TRUTH about DOCTRINE

 

1 Timothy 1:8

King James Version

8 But we know that the law is good, 

if a man use it lawfully;

What doctrine comes from GOD?

What is sound doctrine?

What is doctrine for?

What is the difference between GOD's doctrine versus man's laws?

SPIRIT led me to these powerful verses that explain everything.

GOD's doctrine is holy.

1 Timothy 6:1

King James Version

6 Let as many servants as are under the yoke 

count their own masters worthy of all honour, 

that the name of God and his doctrine 

be not blasphemed.

It just follows GOD's doctrine is on "godliness".

1 Timothy 6:3

King James Version

3 If any man teach otherwise, 

and consent not to wholesome words, 

even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, 

and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;

GOD is the Source of sound doctrine:

2 Timothy 3:16

King James Version

16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, 

and is profitable for doctrine, 

for reproof, 

for correction, 

for instruction in righteousness:

This is the purpose of GOD's doctrine:

2 Timothy 3:17

King James Version

17 That the man of God may be perfect, 

thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

GOD's doctrine was designed for sinners.

I've read many similar verses, but these two are really spot on.

My heart leapt at its precision:

1 Timothy 1:9-10

King James Version

9 Knowing this, 

that the law is not made for a righteous man, 

but for the lawless and disobedient, 

for the ungodly and for sinners, 

for unholy and profane, 

for murderers of fathers 

and murderers of mothers, 

for manslayers,

10 For whoremongers, 

for them that defile themselves with mankind, 

for menstealers, 

for liars, 

for perjured persons, 

and if there be any other thing 

that is contrary to sound doctrine;

That's why JESUS came down from heaven.

To save us sinners.

Luke 19:10

King James Version

10 For the Son of man is come 

to seek and to save 

that which was lost.

John 6:37-39

King James Version

37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; 

and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.

38 For I came down from heaven, 

not to do mine own will, 

but the will of him that sent me.

39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, 

that of all which he hath given me 

I should lose nothing, 

but should raise it up again 

at the last day.

Those who reject GOD have no idea how much He loves us.

He sent His only begotten Son.

That we may have eternal life.

John 3:16

King James Version

16 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.

Only the true born again can really understand GOD's doctrine.

He lives for it.

SPIRIT teaches him about it.

How to IDENTIFY cults

 

JESUS warns:

Matthew 15:14

King James Version

14 Let them alone: 

they be blind leaders of the blind. 

And if the blind lead the blind, 

both shall fall into the ditch.

Surely, you've heard of cults.

How members are asked to follow blindly.

How perversion goes on in the organizations.

How people surrender their will to the "master".

How its leaders enjoy fame, fortune, and followership.

How leaders love to be worshiped.

How members give up their lives when their "master" says so.

How parents can't even recognize their own child anymore.

It need not be a religious cult, to be a cult.

The world does have terms like "cult-following".

Or "cult-like status".

Such words are bandied about carelessly.

In art, business, culture, tech, and entertainment.

Just so you know, all that is idolatry.

Yesterday, SPIRIT called my attention to a cult-like organization.

At least, after doing some research, it felt like one to me.

Started in the early 90s from the east.

Propagated in the west.

Massive tri-media exposure.

Seamless operation.

And people have bought into it.

On the pretext you'll be hale, happy, and healthy.

Seemed harmless, but was it, really?

Part of me wanted to explore it more.

To look deeper into the links.

But clearly, it was cult-like.

Do I talk more about cults?

Or shall I tell you about GOD's laws instead?

The latter intent won out.

As born again, I live by Scripture.

I am here to write, worship, and warn.

Here's how you can gauge if you have unknowingly joined a cult.

It defies the LORD's commands:

Exodus 20:2-4

King James Version

2 I am the Lord thy God, 

which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, 

out of the house of bondage.

3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, 

or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, 

or that is in the earth beneath, 

or that is in the water under the earth.

Mark 10:18

King James Version

18 And Jesus said unto him, 

Why callest thou me good? 

there is none good but one, 

that is, God.

John 14:6

King James Version

6 Jesus saith unto him, 

I am the way, the truth, and the life: 

no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Matthew 23:8

King James Version

8 But be not ye called Rabbi: 

for one is your Master, even Christ;

 and all ye are brethren.

Matthew 23:10

King James Version

10 Neither be ye called masters: 

for one is your Master, even Christ.

Matthew 23:11

King James Version

11 But he that is greatest among you 

shall be your servant.

