I (15f) really want a hug from Jesus. I’m feeling a little sad and it would make me feel better. Do you ever think about this ?

Human beings are, by nature, far too accustomed to the habit of seeking only joy, pleasure, comfort, and consolation. For this reason, most people easily fall for flattery and sweet words of praise. But when it comes to reproof and admonition that point out matters which truly concern their problems, they merely become offended and never fully accept them. This fundamental habit of the flesh only grows stronger, until it becomes nothing more than a habit of endlessly repeating sin. Therefore, do not turn away any longer from the words of Scripture that rebuke your errors. Today’s preaching, which seems to call forth sweet hope and ideals, offering comfort and consolation, has in the end become the very cause of nurturing only the evil habits of repeatedly committing sin. The tragic sermons and doctrines of Christianity today, which stir the emotions with words that make all believers feel as if their problems will be solved at once, are nothing more than delusions—mirages that disappear as soon as one turns away, producing only evil desires and lusts that lead souls to conceive sin for a lifetime. Thus, because people serve God while also serving the world and material things, sermons and doctrines full of lust, corruption, heresy, and falsehood are formed, creating nothing but lukewarm faith that is neither this nor that.
Most faith today is such lukewarm faith—without the fruit of Christ, without the evidence, and without the power—faith that increasingly falls into evil habits of endlessly repeating sin. The tender emotional comfort of sweet words that persuade people to believe in God as though they will thereby gain blessings in business, in work, in family, in happiness and prosperity—the momentary inspiration of soothing consolation and warm encouragement—these are but passing emotions. For those who live repeating sin throughout their lives, such sermons merely stir personal determination, self-awareness, and resolutions that rely only on themselves, but the emotion itself vanishes as soon as they turn away. It is like dough puffed up by leaven: human teaching that always collapses again.
The momentary emotion and lesson, which seem to promise that worldly and fleshly hopes, ideals, and dreams will soon be fulfilled, only serve to nurture ever more the habits of evil lust and desire, so that believers become slaves to the habits created by the evil urges and cravings of humanity—habits that can never be overcome until death. Thus, the sermons and inspirations of today’s pastors, who rely only on words and theories, are nothing other than the same form as the enlightenment taught by all heresies and strange religions. They are the leaven of worldly affairs, the leaven born of human teaching.
Outwardly and with words, they appear as though they are pursuing the holy will of God and the hope of Christ’s love, living the life of Christ with the goal of imitating God’s character. But in reality, they become the very source of sin, repeating it until death, because they follow the lusts of the flesh for the sake of family happiness. This so-called teaching of family peace and happiness is nothing more than a decorated excuse for those who live in the world and in the flesh, and it inevitably multiplies evil sinful habits that repeat sin until death.
In truth, contrary to what human beings imagine, there is no such warm, harmonious, gentle, and love-filled family that satisfies the endless cravings of the flesh. What truly exists is only the pretense of family, beneath which each individual lives enslaved to the habits and nature of fleshly desire—tossed daily according to feelings, emotions, and circumstances.
Through sermons that proclaim family harmony, peace, and love as happiness and blessing, people establish a pretense of serving God while also clinging to the world and material things. With sweet hope of success, they encourage lust and greed under the name of “talents,” teaching doctrines that seem like comforting promises of success and happiness. But in reality, they are the same as all the people of the world and the flesh—enslaved by sinful habits, spending their lives only repeating sin. These shepherds are no different from leaders of false religions, and their lessons, emotions, and doctrines are of the same center and same nature. In other words, though the names, titles, and pretexts of the gods they put forward may differ, they are all alike—merely worldly notions of family harmony, peace, and tranquility.
All this is merely the Word of God in words and appearance, while in reality it is only another form of the so-called enlightenment found in every religion—repeatedly stirring one’s own willpower, self-confidence, pride, self-awareness, determination, and resolution. This is not truth that depends on God, but humanism that depends on oneself. It is not the theocentrism that follows the divine power revealed in the love of God, but anthropocentric Christianity, which inevitably centers on human claims and thoughts that deify man himself. Thus, all its doctrines and inspirations are but leaven that misuses truth, forcing people into endlessly repeating sin.
