Will Many Be Saved or is Salvation for a Very Small Percentage?

Introduction

     This is a very important chapter because complacency and false assurance of salvation is a major problem today. We need to care about people and warn them as an act of love. We need to fear the Lord and try to convince people to become committed Christians instead of lukewarm ones. The Bible indicates that the lukewarm church will be rejected.
      I have not seen or read a sermon like the one in this chapter anywhere. It appears as if the mainstream have missed many of the most important things. If people shared this report there could be revival. It is important that you read this entire chapter including the positive benefits. While you read this, put aside many of the teachings that you have read or heard before. Assume that much of it has been wrong. This is a logical assumption because the Devil has deceived the majority.
     Although this information gives some strong evidence that very few people today are born again, this will probably change very soon. This chapter may encourage such a revival, so it is vital that you read all of it with an open mind. I have yet to meet anyone who demonstrates the signs that should follow every believer.
      There is a very good chance that we will be born again in the future if we are not born again today, and that one day we will walk with God like the Apostles. Hopefully this chapter will cause people to repent, be less complacent and search for genuine believers who can lead us to have a better relationship with God. The Bible indicates a future revival, and hopefully we will be part of it.

The Bible says Our Time will Be Like Noah and Lot's Time

      It must be remembered that in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah there was only one family (Lot's) saved from the cities. Only one person, Lot was recorded as being a godly person from these two cities. In the days of Noah there were only eight people saved in the whole world and they were all from Noah's family. Only one person, Noah was recorded as being a godly person. The other members in his family may not have been saved. The Bible says that it will be similar in our time to the days of Noah and Lot. "Luke 17:26 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. 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. 28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; 29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. 30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed." This verse may be also referring to the percentage of people saved. If so, almost all of the people who think that they are Christians are in for a shock.

The Danger of Teaching that there are Millions Saved

      We cannot tell how many people are saved in the world today. It is up to God to judge the number and not us. Many people assume that they are certainly saved and there are millions of other people saved, but this is probably deception from the Devil to encourage disobedience, complacency and to prevent people from searching for the truth.
      If we teach that there are millions of Christians, people will think that it is fine to imitate others in thinking that they are saved. In actual fact they are probably not saved and not doing God's will. If we made people aware that they may not be saved and that they may have not met a true believer yet, they may be less inclined to follow other so-called lukewarm Christians that they know. Instead they could realize that something is wrong, seek repentance and salvation and start trying to search for God and the true believers. We should only imitate people if they are doing what God wants.
      It would be safer to preach that there are very few born again people alive in the world today and that we are probably not born again yet ourselves. Of course this is just a possibility.
      Another concern is that if people indicate that they are born again, it could be considered an attitude of pretentiousness in God's sight, when the evidence suggests that they are not. Pride is condemned in the Bible. They could be considered by God to be like the Pharisee in the below passage who thought he was right with God just like those who claim to be born again today. Luke 18:10 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. 11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men [are], extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. 12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. 13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as [his] eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. 14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified [rather] than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
      The publican or tax collector was humble and did not claim to be right with God like many today who claim to be definitely born again and on the way to the Kingdom of Heaven. It is therefore much safer to have a humble attitude and assume we may not be born again yet, especially since there is strong evidence that we may not know of anyone alive today who is truly right with God. The danger is that people set the conditions for salvation by their own lives. Often people teach that others will be born again if they have a similar belief to themselves.
      You would not expect someone to find something if they imagined that they already had it even though all the evidence suggested that they did not. This is because they would not be looking. People tend to imagine that good things are happening when they are not, for a source of comfort. Many people imagine that their possessions are worth a lot of money, even though they are not. It is therefore a natural thing for people who do not truly know God to imagine that He is in their lives and that they are saved.
      Many people teach those who have not found God that God is in their lives and takes care of them. They also teach that God definitely loves all the unsaved, helps them and is pleased with them. This also creates complacency and causes people not to search for God. Despite evidence to the contrary, people continue to believe that they are definitely saved and that God is helping them in the ways that the Bible promises. It is a bit like someone in the middle of a drought who believes that it is raining, even though the ground is bone dry, their crops are wilting and the sky is blue. As a result they do nothing about saving their crops or stock. If they came to grips with reality and stop falsely believing something nice is happening, they could save their crops by irrigating or move their stock. If they don't, their produce will die.

Categories of Christians

     It is debatable who you would actually call a Christian. People could be considered a Christian because they believe that the Bible is the word of God and claim to be a Christian. However, that does not mean they are a true Christian. Five categories could be considered.
      1. A nominal Christian - a person who calls themselves a Christian and believes that the God described in the Bible is the true God. However, they are not obeying God and born again like described in the Bible.
      2. A Sunday Christian - someone who regularly goes to a church and believes that the Bible is the word of God. However, they do not practice Christianity outside the church as the Bible commands and are not obeying God, or are born again as described in the Bible.
      3. A Bible study Christian - someone who regularly goes to Bible studies and listens to Christian ministries and attends churches. However, they follow the teachings of the mainstream church and the mainstream evangelists, but not necessarily what the Bible truly says. They claim to be born again and led by God. However, they are not obeying God and born again as described in the Bible.
      4. Committed Christian - someone who believes in the true interpretation of the Bible. These people are really committed and offer to share the information at truechristianity.com . They have a good chance of being saved. However, there is no hard evidence that they are truly born again or that God is guiding and helping them with their daily needs as explained at truechristianity.com . These people know the truth and how God wants them to obey him. However, on many occasions they fail to practice it, even though they may willfully try to obey God. I know of several genuine people in this category.
      5. Truly born again Christian -someone who believes in the true interpretation of the Bible and has hard evidence that God guides and helps them in their daily needs as promised in the Bible. They have a true relationship with God unlike the above categories that probably only imagine that God guides them. These people, with help from God, normally manage to practice what God commands. The apostles fit this category. However, I do not know anyone alive today that has produced the evidence that they are in this category. Hopefully this will change soon.

A Noticeable Difference Between Believers and Unbelievers

      Scriptures such as Deuteronomy 28 suggest that there should be consistent blessings for the people obeying and walking with God. Nobody that we know has produced the evidence that they have these consistent blessings. The second part of the chapter indicates curses and problems for the people disobeying God and not doing his will. This second part probably describes the lives of everyone that we know because they have not produced any evidence to us to indicate otherwise. Today there is no noticeable difference between the unbelievers and the people who claim to be born again and have their prayers answered. The percentage of desirable outcomes and undesirable problems they receive is similar. The difference between the Godly people in the Bible and the so called Christians today is so huge, it is like the gulf between Heaven and Hell. Today believers live similar lives to unbelievers.
      Many people believe that God is definitely working in someone's life if they took the first steps to salvation and their life changed for the better. For example, if they overcame a bad habit. But unbelievers also have times in their life where they dramatically change for the better, while many who claim to be believers experience no significant change in their lives. Some unbelievers are lovely, caring people who would save anyone's life at the expense of their own and volunteer in dangerous situations to help the poor. Other unbelievers have made wonderful discoveries to help people. If these people had accepted Jesus, many would say that they are inspired by God and that He is working in their lives. Godly qualities therefore do not always mean that God is in someone life and that they are saved.
      Salvation is not an emotional time where you come to God once and then deliberately disobey him. You can lose your salvation as shown in 2Peter 2:20 -22 and Hebrews 6:4-6.

Supernatural Signs

     The Apostles were divinely led to make daily decisions and to find what they needed. They had visions. Their prayers were consistently answered and they operated using supernatural gifts such as healing. In my lifetime, I have not seen the miraculous healings and signs that the Apostles regularly manifested. I challenge anyone to provide evidence that they have God's supernatural gifts so that they occur consistently. If you believe that the above things are happening supernaturally today it is vital that you read the chapter titled "A Powerful Challenge to Bring Revival." I challenge anyone to give evidence for his/her claims. If you claim that your prayers make a noticeable difference, please come and visit us so that you can provide the evidence and help people in our area.
     This is not about seeking a sign. This is about seeking to be led by God and have a relationship with him. It is also about seeking godly people to have fellowship with so that they can encourage us. God said that we should move in his spirit and desire spiritual gifts (1Cor 14:1). We should not seek a sign by itself. The sign should not be the thing that totally influences us. The most important thing is seeking and obeying God. It is also important to find fellowship with genuine believers who obey God.
      The Bible says that there will be certain supernatural signs that accompany those that believe. However, the signs themselves do not necessarily indicate that people are born again (Matthew 7:22). Therefore the Bible warns about only seeking signs by themselves. The Bible says to try or test the spirits (1John 4:1). It also says to be vigilant (1Peter 5:8). Salvation also involves obeying God so it is important that we insure that a person is obeying God and has the fruits before we believe that they are saved.
     If people do not believe that signs are important, they deny the power of God. The Bible warns us about people who have a form of Godliness but deny its power. This description fits most of the churches today. "2Tim 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away."
     If we completely ignore signs, we are bound to be deceived into believing that unsaved people are saved. Ignoring signs means ignoring evidence. It also means ignoring or removing many Scriptures, which is wrong. We are commanded not to take anything away from the word.
     "Mark 16:17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. Luke 10:19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Matthew 21:21 Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this [which is done] to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done. 22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive. Matthew 17:16 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."
      If people speak in tongues they claim that this is the sign that they are saved, but what about the other signs? That is why we need to keep seeking God and searching. In Philippians 2:12 we are told to "work out your own salvation with fear and trembling." Matthew 10:28 says: ". . . fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in Hell." It is possible that the only born again people in the whole world have supernatural signs and are walking with God like the Apostles?

The Need to Find Genuine Believers

      Some people say that you don't need to find, work and live with genuine believers to show you how to walk with God or help you do his will. That is a bit like saying that you can learn how to land a specialized aircraft by just getting someone to explain how, without ever seeing the aircraft. Many have tried to go it alone and have not succeeded. They become deceived that God is leading them when He is not, and as a result are led into error. It is psychologically difficult to seek and obey God when you do not know of anyone who has succeeded. Finding someone who successfully has a true relationship with God would motivate us. They would teach us their methods and help us make the correct decisions. It is very difficult for us to practice what God wants us to think in a difficult, ungodly and negative environment. We really need some people who are definitely walking with God to motivate us. The Bible says that we need fellowship with genuine believers.
      The Bible promises, that those with the Holy Spirit are able to operate with God's gifts to break curses and cast out demons that prevent us from obeying God. In the Bible demon possession and the casting out of demons was very common. It is therefore likely that almost everybody is either possessed by or seriously affected by them. As a result we are bound to do things we do not wish to do and struggle to obey God. If we can find the true believers who are casting out demons, they could set us free so that we could walk with God. Oppressive circumstances and curses may then not affect us.
     If we could find those that could produce the evidence that God is in their lives, you would think that their interpretation of the scriptures would probably be correct and that their life would be right with God. They could help guide the people who wanted to believe the truth but were confused about the correct belief to follow, due to the different scholars interpretations and doctrines that contradict.

Prayer Should Make a Difference

     The Bible promises that the prayers of those who obey God should make a noticeable difference. The following scriptures also indicate that prayer has a powerful affect. If God does answer your prayers, you should receive a greater percentage of desirable outcomes than could possibly happen naturally to unbelievers. Also you should have a lower percentage of undesirable outcomes than the unrighteous. The difference should be very noticeable to anyone you work with. It should be able to be measured and proven by anyone like it was with the Apostles. People should realize that the outcomes cannot happen naturally or by chance, but instead are divinely inspired. If this cannot be proven, it is probably just imagination, deception or the placebo affect. Therefore the people who claim to be led by God, may not have a relationship with God at all.
      "James 5:16 Confess [your] faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. Matthew 18:19 Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. Matthew 21:22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive. 1Peter 4:18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?" If people claim their prayers have a consistently powerful effect, they should be able to easily give the evidence. Because nobody has produced this evidence to us, it could indicate that nobody that we know is considered to have the righteousness of Christ and be born again in God's sight.
     Unlike today, supernatural activity consistently occurred all through the Bible. The Bible did not say that this would stop. It would cease at certain times or places, but this is not saying that it will not be occurring anywhere in the world. The scripture at 1Cor 13:8 probably indicates that gifts will cease or fail in churches because they are disobeying God.
      The Apostles were using God's power in the name of Jesus to consistently set people free, but where is that consistency today? For Jesus and the Apostles healings were widespread. "Matthew 9:35 And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people. Luke 9:6 And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing every where. Matthew 10:1 And when he had called unto [him] his twelve disciples, he gave them power [against] unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease. "
     
Jesus said his chosen people would do greater things than he did. "John 14:12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater [works] than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. " I don't know of anyone that even does anything like Jesus did let alone greater things.
     If supernatural healings occur consistently today where are the medical records? You would think that they would indicate supernatural healings or healings at a higher rate than would happen naturally.
      You may claim that prayers are answered, but it could be a natural occurrence as well, and what about the majority of prayers that are not answered? In the Bible the people of God easily produced the evidence they were of God when their prayers made a noticeable difference.
     Scriptures state that God does not answer or even hear the prayers of those who are disobedient to God. "James 4:3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.
Psalm 66:18 If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear [me]:"
  This could indicate that nobody that we know (including us) is born again or right with God. This is because salvation is conditional on obedience to God, and that nobody that we know has demonstrated to us that their prayers make a consistent difference.
     The only time I have seen prayer make a noticeable and measurable difference has been experiences that others and I have had in a Pentecostal church, where we have fallen down under the power of God while being prayed for. There were also other supernatural physical effects in us such as wrenching of the body. This was probably demons in us reacting to the power of God during prayer. These demons appeared to be stirred up but were not cast out. The same people were affected in similar ways time and time again but were not healed. We never received the things that we prayed for.

Who is Truly Led by God

     There are many lovely caring people who are seeking to obey God and searching for the truth. Their desire is to study God's word. However, this is different to being divinely led by God, himself. If someone is truly led by God the decision or belief they claim God led them to should always be correct, because God does not make mistakes. Many people claim to be divinely led and study God's word. They claim God led them to a certain belief. However, their belief often turns out be wrong. Almost all of the people who claim to be Christians and to be led by God, disagree on important beliefs and decisions. It is probably not God who is leading them at all, because you would think that the one true God would lead people to the one truth that would not contradict itself. The Bible says God and the Holy Spirit will not cause confusion. "1Cor 14:33 For God is not [the author] of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints. James 3:14 But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. 15 This wisdom descendeth not from above, but [is] earthly, sensual, devilish. 16 For where envying and strife [is], there [is] confusion and every evil work. 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."
      Life is all about confusion and partiality for everyone I know, because we battle to make the correct choices, make incorrect decisions, and disagree over scripture. Possibly the only people who are born again and truly led by the Holy Spirit don't have these problems most of the time. It is likely that everybody we know is only led by their imagination and not by God at all.

Mainstream Church Deception of a False Revival to Gain Members and Funds

      People claim that many good things are happening in today's mainstream churches. It appears that the apostate church has deceived them into believing this so that it can be promoted and funded. People get excited about a healing or an answered prayer, but fail to comment on the majority that are not. They believe that there is a widespread revival when there is none. As a result people become satisfied with mainstream evangelists and the apostate church. Therefore they will not search for true Christianity and salvation.
      People are leaving the mainstream churches in droves. Especially the mainstream Pentecostal churches. The reasons are normally not because they have been offended by being corrected, but because they have been deceived and given false hope by the Church. One of the main criticisms of the mainstream Pentecostal churches is that people do not tell the truth. People claim that they are healed when they are not, and promise healing without delivering. They claim that wonderful things are happening everywhere today. If they were honest they would have more support and a better name, and encourage people to search for the truth. They should be saying that only a very small percentage of people are healed, a lot of our prophecies which we claim are from God turn out to be wrong and the world is almost totally evil. Therefore we must be doing something wrong and it is possible that none of us are saved yet so, we need to seek more and obey God.
      I would like to say there are many people saved today and that we are definitely saved, but I can only follow the Bible, observe what is happening today and give an honest opinion.
     
Over Emphasis on a Few Verses. Ignoring many Others

     It seems that too many people place too much emphasis on a few verses while ignoring a large number of others. One example is John 3:16. The term "believe" means to believe what God stands for, as explained in depth at truechristianity.com. That would also mean to obey God, because it says in James 2:19 the Demons also believe God exists. Perhaps most people believe Jesus exists and has done what the Scriptures say he has done. However, the Bible also says that only a few will be saved.
      Romans 10:9 is another example. Once again the term believe is used. It must therefore mean something similar to the above, otherwise the Demons would be saved. The Demons believed Jesus was the Christ and the Son of God. One example is at Luke 4:41. An antichrist could claim Jesus is Lord and also believe God raised him from the dead before returning to his evil practices. Therefore "believe" must have a deeper meaning. Romans 10:9 must be referring to the term believe as described above, and also as an initial step to salvation. If all you have to do is believe in God and not obey, then we could ignore the other verses and say they are not true. The Bible says not to do this. There are many other verses that may be more important than Romans 10:9 and John 3:16, which few people consider important.

Only the First Steps of Salvation Taught

      The Bible indicates that salvation is a walk on a narrow way which is difficult. It appears that the sinner's prayer, where you give your heart to Jesus and sincerely repent, is only the first step to salvation. The scriptures indicate that the first step to salvation by itself is not sufficient to be saved. It is like the first step up Mount Everest, which almost anybody could achieve. However, that is very different to climbing to the top of Mount Everest, which almost nobody can achieve due to it's rugged conditions and the physical pain involved in the climb. There would also be a high chance of falling off the steep knife-blade ridges. However, it would be possible to climb. This also describes the narrow walk to be born again. We need to warn the unaware that a fire storm is approaching and that a number of steps are required to evacuate. If you only take one or two steps along an alley towards an exit of a burning building you would probably be burnt to death. "Matthew 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it."

Salvation, Fruit and Works

      Ephesians 2:8-9 says that salvation is not by works, but you still need to seek to obey God, even though we all sin and make mistakes. You would still have to believe what is true as explained in depth at truechristianity.com. Salvation will not depend on successful results or works because a sick and incapacitated person can be saved if he or she believes what is true and seeks to obey God. Throughout this ministry I am not saying that salvation results from works. I am saying that we need to obey God and move in his spirit. The below scriptures indicate that you cannot be saved without obvious fruits.
     In Gal 5:22 it says, "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, " In Strong's concordance some of the meanings of fruit are "an effect, result, work, act, deed, creative effort; a product, advantage, profit, utility, and praises which are presented to God as a thank offering."
     "Matthew 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. 21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity." The above verses are more evidence that there are very few if any true born again Christians alive today.