And from apostle Luke:

Acts 4:12

King James Version

12 Neither is there salvation in any other: 

for there is none other name under heaven 

given among men, whereby we must be saved.

JESUS never called attention to Himself.

His ministry was ALWAYS for the GLORY of GOD.

John 17:4

King James Version

4 I have glorified thee on the earth: 

I have finished the work 

which thou gavest me to do.

John 17:6

King James Version

6 I have manifested thy name unto the men 

which thou gavest me out of the world: 

thine they were, and thou gavest them me; 

and they have kept thy word.

John 17:7-8

King James Version

7 Now they have known that all things 

whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee.

8 For I have given unto them 

the words which thou gavest me; 

and they have received them, 

and have known surely that I came out from thee, 

and they have believed that thou didst send me.

That, in sharp contrast to the world's cults.

Which always call attention to self, and their leaders.

With leaders getting rich, and famous, through you.

JESUS leads us to eternal life.

He leads us back to GOD.

He leads us to salvation.

Cults lead us to death, and destruction.

Therein are the marked differences.

The world is full of pits, and falls.

Only through Scripture, can you know what's right.

Only through SPIRIT, can you be taught about JESUS.

Only through JESUS, can we be saved.

Only by being born again, can we know all these.

CHAMPIONING the CAUSE of the CHILD

 

The LORD JESUS said:

Matthew 5:8

King James Version

8 Blessed are the pure in heart: 

for they shall see God.

What makes a child "normal"?

Well, if allowed to, children have these traits:

They're naturally happy.

Playful.

Resilient.

Buoyant.

Creative.

Innocent.

Trusting.

Forever hungry.

Most importantly?

They have no grand sense of importance.

They have no thoughts of murder.

They have no thoughts of revenge.

They only have thoughts of play.

Or recess.

Where they can run with their classmates.

Where they can eat, and roam free.

It's a weird kid who thinks of world domination.

Or of gender modification.

What has made a child think that way?

I did say, "if allowed to", children grow up normally.

But the world doesn't allow kids to be kids.

Look to the world now.

It's gone demonic.

Rather, it's always been.

But now, it's on full rampage.

It's full of hatred for the kid.

Kids are the current tools to throw back at GOD.

All because GOD loves them so.

Every means is being used to destroy our children.

We were all once kids.

Along the way, we lose this love, joy, peace, and innocence.

The very traits of a natural, normal child.

Sadly, many were never allowed a normal childhood.

Many come from dysfunctional families.

Many come from dysfunctional societies.

Many come from wounded parents.

Who also came from wounded parents.

You realize the propagation of such "wounds".

It never gets healed, until the MAGNIFICENT Healer was sent:

Luke 5:31-32

King James Version

31 And Jesus answering said unto them, 

They that are whole need not a physician; 

but they that are sick.

32 I came not to call the righteous, 

but sinners to repentance.

The world is definitely abnormal.

It belongs to the enemy of CHRIST.

I just realized I wrote about him four years ago.

Just as I shared you that link.

That's how long I've been warning you about him.

We've looked into his devices.

He corrupts our thinking.

He corrupts our bodies.

He captures our souls.

But something can save us.

Being born again teaches us to become new.

2 Corinthians 5:17

King James Version

17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, 

he is a new creature: 

old things are passed away; 

behold, 

all things are become new.

All because born agains are taught by the SPIRIT of GOD.

John 3:3-7

King James Version

3 Jesus answered and said unto him, 

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, 

Except a man be born again, 

he cannot see the kingdom of God.

4 Nicodemus saith unto him, 

How can a man be born when he is old? 

can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, 

and be born?

5 Jesus answered, 

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, 

Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, 

he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; 

and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, 

Ye must be born again.

If you're born again, you know the POWER of SPIRIT.

You sure don't mess around with SPIRIT.

Oh boy, you don't.

Ever heard of the "unforgivable sin"?

All my blogs are from SPIRIT.

Night and day, we write.

He makes me understand verses.

Purely, perfectly, and precisely.

He teaches me to write these warnings.

As workman, I'm here to protect children.

We protect the little ones, the voiceless ones, the defenseless ones.

Woe to anyone who doesn't.

JESUS makes sure of that.

Matthew 18:4-7

King James Version

4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself 

as this little child, 

the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

5 And whoso shall receive 

one such little child in my name receiveth me.

6 But whoso shall offend 

one of these little ones which believe in me, 

it were better for him 

that a millstone were hanged about his neck, 

and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

7 Woe unto the world because of offences! 

for it must needs be that offences come; 

but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!