How can the inspiration and lessons that stir self-awareness, resolutions, and determinations of one’s own will be called the truth of God where His power works? Every sermon of Christianity that has made people slaves of sin, repeating sin until death, is of the same meaning, the same standard, the same center, the same enlightenment, the same grace, and the same inspiration as all the sermons of heresies and the lessons of worldly men. It causes people to rely only on themselves, stirring their own awareness, resolutions, and determinations over and over, until they become slaves to the evil habits of fleshly desire—led to repeat sin throughout their lives. Such man-centered humanism, which uses the Bible as a tool, inevitably produces an endless proliferation of sects upon sects. And without exception, everyone who teaches and learns within Christianity has become enslaved to these evil habits and members of sin—fleshly faiths that can do nothing but repeat sin until the day they die.
He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.(1 John 3 : 8)
Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.(Romans 6 : 16~18)
Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.(John 8 : 34)
Most Christians today have become slaves to men, trapped in a fleshly faith that cannot help but repeat sin all their lives, because instead of teaching and learning the truth of God that follows the power of God revealed in the love of God, they pursue only words and theories, following the teachings and emotions stirred by human sermons. Deceived by human teachings and emotional inspiration, they fail to obtain the divine power manifested in the love of God, and thus are bound to repeat sin until death. Within this problem that pervades all religions and all Christians today—where only sin is endlessly repeated—there is no salvation, no true faith, no Holy Spirit, no power, no gifts, and no love to be found. There is nothing gained except the piling up of sin, no different from the people of the world.
The majority boldly claim that they believe in God, yet among them, there are hardly any who consider it important to ask why they believe in God, or for what purpose they put their faith in Him. But the most important thing of all is precisely this: for what purpose do you believe? That alone is what truly matters.
And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.(Luke 9 : 62)
As for us, our eyes as yet failed for our vain help: in our watching we have watched for a nation that could not save us.(Lamentation 4 : 17)
But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.(Romans 13 : 14)
What matters most is for what purpose you believe. In short, judgment and being saved is determined by whether your faith is a carnal faith that, serving God together with the world and material things, seeks only blessings, happiness, success, and prosperity according to the desires of the flesh, or whether the goal of your life is the hope of Christ—following the love of Christ that denies even one’s own life and sacrifices everything—and thus living the life of a true Christian.
For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.(2 Corinthians 7 : 10)
Those who seek only the cares of this world—family problems, business problems, workplace problems, matters of affection, problems with children, or problems of health—are people of the flesh who, with vain prayers, only increase their sins, for such worldly concerns can only lead to judgment and death. This is because the lusts and desires of the flesh, which unceasingly arise within the hopes of those who pursue the world and the flesh, inevitably become the greatest cause for a life bound to repeat sin without end. Therefore, what matters most is for what purpose one believes in God. A faith that seeks and desires the things of the world and of the flesh becomes the greatest enemy before God and can only stand in opposition to the hope of Christ that follows the love of Christ.
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.(1 John 2 : 15~17)
Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.(James 4 : 3~4)
Most faiths are nothing more than lust-driven faiths of the flesh, centered only on vain prayers that seek happiness for themselves all their lives—asking for nothing beyond family problems, business problems, workplace problems, matters of affection, problems with children, and problems of health, desiring only lusts and greed for living well and eating well. All the hopes, ideals, and dreams of mankind that belong to the world and to the flesh stir up lust and greed, producing only sin, and thus they become the snare of hell that inevitably leads to judgment. The following content reveals that all values pursued in youth—following one’s own heart in hope, plans, ideals, and success—can only stir up greed that leads to endlessly repeating sin, and thus must result in judgment. The emotions that arise from the dreams and hopes of this world and of the flesh are nothing but leaven and deceit that only heap up sin.
Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment. Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh: for childhood and youth are vanity.(Ecclesiastes 11 : 9~10)
No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.(Matthew 6 : 24)
But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.(1 Timothy 6 : 9~10)
Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom.(Proverbs 23 : 4)(Ecclesiastes 5 : 10)
Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you. Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten. Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.(James 5 : 1~3)
The children of love, who follow the love of Christ and abide in the love of God, receive the gift of divine power: to be led into the love that supplies the strength of God, which surpasses the human limitation of endlessly repeating sin despite a lifetime of awakening, determination, and resolve. It is the shepherd of God who leads people to obtain this power of God that transcends human limitation. Sermons of pastors that stir only emotion, determination, and resolve—while still leaving people bound to endlessly repeat sin—are not the truth itself.