Agape Love and an Extraordinary Testimony

      Leading evangelists teach that you will be immediately saved after you sincerely give you life to the Lord Jesus and ask him for salvation while repenting of sin. Stuart Best had a testimony stating that he did this but continued to seek God. A summary of the testimony and his claims follows. It sounds genuine although there are a few things that I am not sure about and others that I do not agree with.
      He was led to quit his job to search for the truth and obey God by turning his back on mammon. After a while he was convicted that he was not saved and instead going to Hell. This happened for over a year, where he repeatedly asked for salvation and sought God, but his prayers were not answered. He felt he died inside to sin with absolute separation from all things, including God, who would not respond despite his desperate cries for help and salvation. He remained in a state of torment and tribulation, knowing he was going to Hell.
      The most important commandment or fruit is Agape Love. This is an unconditional self sacrificial love which God has for his people. After a while he had the revelation that Agape Love or Charity was different to the love one shows their family. He suddenly realized that he did not show agape love in truth, and up to that point of time he used to manipulate people to do what he wanted. He claims that then, he had an experience where God appeared to him and called him by name and he saw the heart of Jesus Christ. He then states he went through the Great White Throne Judgment where he had to confess he did not love and then he was asked will you love? Upon saying yes he claims to have became born again.
     In his testimony he indicates that everybody may have to go through a similar experience as he did and that they are not saved by the sinner's prayer alone. Instead salvation takes often years where you are convicted that you are lost even before you are born again.
      He quotes: "The words, ASK, SEEK, AND KNOCK, by the way, ARE NOT translated correctly. They mean, and they IMPLY a DESIRE SO GREAT THAT IT IS AN OBSESSION."
      "When Jesus Christ says HE WILL COME AND SUP WITH THE BELIEVER, HE MEANS IT. It is FULLY EXPERIENTIAL, and the lies of modern Christianity that you take SALVATION BY AN ACT OF FAITH ARE LIES AND DECEPTIONS OF SATAN. You are TO HEAR THE VOICE OF CHRIST, AS HE CALLS YOU BY NAME, AND HE WILL COMMUNE WITH YOU AND SHOW YOU THE TRUTH OF THE NEW COVENANT, AND THE NEW HEART."

      This testimony is very different to others that you often see because almost everybody claims that they are born again after the sinner's prayer. The testimony indicates that people are not saved until after being convicted over a long period of time. They need an obsession to seek God and to find the truth.
     The man who referred me to this testimony indicated that he was not born again yet, despite being very committed and seeking God. He hopes to be soon. You can read the The Personal Testimony Of Stewart C. Best linked to http://pub59.ezboard.com/fseekers61269frm10 .

Salvation Conditional on Obeying God

      Many verses indicate that salvation is conditional on obeying God. "Rev 21:8 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. Hebr 10:26-28 For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: James 2:8 If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well: 9 But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors. 10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one [point], he is guilty of all. 11 For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law. 12 So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty. 13 For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment. 14 What [doth it] profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, 16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be [ye] warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what [doth it] profit? 17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. 18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. 19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. 20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?"
      Perhaps no one will be saved if they disobey God in the ways mentioned here or at truechristianity.com/christian/salvationbfull.htm . "Matthew 7: 21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven." This could mean that nobody will be saved who is in a Trade Union or working for the corrupt government (bar rare exceptions) or working for a mainstream bank or large company that promotes or does any ungodly practices. Perhaps nobody will make it to Heaven if they are in any industry that has to promote ungodly or unnecessary things that can't be used for God's will. Christians need to work for God and not Satan because Satan controls the world's corrupt system. Perhaps nobody will make it to Heaven if they don't fully use their time or money for God's will as explained on this site. People in the mainstream churches are wearing unnecessary jewellery and are supporting evil things. "James 4:4 - . . . friendship of the world is enmity with God? I John 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. Luke 16:13-14 No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. . . ."

God's Commandments

     Many people call themselves Christians, but they don't try to keep God's commandments. One of the most important commandments is to love one another, which means to help each another and care for those who are less well off. There are numerous references to people being shut out of the kingdom, and instead going to hell because they did not obey this commandment, even though they came to Jesus asking to be saved.

Are many Evangelists Saved

     Even people who are thought of as great godly people by many others may not have been truly saved. They may have been at one point in time. There are many reports indicating that most, if not all mainstream evangelists condone evil or are false prophets. There are many thoroughly researched sites linked to truechristianity.com/references.htm with exact quotes from the evangelists, so you can judge for yourself. This means that there is strong evidence that these evangelists were not led by God, and therefore may not be saved. The concern is that many churches think highly of these evangelists. I know the evangelists preach a lot of the truth, but so did the Pharisees. The problem is the amount of deception, false claims, false prophecies, and support of evil worldly things. Below is an example of just one of the many evangelists. A report that I have read said the following about one evangelist who is highly respected by some mainstream churches, and thought by them to be a true prophet.
      "This account of Wigglesworth's vision comes from pg 168-169 of Lester Sumrall's 1995 book, 'Pioneers of Faith':
      "... Shutting his eyes again, he said, 'I see the greatest revival in the history of mankind coming to Planet earth, maybe as never before. And I see every form of disease healed. I see whole hospitals emptied with no one there. Even the doctors are running down the streets shouting.'
      "He told me that there would be untold numbers of uncountable mult- itudes that would be saved. No man will say 'so many, so many,' because nobody will be able to count those who come to Jesus. No disease will be able to stand before God's people... 'It will be a worldwide situation, not local,' he said, 'a worldwide thrust of God's power and God's anointing upon mankind.'
      "Then he opened his eyes and looked at me and said, 'I will not see it, but you shall see it."

      Lester Sumrall died on April 28, 1996. Therefore, he did not see these events. This would be a false prophecy, if this account is correct, as these events were not fulfilled in Lester Sumrall's lifetime. The hospitals are not empty. We have not seen such widespread healings and revival yet. The Bible does not prophesy a revival in our age, although that does not mean that one won't occur in the future. However, there are indications in the Bible that a revival will occur in the coming tribulation and the Millennium.
     A true prophet is supposed to be 100% correct. If what they said did not come to pass, they were stoned to death in the Old Testament.
     People need to be careful about teaching who is a great person of God, because they may be condoning false prophets and unsaved people. This could deceive people. There are many other false prophets and evangelists that people are supporting. Please see the references page at truechristianity.com/references.htm for more information.

Imagination and Deception of a Relationship With God

      Many people imagine that they have a relationship with God but actually they don't. They are deceived into a false sense of security and complacency. They assume that God will take them to Heaven when they die along with their other loved ones. Such complacency is dangerous and it is obvious it would be to Satan's advantage. Imagination and deception is a powerful thing. People wrongfully think that because they have had an emotional experience they are saved and are walking with God.
      Even non-Christians imagine they have relationships and hear voices. For example, schizophrenics. Most people's experiences can be explained as just a natural, emotional event. We need to live by faith, but we should find reliable evidence that what we believe is genuine for a start, otherwise we could end up like religions that live by faith, but have based their faith upon deception. Each of these religions is convinced they have a true relationship with God but they strongly disagree, therefore most of them must be wrong.
      If only people in these religions thoroughly researched and tried to find evidence that what they believed is correct, they would soon realize that they are in error. It is dangerous to believe in something which you have heard without gaining evidence of it first, and closely examining and questioning your beliefs. Once there is reliable evidence then we can have faith. We need to have an open mind, to be prepared that we could be wrong and be willing to change any errors that we may have. The Bible says that Jesus will say to many in the coming day that He did not know them, even though the people thought they knew him. How do you know that God definitely knows and leads you, and that it is not just your imagination?
      My concern is that many wrongly assume God is in their lives and this causes complacency and this stops them searching for the genuine thing. Therefore, they will be lost as a result. It is a bit like someone that is in the path of a firestorm who convinces themselves that they will be safe and should not take any precautions.
      The people in the following two verses believed that they had a relationship with God, but it was a false one. "Matthew 7: 21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity."

Visions of Angels, Lights & the Virgin Mary maybe Satanic

      People are deceived that they have a relationship with God, when actually it could be demons pretending to be of God. Many people have visions of angels. Visions of bright lights accompany the visions and even non-Christian people claim to have seen them. 2 Corinthians 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Others claim to see visions of the Virgin Mary. These visions could be impersonations of satan or demons or mere imagination. They could also be magical tricks, optical illusions or natural occurrences. For example, if some statues are fed a spoon of milk siphon action sucks the milk from the spoon. Serving or worshipping statues or idols was condemned in the Bible.

False Claims that God Helped Them to Succeed

      Some people claim that they are Christians and that God helped them to succeed. However, often the way that they succeeded would be considered worldly and not as obeying God as described on other pages of this site. If this was the case it appears as if they were deceived that it was God that was leading and helping them. It could actually be a result of their own ideas or Satan's influence. What they are doing could encourage other Christians to seek money and worldly success, which would be to Satan's advantage.

The Spirit, Natural Reasoning and the Flesh

     Many verses indicate that there is a big difference between the spiritual realm and the flesh realm. These verses tend to indicate that the spiritual realm should not be the natural realm. Everyone I know experiences the natural realm. "1Cor 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know [them], because they are spiritually discerned. Rom 8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. Rom 8:12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. 13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. 1Cor 15:50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption."
     We all try and battle with our own strength which fails. We use natural reasoning and make mistakes instead of using God's Spirit to lead us. For example, wouldn't seeking medical cures that don't work be of the flesh, while seeking God to heal be of the spirit? Everyone I know seeks man made medical cures that mostly don't work. If you believe that you are walking close to God, the Holy Spirit should lead you. You should not have to battle in the flesh.

What About the Multitudes spoken of In the Bible?

     The 144000 and the enormous crowd of people saved in Rev 7:9 come out of the coming Great Tribulation when the Antichrist or the man of sin will rule. Bible chronology and the term "Great Tribulation" would indicate that we are not in the 7 year Great Tribulation yet. We are in the evil generation as it was in Noah's time before the Son of man is revealed.
     In the end times, there is to be a falling away like in the days of Noah. But "2Thes 2:3 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;"
     Even in the Great Tribulation the saved multitude, which no man could number (Rev 7:9) may only consist of a few thousand people. It is hard to count the exact number of people in a crowd that is moving around, therefore it is likely that nobody in the crowd could count the exact number, as the verse indicates. Many people assume that the following verse is referring to mankind, and the people alive today. However, it is mainly referring to angels. Nothing in this verse indicates that it refers to people who are alive today. "Rev 5:11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;"

Scriptures Only Applying to the Chosen People

      There is strong evidence that many Scriptures only speak to and apply to God's chosen people. This is the only way to explain many of the difficult questions and why many Scriptures appear to contradict. Some verses do not necessarily speak to everyone. Many verses contain words like "you", "us" and "we". People wrongly assume that these verses always apply to them. For example, some verses only speak to the Israelites in the Old Testament, or to the Apostles in the New Testament.
     There were obvious measurable signs that God cared for his chosen people in the Scriptures. There were other groups of people where God did not work in their lives. They did not know God and they perished. Like today, many would not have heard the gospel.
      We should not indicate to people that they cannot be saved if they seek God. If we seek God and try to obey him, we would have more chance of being chosen as one of his own, but the choosing is up to God. He is the judge. We still need to face the judgment, and there is every indication that it will be harsh.
      Scriptures indicating that only certain people will be chosen are: "Matthew 22:14 For many are called, but few [are] chosen. Matthew 1:21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call His name Jesus, for he shall save HIS PEOPLE from their sins. Luke 1:77 To give knowledge of salvation unto HIS PEOPLE by the remission of their sins. John 15:16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and (that) your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. Rom 9:10 And not only [this]; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, [even] by our father Isaac; 11 (For [the children] being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;) 12 It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger. 13 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated. Romans 9:21 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour? Mat 11:15 He that hath ears to hear, let him hear." (This indicates that some people are born without ears and therefore cannot hear the word of God and therefore cannot be chosen) "Matthew 13: 37 He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; 38 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked [one]; 39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. 40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. John 17:9 ; I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine. Matt 15:24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Acts 13:48 And when the Gentiles [peoples] heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ORDAINED to eternal life believed. Matt 13:11 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. John 6:65 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father. 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."
      It is puzzling why God appeared to Paul so dramatically while he was disobeying God, while today people are seeking God and trying to obey him yet God does not appear to them. As a result they may become disgruntled and lost. Perhaps they are not meant to be the chosen people.
      There is also a question about the matter that is linked to the forum at http://www.truechristianity.com/philosophy
      Perhaps this can explain why many people are truly seeking God but cannot find him to the point that they are satisfied they have his spirit. It could be possible that some people will not be chosen and saved no matter how hard they try to seek and obey God. It appears as if Paul, the Apostles and the thief on the cross were in the right place at the right time and were chosen. I cannot explain why some people in Biblical times found God without any evidence they first tried hard to seek and obey him, while today some people spend enormous time trying to seek and obey God but they cannot find him. Luke 11:9, which says "seek, and ye shall find" may only apply and speak to the chosen people.
      I don't particularly want to believe in the chosen people concept but there are so many verses that suggest it as indicated. Also evidence suggests that it is so. I am seeking to believe the truth even if it not pleasant. People can make the mistake of believing pleasant and hopeful things even if they are not true. They can believe in what feels nice instead of seeking the truth.

Scriptures Indicating Divine Help in: Finding What we Need; Peace and Joy; Memory; and Comfort. The Opposite is Happening for Everyone We Know.

      The things the Scriptures say should be happening to us are not happening. Instead often the opposite is happening. For example, Romans 8:28 above indicates that "all things work together for good to them that love God". Very few things work out to be good for everyone I know, including myself. There are no obvious positive outcomes. Life is often about frustration, uncertainty, worry, not achieving what you hope for or things taking longer than we hope, accidents, things breaking down, sicknesses that do not cure and natural disasters. We often make incorrect decisions that prove costly, after it takes considerable time and pain to make them. There are also many other problems. Some people put a positive spin on things and say that people make mistakes so they learn not to make them again. However, people often only forget what they have learnt before making the same mistake again.
      We regularly lose things and cannot find them or unfortunate or unlikely bad things happen to us. We forget most of what we read, hear or learn after it takes an enormous amount of time to study. Sometimes we become sick and do not recover. Very often we need to try a great many times before getting something correct, or finding what we want.
     The Bible says that God's chosen people will seek and they will find (Luke 11:9) but the opposite seems to be happening. If people were truly led by God like the Apostles, you would think that they would be led to what they need without considerable searching and worry. One of the major battles is trying to find the people or items that we need. There are so many counterfeit things and subtly deceptive people that look like what we need. Trying to find something good is like trying to find a small piece of gold in a heap in which there is mostly Fools Gold and rubbish.
      We try to make the correct decisions based on the opinions of many people who are knowledgeable in that area. Often their opinions contradict and there are so many possible choices. For example, when we are trying to purchase an item, we need to contact many experts in that field and compare many prices to make the correct choices. This may take days. Another example is if we need a second hand car, it may take months of painful searching to find a good one, and after we buy it we may realize that it was the wrong decision. This is also true when trying to decide where to live if you are thinking of moving. We are faced with decisions all the time, and it is unlikely that we will make the best choice; at least initially. The consequences can be great.
      The Apostles were led by the spirit to make the correct decisions. Therefore, we should be doing better and we must be doing something wrong.
      We could do nothing else but read and study the Bible, and we may still not remember most of it. It seems a terrible waste of time, therefore it makes sense to spend a lot more time searching for a better way. To remember things, we need to read or hear them several times. We may only take in a small percent of what we read or hear. It may consume days of our time just to read one book once. There are many more books we would like to read. If only reading, comprehension, and memory were more efficient we would have more time to do more for the Lord. There are non-Christian people in the world who claim to be very efficient in these areas.
      The Holy Spirit is supposed to be a helper and a comforter, so you would think that someone walking in the spirit would be more efficient at these things than worldly people. If only we were divinely led on these things. If the below verse applies today, the Holy Spirit brings remembrance of all things. "John 14:26 But the Comforter, [which is] the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you." The Bible says the Holy Spirit is for today, so why wouldn't this verse apply today to those spirit filled Christians? I don't see supernatural memory and consistent comfort among the so-called Christians I know, including me.
      The fruit of the spirit is said to include peace and joy (Gal 5:22). People claim that they have it consistently but they are probably deceived. People may be joyful and peaceful in church or when things are going well, but the difficulty arises when things go wrong, their prayers are not answered, and people become frustrated. Even unbelievers experience periods of peace and joy usually when things go well. If I lived or worked with those people who claim to be Christians and have peace and joy, they would probably be as frustrated and disappointed throughout their daily lives as the people I know.
      Many people do repetitive easy work and do not have ambitions. They do not do challenging tasks where many frustrating things can go wrong. These people, who are often unbelievers, claim to have joy and peace, which would be understandable. If you follow someone else or the secular system you need to make fewer choices, as they are made for you. It would be easier if you did this to have joy and peace, as you would be blindly following an easy path. However, we are not meant to follow the world or the broad road. I am not saying that all people who claim to have joy and peace are on an easy road, just that nobody has proven to me that they have it consistently while being on a difficult road, such as trying to invent something. When doing things like this that are less predictable, tasks mostly take much longer than you hope, and unforeseen things go wrong.
      There are solutions, but they take time to implement. Therefore in the mean time frustrating problems persist to torment. Other unexpected problems occur, which delay solving the initial problems. As a result your plans and solutions are not achieved. At the same time you are conscious about what you should be focusing on but delays and setbacks prevent you from doing it.
      There are so many setbacks and unexpected disasters. When terrible things happen, or when we do not receive or achieve what we hope for, human nature naturally gets, frustrated. We naturally get anxious, unsatisfied, unthankful and frustrated. Hence there is not peace and joy. There is worry, uncertainty, anxiety, turmoil, confusion and stress, when we battle to make decisions to overcome problems. We hope things will work out well, and run smoothly, but mostly we are disappointed. Unwanted thoughts enter our brains, which hinder us. Joy and peace are very difficult to achieve in this world. It is therefore difficult to be satisfied and thankful. Illness can also prevent joy and peace. Some people get upset by problems and mishaps more than others.
      The following three verses indicate that all of God's people will be supernaturally provided for, and not have to make frustrating worrying decisions to obtain what they need. The verses also indicate that everybody we know who is concerned and making painful decisions about these things are faithless ordinary, worldly, unsaved people.
      "Mat 6:30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, [shall he] not much more [clothe] you, O ye of little faith? Mat 6:31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? Mat 6:32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things."
      Here are some verses that are supposed to be true for God's chosen people. The available evidence indicates that the opposite is happening to all of the people we know. "Luke 11:9 And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. 10 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. 11 If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if [he ask] a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? 12 Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? 13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall [your] heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?"
      I have yet to see consistent evidence of this today.

