Jesus died for sin, and His real disciples die to sin, and everyone who
does not die will be put to death for continuing to sin.
5/16/18; 5/4/19; 5/15/26
The Bible teaches the doctrine of sin. Church people teach the practice of sinning.
12/1/17
Church people Have the Gospel of Sin, but the Bible’s Good Message Saves beggars from that Gospel of Sinning.
Lawlessness Hates Rules
Those who are wicked hate rules, and lists of rules, and every dirty
person hates those who make a distinction and separation between what is filthy
from that which is clean and holy. If you are against lists of “dos and don’ts”
then you are a pagan and have nothing to do with Biblical Christianity, and
need to repent and Love the real Jesus and believe in the goodness of God which
you have despised.
Self-Sacrificing for Life
To those who eagerly desire to know the terms of following Jesus, they
will clasp onto every Truth with their life even when these very precious rays
of light seem to cut their own hearts.
To those who would rather die for Jesus than to live for this world,
they will take in this light and life of Truth. Though it kills them in exposing
their sin, yet they will hold on to it in faith until it makes them alive and
causes them to raise up, themselves now, even saturated in Truth.
Perfection?
And what about perfection?
How can anyone be perfect so they don’t have to keep on sinning?
The personal substance and direct influence of pure Divinity is perfection.
All of that dirtiness and imperfection in your life shows that you do not have much of God’s clean, perfect, direct, and most personal presence in you, because the direct imprint of His finger prints have faded away and are not upon you.

Jesus's full name is:
[the Lord will save] his people from there
sins
Mat_1: -- Save His people from their Sins
1Jn_3:8 He who practices
sin is of the devil, for the devil has
been sinning from the beginning. For this reason the Son of God
appeared, that He might destroy the works of the devil.
1Jn_3:8 ὁ
ποιῶν τὴν ἁμαρτίαν
ἐκ τοῦ
διαβόλου ἐστίν,
ὅτι ἀπ᾿ ἀρχῆς
ὁ διάβολος ἁμαρτάνει.
εἰς τοῦτο ἐφανερώθη
ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ
Θεοῦ, ἵνα
λύσῃ τὰ ἔργα
τοῦ
διαβόλου.
See: CONTEXT
Rom_8:3 For what was impossible for the law to do in
that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the
likeness of sinful flesh, and concerning sin, He
condemned sin in the flesh,
Rom_8:3 τὸ
γὰρ ἀδύνατον
τοῦ νόμου, ἐν
ᾧ ἠσθένει
διὰ τῆς
σαρκός, ὁ
Θεὸς τὸν ἑαυτοῦ
υἱὸν πέμψας
ἐν ὁμοιώματι
σαρκὸς ἁμαρτίας
καὶ περὶ ἁμαρτίας,
κατέκρινε
τὴν ἁμαρτίαν
ἐν τῇ
σαρκί,
Rom_8:4 so that the righteous requirement of the law might be
fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according
to the Spirit.
Rom_8:4 ἵνα
τὸ δικαίωμα
τοῦ νόμου
πληρωθῇ ἐν
ἡμῖν τοῖς
μὴ κατὰ
σάρκα
περιπατοῦσιν,
ἀλλὰ κατὰ
πνεῦμα·
Notice the similar link
between sin vs. law in both Rom_8:3 and 1Jn_3:4…
1Jn_3:4 Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness.
1Jn_3:4 Πᾶς ὁ
ποιῶν τὴν ἁμαρτίαν
καὶ τὴν ἀνομίαν
ποιεῖ, καὶ ἡ
ἁμαρτία ἐστὶν
ἡ ἀνομία.

We Need to Define Sin Repentance and
Perfection
Everyone thinks they like the passages in
first John about confessing and having your
sins forgiven.
but there is a wide gaping difference
between Bible obedience, and churchianity’s fondness with “Scriptural poetry appreciation”
today.
Biblical Differences in Forgiveness
include...
· a different definition of sin,
· a different definition of repentance and forgiveness, and,
· a different concern and preoccupation on when the sin has occurred or is occurring or might yet occur again in the future
· the church world thinks all sin is there same sin, and is not concerned with when it has or is or may happen again in the future
· the actual Bible and the actual scriptures and the actual words in 1st John very intentionally make an absolutely definite distinction in different types of sin - therefore you are going to hell if you confidently say or teach that all sin is the same
· being a perfectionist -- everyone has a confused and different definition and ideal than the Bible
· having a different definition of forgiveness - the biblical word is to send away
· forgiveness = taking care of business
· if you cursed yesterday and you cursed today and you expect to curse tomorrow, then you have never been biblically forgiven / cursing has not been sent away / you have not taken care of business
· in the world they say correctly that failing to plan is planning to fail
· if you expect (or plan) to sin tomorrow, your sins have not been sent away or forgiven in a biblical sense, your forgiveness without taking care of business is Satan worship and Antichrist heresy
·
it is one
thing to walk around in the world and need to have your feet washed, but it is
another thing to be wallowing in the mud
(and this is the biblical example that Peter uses...)
· it is one thing to be a child and your parent cleans you off as you learn how to eat right, but it is another thing to be a pig who is not ever really cleaned by its very nature
all unrighteousness is sin / sin is the
breaking of the law / everything that is not of faith / the luxury of
complacency and thinking you're saved and not begging the righteous for
forgiveness and fully incriminating yourself, and beating down the door to get
discipled and get baptized by truth proclaimers / not literally obeying every
single particle of the scriptures in their original languages -- this is the
outrageous sin that people flatter away from their consciences and boast in
their filthy and mindless Satan worship
>> See the sections on: you are desolate / you are not saved / depravity

5/4/19; 5/15/26
How Much do you Own Up to Guilt?
Willing to Die
- always bearing in
our body the dying of Jesus
- we are like the thief on cross... we deserve to die -
Jn 1:u-10...2:1
- Rom_3:23
- God, be merciful
to me a sinner (i.e. 'in my own right')
A
Line in the Sand
- Owning up does not at all include expecting and
planning to sin more (hint: Jesus said to sin no more).
- can be helpful (in many cases) to confess all sins in
the past tense (see: 'we have not kept your Word'/ driven out the nations/etc.)
- Heb 9-10 clean concious, cleared from dead works to
serve... -- it is God's goal for us to be free, so we can dominate satan. It is
the devil's goal to never stop making us hopelessly feel guilty (like
Protestantism) in order that/ lest we at anytime take authority and become an
unbearble thret to his kingdom!
- Act 10
5/2/18; 5/4/18; 5/15/26
Announcing… the New Deal with God!
you have heard that
it has been said...
all
of our righteousness is as filthy rags
(Isa_64 )
but now I announce and
declare to you a New Righteousness
that is Divine and perfect for you to do, obey, and wear as clean clothes...
the glory of eternal and divine clothing that you will wear in all cleanness
and righteousness....
it will cover your
nakedness so that you will not appear naked before a holy God...
this was prophesied
in Revelation and in many Old and New Testament passages
Again…
you have heard that
it has been said that "there is none righteous, no not one..."
(Rom_3)
but I declare to
you that these are the days of darkness and cursedness, and now finally at
last, a new light shines where people will actually be righteous...
The Curse of
Darkness of those days where "none are righteous" have passed away,
and now all who hope and are eager for clean divinity will be Truly righteous,
even in this life upon the Earth.
Religious people
have said…
everybody
sins and fall short of God's glory
and this is only
True for them!
but I am announcing
to a brand new deal where all of God's children will finally stop sinning!
this was prophesied
in 1st John
Again…
you have heard all
of your life that "no one is perfect"
but through that
which is now new upon the Earth, those who hear and believe will get up from
having fallen to walk in Perfection and in light
now that all of
those days have passed where people said "we are all Sinners saved by
grace", this Grace has now been judged and condemned as inferior, and
found weak through the Flesh and incapable of energizing people to no longer be
something, and a new favor has dawned and come that will make people no longer
be "sinners saved by grace", but now, they will be saved from sin and
Grace.
Since the inferior
law of nasty grace did not work, now Truth has worked out a better salvation
than ever previously imagined possible...

Gen 3 - The First Apostasy
Root of Sin: What is the point of Genesis 3 teaching us about sin?
Wisdom: What lessons should we learn after decades of meditating on it?
LOB: Mat_5:17-20 – how does it relate to Gen_3?
READ Gen_3…
Genesis Foundations
Return to Gen_3: We will constantly return back to the foundation of Genesis 3 throughout our studies of the Bible.
All the Bible: Genesis presents undeniable foundations necessary for thoroughly acknowledging the rest of Scripture.
Beginnings: Genesis beginnings the whole Bible in so many ways…
Real Life: Gen 3 encapsulate an extremely brief and efficient snapshot of all of our life's problems.
All of the fundamentals of sin are there
Lust for food and
Defilement of gender
Independence
Experientialism Pride
Trivializing Sin -- not taking responsibility
Remember: Consequences prove severity sin, and they show True guilt of sin from God’s infinitely perceptive perspective
Denial, Hiding, Avoidance of Liability
Video Example: The Great Apostasy
DEBUNKED! -- they are still denying sin (their Apostasy) to this
day!
See: Heb_2:2-3 & Righteousness of God’s Judgements of Hell
The Point: notice
that Genesis 3 teaches us many lessons
· You’re Tempted: Don’t pretend that you are not tempted to eat the forbidden fruit.
· Don’t Skip; You’re Still Tempted: If you pass over Genesis 3 as if you’ve already thought through everything enough, then your deceiving yourself -- because you’re still being tempted with sin!
· Forbidden Sin is Close By: Every time you might do something outside of sacred and holy faith, you are trespassing into the forbidden realm of sin
· Depravity Applies to YOU: Notice apostasy is a rebellious fall into the sin that personally applies to YOU, and condemns your personal desolation, (even though such desolation is denied by depravity teachers today in Protestantism).
Everything Not of Faith is Sin
Rom_14:23 NKJV But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because he does not eat from faith; for whatever is not from faith is sin.
Heb_11:6 NKJV But without faith it is impossible to please Him…
1Pe 4:11 CAB If anyone speaks, let him speak as the utterances of God. If anyone serves, let him serve as from strength, as God supplies, so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom is the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen.
1Pe 4:11
εἴ τις λαλεῖ,
ὡς λόγια
Θεοῦ· εἴ τις
διακονεῖ, ὡς
ἐξ ἰσχύος ἧς
χορηγεῖ ὁ
Θεός· ἵνα ἐν
πᾶσι
δοξάζηται ὁ
Θεὸς διὰ ᾿Ιησοῦ
Χριστοῦ, ᾧ ἐστιν
ἡ δόξα καὶ
τὸ κράτος εἰς
τοὺς αἰῶνας
τῶν αἰώνων·
ἀμήν.
1Pe 4:11 ει τις λαλει ως λογια θεου ει τις διακονει ως εξ ισχυος Bως TSAης χορηγει ο θεος ινα εν πασιν δοξαζηται ο θεος δια ιησου χριστου ω εστιν η δοξα και το κρατος εις τους αιωνας των αιωνων αμην
The Point: Genesis 3 = deeper than we thought, Very
Foundational & Absolutely Relevant to our lives & the rest of the
Bible…

Mat_5:17
Μὴ
νομίσητε ὅτι ἦλθον
καταλῦσαι
τὸν νόμον ἢ
τοὺς
προφήτας· οὐκ
ἦλθον καταλῦσαι,
ἀλλὰ πληρῶσαι.
Mat_5:18 For assuredly I say to you, until heaven and earth may pass away, one iota or one tittle shall by no means pass away from the law until all things are fulfilled.

ἂν παρέλθῃ ὁ

GENESIS 3
Literal Genesis? Why not literal Bible?
We know how important it is to have a literal creation, flood, and genealogy in Christianity Today, but we lose our brain in figurative fairyland when we keep reading the rest of the Bible, forgetting that Genesis 3 is the foundation for a consistent reading of the entire Bible.
Gnostics Love Eating Forbidden Fruit
Not taking the Bible literally and seriously pretends that sinning is more loving and good than obedience.
Summary:
“The name, Naasenes (Naas = snake in Hebrew) or Ophites (ophis = snake in Greek), was given to certain gnostic heretics; clearly they were snake-worshippers, the snake symbolising the knowledge or wisdom which brought salvation. In Genesis the snake tempts Adam and Eve with the promise of knowledge, and some rediscovered gnostic texts depict the serpent as the ‘goody’ in the story, offering the knowledge needed to escape from the clutches of the ‘baddy’ Creator-God. From the usual point of view they read Genesis upside-down; but what was there to stop them? The serpent was a symbol of wisdom.”

Root error:
Being Comfortable with contradiction!
Saying Jesus was like the serpent in the wilderness, therefore snakes are good
Profaning
Joh_3:
Forgetting:
2Co_5:17
Transitions to an Answer
· Be Irked at Perversion: Hopefully you naturally cringe at the profaning thought of morally inverting the first sin into a positive ideal to admire and praise
· Be Irked at Our Temptations: But we still get tempted to think we’re doing good when we’re sinning
· What’s So Bad?: So why is eating the fruit wrong?
· Do it Apply Today?: Are we really tempted with eating it today?
Sin = Love?
· Fake Sinful Love: My brother talked well of a pastor who sympathized with Adam for ‘deeply loving eve and wanting to be with her’
· Love Saves: Forgetting that real Love SAVES your spouse; it never tolerates sinning with them, therefore…
· Idolatry of Lust: Root sin error includes idolatry of human relationships
Sin = Hate
· Sin Kills: You’ve murdered the entire human race!
· Secular-Liberals Hate: “Throwing the Bible across the room” makes you reckless and destructive to lie, and heartlessly harm and destroy other people
Love = Obedience
Love God and love people is simple?
Just Deuteronomy 6?
No!
Deuteronomy 5 & 6
Love God Keep Commandments
Joh_14:15 NKJV If you love Me, keep My commandments.
Joh_14:21 NKJV He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me…
Joh_15:10 NKJV If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love…
1Jn_5:2 NKJV By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep His commandments.
1Jn_5:3 NKJV For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome.
2Jn_1:6 NKJV This is love, that we walk according to His commandments…
Deu_11:1 NKJV Therefore you shall love the LORD your God, and keep His charge, His statutes, His judgments, and His commandments always.

The day you eat, in dying you will die
The wages of sin are death
Gen_2:16 NKJV And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat;
Gen_2:17 NKJV but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.
Gen_3:19 NKJV …For dust you are, And to dust you shall return.
Sin Makes Death -- When Fully Grown
1Co_15:56 NKJV The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law.
Rom_7:13 NKJV Has then what is good become death to me? Certainly not! But sin… was producing death in me…
Rom_5:12 NKJV Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin…
Eze_18:4 NKJV …The soul who sins shall die.
Eze_18:20 NKJV The soul who sins shall die…
1Jn 5:16 CAB If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin not leading to death, he shall ask, and He shall give him life for those who do not sin unto death. There is a sin leading to death. I do not say that he should ask about that.
1Jn 5:16
᾿Εάν τις ἴδῃ
τὸν ἀδελφὸν
αὐτοῦ ἁμαρτάνοντα
ἁμαρτίαν μὴ
πρὸς
θάνατον, αἰτήσει,
καὶ δώσει αὐτῷ
ζωήν, τοῖς ἁμαρτάνουσι
μὴ πρὸς
θάνατον. ἔστιν
ἁμαρτία
πρὸς θάνατον·
οὐ περὶ ἐκείνης
λέγω ἵνα ἐρωτήσῃ.
1Jn 5:16 εαν τις ιδη τον αδελφον αυτου αμαρτανοντα αμαρτιαν μη προς θανατον αιτησει και δωσει αυτω ζωην τοις αμαρτανουσιν μη προς θανατον εστιν αμαρτια προς θανατον ου περι εκεινης λεγω ινα ερωτηση
1Jn 5:17 All unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin not leading to death [ἔστιν ἁμαρτία οὐ πρὸς θάνατον].
1Jn 5:17
πᾶσα ἀδικία
ἁμαρτία ἐστίν·
καὶ ἔστιν ἁμαρτία
οὐ πρὸς
θάνατον.
Jas 1:14 But each one is tempted by his own lusts, being drawn away and being seduced by them.
Jas 1:14
ἕκαστος δὲ
πειράζεται ὑπὸ
τῆς ἰδίας ἐπιθυμίας
ἐξελκόμενος
καὶ
δελεαζόμενος·
Jas 1:14 εκαστος δε πειραζεται υπο της ιδιας επιθυμιας εξελκομενος και δελεαζομενος
Jas 1:15 Then lust, when it conceives, gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death.
Jas 1:15
εἶτα ἡ ἐπιθυμία
συλλαβοῦσα
τίκτει ἁμαρτίαν,
ἡ δὲ ἁμαρτία
ἀποτελεσθεῖσα
ἀποκύει
θάνατον.
wn, brings forth death.
Rom 6:23 CAB For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Rom 6:23
τὰ γὰρ ὀψώνια
τῆς ἁμαρτίας
θάνατος, τὸ
δὲ χάρισμα
τοῦ Θεοῦ
ζωὴ αἰώνιος
ἐν Χριστῷ ᾿Ιησοῦ
τῷ Κυρίῳ ἡμῶν.
This is an OR Choice,
because of the paralleling preceding authoritative governing context…
Rom 6:16 Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves as obedient slaves, you are slaves to whom you obey, whether of sin resulting in death [μαρτίας εἰς θάνατον], or of obedience resulting in righteousness [ὑπακοῆς εἰς δικαιοσύνην]?
Rom 6:16
οὐκ οἴδατε ὅτι
ᾧ
παριστάνετε ἑαυτοὺς
δούλους εἰς
ὑπακοήν, δοῦλοί
ἐστε ᾧ ὑπακούετε,
ἤτοι ἁμαρτίας
εἰς θάνατον ἢ
ὑπακοῆς εἰς
δικαιοσύνην;
The wages of sin are still death (Rom 6:23) no matter what you do to pretend that ant-christ has covered your sinning…
The Point: Sin always brings death -- when it is complete
Sin Described, Defined, & Named
Genesis 3 Describes sin before the Bible says the word “sin”.
Genesis 3 helps define the very nature of sin before
Genesis 3 seems to be the beginning of sin -- at least from our human perspective.
Note: whenever the Bible is in reverse chronology, it is reversed because that’s the way we experience these events.
So…
Some snake came along and tripped us all up and now we’re sinning.
But sin started before that…
The Fall of Lucifer
Until Sin Was Found In You
Isa_14: Eze_28:
Eze_28:15 NKJV You were perfect in your ways from the day you were created, Till iniquity was found in you.
Eze_28:17 NKJV Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty…
Isa_14:12 NKJV How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning!…
Isa_14:13 NKJV For you have said in your heart: “I will ascend into heaven…”
Isa_14:14 NKJV I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High.

Skepticism: Questioning God's Word
Opinion-ing: Interpreting God's Word

Experientialism: Preferring one's own experience of something instead of taking warning from hearing
Worldliness: Prioritizing human relationships over obeying God

Religion: talking about “God” while connecting to the devil
Self-Deception: Trusting & following your own heart
Pride: wanting to exalt yourself as God even if we sin to get there
We might repeat Gen_3 Sins by…
Determinism: Failing to definitely choose between good & bad -- Denying that you are liable for your choice
Repeating History: Continuing to eat what God has forbidden
See: Sin is Breaking the Law
1Jn_3:4 NKJV Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness.
Rom_7:7 NKJV …I would not have known sin except through the law…
Rom_3:20 NKJV …for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
Jam_2:9 NKJV But if you show partiality, you commit sin, and are convicted by the law as transgressors.
Snake Defilement
Both trees were good
The sin of the snake flowed through the breaking of God's rules with the tree, bringing the contamination and defilement of sin through the otherwise good tree which God made
Multiple Partners
Monogamy condemned multiple partners and was somehow troubled by the snake
Naked
More NAKED than all other animals???