On this earth, the greatest adversaries and enemies before God and before Christ have been religions and religious people who claim to believe in God. The faith of Judaism, carried on through Roman Catholicism and Christianity, has become today the greatest adversary, the greatest enemy, and the antichrist before God on this earth. All religions of mankind are creations of man; because they are made by man, they cannot escape the limits of man. The very fact that Christians, enslaved to evil habits of repenting yet turning back again to commit sin, spend their entire lives repeating sin only proves that their faith is a man-made religion that has never transcended human limitations (Matthew 23:1–33).
I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.(Revelation 2 : 9)
Without even realizing that they have become the greatest enemies, adversaries, and antichrists before God in this world, all the pastors of Christianity proclaim as though they were delivering God’s truth, yet their teachings and inspirations are nothing more than emotional impressions and human exhortations that cannot transcend the limitations of mankind, bound to repeat sin. Thus, throughout their entire lives, they can only stir up their own will, their own determination, their own zeal, their own confidence, and their own resolutions, relying on themselves, so that all believers likewise remain unable to escape the frail limitations of humanity that can only repeat sin.
Do you know why countless denominations and countless theologies have arisen today? It is because, by putting religion and denominations at the forefront, people assert their own claims in order to secure power and satisfy selfish desires, and this has become the very core of theology today. This theology of modern Christianity (Catholicism), which denies and despises the Word of God, can rightly be called a human-centered Platonic philosophy. Such an appalling phenomenon, in which the very Word of Scripture is exalted by human-centered interpretations and explanations, arises from humanism that has deified man, built upon human learning, knowledge, experience, and wisdom, which are all bound by limitation. The very Word of God has been turned into a tool for producing heresies upon heresies through human-centered interpretation and explanation, so that mankind itself is gradually deified and exalted.
Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts. For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little: For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people. To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear. But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.(Isaiah 28 : 9~13)
And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken.(Isaiah 8 : 14~15)
What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith. But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness. Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone;(Romans 9 : 30~32)
For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. 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.(Romans 10 : 2~3)
They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course. I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High. But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.(Psalms 82 : 5~7)
There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness. There is a generation, O how lofty are their eyes! and their eyelids are lifted up. There is a generation, whose teeth are as swords, and their jaw teeth as knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men.(Proverbs 30 : 12~14)
The faith of all mankind is not a faith grounded on the Scriptures, but rather a carnal faith that seeks only personal happiness, family success, and blessings. Because they serve God together with the world and material things, they inevitably pursue every kind of lust, corruption, heresy, and falsehood. Thus, their own thoughts, claims, standards, and judgments become their faith, become the Word, become Christ, and become God. In this way, they end up deifying themselves. And so, though they are in reality children of the devil and slaves of sin, endlessly repeating sin throughout their lives, they teach and learn as though they were beautiful Christians living the life of Christ in His love, or as though they were children of God. The pitiful result of such pride is that their consciences (spirits) die, to the point that they no longer even feel the pangs of guilt, and this becomes a great cause of why they cannot help but commit sin until the day they die. It is the blind leading the blind, not even knowing that the spirit is the conscience.
Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.(2 Thessalonians 2 : 3~12)
The reality of the faith of all religionists today is that, because they spend their whole lives piling up sin, their consciences become increasingly desolate, and thus their faith grows ever more impoverished and thirsty, while their lives become more and more weary and worn by the world. This is the pitiful reality of religionists today. Yet even now, those who still pursue only their own happiness, success, ideals, and blessings according to their lusts are, without exception, taking their sins ever more lightly; and furthermore, they are becoming bolder and shameless regarding their sins, falling into a disgraceful faith, turning into monsters who no longer feel even the pangs of conscience (spirit). This is the state of most carnal faith.
Because of pride in their own claims, standards, and judgments, their thoughts become absolute without their realizing it, and their judgments become absolute—leading to a self-deification, acting as if they themselves were God. Since the majority of such long-standing faiths have become hardened and obstinate, teaching and learning in this manner, it is the tragic reality that most Christians spend their whole lives endlessly repeating sin.
True repentance in Christ—repentance that reflects oneself against the Word of God and leads one to turn back and be born again—is revealed only in those who desire to live the life of Christ. This is the repentance of Christ (Romans 5:5; 1 John 3:3; 2 Corinthians 7:11).
The repentance of religionists who ceaselessly repeat sin is meaningless. The very purpose of repentance is the repentance of new birth, in which one no longer commits sin. Therefore, whoever goes on repeating sin, whoever they may be, is not a true Christian. A true Christian does not commit sin; the children of God, having been set free from sin, do not sin.