Divine Miracles or just Natural Coincidences

      Many people claim that an event was a miracle of God, but it is often just a natural and fortunate coincidence, which can also happen to ungodly people. For example, people claim that it was a miracle from God that they were not killed in an accident but actually there is a high chance that this was due to a natural causes. If the term miracle is used, some people will think that you are comparing it to the supernatural miracles in the Bible that could not happen naturally. Ungodly people have close shaves all the time in things which are irrelevant to God. For example, it is amazing how many times someone batting in a game of cricket will go so close to being dismissed. It may be dozens of occasions yet they still survive. To the naive this may look like a miracle that they survived, but these things often happen.
      For an event to be claimed as a miracle, ideally a less than one in a million chance of it happening naturally should exist. People who claim that natural events are miracles could be judged as downgrading the work of God. Skeptics would see what they claim to be miracles as just a fortunate coincidence. As a result people may believe all the true, supernatural miracles in the Bible are only like what people falsely claim to be miracles today. Hence they will think that the true miracles in the Bible were not supernatural miracles. Therefore it will help the argument for atheists and non Bible believers, and damage Christianity.
     The miracles in the Bible could not have happened by chance, and many of them could not happen naturally. Christians should be saying that what people claim to be miracles may not be truly miracles, and that we must be doing something wrong for God not to move as He moved in the Bible. If they did this people would trust their statements more. They would encourage people to search for the genuine thing, not make false claims, and not become complacent.
      Even though the origins of the word luck have pagan roots, sometimes the word still needs to be used so that people can understand what we are talking about.
      One meaning of the word at dictionary.com is "To gain success or something desirable by chance:" This meaning is a fact of life because evidence suggests that most minor events in most people's lives are left to chance, and that God does not have a hand in them.
      Many people have a biased view when something goes wrong. They say that “they were lucky that it was not worse or lucky to be alive.” This would be considered a correct statement in itself. However, biased views give false impressions. Often people say “I am the luckiest person to be alive.” But this cannot be true because they would be luckier if the problem did not occur in the first place, and they could be considered unlucky because the problem occurred at all.
      Desirable outcomes can be explained by chance, as their frequency does not defy the laws of probability in all the cases that I know of. God may not be involved with many of them. For example, some are attributed to ungodly actions, as in the case of someone gambling and winning a lot of money. Often evil people have desirable outcomes, while good or godly people do not. Therefore these things could be considered to be not blessings from God, as blessings are promised to the righteous and curses are promised to those who disobey God.
      False statements indicating that it is God helping and blessing ungodly people can give the impression that God is pleased with these people and that they are doing his will. But in actual fact God may be very angry with them and wanting them to repent and become saved.

Could a Perfect God Have a Hand in Someone's Life With Relentless Confusion and Chaos?

      God's creation is perfect, where things fit together mathematically. It is claimed that the Hebrew and Greek text in all the books of the Bible have a mathematical pattern called Bible Numerics that proves the Bible has to be the word of God. Such perfection cannot happen by chance. Details are widely available.
      From this and the word of God we understand that God does things perfectly and you would not think He would be causing chaotic, confusing, random, purposeless, frustrating problems with no positive benefit that occur in the lives of everyone I know. Perhaps it is mostly not God who is causing them. If you claim it is definitely God controlling everything you could be indicating that God is not perfect. That means it could be wrong and deceptive to say that God definitely has a hand in your life and is leading you when evidence suggests otherwise. If you do, people may see God as a chaotic God. This is different to how the Scriptures describe him. Also such claims deceive people they do not need to search for God and become saved. If you believe that you are saved and that God definitely is in your life, are you suggesting that the many Scriptures I quote are incorrect? It appears as if God does not control everything but if He does it leaves a lot of unanswered questions.
     The Bible also says: "Matthew 5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. John 3:9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin, because his seed remaineth in him". John 5:18 "We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not". Everyone I know, including myself struggles in the flesh and commits sin to some degree. So many people teach that evil things are good.

Who's Life Does God Have a Hand In?

      I know we humans can create an automatic computer program or machine over which we have ultimate control. The plans for the day could be to leave it run automatically, do other things and at the end of the day turn the program or machine off and maybe manually fix any problems it caused. Either we or backup relief workers have control over it because no matter what happens we are always present in the workshop and will switch it off at the end of the day. But while it is unattended, the program or machine could malfunction and cause problems. However, if the problem is so great that the life of the machine or program is about to encounter a fatal problem to destroy it, one of the workers would intervene to stop it after a warning signal. A person would have control over switching the program or machine off and repairing it. In the same way God has control over the major events He chooses to. It does not mean God controls and watches over every small thing and stops it from going wrong.
      If a gardener creates many gardens and looks after some but not others, the difference between the ones He loves and works in and the ones left to chance and the elements would be noticeably and measurably different. Where is the significant difference between the unbelievers and so-called Christians today?
      I know of people who are very sincere and trying their hardest to obey God, but it appears as if they are doing it with their own strength. There is no proof of God's power in their lives.
      It is debatable what exactly God does control. Perhaps He does not control the lives at all of those He does not know and has not chosen. This could include how long they live. However. even if God does not have a hand in anyone's life, there is still probably a log record of every detail that God can refer to in the judgment.
      People think there is divine intervention and God has helped them when something goes well, but how do they know it was God and not just a coincidence? By coincidence something good that is highly unlikely, happens to everyone at times. Wonderful and extremely unlikely events even happen to fortunate ungodly people doing evil things. However, these things do not happen for most people including Christians, even if they are doing Godly things. Instead, things still go wrong. There is no noticeable difference between the rate of accidents, mishaps, breakdowns etc for the unbelievers compared to the believers we know. God may not have a hand in these things for all the people I know, because there is no pattern or purpose to most of these problems. Consistently good outcomes, or answered prayers at a higher rate than could possibly occur by just chance, is what is required to prove that an event is definitely divine intervention and not just a coincidence.
      Maybe God focuses on other more important issues. This is not to say that God does not know what is happening and doesn't have a positive outcome for our lives.
      I know the unfolding history of the world is divinely controlled because prophecies have been fulfilled and will be fulfilled. People blame God for causing certain disasters, but it is likely He may not have a hand in them. God could leave most things to chance, at least most of the time. By doing this He may be hoping that people realize something is wrong and start doing his will.
      If God is really helping us, you would think that things would work out better than the chance result or Murphy's Law which states: "anything that can possibly go wrong, will go wrong". If someone loves you and is helping you, you notice it and the difference is measurable. I challenge you to give evidence that it is really God's hand influencing a circumstance in your life so that it is not just a chance outcome.

Frustrating Problems can be a Test of Faith. All Should End on a Positive Note For the Believers.

      Many people state that frustrating problems are a test of faith, but if this was definitely the case, you would think there would be a positive conclusion and purpose in the long run in the lives of all committed Christians on earth. Romans 8:28 states; ". . . all things work together for good to them that love God . . .". This was the case with the people of God who suffered like Job, who remained faithful and was blessed in the end with God speaking to him. Historically God has punished the unsaved and blessed his chosen people. In Biblical times, Christians still experienced times of persecution and suffering, but for the people of God such as Job, these trials generally ended on a positive note.
      Looking at many people's lives it is often hard to see the reason why unfortunate things continue to happen. Sickness, frustration and problems can draw people to God, but why do they continue after people are seeking God so that the sickness and frustrating problems prevent people from doing God's will? So often there is no positive outcome resulting from the above problems. The only chosen people could be people where the evidence is obvious that God has a hand any almost every affair of their lives. Romans 8:28 (as quoted above) is more evidence that we are yet to meet a born again person.

Who does God Love?

      This chapter will examine this topic with an open mind. We need to put aside what we have been taught and look at both sides of the debate. The aim is to find the truth and be willing to change our view if we find the truth is different to what we previously believed. I am also willing to change some of my information if more light can be shed on these subjects.
      The Bible states that God does love his chosen people. But does He love everyone? To answer this question with an open mind we need to look at all scriptures and not just one or two. I previously stated that many scriptures only apply to certain people and not to everyone. Therefore terms like “you” or “us” often only apply to God's chosen people. Below are some scriptures that few people focus on.
      "Romans 9:13 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated. Malachi 1:2 ; I have loved you, saith the LORD. Yet ye say, Wherein hast thou loved us? [Was] not Esau Jacob's brother? saith the LORD: yet I loved Jacob, 3 And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness. 4 Whereas Edom saith, We are impoverished, but we will return and build the desolate places; thus saith the LORD of hosts, They shall build, but I will throw down; and they shall call them, The border of wickedness, and, The people against whom the LORD hath indignation for ever."
      These scriptures indicate that people must be interpreting John 3:16 wrong. It appears as if God is saying He loves his chosen people and his creation generally and not the evil aspects of the world. Verses such as1John 2:15 speak against the world and said not to be friendly with it.
The Bible indicates that God does not know many people personally. "Matthew 7: 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity." If we don't know someone personally how can we love them fully and help them? We may know of them, but not know them personally. For example, if two people are commonly seen on television each of them probably knows that each other exists and what each of them does. However, they do not know and love them to the point that they help and care for each other.
      The Bible also talks about when God leaves or forsakes people. Versus such as Hebrews 13:5 which state ". . . I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee." only appear to apply to the chosen people. The following verse only applies to his people. "1 Samuel 12:22 For the LORD will not forsake his people for his great name's sake: because it hath pleased the LORD to make you his people." The below verses in this paragraph indicate that God does forsake certain people. 2 Chronicles 15:2 And he went out to meet Asa, and said unto him, Hear ye me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin; The LORD [is] with you, while ye be with him; and if ye seek him, he will be found of you; but if ye forsake him, he will forsake you. Jer 23:33 And when this people, or the prophet, or a priest, shall ask thee, saying, What [is] the burden of the LORD? thou shalt then say unto them, What burden? I will even forsake you, saith the LORD. Jer 23:39 Therefore, behold, I, even I, will utterly forget you, and I will forsake you, and the city that I gave you and your fathers, [and cast you] out of my presence: 1 Samuel 16:14 But the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD troubled him."
      The above problems indicate the wrath of God because many Scriptures indicate his wrath towards certain people. One example also quoted above is: Malachi 1:4 Whereas Edom saith, We are impoverished, but we will return and build the desolate places; thus saith the LORD of hosts, They shall build, but I will throw down; and they shall call them, The border of wickedness, and, The people against whom the LORD hath indignation for ever." God may be trying to say that He is very angry at us and all the people we know. During the 40 years in the wilderness with Moses, the Israelites were not satisfied and God was angry with them. He may be saying we need to still be born again, stop being complacent and start searching for the truth.
      We also need to look at the evidence for and against God loving everyone. If someone loves someone it is obvious and noticeable that they care for and help them in their daily needs. The Bible promises that God will do the same to the people He loves. Therefore God should noticeably help the people He loves in the ways described earlier and in the specific examples in the chapter titled “A Powerful Challenge to bring Revival”.
      Instead of the promised help God promises those that He loves, the opposite is happening, where there is relentless, unforeseen, frustrating, chaotic and purposeless problems. There are so many reminders that God may not love us when things relentlessly go wrong with no obvious purpose or positive outcome. For example: losing or forgetting things; not being able to find what we need; having equipment failure; making mistakes and incorrect decisions that prove costly; having accidents; experiencing inconveniences, difficult decisions and sickness; or narrowly missing out on something that we need because we are late.
     The Bible indicates that God will help his chosen people that He loves. The problems described above are not evidence of love, but are evidence of the opposite. Evidence of love would be God helping people with their needs as explained in the chapter titled "A Powerful Challenge to Bring Revival.".
     Hopefully God does love the people we know and myself. If He does love us at the moment, his ways are very hard to understand. However, He may not love us until He is pleased with our actions. Even if this is the case, there is still great hope He will love us one day if we obey him. I am not saying that God definitely does not love us. I am suggesting there is evidence that we should think about. Therefore, we should start searching for and obeying God to increase our chances of finding God so that He will hopefully one day love us and be pleased with us. The danger of teaching that God definitely loves everyone is that it could create complacency and a false belief that unsaved people are going to Heaven.
      For many people thoughts of God's love could be an emotional imagination at times when they are often doing nothing or when events are going well.
      If you can give evidence that God does love and consistently help you in your daily needs like promised in the Bible please contact me. It is important that you read the specific examples of how we need help in our daily needs in the chapter titled “A Powerful Challenge to bring Revival”.

Universal Reconciliation

      The Bible does not teach "universal reconciliation" which is the doctrine that Christ will save everyone. People single out verses like the two mentioned below to build false doctrine. John 12:32 does not necessarily indicate salvation. Just a drawing which many reject. The Bible says in Matthew 22:14 "For many are called, but few [are] chosen." Luke 3:6 could mean that the unbelievers will see how God has saved the believers just before the unbelievers are burnt up in Hell. These verses may only also apply to God's chosen people.
"John 12:32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all [men] unto me.
Luke 3:6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God."

Good News, Genuine Believers and Hell

      The good news is that our lives would probably become much better if we can find genuine Christians and if we can find a better relationship with God.
      Even if nobody we know well are saved there is very strong evidence that we will not be subjected to eternal torture and that Hell may not be any worse than this life for unsaved and unchosen people who sought God and were not willfully wicked. Please see truechristianity.com/christian/helldoctrines.htm
      There is still a high chance that a lot of people will be saved. What I say above in this chapter is only a possibility, but it should be at least thought about and taken seriously, because there is some very strong evidence for it.

Conclusion and Purpose

     If a large number of people were walking with God today, it would mean that many of the Bible verses mentioned in this chapter would have to be false. It appears that only a small number of people are born again or being saved today, and many verses only apply to the small number of God's chosen people. It is possible that there may be less than one hundred born again people alive in the world today. However, the Bible indicates that there will be a much larger number in the near future. However, to avoid complacency, it is important to remember that the evidence in this report indicates that if the status quo prevails, then probably nobody that we know will make it to the kingdom of Heaven.
     People come to me with claims of a supernatural healing or experience, but as far as I know these are only in the minority and these experiences are not consistent like in the days of the Apostles. These cases may not be truly supernatural and they may be false claims. I could spend days studying cases of healings and supernatural claims but it will not solve our problems. The problem is these things always seem to be occurring elsewhere and are rare. Also the people are not contacting me and producing evidence that they really are the people of God. If someone contacts me and wants to come here to give evidence that they are of God and if I am satisfied that they are really a person of God, and are using God's gifts consistently, I will help finance their travel and fund their ministry.
      Many people think that the way to Christ does not work at the moment because they see Christians as disagreeing with other Christians on important doctrines. They also see them as not doing what God wants, and claiming things they can't give evidence for which contradict what is really happening. Unbelievers see some of the worldly people as more caring than the so called Christians. Therefore if we made people aware that all of the people we know may not be true Christians, then unbelievers may see that Christianity must be better than the bad impression that the so called Christians give. Therefore they may want to search for the true Christians that can give evidence that God has a hand in their lives. Many people are atheists and unbelievers because they do not see true believers like the Bible describes. Sharing this chapter could encourage them to search for the truth.
      People who have become disgruntled with their church may realize that it was not a true Christian congregation at all. They may realize that true Christianity is actually good and worth searching for.
      One problem is that many people are satisfied with what they are doing in their Christian ministry. It takes a lot of their time. They don't have the time to study, realize and act on the fact that there is something desperately lacking in what they are teaching compared to what the Bible teaches. Instead of wasting their time going to a lukewarm church which teaches a lukewarm message without all the truth, they would be better off searching for the genuine believers who are truly without a doubt led by the Spirit of God. They could then form a group that would benefit them more. The message that almost all of the Christian churches, ministries and books are teaching may not lead anyone to salvation. There is no point pushing a dead horse. Why not stop what you are doing and search for something genuine with God's power that lines up with all of the Scriptures in the Bible?
      I am happy to change any of this information if it can be proved wrong. I challenge any person believing this information to be wrong to produce the evidence that he or she is really a person of God, and that what he or she is saying is correct. I would like to be able to say that I certainly know of people who are definitely saved and supernaturally led by God.
      Hopefully this chapter will encourage people to search for the truth and become committed. As a result they could lead others into the truth. Then we may achieve the things that we hope for, and there could be a revival. The important thing is not to give up, and to keep trying. We need to motivate people to search for the truth and the truly born again people, because if we do, there is a good chance that we will find them. Then they could lead us to have a close relationship with God. This is important because the evidence in this chapter indicates that we are probably not born again at this stage, and that we have yet to meet anyone who is. Finding true born again believers for fellowship and encouragement will help us enormously.

Remember: Make a change for the better by doing things God's way and not man's way. This report helps you know and avoid the dangers, and do practical things a much better and more efficient way. We could start a great new move of God with much joy, contentment, healing, prosperity & hope.

The First Steps to Salvation

Getting Started

      It is God's will that we worship Jesus who died for mankind. He loves his chosen people so that they may be saved and have eternal life with him in Heaven. Jesus is the Son of God, and the Father wants us to know and worship him as God. He will forgive his chosen people, no matter how bad they have been, if they repent and do His will. We have all sinned and made mistakes but if his chosen people ask him for forgiveness, He will cleanse them of all unrighteousness, if they do not plan to willfully sin. Also, as an act of obedience we should be baptized, pray, seek his will, read the Bible, obey his commandments and join in fellowship. We need to seek and obey God to have a good chance of being chosen.

Why this Site Does not Have More Information

      Some people say that this site should have more information on the first steps to salvation and that it focuses too much on the world and evil and draws attention away from God. I am trying to do the opposite by saying that people are too focused on money and corrupt professions and that they should focus on God. You need to highlight and expose evil to make people aware of it and specifically what it consists of. This is to warn people so that they can either change and repent of being part of the evil system or be wary so that they will not be deceived into being part of it. Many of the Old Testament books were very focused on evil. If they did not inform people what is evil and what is sinful in detail how can we expect people to repent of their sins?
      The solution is to show what the problems are so that people can make an effort to change them. If you don't clearly define the problems people will not know how to change for the better.
      More detailed information on the first steps to salvation can be found on most Christian sites. Also, most people who are searching for the truth know about it anyway. Very few sites highlight the other important information on this site, so I feel the need to focus on this information to inform people of what they do not know. That is not to say that the first steps to salvation are less important. If I focus more on the first steps of salvation it will dilute the information that I am focusing on and many people may stop reading. This is because people may think that this is just another Christian site only about the first steps to salvation.

Remember: Make a change for the better by doing things God's way and not man's way. This report helps you know and avoid the dangers, and do practical things a much better and more efficient way. We could start a great new move of God with much joy, contentment, healing, prosperity & hope.

