Chris White Debunks David Icke

This is 2.5 hour film from Chris White takes a very close look at David Icke's history and beliefs. It reveals the true sources of David Icke's theories which are often shocking , and should be very concerning for a genuine seeker of truth. This is a well rounded expose which is done respectfully, while still attempting to get the average truther deceived by the New Age Movement to reevaluate what they think they know about the Illuminati.

The Sons of God of Genesis 6





Genetic Manipulation
Of Humans & Animals By Fallen Angels

THE SEED OF THE WOMAN VERSUS THE SEED OF SATAN:

Genesis 3:14-15: "And the LORD God said unto the serpent, ... And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it [the seed of the woman, Jesus] shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel."

The seed of the woman signifies the seed of 1) Eve, the mother of all mankind, 2) the symbolic woman, Israel (Revelation 12:1-5), and ultimately, 3) Mary, the mother of the Lord Jesus' human body (Isaiah 7:14; Jeremiah 31:22, Matthew 1:23, Luke 1:28-35).

THE SONS OF GOD & THE NEPHILIM:

The fallen sons of God attempt to infiltrate and corrupt the seed of the woman!

Genesis 6:1-2, 4: "And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, that the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. ... There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown."

The word "GIANTS" in Genesis 6:4 is from the Hebrew: "Nephilim" (plural) or "Nephil" (singular) which is derived from "Naphal" meaning "fall" or "fallen."

THE NEPHILIM, REPHAIM, ANAKIM, EMIM, & ZAMZUMMIM

The word's for giants and tribes of giants in the Bible are: Nephilim (found 3 times), Rephaim (25 times), Anakim (18), Emim (3), Zamzummim (1). Examples follow:

Deuteronomy 2:10-11: "The Emims dwelt therein in times past, a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims; Which also were accounted giants [Rephaim], as the Anakims; but the Moabites call them Emims."

Deuteronomy 2:20-21: "That also was accounted a land of giants [Rephaim]: giants [Rephaim] dwelt therein in old time; and the Ammonites call them Zamzummims; A people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims; but the LORD destroyed them before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead.

Deuteronomy 9:2: "A people great and tall, the children of the Anakims, whom thou knowest, and of whom thou hast heard say, Who can stand before the children of Anak!"

Numbers 13:33: "And there we saw the giants [Nephilim], the sons of Anak, which come of the giants [Nephilim]: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight."

It could be that the "the children of Anak" or "Anakim" could be related to the even more ancient Sumerian name "Anunnaki" (meaning: princely offspring). The Anunnaki were false gods from Sumerian (modern Iraq). An ancient Sumerian texts calls them "those who from heaven to earth came."

WHAT ARE SONS OF GOD?

The "SONS OF GOD" of Genesis 6 and elsewhere are direct creation of God (There are 4 kinds of sons of God):

1. Angels, including fallen angels:
Job 38:4-7: "Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding. Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it? Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof; When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?" (cf. Job 1:6, 2:1)

2. Adam:
Luke 3:38: "Which was the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the son of God." (cf. Genesis 2:7)

3. Christ's physically born body:
John 1:1, 14: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. ... 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."
John 3:18: "He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."
1 John 4:9: "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."

4. The saved person's born again spirit and later glorified body:
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."
1 Peter 1:23: "Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever."
Luke 20:35-36: "But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection."

NOAH'S PURE GENE POOL:

Almighty Jehovah counters the fallen sons of God by preserving a pure gene pool of Adam's seed from which the woman's seed will come. Noah's purely Adamic genes will be used to repopulate the earth after the Great Flood.

Genesis 6:8-10: "But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD. These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God. And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth."

The phrase in Genesis 6:9 that Noah was "perfect in his generations" pertains to him being genetically uncorrupted by the devils called "the sons of God." Noah was not a genetic monstrosity, but was perfectly human. In that "Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD" and "walked with God" shows that he was also a saved and serving child of God.

DISOBEDIENT SPIRITS IN PRISON:

The fallen sons of God committed sin "even as" the Sodomites by unnatural fornication with the daughters of men. The ones that gave themselves over to such vile acts are now being held in God's prison to be released upon the lost of this world during the seven year Tribulation.

2 Peter 2:4-5: "For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly."

1 Peter 3:18-20: "For Christ ... by the Spirit ... went and preached unto the spirits in prison; Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water."

Jude 6-7: "And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, He hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire."

2 Corinthians 5:2: "For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven."

The Greek word "oiketerion" is found in the Bible only twice, once here in Jude 6 translated "habitation" and again in 2 Corinthians 5:2 where it speaks of the future heavenly body of born again believers as "our house." It appears that the same is true of the angels that committed fornication with human women same Jude 6. They genetically enginered bodies for themselves. For this God has imprisoned them "... in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day." (Jude 6)

THE CHAINED DEVILS WILL ONE DAY BE UNLEASHED UPON THE LOST:

In Joel 2 and Revelation 9 we see that during the Tribulation or "the judgment of the great day" both fallen angels and their progeny will be unleashed from the bottomless pit upon lost men. Some of the offspring of the Genesis 6 "sons of God" are monstrous:

Revelation 9:1-10: "And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. 2 And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. 3 And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. 4 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads. 5 And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man. 6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them. 7 And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men. 8 And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions. 9 And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle. 10 And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months."

Joel 2:1-10: "Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh [The Tribulation], for it is nigh at hand; 2 A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations. 3 A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth: the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them. 4 The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they run. 5 Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array. 6 Before their face the people shall be much pained: all faces shall gather blackness. 7 They shall run like mighty men [This is the same word "gibborim" as used in Genesis 6:4 concerning the Giants or Nephilim]; they shall climb the wall like men of war; and they shall march every one on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks: 8 Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk every one in his path: and when they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded. 9 They shall run to and fro in the city; they shall run upon the wall, they shall climb up upon the houses; they shall enter in at the windows like a thief. 10 The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining"

Revelation 9:16-19: "And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them. 17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone. 18 By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths. 19 For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt."