We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not. And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.(1 John 5 : 18~19)
Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.(1 John 3 : 5~10)
Religion is something made by man; therefore, no matter who the religious person is or what religion they believe in, they can never escape the limitations of humanity. Unlike the children of love who follow the will of God and abide in the love of God, the majority of Christians have long since become slaves to religion made by men, bound to endlessly repeat sin throughout their lives. They have become slaves to words of inspiration and human teachings, to awakenings, resolutions, and determinations born of the flesh, which can never overcome sin, and thus they remain slaves to sin within their evil bodies and corrupt habits, repeating sin until death.
The truth of God is the power of God revealed in His love. The truth is that God’s love is poured into our hearts, leading us to obtain the divine power by which evil human habits—habits that no amount of awakening, resolution, or determination can overcome—are put to death. The power of God that sets us free from sin and leads us to be born again is love. Within love is power, within love is wisdom, and within love is truth. Therefore, it is not the human knowledge, study, learning, and theories gained by human intellect and head, as men pursue (Colossians 2:2–23; Galatians 4:9–11; Isaiah 28:10–13; Proverbs 19:27–29).
Those who continue to repeat sin prove that they belong to the world, and the Word of Scripture already testifies that such are the children of the devil. You, too, are not a Christian, and thus you have come to today’s outcome. Here I set forth the only way to escape from that. Persevere to the end—unto new birth—and you will see the path of life. Continue to read again and again until the end, and you will see the path of life. If you go to the site ‘The Altered and Deleted Bible’ and look at the content below, you will find every answer you have been seeking, and you will also be shown how you must now live.
And because their faith is that of lifelong listeners who seek only their own happiness, success, ideals, and prosperity—instead of the beautiful sacrificial love of Christ and the holy will of God—even the social service, kindness, and charity that anyone in the world can do are paraded as if they were the love of the cross that lays down one’s life; thus Christians have become a laughingstock to the devotees of every false religion. Most such Christians act one way inside the church and another outside; their outward show and inner reality differ; their words and deeds do not match. They perfect only a duplicitous craft that pretends to be holy, kind, courteous, humble, and good. These are Christians who cannot escape the human limit of repeating sin until death. This is because neither all religions nor Christianity was made by God; they were made by humans for their lusts—therefore, within Christianity, not even a mustard-seed of faith, evidence, or fruit appears.
…Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Repent, and turn yourselves from your idols; and turn away your faces from all your abominations. For every one of the house of Israel, or of the stranger that sojourneth in Israel, which separateth himself from me, and setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to a prophet to inquire of him concerning me; I the LORD will answer him by myself: And I will set my face against that man, and will make him a sign and a proverb, and I will cut him off from the midst of my people; and ye shall know that I am the LORD. And if the prophet be deceived when he hath spoken a thing, I the LORD have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand upon him, and will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel. And they shall bear the punishment of their iniquity: the punishment of the prophet shall be even as the punishment of him that seeketh unto him; That the house of Israel may go no more astray from me, neither be polluted any more with all their transgressions; but that they may be my people, and I may be their God, saith the Lord GOD.(Ezekiel 14 : 4~11)
Thus saith the LORD, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest? For all those things hath mine hand made, and those things have been, saith the LORD: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word. He that killeth an ox is as if he slew a man; he that sacrificeth a lamb, as if he cut off a dog’s neck; he that offereth an oblation, as if he offered swine’s blood; he that burneth incense, as if he blessed an idol. Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations. I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did evil before mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not.(Isaiah 66 : 1~4)
Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant. Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led.(1 Corinthians 12 : 1~2)
This evil people, which refuse to hear my words, which walk in the imagination of their heart, and walk after other gods, to serve them, and to worship them, shall even be as this girdle, which is good for nothing.(Jeremiah 13 : 10)
We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error. Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.(1 John 4 : 6~8)
Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;(1 Timothy 4 : 1~2)
Thus saith the LORD, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest? For all those things hath mine hand made, and those things have been, saith the LORD: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word. He that killeth an ox is as if he slew a man; he that sacrificeth a lamb, as if he cut off a dog’s neck; he that offereth an oblation, as if he offered swine’s blood; he that burneth incense, as if he blessed an idol. Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations. I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did evil before mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not.(Isaiah 66 : 1~4)
Because people serve God together with the world and with material things, they end up teaching and learning every kind of corruption, heresy, and falsehood, and thus all kinds of deceiving spirits are at work. To those who seek the world, the god of the world works; to those who seek material things, the god of material things works; to those who seek lust, the god of lust works; and to those who seek carnal desire, the god of carnal desire works—disguising themselves as if they were God or Christ. They are teaching and learning without even realizing that they are being led by demons. All human beings, from a very young age, are inevitably raised indiscriminately under these seven hidden emotional sins.