PROSTITUTION was a concern from the beginning

Sin vs. obedience has always been about a choice
Don't let Calvinism, or attitudes of inability / incapability ever excuse you from responsibility to choose between right and wrong, obeying the devil and sin or obeying God's commandments
Sins
· Doubting Disobedience: The foundation of all sin is not believing God enough to take His commands literally -- seriously enough to actually obey.
· Evil & Death -- from Figurative: All of the pain, all of the suffering, all of the death = being liberal, figurative, interpretive, non-lordship with God's saving rules/words
· Self-Idolatry: Self-lording cross examine what God says, instead of obeying it
Salvation
· Seed: Genesis 3:15 called the answer “the seed” of the woman
· Prophet: Moses called him a prophet like himself
· Real Jesus: You need to find the real Jesus who saves us from the sin in Genesis 3

(B) Deeper
Mind: Only Changed by God’s Spirit
Rom_8:4 so that the righteous requirement
of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but
according to the Spirit.
Rom_8:4
ἵνα τὸ
δικαίωμα τοῦ
νόμου πληρωθῇ
ἐν ἡμῖν τοῖς
μὴ κατὰ
σάρκα
περιπατοῦσιν,
ἀλλὰ κατὰ
πνεῦμα·
Rom_8:5 For those who are fleshly set
their minds [φρονοῦσιν] on the things of the flesh, but
those who live according to the Spirit, the
things of the Spirit.
Rom_8:5
οἱ γὰρ
κατὰ σάρκα ὄντες
τὰ τῆς
σαρκὸς φρονοῦσιν,
οἱ δὲ κατὰ
πνεῦμα τὰ
τοῦ
πνεύματος.
Rom_8:6 For the mind [φρόνημα] of the flesh is death, but the
mind [φρόνημα]
of the Spirit is life and
peace.
Rom_8:6
τὸ γὰρ
φρόνημα τῆς
σαρκὸς
θάνατος, τὸ
δὲ φρόνημα
τοῦ
πνεύματος
ζωὴ καὶ εἰρήνη·
Rom_8:7 Therefore the mind [φρόνημα] of the flesh is enmity against
God; for it does not submit to the law of God, nor indeed can it.
Rom_8:7
διότι τὸ
φρόνημα τῆς
σαρκὸς ἔχθρα
εἰς Θεόν· τῷ

cannot please God.

Rom_8:12 Therefore, brothers, we are
debtors--not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.

Rom_8:13 For if you live according to the
flesh you shall die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the practices of the body, you
will live.
Rom_8:13
εἰ γὰρ
κατὰ σάρκα

μέλλετε ἀποθνῄσκειν·
εἰ δὲ

Rom_8:14 For as many as are led by the
Spirit of God, these are sons of God.

Only after you courageously embrace a full realization of your desolation can you sufficiently and successfully apprehend forgiveness.
Once you realize how deep you are in sin (how much you do and how bad it is) then you can appreciate and believe the Good message that you don't have to sin anymore!
Virtually everyone born of flesh trivializes their sin.
Don’t Just Think: I don’t do much of what seems wrong
Think: am I…
· Fulfilling all righteousness
· Being inspired & NOT fleshly
· Perfectly obeying ALL
Sin = breaking the law
1Jo_3:4 NKJV Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness.
Jam_2:9 NKJV but if you show partiality, you commit sin, and are convicted by the law as transgressors.
Why is self-Flattery and Self-Commendation so wrong?
Answer
You’re Flesh ≠ Good!
Fully and enthusiastically embracing the desolation of our own flesh helps us have the integrity to defeat self-flattery and empowers us to consistently and potently love and be changed by the Bible, whether it speaks positively to the righteous or negatively to the sin which we've identified in our flesh.
Identifying Our Sinfulness is not for Our Identity
Identifying the sinfulness of our flesh...
· Helps us combat and overcome the distortions and deceptions of (Bible disobedient) flattery
· Is not an acceptance of how sinful we are.
· Does not make us more sinful, but rather is the first step to being saved from sin.
· Not for the purpose of tolerating and learning to accept and own that identification
When we successfully point out what is bad the contrast helps sharpen our vision to see and identify what is the legitimate Target of good
Successfully Identifying the sinfulness of our flesh does not load us down with unresolvable guilt or hopelessly chain us to the identity of sinfulness, but rather it's springboards us into the hope of the Truth that sets us free from sin.
Identifying our flesh as sinful doesn't embrace and acceptance of being sinful, but rather by identifying what is sinful we are mighty to successfully crucify the body of sin so that we don't have to keep sinning.
Our flesh is enmity against God *
· Our flesh, or more particularly, "the body of sin" (Rom_6:6), is always identified as God's enemy in the Bible.
· The flesh is not excited about talking about God's doomed enemies, because that’s precisely what it is!
· When you are non-fleshly you are encouraged by God’s judgments that bring salvation to the broken!
· We need to soberly consider how our flesh identifies with God's enemies.
· Integrity toward God's Truth demands that we scrutinize "the enemy within" so that our hope of salvation is not sabotaged.
· We need to interrogate and crucify our fleshly selves so that we can come out set free from God's enemy camp, and we might stand a chance of possibly being candidates for being the winners of the Good Message.
· If we are completely humble and repentant, then we might be the targets of triumph in the Good Message - and in fact this is precisely what we find when we consider the Good Message in Isaiah.
* Fleshly Enmity
Jam_4:4 NKJV
Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever
therefore wants to be a friend of the
world makes himself an enemy of God.
1Jo_2:16 NKJV For all
that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride
of life—is not of the Father but is of the world.
Eph_2:3 NKJV among
whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh,
fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as
the others.
Gal_5:16 NKJV I say
then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.
Gal_5:17 NKJV For
the flesh lusts against the Spirit,
and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things
that you wish.
Gal_5:24 NKJV And
those who are Christ’s have crucified
the flesh with its passions and desires.
Rom_6:6 NKJV
Knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with,
that we should no longer be slaves of sin.
Rom_7:18 NKJV For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing
good dwells; for to will is present with me, but how to perform
what is good I do not find.
Rom_8:5 NKJV For
those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the
flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.
Rom_8:6 NKJV For to
be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
Rom_8:7 NKJV
Because the carnal mind is enmity against
God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be.
Rom_8:8 NKJV So
then, those who are in the flesh cannot
please God.
Rom_13:14 NKJV But
put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to
fulfill its lusts.

“the [(un)circumcised] body TSBof the TSBsins of the flesh” = (Col_2:11) = "the body of the sin" = slave-serving sin = “the old man of ours” (Rom_6:6) = a “wretched man I am” (Rom_7:24)
Living according to flesh = mind set on the flesh (Rom_8:5) = Anti-spiritual fleshly lusts and passions, of eyes, pride of life, desires of the mind (1Jo_2:16; Eph_2:3; Gal_5:16-17, Gal_5:24; Rom_13:14) = fleshly inability to please God (Rom_8:8) = The No-Good Flesh (Rom_7:18) = “alienated…enemies…in those wicked works” (Col_1:21) = rebellious, lawless, fleshly minded death = enemy of God (Rom_8:6-7) = Worldly “enemy of God” (Rom_5:10; Rom_11:28; Rom_8:6-7; Jam_4:4) = “children of wrath” (Eph_2:3)

The Point: the anti-spiritual, lawless, old body of no-good sinful flesh wretchedly slave-serves lustful, worldly, prideful sins in evil works as God’s alienated displeasing enemy of hot-anger-wrath.
The evil wretched flesh is God’s hateful enemy; it is NOT something to flatter every Sunday in churches!

11/11/18
you really are more treacherous and evil
and defiled and worthless and sinful and guilty and bloodthirsty than you are
willing to even think or admit.
the question here is not what you are
thinking, but the question is really what are your motives?
most people are so silly that they don't
even realize what the difference between their intentions and their motives are
and they naively and mindlessly and ignorantly assume that they have anything
to do with each other and that they are essentially the same!
but unfortunately we can't even just ask
the seemingly simple question this way because we have to reach deeper because
of your numbness and dullness and imperceptive blindness and seared conscience
that is so hardened and closed and ignorant and blind that you can't even tell
anything that's passing right under your nose in your own heart.
so instead of asking what are your
motives, we probably need to ask what is motivating you?
you think that you are not that bad of a
person and you think that you're not that guilty and you don't think that you
want bad to happen to anyone...
but what you don't realize is that while
you intend to do good but your motives are evil. But since you don't understand
or perceive even the ABCs of the most basic realities of what is going on right
in front of you, we have to put this in other terms that are less used and
abused by your indulgent and Mindless habits.
you
are being motivated by evil.
and now let me open the eyes of any who
are poor and hungry and willing to change...
if you actually think a little bit and
consider the difference between your motives and your intentions then you can
have your eyes open big time.
your intentions are what are in your brain
when you think that you want to do something and set a goal to do it based on
the knowledge and information that you have.
your intentions are the goals which you
choose. these are often active in your brain.
your motives, or even rather, what is
motivating you, is that which actually gives you energy to do what you are
doing...
your motives shape Define and direct the
outcome of your intentions.
sometimes your motives result in an
intention in you, but other times your motives, which actually drive you in the
deepest secrets of your heart, can actually conflict and compete with the
intentions you formulate and choose in your brain.
you may be motivated by money and
therefore you may intend to make money and set goals to become successful. In
this case your motives more directly lead to your intentions. (this of course
naturally gives rise to the real possibility, and even likelihood, of confusing
your motives with your intentions)
other times you may intend to lose weight
but then you may still find yourself overeating because you are motivated by
the lust for food -- in this case your motives, lust, are what actually drive
you and give you energy, and they can not only shape the outcome of your
intentions, but they can downright distort and redirect and even contradict them!
> you don't do what you want to do
because you are in The Flesh and under the law
>> the bible says this proves you
are going to hell
>> Rom_7: > Gal_6: (FULL context!)
so what we see is that intentions can be
potentially positive when you intend to do a good thing, but it is the deep
down motives which give you energy to do things and drive and direct the course
of your life, and these are the much more important and much more revealing
than simply being so shallow as to settle with only considering your
intentions.
so you may indeed imagine yourself to be a
great person and you may flatter yourself in your heart with all kinds of
deceptions and delusions and luxurious indulgences until you are drunk silly
with an inaccurate and foolish misperceptions of your own soul, diluting and
hiding the filthy dirtiness of your soul...
while you yourself in your brain may tell
yourself that you intend to do good to humanity yet if you are like most
people, you are actually motivated by the evil one.
the whole world lies under the sway of the
wicked one
Ephesians energizing
the devil had already put it in the heart
of Judas Iscariot
ironically enough you have plenty of
church people who say they identify with Romans chapter 7 in doing what they
don't want to do, but then they turn around and declare their motors clean as
though they are not being led by the evil one to do what they don't want to do!
oh mindless and contradicting and
illogical inconsistent and dishonest Church hypocrite.....
yes, indeed, your brain may agree with
your mouth and you may tell yourself that you very much intended to do good to
humanity...
but it is not actually your intentions
that matter here because your intentions are not the ultimate guide and energy
and force which directs and shapes the outcome of your actions...
so while your brain intends to do good to
humanity, yet your heart is motivated by the devil who is a murderer...
and the devil doesn't come sneak up into
your heart and announced that he intends to kill people, but he really does
apply his mind to Prudence and strategy in seeking to kill people as skillfully
as he possibly can, and it is his conscious intentional motives to kill people
which is actually what is motivating you
while you don't intend to kill people with
your brain, yet you are really motivated by the energizing of Satan which is
the motivation to kill people.
you intend to do good to people but you
are motivated to kill them even though you won't admit this and you won't even
pause and think and regard knowledge long enough to consider that you are
motivated to kill people... but it doesn't matter what your shallow pea brain
thanks, you are indeed a murderer at heart...
the devil was a murderer from the
beginning
false prophets lie in wait to deceive and
turn you away from the truth as a predator seeking to kill

The Flesh Is More Evil Than You Think It
Is
3/31/24 (presented)
Wife Conference Notes
3/31/24
We got to first believe that people are
really, really, really evil. Even Moses had to come to terms with this (ex he
thought they would know that God sent him to help his brothers...by the time
Moses was cooperating with God to write the Bible he wholeheartedly believed
and declared that "you are a stiff necked people")
Modern evangelistic efforts are pathetic
because they don't believe that the flesh is that evil.
The foundation of humanity is that they
are evil. Witnessing can be counterintuitive because we are often affected
& swayed by the sincerity of people.
You need to believe that people are
atrociously evil, AND when you might talk to people they need to believe that
they really are that messed up and in need.
God can be nice to you through evil people
by making them cooperate with the mechanics that He built into them, but that
is not THEM being nice to you. The best they can do on their own is flatter
you. Their kindnesses towards you is mechanical and circumstantial. You can
become more and more soured of a human by rebelling against this. They can only
become more and more in the negatives as a human. They cannot become
exceptionally virtuous unless/until they are standing against injustice by
faith.
Do you really believe that the flesh is as
evil as the Bible points out?
Examples:
Rom_3:9-18
All flesh, both Jew and Greek, are under
sin
There is not one righteous
No one puts two and two together
No flesh seeks after God
All have inclined out and gone out of the
way
They all have become useless (unprofitable
as a spiritual person)
There is no one doing good, NO NOT ONE
Their throat is an open grave
With their tongues they use deceit
Poison is under their lips
Mouths are full of cursing and bitterness
Feet are swift to shed blood
Destruction and misery in their way
They have not known the way of peace
There is no fear of God before their eyes
Rom_7:18 "In my flesh NOTHING good dwells"
Eph 2
Strangers to the Covenant
Having no (real) hope
Without God
Practical atheists in the world
Col 2
Their self willed pseudo worship has no
power to humble themselves or stop the indulgence of the flesh. They are still
indulgent!
John 3 sinning children of the devil
You boast that God forgave you of your
sins but...
2 Corin 11 says you put up with other
jesuses
And Joshua 24 says, 'You can't serve God
because he is holy and jealous, and you serve other gods, thus he will not
forgive your sins'
Rich, strong, and sufficient people are
most vulnerable to these woes
...
You really have to get this reality down
in your heart so that you can repent of the flesh, and so that you can testify
against people to repent of the flesh
---------------
10/28/18; 5/4/19
Genesis 6
people in the business world would not normally
relate to why something condemned in the Bible such as loving money or kissing
toward the glory of the Sun would in any way be related to something that is so
totally rotten and wicked...
job says that he would be willing to let
his arm fall off or his life Perish away in judgment if he did any such thing
as not give to the poor or if he was secretly kissing toward the Sun...
you got to admit that at first glance this
is not something that humans immediately recognized as totally atrocious and irreverent
in deeply Twisted in wickedness
but in theory church people have been
trained by Sunday school to know that this is supposed to be bad so therefore
since they are not tempted by it they proudly declare themselves to be free of
it without any evidence or testing or proof
but in the same way that kissing the sun
is not at first recognized as being Totally Wicked and yet is harshly condemned
by the Bible, so also all luxury and all Indulgence and all subtle pride and
all raining Kings without truth Proclaimers is harshly condemned and threatened
with eternal torture... and hatred from God...
the truth is just like secular people
can't relate many things that are abominable to the Bible so also all church
people cannot relate to the actual strict stringent standards of the Bible that
condemn religious people and that attack subtle things that people have no clue
are actually completely Wicked and wrong...
what is highly esteemed among men ( of
secular and virtually all religious people) is abomination before God
religious people read the Bible totally
different than Bible obeyers read it.
Bible obeyers read the Bible carefully
listening to every word because they know that their soul is on the line while
religious people just let things go in one ear and out the other.
most people's
conscience is so dense and insensitive and seared because their standard is so
low.
even the most
horrifying and gross fleshliness and prideful Self Indulgence and self-centered
confidence is considered a healthy element as though God accepts their
perverted Humanity
>> som: a
more sensitive conscience

it is a
complete outrage of luxury that you are happy and boasting
with bragging with vain confidence with what you've got when the council of all
truth finally passes by this rotten and disgusting and evil and desolate
perverted satanic age
...
you have
absolutely no real love that cares at all about people’s real value of obeying
ALL the Bible / not sinning / (or any care or love about who I really am)
...
you hate the
truth and kindness of Jesus
...
· Bible disobedient -- much less are you even generally obeying of the bible (not to mention all of it!),
---------------
you are going to contradict a Bible verse?
of course you're not saved!

sick pervert
(Soul-ish-ly) connecting to dirty
spiritual things while living in sin
copycat antichrist clown

modest, shy, completely abstinent & inactive outside of marriage)
No Right to Declare Anything
3/15/19 -- continued
you as a flesh ball and soulish,
unspiritual ignorant (biblically illiterate) sinner have absolutely no right or
prerogative at all whatsoever to define any sacred terminology or make any
certain or bold declarations about Truth...
our faith is not subject to your whimsical
impressions or impersonations...
you have no part or lot in our heritage of
proclamation or our Scriptures or our God or our faith
...
Flattery
3/15/19 -- continued
we reject all flattery and, great swelling
words of emptiness
...
the goal of the monotheistic hope of the
real Gospel of the scriptures is for you to repent and stop your solish
spiritual activity, not to enhance it!
…
2/19/19; 5/4/19
Not caring that you have not heard the
whole Bible yet
Not hearing the word of God from us
Not thinking you have to be obeying all
the Bible to inherit heaven
Being bold without divine inspiration
Perishing in the way of Korah's rebellion
by saying that everyone is saved here
Not demanding absolute 100% sexual purity
Not Modest
Not caring that you do not have the
heritage of the Shunammite in song of Songs
3/5/19
of course you're not saved since you have
sin in your life
you have sin in your life if you are not
obeying Ruth and the Philippian jailer - those are people who were REALLY
saved!
the scripture cannot be broken
one letter will not in no way fall from
the law
go from the presence of a foolish man when
you do not perceive in him the words of knowledge

Genesis 6
Malachi 2 - you Are constantly going about doing things that are more disgusting than having toilet excrement on your face
you are not a friend of God, but God says very clearly that you are his enemy
you are appealing to Natural things like your experience or your age over the truth!
>> Scrip:
No-wording brute beasts made to be captured and destroyed....
you are being mindless which is the work of The Flesh and you appeal to Natural things as though you don't have any obligation to logos...
of course you're going to hell!
you're a dirty pervert wallowing in Gross excretemeant worse than human feces! of corse God is disgusted with you and hates your defiled, proud, arrogant perverted countenance and is ready to be rid of your disgusting perversion and endless crimes!
what insane Madness are you going about doing all day with your life?
from your rising up in the morning to your going to bed you go about and following foolishness and arrogance and ignorance and blindness and perversion... you might as well have a bone in your head instead of a brain because you never even think or use anything that you're required to do reasonableness with!
you remark how impressed you are with meaningless vanity and entertainment, and you are completely mindless, numb, imperceptive and oblivious to important life-saving truth that could save you from your embarrassing worthless life...
you act like you have no clue why someone would suggest that you're not saved, and you walk around naked and I'm calling your bluff that the emperor has no clothes!

Joh_9:41 – claiming to see
Because you say I am rich
Act_26:17-18 NKJV “I now send you, to open their eyes, in order to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me.”
Joh_8:12 NKJV Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”
Joh_9:39-41 NKJV And Jesus said, “For judgment I have come into this world, that those who do not see may see, and that those who see may be made blind.” Then some of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these words, and said to Him, “Are we blind also?” Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say, ‘We see.’ Therefore your sin remains.”
Rev_3:17-18 NKJV “Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked—I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed… and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see.”
2Co_4:4-6 NKJV …whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ… should shine on them. For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
Mat_13:14-15 NKJV “Hearing you will hear and shall not understand, And seeing you will see and not perceive; For the hearts of this people have grown dull. Their ears are hard of hearing, And their eyes they have closed…”
I will send you scribes
I will send you to open their eyes -- said to Paul
Isa_6:5 NKJV So I said: “Woe is me, for I am undone! Because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; For my eyes have seen the King, The Lord of hosts.”
Luk_5:8 NKJV When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord!”
Job_42:5-6 NKJV “I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear, But now my eye sees You. Therefore I abhor myself, And repent in dust and ashes.”
Luk_24:31-32 NKJV Then their eyes were opened and they knew Him; and He vanished from their sight. And they said to one another, “Did not our heart burn within us while He talked with us on the road…?”