DEVILS NOT CONFINED IN THE BOTTOMLESS PIT FEAR THE PLACE:

The fallen "sons of God" or devils that did not commit fornication before the Great Flood and are not "reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day" (Jude 6) greatly fear the fate of chained angels who are now imprisoned in the bottomless pit. The Greek word "abussos" translated "bottomless pit" in the Book of Revelation is also translated "the deep" in Luke 8:31. Note the Lord Jesus' encounter with a legion of unbound devils in Luke 8.

Luke 8:27-31: "... a certain man, which had devils long time, ... 28 when he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God most high? I beseech thee, torment me not. 29 (For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. ...) 30 And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion: because many devils were entered into him. 31 And they besought Him that He would not command them to go out into the deep."

AS IN THE DAYS OF NOAH, SO IT SHALL BE AT COMING OF CHRIST:

Matthew 24:37-39: "But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be." (cf. Luke 17:26-27)

What were the days of Noah like?

1. Matthew 24:38 above indicates that there will be a sence of complacency:
Luke 17:27: "They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all."

2. Violent, evil, and wicked men had corrupted the world:
Genesis 6:5, 11-12: "And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. ... The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth."
2 Timothy 3:1-5 "This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away."

3. People were giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils:
1 Timothy 4:1: "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."

4. There were disobedient and sinful angels involved in genetic mischief:
Daniel 2:32-33, 40-44: "This image’s head was of fine gold [The Babylonian Empire], his breast and his arms of silver [The Medo-Persian Empire], his belly and his thighs of brass [The Greek Empire], 33 His legs of iron [The Roman Empire], his feet part of iron and part of clay [The New World Order's World Government]. ... 40 And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things: and as iron that breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise. 41 And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters’ clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay. 42 And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken. 43 And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they [devils] shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay. 44 And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever."

Thus it is today with "UFO abductions" of aliens (devils) for experimentation, and even human geneticists involved in Transhumanism through genetic engineering to overcome biological limitations for the purpose of transforming and even weaponizing human beings. It has already begun.

JUDAS, SATAN'S ANTICHRIST CLONE:

Jude 9: "Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses ... said, The Lord rebuke thee."

Why would Satan want "the body of Moses," except for genetic reproduction for a physical body? God would not allow him the body of Moses, but will allow him the body of Judas.

2 Thessalonians 2:3-4: "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."

John 17:12: "While I [Jesus] was with them [the disciples and apostles] in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled."

John 6:70-71: "Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil? He spake of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for he it was that should betray him, being one of the twelve."

Acts 1:16-17, 20, 24-26: "Men and brethren, this scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spake before concerning Judas, which was guide to them that took Jesus. For he was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this ministry. ... For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell therein: and his bishoprick let another take. ... And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, which knowest the hearts of all men, shew whether of these two thou hast chosen, that he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place. And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles."

Revelation 17:8, 10-13: "The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit ["his own place" -- Acts 1:25], and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. ... 10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen [Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece], and one is [Rome], and the other is not yet come [The covert New World Order cabal]; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. 11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth [The overt New World Order headed by the Antichrist clone], and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition. 12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings [Feet and toes of clay and iron, that is, the seed of devils mingled with the seed of men of Daniel 2:43], which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. 13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast."

DEVILS, GENETICS, THE MARK OF THE BEAST AND GEMATRIA:

"Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six [666]." (Revelation 13:18)

Greek GematriaYears ago Dr. Jerry R. Church while studying Revelation 13 developed an English Gematria system based on increments of six (A=6, B=12, C=18, D=24, E=30, etc.) similar to the ancient Sumerian system of counting. It is interesting that in Greek Gamatria the Lord's name, JESUS, is equal to 888. Eight is the Biblical number of new beginnings, as with 8 people being saved through the Flood to begin afresh (1 Peter 3:20; 2 Peter 2:5). See the English Gematria Calculator to verify the Gematria findings below:

JESUS: GOD, SON = 888 (John 1:1, 14, 18, 3:16, 18; 1 John 4:9, 5:7)
MESSIAH JESUS = 888 (Daniel 9:25-26)
CHRIST RECEIVED = 888 (John 1:11-13)
SAVED IN JESUS = 888 (2 Timothy 1:9)
THE KING JESUS = 888 (John 18;37; Revelation 17:14, 19:16)
NOAH'S PURE GENE = 888 (Genesis 6:9: "... Noah was ... perfect in his generations ...")

DEVIL GENE MAN = 666 (John 6:70)
IMAGE OF JUDAS = 666 (John 17:12; Acts 1:25; 2 Thess 2:3; Rev 17:8, 11)
HE'S A FALLEN MAN = 666 (Acts 1:25)
OF A FALLEN ANGEL = 666 (Luke 10:18)
GENETIC EVIL = 666
GENETICIST = 666
A TRANSGENIC = 666 (A Transgenic is an organism that contains genetic material into which DNA from an unrelated organism has been artificially introduced.)
SEED MINGLER = 666 (Daniel 2:43 says, "they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men.")
ANGEL LUST = 666 (Jude 6-7)
A FLESH DESIRE = 666 (Jude 9)
AN ANGEL DEMIGOD = 666 (A demigod is a minor god or a male being, often the offspring of a minor god.)
DEVIL DOGMAS = 666 (1 Timothy 4:1)
ANUNNAKI GOD = 666 (The name means "princely offspring." The Anunnaki were a group of deities from Sumerian, Akkadian and Babylonian. An ancient Sumerian texts calls them "those who from heaven to earth came." This name precisely fits the "sons of God" of Genesis 6.)

JUDAS ISCARIOT = 894
               - DEATH = 228
                                 666

Harlot's Attire

The Attire of An Harlot
By Stacey Shiflett

Proverbs 7:10: "And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot, and subtil of heart."

In Proverbs 7, Solomon is warning his son about the dangers of sexual immorality. This wise and concerned father is telling his son that sin is all around, and that he must recognize it when he sees it.