There are Many Things to Think Positive About

     There are plenty of things that we should be positive about and praise God for, despite the struggles. Often we have struggles to make us a stronger character and a stronger Christian. Maybe, often we do things that we then later find were a mistake, but through this God is teaching us. For example, I once lived to seek money through the mainstream system, as I believed that was a major purpose of life. God may have allowed me to pursue this to show me that it is not the best way to live life. I believe God is saying that the current system is wrong and that there is a much better way of living which would result in a better life for everyone. I was then led to the system explained in the next chapter that can benefit many people.
     I searched for paid work but could find nothing suitable. I also tried network marketing, which promised everything but actually gave little. I spent many years of hard work inventing a large number of products at advantagein.com . Inventing useful ideas or products is beneficial. But as with most small businesses you cannot expect to make a profit. Almost all inventors fail to make a profit from their invention. These facts are explained later. In my autobiography, there is more information on the facts, ideas and products I have discovered.
     I think that I have found the answer, a far superior system where we can positively encourage others and see that everyone succeeds. This will be explained later.
     It would be great to start a group where we can all positively do God's will and not encourage worldly things. If we can form such a group, there may be great moves of God like in the days of the Apostles that are not seen in any churches that I know of. There is much hope that great things will still happen. It would be wonderful to see people being healed and converted in the Lord's presence.
     At the same time we should refrain from evil. Instead we should love people and encourage their repentance from evil so that they can do positive godly things. The Bible condemns evil but it is also about praise, positive things and the hope for a glorious life to come for those who believe. God's word is about faith, hope and love.

Remember: Make a change for the better by doing things God's way and not man's way. This report helps you know and avoid the dangers, and do practical things a much better and more efficient way. We could start a great new move of God with much joy, contentment, healing, prosperity & hope.

Solutions. A Great New System and Group

The Solution

      The solution is to form an efficient system like one developed by the Apostles, where the group works hard to do God's will, doesn't willfully spend time or money on unnecessary things and shares so that all the people are well off. We need to form a group that would mix with unbelievers, to minister to and help them. But we should not yoke with them by working with or living with the same unbelievers for a significant period of time. We should move on as Jesus and the Apostles moved on to witness to other unbelievers.

Finding Genuine Believers

     One of many things our organization could do is locate and study groups or individuals that practice True Christianity. Fellowship with committed Christians will help us grow enormously. There may be true Christians or true Christian gatherings out there as committed as the Apostles who can give evidence that they are divinely led by God and use his supernatural power. Many counterfeit organizations claim this. The challenge is to find and prove who are the genuine believers and expose corruption, counterfeit churches and false doctrines so that people can be warned.

Preventing Corruption

      Members could study and warn of false evangelists who weaken Christians and subtly encourage worldly living. There is strong evidence proving that some evangelists are influenced by the Vatican and are members of the Illuminati and freemasons. Please see the reference page for more information.
      It is important for our Christian organization to maintain an untarnished, hard working, accountable and honest image. If people in our group are willfully lazy, corrupt or rebellious they should be expelled if they do not repent. Members would vote on a controversial decision such as to expel a member or what is necessary or unnecessary. There would have to be checks and balances in place to regulate the behaviors of the people in our group. We need to be wary that any organization can gain corrupt members so it is important to carefully scrutinize them.
      A fair court system could be used where the judges and juries are carefully monitored. In the Bible they had judges and priests led by God to make the correct decisions. If we can find true believers who can produce evidence that they are led by God, the decisions should be correct.

Leaving a Corrupt System for Something Better

      Our group could also work for many interesting professions to benefit the community, which would use suppressed technology that enables much more efficient and honest work compared to the corrupt mainstream workforce. Believers working for the mainstream corrupt system could change to a similar, uncorrupted occupation. This would allow Christians more freedom, opportunities and time to both meet and witness to more people. Also, they would do things in a better and more efficient way than the corrupt system permits. They would not be influenced by bad company. Therefore our members could convert more people and prove God's system really works while avoiding the corrupt world system. If Believers remain in the corrupt economic world system, they give the impression that it is fine for Christians to live in this manner. Information and Bible references are found in the chapter titled "Yoking With Unbelievers."
      We are not to follow the mainstream's evil practices. Instead of using our talents to work for Satan's system, we should use them for good, godly purposes. In the Bible those in mainstream professions in the corrupt system were considered as sick, evil or suspect sinners (Matthew 9: 9-13, Luke 20:46). You can use your gifts and hobbies for God's will and enjoy it.

More Efficient and Godly Professions

      Christianity is not just about sharing, distributing information, caring and praying for people. A Christian gathering, church or community may need the services of many useful professions. However, our organization would not follow the corrupt system, in which people obey to avoid ridicule and losing their job. Instead, our system would use the best-known methods and volunteer, share and not worry about money. The main focus would be to do God's will, which may be teaching the gospel, helping the needy and purchasing tools (e.g. computer or car) if they're necessary for God's will. Expensive things are fine if they are a necessary expense. But often it is an unnecessary expense with many items like fashions which are to show off.
      There are plenty of exciting things that people could do, such as researching truths that have been suppressed. There is probably a much more efficient and beneficial way to do almost everything. More beneficial technology does exist, but has been suppressed so that existing monopolies profit enormously and remain unthreatened. There is so much to read, especially on the Internet. Unless there is divine intervention it is impossible for one person to find the best methods, do God's ministry and manage the system effectively. The solution is to form an association that could communicate via the Internet or phone. Believers may work from their own homes in their own time, which would be more efficient and less stressful. Some may move together for more direct contact. We could find and communicate with people who have suppressed technologies, which are better than those publicly available. We may benefit from their technologies and convince the skeptics who may even join our group. These people who have invented suppressed technologies would often be poor, unfortunate, clever, hard working and honest, so they may be willing to help. A list of reliable Christian people and services could be formed so that believers would be led to the best people and services.
      More efficient systems would mean that people would be better off both health-wise and financially. Some examples of exciting beneficial things include better and more efficient: weather forecasts; scientific discoveries; natural, drug free medical cures; energy systems; disaster avoidance; improved learning and teaching methods. Imagine how much less stress, bad company and workplace bullying would happen. Instead there would be more joy, contentment, work interest, happiness and honest friendships.

Remember: Make a change for the better by doing things God's way and not man's way. This report helps you know and avoid the dangers, and do practical things a much better and more efficient way. We could start a great new move of God with much joy, contentment, healing, prosperity & hope.

Workforce Problems and Solutions

      A lot of paid occupations are good and deserve credit. However, there is evidence that most occupations in the workforce are not good due to the system's inefficiency, corruption and unnecessary work. People do not realize this. We need a better, fairer system and workforce.
      Many occupations do not work for beneficial or godly purposes. They promote unnecessary or evil products and services. They teach and encourage selfishness, pride and a lust for money and the world. They involve misleading and deceiving people into worldly things that lead people away from God. Therefore, many jobs are doing more harm than good.
      Many people who work for the corrupt system are honest, intelligent people who work hard. They could change the world if they worked for a better system. I respect many of them as friends. As they are subtly deceived we need to show them love and reveal a better system to them.
      Much of the workforce is losing efficiency as people are forced to work longer hours and less staff are employed. Such manipulation is causing many problems, from accidents to fatigue. If the workforce is doing the things that God does not want, and you are working together with unbelievers or forced to work long stressful hours that are taking your focus away from God, it would be best to go elsewhere. You could still keep a similar profession if it is beneficial to society.
      The problem is that most people are seeking a career that is corrupted, which provides excess money, instead of a volunteer one which would be much better, more enjoyable and more efficient for the community. Instead of the current professions in the corrupt system, which are highly inefficient, people could simply leave them and do almost the same thing that they are interested in which uses their existing skills.
      For example, a teacher could leave the mainstream system to work for a True Christian school.
      A scientist could research the best known methods instead of the accepted inefficient ones that will bring profit to corrupt corporations.
     Someone in an employment agency could organize and encourage people to volunteer to help others in a Christian environment, instead of pushing them to work for excessive money in a corrupt system. Otherwise, they could be judged to be misleading people into hastening to get rich quick which often causes people to lose money and end up in poverty. "Proverbs 28:22 He that hasteth to be rich hath an evil eye, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him."
      A government nurse or health worker in a non-Christian organization could start researching and using suppressed cures, instead of using the mainstream system's way of dangerous drugs or methods.
      A member of parliament could change from being part of a mainstream political party to become an independent.
      A meteorologist could start an Internet network of home-based weather stations, sky cameras and forecasters that would supply more information more efficiently and reliably than the weather bureau. I am trying to do this.
      Believers need to leave the secular, degenerate educational system, which promotes deception, unnecessary information and greed. Instead they should study things that are useful and interesting. A wider choice is needed.

Useful Occupations

      It could be fine to do a useful paid job such as making tents if you were offered the job in a non-corrupt system where you either work with believers or by yourself. This is so long as you use the money for God's will. On the other hand in today's society it would appear wrong to seek and apply through the corrupt system for a paid occupation such as a tent maker. This is because you would have to compete for the occupation, which could be judged as desiring money. Also, the workforce is so corrupt and inefficient and involves yoking with unbelievers. Workplace bullying is very common and destroys many lives. Seeking paid occupations is also such a gamble. Good paid positions are hard to find. Many people who have focused on trying to get a paid occupation have searched for years without finding one that is suitable. As a result it has often destroyed their lives. One reason for this is because they would be classed as unemployed people who are often discriminated against and suffer low self esteem. Also, it would cost them large sums of money and time to make applications. As a result they could be deep in debt and unable to repay people who helped them.
      Some people who are doing useful things that are financially profitable could continue them if they are not working in a corrupt system or yoked with unbelievers. This would help fund the ministry. People in professions may be better off working part time to enable a balanced life with plenty of time used for God and helping other people. But the majority could do full-time volunteer work for God.
     It is also possible that Paul may have not been making tents for money. He may have done it voluntarily to help someone.

Small Businesses

      Statistics at http://advantagein.com/statistics.htm indicate that approximately 95% of small businesses fail to make a profit. Initially, most of them would expect to make a profit. The problem is in a corrupt system seeking money is like gambling where you mostly lose. If the system was different this would not be the case.
      Even though small businesses are not directly working for the system, they are often tempted or forced to do ungodly things such as collect tax, compete, be yoked with unbelievers and seek excess money. If you could legally avoid these things most of the time it would be fine to offer useful goods and services for the community in a business.
      Useful small business would be good to get into in a better system. But in the present system to succeed financially in most businesses one would probably have to deal with an unchristian company or have unchristian shareholders invest money in one's company. Unfortunately the people with the most money are mostly corrupt, and invest in many companies so that they can control them. Most inventors have been either ignored or detrimentally exploited by fraudulent companies. I believe that God seems to be saying that we should do his ministry instead of praying to succeed financially.
      Therefore, in the current system it would appear wrong to seek to start a small business where you need to consistently rely on the corrupt system to generate a profit. However, if you are already in a small business that is doing a good service, it would probably be fine to stay in it so long as it does not take too much of your time, or force you to disobey God.
      For example, years ago I started a business making and selling inventions. However, looking back, it was probably the wrong decision due to the difficulty of making a profit and the amount of time it took. However, I still have the business at advantagein.com, but I do not put much time into it any more even though the products are very useful and can benefit many people. Society is so mislead that they often buy poorer quality products from large companies who have the money to advertise with. This gives the large companies an unfair advantage. But I am still leaving the business site on the Internet in case a good person is interested in investing in it or distributing the products. People can currently buy the products which I can get made up. However, they would be cheaper if I had someone to invest in, market and manufacture them on a large scale. I could dedicate all my time and the rest of my life to search for investors, marketers and manufacturers and not find anyone suitable who is interested. It is a gamble in the current system to succeed in small businesses. Hopefully one day God will guide me to find the people I need.
      I do support useful small businesses. We would be better off with small businesses providing jobs and goods for people than the corrupt multinationals which often have poor quality services and products.

What Jesus Said

     Satan mixes good with evil to deceive people that the system is good. Many things look good on the surface but underneath they are doing more harm than good. For example, many things save lives, but destroy the quality of life and the spirit.
     Back in the time of Christ the tax collectors or publicans were considered evil and part of the world. Jesus indicated they were sick and needed converting. The disciples who were tax collectors gave their professions away to do God's work. Matthew 9: 9 And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him. 10 And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples. 11 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners? 12 But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick. 13 But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
     It must have been widely known that it was wrong to work for a corrupt system in Jesus' time. According to the Pharisees, tax collectors were considered to be so bad that they had no hope of salvation. The Pharisees indicated that Jesus should stay away from tax collectors as if they had no hope of being saved. Tax collectors were still needed as God said to pay taxes. However, it seemed that it was not for Christians to become tax collectors. The disciples (like Matthew) who worked for corrupt professions immediately left them upon conversion. Many of the so-called Christians today could be seen by Jesus as being much sicker than the tax collectors.

Charging Money Suppresses and Discriminates

      The mainstream system asks for dollars to be paid for almost everything. This suppresses information, goods and services and hence prevents them from reaching those in need. This is because the items would be unaffordable for many people. The system discriminates against the needy and creates greed and poverty. Currently, people either need to be carrying money or risk large financial losses if they are using credit cards. This creates hassle and wastes time due to bookwork, posting checks and transactions. If individuals had to pay to see my web sites, I would be lucky to get one reader per month. Instead I get over 100 per day and people can donate if they wish. Often those selling products not only fail to get their material or service to benefit society but, also, mostly fail to make a profit. However, we should offer people money or barter something in return for their help. Our group could make things freely available to those in need, which would make people grateful and want to help in return. The Apostles did not desire money for themselves but worked hard to benefit others. They shared their wealth generously. It is hard to find people today that follow in these paths. If you know of any, please let me know.

Facts and Statistics on the World System

     All statistics and facts stated are referenced at http://www.advantagein.com/statistics.htm
     The Bible clearly teaches that although there is a minority of true Christian organizations and people, the world's system is evil, and an abomination to God. Ezekiel and Jeremiah are only some of the books in which this is evident. The Bible also says it will be worse in these last days. The danger is that many so called Christians are part of this system and doing the same things as the majority of unbelievers. Many things that man teaches to be good are actually evil. They look to be good in most nominal Christians eyes, but actually they could lead people away from God. It is important to warn people of the dangers of evil, as the prophets did in the times of Noah, Lot, Ezekiel and Jeremiah.
     Something must be wrong when approximately 90% of the world's population are worse off financially than the average pensioner, while at the same time the richest 5% are seeking to earn more money for themselves. Wealth distribution is totally corrupt, because the most honest, hard working, ambitious, intelligent and innovative Christian people may be poor, while lazy and corrupt people may be rich.
     People are conditioned to be positive even if they are working for the world's system, despite the fact that they are often disobeying God, and that things are going wrong. In these cases, often people have to lie to be positive. They therefore encourage others to follow suit. Other people are therefore lured into the mainstream system. This includes the commonly known; workforce, education system, churches and the pursuing of material goods and popular things. People even pray for people to make excess money in the world system, instead of encouraging them to work for God. It is dangerous to indicate that things are better than they really are. To succeed financially in the world system you often have to be on the same wavelength as the world, and therefore risk corruption by it. We need to be positive about godly things instead.

Remember: Make a change for the better by doing things God's way and not man's way. This report helps you know and avoid the dangers, and do practical things a much better and more efficient way. We could start a great new move of God with much joy, contentment, healing, prosperity & hope.

Be Wary of Doubtful Doctrines Including Ones on Hell

Introduction

      People often only focus on one or two verses, and accept what man has taught them instead of what is in the Bible. They don't study the whole picture with an open mind and use logic. As a result they pass on biased one-sided doctrine, which causes divisions amongst believers and causes people to turn away from God. If we want to believe in something controversial we must study both sides of the argument, and do thorough research. Also, we need to think about what we study and see what is logical. This is especially important if one wants to teach the subject. Otherwise they can do damage. In this chapter I have one example that I have researched before. This subject troubled me because people taught me the opposite of what strong evidence suggests. It may be important for people to read this evidence as it could stop them believing or teaching false doctrine and turning people off God. I thought it is important to place this side of the story in this chapter, as many people have not heard it. People have a right to hear things from different angles. This may increase people's love for God and cause them to realize that God is more loving than they have been taught. The best way to avoid deception is to have an open mind.
      The purpose of this report is to reduce divisions, as many people cause them by teaching that Hell is definitely eternal torture and that it is definitely worse than earth for all people who go there. This is a side issue, which can be distracting like many other doubtful doctrines. It is insignificant compared to the other important doctrines on my site, which resume in the next chapter. I therefore don't encourage people to get involved with this chapter. It is probably best to leave issues like this alone when the Bible is not clear on them. We certainly should not teach doctrines are likely if they are not in the Bible. At one stage I wrote information on this subject and did not upload it, however, I felt being prompted again and again to include it. If I did not put this information on my sites some people may assume that I am suggesting God is creating almost all people to be subtly deceived and to be eternally tortured, as there may be a similar percentage saved today as in Noah's time. If people get this impression it would indicate an unfair, cruel, unloving God, which would turn people away from Christianity. If people did not teach the eternal torture theory, which gives this impression, I would not include this chapter.

Hell Misinterpreted in Scripture

      The Bible is not at all clear on the severity or the length of the torment in Hell. Many Bible verses indicate that Hell is not eternal torture, and none state that there is eternal torture. If eternal torture were true it would mean that we are to discard some Bible verses. This is forbidden, as all scripture is given by the inspiration of God (2 Tim 3:16, Rev 22:18,19). The Bible also does not say that Hell will be worse than earth is for all people who do not make it to Heaven.
      Hell could well be much worse for every unbeliever, so we must fear the fact that God could send us there and respond by doing His will. We must warn others with concern for their souls. There will be a period of torment before eternal death for unbelievers.
      In Jude 1:7, Sodom and Gomorrha were examples of the suffering of the vengeance of eternal fire. This would have to mean that they would be completely destroyed and never rebuilt. Generally cities are rebuilt after destruction but these cities were not rebuilt and never will be. The cities are not on fire today but the effects of the fire are eternal. "Jude 1:7 - 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."
     In like manner the term everlasting punishment or everlasting destruction would mean the effects of the punishment or the destruction for unbelievers are complete and eternal. They will be denied life with no chance of ever gaining life again. Eternal shame and death is an everlasting punishment. If God's word is consistent with Jude 1:7, it does not mean that people will be tortured for eternity or even burn for eternity. "An example" is something that is obvious to everyone and it was obvious to everyone that the fire went out. Everlasting punishment (Matthew 25:46) could mean eternal death, which is eternal separation from God and punishment.
     The word "ever" does not always mean eternity. It can mean eon or a long period of time, or age lasting in the concordance. When the age is eternal or the subject is immortal it means eternity. However, there are cases in the Bible where it meant a period during a person's life until they died. In Exodus 21:2 a slave was to serve his master for ever. Jonah was in the fishes belly for ever. "Jonah 2:6 - I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars was about me for ever: yet hast thou brought up my life from corruption, O LORD my God." Only the Beast, the False Prophet and Satan are said to be tormented forever and ever (Rev 20:10). It does not say this about all the people who are not saved.
      In Ecclesiastes 9 it states: "Verse 4 - For the living know that they will die; But the dead know nothing, And they have no more reward, For the memory of them is forgotten. 5 For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten. 6 Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun. 10 Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest."
     Generally if someone states something in error in the Bible it is rebuked and corrected by either God or a man lead by God at a later time. This verse is not rebuked by anyone, therefore why should people say it is wrong. Jesus talked about the wisdom of Solomon (Matthew 12:42, Luke 11:31).