Wake up, dear brothers and sisters!

Let us protect the little ones.

Let us also remember the forgotten child.

Which lives in each one of us.

Let that "little one" live!

As JESUS would want us to.

P.S. 

I woke up really early this morning.

With the idea to write something about "humility". 

But SPIRIT had other ideas.

So, He let me weave the article.

First, through verses.

And ended championing the CAUSE of the CHILD.

That's how SPIRIT works with a born again.

It's always a step at a time.

The goal is always towards love for GOD, JESUS, and you.

Especially the little children.

Making sure their purity and innocence are preserved.

That's the battlecry for us warriors for CHRIST.

BECAUSE of UNBELIEF

 

Matthew 13:57

King James Version

57 And they were offended in him. 

But Jesus said unto them, 

A prophet is not without honour, 

save in his own country, 

and in his own house.

JESUS came to the world to save us from our sins.

He conquered death, and the devil.

But many people don't believe in Him.

They don't believe He is the SON of GOD.

What happens when they don't?

Here's what Scripture says:

Matthew 13:58

King James Version

58 And he did not many mighty works there 

because of their unbelief.

Mark 16:16

King James Version

16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; 

but he that believeth not shall be damned.

John 3:16

King James Version

16 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.

John 3:18-19

King James Version

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.

19 And this is the condemnation, 

that light is come into the world, 

and men loved darkness rather than light, 

because their deeds were evil.

John 8:24

King James Version

24 I said therefore unto you, 

that ye shall die in your sins: 

for if ye believe not that I am he, 

ye shall die in your sins.

2 Thessalonians 2:10-12

King James Version

10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness 

in them that perish; 

because they received not the love of the truth, 

that they might be saved.

11 And for this cause 

God shall send them strong delusion, 

that they should believe a lie:

12 That they all might be damned 

who believed not the truth, 

but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

James 1:6-8

King James Version

6 But let him ask in faith, 

nothing wavering. 

For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea 

driven with the wind and tossed.

7 For let not that man think 

that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.

8 A double minded man is unstable 

in all his ways.

Revelation 21:8

King James Version

8 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.

Even the LORD's disciples had a problem with unbelief.

Matthew 17:14-21

King James Version

14 And when they were come to the multitude, 

there came to him a certain man, 

kneeling down to him, and saying,

15 Lord, 

have mercy on my son: 

for he is lunatick, 

and sore vexed: 

for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, 

and oft into the water.

16 And I brought him to thy disciples, 

and they could not cure him.

17 Then Jesus answered and said, 

O faithless and perverse generation, 

how long shall I be with you? 

how long shall I suffer you? 

bring him hither to me.

18 And Jesus rebuked the devil; 

and he departed out of him: 

and the child was cured from that very hour.

19 Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, 

and said, 

Why could not we cast him out?

20 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.

21 Howbeit this kind goeth not out 

but by prayer and fasting.

We are not judged for our unbelief.

But something else will.

JESUS tells us so.

John 12:47-50

King James Version

47 And if any man hear my words, 

and believe not, 

I judge him not: 

for I came not to judge the world, 

but to save the world.

48 He that rejecteth me, 

and receiveth not my words, 

hath one that judgeth him: 

the word that I have spoken, 

the same shall judge him in the last day.

49 For I have not spoken of myself; 

but the Father which sent me, 

he gave me a commandment, 

what I should say, 

and what I should speak.

50 And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: 

whatsoever I speak therefore, 

even as the Father said unto me, 

so I speak.

ALTAR in REVELATION

 

Hebrews 13:9-10

King James Version

9 Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. 

For it is a good thing that the heart be established 

with grace; 

not with meats, 

that have been occupied therein.

10 We have an altar, 

whereof they have no right to eat 

which serve the tabernacle.

What does the Bible say about GOD's "altar"?

As first article for a perceived series of articles, the HOLY SPIRIT led me to these Book of Revelation verses.

Each set of verses is worthy of meditation, and further study.

Revelation 6:9-10

King James Version

9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, 

I saw under the altar the souls of them 

that were slain for the word of God, 

and for the testimony which they held:

10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, 

How long, O Lord, holy and true, 

dost thou not judge and avenge our blood 

on them that dwell on the earth?

Revelation 8:1-6

King James Version

8 And when he had opened the seventh seal, 

there was silence in heaven 

about the space of half an hour.

2 And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; 

and to them were given seven trumpets.