One of the things he warned his son about was women dressed in the attire of an harlot. Strangely enough, it doesn't say she was a harlot, though it's obvious by her actions that she was. The interesting thing is she is described by her attire; her clothing.

One of the things that bother me as a preacher is the fact that many times I get accused of being judgmental and casting judgment on people without really knowing them or knowing all the facts. Here we see Solomon, undoubtedly the wisest man that ever lived, is judging a woman by her clothing, by looking out of his window in the dark of night! Furthermore, he's teaching his son to judge them by their clothing!

In my effort to convey the truth without giving anybody a reason to judge me for judging others, I'm going to do something that is perfectly fair and sensible. Instead of trying to figure out what this harlot was wearing, I'm going to turn it around. We are going to play a game of elimination in order to show what a good, godly woman should wear. The way we will do this is simple. We will try to determine what the harlot in Proverbs 7 WAS NOT wearing!

I know, many will say that I have no idea what I am talking about because we don't know for sure what harlots wore in those days. That's fine. I agree. That's why I'm going to make an application to the day and age in which we live and make this modern and practical. Everybody agrees I'm sure that the Word of God applies today, and that it's teachings and warnings should be heeded. So in saying that, let's make a couple of safe assumptions.

Assumption 1: We have harlots today.

Assumption 2: Harlots wear clothes.

Assumption 3: Harlots wear wrong clothes.

Assumption 4: Christians should not.

How are we doing so far? In order to accurately judge what a godly, Christian woman should wear, let's examine Scripture. As I'm sure you do, I believe the Bible is the Final Authority for ALL matters of faith and practice. (That would even include our wardrobe.)

So, what did that harlot in Proverbs 7 have on? One thing we know she wasn't wearing. She wasn't wearing clothing that was modest. We can safely assume that. You see, harlotry has often been called the oldest profession in the world. That may very well be true. It certainly is not new.

Women thousands of years ago learned one simple fact. Men are affected by what they see. Men respond to what they see. The Bible has a lot to say about men's eyes. Notice this verse. Proverbs 27:20 "he11 and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied."

What about this one? Matthew 5:28: "But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart."

So you see, men are affected by what they see. Now, according to Proverbs 7:7, this young man was clearly not the sharpest kid on the block. It says: "And beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man void of understanding." But one thing about this guy was working perfectly normal. His eyes were fine.

Modest clothing is commanded in the word of God for godly, Christian women. In 1 Timothy 2:9 it says: "In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; ..." Needless to say, the harlot in Proverbs 7 DID NOT have on modest apparel. She was dressed in a way that even in the dark of night (Bible says in the preceding verse: "In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night:), she could be seen and seduce this young man.

We don't know what she was wearing, but we do know what she wasn't wearing! She wasn't wearing modest apparel.

What is modest apparel? Does anybody know? Are there any clues? Absolutely! The Greek word for 'modest apparel' in this verse is katastole (pronounced kat-as-tol-ay’). It means: a lowering, letting down; a garment let down, dress, attire. – Bible Greek Lexicon

Now I don't profess to be a Greek scholar, or even a Bible scholar for that matter. However, I think it's pretty clear what women are supposed to wear according to these verses; long, loose, modest dresses.

You might say, well, how long is long? Who's to say something is long or short? That's an excellent point. That's why we must refer to our Bible for that answer. Let's see what God says.

Isaiah 47:1-3: "Come down, and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon, ... O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called tender and delicate. ... uncover thy locks, make bare the leg, uncover the thigh, pass over the rivers. Thy nakedness shall be uncovered, yea, thy shame shall be seen: I will take vengeance, and I will not meet thee as a man."

We can see from these verses that God considers a woman uncovering her leg or her thigh to be 'nakedness'. I think we must agree that God's description of 'modest apparel' in the Bible would have to mean that whatever it is a woman wears, it must be long and cover her legs.

Having said that, we can safely conclude that the harlot in Proverbs 7 did not have on a long skirt or a long, loose flowing dress. As we said earlier, we cannot conceive the fact that if she did, Solomon would have described her as a woman dressed in the attire of an harlot.

One thing is very clear to me, as a man and as a preacher of the Gospel. Too many women and girls today are wearing the attire of an harlot. They are dressing themselves in a fashion that causes men to lust after them. They dress in a way that draws attention to their bodies. God is not pleased with that!

Dear sister in the Lord, do yourself a favor. Drive through the streets of your city late at night and look at the women standing on the street corners. Look at what they are wearing. Look at how they dress themselves. Notice what they picked out while they were shopping for clothing. Notice what they knew lustful, wicked men would be attracted to. Observe what they realized would appeal to their wicked, sinful desires. Their wardrobe includes shorts, mini-skirts, low blouses, sleeveless shirts, tight clothing, blue jeans, pants and other sinful attire. Nothing godly.

Now go home, look in your closet. What do you see? Do you see anything that even closely resembles what those women were wearing? Do you have clothing in your house that reveals your legs? Do you have skirts or dresses that are not long enough to fit the description of modest apparel? Do you by any chance have any clothing that would be too tight, too see-through, too clingy, too masculine to be worn by a godly, chaste, virtuous lady?

If so, you need to throw it out. You need to ask God to forgive you for wearing the attire of an harlot. You need to realize the awfulness of allowing the unbelievers and Hollywood and the harlots and lesbians of this world to influence your wardrobe.

Is your clothing modest? Is it feminine? Is it ladylike? Is it loose, flowing, and long? Is it a dress? God forbid that any born-again lady dress herself in the attire of an harlot.

The Gospel

The Gospel of Jesus Christ

The Gospel of Jesus Christ from Way of Life.


"The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." (2 Peter 3:9)

"Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil." (Proverbs 3:5-7)

"Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit .... As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die ...?" (Ezekiel 18:31, 33:11)

"I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. ... I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. ... He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death. ... But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death." (Revelation 1:8, 18, 2:11, 21:8)

"But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." (1 Corinthians 15:57)

"For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?" (1 John 5:4-5)

"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. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. ... He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him." (John 3:16-21, 36)

"Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures." (1 Corinthians 15:1-4)

VIDEOS DEFENDING
THE KING JAMES BIBLE

By David W. Daniels, B.A., M.Div.

