God's Word never contradicts itself.
True, and it is YOU who contradicts yourself.
Whenever a doctrine contradicts Scripture it is an immediate Red Flag/Alert to us to go back and check, read, pray, listen.
All followers of Christ must adhere to what God has Said on these subjects.
If we deviate even slightly it can and will take us off-course from the Truth.
We shall see...
Just one little Scripture of Truth will shine LIGHT and expose a falsehood such 1 Peter 5:8
Be sober-minded and alert. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.
1 Peter 5:8 is spoken to the Elect in Christ only as is Matthew ch24
Matthew 24
And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you. 5For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. 6And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. 8All these are the beginning of sorrows.
9“Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake. 10And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another. 11Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. 12And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. 13But he who endures to the end shall be saved.
14And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.
In, Matthew 24:3-35, Christ was prophesied about the New Testament congregation during the little season prior to the Second Coming. It will be a time when Satan is loosened from bottomless pit prowls around like a roaring lion to seek someone to devour through the false prophets and christs! They are the ones who rise and causes the iniquity to abounds. He will not deceive the Elect, only those people of the congregation who have not yet sealed by God, go read Revelation 9 carefully on whom God only allow the armies of Satan to attack! And also please check with the context:
Matthew 24:4-5
- "And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
- For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many."
Numbers 15:39
- "And it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of the LORD, and do them; and that ye seek not after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use to go a whoring:"
Yes, the Lord knows our heart, and our forgetfulness, and our penchant to go a whoring after other gods. Nothing new there in God's congregation. The fact is, most false teachers preaching a feelings, prosperity or emotional gospel "believe" they are correct. But belief in itself doesn't prove anything. having faith doesn't prove anything. It is only "Saving faith or Saving belief" that matters. And that is the faith of Christ unto belief. For even the lunatics who are blowing themselves up crying to their god have a strong "belief," but what good is that belief if it is not borne of the Spirit of God? It is a dead faith without the work of Christ (faith without works is dead). His Spirit of life most certainly does not teach emotionalism, hysterical babbling tongues, pseudo healing or communion by "feelings." Sure, there have always been enchanters (Exodus 7:20-23) and egotists that mimic the true miracles of God. True miracles that were supernatural phenomenon, God's figures representing the many aspects of salvation, which these Charlatans today are generally not even aware of. Their whole reasoning for miracles is twisted. But it suits their god and their gospel perfectly. For a pseudo religion needs a pseudo Christ to serve.
Mark 13:22-24
- "For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.
- But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.
- But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,"
So much for red flags eh?