>>TSK
The flesh doesn't know its own errors, and it so frequently depends on others to tell it if anyone else has anything wrong.
The Point: The Flesh doesn't know its own sin, nor anyone else’s -- so acknowledge how desolate you are!
Are you a Logical Person?
· It depends on what you mean, but if someone asked me, I’d typically say…
· “NO, I’m not a logical person, but I can’t help but Love the Truth therefore I have been conquered and completely dominated by logic!”
· Logic is the way and the goal of Truth
· Joh_1:1 -- In the beginning was the word/logic
· Joh_14:6 -- I am the way the Truth and the life
Flesh's Hostility Toward God
The flesh resents God.
It says He, His rules, & His Proclaimers are unfair, restrictive, joy-killing, intrusive, and not truly good.
-- Under Construction --
The Flesh
Finds Fault With God Himself
What Injustice you found in God?
Jer_2:5 NKJV Thus says the LORD: “What injustice have your fathers found in Me, That they have gone far from Me, Have followed idols, And have become idolaters?”
Jer_2:13 NKJV For My people have committed two evils: They have forsaken Me, the fountain of living waters, And hewn themselves cisterns—broken cisterns that can hold no water.
Jer_2:19 NKJV Your own wickedness will correct you, And your backslidings will rebuke you. Know therefore and see that it is an evil and bitter thing That you have forsaken the LORD your God, And the fear of Me is not in you
Harshness Blasphemed Against God
Eze_18:25 NKJV Yet you say, ‘The way of the Lord is not fair.’
Mal_3:14 NKJV You have said, ‘It is useless to serve God’
Isa_30:9 NKJV That this is a rebellious people, Lying children, Children who will not hear the law of the LORD
Isa_30:10 NKJV Who say to the seers, “Do not see,” And to the prophets, “Do not prophesy to us right things; Speak to us smooth things, prophesy deceits.”
The Flesh
is Always Denying God’s Logical Love
Mal_1:2 NKJV “I have loved you,” says the LORD. “Yet you say, ‘In what way have You loved us?’
Jos_24:15 NKJV And if it seems evil to you to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve
Pro_8:36 NKJV But he who sins against me wrongs his own soul; All those who hate me love death.
2Co_10:10 NKJV For his letters, they say, are weighty and powerful, but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech contemptible.
Vs.
1Th_2:13 NKJV When you received the word of God which you heard from us, you welcomed it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God
Delegation Exists & is
Biblically Valid
Luk_10:16 NKJV He who hears you hears Me, he who rejects you rejects Me, and he who rejects Me rejects Him who sent Me.
Joh_8:47 NKJV He who is of God hears God’s words; therefore you do not hear, because you are not of God.
Rom_8:7 NKJV Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be.
Col_1:21 NKJV And you, who once were alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works
Jam_4:4 NKJV Friendship with the world is enmity with God. Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.
Joh_7:7 NKJV The world cannot hate you, but it hates Me because I testify of it that its works are evil.
The Point: Flesh Hates God!
It’s an Alienated, Un-submissive, Evil, Hatful Enemy
Rom_8:7 NKJV Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be.
Psa_2:2 NKJV The kings of the earth set themselves, And the rulers take counsel together, Against the LORD and against His Anointed
Psa_2:3 NKJV “Let us break Their bonds in pieces And cast away Their cords from us.”
Luk_19:14 NKJV But his citizens hated him, and sent a delegation after him, saying, ‘We will not have this man to reign over us.’
Rom_1:28 NKJV And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge
Joh_3:19 NKJV This is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
Joh_3:20 NKJV For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed.
Hating Instruction & Discipleship
Psa_50:17 NKJV Seeing you hate instruction And cast My words behind you
Joh_15:24 NKJV If I had not done among them the works which no one else did, they would have no sin; but now they have seen and also hated both Me and My Father.
Eph_4:18 NKJV Having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God
Psa_10:4 NKJV The wicked in his proud countenance does not seek God; God is in none of his thoughts.
Psa_14:1 NKJV The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.”
When you’ve lived in sin for so long, it can be hard to hope that you
could ever find mercy
Here is the realty of hopelessness some can feel…
Without hope and Without God / atheists in the world

Jer_6: Didn’t even know how to blush
Worse Bragging Better
Thinking You're Better, when Being
Worse
Worse Boasting Better
Worse,
& Yet Boasting to Better
· Adventism -- they keep more Bible rules (like Sabbath)??
· JWs (Jehovah's Witness), Mormons -- they know the church is apostate???
· KJVo -- they’re more “conservative”/fundamentalist??
· Flat Earth -- they are more “correct/truth loving”/fundamentalist???
· …& many other conspiracy theories
· Annihilationists -- they are more studious or have good points?
· Ransom Theory of Atonement
· PSA deniers -- they are more early church/original/historical????
· Preterists -- they think almost all End-Times predictions already happened in the past, mostly recorded in history
Church of Christ
Darwinism -- as if it is more scientific!
Freethinking as if mindlessness discovers the truth…
Atheism is a fundamental sinning against you human brain and therefore blaspheming the moral sacredness and duty to believe in, fear, and zealously obey God
Free thinking examples
Skipping rules, being mindless, being worse and thinking you're better...
Flat Earth ≈ KJVo ≈ Darwinism = All liberal mindless Freethinking
It's often wrongly imagined that you're actually better than others by believing these buffooneries, when reality is that being a free thinking liberal who skips over the rules is not better but worse.
These are classic examples of apostasy denial by flattering yourself into thinking you're better and ignoring your desolation and total blindness and depravity.
So is the way of all Bible disobedience – it is freethinking exactly like the principles of atheism
you are wrong because you are sinning and violating against the sacredness of the logical brain that God gave you to point right back to the character of who he is. You are obligated by the logical brain implanted in your head to acknowledge morality and the binding obligations of fearing and acknowledging the Almighty Creator of everything
Having a different opinion or figurative interpretation of the Bible is not your right or prerogative, it's your damnable heresy and rebellious disobedience of abominable desolation
Because of this a church person is worse than an atheist when they knowledge their moral obligations written in the Scriptures, and conscientiously choose to go directly against the Truth of what the Bible literally directly actually says
…
You have a reputation of being alive but you are dead
Indeed, these movements and philosophies and denominations are worse than average
But these extreme examples are not the only ones guilty of embarrassing boasting
Boasting from inferiority is what all church people do...
Walk into any church and look at what they emphasize the most and that is what they are most wrong about.
Example:
Baptist love to boast about salvation and that is what they are most heretical and blasphemous about.
So all church people need to repent of being worse and boasting better
Ignoring the problem does not make you further along to a solution so that you should boast down against those who are more honestly afflicted than yourself
Disregarding direct experience
Exalting folly
Ignoring the problem is also part of avoiding your own desolation and failing to beg
You must be the first to self-identify your own weaknesses and desolations
You must catch up to other people's afflictions before you go about boasting a better solution whenever you have been ignoring the problem from the first place to begin with
Lots of mindless free thinking heresies came around in the 1800s

Doctrine Of Apostasy
Love-Israel.htm#ApostasyofAbrahamsSeed
Act_20:20; 2Ti_3 – 4
100s AD Early Church was True (Persecuted, Hardcore, Clean!)
300s AD Church became Apostate (Adulterated, Secular, Catholic)
400s AD Church became Idolatrous (Icons, Villains, Corruption)
1000s AD Church became Philosophical ("Intellectual")
1400s ad Church became Pornographic (Sistine Chapel, etc.)
1500s AD Church became Protestant (Justified Sinfulness)
1600s AD Church became Ritualistic (Dry, “Formal”, Theoretical)
1700s AD Church became Evangelical (Zealous, Compromised, Imperfect)
1800s AD Church became Goofy (Feminism, Intellectual Dishonesty, Misguided Zeal)
1900s AD Church became Easy (Extremely Secular, Liberal, Immoral, Easy Salvation)
2000s AD it's high time Church got Saved! (Repent, Stop Sinning, Obeying ALL!)
The imperfections of churchy flesh have left us with the absolute disaster we have today with churchianity. We absolutely must repent and get clean and True and righteous like the early church and even more complete with Truth to bring us through the deceptions and rebellions of the End Times.
11/2/25; 11/5/25
We all know that the church is apostate
· All you have to do is look… -- in the Bible & in church today
· There is an abundance of clear and direct disobedience
· No head coverings
· immodesty
· Adulterous remarriage
· Feminism
· Etc.
We need to stop pretending that apostasy is unclear, when it is in blaring daylight!
It’s not just because of shallow problems
It’s not just because of…
· Traditional heresies, like JW’s, Mormons, etc.
· They don’t have a vibrant “relationship” with their god
· They’re socially liberal
2/24/24…2/28/24
Sin = key aspect!
Apostasy is closely related to Desolation.
They both prove how bad and evil we are.
Jer_2:19 – evil & apostasy will correct you with bitterness
>> Scrip:
2Pe_2:4-6
2Pe_2:7-9 – RIGHTEOUS Lot contrasted with sinning unrighteous
apostates
· Notice that church people today don’t like to celebrate Lot’s righteousness that much
· Apostates see him as lacking virtue, because he still condemns their apostasy unto this day!
2Pe_2:10-22 – cannot cease from sin
a key feature of apostate unrighteous
counterfeit moral criminals is that they cannot cease from sin
2Pe_2:16 – going outside of law, makes you
outside of your mind
Jud_1:
–
Promising them freedom
Jud_1:4-6 – Grace perversion is explicitly
predicted for end-times sinning deception
Today’s grace is UNBELIEF that results in
being destroyed!
(Jud_1:6 – Hercules/superman principle)
Jud_1:7 – real justice = continuous fire
for sexual murder
Jud_1:11 – associated with murder:
Cain & Balaam’s lust trap that
resulted in thousands of people dying
Blasphemy
Jud_1:8-
Eze_18:24-26 – righteous turn away from righteousness… & sins
Eze_33:1-33 –
Psa_78:16-36 – Yet they sinned still more against him
1Ki_22:51-53 – Ahaziah the son of Ahab… did evil…sin
Rom_3:11-4:13 – all sinned & turned aside
Mat_24:12 – lawlessness = cold love
>see: Nave's examples!
See: PredestinedEndTimes
Immorality
Jud_1:8, etc.
So, Fight for the traditions
including Purity:

2/29/24…3/5/24
Church pervert rebels need to stop denying
deception (and apostasy)!!!
They defiantly directly fight against soe
of the most clear and explicit verses in the Bible (esp. about end times).
Matthew, Mark, & Luke all remember
this as an essentially exact quote (not paraphrased) -- and church people are
the only ones not taking this seriously!
“watch” = proactively throw your sight so
that no one deceives you
Approach apostasy with your eyes open and
don’t play any games of compromise!
Similar to 2Th_2: don’t lose your mind!
Mat_24:4, Mat_24:11; Mar_13:5; Luk_21:8 a – have caution to not let anyone deceive you!
This is the very first thing to obey when
it comes to the temple destruction prophecy!
Mat_24:5; Mar_13:6; Luk_21:8 b – Many will come in Jesus name and deceive many
Notice you’re not allowed to say this is
Muslims, like John McArthur, etc.
Muslims can participate in the end times,
but that’s not DECEPTION for Bible obeyers to “watch out” against deception!
Mat_24:15; Mar_13:14; Luk_21:20 – Let him put two and two together to understand.
Correlates with when you see Jerusalem surrounded
>>> get quote about Bible readers
recognizes
2Pe_2:1-3 – stealthfully…faked words
· Many follow them, because they deny the reality of deception
· YOU/the church are the target, not just the rest of the world!
· 2Pe_2:3 – plastered/molded/formed/created/artificial words
2Pe_2:12 – illogical, physical, animalistic
2Pe_2:16 – going outside of law, makes you
outside of your mind
Jud_1:8 – dreaming
>>Scrip:
Make my people to err with their dreams
Jud_1:10 – illogical, soulish beasts
Notice the mindlessness that they commit
which is forbidden in:
2Th_2:
Know up again. Let him be doing
mindfulness.
Apostasy ≠ overt “turning away” – that would not be deception!
Wicked wolves and hard hearted liars are telling you
that apostasy is willful when the Bible explicitly teaching it DECEPTIVE!
Notice that apostasy deniers are deception
deniers.

In Luk_18:8
Jesus asks a very pointed question:
Luk_18:8 CAB I tell you that He will
execute justice for them speedily. Nevertheless [πλὴν], when the Son of Man comes,
will He really [ἆρα] find faith on
[ἐπὶ – upon] the earth [τῆς γῆς – the land]?"
Luk_18:8 λέγω
ὑμῖν ὅτι
ποιήσει τὴν
ἐκδίκησιν αὐτῶν
ἐν τάχει.
πλὴν ὁ Υἱὸς
τοῦ ἀνθρώπου
ἐλθὼν ἆρα εὑρήσει
τὴν πίστιν ἐπὶ
τῆς γῆς;
This Verse Applies to Real Obeyers, NOT
church People
· They are being sinned against (Luk_18:1-8)
· They are hurting and longing for real justice (church people can’t claim that because they are always sinning and doing the injustice themselves)
· They are always praying
· They are both righteous and they are crying out to God (getting loud) -- compare that to lazy churchianity… (they never get those two combinations because they can’t even get the first one)
Looking around today, Jesus’ Words are
indeed very relevant and in grave danger of overtaking us, except to wicked
hypocrites who pretend that there are plenty of believers today – and they make
Jesus’ Words out to be nothing…
As a church person, you’re going to say
“yes, he can very easily find faith on the earth when happily returning to the
millions or billions of Christians everywhere!”
But this naivety is worse than “Mr. too quick” who thinks he can be Jesus’ disciple without deeply considering the implications of reality when it comes to following the real Jesus (as seen in DTA).
Jesus asked this convicting question for
very good reasons, and if you dismiss them you are disobeying the attitude that
He is teaching us to have about the end times.
Jesus is reinforcing the same context
that is prophesies countless times in the Scriptures, such as Malachi 3 – 4.
Mal_4:4 WEB "Remember the law of Moses my servant,
which I commanded to him in Horeb for all Israel, even statutes and ordinances.
Mal_4:4 LB “Remember the law of My
servant Moses, accordingly as I charged him with it in Horeb for all Israel,
even the commandments and ordinances.
Mal_4:4 (3:22) καὶ ἰδοὺ
ἐγὼ ἀποστέλλω ὑμῖν
Ηλιαν τὸν Θεσβίτην
πρὶν ἐλθεῖν ἡμέραν
κυρίου τὴν μεγάλην
καὶ ἐπιφανῆ,
Mal_4:5 WEB Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet
before the great and terrible day of Yahweh comes.
Mal_4:5 And, behold, I
will send to you Elijah the Tishbite, before the great and glorious day of the
Lord comes;
Mal_4:5 (3:23) ὃς ἀποκαταστήσει
καρδίαν πατρὸς
πρὸς υἱὸν καὶ
καρδίαν ἀνθρώπου
πρὸς τὸν πλησίον
αὐτοῦ, μὴ ἔλθω
καὶ πατάξω τὴν
γῆν ἄρδην.
Mal_4:6 WEB He will turn the hearts of the fathers to the
children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers, lest I come and strike the earth with a curse [devotion/anathema / total destruction were no one survives]."
Mal_4:6 who shall turn
again the heart of the father to the son, and the heart of a man to his
neighbor, lest I come and smite the earth
grievously.”
Mal_4:6 (3:24) μνήσθητε
νόμου Μωυσῆ τοῦ
δούλου μου, καθότι
ἐνετειλάμην αὐτῷ
ἐν Χωρηβ πρὸς πάντα
τὸν Ισραηλ
προστάγματα
καὶ δικαιώματα.
(Note: there are lots of textual variants
to consider, but hopefully comparing MT & LXX gets a general idea.)
Also, See: Luke 1 & the transfiguration (in ETO) for more on this “restoration” teaching in the Bible.
The Earth in Luke & Malachi
· Luk_18:8: “will He really [ἆρα] find faith on [ἐπὶ – upon] the earth [τῆς γῆς – the land]?” (CAB)
· Mal_4:6: ‘…so I won’t come and completely’ “strike the earth” (WEB) (with total destruction, sparing no one)
We see that when Jesus comes He’s about to
destroy everyone, but He sends repentance through the two witnesses in the same
way as John the Baptist prepared the way for Jesus first comming.
So…
Malachi, at the end of the 12 Prophets
[the end of the Protestant Old Testament] says that if Moses and Elijah don't
come to restore all things, when God is about to come He would completely
strike the Earth with a total destruction where no one survives (MT LXX
essentially agree with only minor details varying).
This is the same “anathema” that Moses and Joshua obeyed when conquering the land of Canaan: destroy everything that breaths (i.e. if they have not forsaken all and fled for refuge in a foreign land, which spiritually correlates for obeyers in Heb_6:18).
The Earth would be completely ruined if
Moses (Mal_4:4) and Elijah (Mal_4:5)
don't come and restore all things! (as also seen in the Mount of
Transfiguration and Rev_11)
This is the foundational hope of the Old
Covenant as we await the revelation of the New Covenant...
This is exactly why Jesus asks His
critical question if He’ll find faith on the earth, because real faith is in critical danger of going totally
extinct in the end times, and pretending otherwise is simple
Bible mindless illogical disobedience and filthy apostate rebellion and
apostasy denial!
This is also exactly why Jesus gives John
the revelation of the Two Witnesses (Revelation 11) as one of our final hopes
for Truth in the end times, to reveal who the real Jesus really is, before it’s
too late, lest we all get caught up in doomed apostasy when Jesus comes back
with fiery wrath in His eyes to destroy all His enemies…

Saying they won’t is willful perversion

Moses included multi-generations of Israel

Jesus, just like Moses, keeps saying “you”

group called “you” won’t be there!

· They fled for refuge

spirit independent of Moses (“As for this Moses, the man who
brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him”) just exactly like church people do
today against all the righteous who have proclaimed Truth to them.

Apostasy Denial Is Logically
Illegal
2/17/24; 2/24/24
Behold someone talking about apostasy and
simultaneously denying that it will happen to those who the Bible says will get
deceived:
“Clearly these events will follow some
sort of well-established pattern such that Bible readers
and sign watchers will be able to discern that the end is at hand and take
appropriate precautions.”
https://ca.thegospelcoalition.org/article/10-things-you-should-know-about-the-great-apostasy/
2/28/24
They “willfully forget” (2Pe_2: apostasy) that it will “deceive even
the elect if possible” with “STRONG delusion”
https://www.quora.com/Why-is-it-claimed-that-The-Church-is-in-a-state-of-apostasy-when-no-specific-examples-are-given
We all know that the church is apostate.
As they say:
the only reason anyone is
ignorant is because they ignore it.
Church people and disbelievers have this in
common, very much so:
The secularist and the humanist downplay
and trivialize their sin in proactive denial of their obvious and overt
wretchedness
They flatter themselves and pretend that
they are a good person when everyone knows that humans are rotten and evil to
the core, and desolation deniers are just playing fool Harty games of
outrageous ridiculousness and start ignorance of the education of monotheism
that has been gloriously accomplished in modern societies.
The church person trivializes and denies
their sin and wretched desolation even more than the disbeliever and secular
humanist on the street:
The church person pretends like the church
is not apostate, and they trivialize their sin as though it's not sending them to
hell and as though it's not something to be desperately begging for salvation
from
The secularist and the church person are
together alike are being outrageously ridiculous intrivializing and denying
their sin and it's morbid and deathly consequences.
The church person worst of all denies that
they are in an awful state of desolation and they trivialize the guilt and
horrible condemnation looming over them, pretending like they are not so bad
off in their apostasy and denying the reality of liability and their doomed
responsibility for their horrible luxurious prideful wretched sinfulness and
complete another ignorance of God or any real knowledge.
Today's apostasy is truly undeniable
because
(1) the Bible very clearly predicted
apostasy, and ...
(2) Global Apostasy is objectively
observable everywhere today
it has been clearly and absolutely
confirmed with no shadow of a doubt
But even though the Bible predicted and we
now clearly see the undeniable proof of global apostasy today, part of that
rebellion of apostasy is to have an astonishingly rebellious attitude of
denying the apostasy right under their nose in the Bible and right in front of
their face in church when they look up
One of the great profound striking manifestations
of the rebellious apostasy today is that church people have such an amazingly
rebellious attitude of apostasy denial, when talking about apostasy.
Apostasy denial is a horrifyingly dirty
conscience and a bad heart that is in obstinate denial and ferocious rebellion
against the convincing proof of its horrible sinfulness and desolation
>>Scrip:
The good ground receives with a good heart
Apostasy denial is an evil conscience
How Many Are Apostate?
1Ti_4:1 – some will depart from the faith
some ?
Church people say that “some” means not
all, and therefore not the majority
As if the english word “Some” proves that
the apostasy is not essentially universal but only very limited
…
Church people pretend like it's only some
people who will apostate and therefore it's not the majority
But some does not specify what percentage
is included, especially in the Greek Bible
Some today might imply a minority
depending on which English dialect you speak and what presuppositions you're
bringing to the text, but that is definitely not specified by the Greek New
Testament in 1st Timothy 4:1
Some, only means some, and it doesn't mean
the minority or the majority but it is left unspecified and therefore since we
have to be obeying all the Bible to inherit heaven we have to submit to other
Bible verses to tell us what the particular essence and percentage might be of
apostasy to come in church
The pre-flood is our example warning
7/3/26
The pre flood world is an example of how
much apostasy is to come.
God was so angry with humans who were
completely given over to evil that he was ready to destroy the whole world.
Only know I found favor and saved eight people
Jesus absolutely made it clear that the
end times would correlate with this kind of dreadful apostasy:
>>Scrip:
As it was in the days of Noah so it will
be in the days of the coming of the son of man
Remember lot's wife!
As with lot escaping Sodom and Gomorrah so
also we are supposed to not look back
Israel's apostasy is our warning and
example!
7/3/26
We already have the nation of Israel as
the example of apostasy.
They were constantly rebelling against
Moses and talking about stoning Aaron, and only two spies came back with a good
report to make it into the promised land.
Don't ever say that Israel's apostasy
teaches us that most church people are going to win this race!
…
Apostasies of rebellion are always the
vast majority of people in a certain Faith group
Paul's warnings to the Thessalonians are
meaningless if it is merely a little unfaithfulness or rattling of
unfaithfulness when some depart from the faith - the Christian apostasy that
Paul warns us against has to be definitive and encompassing and remarkably
widespread and overtaking to fall in the category of rebellion and apostasy
That's what apostasy is all throughout the
Bible - it's not some isolated failure or little defection where some means the
minority depart from the faith just as they always have throughout all of
history of Israel and the church, but an apostasy has to be a wide sweeping
essentially global event in order to be called apostasy and put in the theology
of apostasy throughout the whole Bible
To say that some departing from the faith
is a minority of people who apostate is an essential category error - a minor
departure from the faith of some Christians is not the category of apostasy
throughout the whole Bible
There is such a thing as individual
rebellion apostasy - but individual apostasy does not count as the coming
apostasy of the lawless one that leads massive religious Church identity astray
and leaves only a remnant of Truth on the Earth
Again, calling apostasy as if it does not
include the majority of church pretends like the doctrine of remnant is
meaningless
There's always an apostasy of God's people
and there's always a remnant according to the election of God's Divine favor
Otherwise you wouldn't call it apostasy
and you wouldn't call it remnant unless virtually everyone falls away and the
small fragmentary minority finds truth to be saved from the dreadful rebellion
and dark failure of those who used to represent truth and have now become
worshipers of Satan...
Is apostasy easy to spot?
2Th_2: says STRONG delusion -- not weak!
Wicked church people keep talking about external threats to the church and pervets keep talking aobut nostics and strange heresies that are easy to spot
World Apostates?
GotQuestions perverts say they believe the
apsotasy happen after the rapture!
7/3/26
That is NOT an apostasy!
Everyone Denies The Apostasy
2/24/24
Pretty much everyone denies the apostasy and
one form or fashion and to one degree or the other.
Pretty much the entire church has been in
denial of apostasy for almost 2,000 years.
The Catholic Church outright denies the
great apostasy that started climaxing in the late 200s and culminated in the
council of Nicea, because their very essence as Catholics is established by
laying claim to an 'unbroken succession to the apostles', which is absolutely
absurd in light of how lawless and dirty and sinful to Catholic church is.
you simply can't claim to have an unbroken
succession to the apostles when every single link after the 200s is broken
right in front of our eyes, for the whole world to behold.
Protestant is in seems to acknowledge an
apostasy because that is the basis of being Protestant and rejecting the
Catholic Church, however they of course congratulate themselves as though they
rebirth Christianity or return to anything original when in fact they went back
to the Post apostate nastiness of Augustine!
So Protestantism is based on pretending to
point out an apostasy only to embody the exact same profanity upon which it is
built. You can't claim exclusion to the apostasy you pretend to confront when
you're doing the exact same essence of its errors and fellowshiping with the
exact same fathers of its filth.
Because of this, protestantism pretends to
point out apostasy yet in reality and in actual practice, denies that they are
a part of it, when everyone can plainly see that they are.
Similarly, restoration movements today
make a claim that they are pointing out apostasy, and even go to Great lengths
sometimes to at least document that apostasy is very real, but those who are
called restorationists and varying degrees and flavors and fashions, almost