David Daniels earned his Bachelor of Arts at Hope University, Fullerton, California, in Linguistics and Bible, and his Master of Divinity degree at Fuller Theological Seminary, Pasadena, California, in General Theology, majoring in Linguistics. He also took the three year Summer Institute of Linguistics courses with Wycliffe Bible Translators.

Hope, Fuller and Wycliffe are far from being King James only schools. However, Daniels come to the conclusion that the King James Bible is the relible text far above all the Modern Versions in spight of his studies at these liberal schools.

David was the top Greek student in Bible college and went into Advanced Greek in seminary. He spent years as a post-graduate studying Nestles/UBS Greek texts, the co-called Majority Text (Hodges/Farstad), and ancient versions, etc.

He later spent years researching Roman Catholicism, Bible history and the versions issues coming to the sound KJV only conclusion. He came from a liberal Bible education to his KJV only stand through much personal study.

The Biblical Doctrine of Satan
And The Fall of Man

PATIENCE VS. PERSEVERANCE

What is the difference between PATIENCE and PERSEVERANCE? Stop for a minute before you continue reading and think about it. "Patience" implies a waiting upon God, hoping in Him, and trusting Him to fulfill His promises in His appointed time. The word "perseverance", on the other hand, causes us to focus on our own strength, efforts, and ability to overcome difficulties.

In the King James Bible, as well as the older Bible versions like Tyndale, the Geneva Bible, and even the Revised Version and the American Standard Version, the noun form of the Greek word hupomone is most often translated as "PATIENCE". In fact, this word is translated as "patience" some 31 times in the KJB New Testament, and never is rendered as "perseverance". There is a word translated as perseverance found in Ephesians 6:18 "praying always...and watching thereunto with all perseverance supplication for all saints", but this is an entirely different Greek word. Prayer is not easy and it does require personal effort; therefore the word "perseverance" is used rather than "patience".

The word hupomone is translated as patience 31 times in the KJB; the NKJV likewise translates this word as "patience" most of the time but 8 times has rendered this word as "perseverance". (See Romans 5:3,4; 8:25; 2 Cor. 12:12; 2 Tim. 3:10; James 5:11; 2 Peter 1:6 -twice). The NASB and NIV both have rendered it as "patience" only once, and all the other times they translate it by such terms as "perseverance, endurance, or steadfastness".

In Romans 8:25 we read: "But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with PATIENCE wait for it." The RV, ASV, Spanish (paciencia), Tyndale, Geneva, and even the NIV (only time in the NIV), all say we wait with patience. However both the NASB and the NKJV say: "we eagerly wait for it with PERSEVERANCE."

Notice how the emphasis has been totally changed in Romans 5:3-4. "And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh PATIENCE; And PATIENCE, EXPERIENCE; and EXPERIENCE, hope." In other words, as we go through trials in our Christian walk, we wait upon God to see us through our difficult times and we learn by the experience of His repeated delivering us in the past that we can trust Him to do so in the future as well. Both "patience" and "experience" are the readings found in the KJB, Tyndale, Geneva Bible, Young's, Darby, Bible in Basic English, Lamsa's translation of the Syriac Peshitta, Webster's 1833 translation, the KJV 21, Green's Modern KJV, and the Third Millenium Bible. The Spanish Antigua Versi n likewise reads " y la paciencia, experiencia", and the Italian Diodati has the same with: " e la pazienza sperienza".

But notice how the meaning has been altered in such versions as the NKJV, NIV, and NASB. In Romans 5:3-4 they unite in saying: "And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces PERSEVERANCE, and PERSEVERANCE, CHARACTER, and CHARACTER, hope." - NKJV. Instead of patiently waiting upon God and experiencing His deliverance, these new versions focus our minds on our "persevering" and on our "character"! The meaning is not at all the same.

Revelation 14 speaks of the coming judgment upon Babylon and tells us that if anyone worships the beast and receives his mark he will suffer the wrath of God. Then in verse 12 we read: "Here is the PATIENCE of the saints; here are they that KEEP the commandments of God and THE FAITH of Jesus." This is the reading found not only in the KJB, but also in the NKJV, RV, ASV and many others. We are to trustfully wait upon God and His time to judge the wicked, guard and hold onto His commandments and His truth, and not be drawn away by the false religion of antichrist. To KEEP something is to guard it, hold on to it and not let it go. THE FAITH is the doctrine concerning the Person and work of Jesus Christ. Compare Galatians 1:23 "they heard only, That he which persecuted us in times past now preacheth THE FAITH which once he destroyed". See also Jude 3 "ye should earnestly contend for THE FAITH which was once delivered unto the saints."

However the NASB reads here: "Here is the PERSEVERANCE of the saints who keep the commandments of God and THEIR faith IN Jesus." There are no words in any Greek text for "their" or "in". The NIV is worse yet with: "This calls for PATIENT ENDURANCE on the part of the saints who OBEY God's commands and REMAIN FAITHFUL TO Jesus." This is a paraphrase that changes the meaning of the verse and puts words in the sentence that are not found except in the mind of the translators.

Read again the KJB and then compare it to the NIV. How does your spirit react to each reading? Are you trusting in God Who cannot fail and holding onto His word, or are you relying on your own strength and trying to do the best you can hoping you will stay faithful and make it through?

I will close this section of the study with one more example of the word "patience". In Luke 21, Christ is telling us of the last days before His return. There will be a terrible time of tribulation and persecution. He says: "And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake. But there shall not an hair of your head perish. IN YOUR PATIENCE POSSESS YE YOUR SOULS." Luke 21:19. This is the reading of the KJB, NKJV, Tyndale, Geneva and many others. The word "patience" is also found in the earlier RV and the ASV. In the midst of all these trials, we can keep our sanity and remain confident that our God is coming to judge the wicked and to take us home.