3 And another angel came and stood at the altar, 

having a golden censer; 

and there was given unto him much incense, 

that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints 

upon the golden altar which was before the throne.

4 And the smoke of the incense, 

which came with the prayers of the saints, 

ascended up before God out of the angel's hand.

5 And the angel took the censer, 

and filled it with fire of the altar,

and cast it into the earth: 

and there were voices, and thunderings, 

and lightnings, and an earthquake.

6 And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets 

prepared themselves to sound.

Revelation 9:13-15

King James Version

13 And the sixth angel sounded, 

and I heard a voice 

from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,

14 Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, 

Loose the four angels which are bound 

in the great river Euphrates.

15 And the four angels were loosed, 

which were prepared for an hour, and a day, 

and a month, and a year, 

for to slay the third part of men.

Revelation 11:1-4

King James Version

11 And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: 

and the angel stood, saying, 

Rise, and measure the temple of God, 

and the altar, 

and them that worship therein.

2 But the court which is without the temple leave out, 

and measure it not; 

for it is given unto the Gentiles: 

and the holy city shall they tread under foot 

forty and two months.

3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, 

and they shall prophesy 

a thousand two hundred and threescore days, 

clothed in sackcloth.

4 These are the two olive trees, 

and the two candlesticks standing 

before the God of the earth.

Revelation 14:18-20

King James Version

18 And another angel came out from the altar, 

which had power over fire; 

and cried with a loud cry

to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, 

Thrust in thy sharp sickle, 

and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; 

for her grapes are fully ripe.

19 And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, 

and gathered the vine of the earth, 

and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.

20 And the winepress was trodden without the city, 

and blood came out of the winepress, 

even unto the horse bridles, 

by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.

Revelation 16:7-9

King James Version

7 And I heard another out of the altar say, 

Even so, Lord God Almighty, 

true and righteous are thy judgments.

8 And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; 

and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.

9 And men were scorched with great heat, 

and blasphemed the name of God, 

which hath power over these plagues: 

and they repented not to give him glory.

GOD of PEACE

 

Psalm 34:4

King James Version

4 I sought the Lord, 

and he heard me, 

and delivered me from all my fears.

In need of peace?

Look to the LORD JESUS.

In need of comfort?

Look to the HOLY SPIRIT.

In need of love?

Look to GOD.

In need of certainty?

Look to the BIBLE.

In need of a direction?

Look to being BORN AGAIN.

All these I've come to know when GOD made me born again.

It's been a daily studying, and sharing of the Bible these past 40 months.

SPIRIT teaches me each day.

And here's where He led me today.

These verses speak of the GOD of PEACE.

Mark 4:39-41

King James Version

39 And he arose, 

and rebuked the wind, 

and said unto the sea, 

Peace, be still. 

And the wind ceased, 

and there was a great calm.

40 And he said unto them, 

Why are ye so fearful? 

how is it that ye have no faith?

41 And they feared exceedingly, 

and said one to another, 

What manner of man is this, 

that even the wind and the sea obey him?

John 14:27

King James Version

27 Peace I leave with you, 

my peace I give unto you: 

not as the world giveth, give I unto you. 

Let not your heart be troubled, 

neither let it be afraid.

John 16:33

King James Version

33 These things I have spoken unto you, 

that in me ye might have peace. 

In the world ye shall have tribulation: 

but be of good cheer; 

I have overcome the world.

Romans 5:1

King James Version

5 Therefore being justified by faith, 

we have peace with God 

through our Lord Jesus Christ:

Romans 15:13

King James Version

13 Now the God of hope 

fill you with all joy and peace in believing, 

that ye may abound in hope, 

through the power of the Holy Ghost.

1 Corinthians 14:33

King James Version

33 For God is not the author of confusion, 

but of peace, 

as in all churches of the saints.

Galatians 5:22-23

King James Version

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, 

joy, peace, longsuffering, 

gentleness, goodness, faith,

23 Meekness, temperance: 

against such there is no law.

1 Thessalonians 5:23

King James Version

23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; 

and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body 

be preserved blameless 

unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

2 Timothy 1:7

King James Version

7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; 

but of power, 

and of love, 

and of a sound mind.

James 3:17

King James Version

17 But the wisdom that is from above 

is first pure, 

then peaceable, 

gentle, 

and easy to be intreated, 

full of mercy and good fruits, 

without partiality, 

and without hypocrisy.

Breathe freely, dear friends!

Breathe, through JESUS!