When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out. And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished. Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.(Luke 11 : 24~26)(Matthew 12 : 43)
Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils. And she went and told them that had been with him, as they mourned and wept. And they, when they had heard that he was alive, and had been seen of her, believed not.(Mark 16 : 9~11)(Luke 8 : 2~3)
To those who envy, the spirit of envy works; to those who are jealous, the spirit of jealousy; to those who hate, the spirit of hatred; to those who are proud, the spirit of pride; to those who harbor lust, the spirit of lust; to those who are filled with wrath, the spirit of wrath; and to those who practice lies, the spirit of lies is at work. In other words, the working of the seven demons that were upon Mary Magdalene is the same working that is upon all people. Those in whom these abominable seven emotions of man dwell have neither received the Holy Spirit—the Spirit of truth—nor received power, nor received gifts. Everything they claim is nothing more than the work of demons, identical to the practices of shamans who serve false spirits and the religious people of all religions who worship these false spirits.
He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him; When he speaketh fair, believe him not: for there are seven abominations in his heart.(Proverbs 26 : 24~25)
Therefore, as the above passage declares, even if one awakens, resolves, and makes determinations hundreds or even thousands of times, following the inspiration and teachings of words that only lead one to keep repeating sin until death, one can never be born again nor be set free from sin. No matter how moving a human sermon may seem, if it merely stirs emotions and arouses feelings, it is the deceptive work of the devil, deceiving with teachings and inspirations that do not impart the Holy Spirit, taught by those who possess the abominable seven corrupt emotions; thus you must not believe them. In other words, do not follow the teachings and inspirations that arise only from human awakenings, resolutions, and determinations given by those with the seven evil emotions, for such things merely cause believers to repeat sin throughout their lifetime. The inspiration and teaching in which the divine power of God’s love does not work is not the truth of God. Moreover, those who harbor the seven emotions are not those who have the power of God—that is, the Holy Spirit—that proceeds from God’s love; therefore, you must not believe their sermons.
Those who have not even a mustard seed of faith, who cannot help but repeat sin until death, are children of the devil. Yet they claim themselves to be children of God, true Christians, shepherds of God, receivers of the Holy Spirit, speakers in tongues, workers of power, prophets, or witnesses. They rationalize the signs and wonders of demons—the very phenomena found among shamans and false religions who serve other spirits, never found in the Scriptures—as though they were from God, as though from Christ, as though from the Holy Spirit. In truth, what works within them is according to the wages of their sin, according to what they have harbored in their hearts. They do not even realize that it is demons acting as though they were God or Christ. Among religionists, they teach communion with spirits as though it were receiving the Holy Spirit; they call incantations and sorcery that summon spirits “tongues”; they call fortune-telling and divination “prophecy”; they call every kind of demonic wonder “the miracles of God.” And because they serve God together with the world and material wealth, their prayers—being for nothing but worldly ideals, hopes, happiness, blessings—are prayers for lust in which demons must inevitably work. Thus those who seek the world receive the god of this world; those who seek wealth receive the god of wealth; those who seek lust receive the god of lust; those who seek carnal passion receive carnal passion—as if such were God, or Christ, or an angel, disguised and masquerading. There is no one who knows this, no one who teaches it, and no one who learns it.
And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.(Matthew 17 : 20)
If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.(John 15 : 7)(Mark 9 : 23)
For over two thousand years, no power, evidence, or fruit of faith as small as a mustard seed has appeared, Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God. And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, (1 John 3 : 21~24) because this is a fleshly faith that serves God together with the world and with material things, inevitably pursuing every kind of lust, corruption, heresy, and falsehood. Since it is a faith of the flesh that cannot but repeat sin until death, they remain sinners who cannot but be reproved before God until the very end, and thus no miracle, no power, no evidence, nor fruit as small as a mustard seed has ever been revealed. The children of God and true Christians are known by their fruit. The fruit of the flesh, in which sin is repeated, is nothing but sin.
Those who have not even a mustard seed of faith, who cannot help but repeat sin until death, are children of the devil. Yet they claim themselves to be children of God, true Christians, shepherds of God, receivers of the Holy Spirit, speakers in tongues, workers of power, prophets, or witnesses. They rationalize the signs and wonders of demons—the very phenomena found among shamans and false religions who serve other spirits, never found in the Scriptures—as though they were from God, as though from Christ, as though from the Holy Spirit. In truth, what works within them is according to the wages of their sin, according to what they have harbored in their hearts. They do not even realize that it is demons acting as though they were God or Christ.