There are clearly many more examples of early
apostasy, as seen above.
“Hegesippus, a historian of the period
immediately following apostolic times (A.D. 110-180), is quoted by Eusebius in
his Ecclesiastical History as saying:
the church continued until then
as a pure virgin and uncorrupt virgin: whilst if there were any at all
attempted to pervert the sound doctrine of the saving gospel, they were yet
skulking in dark retreats; but when the sacred choir of apostles became
extinct, and the generation of those that had been privileged to hear their
inspired wisdom had passed away, then also the combination of impious errors
arose by fraud and delusions of false teachers. These also, as there were none
of the apostles left, henceforth attempted, without shame to preach their false
doctrine against the gospel of truth.[4]”

(editor), Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers: Series 2 (Vol. 1-14) (New York:

Cyprian
"We also have the testimony of
Cyprian, the bishop of Carthage, North Africa, who served from A.D. 248-258.
Cyprian paints a stark and disturbing picture of apostasy among the Christians
of his day. Bishops, he said, had lost their own devotion to God’s service
(some even abandoning their congregations) and the clergy had lost their
integrity. The Saints had become insatiably greedy, had lost their compassion
for the needy, had become proud, and behaved in undisciplined ways. Christians
were marrying pagans, practicing perjury, commmitting fraud, displaying
contempt for authority, and even betraying their faith. Cyprian argued that
since the Saints had sunk to such low levels of depravity they rightly deserved
the harsh judgments of God."

“The most troubling thing
about this thesis [that there was a great apostacy in the first centuries of the church], to me as a Catholic and
especially as an historian, is that it is almost completely impervious to fact. Even when presented with the very
earliest of the Church Fathers — say, the authors of the Didache (c. A.D. 70s),
who suggest Baptism by effusion (pouring) as a valid alternative to immersion;
Clement of Rome (c. A.D. 70s?), who argues for authority by apostolic
succession; or Ignatius of Antioch (c. A.D. 107), who clearly states his belief
in the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist, and unequivocally places local
authority in the hands of a single, pastoral bishop — proponents of this “Great
Apostasy” theory reject such writings, arguing that, since these doctrines do
not fit with their own biblical interpretations, it demonstrates that the
Church had already fallen away from “biblical truth,” even within the lifetimes
and memories of the Apostles and within the era of New Testament authorship.”
“why could not the Holy
Spirit, whom the Lord promised would guide His people into all truth (John_16:13),
have also preserved the Church? —
the hearts and minds of His people, and the shepherds of His flock?”

2/24/24 [with insertions for clarification]
Notice that these arguments have nothing
to do with disproving the “Great Apostasy” that is so clear in the Bible and
history.
Nothing that is mentioned here disproves
the Bible’s “Great Apostasy” like these denying Catholics pretend.
For example, those who submit to the
“Great Apostasy” fact do NOT “reject such writings” or any of the implications
mentioned above by this Catholic webpage.
These are encouraging historical
references that clearly reinforce Bible obedience, and confirm yet further that
those who came after these earliest writers did in fact choose a “Great
Apostasy” in the later 200s and the 325 AD council.

Predestination is Emphasized,
Jud_1:1 – kept called
Jud_1:3 – salvation (notice the link…)
Jud_1:4 – written beforehand unto this
judgement
Jud_1:
– to Him who is able to keep you from
falling
Sinning is Predestined
Predestined end times includes their Sin
2Pe_2:1-3 – long ago
2Pe_2:6 – Sodom =example to those about to
be irreverent
This shows God is in total control of the
end times and even all sin is happening just as He chose it to be.

Bad Guys in the Bible Apply to Us
Learn from Bad Guys in the Bible
Remember:
Take ALL of the Bible more seriously!
Remember Lots Wife
These happened as examples so we
would not lust
· Fear and Justify God for taking vengeance
· Not be a bad guy - not be like them
· Save others from being bad guys
· Save ourselves and our hearers (1Ti_4:16 -- quoted below)
· Be humbled enough to be saved from sinning
· Really Love Bad Guys: Clearly and Soberly warn God’s enemies to escape before it’s too late
· Really Love Righteous People: See who righteous people are -- judgement shows salvation
· Know who the right God is
· Actually have saving faith in the salvation God has promised to accomplish by destroying His enemies (the faith in the Bible)
1Ti_4:16 – Save yourself and your hearers

Victims Welcome Warnings Against
Oppressors
Those who really believe in and Love the ultimate salvation God has promised from heaven, totally embrace the contrasting reality of God's enemies, because God’s ultimate wrath against continual sinners is the ultimate salvation God has promised for His favorite people who are being oppressed by them.

One Fragrance -- Different Reactions

2 Thieves (on the Cross) = Different Faiths
Luk_23:39 NKJV Then one of the criminals who were hanged
blasphemed Him, saying, “If You are the Christ, save Yourself and us.”
Luk_23:42 NKJV Then he said to Jesus, “Lord, remember me when
You come into Your kingdom.”
Luk_23:43 NKJV And Jesus said to him, “Assuredly, I say to you,
today you will be with Me in Paradise.”
Saul vs. David
1Sa_18:7 NKJV So the women sang as they danced, and said: “Saul
has slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands.”
1Sa_18:8 NKJV Then Saul was very angry, and the saying
displeased him; and he said, “They have ascribed to David ten thousands, and to
me they have ascribed only thousands.”
David vs. Michal
2Sa_6:14 NKJV Then David danced before the Lord with all his
might; and David was wearing a linen ephod.
2Sa_6:16 NKJV Now as the ark of the Lord came into the City of
David, Michal, Saul’s daughter, looked through a window and saw King David
leaping and whirling before the Lord; and she despised him in her heart.
Lost Sheep / Prodigal Son
Luk_15:7 NKJV I say to you that likewise there will be more joy
in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine just persons who
need no repentance.
Luk_15:28 NKJV But he was angry and would not go in. Therefore
his father came out and pleaded with him.
Luk_15:32 NKJV It was right that we should make merry and be
glad, for your brother was dead and is alive again, and was lost and is found.
Unbelief Flatters & Skips
(A) Discouragement/Unbelief about the Bible’s tragic stories correlates with (& maybe results in) (B) pretending you are the good guy and (C) skipping over, and avoiding personally applying, the warnings of failure throughout the Bible.
Stop: avoiding the Bible, automatically pretending you’re the good guy, failing to ask how Biblical warnings apply to you, and failing to be changed by warnings of Truth.
Skipping = Drawing Back
· Don’t “draw back unto destruction” (Heb_10:39 -- seen below) when the Bible tells us sobering Truth.
· Hebrews constantly tells us to ‘run into the fire’ (Heb_6, 10, 12, etc.) with clean faith in Truth enough to be saved
· “Drawing back” shows you’re Discouraged by “Bad Guy Stories” in the Bible & you’ve got apprehensions about the threats of Truth -- which lacks reverent saving faith.
The Point: Discouragement about the Bad Guy Stories in the Bible: Flatters, Skips, re-interprets, explains away, & avoids personal application, and fails to heed warnings & change, and establishes lazy thinkers into bad guys in the end.
Fully Embrace the warning of those who fail in the Bible, by clean faith that justifies God, so you won’t be like them in the end.
Our first Case-study of Learning from Bad Guys
· Stop Thanking??? -- What are we supposed to stop thanking God for??
· Can we remember a summary of the Tax Collector & Pharisee?
Remarkably, You Must Stop thanking God for something…!
(Boasting that you're the good guy / saved)
Let’s consider the Tax Collector & Pharisee…
Luk_18:9 – Parable to self-righteous, despising* others. (* making out as nothing)
Luk_18:10 – Pharisee & tax collector pray in temple.
Luk_18:11 – Pharisee stands apart, thanks God he’s not like sinners.
Luk_18:12 – Fasts twice weekly, tithes everything.
Luk_18:13 – Tax collector afar off, won’t lift eyes, beats chest, pleads for appeasement-payment (satisfaction / Propitiation / atonement)
Luk_18:14 – Tax collector justified; self-exalted* humbled, humble** exalted. (* lifted up ** pushed-down)
Luk_18:9 CAB Also He spoke this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised [ἐξουθενοῦντας] the others:
Luk_18:9 Εἶπε δὲ
καὶ πρός
τινας τοὺς
πεποιθότας ἐφ᾿
ἑαυτοῖς ὅτι
εἰσὶ
δίκαιοι, καὶ
ἐξουθενοῦντας
τοὺς
λοιποὺς, τὴν
παραβολὴν
ταύτην·
Luk_18:9 ειπεν δε TSAκαι
προς τινας
τους
πεποιθοτας εφ
εαυτοις οτι
εισιν δικαιοι
και
εξουθενουντας
τους λοιπους
την παραβολην
ταυτην
Luk_18:10 Two men went up to the temple to pray, the one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
Luk_18:10 ἄνθρωποι
δύο ἀνέβησαν
εἰς τὸ ἱερὸν
προσεύξασθαι,
ὁ εἷς Φαρισαῖος
καὶ ὁ ἕτερος
τελώνης.
Luk_18:11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, 'God, I thank You that I am not like other men--swindlers, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.
Luk_18:11 ὁ
Φαρισαῖος
σταθεὶς πρὸς
ἑαυτὸν ταῦτα
προσηύχετο· ὁ
Θεός, εὐχαριστῶ
σοι ὅτι οὐκ εἰμὶ
ὥσπερ οἱ
λοιποὶ τῶν ἀνθρώπων,
ἅρπαγες, ἄδικοι,
μοιχοί, ἢ καὶ
ὡς οὗτος ὁ
τελώνης·
Luk_18:12 I fast twice a week, I tithe on all things, as many as I acquire.'
Luk_18:12
νηστεύω
δὶς τοῦ
σαββάτου, ἀποδεκατῶ
πάντα ὅσα κτῶμαι.
Luk_18:13 And the tax collector, standing far away, would not so much as lift his eyes towards heaven, but beat on his chest, saying, 'God, be merciful to me a sinner!'
Luk_18:13 καὶ ὁ
τελώνης
μακρόθεν ἑστὼς
οὐκ ἤθελεν οὐδὲ
τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς
εἰς τὸν οὐρανόν

Luk_18:14 I say to you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself shall be humbled, and he who humbles himself shall be exalted."

See: Stop Flattery!
Obey Luk_18:9
"Upon myself, I see and know that I am not being righteous"
This is hard to translate. Some think the Pharisee is praying about himself, and others have it that he is praying with himself -- either way the Pharisee is having an egocentric prayer
Who Do You Identify With in this parable?
· You = Tax Collector?: Have you ever read or heard this parable and identified with the tax collector?
· Not Pharisaical?: Have you thanked God that you're not like the Pharisee? - that's missing the whole point!
· Flesh Claims Goodness: Notice how habitually are flesh keeps telling us we're the good guys...
· Truth = Eye Opener: Let monotheism open your eyes to see just how evil your flesh really is!
Church hypocrisy is full of imagination and fantasy, and therefore invalidly identifies itself with the repenting tax collector, saying things like...
· Well I do bad stuff too, so if I simply admit it, then I'm just like him too!
· We're all sinners saved by grace - so we just got to confess, acknowledge, and embrace it.
Escape
Fantasy Narratives !
· The misidentification of our sinning flesh with the repenting tax collector is sick and dangerous storytelling that feeds our own egocentric hypocrisy.
· Remember: we need to escape from this rhetoric propaganda!
· We need to escape from these illusionary fantasy narratives our treacherous hearts keep telling us.
See: Stop Flattery!
Church people justify themselves as repentant sinners based on the fact that they see sin in their lives, and they so characteristically forget that Jesus repeatedly said 'go and sin no more' to those who might successfully repent.
But What’s Missing in Churchianity ’s Boast???
Luk_18:13 And the tax collector…beat on his chest
Luk_18:14 …this man went down to his house justified...he who humbles himself shall be exalted."
Luk_18:14 λέγω ὑμῖν,
κατέβη οὗτος
δεδικαιωμένος
εἰς τὸν οἶκον
αὐτοῦ παρ᾿ ἐκεῖνος·
ὅτι πᾶς ὁ ὑψῶν
ἑαυτὸν
ταπεινωθήσεται,
ὁ δὲ ταπεινῶν
ἑαυτὸν ὑψωθήσεται.
Luk_18:14 λεγω υμιν κατεβη ουτος δεδικαιωμενος εις τον οικον αυτου Aπαρ Aεκεινον TSBη Bγαρ TSBεκεινος οτι πας ο υψων εαυτον ταπεινωθησεται ο δε ταπεινων εαυτον υψωθησεται
Church remembers: 'God, be merciful to me a sinner!' -- and forgets the rest!
Healed Man -- to Stop Sinning
Joh_5:14 CAB After these things Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, "See, you have become well. Sin no more [μηκέτι ἁμάρτανε], lest something worse may happen to you [ἵνα μὴ χεῖρόν σοί τι γένηται]."
Joh_5:14
μετὰ ταῦτα
εὑρίσκει αὐτὸν
ὁ ᾿Ιησοῦς ἐν
τῷ ἱερῷ
καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ·
ἴδε ὑγιὴς
γέγονας·
μηκέτι ἁμάρτανε,
ἵνα μὴ χεῖρόν
σοί τι
γένηται.
Joh_5:14 μετα ταυτα ευρισκει αυτον ο ιησους εν τω ιερω και ειπεν αυτω ιδε υγιης γεγονας μηκετι αμαρτανε ινα μη χειρον TSBτι σοι Aτι γενηται
TSK: sin: Joh_8:11, Ezr_9:13, Ezr_9:14, Neh_9:28, 1Pe_4:3
Church forgets: “Sin no more [μηκέτι ἁμάρτανε (Joh_5:14 ≈ Joh_8:11)], lest something worse may happen to you”
Woman in Adultery -- to Stop Sinning
Joh_8:10 CAB And

Stop Blasphemous Lies: misidentifying with
the tax collector, while also sinning, is unbelieving
flattery against the Anointed One.
(Foreshadowing-Preview: why are we
calling this sin “unbelieving flattery”? Because that’s precisely how it’s
condemned in Joh_5:44 - quoted below…)
· Repent of Inconsistency: remembering the fragment of ‘be merciful to me a sinner!’ while forgetting the tax collector’s low-eyed, chest-beating humility, brokenness, and resulting righteous-ification is hypocrisy.
· Right Attitude: How are we supposed to interact with the Tax Collector & Pharisee parable?
· Right Conclusion:?: What are we supposed to walk away with and how should we take action when praying through this teaching?
Here’s a BIG part of the answer…
Remember Morality
· Always ask “what’s the moral-ity of the story?”
· Are you naïvely glad that you're not like the Pharisee (there’s no moral to that fantasy-story!), or are you soberly urgent to learn to escape from his hypocrisy (zealous toward righteous-morality)?
· Do you walk away from this parable quickly identifying with the tax collector (there’s no moral to that naïve-rhetoric-propaganda-narrative!), or are you longing & yearning to be more like his broken, humbled, repentant justification (moralizing righteous-ification) that he returned to his house with?
-- Under Construction --
You’re NOT Logical
· Disturbing: We need to look at something nasty…
· Secret: We need to hate the poison that subconsciously contaminates our modern age
· Real Conspiracy: It’s a Systematized Boasting
· Church Is Apostate Much like modern Jews
· We know Jews have apostated by not believing the NT, and they have fueled their rebellion with self-justifying flatteries to make themselves look good when doing bad.
· Church rebellion also boasts and flatters itself as well with Catholic and Protestant apostasies…
· See: Overview of Church Scandals
· Jews & Church People: It is vitally important to consider the example of apostate Jews because their failure and rebellion is radically tied up in churchianities apostasy in the end times as potently seen in Revelation.
· Justified Sin: This is directly seen in Catholic apostasy to liturgize sinners into heaven, and Protestants are even more bold and liberal to boast in justified sinfulness.
· Reformed Pride: Protestants are shameless and proudly boast in their sinfulness while rejoicing and bragging and benefits from the Bible that have nothing to do with them.
· Sin & Heaven: Protestantism is fundamentally a wholesale betrayal of monotheism by saying you can be sinning AND be justified at the same time - it has nothing to do with Moses and his promise of the New Covenant through Jesus, as also so powerfully proclaimed through Paul in Romans 10 (and similar passages)
· Hub of Heresy: If you've been raised in a non-catholic context, this is your heretical heritage, and if you've been immersed in a Baptist and or reformed theology context (official Protestantism), you've been in the hub of heresy where it is preached and squawked all the more loudly than just about any other context.
· Justified Sin Boasting: Protestant’s Justified Sin = Boasting in Benefits, without Proof & even CONTRARY to Proof!
Warning: we are not immune; we have been affected/infected by this; we need to get it totally out of our hearts!
PPX:
Latin
phrase "simul justus et peccator." In English, this means "at
the same time just (or righteous) and sinner." This phrase was famously
used by Martin Luther and is foundational in Protestant (especially Lutheran
and Reformed) theology, expressing the doctrine that believers are declared
righteous before God on account of Christ, even though they remain sinners in
themselves. In the original Latin: "simul justus et peccator,"
meaning "simultaneously righteous and sinner" .
Explanation
and Usage
"Simul"
= at the same time, simultaneously.
"Justus"
= just, righteous.
"Et"
= and.
"Peccator"
= sinner.
So, in
full: "simul justus et peccator"—“simultaneously just and sinner.”
This encapsulates the Protestant teaching that Christians, through faith in
Christ, are justified and counted as righteous by God's imputation, even though
they still wrestle with sin in their lives
>> Needs verifying
Luther said,
"I am at the same time a sinner and a righteous man for I do evil and hate the evil which I do,"

Protestant writer named “stpaulsimul” said:
“We are always sinners and yet always saints.”
Source: same as above
Luther wrote, “Whatever sins I, you, and all of us have committed or may commit in the future, they are as much Christ’s own as if He Himself had committed them” (Galatians Lectures, 1535).
Protestant Quotes Luther: 1517.org
“Simultaneously Righteous
and Sinner: An Introduction
06/08/18
Without the
“simul” distinction, theology lapses into moralism.
“Nothing sums up
the identity of a Christian better than the phrase: "Simul Iustus et
Peccator." The Christian is, at the same time, wholly (totus) a sinner, who deserves God’s
temporal and eternal punishment, and wholly (totus)
righteous* before God on account of Jesus' Good Friday.””
This apostate goes on to quote Rom_7:15-20 as if Paul was describing his present condition (classic refusal to read the text and the context).
“Yet, at the same
time, “...there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For
the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of
sin and of death” (Rom_8:1-2).
St. Paul doesn't
say “I was” in the past tense, but “I practice the very evil that I do not
want,” in the present. I'm an active sinner in fact, not in theory. The apostle
confesses that in his flesh he's a slave to the law of sin and death, yet at
the same time, in the present tense, through the Spirit he's a slave to Christ
Jesus.”
…
“Later, Martin
Luther repeated St. Paul’s teaching. Luther put it this way: “The saints in being righteous are at the same time
sinners; they are righteous because they believe in Christ whose righteousness
covers them and is imputed to them, but they are sinners because they do not
fulfill the law and are not without sinful desires. They are like sick people
in the care of a physician: they are really sick, but healthy only in the hope
and insofar as they begin to be better, healed, i.e., they will become healthy.
Nothing can harm them so much as the presumption that they are in fact healthy,
for it will cause a bad relapse.”(Luther, Romans Commentary).””
…
““In
short, our righteousness is called (in plain language) the forgiveness of our
sins. Or, as it says here: sins not counted, sins covered, sins not to be seen.
Here stand the clear plain words: All the saints are sinners and remain
sinners. But they are holy because God in His grace neither sees nor counts
these sins, but forgets, forgives, and covers them. There is thus no
distinction between the saints and the non-saints. They are sinners alike and
all sin daily, only that the sins of the holy are not counted but covered; and
the sins of the unholy are not covered but counted. One would have a healing
dressing on and is bandaged; the other wound is open and undressed.
Nevertheless, both of them are truly wounded, truly sinners, concerning which
we in our books in other places have abundantly bore witness. - Martin Luther,
Introduction to Psalm 32.”