However, again, many modern versions change the meaning of this verse. The NASB keeps on changing both its texts and translations from one edition to the next. In the 1960-1972 editions the NASB read: "by your PERSEVERANCE YOU WILL WIN your SOULS", but then in 1977, 1995 they changed this to read: "by your ENDURANCE YOU WILL GAIN your LIVES." The NIV does the same thing from edition to edition as the NASB. The NIV of 1977 says: "BY STANDING FIRM YOU WILL SAVE YOURSELVES", then the NIV of 1978 and 1984 says: "BY STANDING FIRM YOU WILL GAIN LIFE.". Now, I don't know about you, but I gained life by the substitutionary death and sacrifice of my blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ on the cross; certainly not by my standing firm or by my perseverance.

PREDESTINATION
Let God Speak For Himself

INTRODUCTION:

2 Samuel 14:14:  "For we must needs die, and are as water spilt on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again; neither doth God respect any person: yet doth he devise means, that his banished be not expelled from him."

Lamentations 3:33-36:   "For he [God] doth not afflict willingly nor grieve the children of men.  To crush under his feet all the prisoners of the earth,  to turn aside the right of a man before the face of the most High, to subvert a man in his cause, the Lord approveth not."

NONE SEEK AFTER GOD, BUT HE FIRST LOVED US:

Romans 3:10-11:  "As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:  There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God."

1 John 4:10, 19:  "Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. ... We love him, because he first loved us."

Romans 8:28:  "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose."

CHRIST'S SACRIFICE WAS ORDAINED BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD:

Acts 2:22-24:  "Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:  Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:  Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it."

Acts 4:25-28:  "[God] by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, Why did the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things?  The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord, and against his Christ.  Who by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, Why did the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things?  The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord, and against his Christ.  For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together,  For to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done."

1 Corinthians 2:6-8:  "Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought:   But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:  Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory."

1 Peter 1:18-21:  Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;  But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:  Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,  Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God."

CHOSEN TO SALVATION  ACCORDING TO THE FOREKNOWLEDGE OF GOD:

2 Thessalonians 2:13-14:  "But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:  Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ." (The words "chosen" and "elect" are synonymous of one another.)

1 Peter 1:2:  "Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied." (The words "elect" and "chosen" are synonymous one of another.)

PREDESTINATE UNTO THE ADOPTION OF CHILDREN TO BE CONFORMED TO THE IMAGE OF HIS SON:

Romans 8:29-30: "For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.  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."

Ephesians 1:3-11: "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:  According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:  Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.  In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;  Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;  Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:  That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:  In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:  That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. 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,  Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory."

THE WORD MIXED WITH FAITH:

Hebrews 4:2-7:  "For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the Word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.  For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.  For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.  And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.  Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:  Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts." (cf. John 1:11-13; Ps 95:7-11; Isa 57:1-2)

Hebrews 11:6:  "But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him."

KNOWN UNTO GOD ARE ALL HIS WORKS FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE WORLD:

Hebrews 9:24-28:  "For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:  Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others;  For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.  And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:  So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation."

Matthew 25:32-34, 41: And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:  And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.  Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. ... Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels."

Revelation 13:8:  "And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him [Antichrist], whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world."

Revelation 17:8:  "The beast [Antichrist] that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is."

Psalm 69:25-28:  "Let their habitation be desolate; and let none dwell in their tents. For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten; and they talk to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded. Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and let them not come into thy righteousness. Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous."

Romans 4:3:  "For what saith the Scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness."

Revelation 3:5:  "He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels."

1 John 5:4-5:  "For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.  Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?"

CONCLUSION:

Ezekiel 33:11:  "Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?" (cf. Ezek 18:23, 32)

2 Peter 3:9:  "The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance."

Isaiah 53:5:  "All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all."

1 Timothy 2:3-6:  "For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;  who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.  For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;  who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time."

1 John 2:2: "And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world."

Titus 3:11-14:  "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."

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."

2 Corinthians 5:18-21:  "And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;  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.  Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God.  For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him."

John 1:29, 4:42:  "... Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. ... Now we believe, ... for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world."

Revelation 12:9:  "And the great dragon ..., that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, ... deceiveth the whole world ..."

1 John 4:14, 5:19:  "And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. ... And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness."

THE DEPARTURE

"Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed." (1 Corinthians 15:51-52)

"For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words." (1 Thessalonians 4:14-18)

"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 2:11-14)

Money

THE LOVE OF MONEY


INTRODUCTION

"For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out." (1 Timothy 6:7)."

"... Naked came I out of my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD." (Job 1:21)


THE RICH LOST MAN:

"... The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully: And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits? And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods. And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry. But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided? So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God." (Luke 12:16-21)

"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. Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth. Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter. Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you.." (James 5:1-6)

"They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumblingblock of their iniquity." (Ezekiel 7:19)

"Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased; For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall not descend after him." (Psalm 49:16-17)


THE RIGHTEOUS MAN:

"Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain. Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh. Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door." (James 5:7-9)

"And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on. The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment. Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls? And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit? If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest? Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith? And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind. For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things. But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you." (Luke 12:22-31)


CONCLUSION:

"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 6:10)

Islam

Six Falsehoods of Islam


Islam makes 6 false claims for itself. The claims are Orthodox Islam. They are listed here
:

1.  The Koran is Allah’s infallible word replacing the Bible, which is now corrupted and is unreliable.

2.  Jesus is a Muslim Prophet. He is not God and not the Savior.

3.  Allah is the only god there is: there is no Trinity (God the Father, The Holy Spirit and The Son).

4.  The Temple Mount and Jerusalem is the property of Allah, not the Jews.

5.  Muhammad is Allah’s final and perfect Prophet.

6.  Islam is a religion of peace, justice, love and perfection.

Koran vs God's Word

The Koran & Islam vs. The Christ of the Bible
A letter to a Sunni Muslim



Greetings,

Thank you for your post to my wall.

No, it is not my purpose to offend, and I am not portraying hate as you stated. However, as a general rule God's Truth does offend, not only Muslims, but all people. My purpose is to get people to think and to receive the Truth of God's holy Word.