Among religionists, they teach communion with spirits as though it were receiving the Holy Spirit; they call incantations and sorcery that summon spirits “tongues”; they call fortune-telling and divination “prophecy”; they call every kind of demonic wonder “the miracles of God.” And because they serve God together with the world and material wealth, their prayers—being for nothing but worldly ideals, hopes, happiness, blessings—are prayers for lust in which demons must inevitably work. Thus those who seek the world receive the god of this world; those who seek wealth receive the god of wealth; those who seek lust receive the god of lust; those who seek carnal passion receive carnal passion—as if such were God, or Christ, or an angel, disguised and masquerading.
A faith that is not measured by Scripture but believes by one’s own thoughts, claims, standards, and judgments is, in effect, saying that the self is the Word, the Christ, and God. Repentance is begin by bringing our lives—bound to repeat sin until death—into the light of the Word to expose what is wrong. Repentance that still repeats sin is worthless. The very purpose of repentance is the repentance of new birth, in which one no longer commits sin. Therefore, whoever goes on repeating sin, whoever they may be, is not a true Christian. A true Christian does not commit sin; the children of God, having been set free from sin, do not sin.
To lead people to receive the love of God is the work of a true shepherd of God, and that is the truth. The Word declares that the love of God comes and supplies us with love. Yet today, there is not a single Christian who truly lives according to such a Word. In other words, what they call the Word, the Spirit, prophecy, tongues, and truth, comes from those who do not have even the evidence, the power, or the fruit of faith as small as a mustard seed. Do not follow the teachings of man that exalt only the inspiration of words, without the evidence appearing as the Scripture says. Instead, follow the true shepherd who leads so that the evidence and the fruit described below will surely appear.
But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.(Ephesians 4 : 15~16)
hope: And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.(Romans 5 : 4~5)
Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.(Colossians 2 : 18~19)
For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works…(Titus 2 : 11~15)
For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, 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.(Titus 3 : 3~7)
The love of God comes into our hearts and nurtures us. If there is a Christian who does not understand this meaning, then depart quickly from that church and from that pastor. For God is love. Any spirit, gift, power, tongues, or prophecy that does not abide in this love of God is 100% the spirit of Satan—it is the work of demons, pretense, falsehood, corruption, and heresy. “For though he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him by the power of God toward you.” (2 Corinthians 13:4) Just as this Word declares, to lead believers to receive the gift of power by which love is supplied is the work of God’s shepherd, the truth of God, and the gift of God. Faith and belief that do not show even the power, the fruit, or the evidence of a mustard seed are nothing but dead faith, the faith of the adversary, and the fleshly faith that stands as an enemy against love.
Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit. And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. We love him, because he first loved us. If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.(1 John 4 : 7~21)
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.(2 Timothy 3 : 16~17)
All the words of God, His ideals, His power, and His truth exist in order to make us children of love, resembling God who is the source of love. It is not by the will or zeal of man born of the flesh, but by pursuing the love of God and receiving the supply of the power of His love, that He leads us to fully do good works. Therefore, a true Christian neither lives nor dies for himself.
If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.(1 Timothy 4 : 6)
For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.(Romans 14 : 7)
Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.(Romans 13 : 8~10)
Do not follow the teachings of man that, failing to lead you to receive the love of God in which the power of God works, only stir up awakenings, resolutions, and determinations by relying on oneself through the inspiration of words throughout a lifetime. The teachings of man, which endlessly repeat awakenings, resolutions, and determinations but can never go beyond the limits of man, only puff up the hearts of believers like leaven that soon dies out when one turns away. They are nothing but intellectual, academic, theoretical, and emotional values that twist and falsify the interpretation of the Scriptures. By such means, one can never escape the limits of the flesh, and no matter how much one learns, hears, perceives, or knows, whoever follows the teachings of man is nothing but a child of the devil who only repeats sin.
For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.(2 Corinthians 10 : 3~6)
As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.(2 Peter 3 : 16~17)
Whoever continues to repeat sin, no matter who they are, is nothing but a child of the devil. Remember that He came to call sinners. Repent, as He commanded: Repent! Receive the power of God’s love that puts to death the evil habits of man that can only lead to the repetition of sin. Please, read the Scriptures. The Word of God testifies to this: “My people, blinded by sin, are a people who have eyes but cannot see, ears but cannot hear—they are ignorant and senseless.”