Protestant Heresy Empowers Sin-Pride…
After
we are renewed, yet we are renewed but in part, indwelling sin
continues in us, there is a mixture of corruption in every one of our duties; so that after we are converted,
were Jesus Christ only to accept us according to our works, our works would damn us, for we
cannot put up a prayer but it is far from
that perfection which the moral law requireth. I do not know
what you may think, but I can say that I
cannot pray but I sin — I
cannot preach to you or any others but
I sin — I can do nothing without
sin; and, as one expresseth it, my
repentance wants to be repented of, and my tears to be washed in the precious blood of my dear Redeemer.
Our best duties are as so many splendid sins. Before you can speak peace
in your heart, you must not only be made sick of your original and actual sin,
but you must be made sick of your
righteousness, of all your duties and performances. There must
be a deep conviction before you can be brought out of your self-righteousness;
it is the last idol taken out of our heart. The pride of our heart will not let
us submit to the righteousness of Jesus Christ. But if you never felt that you
had no righteousness of your own, if you
never felt the deficiency of your own righteousness, you cannot come to Jesus
Christ.

Typical Pervert Irrational Reactions Against
Anything True
“There are some
troubling things in here, because Paul says everyone is shut up in sin and are
not able to be saved through their works because their works are filthy rags.
It's Christ's perfect works applied to us that makes us justified. We receive
this by faith, a faith by which we are counted as being in Christ (you don't
touch on the doctrine of our union with Him) and His good works savingly given
to us through union with Him. The whole point of Romans 2-3 is that we could
never be saved by the criteria of good works, even in a preservationist sense.
I'm not seeing you're making this connection. The progressive nature of Romans'
argument is that we are literally hopeless apart from Christ's works. He's
arguing that we're guilty if we are standing on our own works. We must obey
Christ because He is king, but the threat of His judgment is to drive us to cry
out, "Lord, have mercy!" Not to make us think we can withstand His
judgment through our feeble obedience.”

Enslaved To Sin Before
Salvation
Rom_6:20-21; Joh_8:34
Rom_6:20 CAB For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness.
Rom_6:20
ὅτε γὰρ δοῦλοι
ἦτε τῆς ἁμαρτίας,
ἐλεύθεροι ἦτε
τῇ δικαιοσύνῃ.
Rom_6:20 οτε γαρ δουλοι ητε της αμαρτιας ελευθεροι ητε τη δικαιοσυνη
Rom_6:21 So what fruit did you have then of which things you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death.
Rom_6:21
τίνα οὖν
καρπὸν εἴχετε
τότε ἐφ᾿ οἷς
νῦν ἐπαισχύνεσθε;
τὸ γὰρ
τέλος ἐκείνων
θάνατος.
Joh_8:34
NKJV …whoever commits sin is a slave of sin.
We need to get on a campaign to defeat pride!
When you're willing to believe that you're right even when sinning...
If you're sinning and you feel like you're right, you are more wrong than you are right, and therefore there is nothing to boast about!
You are persuaded by the flesh -- unlike Philippians and the rest of the Bible (Php_3:3; 2Co_5:16; Gal_3:3)
Insensitive Pride = boasting flattery of the flesh
See: SPI > No Flesh
All of this ignores ATONEMENT! -- the need to have a mediator truly deal with your sins…
ATONEMENT/monotheism/repentance/restitution -- participation in revealed mediation to fix sin
(A) In the Death of Nadab and Abihu…
Lev_10:10 WEB and that you are to make a distinction between the holy and the common, and between the unclean and the clean;
Lev_10:10 to distinguish between sacred and profane, and between clean and unclean,
Lev_10:10 διαστεῖλαι
ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν ἁγίων
καὶ τῶν βεβήλων
καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν
ἀκαθάρτων καὶ
τῶν καθαρῶν.
(B) Leprosy
Lev_13:59 NKJV This is the law of the plague of leprosy in a garment… to pronounce it clean or unclean.
Lev_14:57 NKJV To teach when it is unclean and when it is clean. This is the law of leprosy.
(C) Uncleanness
Lev_15:31 WEB " 'Thus you shall separate the children of Israel from their uncleanness, so they will not die in their uncleanness, when they defile my tabernacle that is in their midst.' "
Lev_15:31 LB ‘And you shall cause the children of Israel to beware of their uncleanness, so they shall not die for their uncleanness, in polluting My tabernacle that is among them.
Lev_15:31 Καὶ εὐλαβεῖς
ποιήσετε τοὺς
υἱοὺς Ισραηλ ἀπὸ
τῶν ἀκαθαρσιῶν
αὐτῶν, καὶ οὐκ ἀποθανοῦνται
διὰ τὴν ἀκαθαρσίαν
αὐτῶν ἐν τῷ μιαίνειν
αὐτοὺς τὴν
σκηνήν μου τὴν ἐν
αὐτοῖς. --
Lev_15:31 NKJV Thus you shall separate the children of Israel from their uncleanness, lest they die in their uncleanness…
Parable’s Revelation: their uncleanness = death for defiling/polluting God’s (Physically Holy) tabernacle
Revelation = Atonement-Awareness
Monotheistic mediation includes prescribed atonement-solution to take care of the ugly evil uncleanness of humanity
i.e.
Revelation → Atonement (Prescribed Solution: Look Back & Take Care of Sin)
New Covenant: Atonement = (A) Look Back & (B) Take Care of & (C) STOP all Sinning (Rom_6; Heb 8 – 10; etc.)
Eze_16:2 WEB Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations;
Eze_16:2 LB “Son of man, testify to Jerusalem of her iniquities;

Eze_22:2 WEB You, son of man, will you judge, will you judge the bloody city? then cause her to know all her abominations.

Eze_23:36 WEB Yahweh said moreover to me: Son of man, will you judge Oholah and Oholibah? then declare to them their abominations.
Eze_23:36 LB And the Lord said to me, “Son of man, will you not judge Oholah and Oholibah, and declare [ἀπαγγελεῖς] to them their iniquities [ἀνομίας]?
Eze_23:36 καὶ εἶπεν

Eze_23:37 WEB For they have committed adultery, and blood
is in their hands; and with their idols have they committed adultery;
and they have also caused their sons, whom they bore to me, to pass through
the fire to
them to be devoured.
Eze_23:37 For they have committed adultery, and blood was on their hands, they committed adultery with their devices, and they passed through the fire to them their children which they bore to Me.
Eze_23:37 ὅτι ἐμοιχῶντο,
καὶ αἷμα ἐν
χερσὶν αὐτῶν·
τὰ ἐνθυμήματα
αὐτῶν ἐμοιχῶντο
καὶ τὰ τέκνα αὐτῶν,
ἃ ἐγέννησάν
μοι, διήγαγον αὐτοῖς
δι᾿ ἐμπύρων.
Eze_23:38 WEB Moreover this they have done to me: they have defiled my sanctuary in the same day, and have profaned my Sabbaths.
Eze_23:38 So long too as they did these things to Me, they defiled My sanctuary, and profaned My Sabbaths.
Eze_23:38 ἕως καὶ
ταῦτα ἐποίησάν
μοι· τὰ ἅγιά
μου ἐμίαινον
καὶ τὰ σάββατά
μου ἐβεβήλουν.
Eze_23:39 WEB For when they had slain their children to their idols, then they came the same day into my sanctuary to profane it; and behold, thus have they done in the midst of my house.
Eze_23:39 And when they sacrificed [σφάζειν] their children to their idols, they also went into My [holy-]sanctuary to profane it [εἰσεπορεύοντο εἰς τὰ ἅγιά μου τοῦ βεβηλοῦν αὐτά]; and whereas they did thus in the midst of My house,
Eze_23:39 καὶ ἐν τῷ
σφάζειν αὐτοὺς
τὰ τέκνα αὐτῶν
τοῖς εἰδώλοις
αὐτῶν καὶ εἰσεπορεύοντο
εἰς τὰ ἅγιά μου
τοῦ βεβηλοῦν αὐτά·
καὶ ὅτι οὕτως ἐποίουν
ἐν μέσῳ τοῦ οἴκου
μου.
If your sinning and you think you’re right = that is self-flattery = boasting against the Truth/Science/Facts/Reality!
Wisdom from Above
Jas_3:12 CAB It is not possible, my brothers, for a fig tree to make olives, or a vine to make figs, is it? Thus no spring is able to produce both salt and sweet water.
Jas_3:12 μὴ

Jas_3:13 Is there anyone wise and understanding among you? Let him show by his good conduct that his works are in meekness of wisdom.
Jas_3:13 Τίς
σοφὸς καὶ ἐπιστήμων

δειξάτω ἐκ
τῆς καλῆς ἀναστροφῆς

Jas_3:14 But if you have bitter jealousy and strife in your heart, do not boast and lie against the truth.
Jas_3:14 εἰ δὲ

ἔχετε καὶ ἐρίθειαν
ἐν τῇ
καρδίᾳ ὑμῶν,
μὴ κατακαυχᾶσθε
καὶ ψεύδεσθε
κατὰ τῆς ἀληθείας.
Jas_3:15 This wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic.
Jas_3:15 οὐκ ἔστιν
αὕτη ἡ σοφία ἄνωθεν
κατερχομένη,
ἀλλ᾿ ἐπίγειος,

δαιμονιώδης.
Jas_3:15 ουκ εστιν αυτη η σοφια ανωθεν κατερχομενη Aαλλα TSBαλλ επιγειος ψυχικη δαιμονιωδης
Jas_3:16 For where jealousy and strife exist, there unrest and every evil deed are.
Jas_3:16 ὅπου
γὰρ ζῆλος
καὶ ἐριθεία,
ἐκεῖ ἀκαταστασία
καὶ πᾶν φαῦλον
πρᾶγμα.
Jas_3:17 But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy.
Jas_3:17 ἡ δὲ ἄνωθεν
σοφία πρῶτον

Uninspired Zeal
· Apostate flesh wants to believe that it is right (has a point to make) even though it has sin
· James says it’s NOT inspired -- it's "not from above"
· And there's nothing to boast about
This comes from classic Protestant apostasy…
“AND”-Boasts
Apostate Jews and church people both want to claim benefits without proof/sacrifice/cost.
Simultaneous AND, instead of exclusive decision of OR
George Whitefield preached a sinful gospel, even according to his own words!
Revelation → Atonement
Flattery → [x] Atonement (skipped)
Notice how he’s conflating/mixing duties with our own righteousness, and plainly declaring himself totally lost.
He wants to preach AND be sinful -- so stop preaching!
They want to claim that they are right and good while inconsistently retaining sin. They want to simultaneously have a point to make even though active current sin is observable in their life. - this is the theoretical justified sin of apostate Protestantism in vivid hypocritical practice.
Justified sinfulness is a characteristic of today's Protestant apostasy
Therefore...
When you feel like you're argument is justified even though you're sinful that agrees with the heritage of apostasy
The forgiveness of sins comes freely, but the prerogative to celebrate and re broadcast victory depends on confirmation that it has been successful.
AND instead of OR = Bible disobedience!
Very simple logical root issue:
Claiming BOTH sin AND heaven, is Saying AND when the Bible specifically says OR:
Bible: Justified OR Sinful!
(1 Corinthians 6; 1 Corinthians 10; Romans 3, 6 - 8, esp. Rom_6:16; Rom_6:23)
Church: Justified AND Sinful!
GOM Excitement
There is something so much more exciting the Good Message than sinning!
OR of Rom_6
Rom_6:16 Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves as obedient slaves, you are slaves to whom you obey, whether of sin resulting in[to] [εἰς] death, or [ἢ] of obedience [ὑπακοῆς] resulting in [εἰς] righteousness?
Rom_6:16 οὐκ οἴδατε
ὅτι ᾧ

Rom_6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but [δὲ – however] the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Rom_6:23 τὰ γὰρ
ὀψώνια τῆς

Parallels in Rom_6
· Rom_6:16 – …sin resulting in death, or [ἢ] of obedience [ὑπακοῆς]…
· Rom_6:23 …the wages of sin is death, but [δὲ – however] the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
(A) Rom_6: Simple
Righteousness → ·Holiness → Heaven |OR [ἢ/δὲ]| Sin → Death
(B) Rom_6: More Detailed
Logical (Rom_6:11) Crucifixion (Rom_6:1-14) = Obedient-Listening (Rom_6:16-23) → ·Righteousness → ·Holiness (Rom_6:19) → Heaven (Rom_6:22)
OR [ἢ/δὲ]
Sin → Death (seen below)
Sin: Rom_6:1-2,
Rom_6:6-7, Rom_6:10-23
Death: Rom_6:16, Rom_6:21, Rom_6:23
So…
OR → CHOOSE
· The New Covenant says choose! -- Blessing & Curses: through the mouth of Moses in Deuteronomy 30 sets life and death, blessings and curse in front of God's people!
· Joshua 24 - Joshua says choose! (in the same way)

Jos_24:19 WEB Joshua said to the people, "You can't serve Yahweh; for he is a holy God. He is a jealous God. He will not forgive your disobedience nor your sins.
Jos_24:19 LB And Joshua said to the people, “Indeed you will not be able to serve the Lord, for God is holy; and He being jealous will not forgive your sins and your transgressions.

Hasty Self-Commendation -- Must be
Stopped!
Flattery of the flesh Avoids applying the bad guys warnings to us.
Flattery stops you from applying the warnings of the bad guy stories to yourself and the rest of those who need the warnings the most
Comp. Trivializing Sin
See: Reverent Gospel
· What’s wrong/dangerous/damaging/risky with (the harm in) flattery?
· What’s so bad about flattering?
· What are you damaging &
· What are you sacrificing/losing?
· How can we Identify it?
· Church flattery? -- does flattery happen in church?
· Hypocritical flattery is more subtle.
· Flattering others might be “insincere” and not forthright with your own feelings or awareness.
· Self-flattery is quite typically far more deceptive.
· Flattering yourself often includes assuming you're the good guy in a Bible story, which can happen habitually and subconsciously - and it leads to hypocritical failures.
· Flattering yourself often includes justifying your own point of view in an argument without scientific proof, and establishment of real, objective, moral, love-first, knowledge like the Bible requires.
Flattery Denial
Denial Instead of Repentance: When being confronted with inconsistency, the rebellious flash reduces discomfort by denying desolation instead of repenting of sin
Pet Flattery
· Sanctified Protected Flattery: Watch out for the flattery our flesh LIKES, not what it doesn’t like!
· Hypocritical Bias: It's easy to say, “I don't like the flattery” to that which doesn't apply to you - there's no morality or commendable virtue to that hypocritical bias! (that dishonesty is called, Indirect Inconsistency, and Cognitive Dissonance)
· Real Risk: Danger ≠ What we already know about, nut what we are not already guarding against
· Repent of “Adult Learning”: Self-directed learning based on what you already know is unteachable hardhearted self-willed perversion
· Assuming Salvation = Epidemical Church-sanctified Hypocritical Flattery & Self-Flattery
· Imagining Yourself as the good guy = The “Pet Flattery” Our Flesh Urgently needs to repent of -- that is NOT the way to read the warnings in the Bible!
·
Argumentative Self-Flattering: Self-flattery
happens when you imagine that you're right in an argument, and yet you still
have sin against your opponent, which you should not be fighting in the first
place, usually
Flattery is...
·
Fake Love: Pretending like your flesh is
loving & prioritizing love.
(Flesh can do natural affection, and feelings love, but flesh doesn't do real
substantial love)
· Benefits without Cost: (the universal scandal of churchianity!)
· Good without Obedience: Pretending like you're the good guy in the Bible before verifying that you're obeying all the Bible.
· Conscience without Standards: Pretending that your flesh has a good conscience, when you haven't sufficiently raised your standards enough for it to work.
· Conscience Integrity Failure: An inconsistent integrity breach that weekends morality and undermines a functioning conscience - since logically consistent moral standards are necessary for moral perception between right and wrong.
· Brainless Moral Insanity: People become outrageously evil when they don't use their logical human brain to demand consistent moral standards and hefty binding obligations upon their own souls. (reminder: this is NOT about being smart!)
· Narratives Against Truth: A breach of consistency between (A) your inner narrative with its social rhetoric and (B) the external, objectively observable scientific facts of your legitimate value proposition in the universe.
Flattery narratives make you selfish and loveless.
Flattery is Loveless
· Relationships Clash with Narratives: People consciously and subconsciously commend themselves with a certain assumed value to the people outside of their life and when there's a clash, then conflict is eventually inevitable when seeking to persevere in relationships.
· Manipulation is Incompatible: Flattery sets you up for failure because it is not right or logical for others to bend over reality to accommodate your false reality, and eventually you're greediness for invalid affirmations of value, that you don't legitimately have, will be detested, sabotaged, and opposed by others who are less tolerant of your particular selfish delusions than your flesh is.
· Lovelessness = Bad Value: inconsistent value assessments form the foundation of all human conflict and lovelessness.
· Pride = Death of Unity: When your value proposition is misaligned, inconsistent, inaccurate, and de-educated by flattery, this results in pride and sinful protests/objections when people don't love you on your own distorted, perverted, polluted, standards, ideals, and terms.
Victory Requires Defeating Flattery
Therefore being set free from arguments and achieving perfect unity through the Truthfulness of real Love are impossible with flattery (which is false).
So…
do you want the glories of New Covenant unity and the excitement of real Love?
Then make sure that…
If you want the benefits, don't be inconsistent when it comes to paying the price... (Luk_14:25-35)
· Flattery sabotages, disqualifies, & "pulls the rug out from under" the remnant faith of the Bible, which calls on Jesus for salvation.
· Flattery is under a Biblical curse -- that goes all the way to the New Covenant.
· Those who flatter are also the same group of people who boast.
· Prematurely congratulating others is the same group category of sinning that is prideful about oneself.
· If you flatter those continuing to sin, you will not recognize the repenting tax collector who actually STOPS sinning, and you will end up being the egocentric self-flattering Pharisee, who never went down to his house righteous-ified and saved in the end.
· Flattering what humans exalt is a stinky abomination to God.
· Likewise...
· The one who is Justifying the wicked is making himself a stinky abomination before the Lord.
· Flattery goes hand in hand with boasting, which leads straight to Antichrist.
· Imagine that: denying the apostasy predicted by the Bible leads you straight into Antichrist as the chief leader of apostasy.
· Flattery is prematurely congratulating yourself as the good guy in the Bible before passing the test and proving that you're not the bad guy.
· Flattery congratulates yourself so quickly that you never stop to soberly process the warnings in the Bible against those who fail.
· We need to stop pretending good, and start acknowledging bad, so that we can cry out for salvation from the reality of this problem.
· We need to stop pretending good with flattery and start considering bad so that our faith can realize how desperate of a situation we are and cry out to the real God by faith.
· We need to stop flattering others and ourselves, so that we can consider the bad guys, including the evil of our own flesh, so that we will cry out for salvation, including Jesus's name, just like David prophetically did by faith (Psa.
This is why it's so absolutely vitally important to deny yourself, and not seek to save your own soul by knowing that you know that you're saved, and to instead patiently wait and self-affliction and self-abase humility until God exalts you with proof of approval and exaltation and glorifies you with the praise of His acceptance and approval

Respect of Persons To Gain Advantage
= Flattering Others
Jud_1:16 These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaks puffed up words, flattering people to gain advantage.
Jud_1:16 Οὗτοί

KJV is Quite Strange
Jud_1:16 KJV These are murmurers,
complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great
swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of
advantage.
Partiality in Judgement
Pro_24:23 WEB These also are sayings of the wise. To show partiality in judgment is not good.
Pro_24:23 LB And this thing I say to you that are wise, for you to learn: It is not good [οὐ καλόν] to show partiality in judgment [αἰδεῖσθαι πρόσωπον ἐν κρίσει].