I have visited Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Israel, and yes I have studied the Koran. Therefore, according to your standards, I am able to have an opinion on this issue.

More importantly, after knowing Christ as my Saviour for over 30, and for over 20 years as a preacher of "the Gospel of Jesus Christ" (the death, burial and resurrection of the sinless Son of God for our sins), not Catholicism, or other false forms of Christianity, I am well equipped to speak on this subject.

Concerning peace, I serve "the Prince of Peace" (Isaiah 9:6). It is my prayer for you that Jesus Christ, "the Lord of peace Himself give you peace" (2 Thessalonians 3:16). Without Him there is no real and lasting peace for anyone.

The Lord Jesus loves all people, but He hates sin, my friend! Jesus' death on the cross is the only "propitiation" or appeasement for sin, and it was sufficient to save all people. God's holy Word says:

"... And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: And He is the propitiation for our [believers] sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world [unbelievers]." (1 John 2:1-2)

Even though it is sufficient to save all, this salvation must be freely received by faith by each individual. God's Word says:

"For by GRACE are ye saved through FAITH; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." (Ephesians 2:8-9)

"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." (Romans 3:25-26)

"Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by THE WORD OF GOD, which liveth and abideth for ever. For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: But THE WORD OF THE LORD ENDURETH FOR EVER. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you." (1 Peter 1:23-25)

"So then FAITH cometh by hearing, and hearing by THE WORD OF GOD." (Romans 10:17)

"For ever, O LORD, Thy WORD is settled in heaven." (Psalm 119:89)

"For there are three that bear RECORD in heaven, the Father, the Word [Christ], and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. ... If we receive the witness of men, the WITNESS of God is greater: for this is the WITNESS of God which he hath testified of his Son. He that believeth on the Son of God hath the WITNESS in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the RECORD that God gave of his Son. And this is the RECORD, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life." (1 John 5:7, 9-12)

I watched the news after 9/11 of Muslims all over the world joyously cheering that many had been murdered in NY. It is not I that spreads hate. The greatest religious spreader of hatred of this age is the religion of Islam. Rejoicing over murder is evil, and this alone shows the darkness and evil in the hearts of Muslims. All those people that died that day were sinners, just as you and I and all people are. There is only one exception, one man that never sinned, the Lord Jesus Christ. He IS the sinless Son of God. Koranic and Muslim objections to this fact will never change this fact. God's holy Word says:

"For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, THE JUST FOR THE UNJUST, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit." (1 Peter 3:18)

"WHO DID NO SIN, neither was guile found in His mouth." (1 Peter 2:22)

"And ye know that He was manifested to take away our sins; and IN HIM IS NO SIN." (1 John 3:5)

"For He [the Father] hath made Him [Jesus] to be sin for us, WHO KNEW NO SIN; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him." (2 Corinthians 5:21)

"So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time WITHOUT SIN unto salvation." (Hebrews 9:28)

"For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points TEMPTED LIKE AS WE ARE, YET WITHOUT SIN. ... For such an high priest became us, who is HOLY, HARMLESS, UNDEFILED, SEPARATE FROM SINNERS, and made higher than the heavens." (Hebrews 4:15, 7:26)

Jesus is without sin, holy and undefiled. He knew no sin and there was no sin in Him. Yes, Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, is the only just man who ever lived, and deceit was never in Him. He is the only one who is both willing and able to save fallen mankind!

My greatest desire is to proclaim God's Truth. You have most likely never studied the Word of God with an open mind and heart, because you have been brainwashed all your life. Allow me to advise you to obey the Word of God and trust Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour.

My Lord Jesus Christ is God, He did come to die, He did raise from the dead, and He is coming again to judge and punish ALL Christ rejectors! He can forgive all sin, but one. That is rejecting Him, because He is the only way of salvation.

Jesus is God and He is willing and able to forgive sin:

"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. In him was life; and the life was the LIGHT of men. ... 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. ... He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of THE ONLY BEGOTTEN OF GOD. And this is the condemnation, that LIGHT is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than LIGHT, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth THE LIGHT, neither cometh to THE LIGHT, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to THE LIGHT, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God." (John 1:1-4, 14, 3:18-21)

"God, ... 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; who being THE BRIGHTNESS OF HIS GLORY, AND THE EXPRESS IMAGE OF HIS PERSON, and upholding all things by the Word of his power, when He had BY HIMSELF PURGED OUR SINS, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high." (Hebrews 1:1-3)

"Christ Jesus..., being IN THE FORM OF GOD, thought it not robbery to be EQUAL WITH GOD: But made Himself of no reputation, and took upon Him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, HE HUMBLED HIMSELF, AND BECAME OBEDIENT UNTO DEATH, EVEN THE DEATH OF THE CROSS." (Philippians 2:5-8)

"For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. Wherefore when He [Christ] cometh into the world, He saith, Sacrifice and offering Thou wouldest not, but a body hast Thou prepared Me: In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin Thou hast had no pleasure. Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of Me,) to do Thy will, O God. Above when He said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin Thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law; Then said He, Lo, I come to do Thy will, O God. He taketh away the First [Testament], that he may establish the Second. By the which will WE ARE SANCTIFIED THROUGH THE OFFERING OF THE BODY OF JESUS CHRIST ONCE FOR ALL." (Hebrews 10:4-10)

"... Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world." (John 1:29)

"Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you, who by Him do believe in God, that raised Him up from the dead, and gave Him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God." (1 Peter 1:18-21)

"... God our Saviour ... will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the Truth. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time." (1 Timothy 2:3-6)

"The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us--ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to REPENTANCE." (2 Peter 3:9)

"Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and RECEIVE with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls." (James 1:21)

"He came unto his own, and his own received him not. 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." (John 1:11-13)

"He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him." (John 3:36)

"I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. ... I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death." (Revelation 1:8, 18) "And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him." (Luke 12:4-5)

I hope this is a help to you. I stand ready to answer any questions you might have.

And please remember this: Jesus Christ is not a religion. The Lord is rather a person, the Almighty.