He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.(1 John 3 : 8)
What matters most is for what purpose you believe. A prayer of faith that follows after the love of God obtains His power in the struggle to overcome one’s weakness and to gain His love. But the fleshly faith that belongs to the world and to the flesh seeks only throughout life the problems of family, affection, children, business, work, and health for the sake of one’s own happiness and blessing until death, and thus becomes a slave of created things, denying the sacrifice and love of the cross that gives even its own life, repeating sin throughout one’s whole life. In short, countless believers serve God while serving the world and material things together, and the question is whether it is a fleshly faith that seeks only blessings, happiness, success, and prosperity according to the desires of the flesh, or whether it is the faith that sacrifices everything, even one’s own life, following after the love of Christ, making the hope of Christ the goal of life, and living the life of Christ. By this distinction, it is determined whether one is a child of salvation or a child of judgment.
Those who ask only for worldly concerns—such as problems of family, business, work, love, children, and health—are those who belong to the flesh, which leads to judgment and death. But the children of love, who follow the love of Christ and abide in the love of God, receive the gift of divine power: to be led into the love that supplies the strength of God, which surpasses the human limitation of endlessly repeating sin despite a lifetime of awakening, determination, and resolve. It is the shepherd of God who leads people to obtain this power of God that transcends human limitation. Sermons of pastors that stir only emotion, determination, and resolve—while still leaving people bound to endlessly repeat sin—are not the truth itself. By abusing the truth—turning it into academic theories, human arguments, and intellectualized claims—they establish worldly lessons and stir worldly emotions, teaching only human inspiration that relies on oneself, so that all believers are led into habits of self-awareness, resolutions, and determinations that spring from their own temper, thereby becoming slaves to evil habits that can only repeat sin throughout their lives. The fruit of this is nothing but repeated sin. A faith that spends a lifetime teaching only with words and hearing only with ears is one that betrays Christ, who followed the love of the cross even to the sacrifice of His life. Such people exalt only their own voice, absolutizing their knowledge, theories, and wisdom, and have made the holy name of God worth less than filth. Those who trample on the love of the cross and exalt themselves as though they were God teach nothing but heresies, corruptions, arrogance, and false interpretations—forced distortions of every kind.
As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.(2 Peter 3 : 16~17)
For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.(2 Corinthians 10 : 3~6)
Truth is the love that leads us to obtain the evidence, the sign, and the fruit of the power of God. It is the unshaken love of God’s truth that becomes our strength and guides us to receive His authority, so that we may escape from the evil habits of humanity and the path of sinners, where sin can only be repeated. The truth of love is the very beauty of abundant liberality, overflowing thanksgiving, and praise within the love of God. Any shepherd who does not lead others to bear this beautiful fruit and evidence of love is, without exception, the greatest adversary and enemy before God. Therefore, come out of the path of sinners and become a true Christian who receives and practices the power of God, walking on the path of the righteous according to His love and mercy. Become a servant of love who follows after the love of God. For now you are a slave to religion that only repeats sin, or a slave to man. But the servant of God is one who becomes united in love within the love of God.
If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.(1 Timothy 4 : 6)
But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.(Ephesians 4 : 15~16)
That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness; Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:(Colossians 1 : 10~14)
For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works…(Titus 2 : 11~15)
Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.(Romans 6 : 16~18)
For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.(Romans 8 : 19~21)
The shepherd of God is the power, the might, and the authority that, through the truth which enables one to obtain the power of God, leads them out of the path of sinners and into the path of the righteous, guiding them to practice the unshaken love of God. It is not service or charity born of man’s frail will, swayed by circumstances, by moods, or by feelings. Rather, the divine power that follows the love of God—where the power of love is at work—comes forth from obedience that follows love, a love that sacrifices everything of oneself, adding patience to patience and temperance to temperance. (Matthew 5:46–48) (Luke 6:32–33) (Matthew 6:16–17)
I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied. But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.(Jeremiah 23 : 21~22)
Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him; Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.(James 5 : 19~20)
Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin; That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.(1 Peter 4 : 1~2)
And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.(Daniel 12 : 3)
My covenant was with him of life and peace; and I gave them to him for the fear wherewith he feared me, and was afraid before my name. The law of truth was in his mouth, and iniquity was not found in his lips: he walked with me in peace and equity, and did turn many away from iniquity.(Malachi 2 : 5~6)
For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.(Titus 2 : 11~15)
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.(Romans 10 : 3)
The charity, almsgiving, and service of religious people or Christians that arise from human will are but human righteousness, for which no heavenly reward can exist. But the charity, service, and love that follow the divine power manifested in the love of God are called the righteousness of God. The righteousness that receives salvation as a reward in heaven is only the charity, service, and love that follow the divine power revealed in the unshaken love of God.