σοφοῖς ἐπιγινώσκειν·

See: ISR > Abraham’s Seed
We see that apostate Jews boasted and flattered themselves with underserved advantages, and congratulated themselves with privileges without paying any price, sacrifice, or cost.
While they flattered themselves as being invincibly saved, they became wretchedly lost.
This self-flattering boasting made them lying false Jews of the synagogues of Satan (Rev_2:9; Rev_3:9) which collaboratively brings dirty religion into the End Times apostasy rebellion (Rev_3:10).
Justifying Wicked = Abomination --
Flattery Stinks!

Isa 5:20 WEB Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
Isa 5:20 LB Woe to them that call evil good, and good evil; who make darkness light, and light darkness; who make bitter sweet, and sweet bitter.

Denying Justice

It is stinky to justify sin, just as it is to condemn the clean.
Justifying the wicked is a stinky abomination before the Lord
So…
2/1/26
Stop flattening Truth!
Stop perverted generalizing and unwinding
the Holiness which God has sacrificed his holy ones to accomplish!
Equalizing = not know God, Who is Holy
It is NOT Justice!
Equality is not Justice
(That's perverted and liberal)
Equality is making holy things dirtier
than mud
It's blaspheming the sacred righteous
ordinance of the Bible
If the cleanness of the Bible says
something in particular, you're not allowed to irreverently flatten and deflate
it's preciousness - that makes you a mocker, blasphemer, heckler
· Predators don’t need sympathy & encouragement, they desperately need sin-confrontation and rebuke.
· We don’t need more confidence, but more conviction, repentance, and God-fear.

Psa_12:1 WEB Help [“הושׁיעה” ≈ salvation; i.e. you-save!], Yahweh [+ “יהוה” = Jesus -- i.e. Lord-salvation]; for the godly man [kind/merciful] ceases. For the faithful fail from among the children of men.
Psa_12:1 LB A Psalm of David. Save me [Σῶσόν με], O Lord [κύριε]; for the godly man [ὅσιος – i.e. sacred] has failed; for truth is diminished from among the children of men.

Psa_12:2 WEB Everyone lies [i.e. useless/vanity KJV] to his neighbor. They speak with flattering [Strong: smoothness] lips, and with a double heart [“ולב בלב” -- lit. in-hart, &-hart; i.e. duplicated-duplicity; “With a heart and a heart.” Clark; comp. 1Ch_12:33 - quoted below].
Psa_12:2 Everyone has spoken vanity [μάταια] to his neighbor: their lips are deceitful [δόλια], they have spoken with a double heart [ἐν καρδίᾳ καὶ ἐν καρδίᾳ].

Remnant vs.
Flattery
· Psa_12:1 = Remnant Minded Salvation!
· Flattery = Apostasy Denial -- NOT remnant-minded salvation!
· Flattery = Saying there are millions or even billions of Christians today
· Flattery = Saying you’re already saved from the apostasy of your age -- before God has prophetically announced your graduation from probation
· Flattery ≠ David’s faith in calling out to Jesus for salvation, because it even denies the very reason David begged for help

The Point: Double-Heart = Inconsistency
· Why is Inconsistency such a Problem? -- it’s not logical, but how does that damage?
· Heart Issue = Inconsistency Breach
· 2 Things going on at the same time
· Is this just limited to in-sincerity?
Inconsistency = Hypocrisy
Mat_23:3 CAB Therefore whatever they may say to you to observe, observe and do, but do not do according to their works; for they say, and do not do.
Mat_23:3

The Point: Hypocrisy = Inconsistency (Mat_23:3) = Double-Heart -- Including flattery (Psa_12:2)
Act_2:30 – David Being A Prophet
Act_2:30 NKJV Therefore, [David] being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that of the fruit of his body, according to the flesh, He would raise up the Christ to sit on his throne.
David is prophesying Jesus name when calling on the Lord (YHWH) for salvation -- which makes the name Jesus, as in Mat_1:21.
---------------
Salvation Side Note…
David is Calling on Jesus to Save Him -- Quite Literally!
Mat_8:25 Then the disciples came and awoke Him, saying, "Lord, save us! [Κύριε, σῶσον ἡμᾶς] We are perishing!"
Mat_8:25 καὶ
προσελθόντες
οἱ μαθηταὶ
αὐτοῦ ἤγειραν
αὐτὸν
λέγοντες·
Κύριε, σῶσον
ἡμᾶς, ἀπολλύμεθα.
Mat_8:25 και προσελθοντες TSBοι TSBμαθηται TSαυτου ηγειραν αυτον λεγοντες κυριε σωσον TSBημας απολλυμεθα
Mat_14:30 CAB
But seeing the strong wind, he was afraid, and beginning to sink he
cried out, saying, "Lord, save me!" [Κύριε, σῶσόν
με]
Mat_14:30 βλέπων
δὲ τὸν ἄνεμον
ἰσχυρὸν ἐφοβήθη,
καὶ ἀρξάμενος
καταποντίζεσθαι
ἔκραξε λέγων·
Κύριε, σῶσόν
με.
Mat_14:30
βλεπων δε τον
ανεμον Aισχυρον TSBισχυρον
εφοβηθη και
αρξαμενος
καταποντιζεσθαι
εκραξεν λεγων
κυριε σωσον με
Mat_14:31 And immediately, Jesus reaching out
His hand, laid hold of him, and said to him, "O you of little faith, why
did you doubt?"
Mat_14:31 εὐθέως
δὲ ὁ ᾿Ιησοῦς
ἐκτείνας
τὴν χεῖρα ἐπελάβετο
αὐτοῦ καὶ
λέγει αὐτῷ·
ὀλιγόπιστε.
εἰς τί ἐδίστασας;
Greek of Mat_8:25 & Mat_14:30 [Κύριε, σῶσον ἡμᾶς / Κύριε, σῶσόν με] ≈ Greek of Psa_12:1 [Σῶσόν με, κύριε]
The Point: not only is the Hebrew predicting faith into Jesus, but also even the Greek matches the Gospel cries for Jesus’ salvation
The Hebrew & Greek of Psa_12:1 points to Jesus.
---------------
So…
What Salvation Do we Need from Jesus in Psa_12:1-3?
Notice: (A) Reverent people aren’t there (Psa_12:1 b) (B) sinners deceptively-flatter themselves & each other as good (Psa_12:2-3) -- so (C) David desperately cries out for Divine help/salvation (Psa_12:1 a)
Psalms = Example Prayers -- for
Salvation!
Remember: these songs were ordained to be Sung repeatedly by the monotheists for thousands of years -- that’s some pretty profound repetitive meditation on bad guys!
The Point: You’re not obeying David’s example and crying out for Biblical salvation if you’re not considering the bad guys!
See: Reverent Gospel (Gal_2:2 – unless I had run in vain )
Self-Flattering Boasting is included with Flattering Others
Self-Flattery (“the tongue that boasts” - Psa_12:3) is often included with flattering others (Psa_12:2-3)…
· Vanity is translated represented and understood as lying because it is useless and doesn't do anything
· Compare and contrast the uselessness of lying flatteries with actually hearing and speaking what God is saying
If they had
stood in my counsel they would have turned my people from their sins
Jer_23:22 WEB But if they had stood in my council, then had
they caused my people to hear my words, and had turned them from their evil
way, and from the evil of their doings.
Jer_23:22 LB
But if they had stood in My counsel, and if they had hearkened to My
words, then would they have turned My people from their evil practices.
Jer_23:22 καὶ
εἰ ἔστησαν ἐν τῇ
ὑποστάσει μου
καὶ εἰσήκουσαν
τῶν λόγων μου,
καὶ τὸν λαόν
μου ἂν ἀπέστρεφον
αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ τῶν
πονηρῶν ἐπιτηδευμάτων
αὐτῶν.
· ‘Flattering’ & ‘Boasting Lips’ are Biblically Cursed
· “May Yahweh cut off all flattering lips” (Psa_12:3)
· Don’t ‘rebuke the devil’ for your curse, which he cannot remove, when you actually need to repent to God!
---------------
Curses Still Apply in the NC!
Comp.
Psa_69:22 – May their table be a snare
Psa_69:22 WEB Let their table before them become a snare. May it become a retribution and a trap.
Psa_69:22 LB Let their table before them be for a snare, and for a recompense, and for a stumbling block.
Psa_69:22 (68:23)
γενηθήτω ἡ τράπεζα
αὐτῶν ἐνώπιον
αὐτῶν εἰς παγίδα
καὶ εἰς ἀνταπόδοσιν
καὶ εἰς σκάνδαλον·
Context: Crucifixion (Psa_69:21), persecuting whom God afflicted (Psa_69:26-29), wrath to them & their habitation (Psa_69:24-28)
Future Tense?
TSK: Or, rather, "Their table shall become a snare; their
eyes shall be darkened," etc., in the future tense. Pro_1:32, Mal_2:2,
Rom_11:8-10
But: these words are not marked as “future tense” by OHB (for
example), nor does “future tense” align with Rom_11:9 here…
Is that flattery curse just in the Old Testament??
Psa_69:22 Curse Quoted in the NC, in Rom_11:9:
Rom_11:8 CAB Just as it is written: "God has given them a spirit of stupor, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear, to this very day."
Rom_11:8
καθὼς
γέγραπται· ἔδωκεν
αὐτοῖς ὁ
Θεὸς πνεῦμα
κατανύξεως, ὀφθαλμοὺς
τοῦ μὴ
βλέπειν καὶ ὦτα
τοῦ μὴ ἀκούειν,
ἕως τῆς
σήμερον ἡμέρας.
Rom_11:8 καθως γεγραπται εδωκεν αυτοις ο θεος πνευμα κατανυξεως οφθαλμους του μη βλεπειν και ωτα του μη ακουειν εως της σημερον ημερας
Rom_11:9 And David says: "Let their table become [γενηθήτω V-AOM-3S] a snare and a trap, a stumbling block and a recompense to them.
Rom_11:9
καὶ Δαυῒδ
λέγει·
γενηθήτω V-AOM-3S ἡ
τράπεζα αὐτῶν
εἰς παγίδα
καὶ εἰς
θήραν καὶ εἰς
σκάνδαλον
καὶ εἰς ἀνταπόδομα
αὐτοῖς·
Rom_11:9 και BAδαυιδ TSδαβιδ λεγει γενηθητω η τραπεζα αυτων εις παγιδα και εις θηραν και εις σκανδαλον και εις ανταποδομα αυτοις
Rom_11:10 Let their eyes be darkened V-APM-3P, so that they do not see, and their back always be bowed down."
Rom_11:10
σκοτισθήτωσαν
V-APM-3P οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ
αὐτῶν τοῦ
μὴ βλέπειν,
καὶ τὸν νῶτον
αὐτῶν διὰ
παντὸς

Rom_11:10 σκοτισθητωσαν οι οφθαλμοι αυτων του μη βλεπειν και τον νωτον αυτων Aδια Aπαντος TSBδιαπαντος συγκαμψον

Flattering Glory from WHO?
Joh_5:43 CAB I have come in My Father's name, and you do not receive Me; if another comes in his own name, him you will receive.
Joh_5:43 ἐγὼ
ἐλήλυθα ἐν
τῷ ὀνόματι
τοῦ πατρός
μου, καὶ οὐ
λαμβάνετέ με·
ἐὰν ἄλλος ἔλθῃ
ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι
τῷ ἰδίῳ, ἐκεῖνον
λήψεσθε.
Joh_5:43 εγω εληλυθα εν τω ονοματι του πατρος μου και ου λαμβανετε με εαν αλλος ελθη εν τω ονοματι τω ιδιω εκεινον Aλημψεσθε TSBληψεσθε
Joh_5:44 How can you believe [πῶς δύνασθε ὑμεῖς πιστεῦσαι], who receive [λαμβάνοντες V-PAP-NPM] glory [δόξαν – i.e. including reputation] from one another, and do not seek the glory which is from the only God?
Joh_5:44 πῶς
δύνασθε ὑμεῖς
πιστεῦσαι,
δόξαν παρὰ ἀλλήλων
λαμβάνοντες,
καὶ τὴν
δόξαν τὴν παρὰ
τοῦ μόνου
Θεοῦ οὐ
ζητεῖτε;
Side Note: Here is a Biblical “only God” [μόνου Θεοῦ] statement
Church says: “Hi brother! …Welcome to the house of the lord!” -- this is flattering glory assumed from man; it is NOT exaltation revealed from God!
Flattering = UNBELIEF! -- so You Got to CHOOSE!
The Decisions of “OR”
· OR: Joh_5:44 = “OR”-Decision
· Decision: Notice the “OR” -- the decision you have to make (in Joh_5:44)!
· Vs: It is OR, because it is Good vs. Bad
· Flattery vs. Faith: Flattery (“receive honor from one another”) CANNOT simultaneously have faith into Jesus (“How can you believe” = How can you do powerful-ability [δύνασθε] to do faith).
· Unbelief: Flattering and self-flattering = UNBELIEF against the Biblical Jesus! (as we’ve just seen in Joh_5:44 -- quoted above)
· Flattery skips over & does not apply Biblical warnings to yourself and those flattered -- this is lost-minded unbelief! (Eph_5:18, etc.)
Luk_16:15 CAB And He said to them, "You are those who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts. Because that which is exalted among men is an abomination before God.
Luk_16:15
καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς·
ὑμεῖς ἐστε
οἱ δικαιοῦντες
ἑαυτοὺς ἐνώπιον
τῶν ἀνθρώπων,
ὁ δὲ Θεὸς
γινώσκει τὰς
καρδίας ὑμῶν·
ὅτι τὸ ἐν ἀνθρώποις
ὑψηλὸν
βδέλυγμα ἐνώπιον
τοῦ Θεοῦ TSεστιν
Notice the “OR” decision you have to make
Gal_1:10 CAB For do I
just now persuade
[πείθω] men, or God? Or [ἢ]
do I seek to please men? For if I still
pleased [ἀρέσκειν] men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ.
Gal_1:10 ἄρτι γὰρ ἀνθρώπους πείθω ἢ τὸν Θεόν; ἢ ζητῶ ἀνθρώποις ἀρέσκειν; εἰ γὰρ ἔτι ἀνθρώποις ἤρεσκον, Χριστοῦ δοῦλος οὐκ ἂν ἤμην.
Gal_1:10 αρτι
γαρ ανθρωπους
πειθω η τον
θεον η ζητω ανθρωποις
αρεσκειν ει TSBγαρ
ετι ανθρωποις
ηρεσκον
χριστου δουλος
ουκ αν ημην
Notice the “OR” [ἢ] -- the decision you have to make (in Gal_1:10)!
Rom_2:28 CAB For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly [ἐν τῷ φανερῷ (i.e. SOM: Mat_6 Greek)], nor is circumcision that which is outward in flesh;
Rom_2:28 οὐ
γὰρ ὁ ἐν τῷ
φανερῷ ᾿Ιουδαῖός
ἐστιν, οὐδὲ
ἡ ἐν τῷ
φανερῷ ἐν
σαρκὶ
περιτομή,
Rom_2:29 but he is a Jew that is one inwardly [κρυπτῷ];
and circumcision is ·of the heart, in spirit [καρδίας
ἐν πνεύματι],
not in letter [γράμματι
– i.e. document], whose praise is not of men but [ἀλλ᾿]
of God. [οὗ
ὁ ἔπαινος οὐκ
ἐξ ἀνθρώπων,
ἀλλ᾿ ἐκ τοῦ
Θεοῦ].
Rom_2:29 ἀλλ᾿
ὁ ἐν τῷ
κρυπτῷ ᾿Ιουδαῖος,
καὶ περιτομὴ
καρδίας ἐν
πνεύματι, οὐ
γράμματι, οὗ ὁ
ἔπαινος οὐκ ἐξ
ἀνθρώπων, ἀλλ᾿
ἐκ τοῦ Θεοῦ.
You’re supposed to seek praise from God.
Notice the strong “OR” contrast (but [ἀλλ᾿]), showing decision you have to make.
Preceding Context: Doing righteousness which God Commands = Proof of Jer_31:31 NC
The Point: Do you Trust Proof/Truth, or Yourself ???
Have you chosen the right OR?
Integrity
Pro_20:7 WEB A righteous man walks in integrity. Blessed are his children after him.
Pro_20:7 He that walks blameless in justice shall leave his children blessed.
Pro_20:7 ὃς ἀναστρέφεται ἄμωμος ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ, μακαρίους τοὺς παῖδας αὐτοῦ καταλείψει.
Heart Trusting
Pro_28:26
WEB One who trusts in himself is
a fool; but one who walks in wisdom is kept safe.
Pro_28:26 KJV+ HeH1931 that trustethH982 in his own heartH3820 is a fool:H3684 but whoso walkethH1980 wisely,H2451 heH1931 shall be delivered.H4422
Pro_28:26 LB He who puts confidence in his bold heart is a fool: but he that walks in wisdom shall be safe [σωθήσεται – i.e. saved].
Pro_28:26 ὃς
πέποιθεν
θρασείᾳ καρδίᾳ,
ὁ τοιοῦτος ἄφρων·
ὃς δὲ πορεύεται
σοφίᾳ, σωθήσεται.
Stop Assuming Good!
Stop
Imagining You’re Good
· The bad guys in the Bible are not there just so that we can thank God we're not like them! -- that defeats the whole purpose of the Tax Collector & Pharisee parable (in Luk_18:9-14)!
· Stop presumptively thinking You’re the Good Guy!
· Stop naively thanking God that you're not a bad guy!
· Start praying and even repenting more fervently and zealously so that you might find escape from being the bad guy in God’s story right NOW.
Premature Rejoicing-Boasting
· Premature Arrival Syndrome: Immaturity embraces, systematizes, & perpetuates Flattery -- and this foolishness is actually systematized in most of churchianity
· Don’t congratulate before you graduate.
· Don’t congratulate yourself before you graduate spiritual probation.
· Don’t imagine yourself as the good guy before you’ve been corrected (& corrected yourself) from the failures of bad guys -- remember: the judgements of bad guys are our examples!
Approval vs. Flattery
Opposite of Self-Flattery = God’s Approval -- by proof
Instead of Self-Flattery, wait on God to approve of you by Proof…
---------------
Repent of decision-alism!
Repent of 200-year-old decisional salvation!
Return to 2000-year-old cruci-resurrection salvation!
(Finney)→* Moody → Sunday → Graham
[* Jacob Knapp & John L. Dagg; R. A. Torrey -- Baptists:
200-year old irreversible salvation decision]
Church heresy of decisional salvation has guaranteed salvation without depending on God to “speak up” somehow
It flatters and accredits humans with a salvation worth boasting in.
---------------
Fruit = Proof
Fruit-based salvation = original, non-flattering God-dependent INSPIRED assurance
Stop Flattering!
Stop congratulating before graduating
Stop boasting in benefits without a cost -- a SACRIFICE of crucifixion!
Stop boasting in benefits before the cross!
Flattering = benefits without cost
Inspiration Required!
George Whitfield Quote
Rebuke to George Whitfield’s evangelicalism:
Why are you preaching useless vain evil gospel if you are so sure of guaranteed sinful non-inspiration?
1Pe_4:11
Comp. Gen 6 – 7: I have found you
righteous!
Context: God was about to wipe us all out…
Gen_6:8 WEB But Noah found favor in Yahweh's eyes.
Gen_6:8 But Noah found grace [χάριν] before the Lord God.
Gen_6:8
Νωε δὲ εὗρεν χάριν
ἐναντίον κυρίου
τοῦ θεοῦ.
Gen_7:1 WEB Yahweh said to Noah, "Come with all of your household into the ship, for I have seen your righteousness before me in this generation.
Gen_7:1 CAB The Great Flood And the Lord God said to Noah, “Enter into the ark, you and all your family, for I have seen that you are righteous before Me in this generation.
Gen_7:1 Καὶ
εἶπεν κύριος ὁ
θεὸς πρὸς Νωε Εἴσελθε
σὺ καὶ πᾶς ὁ οἶκός
σου εἰς τὴν
κιβωτόν, ὅτι σὲ
εἶδον δίκαιον ἐναντίον
μου ἐν τῇ γενεᾷ
ταύτῃ.
From there on out…
The whole Bible is about PROOF of righteousness: “I have seen your righteousness”.
That’s God being scientific with His -infinitely more than- “5 senses”.
Note: We should start with the Bible, and then also pray for more revelation of God’s approval.
We’re NOT allowed to be self-willed, self-directed, self-commending, self-flattering experientialists!
God’s approval is through Bible-obedient ears from outside of our flesh, not through felt emotional subjective personal experiences.
See: Reverent Gospel
2Co_10:17 CAB But "he who boasts, let him boast in the LORD."
2Co_10:17 ῾Ο
δὲ
καυχώμενος ἐν
Κυρίῳ
καυχάσθω·
2Co_10:18 For not he who commends [Aσυνιστανων TSBσυνιστων] himself is approved [δόκιμος], but he whom the Lord commends [συνίστησιν].
2Co_10:18 οὐ
γὰρ ὁ ἑαυτὸν
συνιστῶν, ἐκεῖνός
ἐστι
δόκιμος, ἀλλ᾿
ὃν ὁ Κύριος
συνίστησιν
2Co_10:18 ου γαρ ο εαυτον Aσυνιστανων TSBσυνιστων εκεινος εστιν δοκιμος Aαλλα TSBαλλ ον ο κυριος συνιστησιν
“approved” [δόκιμος] = Scientific “test” (just like Romans 1, 1Co_9, 2Co_13, etc.)
Remember:
· Don’t Fragment 2Co_10:17!
· Embrace and finally fully obey 2Co_10:18!
· In 2Co_10 You can’t logically claim to “boast in the LORD” (2Co_10:17) when you are not habitually waiting for His approval in everything you do and say (2Co_10:18)!
Saying everyone’s saved = Boasting flattery
Read!
1Th_1 – 2
When you self-flatter you ignore sin, skip over bad guy warnings (that match your sin), and forfeit the reasonable response of urgency and desperation to change and never obtain the begging that saves
See Your Need
When we really see how bad our flesh is, it awakens our conscience to see how deeply we need help so that we might also see how potent and necessary the Good Message is...
Study Counterfeits Too!
The cheesy saying is not morally True:
"You just need to spend time studying the real dollar bill to recognize counterfeits"
We need to consider the bad guys to know what it means to even become a good guy.
Seeing Failure, Helps Salvation
The Point: We need to consider the bad guys, and diligently apply their warning to ourselves, so we can be the good guys.
We need to think about the bad guys in the Bible so that we will be the winners who are saved by the Good Message.
Salvation Is Always An Issue Until
We’re Out Of Probation
Disqualified!
1Co_9 – Paul avoiding disqualification
2Co_13: – Corinthians should avoid disqualification
Those who fail in the Bible, illustrate and reflect the character flaws of our very own hearts and souls, that we ourselves also need to deal with before we become like them.
Comp. above: 1Co_9 -- salvation is always an issue
1Co_10:1 CAB Now I do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea,
1Co_10:1 Οὐ
θέλω TSBδὲ |Aγαρ| ὑμᾶς ἀγνοεῖν,
ἀδελφοί, ὅτι
οἱ πατέρες ἡμῶν
πάντες ὑπὸ