Three meanings for Hell

     In the Hebrew and Greek, words that mean three different things are translated into the English word Hell. One is the grave, the Greek word Hades or the Hebrew word Sheol. As explained later both Christians and non-Christians sleep there until the resurrection. "Psalm 16:10 - For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell (Sheol); neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption." This indicates that David will be in Sheol for a period of time.
     In some cases Sheol refers to being close to death when persons are overcome with sorrow. In Jonah 2:2, Jonah felt pain when he was close to death. He was a man of God. In Sheol where suffering of the soul is referred to, it is not for after death, apart from maybe when the wicked are resurrected. In Genesis 37:35 when Jacob thought that Joseph was dead he said: "For I will go down into the grave (Sheol) unto my son mourning. Thus his father wept for him."
     The second Hell is Tartaros. It is a restraining place for demons until the day of judgment. It is translated to Hell in 2 Peter 2:4. The Bible does not say this place is for people.
     The third Hell is Gehenna. It is a historical place that is a valley near Jerusalem which was a garbage dump where bodies were burnt (Jeremiah 7:31-8:3, 19:1-13). "Mark 9:43 … the fire that never shall be quenched:"    The fire was not quenched or deliberately put out, but it did go eventually go out by itself just like the fire that was not quenched in Jerusalem in Jeremiah 52:13.

Worms in Hell

     It is likely that Gehenna near Jerusalem will be the future Hell of fire. Maggots or worms lived on corpses and did not die before hatching into flies. See Isaiah 66:24 and Mark 9:43-48. Literal worms fed on the wicked. "Job 24:20 - The womb shall forget him; the worm shall feed sweetly on him; he shall be no more remembered; and wickedness shall be broken as a tree. Acts 12:23 … he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost."
      Quote: (Reference 1)     "Smith's Bible Dictionary gives a description of this valley. If anything, especially a dead body, landed on a ledge above the fires, it would be devoured by many worms or maggots that were kept alive by the animal and vegetable substances deposited there.
      It was to these worms that Christ was referring when he said, "Their worm dieth not." (Mark 9:43-48)."    
End Quote (1).

Different Punishments for Different People

     The Bible speaks of many different groups of which some are severely punished, while others do not have their punishment stated. Punishment for one group does not mean all unbelievers suffer this punishment. For example, Rev 14: 9-11 is only referring to those who worship the Beast and his image.

Eternal Death is Not Eternal Torture

      God repeatedly offered people a choice of eternal life or death. The Bible often speaks of death after varying degrees of punishment for unbelievers, which is the opposite of eternal life (Romans 6:23, Rev 2:11, Rev 20:14, James 5: 20). Eternal torture would also have to be eternal life, as you have to be alive to feel pain. Where does the Bible say unbelievers have eternal life? Death and darkness indicate the opposite.
     People will feel torment for a period of time, as did the rich man who did not help Lazarus, (Luke 16:23-26) but this time could be very short for some who narrowly missed out on the Kingdom of Heaven. We don't know what those who narrowly miss out on going to Heaven will feel. These verses in Luke 16 certainly do not say that Hell is eternal torture. All we know is the rich man is in torment for a period of time. If it is literal it most likely refers to the anguish and pain upon the resurrection to judgment in which the rich man would not realize he had been asleep for thousands of years and that his brothers had died. It could also be a near death experience or the sorrows of Sheol (Psalm 116:3 and explained earlier). This near death experience could be much worse for unbelievers. There is also evidence that Luke 16 is a parable. What supports this possibility is that the rich man would want more than just a drip of water for his tongue and that Heaven would be misery if it's occupants could see their loved ones suffering on the other side of the gulf. Also, the rich man answers to Abraham, which contradicts 1 Timothy 2:5. Apart from some exceptions, no humans are in Heaven yet as the resurrection has not yet occurred. The exceptions are Eliza (2 Kings 2:11) and maybe Moses which is described in Matthew 17:1-8, Jude 9 and 1 Thessalonians 4:16. Also, Enoch (Gen 5:24) could be another possibility.
      Some people also say that all people are eternal beings, but where does the Bible say that, and if that was so, where were you when God created the world, and what could you remember then? God is eternal not man. God created man in his own image but not to be eternal like God. If we were also eternal we would be like God. Some modern Bible translations, which are not word for word translations, have a bias towards the immortal soul for unbelievers. No Scriptures say that dead souls are conscious or that the unbeliever's soul is immortal. "Ezekiel 18:4 … the soul that sinneth, it shall die.    James 5:20 - Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins."
     Quote: (Reference 1)    "Notice that God offered Adam and Eve life on the one hand, and death on the other. Adam and Eve would not have been offered LIFE if they already were immortal souls. Man was created mortal and in need of eternal life from God through his Spirit. In the garden of Eden, he told man the way that would lead to eternal life. Then he told man that going the wrong way - the way of selfishness and greed - would lead to DEATH (Gen. 2:17). But Satan, the father of lies (John 8:44), told the woman, Ye shall not surely die" (Gen. 3:4). "You have an immortal soul." Man has been believing that lie about the immortal soul ever since!"    End Quote (1).
      Many people wrongfully think Daniel 12:2 refers to eternal torture. Daniel 12:2 - And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. At http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=contempt contempt means "The feeling or attitude of regarding someone or something as inferior, base, or worthless; scorn. The state of being despised or dishonored; disgrace. Open disrespect or willful disobedience of the authority of a court of law or legislative body." This does not mean torture. Their names will be a shame forever even though they have been annihilated.

Eternal Torture Doctrine From Pagan Philosophers

      Pagan philosophers had an influence on the church.
Quote: (Reference 1)   "Plato was a pagan Greek philosopher, born in Athens, 427 B.C., a student of Socrates. He wrote the famous book Phaedo, on the immortality of the soul, and this book is the real origin of the modern belief in the immortality of the soul.
      The Encyclopedia Americana states further: "The main features of hell as conceived by Hindu, Persian, Egyptian, Grecian and Christian theologians are essentially the same. The Western religious leaders from Roman times through the Middle Ages borrowed the doctrine of eternal torture from the pagan philosophers. Certain writers of the Middle Ages had such tremendous influence on the Christian-professing world, that their writings and teachings came to be generally accepted and believed, until it became the doctrine of the Christian-professing world. Among these influential writers were Augustine and Dante Alighieri."

Destruction and Annihilation

      The Bible often uses the word destroy and destruction when referring to souls. In Matt 13:30 and Matt 7:19, destruction is compared to annihilation of branches and tares. Some verses indicating complete destruction or annihilation are:   "Psalm 146:4 - His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.     Psalm 112:10 - The wicked shall see it, and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.     Psalm 104:35 - Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless thou the LORD, O my soul. Praise ye the LORD.     Psalm 37:20 - But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the Lord shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away.    Mal 4:1- For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.     Mal 4:3 - And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do [this], saith the LORD of hosts.     Matthew 10:28 - . . . fear him which is able to DESTROY both soul and body in Hell [GEHENNA].     Psalm 73:18 - Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them down into destruction. 19 How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors.    Psalm 9:5 - Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.  6  O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them.     Obadiah 1:16 - For as ye have drunk upon my holy mountain, so shall all the heathen drink continually, yea, they shall drink, and they shall swallow down, and they shall be as though they had not been.
     Under Moses' Law, people were punished with the equivalent of what they had done. (Exodus 21:24-30, Leviticus 24:20-21, Deuteronomy 19:21). Humans can't give anyone everlasting torment, so under this law no one should receive everlasting torment. We are to treat each other better than the law (Matthew 5:38-39).
     The below two verses say the punishment will be an everlasting destruction and separation from the Lord.     "2 Thessalonians 1:8 - In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: 9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from (abo - of separation) the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;"
     However, the below verse indicates the punishment is in the presence of the Lamb. If souls were tormented for eternity, the above verses would contradict the below ones. The only explanation is that they are tormented in the presence of the lamb and then they are destroyed in the second death and are separated from God where there is no torment. Torment is in the presence of God. This will change when they are removed from God's presence.     "Rev 14:10 - The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:"
     Those who worship the Beast and his Image will be tormented, and then the smoke of their torment will rise forever and ever (Rev 14: 9 - 11). It must also be noted that this verse is talking about the duration of smoke and not necessarily the period of time the wicked will suffer. Smoke can rise for a very long time after a fire has ceased. Babylon's smoke will rise forever and ever but Babylon will also be found no more according to the below two verses.     "Revelation 19:3 - And again they said, Alleluia And her smoke rose up for ever and ever.     Revelation 18:21 - And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all."

A New Beginning
     
Revelation 21:1 - And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. 4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neithershall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.     1 Corinthians 15:26 - The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death."
   If unbelievers were still conscious and spiritually dead there would still be death.    "Isaiah 25:8 - He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken it.     Isaiah 41:11 - Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish. 12 Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that contended with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought.     2 Peter 2:12 - But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption;"    The time of perishing and the final end for the wicked is the second death. It is most likely that the above verse is referring to this. The wicked are compared to beasts. This is most likely suggesting that consciousness ends for the wicked as it does for beasts.     "Ezekiel 28:17 - Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee. 18 Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee. 19 All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more."

Unfair to Eternally Torture Subtly Deceived Souls
     
God is a loving God of mercy, yet many people may go to Hell when it is not fully their fault. For example, people may have been confused, not accepting the Bible due to the number of different interpretations, arguments, different churches and religions. Also, they may not be saved because they never heard the gospel, or sought God without finding him and then became angry with God when their prayers were not answered.
      Often weak people are subtly deceived by the Devil. They are unintentionally doing the wrong thing. If they are honest, caring people, why should they be eternally tortured? The Bible indicates in several places that the Devil has deceived the majority, so the mainstream is wrong. They are following the doctrines of man and not the doctrines of God. They are twisting the Scriptures. Heaven may not be enjoyable if you knew your relations and friends were being tortured for eternity. If a friend or family member is suffering, often we may feel pain ourselves.
      It does not seem right for a loving God to keep creating people when it is almost certain that they will be deceived and tortured for eternity. If torture was eternal, why would God want us to have children anyway, and wouldn't it be best for a baby to die so that it can have peace instead of eternal torture when it grows up? God is supposed to be a positive God who hates evil. It is more positive to say that people are created for an opportunity to have eternal life, instead of saying God is creating almost everyone for eternal torture.
     If there is eternal torture wouldn't the Bible say both servants in Luke 12:47- 48 are beaten for eternity? Instead they have a limited number of lashings.
     Doesn't teaching that eternal torture is certain attack the loving nature of Christ and makes Him appear to be a cruel monster? It could be considered as evil doctrine in God's sight. I feel closer and more loving to God when believing that He is a fair God than I did while believing He was an unfair one. Isn't this what God wants?
     The information at truechristianity.com/christian/saved.htm gives very strong evidence and many Scriptures indicating that a very small number of people alive today are born again. Perhaps, there may only be about 8 people, which was the number saved in Noah's time. The Bible indicates that when Jesus returns it will be similar to the days of Noah as explained on the above page. If this is so it will indicate that a lot of committed people seeking God will not be chosen. This could include you and I and everybody we know. It does not seem right that a loving God would want to eternally torture people who did good things, sought God and tried to do his will.

Quotes and Translation Errors

     I have had a question on my forum for a while asking: "Do you believe that all unbelievers burn in hell and are tormented forever?" Obviously some people say eternal torture is true. But others write to me and give strong evidence against it. They say it turns people off God instead of causing them to believe. Therefore, the theory can do harm. Below is an extract that someone wrote on my forum.
     Quote: (Reference 2)    "The Bible clearly says that nonbelievers will not suffer throughout eternity. I have written a book on this subject and the whole thing is on my website: Title Page: God is not Sadistic! Nonbelievers will rise to face judgment, will suffer then cease to exist. I would love to have long discussion on the subject. We can show anything in the Bible we want if we only look at a few verses and ignore the rest of the Bible. However, we must analyze all Scripture. Preaching everlasting torment turns people away from God, instead of scaring them into believing. It also causes unnecessary grief to Christians. We must show the fairness of God who offers the choice of life or death. We must make our beliefs conform to the Bible. Instead, people have been brainwashed into believing that the soul is eternal and they twist the Scripture to conform to that assumption. This totally contradicts the Bible. I look forward to long discussion on this subject with anyone willing to rigorously study what the Bible has to say on the Subject."     End quote (2).
      In the below verse of the King James, the word "are" is added and is a translation error. It does not appear in the Greek. "Rev 20:10 - And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet (are), and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever."
      The below verse indicates that unbelievers will be denied life as a punishment. "John 3:36 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." Even if God maintained the wrath forever it does not mean torture. You can remain angry at something or your wrath could remain about something that has been annihilated or dead. God may still be angry at Sodom and Gomorrha. Death does not necessarily mean annihilation. It means the ceasing of life. 1 Corinthians 15: 53, 54 refer to how the believers will change from being mortal to immortal. They will have eternal life. This is not talking about the fate of unbelievers.

Soul Sleep

     Both unbelievers and believers souls will sleep unconsciously in Sheol or Hades before they are resurrected and judged. Many more verses indicate this than are listed below. In Acts 7:60 Stephen fell asleep when he died. Also, consider these verses. "John 11:11 - These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.     1 Thessalonians 4:13 - But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, …15 … the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep."
     The wicked also slept in Sheol or Hades. "1 Kings 15:1-3 - … Abijam … walked in all the sins of his father …     1 Kings 15:8 - And Abijam slept with his fathers; and they buried him …     Daniel 12:2 - And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.     Job 14:12 - So man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep."
     In 1 Samuel 28 Saul used a lady with a familiar spirit to wake Samuel from sleep, as he was dead. Samuel said to Saul that he would be with him. "1 Samuel 28:19 … tomorrow shalt thou and thy sons be with me…" Therefore Samuel and Saul were going to be in the same place. At this stage before the resurrection they both would be in Sheol and would not be separated into a places of paradise and suffering.

Conclusion

      Perhaps God is not making this subject very clear so that people who do not carefully study the Bible will not become complacent. A father will strongly warn his Children, but not normally take action in the cruelest way his words could be interpreted. He loves his children and wants to frighten them into doing what He commands.
     It is important not to get tied to this issue because it will take your time away from the important things to learn and teach. However, it is important to keep an open mind and not believe or teach doubtful or false doctrine.

A Powerful Challenge to Bring Revival

Introduction

      This chapter gives specific and practical examples of the things which we consistently need divine help for. It also gives specific ways that people can prove if God is definitely in their lives. Sharing this chapter would encourage people to become more committed, realize the truth, and search for the truly born again believers. Then they could help us to find or walk with God. The benefits would be enormous if we could walk with God so that He can help us in the ways described below.
      I challenge anyone to contact me if he or she doesn't agree with this information and has had a supernatural experience with God. As explained in earlier chapters, the Bible says that there should be a dramatic and measurable difference between the believers and unbelievers. Believers are promised answered prayer and a greater percentage of desirable outcomes than the ungodly receive, or what the laws of probability would suggest. This happened to the apostles. It is promised in the Bible because God says He will help his people in their daily needs. Obvious evidence of a powerful God occurred for the apostles and it is still promised to occur in the lives of the Godly people today. However, nobody we know has produced evidence to us that God helps them in the areas described below. If you claim that God answers your prayers, can you produce evidence that it is really God's influence in your life, and not just natural desirable outcomes. You need to remember that rare healings and other desirable outcomes can happen naturally for unbelievers.
      You would think that if persons were led by God as some claim, those persons would be supernaturally led to contact us and pray with us so that we would find what we seek and make the correct decisions. They should also be able to contact us and advise us of the exact people who can help. Also, everything these persons claim the Holy Spirit says should be correct. Otherwise they are either false prophets or do not know the voice of God. They should be able to pray for us so we can be healed or so that we can have a closer relationship with God.
      If these people who have claimed supernatural contact with God and miraculous healings say that their prayers do make a difference, they should be motivated to go to areas in the world where people are seeking God and need a revival. Jesus said to go to those in need and preach the gospel to the entire world. We need people to join us to minister and pray for people in our area such as in hospitals. I challenge the people of God who claim that supernatural things are happening today to visit or work with us. If that is not possible, we can still communicate and pray together so that we can find the people who can help. My local friends and I are from Australia, but I communicate with other people around the world who also need similar help. I can refer them to you. We are happy to help people with their travel expenses, if they can prove what they claim, and if we are very satisfied with their ministry. We also need someone to briefly work with us and we are happy to pay them in order to complete a few projects.
      If God is truly guiding someone, they should be able to defy Murphy's Law and be divinely led to what or who we need so they are convenient and available. There should be less frustrating problems. As a result your work should be more efficient than an unbeliever.
      You would think that somebody truly led by God should be able to pray for the names and contacts of the people in the world that can help us. Then when I contact those people they should all be the correct people to help. If someone claims that God led them to a decision it should always be correct.
     If anyone claims that it is truly God guiding them and not just their imagination, they should be able to produce the evidence. There are a 5 examples of how to do this below.
1. One way would be if we gave them a choice of the difficult decisions we need to make.
They should then be able to pray and get an answer from God and the answer should always be correct. For example, if we lost something and gave those led by God a choice of possible locations where the lost item is, they should be able to give us it's correct location.
2. If we needed some technical advice, the people of God should be able to pray so that God leads them to the correct decision or to people who can help. Their choice should always be correct, if they claim that God is leading them.
3. If some equipment has a technical fault that is hard to find and repair, someone that is led by God should be able to pray with us and hear from God the cause of problems and how best to solve them. If the answers are from God they should be correct.
4. We need people to help achieve projects, such as promoting groups or services to benefit the community. We could spend all of our lives searching for and trying different people, but then find they were not helpful. Many people appear good, but can actually do you a lot of harm. You would think that the people truly led by God would be able to direct us to the correct people that we needed. One example is we need people to come to Australia to work with myself or my friends that are also seeking God.
5. The people who claim to be led by God should be able to pray for us so that we will know God's will, and have the desire to do it. They should be able to pray that we will eaily be able to find what we need to do it and it should be available. If they are truly led by God, their prayers should be answered as promised in the Bible.
     The Bible commands us to pray for others and their needs, so do you, or do you know of anyone who would take up these challenges?
     Who do you know that is alive today that receives and finds what they ask God for most of the time as promised in Luke 11:9? Who do you know who is alive today that has all or even most things working out for good as promised in Rom 8:28? Who do you know that is supernaturally led by God to make the correct decisions and remember things consistently? Who do you know who is alive today that has prayers which make a noticeable difference as promised in James 5:16? Who do you know who is alive today that has all or even most of the signs that they believe as promised in Mark 16:17-18 and Luke 10:19? Who do you know who is alive today that has consistent peace and joy as promised in Gal 5:22 during turmoil and frustrating problems?
      These questions are asked in more detail on the forum at truechristianity.com/philosophy where you can leave your answers for others to see if you wish. Otherwise you could just send the answers to me.