May God open your eyes and ears is my prayer,

Bible in the Sky

THE STARS & THE MAZZAROTH


Introduction:

Genesis 1:1, 14-18: "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. ... 14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: 15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. 16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. 17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, 18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good."

Psalm 19:1-6: "The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. 2 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. 3 There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. 4 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun, 5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race. 6 His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof."

“The following is the account of Tammuz [who was supposedly the reincarnation of Nimrod], given by the celebrated Maimonides, deeply read in all the learning of the Chaldeans: ‘When the false prophet named Thammuz preached to a certain king [believed to be Noah’s son, Shem] that he should worship the seven stars and the twelve signs of the Zodiac, that king ordered him to be put to a terrible death …’” [1] Shem had come from the other side of the Great Flood with his father and six other family members. He knew the true meaning of the seven stars, and the Zodiac. Shem knew they were not to be worshiped!

In the Bible the Mazzaroth (Job 38:32) is the 12 signs of the Zodiac and their 36 associated constellations, and the name of "the seven stars" in the Bible is the Pleiades (Job 9:9, 38:31).


Origin of The Zodiac:

“A hundred years ago, a number of French skeptics, gathered together a collection of all the numerous ancient mythologies of various peoples of the world, and demonstrated that these showed a remarkable and astounding correspondence to the teachings concerning Christ and his salvation. They said that since these mythologies - which often involve interpretations of the constellations of the zodiac - very clearly long antedate the [Bible] and the coming of Christ into the world, it was obvious to them Christianity was … borrow[ed] from pagan mythology, dressed up in Hebrew dress and pawned off on a credulous world. … [However] none of the skeptics were able to tell whence came these ancient mythologies, and particularly this understanding of the zodiac - constellations of the sky. Where did these signs come from? These scholars discovered that their antiquity cannot be ascertained; no matter how far back we go, they are always still there! ... According to Arabic tradition, the signs came from Seth; and [Enos]. This tradition is interesting since it links these signs to the grandson of Adam and says that [Enos] and his father Seth (both men of faith) were the founders of this ancient understanding of the heavens. … Therefore, from the very beginning, God has given a story of salvation from which have come most of the ancient mythologies and ancient traditions. The signs [of the zodiac] are describing the salvation that would be wrought by Christ, and was given by God to Adam in the Garden of Eden.” [2] “The Hebrews, the Aztecs, the Babylonians, the Norsemen, the Egyptians, [the Romans, the Hindus, the Persians], and the Chinese all recognize the same constellation (with essentially the same meanings) and the same names of the stars (also with the same meanings). Underneath the pile of myth, corruption, and idolatry emerges the same basic pattern. … [The] truth is [that] … the heathen religions are a perversion of the original, which came from God in a pure form.” [3]

In the very first chapter of the Bible “God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for sings, and for seasons, and for days, and years: And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.” (Genesis 1:14-15)

“The word Mazzaroth [Job 38:32] … means The Separated, The Divided, or The Appointed, and it refers to the allotted spaces given to the twelve signs in the circle of the zodiac.” [4] Not only did God give the twelve Mazzaroth signs, but He also named them along with all the stars individually (Psalm 147:4; Isaiah 40:26). The names that God assigned them gave the clear Gospel message in the sky. Here are the names and meanings of some of the brightest stars, and of the twelve signs that mark the divisions of the year:

The names of some of the brightest stars with their meanings:

* Sirius - The Prince (Isaiah 9:6) - The brightest star

The 12 signs of the mazzaroth (Zodiac) with their meanings, and the true message they convey:

Virgo: The Seed of the Woman. Speaks of the virgin birth of “the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty” (Genesis 3:15; Isaiah 7:14; Luke 1:26-35; Matthew 1:18-25; Revelation 1:8). (23 August – 23 September)

The (22 July – 23 August )


Biblical Astronomy in The Great Pyramid:

Astronomy was originally the science of interpreting God’s story (His story) in the heavenly bodies (sun, moon, planets, comets stars, and other bodies). In the beginning God created a perfect universe and earth. Adam was perfect physically and mentally. His brain was far more superior to the most advanced supercomputer. The Bible says: “God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven … and let them be for signs …” (Genesis 1:14). The Lord having created all the heavenly bodies also set them in motion and gave them their names for prophetic revelation (Job 38:31-33; Psalm 8:3-4, 19:1-6, 119:89, 147:4; Isaiah 40:26). Adam was in perfect fellowship with God before his fall into sin, and it stands to reason that it was when they were in full communion that God taught Adam the names and locations of all the heavenly bodies. After Adam's fall he then taught his sons, and the true science of astronomy was born. The knowledge was passed from Adam to Seth to Enos, and so on to Noah and his sons. The Jewish historian, Joesphus (37-100 A.D.), wrote that “'Seth, when he was brought up, and came of those years which he could discern what was good, became a virtuous man; and … did leave children behind who imitated his virtues. ... They also were the inventors of the particular sort of wisdom which is concerned with the heavenly bodies, and their order. And that their inventions might not be lost before they were sufficiently known, upon Adam’s prediction that the world was to be destroyed ..., they made [a pillar] … of stone: They inscribed their discoveries on [it that] ... the pillar of stone might remain, and exhibit those discoveries to mankind ... Now this remains in the land of Siriad to this day.’ In the time of Josephus the land of Siriad was part of Egypt in which the false religion of Sirius was practiced, and there can be little doubt that Josephus was referring to the Great Pyramid, since it reflects astronomical knowledge beyond even that of today.” [5] “The Great Pyramid of Cheops … [is likely] the oldest building on Earth. In terms of its sheer mass, it may be the largest single building in the world. ... [It is] also the most perfect building on the planet.” [6] It has been said that “no construction company in the world today could erect such a building.” [7]

“The Great pyramid ... embodies in its construction such a wonderful knowledge of mathematics, astronomy, and Scriptural information as to clearly show that the architect and builder was especially endowed with Divine wisdom.” [8] “[M]ost historians and archaeologists believe that it was built during the reign of the Egyptian king Cheops …’ [but] no one really knows just who Cheops was and when he lived.” [9] But we can be assured that it was one of Adam’s offspring, perhaps Methuselah (Genesis 5:21-27), the son of Enoch (Genesis 5:18-24; Hebrews 11:5; Jude 14-15), who had been instructed by them concerning God’s message in the sky. The construction period of the Egyptian pyramids, of which Cheops is the oldest, has been estimated to have been from 2614 - 2502 B.C. [10] This was more than 150 years before the generally accepted date of the Great Flood in about 2350 B.C. and their construction may be much earlier than that. There are pyramids and other ancient megalithic structures all over the world that are similar mathematically and astronomically to Cheops, but never do they match it in complexity.