1Co_10:2 and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea,
1Co_10:2 καὶ
πάντες εἰς

1Co_10:2 και παντες εις τον BAμωυσην TSμωσην Aεβαπτισθησαν TSBεβαπτισαντο εν τη νεφελη και εν τη θαλασση
1Co_10:3 and all ate the same spiritual food,
1Co_10:3 καὶ
πάντες τὸ αὐτὸ
TSBβρῶμα
πνευματικὸν |Aβρωμα| ἔφαγον
1Co_10:4 and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they were drinking from that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was [the] Christ [ὁ Χριστός].
1Co_10:4 καὶ
πάντες τὸ αὐτὸ

|Aπομα|· ἔπινον

1Co_10:5 But with the majority [πλείοσιν]
of them [the] God was not pleased [εὐδόκησεν],
for their
bodies were scattered [κατεστρώθησαν
– lit. strewn down; fig.
overthrow (same as Num_14:16: κατέστρωσεν)]
in the wilderness. [see: Heb_3:17; Jud_1:5]
[Also (TSK): Num_14:11, Num_14:12, Num_14:28-35, Num_26:64, Num_26:65, Deu_1:34, Deu_1:35, Deu_2:15, Deu_2:16, Psa_78:32-34, Psa_90:1, *title Psa_90:7, Psa_90:8, Psa_95:11, Psa_106:26, Heb_3:17, Jud_1:5]

1Co_10:6 Now [δὲ] these things became [ἐγενήθησαν] examples [τύποι] ·for us [ἡμῶν], ·in order that [εἰς τὸ] we [ἡμῶν] ·should not [μὴ] [be (εἶναι)] ·lust after [ἐπιθυμητὰς N-APM – heated-up-lusters-upon] evil things [κακῶν], ·as [καθὼς] ·they also lusted [κἀκεῖνοι ἐπεθύμησαν – i.e. they also headed-up-in-lust-upon there]. [i.e. The Quail & the Graves of Lust: Num_11:4, Num_11:31-34, Psa_78:27-31, Psa_106:14, Psa_106:15 ]
1Co_10:6 ταῦτα

1Co_10:7 Nor [μηδὲ] be [γίνεσθε] idolaters [εἰδωλολάτραι], just as [καθώς] some [τινες] of them; as it is written, "The people [ὁ λαὸς] sat down to eat and drink, and ·rose up [ἀνέστησαν] ·to play [παίζειν]."
1Co_10:7 μηδὲ

1Co_10:8 Nor [μηδὲ] ·let us commit fornication [πορνεύωμεν], just as [καθώς] some of them fornicated [ἐπόρνευσαν], and in one day twenty-three thousand fell [ἔπεσον];
1Co_10:8 μηδὲ

1Co_10:9 nor [μηδὲ] let us tempt [ἐκπειράζωμεν] [the (τὸν)] Christ, ·just as [καθώς] also some of them tempted Him [ἐπείρασαν], and ·were destroyed [ἀπώλοντο] by [ὑπὸ] the serpents [τῶν ὄφεων];
1Co_10:9 μηδὲ
ἐκπειράζωμεν
τὸν Χριστόν,
καθώς καὶ

1Co_10:9 μηδε εκπειραζωμεν τον χριστον καθως TSBκαι τινες αυτων επειρασαν και υπο των οφεων Aαπωλλυντο TSBαπωλοντο
1Co_10:10 nor [μηδὲ] murmer [γογγύζετε], just as [καθὼς] also some [τινὲς] of them murmered [ἐγόγγυσαν], and ·were destroyed [ἀπώλοντο] by [ὑπὸ] the [τοῦ] destroyer [ὀλοθρευτοῦ].
1Co_10:10 μηδὲ
γογγύζετε, TSBκαθὼς |Aκαθαπερ| TSBκαὶ τινὲς αὐτῶν
ἐγόγγυσαν
καὶ ἀπώλοντο
ὑπὸ τοῦ ὀλοθρευτοῦ.
1Co_10:11 Now [δὲ] all these things [ταῦτα] happened [συνέβαινεν] to those people [there (ἐκείνοις)] as examples [ἐκείνοις], and they were written for our instruction, to whom [εἰς οὓς] the ends [τὰ τέλη] of the ages [τῶν αἰώνων] have come [κατήντησεν].
1Co_10:11 ταῦτα

1Co_10:12 So then, let him who thinks [δοκῶν] he stands take heed, lest he should fall!
1Co_10:12 ῞Ωστε
ὁ δοκῶν ἑστάναι

1Co_10:13 NKJV No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.
Cut Out
Gentiles
Rom_11:20 CAB Well said. By unbelief they were broken off, but
you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but fear.
Rom_11:20
καλῶς· τῇ
ἀπιστίᾳ ἐξεκλάσθησαν,
σὺ δὲ τῇ

ἀλλὰ φοβοῦ·
Rom_11:20 καλως τη απιστια εξεκλασθησαν συ δε τη πιστει εστηκας μη Aυψηλα Aφρονει TSBυψηλοφρονει αλλα φοβου
Rom_11:21 For if God did
not spare the natural branches, perhaps He may not spare you either.
Rom_11:21 εἰ γὰρ

Rom_11:22 Behold then the
kindness and severity of God: upon those that fell, severity; but upon you,
kindness, if you continue in His kindness. Otherwise you also shall be cut off.

If we continue to sin willfully
there's no more sacrifice for sin but a certain fearful expectation of judgment
Heb_10:26 NKJV For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,
Heb_10:27 NKJV but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries.
Heb_10:28 NKJV Anyone who has rejected Moses’ law dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.
Heb_10:29 NKJV Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, counted the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing, and insulted the Spirit of grace?
Heb_10:30 NKJV For we know Him who said, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. And again, “The LORD will judge His people.”
Heb_10:31 NKJV It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
Heb_10:38 NKJV Now the just shall live by faith; But if anyone draws back, My soul has no pleasure in him.
Heb_10:39 NKJV But we are not of those who draw back to perdition, but of those who believe to the saving of the soul.
How does your flesh respond to this?
Does this apply to you, and move you to fear God more, or do you skip over it because it (apparently) doesn’t apply to you, because it doesn’t apply “good guys like you”?
Instead of avoiding fear, the righteous are encouraged by embracing it…
Psa_19:9 – Fear of Lord = Clean
Psa_19:9 WEB The fear
of Yahweh is clean, enduring forever. Yahweh's ordinances are true, and
righteous altogether.
Psa_19:9 CAB The fear of
the Lord is pure [ἁγνός], enduring forever and ever: the
judgments of the Lord are true, and justified altogether.
Psa_19:9 (18:10) ὁ

Neh_5:15, Job_1:1-8, Job_28:28, 2Co_7:1, Eph_5:21
If you're preoccupied and obsessed with cleanness and tired of evil and sin, and are longing to be done with perpetuating the doom of evil, then finding out ways that you escape from being evil, and not be the bad guy, is relieving, motivating, and potently encouraging, because it's the saving knowledge you've been longing for all along...
We're
supposed to learn from their examples to 'fear God and turn away from evil'
(seen below…)
Job: Leave Evil = Understanding
Job_28:28 WEB To man he said, 'Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom. To depart from evil is understanding.' "
Job_28:28
CAB And He said to man, ‘Behold, godliness [θεοσέβειά
– God-reverence] is wisdom: and to abstain from evil is understanding.’”

Sentimental or Sober?
· Would you rather be sentimental or sober?
· Would you like to sing the sweet sonnets of the harlot to reinforce lazy thinking by lulling you into complacency to stay where you're already at, or would you rather sing the broken heart of David that writes inspired Scriptural repentance in Psalm 51?
Mat_26:41 NKJV Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation.
The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
1Th_5:6 NKJV Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober.
1Th_5:8 NKJV But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation.
1Pe_4:7 NKJV But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers.
1Pe_5:8 NKJV Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devor
Gospel = Fighting Evil to Escaping Temptation -- in Lord’s Prayer
'Don’t go all the way into temptation' * -- this plea is NOT "passive spirituality" (that is, Protestantism), but this deliverance request takes us all the way into the garden to ‘sweat it out’ with Jesus to discover the whole purpose of the Good Message.
Defeat Evil = Good Message
Considering, confronting, and defeating evil so that you don't fall into it is precisely what the Good Message is found it on.
Details:
Mat_6:9-13/Luk_11:1-4 – Lord’s Prayer
[L11 = √ temptation; ? ·deliver from evil TSB]
Mat_26:36/Mar_14:32/Luk_22:39 – Garden: Watching in Prayer
In the Garden of Gethsemane the deep context is Watching in Prayer, where the sacrifice of the Good Message officially begins, which also uses the exact same language of 'in going into not entering into temptation' as the Lord’s Prayer (Mat_6:13; Luk_11:4)
* Avoid Temptation
Mat_6:13 NKJV And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
Luk_11:4 CAB And forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one."
Luk_11:4 καὶ ἄφες ἡμῖν τὰς ἁμαρτίας ἡμῶν· καὶ γὰρ αὐτοὶ ἀφίεμεν παντὶ ὀφείλοντι ἡμῖν· καὶ μὴ εἰσενέγκῃς ἡμᾶς εἰς πειρασμόν, ἀλλὰ ῥῦσαι ἡμᾶς ἀπὸ τοῦ πονηροῦ.

2Pe_2:9 then the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptation and how to keep the unjust under punishment for the day of judgment,
2Pe_2:9 οἶδε

2Pe_2:10 and especially those who walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness and despise authority. They are bold, self-willed, illustrious persons, they do not tremble at blaspheming,
2Pe_2:10

1Pe_2:24 – Union with Crucifixion
1Co_10:13 NKJV No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.
Follow Jesus’ Sinlessness
· Jesus was Sinless: Jesus victoriously avoided all sin in the garden so that He could be the perfect solution to save all humanity from their sinning.
· Follow His Priesthood: Jesus calls us to follow Him into inspired Sinless perfection to participate as agents and sub-priests in His redemptive priesthood for all humanity to be saved.
·
How About You?: Are you participating when
you are sinning? (this is when the Bible really does say: one OR the other! -- See: AND, Not
OR)
The Point: Considering & defeating evil shows us what the foundation of the Good Message is about: getting redeemed & escaping from all temptation & sinning!
Rejoicing at Destruction of Bad Guys
Rejoicing Over the Destruction of Bad Guys
Bad Guys Destroyed = Salvation of

Pro_1:27 WEB when calamity overtakes you like a storm, when your disaster comes on like a whirlwind; when distress and anguish come on you.
Pro_1:27 yes, when dismay suddenly comes upon you, and your overthrow shall arrive like a tempest; and when tribulation and distress shall come upon you, or when ruin shall come upon you.
Pro_1:27 καὶ

Rejoicing Over the Destroyed
Prostitute
Rev_18:9 NKJV “The kings of the earth who committed fornication and lived luxuriously with her will weep and lament for her...”
Rev_18:20 NKJV Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you holy apostles and prophets, for God has avenged you on her!
Rev_19:1-2 NKJV After these things I heard a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, “Alleluia! Salvation and glory and honor and power belong to the Lord our God! For true and righteous are His judgments, because He has judged the great harlot who corrupted the earth with her fornication; and He has avenged on her the blood of His servants shed by her.”
Rev_19:3 NKJV Again they said, “Alleluia! Her smoke rises up forever and ever!”
This shows you are participating in the evil of sin if you are mourning when evil is finally punished
(Family relationships can be an exception where you're required to mourn, however even that morning obligation is limited in Leviticus 10 for extreme sinfulness.)
Similarly, do you look forward to the judgment and God's destruction of his unrepentant enemies, or do you moan with uncomfortableness?
The Point: Rejoicing over enemy destruction ultimately accomplishes salvation for God’s broken winners in the end.
This goes immediately into Jesus’ Return…
Rev_19:4, etc.
Rev_1:7 NKJV Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him, even they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him.
Isa_25:9 NKJV And it will be said in that day: “Behold, this is our God; we have waited for Him, and He will save us.”

in whom My soul delights! I have put My Spirit upon Him; He will bring forth
justice to the Gentiles. He will not cry out, nor raise His voice, nor cause
His voice to be heard in the street. A bruised reed He will not break, and
smoking flax He will not quench; He will bring forth justice in truth.

nation: Instruction will go forth from Me, and My justice for a light to the

eyes are open on all the ways of the sons of men, to give everyone according to
his ways and according to the fruit of his deeds.

the Ancient of Days was seated; His garment was white as snow, and the hair of
His head was like pure wool. His throne was a fiery flame, its wheels a burning
fire; a fiery stream issued and came forth from before Him. A thousand
thousands ministered to Him; ten thousand times ten thousand stood before Him.
The court was seated, and the books were opened.
Nah_1:2-3 NKJV The Lord is a jealous and avenging God; the

adversaries, and He reserves wrath for His enemies. The Lord is slow to anger
and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked.

righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unjust who inflicts wrath? I
speak in human terms. Certainly not! For then how will God judge the world?

those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Rev_16:5-7 NKJV Then I heard the angel of the waters saying:
“You are righteous, O Lord, the One who is and who was and who is to be,
because You have judged these things. For they have shed the blood of saints
and prophets, and You have given them blood to drink. They are worthy.” And I
heard another from the altar saying, “Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and
righteous are Your judgments.”
Psa_9:7-8 NKJV But the Lord shall endure forever; He has prepared His throne for judgment. And He shall judge the world in righteousness; He shall administer judgment for the peoples in uprightness.

χειρῶν αὐτοῦ
συνελήμφθη ὁ ἁμαρτωλός.
ᾠδὴ διαψάλματος.

οἱ ἁμαρτωλοὶ εἰς
τὸν ᾅδην, πάντα
τὰ ἔθνη τὰ ἐπιλανθανόμενα
τοῦ θεοῦ·
Psa_9:18 WEB For the needy shall not always be forgotten, nor the hope of the poor perish forever.
Psa_9:18 For the poor [πτωχός] shall not be forgotten forever; the patience [ὑπομονὴ] of the needy ones [πενήτων] shall not perish forever.
Psa_9:18 (9:19) ὅτι
οὐκ εἰς τέλος ἐπιλησθήσεται
ὁ πτωχός, ἡ ὑπομονὴ
τῶν πενήτων οὐκ
ἀπολεῖται εἰς
τὸν αἰῶνα.
Why is God being made known right in the middle of all of these cries for help and judgment on enemies?
This is a three-way parallelism
Notice: Good Guys = Beggars (Psa_9:18)

Remember to come
back here and comeback and keep reading about sin…
Don’t Trivialize what kills you & others!
Little leaven
1Co_15: in Adam all die
Job_42: I abhor myself
Why aren't you begging?
Trivializing sin stops begging
Trivializing = Already Full
Trivializing your sin is the dreadful basis of being already full and not being desperate to change...
this is the profound problem:
You are not tired of sin when you are the one sinning against others, but you are tired of sin when you're the truly poor victim who is being sinned against!
It is the theology of unrepentant criminals to accept sin as normal in church people's lives
Begging is proof of
Truth obsession and hating sin.
You should be
desperately begging Bible obeys to help you get free from sin -- embracing the
real gospel
You should
zealously seek out help to perceive, understand, and fully acknowledge the
desolation of your flesh
Romans 6 - Romans 8
This tells you what
the flesh is
Matthew_5:48 - be perfect just as your father in
the heavens is perfect
This commanded
perfection makes those sinning against others uncomfortable, but it is
encouraging life to those who are being sinned against.
Can a sinful human
be perfect unless God inspires him?
(We typically get
inspiration and prophecy all goofed up...)
Trivializing sin
and congratulating your religion is treating your uninspired imperfection and
tolerance of sin as if it's inspired - which is the root of cultish mindless
thinking that everyone is essentially guilty of

Depravity
Without Begging?
The fact that we
admit universal human sinfulness, and yet we're not begging, proves that we're
failing to apply depravity to ourselves personally
If the flash really
is that evil, how could we stand to live with ourselves without asking others
for help?
If you say you know
that your flesh is sinful, why are you comfortable with that?
If you say you
haven't arrived at Perfection yet how could you dare fail to beg others to help
you get there?
If Perfection is
not your goal, you're not heading toward (& on your way to) heaven (heaven
is perfect!)
He has perfected
forever those who are being sanctified
Failure to
continually apply humanities problem to yourself (right here right now) is
trivializing sin.
The flesh is always
avoiding the Justice right in front of its face
Sin, Luxury,
Apostasy - we've got two more soberly consider how these are affecting us and
we're not immune to the temptation and influence of corruption that surrounds
us in our culture
To the degree we
are negligent we are deceived
Subconscious failure
is way too Common
Do You Care?
· When is the last time you sinned? Did you even notice?
· Do you even remember?
· When is the last time you repented fervently?
Peter went out and
cried bitterly
Psalm 51
Are You Tired of
Sinning?
Are you in danger
of trivializing sin?
"Oh, it's just
a little apple" -- and then you've killed the entire human race...
Hate what is evil
cling to what is good
Pro_8:13 The fear
of the Lord is hatred of evil. Pride and arrogance and the way of evil and
perverted speech I hate."
There's a real
maturity worth pursuing:
More holiness, more
zeal, more hatred of sin
The Flesh likes to
boast in fleshly maturity, which is worldly fleshly wisdom, which is condemned
by the Bible. But morality is the boast of every verse in the Bible.
So, trivializing
sin stops you from hating sin fervently.
Consider what's at
stake of being lost...
Making light of sin
means...
· You'll be far away from God's holiness,
· When you pray He will hide his face from you (Isa_1:, etc.)
· You won't hate sin,
· You won't beg others to help you get out of it,
· You won't confess your sin enough to forsake them,
· You won't repent enough to stop doing it,
· You will be "living in sin" "and continuing to sin" which makes you a child of the devil and a slave of sin, and
· You won't be saved from sin (Matthew_1:21) like the beginning of the Gospel says
You will be doing unrighteousness against others, which means that you don't inherit the Kingdom of Heaven (1 Corinthians 6)
Unrighteous don't inherit the Kingdom of Heaven
You won't have real love because
love does not sin or do unrighteousness against its neighbor
-- Under Construction --
Consistency Needed Against Sin
If you know humanity is sinful, why are you lazy against your own flesh?
If you believe sin kills, why aren't you running away from it with all your might?
If sin tries to trick even the smartest people, why are you using such low standards to resist its deception?
If we all know that apostasy exists, why aren't you making sure you're not deceived?
If people don't know when they're deceived, why aren't you seeking out accountability to make sure you're not?
If the world is deceived in the end times, why are you using conventional methods to avoid its deception?
Stop Independence!
If you know you need help, why aren't you begging those who are inspired with obedience?