The love of Christ is not the social charity or religious service that springs from man’s own will, from momentary emotion, from changing circumstances, from moods, from interests, or from responsibilities, nor is it the kind that seeks to boast of oneself or advertise oneself. Such charity and service, which are mere pretense and hypocrisy, promoting and advertising one’s religion, church, or self, are no different from the charity and service of worldly corporations, which anyone can do. Rather, such works only disgrace the love of the cross of Christ, who gave even His life.
But the charity and service of love that follow Christ’s unshaken love, where the power of God is at work, are treasures stored in heaven that become merit leading to salvation. The righteousness that builds the beautiful character of God through the goodness and righteousness that follow the love of God is the way, the truth, and the life that lead all people to heaven and salvation.
The true shepherd of Christ is a shepherd of love who leads souls away from the path of sin and onto the right path.
The kingdom of God is a kingdom of love, and only those who possess the love of God can enter it.
Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:(Colossians 1 : 13~14)
Whoever, by the beautiful love of God being poured out, cannot lead others to obtain the divine power that transcends the limits within the evil human habits by which one can only go on repeating sin—whoever they may be—is not a shepherd sent by God. God’s shepherd comes only in accordance with what is written in the Word of Scripture. Teaching and learning that put forward the human mind and intellect, founded on words, theories, knowledge, and scholarship, do not have the power of God at work; therefore, one can never depart from the sinner’s path on which sin is only repeated throughout a lifetime.
That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall shew judgment to the Gentiles. He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets. A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory. And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.(Matthew 12 : 17~21)
Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles. He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street. A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth. He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law. Thus saith God the LORD, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein: I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles; To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.(Isaiah 42 : 1~7)
Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to this temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts. But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner’s fire, and like fullers’ soap: And he shall sit as a refiner and purifer of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness.(Malachi 3 : 1~3)
And it shall be for a sign and for a witness unto the LORD of hosts in the land of Egypt: for they shall cry unto the LORD because of the oppressors, and he shall send them a saviour, and a great one, and he shall deliver them.(Isaiah 19 : 20)
This is that Moses, which said unto the children of Israel, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear.(Acts 7 : 37)
And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.(Revelation 15 : 3)
Consider and ponder why, in the last days, those who survive will sing the Song of Moses. All alike, they treat the words of Scripture as if they were nothing more than old stories, while putting forward their own claims, using salvation, the Holy Spirit, hell, and eternal punishment as stepping stones for their own gain. Thus, the form of such religious people has become that of slaves, whose very daily life is a life of repeating sin. The punishment of judgment that comes from sin, according to one’s own thoughts, claims, and judgments, is a terror and dread beyond what human imagination can even picture. Any claim, judgment, or standard that is not testified by the Word of Scripture is in itself a declaration that one is the truth and that one is God. Therefore, restrain yourself, and cast away every claim, judgment, and standard that is not in the Word. The Word of Scripture is the immortal truth that cannot lose even one jot or tittle. And whoever they may be—if there is no evidence and fruit of the power of God—then every shepherd, every teaching, and every learning is nothing other than an adversary, an enemy, and an antichrist before God.
That judgment is at hand is something anyone can sense by seeing the many disasters, calamities, and natural laws unfolding in the world. Yet, be mindful that the way God’s Word will work in this world will be fulfilled exactly as the Scriptures themselves declare. Whoever denies the Scripture concerning Moses coming again to this earth as the Savior will by no means, without exception, escape the fearful and dreadful judgment of God. Your salvation depends upon your choice. I ask you this: if the Word of God above does not appear, then would there be any reason for us to look at the Scriptures at all? Will you believe and follow the content of the Scripture above? Or, even after seeing these Scriptures, will you persist in your own claims and refuse to follow them? Is your faith grounded in the authority of the Bible, or is it grounded in your own opinion? This is the grim reality of today’s Christians, who cannot help but fall into corruption, depravity, falsehood, and evil deeds. According to this Word, the wheat and the tares are separated.