10 Points of Evidence for Divine Leading.

      People first need to produce evidence that they obey God and that the Holy Spirit and Jesus Christ are in their lives, because the Devil can produce miracles.
      I am not saying that people are definitely not born again or ever led by God if these signs are not there. I am suggesting if these signs are not there, people are probably only imagining that they are led by God. This is because, if the people were consistently led by God, they would be noticeably different to the average unbeliever, and the evidence of God's promised help would be very obvious. It must be remembered that the most important sign that someone is led by God and born again is that they believe and obey what God stands for as explained on the other pages at truechristianity.com .
      If there is no doubt that people are led by God, the following things listed should happen more than would naturally be the case for unbelievers, so the result could not be a coincidence.
      For example:
      1. People led by God should be able to find what they need to complete a task, and should not lose things so often. If something is lost they should be able to pray and then be led to the correct location to find it.
      2. What they need should be convenient and available without frustrating searching and delays.
      3. They should be led to the correct decisions so that when we look back we realize it was the best decision and not a mistake.
      4. Less things should go wrong in ways such as breakdowns, failures and accidents and if things do go wrong the people led by God should be led to what the problem is without a lot of time consuming and painful trial and error.
      5. They should be able to read, remember and comprehend more efficiently than an unbeliever.
      6. They should be able to remember to do particular tasks at the appropriate time.
      7. They should be led to be in the right place at the right time to make use of an opportunity.
      8. God should noticeably help them so that normally random events should work together well to enable a task to be completed efficiently and save time, so more of God's work can be done. There should be less obstructions and interferences. Unpredictable events such as phone calls, rainfall and fine weather should occur at convenient or necessary times. For example, on a day when you need to travel somewhere and don't have transport it should coincide with a day your friend has to drive to that place and he can give you a lift.
      9. Due to the above, a person led by God should be able to complete tasks more efficiently than someone not led by God. For most of us, frustrating setbacks cause tasks to take longer than we hope. However, a person definitely led by God should have less of these problems and be satisfied with the time their task took. They should be able to produce the evidence that they are led by God if they visit us so we could watch them work. It should be obvious God helps them and the result should not be able to be attributed to coincidence.
      10. Their prayer for people should be able to make a noticeable and measurable difference, with some supernatural healings occurring. For example, a person led by God should be able to visit our area and pray with us for people in a hospital who have an illness or disability that cannot be naturally cured. At least some of the time those sick or disabled people should be supernaturally healed so that the doctors could prove that this was the case.

How Do You Know a True Prophet.

      If someone claims to be a prophet of God they should be able to warn people of a disaster such as a plain crash or an Earthquake, and what they claim should be one hundred percent correct. If not they are a false prophet. Deuteronomy 18: 20-23 indicates that false prophets should be sentenced to death. So many people claim to be led by God and to be prophets but they cannot produce the evidence that they are. They are most likely not led by God because they are led to disagree and make false claims and prophecies. That is why it is important to challenge people to prove themselves because they may be subtly deceived and regarded by God as false prophets. Prophecies should be recorded in writing, made public and scrutinized.

If You Claim to Be Definitely Correct and Led by God

     If you claim that you are divinely led and that you feel God is in your life, what makes you different to the other people who make a similar claim but are deceived? Why couldn't you be deceived because many people disagree with you and believe that you are still lost? Those people claim to follow the Bible and be divinely led.
     If you claim that God answers your prayers and helps you or the other people you know, what about the times when there was no obvious answer or divine help? Isn't this the case most of the time, and if so, wouldn't it indicate that something is wrong? If God is really leading and helping you and the desires are from him, you would think that they would be fulfilled. Your desires should be fulfilled and your decisions should prove correct. We do not know anyone who is helped and led by God as explained here. If you claim to be, you should be able to easily produce the evidence.

Conclusion.

     The challenge is to find the people who can produce evidence that they are definitely led by God and that Jesus has a controlling hand in their lives. You would think that they would be led in the above ways. If we can find them they could help and pray for us. They could cast out our demons so that we could effectively do God's work and obey him
      I welcome people to contact and visit. It is important to keep searching and seeking because I believe that there probably are divinely led Christians like described above out there somewhere in the world today. Even if there are not, the Bible does prophesize a future revival when they will appear.

Remember: Make a change for the better by doing things God's way and not man's way. This report helps you know and avoid the dangers, and do practical things a much better and more efficient way. We could start a great new move of God with much joy, contentment, healing, prosperity & hope.

The Benefits of Sharing & the Danger of Not

      We don't really own anything. It is God who does. The only reason why some people have blessings and possessions is because they were given them by God, and not because they worked hard, or because they were good and honest people. People who are well off could be in desperate poverty and dying if they were born in another country, even if they are good, hard working, honest Christians. Therefore, being well off is a test for people to do God's will.
     Mostly, the poverty of the poor is not their fault, but the fault of corruption, disasters, wars, multinationals, unjust prison detention, their country's policies, illness, abuse, technical problems, governments, high costs, trade unions, and other unfortunate circumstances beyond their control. If we could form a better system it would be fine to have a lot more personal wealth than suggested. You won't change the whole world system but in a small group we could form a better system independent of the mainstream one. If some wealthy people shared their wealth we would have more than enough finances to do what we need and help others.
      God wants us to live in abundance but people are trying to gain abundance in the wrong ways and use their wealth on the wrong things. It must be remembered that the Bible says things are worse in these last days than when Christians could fairly live in abundance. Now there is more competition than before. So to gain money you have to compete more against and disadvantage other poor honest Christians. This is because the wealthy do not share.

Strong Economies only Benefit a Few

      There is more than enough wealth and money in the world to adequately provide for everybody's need, but the problem is it is not distributed to those who need it. Therefore, in most communities to gain wealth and not use it for a good purpose it has to disadvantage someone else. A corrupt few individuals accumulate most of the wealth so that only a limited amount of wealth is distributed to the average person. Therefore, for an average person to gain wealth it has to be taken off another average person.
      One example is where the government wastes money on unnecessary things that benefit the rich at the expense of the poor. Poor people are starved of funding and also pay taxes to the government. Their tax money is given to the rich and wasted. The government only has a limited amount of money in the budget.
      Some people wrongly believe that strong economic activity benefits everyone. Often in countries with the largest wealth there is more poverty. The rich are getting richer, and the poor poorer. Countries and people are becoming more indebted. The gaining wealth of the multinationals is doing the opposite of making the average person prosper. It is resulting in the destruction of useful small businesses that cannot compete. Therefore, local jobs, services and wealth are lost.

Facts on Wealth Distribution

      It is no good if part of the body of Christ spends excess money on unnecessary things that are not for God's will while most of Christ's body are struggling to survive and fund their activities to do God's will.
     Instead of working to help others and do God's will, most people are working to help themselves, while harder working people who are less well off have their lives destroyed. It is up to you to change, as you can't rely on evil people or the government to do anything, as most rich people are the least helpful. People think that they deserve excess money because they worked hard, but the problem is, that most of the world is in poverty, despite many working hard. Therefore, by using your money or time for unnecessary things and not God's will, you could be guilty in God's sight of destroying Christian people, who are less well off. If you don't use your money or time for God's will, you are preventing people from getting saved by not hearing the gospel.
     On a pensioners income people would normally be able to afford a reasonable house or flat, a cheap car, enough food, clothes and some extras if they don't waste their money. The medium income in wealthy countries is approximately as much as a pension. That means most people do not earn much more than a pension in countries with a high standard of living. Many of these poor people honestly work hard. They include almost all small businesses, volunteer workers and many sincere unemployed people who are trying very hard. Therefore, in countries of high standards of living if you earn more than a pension you would be gaining excess money or more money than you really need for yourself compared to others.
     Who God judges as rich is probably not who the bureau of statistics judge to be rich.
     It could be that anyone who keeps more money than a pension income in countries with high standards of living is considered wealthy in God's sight. This is because they are in approximately the top 5% of income earners in the world. They are also in approximately the top 5% in the world when it comes to their standard of living.
     Many scriptures indicate that if you have more possessions or earn more money than most, you must not use your excess income or possessions for yourselves but instead use if for Godly purposes. Hence, this will include everyone who earns more than a pension in countries of high standards of living. Every Christian should seek to use all their time and money for God's will. If they don't, they are in extreme danger of judgment, which could be a lost eternity.
      Some people are forced to invest their money in something secular as part of a condition to receive an injury compensation claim. This is so they will have money to pay for future carers and necessary goods. The investment could include useful real estate. Other people gain large sums of money through acceptable means such as an inheritance. It will take time for these people to decide where to use the money for God's will. In the mean time they would need to invest it in something like useful real estate.
     God would be understanding of people who intend to do God's will, but make mistakes by mistakenly doing or buying the wrong things. We at least need to seek and try to do God's will, even though we all make mistakes.

Who Benefits Society the Most

     One article mathematically proves that people who work hard for no pay, or people who use all their income for God's will are a net benefit to society. However, people who earn excess money and don't use it for God's will have a negative impact.
     People earning and keeping more money than they need, have to take money that is either:
1. from the Government, (if they are public servants).
2. as wages from a poor small business manager, or charges to a poor person.
3. from a company, which causes that company to charge higher costs to poor people.
     This money taken from society increases the country's debt and the personal debt of people. Therefore, it gives more control to the corrupt powerful corporations. To gain money, it has to come from somewhere, to the disadvantage of someone or something else. This however, is not a problem if the person receiving the money uses it for God's will.

Biblical Examples and Verses

     In the case of the rich young ruler (Mark 10:21) (who wanted to be saved) and the rich man (Luke 16:19) (who did not help Lazarus), keeping money and not helping others were the only reasons mentioned why they did not enter Heaven. Instead, they are tormented in Hell. There are also many other verses showing the importance of wealth sharing below.
     "James 5:1 Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you. 2 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten. 3 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. Proverbs 13:7 There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing: there is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches. Proverbs 21:17 He that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man: he that loveth wine and oil shall not be rich. Micah 6:12 For the rich men thereof are full of violence, and the inhabitants thereof have spoken lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their mouth. 1 Timothy 6:9  But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. Matthew 25:43  I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not. 44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? 45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. 46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.  1John 3:17 - But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? Luke 3:11 - He answereth and saith unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do likewise. 13 And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you. 14 And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages. Mark 10:21 Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me. 23 And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God! 24 And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God! 25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. Luke 6:20 And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God. 21 Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh. 24 But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation. 25 Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep. 26 Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets. 34 And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again. 35 But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil. Luke 12:16 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully: 17 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits? 18 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. 19 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. 20 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? 21 So is he that layeth up treasure for himself,and is not rich toward God. Luke 30 And, behold, there are last which shall be first, and there are first which shall be last. James 2:10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. 14 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, 16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? 17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. 18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. 19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble."
     Then there is the case of Ananias and Sapphira who were struck dead by God for not obeying God and sharing their wealth. The below Scriptures appear to indicate that the condition to be a Christian is to not lie and to share ones wealth. Everyone below shared, unlike the church today. But the ones who did not share were punished. "Acts 4:34 Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold, 35 And laid them down at the Apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need. Acts 5:1 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession, 2 And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles' feet. 3 But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land? 4 Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God. 5 And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things."
     Verses also indicate that it is wrong to directly charge someone money when they are not expecting it. In 2 Kings 5 the punishment was that Gehazi and his descendants were struck leprous. Trying to make money and Christianity don't go well together. In Matthew 21:12-13 Jesus saw people trying to sell things in the temple and he aggressively drove them out. In Matthew 27:3-10 Judas Iscariot sold Jesus for 30 pieces of silver. In Matthew 28:13 the chief priests bribed the soldiers into lying about Jesus for a large sum of money. In Revelation 13:16-17 and Revelation 14:9-11, one will have to disobey God by taking the mark of the Beast to legally buy or sell.

Remember: Make a change for the better by doing things God's way and not man's way. This report helps you know and avoid the dangers, and do practical things a much better and more efficient way. We could start a great new move of God with much joy, contentment, healing, prosperity & hope.

Lukewarm Churches Mixed With the World

      The Bible indicates that the Churches' beliefs are lukewarm. The below prophecy may relate to the church of the last 100 years, according to some scholars and historians who have matched the description of each church in Revelation 2 and 3 and related it to a particular time in history. The last church is the Laodiceans church. This probably corresponds to the last church of the age, and the description matches the church of today. As a result people who only believe the mainstream teachings are rejected. However, there may be some hot churches. "Rev 3:14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; 15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. 16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. 17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked."
     The mainstream church of today certainly fits this description. Most of the preaching is not deep and does not refer to the Bible enough. It is unlikely that people learn much about the Bible. Generally they hear things that they already know. God may consider some aspects of the mainstream Church of today the same as the Pharisees, which formed the mainstream church in Jesus' time. The Pharisees were proud arrogant people who wanted to show everyone how good they were. Jesus wants a humble loving heart that generously gives without showing off. He would not want one which openly gives a little often, for the purpose that it looks good to the congregation.
     Also, verse 17 (above) states that the church will be focused on material things and money, more than doing God's will. This is very evident today, as people who go to church do the same things as the non-believers. They seek money and material things more than they seek God. They seek to be part of the same corrupt system as the unbelievers, instead of spending their time doing God's will. Much of the false church have or follow many of the worldly things that are not needed, cost money and take the focus away from God. Items are even sold inside the church. How would this compare to the time when Jesus drove out those people who bought and sold in the temple?
     Are you satisfied with an apostate church that is disobeying God and will be spewed out of the mouth of God (Rev 3:14-17)? If you were a true Christian you would be standing up against evil and wanting to find the true church. A true person of God would not want to become part of the apostate church. In the New Testament, people of God spoke against evil and the mainstream church of their day who were the Pharisees. This could refer to all mainstream denominations. We can't compare today's churches with the Churches in Paul's time when there was a major move of God. Remember this is the last days (like the days of Noah) and mankind is generally more wicked now than they were in Paul's time. So all the churches we know of may be considered apostate in God's sight.

Remember: Make a change for the better by doing things God's way and not man's way. This report helps you know and avoid the dangers, and do practical things a much better and more efficient way. We could start a great new move of God with much joy, contentment, healing, prosperity & hope.

Is Christmas a Pagan Festival?

     Giving people something that they need is a good godly way to show love and help others. However, the giving season could be so much better with much more joy. Solving and avoiding the below problems will mean everyone will have a much happier time.
     Man's system is about giving, but it is about giving in the wrong way. It is about using the festive season to seek profit and gifts in return. It is about pride or showing others that you are better by being able to afford expensive gifts. It is about giving unnecessary expensive things that people often do not want.
     Christmas actually started as a pagan festival. Nobody knows what day or month Christ was born. People claim that Christmas has now been turned into a Christian festival but the problem is that it is mainly not Christian. In fact, many of the things involved with Christmas are pagan or Satanic. Many people see Santa as a God. He is certainly distracting people from the real God. In the Bible other gods were condemned. There are many good gifts, but there are also many that are not useful and take over people's lives. The believers in God in the Bible certainly did not go to the people with pagan gods, and turn their festival into a partly Christian festival while allowing pagan activities to continue. Pagan activities were totally removed from the living or worshiping presence of the believers. In the Old Testament are many examples of where God was angry if they did not totally remove the pagan idols.
     Christmas and Easter have to a great extent lost their true meanings and are largely about buying unnecessary products from multinationals. This is giving multinationals more profit and power and causing financial misery for poor people. The commercialisation of Christmas and Easter and the buying of Easter eggs and gifts which people don't need etc. are a way for the world system to focus people away from what they should be using their money and time for.
      As indicated by the following reference the pagan roots of Christians stem from Mother and Child worship that begin in Babylon. They believed that the Goddess derived her godhead and glory from the son. The system of worship was passed down through later civilizations. The names of their gods were changed. The cults established holy days. On the Winter Solstice the birth was celebrated for the son of Isis the Egyptian Queen of Heaven.
      The following section in italic print is quoted in an article by By Mark S. Watson.
      "As time passed, this Mother Goddess religion transformed itself into various fertility cults that flourished in the ancient world. These mystery schools had special important 'holy' days that were celebrated. Consider this, it was during the Winter Solstice that the son of Isis the Egyptian Queen of Heaven, birth was celebrated. It is very interesting to note that these festivals were not celebrated by the Church of the first two centuries of its existence[iv].
      . . . Some of the early church fathers have commented on the exchanging of gifts at Christmas time as being an observance of Saturnalia, a pagan winter festival. The Babylonians had an old fable of an evergreen tree[v] that sprang out of a dead tree stump symbolizing Nimrod, later known among the mystery schools as Tammuz. The Bible makes some reference of these pagan customs and holidays (Jer 10:3-4; Ezek 8:13-14; 1King 14:23). These all occurred during the winter solstice, that is, the time the 'Church' celebrates Christmas. The risen 'child god' rises from the dead three days after the winter solstice. The celebration today is commonly referred to today as Christmas. This is clearly NOT a Christian holiday. Despite the traditions of men, passed of as truth in the modern American Pulpit, this Holiday, is deceptively decked with lots of goodwill, songs and presents in order to deceive the masses into rejecting the truth.
      . . . The only day Christ commanded us to celebrate was the Last Supper, the church has even missed to boat on this too, as Christ COMMANDED us to drink wine and eat bread in remembrance of him.
      . . .Easter is another Babylonian abomination that has made its way into the Christian mainstream. The name actually comes from Ishtar, the Goddess of fertility in Assyria. However, this is simply the Babylonian Goddess Astarte, who was the consort for Baal. Being the Goddess of fertility, it was only natural that the favorite symbol of fertility be used in the spring festival that we now call Easter, that being the egg. Easter Eggs are the most visible representation of the fertility aspect of the spring pagan festival. Pastors who celebrate this are in grave violation of the Commands of Christ when they conduct the passion of Christ during this time. The Scriptures are very clear when Jesus was crucified it was on Passover. We know exactly when Passover is and we know that is when Jesus was crucified. Why does the mainstream 'Church' continue in the pagan abomination? Many mainstream pastors will never speak out about these and other abominations in mainstream (Protestant and Catholic) Christianity, if they did they would find themselves no longer welcome on Christian T.V., lucrative Church Circuit speaking engagements and may find their books will not be published by large 'Christian book' publishing houses."

True Conspiracies Affecting Everyone

Introduction

     Many reliable Christian sources state that we belong to an evil system infiltrated by a global conspiracy that forces people to teach lies and worldly philosophies. The Bible is full of conspiracies. Even the word conspiracy is mentioned 10 times in the King James version. There is more information on the content of conspiracies and proof of these claims at trueconspiracies.com/.
     Many do not know that the Illuminati and other powerful, evil organizations control the banking systems, media, education systems and much of the work force. They are the force behind the Council on Foreign Relations and the International Bankers, which are mostly controlled by the super-rich Rothschild and Rockefeller families. They control and have their people in the governments and have infiltrated every mainstream system. They are a very secret organization with a global conspiracy to rule the world and force everyone to worship Satan. They are gradually doing this now in a subtle way so that people will not be aware that they are being snared. They mix truth with evil, to slowly delude the masses into their hands.