“The evidence of archaeology, folklore, and tradition - together with the astronomical alignments and dating - has established the Eastern origin of the builders of Stonehenge. The evidence has shown that the two astronomical ideas of the British megalithic builders had been formulated in ancient Egypt … [T]he Stonehenge Circle is a constructional expression of the geometrical relations holding between the ancient Egyptian square and the linear systems of measure … [T]he outer ring of stones is the exact area of an important Egyptian unit of measure.” [11]


The Corruption of Astronomy Into Astrology:

“All over Eurasia and America, astronomers and perhistorians have identified stone constructions as observatories and megalithic calendars. If this is true, it is almost certain that astronomy [or astrology] was used within the frame of religious and ceremonial interest.” [12] The fact is that all false religions originated with the satanic perversion of God’s astronomical message in the heavens. The true study of the stars was corrupted into false and occult astrology. This corruption seems to have begun even before the Flood because the Egyptian pyramids as well as Stonehenge ware completed before 2500 B.C., which was about 150 years before the Flood. All these ancient structures, both pre-flood and post-flood including the Tower of Babel, with the one exception of the Great Pyramid, are corruptions of God’s message in the stars. The Great Pyramid is extremely impressive in the technical aspects of its construction, in its shear size, in that it is not permeated with idolatry, as the other pyramids are

The single most impressive fact about the Great Pyramid is that in the upper chamber, the King’s Chamber, there is the single piece of furniture in all the Pyramid: a broken, lidless, and empty stone coffin. Its message is clear: the saved pre-flood sons of Adam had prior knowledge of the resurrection of “the seed of the women,” who was “Toliman” (Isaiah 44:6: “… I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God", cf. Revelation 1:8, 22:13). Belief in the death, burial, and resurrection of God incarnate on an individual and personal basis for salvation from sin and hell is the only saving faith there has ever been. The demonic corruption of the fact of the resurrection of Christ into reincarnation and other false hopes of an afterlife by way of astrology is the foundation of all false religion!!! The Word of God says: “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall 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.” (Romans 10:9-10). From the prehistoric demonic religion of astrology have come all the false religions of reincarnation: Hinduism (2500 B.C.), Zoroastrianism (1500 B.C.), Taoism (500 B.C.), the New Age Movement and others.

The Word of God Condemns Astrology:

“The first Bible reference to astrology is … the story of the building of the tower of Babel (Genesis 11:1-9). Archaeologists have now discovered that this structure and similar towers were … erected to survey the heavens. Some [of these towers] have been unearthed to give evidence of zodiac signs actually inscribed on the circumference at the top. The Bible says the purpose of the tower of Babel was to ‘reach unto heaven.’ This Biblical metaphor … [leaves] little doubt [that] its … purpose was to survey the stars for astrological purposes.” [13] Because the builders of the tower of Babel sought spiritual and prophetic knowledge through unauthorized demonic means, God confounded their language, “and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.” (Genesis 11:9)

Astrology is merely a form of occult fortune telling. The Word of God commands: “There shall not be found among you any one … that uses divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD ...” (Deuteronomy 18:10-12) “Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of the heaven, for the heathen are dismayed at them. For the customs of the people are vain ... Thus shall ye say unto them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, even they shall perish from the earth, and from under these heavens.” (Jeremiah 10:2, 3, 11; cf. 1 Corinthians 8:5-6)

Even if an astrologer, like Nostradamus (1503-1566), gives seemingly accurate prophecies we are not to believe them, because astrology is forbidden by God. Astrology can not help or save anyone. God mockingly says to those who use it: “Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from these things that shall come upon thee. Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame ...” (Isaiah 47:14)

Accurate predictions are made about 6% of the time using astrology. “Many people say that astrology is humbug. But even humbug can have suggestive power. This suggestive power influences the behavior and decisions of superstitious people to their disadvantage. ... [It] has been responsible for a number of suicides and murders.” [14]

At the time of the building of the tower of Babel, and afterwards astrology was not merely hit and miss fortune telling; in ancient times it included devil worship. When good king Josiah of Judah came to the throne “he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD,” and when he “found the Book of the Law in the House of the LORD” and “heard the words of the Book” he knew that his kingdom was sinning greatly by worshiping “other gods” (2 Kings 22:1, 2, 8, 11, 17). King Josiah thus decided to destroy idolatry and demon worship form Judah. “And he put down the idolatrous priests, whom the kings of Judah had ordained to burn ... incense unto Baal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the planets, and to the host of heaven.” (2 Kings 23:5) King Josiah put an end to the worship of the false gods (devils) called: Baal, Molech, Ashtoreth, Chemosh, Milcom, and others (2 Kings 23:4-13). “Moreover, the workers with familiar spirits, and the wizards, and the images, and the idols, and all the abominations that were spied in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, did Josiah put away, that he might perform the words of the Law ... And like unto him was there no king ... that turned to the Lord with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might ...” (2 Kings 23:24-25) Thus Josiah, because he turned to Christ and the Word of God, was able to see the evil of astrology and put it, and the worship of false gods down. Should you do any less? Josiah knew from “the Book of the Law” that he was to look to Christ, and not to “the host of heaven,” the sun, moon, and stars for guidance (Deuteronomy 4:14-19, 13:1-5, 17:2-7, 18:9-15). God forbids it!