Bible Prophecy of a Conspiracy

     The Bible clearly predicts the formation of a one-world government with a terrible dictator or the Beast, who together with his partner, the false prophet, will kill anyone who does not worship him or his image. However, initially people from different religions will think that He is the great messiah. He will promise peace and perform miracles that will even deceive the wary people to worship him. He will then break his peace agreement. It will be far better to die than to worship the Beast or his image, as he will be controlled by Satan. The Beast will be Satan in the flesh, so by taking his mark on your right hand or forehead and worshiping him or his image, you are worshipping Satan and are destined for Hell (Rev 14: 9 - 11). There is much more information on this at http://www.truechristianity.com/prophecy
     If you don't worship and take the mark of the Beast, the Bible says the world system will probably kill you. (Rev 6: 9-11, Rev 13: 15-17) You would probably either starve to death, (as you would not be allowed to buy or sell for not taking the mark of the beast) or be executed. People will have to make a choice between staying alive in torturous times (and to be eternally separated from God) or dying to do God's will, (which will mean eternal life). We are getting very close to this time.

The Workforce Deception

     Obeying, working for, yoking with and submitting to evil things in the system to obtain excess money and worldly pleasures may be slightly similar in some ways to obeying the Beast and taking his mark.
     Many are deceived without being aware of it. Like pawns in the game, they are then manipulated to unintentionally deceive others. People who are not on their guard unintentionally deceive others, despite loving them.
      Many professions under the systems authority, including scientists and doctors, encourage suppression of the truth. For example, conflicts of interest occur. If the truth were told, it could mean people are put off from a particular profession or are subject to extensive ridicule. People are therefore likely not to tell the truth to avoid these things. Many inventions and discoveries that could have greatly benefited everybody have been suppressed in this way. Much corruption has been suppressed, which has resulted in the detriment of society. A profession that is part of and loyal to a corrupt system often means that you have to be corrupt to do your duty. This is because you have to obey and use corrupt methods which means disobeying God. There is a lot of corruption exposed on the news in the Illuminati controlled media. But this must be the tip of the iceberg as there is much more suppressed. If people do wrong, the natural thing is to suppress it. You can therefore safely assume that there is widespread corruption in every worldly system. The danger in working for the system is that one could be working for the conspirators and Satan, who control the system.
     The more people they lure to work for them, the stronger they become. It also means that less people are working for God.
     Many may be totally unaware that they are working for a conspiracy, unlike those who would be part of the conspiracy. We should be turning away from yoking with the evil world system. If you knew an organization's goal was to force people to worship Satan, would you work for them? Do you want to be part of a system that is leading and causing you to deceive others? There are many different ways to work for God's purposes, where people can use all their existing skills.
     The corrupt mainstream medical system forces and teaches people to take unnecessary and harmful drugs or therapy, to the benefit of the drug companies who have suppressed natural cures.
     In most schools a teacher would have to teach what the system wants, even if it is bad for them and their students. People promoting or getting people interested in paid jobs would have to advise people to do something that is wrong in most cases. Anyone in the public service or in a large company would have to do and recommend things that the corrupt system does. For example, if you knew a better way to do something, you may not be able to use it or advise people of it. You would have to do wasteful things that deceive and hinder people, which is the goal of the conspirators behind the corrupt system.
     There could hardly be a better way to get control of the world and force everyone to worship Satan, than to deceive everyone into being very busy but doing the wrong things, so that they are distracted from the truth. The Bible says that we should be busy and work hard, but we are to use our time for God's will. Being busy doing the wrong things is only helping Satan and hindering God's work. There are too many people seeking to earn more money than what they need, and not enough people volunteering to do God's will.

The Money Deception and Gamble

     A major deception is that people believe that they will be better of if they seek money. Mostly the opposite is true. The conspirators deceive people into thinking that making money is easy and good, despite the fact that almost all small businesses fail. People trying to earn excessive money require more goods and services than someone who is satisfied with enough income to survive. These goods and services include energy, fuel, water, rent, interest rates, registrations, licenses and essential products. The problem is that these goods and services are mostly purchased from those with wealth and power. If people try to earn more money than they need for necessary things, it transfers wealth and power to those who are evilly planning a one-world dictatorship. At the same time, it is causing honest hard working people to become bankrupt, when they lose more money than they make. Therefore, banks and multinationals can take their properties and gain more power.
     Honest people often ask their friends and family for favours to help them start to make money. However, they are often unable to return the favour if their problems and bankruptcies linger on for years. They may have to spend all their time and money trying to get out of problems, and become a burden to others as a result.
     The mainstream method of seeking more money than you are currently earning would therefore compare to gambling which is considered evil and leaves many people's lives destroyed. It is not money that is bad; it is the corruption you have to yoke with to get it. As a result, it is a gamble to get more than you need to survive which means you are likely to lose more time and money than you gain. Money is fine if you do not have to disobey God to get it.
      A main controlling measure is to deceive the majority that the purpose of life is to spend most of your time to make money and spend it on really unnecessary things. People therefore desire unnecessary or ungodly products and services instead of good useful ones. Also, advertising by corrupt companies leads people to use redundant products produced by the corrupt companies. At the same time good products produced by honest companies are ignored. Therefore, good products and services mostly do not sell. The corrupt companies tied to the conspirators have money to advertise and mislead people while honest people promoting good things have little money to advertise with.

Their Goal is Waste and Creating Problems

     The conspirators encourage and fund evil projects that cause waste and other problems to control people. These include wars, arms races, depressions, stock market crashes, major sporting events, movies, election campaigns, unnecessary and bad education, perishable products and drug companies. The conspirators create the money and lend it at interest to wasteful projects, so that they can profit from the interest and place the increasingly indebted countries and people under more control. They suppress inventions and discoveries so that the world is forced to rely on their products. People spend time and money on redundant products that bring the conspirators great profit.
     The goal of the conspirators is for people to waste time and money so that they can gain more control. They distract people from edifying purposes and gain from the lending of money at interest. Mind control, which is achieved by, drugs, inefficiency, confusion, bad education, media, lust and unnecessary work, is a very powerful thing, and is enabling them to manipulate and sedate the majority.
     Just think about how the system wastes time and money. Many times we wonder why things are done in a certain way, and we can think of a better way to do them. Many people put time and expense into promoting a better method, only to have their ideas suppressed.
     Unnecessary paper work, duplication, and excessive questions in documents cause time and money to be wasted. The conspirators use answers from unnecessary questions on forms, to gain private personal information. This enables them to monitor how they are destroying society, and enables them to work out the next subtle plan of attack to gain greater control.

The Conspiracy Compared to a Pool of Water

     The situation can be compared to everyone being in a pool of water where the temperature of the water is rising. The people running the system have deceived almost everybody into thinking that they must stay in the water even though it is better when they get out. The lure in the water is money, which people hope will give them unnecessary pleasure in the world. They are in such vigorous competition to find money that almost no one is aware of what is going on.
     Some are not aware that they are being cooked to death, and have not bothered to seek the truth, as the temperature is increasing gradually. Others hear the truth which only a few people spoke of, but they did not get out, as they did not believe the truth. Very few people climb out to safety. You could easily be one of them.

Are leading evangelists really Christians?

     Sources indicate that some leading evangelists appear to be Christians, but are in actual fact deceiving and weakening Christians. If a leading evangelist says that it is fine to do the things of this world, many will believe them. There are many references that give strong evidence from many sources that some leading evangelists are actually working for the Illuminati and Freemasons. This appears likely, because if they did not, the Illuminati controlled media and organizations would not support them. Reports also state that these evangelists send people to Catholic and Non-Christian churches and that the media are not showing the full story of the meetings. These sources claim that some leading evangelists also support magicians, prostitutes, homosexuals, corrupt leaders, and others who practice the occult. Reliable references claim that some evangelists also support organizations linked to the conspirators such the World Council of Churches who are striving for a one-world order and a one-world church. They also state that some evangelists have multiple personalities and are under mind control. Some evangelists also accept practices such as abortion, rock concerts, communism and pagan religions. Initially, some evangelists don't support organizations which promote evil or try to form a one world order, but then they change to either supporting them, being funded by them, or not saying that they are evil. The sources claim that the evangelists have drifted away from strong fundamental organizations and no longer support them. They claim that people are allowed into the evangelists' meetings preaching false doctrine and that the evangelists run organizations that cover up crime and launder drug money. Evangelists also endorse books by apostates.
      Obviously all the evangelists listed in these reports and links would not do all the above. However, they do claim that Billy Graham does. Other evangelists including Benny Hinn are not reported to be involved in the above but are claimed to be false prophets, and also teach prosperity doctrine and use a large share of wealth for selfish purposes. These evangelists do teach a lot of truth but there is part truth almost everywhere. Teaching mostly truth deceives people that they teach all truth. Satan is very cunning at mixing truth with evil. Please read these reports and their evidence with an open mind before drawing any conclusions. They seem very well researched and a warning for us all. You will see a link to these references after clicking on the blue banner below.
      "2 Corinthians 11:13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. 14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works. Matthew 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Acts 20:29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. Matthew 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect."

Does the Bible say that we need competition?

Introduction and the Apostles System

     The Apostles did things God's way and everyone was well off. They all worked hard for God's purposes. Those with money and possessions distributed their wealth to provide for those in need. They did not compete against each other but served each other. They did not have to work with unbelievers or a corrupt system but worked together for God. This is a wonderful fair system, which the church sadly does not practice today. If the church did this, there would be less problems and the church could have a relationship with God as the Apostles did. "Acts 4:34 Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold, 35 And laid them down at the Apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need."

The Problem of Competition

     People say that we need serious competition to have fun, keep prices down have a large variety of goods and services. However, this is not true. In fact the opposite is happening, where there is predatory pricing. Powerful corrupt people and companies are competing against, taking advantage of and destroying people and businesses that are less well off. With the fair businesses gone, the monopolies raise prices, and their products are often of poor quality so that they need replacing. This means more profit for the multinationals at the honest persons expense. Destroying poor, honest innovators and small businesses means that good products and services are suppressed. This is resulting in a smaller variety of goods and services, and making these more expensive.
      Competition encourages many outlets to sell the same things, which causes confusion to shoppers, who spend excessive time shopping around. There is also often a lack of information from staff that do not know the product.
      Today we have a system where there are too many people competing to do the same thing, and too few people serving others and doing God's will. People are therefore taking a limited number of paid jobs and money away from honest people. If one succeeds in a career or enterprise to make money, they are therefore preventing someone else succeeding under such a competitive environment of limited opportunities. This is not a problem if they use the money for God's will. People try hard to unsuccessfully find paid work and money for many years as a result. The honest people who often try hard, often have their lives are destroyed as a result.
      Someone who was involved in the occult quoted "Satan's entire kingdom runs on the principle of competition; just the opposite of God's kingdom where everyone serves each other. (See http://www.mt.net/~watcher/bluey.html)" That report describes how witches compete for demons to destroy each other.
     It is strange that the so-called Christians say that competition is good, and that it is what we should be doing!!! Unlike the Apostles who gave their worldly professions away to work for the Lord, people of today are competing to study or work for a corrupted system.
      However, there are some exceptions, where doing God's will involves some serious competition that can't be avoided. For example, we all need some limited natural resources and money to survive and obtain the essentials. Taking these would disadvantage others and be considered competitive. But if we seek to do God's will, we can help people in return for taking what we need. Therefore, the net benefit would be good.
     Non-serious competition is probably good when it is for exercise, personal motivation and used as a means to lead people to God.
      But when it comes to serious competition there are many problems such as over training, lust for worldly success, money and medals. There is pride if you win and distraction from doing God's will. When you lose there is anger, disappointment, envy, regret and resentment. The disappointment and low self-esteem incurred by people losing is causing suicides, drugs, family breakdown, crime, injuries, anger with God, and people not being thankful to God. These things are not from God.
     Consider the example of the Olympic games. It has medals containing the Greek goddess of victory and is highly riddled by drugs and corruption. It encourages, competition and greed, along with the worship of idols. The Olympics causes addiction in sport to distract the elect. It wastes money, which is the goal of the international bankers who profit from the interest. It honours the Olympic spirit and the flame. This is a god of the Olympics. Worshiping other gods is diabolical in God's site. The Olympics is highly esteemed by men, therefore an abomination in the sight of God. (See Luke 16:15.)
     Other serious sport encourages greed and large payouts, and it motivates people to desire fame and fortune. Gambling, match fixing and bribes are an unfortunate by-product.

God's way and a Solution

     Instead, God's way is a rightfully regulated fair go for everyone where everyone is well off. If that was the current practice, small businesses along with everyone else, would be doing well and there would be such a great variety innovative products and services. Instead these products and services have been suppressed, so that we have to rely on a corrupt system. Fair price control should be used to benefit everyone and stop companies from making large profits. Instead of competing with each other, small specialist outlets focusing on very similar things could work together and share profits. Fair price control could be used to ensure fair and low prices. More fair regulation would ensure groups of businesses don't become too domineering. This would give a more fair chance for small specialized businesses because they would not have to compete. Instead of some businesses marketing many products that other nearby businesses sell they could focus more on the ones they know about. The system would be far more efficient without people wasting time shopping around. There would also be less advertising costs.
     God's kingdom is about loving, sharing, contentment, praise, joy and giving, which are the opposite of competition.

Yoking With Unbelievers

     It is good to mix with unbelievers to love and convert them. If you can convert them, then you can happily yoke together. We should revisit some people even if they don't believe at first, as conversion can take time. Jesus did the right thing by loving and mixing with sinners and tax collectors for the purpose of converting them. But He did not yoke, work and live with the same people if they did not believe. Jesus and the Apostles moved on if people did not believe, and met other people, trying to convert them. However, the false church of today is wrongfully encouraging people to live or work with the same unbelievers, and also work for the corrupt system, which is now worse than it was in the time of the Pharisees.
     If you work or live with someone it is a natural psychological thing to copy them. There is more chance people will be led astray if they live or work with bad company. If they are yoked with bad company, Christians are tempted to do unchristian acts which can lead them away from God. It is therefore obvious why the Bible warns us not to yoke with unbelievers. 2 Corinthians 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? 16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you. God is calling us to come out and be different to the mainstream, and not to be the same as or follow the mainstream.
     Living with unbelievers sometimes cannot be helped. For example, someone may need to live with their parents or someone to care for them so that they can gain the practical help that they need. In such cases an effort should be made to find committed Christians to live with. However, this can often take some time.
     The problem with many places in the workforce today is that Christians are associating with the same unbelievers for a long time each day. It is fine for Christians to work with other Christians, or by themselves. They could also work for an unbelieving boss in a non-corrupted workforce, so long as the believer is not influenced by or in close proximity to the same unbelievers for a significant period of time. The problem with associating with the same unbelievers is that people are drawn into bad company, and exposed to work place bullying. For the above reasons, it is probably best not to work with an unbeliever, unless it is only for a very short time and not often. Christian volunteer work doing God's will is the best work that you can do, as you don't take more money than you need, and you can easily avoid being yoked with a corrupt workforce or unbelievers.
      I am not saying that we should isolate ourselves from the world. We should mix with unbelievers in the world to minister to them and help them. But we should not be living or working with the same unbelievers for a long time if they refuse to listen or believe.
      Working with unbelievers would be fine if we do not have to experience their company too often. For example, we could have unbelieving members in some of the groups explained at advantagein.com/extraordinary.htm or advantagein.com/overview.htm . We could work with and help unbelievers, but we would not be in their company for several hours a day and every day like in the secular workforce.
     People have written stating that we need to work in the world system to get to know and convert those around us. But how much time do you think the system of long working hours and pressure would allow for that? Someone not in the corrupt workforce would be able to meet and minister to more people in a day than someone working for the corrupt system may do in years. They would not be bound by corrupt regulation that puts profit before people. Someone not pressured by the system would have more time to visit and help and minister to people, yet they could still work on something that they are talented at with other Christians. Non-Christians would see Christians setting the example to practice their ministry instead of giving the impression that it is fine to be part of the world.

The Danger of Fiction

     Some fiction is good provided it is clear that it is fiction and has a godly or practical purpose like the parables. Sometimes, fiction may be necessary to give a picture to explain or remember something.
     The reading or listening to almost all fiction causes people to have no time to study the truth. Also, most fiction causes some people to confuse fiction with reality. Highly esteemed things such as fiction novels often encourage witchcraft and magic. This is especially the case with Harry Potter. The Bible says that people practicing witchcraft and magic will be eternally separated from God, if they don't repent as indicated by the below verse where sorcery means magic and witchcraft. "Rev 21:8 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."
"Deut 18:10 There shall not be found among you [any one] that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, [or] that useth divination, [or] an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, 11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. 12 For all that do these things [are] an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee."

     The Bible is of much more profit to read and of greater benefit. Being informed of the truth makes people alert to reality and they can help others avoid tragedy and have a better life.

Education. Is it doing more harm than good?

     It is good to study true and useful things. But for many reasons it is strongly advised not to have your education at a Government or non-Christian school or university. Public non Christian schools and universities teach unnecessary things to people who would not normally be interested in them, although some of those things are of use to some. People are denied the opportunity to learn what is useful to them as a result. I enjoyed practical maths and physics, but others didn't. They would have been better off doing something else such as practical work, even if it meant that they left school. Instead these people often slowed the class down and misbehaved due to lack of interest. The high-pressure system deceived them that they had to get a high mark to compete to make excessive money in corrupt professions. This is assisting the conspirators and Satan. Public education is also controlled and infiltrated by the conspirators.

Solutions and a Christian Method

     A True Christian school would be great for everyone. It could still teach the marvels of practical maths and proven science to glorify the creator, for those who are interested. But it would take out unnecessary theory, fiction, serious competition, pressure, bad company and the deceptive teaching that man's evil philosophies are good.
     Some people who are not interested in school should be encouraged to leave school and do practical work or an apprenticeship where they would be taught some practical information, such as mathematics and English that they are likely to use.

What does God Think of the most Popular Things?

     So-called Christians regard many things as good, which are evil. "James 4:4 - Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? I John 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. Luke 16:13-14 No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. And the Pharoses also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him. 15 And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God." It certainly is highly esteemed among men to earn excess money. The safest way is to assume that almost certainly the things, which are highly esteemed and made popular by men, are evil or used for evil.
     Therefore, the mainstream things people blindly accept or like are most probably evil, as in Jeremiah's time. Because most of the media, the education system, the government and most people with money and power are controlled by the conspirators, there is very good reason to be suspect of anything that they promote. It is safer to assume that a minority have the truth, and that the majority are wrong. The rule is that things must line up with the Bible, and not necessarily what man's existing system says.
      Some people suggest that we need to use evil worldly things to win people to God. For example, rock music which contains satanic messages. Why would God want us to compromise and use evil methods to win souls to God when there has to be a better way that could not harm people?

Are Christians??? in Trade Unions in Danger?

     One example of mixing Christianity and the world is when many people who call themselves Christians are members of Trade Unions. Trade Unions cater for the minority of semi wealthy or wealthy people in the world. However, some Trade Union members in poor countries would be considered poor, based on certain standards, but they would still be rich compared to the poor people in their country that the Trade Unions are destroying. Trade Unions are encouraging the richest 5% of people in the world to be more greedy and proud. They desire more wealth for their own selfish ambitions. Trade unions leaders are also responsible for organized crime. (See abc.net.au/4corners/stories/s204701.htm, abc.net.au/4corners/stories/s204701.htm and abc.net.au/7.30/s296609.htm). Some have roots in communism and the Illuminati. The final form of the Illuminati was formed on May the 1st 1776, which is May Day. Trade Unions March each year when this day is celebrated.
     Many Bible verses indicate that people may be eternally separated from God if they are members of evil organizations like the Trade Unions. This is because they are deceived into wanting more for themselves and not caring about the vast less wealthy hard working majority. It is the less wealthy hard working majority who these unions are destroying by taking away their right to earn an income. The groups which trade unions are destroying include the unemployed, carers, pensioners, small business and consumers. Higher wages mean higher costs for small business, who cannot afford to employ people. This means higher unemployment, higher inflation, higher interest rates and more people in small businesses going bankrupt. In countries where wages are above the world average, we are better off lobbying for lower costs and not higher wages. Trade unions therefore hurt the poor and the economy.
     Trade Unions are correct in some ways. For instance they support shorter working hours and oppose globalisation, company mergers and job layoffs. But remember Satan mixes truth with error, so that he can deceive people that he is correct in all ways.

Challenging Questions on Unnecessary Things

      One of the main problems today is that many people are using the excess money that they gain for unnecessary things, instead of using it to do God's will. Too much time is spent on the things which are probably unnecessary, wrong or evil in the sight of God.
     If the things most people take for granted as being good are wrong, almost everyone is at fault. So called Christians are doing or buying things that rich people accept as normal such as having holidays that cost excessive money and are not for God's purpose; playing serious competitive sport; being involved in unnecessary education; tidying or cleaning their property more than needed for show; unnecessary gardening that is not for practical purposes such as shade, privacy, food or a means to lead people to God; fancy or unnecessary cooking not needed to be healthy; buying products, property or services not needed for practical purposes or God's will; buying possessions more expensive than needed; choosing to invest in places that don't do God's will, (especially large companies who make big profits to pay their greedy executives); being involved in any of the arts that don't glorify God; toys that are more expensive than which can be afforded by most in the third world; buying gifts that people don't need; having parties that cost money and don't glorify God; jewelry apart from a low cost wedding or engagement ring which is probably good so that people will know who is married; cosmetics; fashions; ornaments; decorations; Christmas trees; pets with no practical benefit; Easter eggs; unhealthy food; gambling; drugs; souvenirs; entertainment's or enjoyments not for God's will; reading fiction books, magazines and novels, which do not educate, towards Godliness and watching programs such as movies that do not inform people for God's purpose.
     Most people in the world would be so unfortunate that they would not be able to afford or do many of these things. These things are highly esteemed by men. "Luke 16:15 And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God." If people are doing and asking for the correct things, God promises that they will receive a blessing. Presently many are asking but not receiving a blessing. "James 4:3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts." Do you think that people are not receiving blessings because they are doing the previously mentioned things? These things are not giving people enough time or money for God's will and are denying other people an opportunity to do God's will. They are also destroying honest godly businesses that provide useful goods and services, as people won't have the time or money to use useful goods and services. Couldn't these things which are not necessary be wrong or evil? "2 Kings 17:12 For they served idols, where of the LORD had said unto them, Ye shall not do this thing." (c) Wouldn't these things be considered idols in God's sight? These questions and many more are asked on the feedback forum where you can give your feedback and answers.

---------------------------------------
     We have a very short life on earth. Wouldn't it be better on earth to suffer a little bit or go without a few luxuries to do God's will and help others? This will give us more joy anyway than our luxuries would give. The alternative could be a lost eternity and torment. If you do the right thing you will be rewarded in Heaven with more than just the few luxuries that you missed out on earth.

Pride

     The word pride is often misused. People say it means being respectful and looking after things. There is nothing wrong with this. In the Bible pride, which means showing off and boasting, is evil. "James 4:16 But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil." Many people sin by being proud of themselves, or boasting how good they are. It is common to hear people to say “I am proud of myself, or who I am or where I am”. But couldn't such language be considered as boasting in God's sight? God condemned the proud but favored the humble. An example of this is in Luke 18:14 where the humble tax collector was received by God, while the proud Pharisee was not.
      Below are some scriptures talking about pride. Luke 14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified [rather] than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted. Job 40:12 Look on every one [that is] proud, [and] bring him low; and tread down the wicked in their place. Psa 12:3 The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, [and] the tongue that speaketh proud things: Pro 15:25 The LORD will destroy the house of the proud: but he will establish the border of the widow. Pro 16:5 Every one [that is] proud in heart [is] an abomination to the LORD: [though] hand [join] in hand, he shall not be unpunished. Pro 21:4 An high look, and a proud heart, [and] the plowing of the wicked, [is] sin. Isa 2:12 For the day of the LORD of hosts [shall be] upon every [one that is] proud and lofty, and upon every [one that is] lifted up; and he shall be brought low: Lev 26:19 And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass: Pro 13:10 Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised [is] wisdom. Pro 16:18 Pride [goeth] before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall. Pro 29:23 A man's pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit. Isa 28:3 The crown of pride, the drunkards of Ephraim, shall be trodden under feet: Mal 4:1 For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. Jam 4:6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. Dan 4:37 Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honour the King of heaven, all whose works [are] truth, and his ways judgment: and those that walk in pride he is able to abase. Dan 5:20 But when his heart was lifted up, and his mind hardened in pride, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him: 1Jo 2:16 For all that [is] in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. Rom 1:30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Rom 1:32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

Is the Church Teaching the Correct Things? Should we be Using the Gifts of the Spirit?

     I do not know of any churches that teach what the Bible fully says. Many teach the truth about the initial steps to salvation. However, often they either teach things that are not clear in the Bible or take away the Bible's teachings. For example, there are the Pentecostals who try to practice the gifts of the spirit, but mostly they don't practice many other things spoken of in this report. I believe and have experienced praying in tongues and falling down before God after people prayed for me in a Pentecostal church. At the time I felt and still believe that it is God's spirit as it weakened me for a short time while I was strong in the presence of the Lord. Also, physically feeling the power of God makes God more real and gets peoples attention. If we pray to the true father God and Jesus it seems logical that it would do people good and it is resisting the Devil. There are cases in the Bible where people behaved in a strange way when they were prayed for. The cases could be considered similar in some ways to cases in Pentecostal churches today. "Mark 1:23 And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out, 24 Saying, Let [us] alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God. 25 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. 26 And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him. Mark 3:11 And unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down before him, and cried, saying, Thou art the Son of God. Mark 7:25 For a [certain] woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet: Luke 9:42 And as he was yet a coming, the devil threw him down, and tare [him]. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him again to his father. Luke 4:35 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. And when the devil had thrown him in the midst, he came out of him, and hurt him not."
     Some people claim that the supernatural events in Pentecostal churches that are described above are of the Devil without being able to prove it. It is very dangerous to claim that something is of the Devil when it is not. This could be considered as blaspheming the Holy Spirit where there is no forgiveness. "Luke 12: 10 And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven." If you are unsure it is best not to say anything. It could be that the demons that control people's lives are squirming when they feel the power of God, but I believe praying is still what God wants us to do more of.
     Many verses support spiritual gifts such as, healing, tongues and the laying on of hands. "1 Timothy 4:14 Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery. 1 Cor 12:8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; 9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; 10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: 1 Corinthians 14:2 For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries. 14:3 But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men [to] edification, and exhortation, and comfort. 14:4 He that speaketh in an [unknown] tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church. 1 Corinthians 14:39 Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues. Mark 16:17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; Acts 19:6 And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied."
     I drifted away from Pentecostal churches when I heard that several people were leaving them and not being healed. There were disgruntled people who did not want to return to these churches and even believed that many things that they did were of the Devil. But this troubled me as I thought I experienced Jesus in my experiences with them. However, the Bible states that the people operating in these gifts are not necessarily Christians or doing God's will. It states that there are a group of people which are not born again that are using or claiming to use the gifts. "Matthew 7: 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity." This verse may apply to most people in the Pentecostal churches. We also see King Saul after he rebelled from God using the gifts of God's spirit. Perhaps disobeying God by ignoring most things covered in this report could be the reason why there are false prophecies, people not getting healed, and people being misled. God may not be using his full effect, as He wants to alert people that something is wrong. God could be giving people a taste of the gifts in the hope people will do what He commands so He can reward them with the full thing.
     Then there are the lukewarm Christian churches that ignore the gifts of the spirit and the laying on of hands. Ignoring this means that many churches are spiritually dead and that they are not doing what God commands. The Bible states that today's church is lukewarm and not fully committed. They could be considered to be as follows: "2 Tim 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away."
     I can see God, as a positive God who would like to heal people and have them touched before him. If people did God's will there may be supernatural moves of God like in the times of the apostles. It would be wonderful to go around and pray for people and see them touched by God and turn to God. The mistake we make is that we assume that our friends are good Christians in God's sight when they most likely are not. We need to therefore have an attitude of praying, caring and trying to save their soul, instead of yoking with them for ungodly purposes.

Remember: Make a change for the better by doing things God's way and not man's way. This report helps you know and avoid the dangers, and do practical things a much better and more efficient way. We could start a great new move of God with much joy, contentment, healing, prosperity & hope.

The Confusion Between Judging and Boldly Rebuking, Warning or Correcting Someone

      Some people say all judgment is wrong by singling out the verse "Judge not, that ye be not judged" (Matthew 7:1). It is true that there are certain forms of judgment that we are not meant to make. The above verse is referring to one of these forms. However, there are instances where the Bible says that we need to judge. We need to read other verses and not only the one above.
      Correction is not judgment, as the Bible says that we should correct, rebuke and be bold to those who are sinning. It is to be done in an act of caring for them in the hope that they will believe. That way we could contribute to the saving of a soul. If we don't, we could be responsible for suppressing the truth which could mean eternal death instead of eternal life for that person. "James 5:20 Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins."
     Where the Bible says do not judge, it could therefore mean judging whether someone is born again or not born again. This is because in doubtful cases only God can be the judge of this. The form of judgment that this verse says not to do could also be referring to a form of judgment that a person makes when they despise a sinner, while at the same time believing that they are worthy themselves. We should only correct in a humble way as an act of love. The Bible indicates to boldly correct people in an effort to bring them to repentance. We could say that someone may be eternally separated from God to spur them to repentance. But to say that someone is definitely saved or that they will be eternally separated from God would be wrong. "Romans 10:6 But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:) 7: Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)" There is no judgment yet. God performs the judgment at the end of the age.
     We should not judge doubtful things or things by appearance but we are still meant to make righteous judgment on things that are clear in the Bible if we don't willfully do them. "John 7:24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment. Romans 14: 1 Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations. 2 For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs. 3 Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him. 4 Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand. 1 Corinthians 6: 1 Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints? 2 Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? 3 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life? 4 If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church. 5 I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren?"
     Jesus and the Apostles were very bold and rebuked and condemned evil. They even openly rebuked people in the church for doing evil, in order to strengthen the church. There were examples when even physical force was used to correct them. In Nehemiah 13:25, Nehemiah cursed, struck and pulled out the hair of the Jews who rebelled by having pagan wives. There were other incidences where he forced people to stop lending money at interest, (Nehemiah 5:10-13) and threatened people for breaking the Sabbath (Nehemiah 13:19-21). Nehemiah forced people to do the right thing. Jesus Also overturned the tables of the moneychangers in the temple (Matthew 21:12-13).
     Rebuking a sinner, exposing corruption, correcting someone in love or disciplining ones children is not judging wrongfully. If so, Jesus and the Apostles who were our example to follow would have been in error. I believe that the Devil is lying to people to convince them that Biblical correction is judging. Therefore, many believe that it is fine to go on sinning and not obey God by warning others. This is the opposite of the example set by the Apostles. People are more likely to take note and remember strong stirring words. Strong words cause people to repent and not remain lukewarm. Bold ministry can turn people off but they would probably turn away anyway and be considered by God to be lukewarm. Therefore, they probably would have been rejected by God anyway. In the Bible people mostly either turned well away or became committed believers.
     "1 Timothy 5:20 Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. Luke 17:3 Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him. 2 Timothy 4:2 2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine. Titus 1:13 This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith; Titus 2:15 These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee."
     If we don't warn someone in error to turn from evil, we are partly responsible. "Ezekiel 33:8 When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die; if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand."
     Some of the bolder remarks also included in the verses at http://www.truechristianity.com/christian/bold.htm are: "Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye.; Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they have slain them which shewed before of the coming of the Just One; of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers; Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money; Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation. 25 Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep. 26 Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets. Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee; sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor; He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; be content with your wages; O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things?; Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?; Thou hypocrite, ye have made it a den of thieves; Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do.; Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified."
     We need to be bold like the Apostles. Question 7 of the forum gives an example of this. As Jesus and the Apostles are our example it is a very good question as to whether we should say the below to some openly rebellious people. This would not mean everyone. Please don't be offended by this example, as it is not directed towards you.
     Would the Apostles say the below to the people of today? How would we say it? As an act of love, should we say something like below to people obviously in error to stir them, so that they will repent and become strong believers?
     Could the following be said to people who are openly in rebellion and being paid excessive money that they spend on the wrong things? Should we be saying something like the following 5 paragraphs? The question is summarized below down to the dotted line.
     "You must repent to be saved. You should use your time or money for God's will. Otherwise, you are guilty of taking other peoples jobs and income away, bankrupting or destroying small businesses that are normally earning much less than yourself and stopping people from doing God's will by denying them the funds. Therefore, you are stopping people from hearing the gospel and getting saved. Also, you will be partly responsible for other people's poverty, trauma, and illness along with suicides, mental problems and crimes by unfortunate people. Perhaps, you could be considered as bad as a criminal in God's sight and it is money that is either directly taken from poor people by you or money that they deserve but you are wrongfully accepting. This is like thieving and murder if it leads to someone else's death.
     If you earn more than a pension and want wage rises that increase costs, cause others unemployment, and destroy small business, you could be even considered a worse criminal. Every hard worker is entitled to a wage. So why are you not using your money, or time to fight for the rights of those slaving in poverty, (for no more than pensioners wage) all around you, instead of greedily trying to grab more for yourself?
     If you take more money than you need from the government through high public service wages it means less money for the government to help the poor.
     Very few small business owners are fortunate enough to have a net earning of more than a pension. If you do, but don't use your profits for God's will, you are guilty of unfairly competing against and destroying other small businesses.
     That means you need to use all your money for God's will. The only other option is you give your paid occupation to someone who will use the income wisely for God's will and you do volunteer work earning at the pension rate. This could include helping the needy or doing God's ministry using your existing skills. If you use your excess money for God's will, you will still have more money than most others who often work harder and are more clever than yourself. Also, you will have more than just the necessities if you don't waste your time on unnecessary things. Giving your current job away is probably the best option as your job probably involve promoting unnecessary or evil products and services. Also, it probably involves misleading people to be part of the world system, seek excessive money and spend money on unnecessary things. In other words you are doing more harm than good.
     If you are unemployed, stop seeking a profession in a corrupt work force that gives excessive money that you may never find. Instead, you should volunteer to do God's will today. Then God's reward will be great.
     Stop wasting your time and money on unnecessary things such as those mentioned above which could be considered idols or evil in God's sight. Instead use your time and money for God's ministry and helping those in need.

--------------------------------------------------
     The disciples offended many, were put in prison and were killed for their bold testimony, but they also won many to God. The people they influenced were more committed than most today, as the bold testimony of the Apostles example motivated them to put their life right. (a) Should we be saying something like the above to the people of today?

We are Commanded to Preach

      Many places in the Bible command us to preach the word. "Mark 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. Acts 10:42 And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead. Romans 10:14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? Romans 10:15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!"

Are There Times Where you Should Not Help Others?

     We should help others with things that benefit them but a good question is should we help people to do things that are evil or harmful to them? For example, should we help people to do unnecessary or evil things? The Bible indicates that we should not, unless it is a means to get them to leave the worldly things and follow God. This is because many of these things are condemned in the Bible.

A Positive Conclusion with the Solutions

      The reasons why we should seek first the kingdom of God by trying to form or find a group like the Apostles are endless. Imagine the benefits if we could move in the spirit like the Apostles. People would be guided by God instead of stumbling around blind folded making the wrong decisions. We may not have to spend eons of our lives looking for things and making decisions. There may be little or no need for traditional medical therapy, as people could be supernaturally healed. There would be certainty, direction and less frustration. There would be more love, a great relationship with God and little worry. There would be a revival with maybe even skeptics coming to the Lord when they see things happening. Imagine the time it would save if we were divinely led as explained above.
      We need to strive for such a system, but to achieve it we must obey God. We need a group dedicated to God to spend time doing God's will. I believe one of the most important things is to find where the genuine Christians are, so that we can have fellowship with them and grow. Strong proof and maybe video evidence is needed, as so many people have been given false claims. To achieve this, people must start working for the Lord's system. To make time for the Lord they must stop seeking money for unnecessary or ungodly things, and stop working for the inefficient corrupt mainstream system that is serving Satan. You have a great opportunity to search for some genuine Christians who are harnessing God's supernatural power. Everyone has some means to search. If you have money, you could advertise, fund searches and help pay for the cost of printing and distributing information. Also, you could fund the travel expenses of people who claim to be led by God and moving in the supernatural so that they could visit us.
      You don't have to agree with me. You can do your own searching. If you can find someone moving in the supernatural they may change some of my ideas. If you want to change my ideas search for a group that is serving God and moving in the supernatural. I would like them to come and work with me.
     Please help to achieve such a good system by sharing this information with others, as we need to care about them. Reading this could be the difference between them going to Heaven or Hell.
     Such a good system can only be formed if people like you obey God and change from working for a corrupt, inefficient system to a much better system to help achieve God's will. Otherwise, I fear, dear brothers and sisters, you may be found guilty in God's sight of not helping to do God's work. Also, if you work for and promote evil things it distracts people from God's plan and it can also destroy lives and lead people away from God.
     Please continue for more information and proof of these facts and statistics.

Please inform me of other people you know who have similar beliefs. Could you also help me find committed believers who can prove that God has a hand in their lives. To achieve this I believe we need to get this information out to as many people as possible. Then there could be a revival. Please help me achieve this.