· The Bible is true, and I believe it, so I'm going to heaven...even if i don't obey all of it
· The Bible is true, and it says that you can't continue in sin and go to heaven, but I can go to heaven anyway because of Grace
· Disobeying the commands of the Bible is sinful, and even though the Bible commands head coverings, I don't have to obey it because that was their culture
· The Bible says only poor people can go to heaven, but I can go to heaven being rich because... of my heart... i give my tithe...
· Bible says you need baptism discipleship from Bible obeyers to inherit heaven, but I can go to heaven all on my own / by myself / with modern Christianity anyway because I said a prayer in my personal prayer closet and have a personal relationship with JC
Isa_3:11 CAB Woe to the transgressor! Evils shall happen to him according to the works of his hands.
Psa_1:1-6 CAB Blessed is the man who has not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, and has not stood in the way of sinners, and has not sat in the seat of evil men. 2 But his pleasure is in the law of the Lord; and in His law will he meditate day and night. 3 And he shall be as a tree planted by the brooks of waters, which shall yield its fruit in its season, and its leaf shall not fall off; and whatsoever he shall do shall prosper. 4 Not so for the ungodly — not so; but rather as the chaff which the wind scatters away from the face of the earth. 5 Therefore the ungodly shall not rise in the judgment, nor sinners in the counsel of the just. 6 For the Lord knows the way of the righteous; but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
Psa_3:7 CAB ...You have broken the teeth of sinners.
Psa_9:17 CAB Let sinners be driven away into Hades [Hell], even all the nations that forget God.
Psa_11:5-7 CAB The Lord tests the righteous and the ungodly: and he that loves unrighteousness hates his own soul. 6 He shall rain upon sinners snares, fire, and brimstone, and a stormy blast shall be the portion of their cup. 7 For the Lord is righteous, and loves righteousness; His face beholds uprightness.
Psa_28:3-5 CAB Draw not away my soul with sinners, and destroy me not with the workers of iniquity, who speak peace with their neighbors, but evil are in their hearts. 4 Give them according to their works, and according to the wickedness of their endeavors; give them according to the works of their hands; render their recompense unto them. 5 Because they have not attended to the works of the Lord, even to the works of His hands, You shall pull them down, and shall not build them up.
Psa_34:21 CAB The death of sinners is evil; and they that hate righteousness will go wrong.
Psa_37:1-40 CAB A Psalm of David. Do not fret because of evildoers, neither be envious of them that do iniquity. 2 For they shall soon be withered as the grass, and shall soon fall away as the green herbs. 3 Hope in the Lord, and do good... 6 And He shall bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your judgment as the noonday. 7 Submit yourself to the Lord, and make supplication to Him; do not fret because of him that prospers in his way, at the man that does unlawful deeds. 8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath; do not fret, so as not to do evil. 9 For evildoers shall be destroyed; but they that wait on the Lord, they shall inherit the land. 10 And yet a little while, and the sinner shall not be... 12 The sinner will watch for the righteous, and gnash his teeth upon him. 13 But the Lord shall laugh at him; for He foresees that his day will come. 14 Sinners have drawn their swords; they have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay the upright in heart. 15 Let their sword enter into their own heart, and their bows be broken. 16 A little is better to the righteous than the abundant wealth of sinners. 17 For the arms of sinners shall be broken; but the Lord supports the righteous. 18 The Lord knows the ways of the upright; and their inheritance shall be forever... 20 For the sinners shall perish; and the enemies of the Lord at the moment of their being honored and exalted have utterly vanished like smoke. 21 The sinner borrows, and will not pay again; but the righteous has compassion, and gives... 23 The steps of a man are rightly ordered by the Lord... 28 For the Lord loves judgment, and will not forsake His saints; they shall be preserved forever; the blameless shall be avenged, but the seed of the ungodly shall be utterly destroyed... 32 The sinner watches the righteous, and seeks to slay him. 33 But the Lord will not leave him in his hands, nor by any means condemn him when he is judged. 34 Wait on the Lord, and keep His way, and He shall exalt you to inherit the land; when the wicked are destroyed, you shall see it. 35 I saw the ungodly very highly exalting himself, and lifting himself up like the cedars of Lebanon. 36 Yet I passed by, and lo! He was not; and I sought him, but his place was not found... 38 But the transgressors shall be utterly destroyed together; the remnants of the ungodly shall be utterly destroyed. 39 But the salvation of the righteous is of the Lord; and He is their defender in the time of affliction. 40 And the Lord shall help them, and deliver them; and He shall rescue them from sinners, and save them, because they have hoped in Him.
Psa_68:2-3 CAB As smoke vanishes, let them vanish: as wax melts before the fire, so let the sinners perish from before God. 3 But let the righteous rejoice...
Psa_75:10 CAB And I will break all the horns of sinners; but the horns of the righteous one shall be exalted.
(Also see Psa_75:4-8)
Psa_92:7 CAB When the sinners spring up as the grass, and all the workers of iniquity have watched; it is that they may be utterly destroyed forever.
Psa_101:6-8 CAB My eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me; he that walked in a perfect way, the same ministered to me. 7 He that is proud dwelled not in the midst of my house; the unjust speaker prospered not in my sight. 8 Early did I slay all the sinners of the land, that I might destroy out of the city of the Lord all that work iniquity.
Psa_104:35 CAB Let the sinners fail from off the earth, and transgressors, so that they shall be no more. Bless the Lord, O my soul.
Psa_106:17-18 CAB The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and closed upon the congregation of Abiram. 18 And a fire was kindled in their congregation, and a flame burned up the sinners.
Psa_119:110 CAB Sinners spread a snare for me; but I erred not from Your commandments.
Psa_119:119 CAB I have reckoned all the sinners of the earth as transgressors; therefore have I loved Your testimonies.
Psa_119:155 CAB Salvation is far from sinners; for they have not searched out Your statutes.
Psa_129:3-8 CAB The sinners wrought upon my back: they prolonged their iniquity. 4 The righteous Lord has cut in pieces the necks of sinners. 5 Let all that hate Zion be put to shame and turned back. 6 Let them be as the grass of the housetops, which withers before it is plucked up. 7 Wherewith the reaper fills not his hand, nor he that makes up the sheaves, his bosom. 8 Neither do they that go by say, The blessing of the Lord be upon you; we have blessed you in the name of the Lord.
Psa_141:10 CAB Sinners shall fall by their own net: I am alone until I shall escape.
Psa_145:18-20 CAB The Lord is near to all that call upon Him, to all that call upon Him in truth. 19 He will perform the desire of them that fear Him: and He will hear their supplication, and save them. 20 The Lord preserves all that love Him: but all sinners He will utterly destroy.
Psa_146:9 CAB He will relieve the orphan and widow: but will utterly remove the way of sinners.
Psa_147:6 CAB The Lord lifts up the meek; but brings sinners down to the ground.
Isa_1:28, 31 CAB And the transgressors and the sinners shall be crushed together, and they that forsake the Lord shall be utterly consumed... 31 And their strength shall be as a thread of tow, and their works as sparks, and the transgressors and the sinners shall be burned up together, and there shall be none to quench them.
Isa_14:5 CAB The Lord has broken the yoke of sinners, and the yoke of princes.
Isa_33:14-16 CAB The sinners in Zion have departed; trembling shall seize the ungodly. Who will tell you that a fire is kindled? Who will tell you of the eternal place? 15 He that walks in righteousness, speaking rightly, hating transgression and iniquity, and shaking his hands from gifts, stopping his ears that he should not hear the judgment of blood, shutting his eyes that he should not see injustice. 16 He shall dwell in a high cave of a strong rock; bread shall be given to him, and his water shall be sure.
Amo_9:8 CAB Behold, the eyes of the Lord God are upon the kingdom of sinners, and I will cut it off from the face of the earth…
Amo_9:10 CAB All the sinners of My people shall die by the sword, who say, Calamities shall certainly not draw near, nor come upon us.
Luk_13:1-5 CAB And some people were present at that very time, reporting to Him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices. 2 And Jesus answered and said to them, "Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all other Galileans, because they suffered such things? 3 Not at all, I tell you; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish. 4 Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them, do you think that these were offenders more than all other men who dwelt in Jerusalem? 5 Not at all, I tell you; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish."
Joh_9:31 CAB Now we know that God does not hear sinners; but if anyone is God-fearing and does His will, He hears him.
Gal_2:17-18 CAB But if by seeking to be justified in Christ, we ourselves also were found sinners, then is Christ a minister of sin? Certainly not! 18 For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor.
1Ti_1:8-11 KJB But we know that the law is good, if one uses it lawfully; 9 Knowing this: that the law is not laid down for a righteous person but for the lawless and unsubmitted*, G506 for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers* G3964 and murderers of mothers* G3389; for murderers of men;** 10 For fornicators, homosexuals,G733 for slave traders,G405 for liars, for oath breakers, and if there is anything else that is contrary to sound doctrine; 11 According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.
* "unsubmitted...fathers...mothers..." see:
Exo_21:15; Lev_20:9; Deu_27:16; Pro_20:20; Pro_28:24, Pro_30:11, Pro_30:17
** Being considered "murderers," before God is not limited to a physical act:
Mat_5:21-22; 1Jn_3:15
Heb_7:22, 26 CAB ...Jesus... 26 ...is holy, innocent, undefiled, having been separated from sinners, and has become higher than the heavens;
Jas_4:8-10 CAB Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. 9 Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter change into mourning and your joy into dejection. 10 Be humbled before the Lord, and He will exalt you.
Jud_1:14-15 CAB Now Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men, saying, "Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of His saints, 15 to execute judgment against all, and to convict all the ungodly among them about all their ungodly deeds which they have committed impiously, and about all the harsh words which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him."
As said before:
Rev_21:8; KJV 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…
Rev_21:27 KJV And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.
Rev_22:14-15 KJ2000 Blessed are they that do his commandments,
that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the
gates into the city. 15 For
outside are dogs, and sorcerers, and fornicators, and murderers, and idolaters,
and whosoever loves and makes a lie.
So…
Heb_12:14 KJV Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:
If you continue to sin, then you
have no True repentance or salvation.
i. Jesus Says
Luk_6:43 For a good tree does not
produce bad fruit, nor does a bad tree produce good fruit.
Mat_3:10 And now also the ax is laid at the root of the trees, so that every tree that does not produce good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
Luk_6:46 Why do you call me, `Lord, Lord,' and don't do the things which I say?
Joh_14:15 If you Love Me, keep my commands... 23 ...If anyone Loves Me, he will obey my words... 24
He who does not Love me will not
obey my words.
ii.
The Bible Also Says
1Jn_2:4 He who says, “I have come to
know him,” but does not keep His commands is a liar, and the Truth is not in
him.
1Jn_3:6-10 Whoever remains in Him does not continue to sin. Whoever continues to sin has not seen Him, or known Him. 7 Little children, don’t let anyone deceive you: he that does what is right is righteous, just as He is righteous. 8 He that continues to sin is of the devil; because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. For this reason the Son of God was revealed, that He might destroy the works of the devil. 9 Whoever is born of God does not continue to sin; for His seed remains in him: and he cannot go on sinning, because he is born of God. 10 In this the children of God and the children of the devil are revealed: whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God…

A
lot of heresy has been taught based on referencing 1Co_3,
the so-called “Carnal Christian” passage.
And
although there are lots of slippery confusions on the wording, yet the main
goal of “Carnal Preachers” is to teach that “Carnal Christians” are still going
to heaven even though they are “Carnal”, or “fleshly”.
Rather
than spend too much time on confusions on wording, it is more direct to simply
confront the heresy that teaches that the “‘Carnal Corinthians’ prove that
‘Carnal Christians’ can still go to heaven today”.
Yes,
on the contrary: it is actually because the very fact that the Bible says that
the Carnal Corinthians were about to go to hell that proves that ‘Carnal
Christians’ are also about to fall into eternal torcher for living in the
flesh…
Paul Warned the Corinthians That They Were In
Danger of Hell
·
thinking they
were Ok (1Co_10:12), but,
·
they were in
danger of falling (1Co_10:8, 1Co_10:12), and,
being “burned up” (comp. 1Co_3:9, 1Co_3:15)
·
in the “fire” of Judgement
“Day” (1Co_3:13), because,
·
“some have
become arrogant” (1Co_4:18), and again he
says,
·
“And you have
become arrogant…” (1Co_5:2)
·
Paul says they
were boasting with the puffing-leaven
of pride (1Co_5:6)
·
They did
injustice/unrighteousness (1Co_6:8), and,
·
“unrighteous ones will not *inherit
God’s Kingdom” (* by lot & by law) (1Co_6:9)
·
They were about
to be disqualified / tested and
disapproved
[ἀδόκιμος (1Co_9:27); οὐκ… ἐν
τοῖς
πλείοσιν αὐτῶν
εὐδόκησεν (1Co_10:5);
“αἱρέσεις
ἐν ὑμῖν” vs. “οἱ
δόκιμοι” 1Co_11:19; ἀδόκιμοί
(2Co_13:5);
unlike Paul: 2Co_13:6-7], from,
·
not running /
competing in agony [ἀγωνιζόμενος
(1Co_9:25)] / beating their body into slavery [ὑπωπιάζω
(1Co_9:27)] with mighty
virtues [ἐγκρατεύεται
(1Co_9:25)] in such a way as to win (take hold down) [λαμβάνει
/ καταλάβητε (1Co_9:24)] the incurruptable / un-rotable [ἄφθαρτον
(1Co_9:25)] prize [βραβεῖον (1Co_9:24)] / victor’s crown (1Co_9:25)
·
They had heresies* [αἱρέσεις (1Co_11:19)] / schisms [σχίσματα (1Co_11:18)]
[* Heresy = Hell:
Gal_5:19: work of the
flesh; Gal_5:20: incl.
heresies (ἔρις…ἐριθείαι…αἱρέσεις);
Gal_5:21: those who
practice {πράσσοντες}
such things will not inherit
{κληρονομήσουσιν}
the kingdom of God {βασιλείαν
Θεοῦ} (CAB);
Tit_3:10 CAB Reject
[παραιτοῦ] a divisive man
[αἱρετικὸν ἄνθρωπον
– heresy man] after the first and
second admonition [νουθεσίαν]]
·
Paul was about to formally judge the
Corinthians (1Co_5-6; 2Co_13:1), and,
·
excuminicate them for the continued sin,
including…
[τῇ ἀκαθαρσίᾳ
καὶ πορνείᾳ
καὶ ἀσελγείᾳ
(2Co_12:20-21) /
τοῖς προημαρτηκόσι
(2Co_13:2)] /
doing nasty evil
[κακὸν (2Co_13:7)] of
despising God’s weakness in Paul (2Co_13:4), and,
not believing Jesus speaking the perfect/sun-tested/uncorrupted
[οὐ…καπηλεύοντες…εἰλικρινείας
(2Co_2:17) / οὐδένα ἠδικήσαμεν,
οὐδένα ἐφθείραμεν
(2Co_7:2)] Word of God in him &
saying it ‘amonted to nothing’ [ἐξουθενημένος
= ἐκ + ουθενεο
(? See: WS: G1848), (2Co_10:10)] &
not considering Paul’s inability to contradict the Truth (2Co_13:2-3; 2Co_13:8; 2Co_7:14; 2Co_2:17; which is just like Jesus: Joh_5:19-20, Joh_5:30).
·
2Co_13:2-3 CAB …I will not spare you [φείσομαι
(same as 2Co_1:23)], 3 since you [ἐπεὶ]
are seeking [ζητεῖτε] proof
[δοκιμὴν – i.e. a testing proof] of
[τοῦ – i.e. that] Christ
[Χριστοῦ] speaking in me
·
Paul commanded them to question and test themselves if they were in the
faith / had Jesus in them (2Co_13:5)
·
They were in
danger of…
lusting (1Co_10:6),
being idolatrous (1Co_10:7),
prostituting/fornicating (1Co_10:8),
God-tempting (1Co_10:9),
complainers/grumblers/murmurers (1Co_10:10)
who would be “strewn down” dead as the Israelites in the wilderness (1Co_10:5).
·
They were in
danger of being polytheistic gentile/pagans/heathens (1Co_10:20 (TSB); 1Co_12:2), and,
·
“Being lead” by
speechless idols (1Co_12:2), and,
·
being
idolatrous demon worshipers (1Co_10:7)
·
Sharing/Reciprocating
with Idols/Demons (1Co_10:19-20; 1Co_12:2); κοινωνοὺς
τῶν
δαιμονίων (1Co_10:20)
·
Having their
communion mixed with demons (1Co_10:21)
·
Cheating on
Anointed One (2Co_11:2-3; comp. Num_5: spirit of
jealousy)
Not being a
holy-pure virgin -- i.e. committing spiritual prostitution/fornication (2Co_11:3) with another Jesus [ἄλλον
᾿Ιησοῦν] [which is calls the
serpent/snake [ὄφις (2Co_11:3)] / the Satan [ὁ
Σατανᾶς (2Co_11:14)] / another spirit [πνεῦμα
ἕτερον
λαμβάνετε] / another gospel
/ good-announcement [εὐαγγέλιον
ἕτερον] (2Co_11:4)
·
Tricked out /
completely deceived like Eve by the serpent/snake [ὄφις (2Co_11:3)] / the Satan [ὁ
Σατανᾶς (2Co_11:14)] [ὡς ὁ ὄφις
Εὕαν ἐξηπάτησεν
ἐν τῇ
πανουργίᾳ αὐτοῦ
(2Co_11:3); δόλιοι (2Co_11:13)]
·
Their knowledge
being rotted [φθαρῇ
τὰ νοήματα]
away from the Anointed
One [εἰς
τὸν Χριστόν]
(2Co_11:3)
·
…and all this is connected with “reigning as kings” without Paul: 1Co_4:8 / 2Co_11:5!
·
They initially
needed repentance that would save them [μετάνοιαν
εἰς σωτηρίαν
(2Co_7:9-11)].
·
They eventually
repented into salvation from the luxury of not needing/believing Paul’s
inspiration (2Co_7:6-12).
1Co_9:24 Do you not know that [indeed (μὲν)] those ·running [τρέχοντες] in ·a stadium [σταδίῳ] all run, but one [εἷς] receives [λαμβάνει] the ·prize [βραβεῖον]? So run, ·in order that [ἵνα] ·you may win [καταλάβητε].
1Co_9:24 Οὐκ οἴδατε
ὅτι οἱ ἐν
σταδίῳ
τρέχοντες
πάντες μὲν
τρέχουσιν, εἷς
δὲ λαμβάνει
τὸ βραβεῖον;
οὕτω τρέχετε, ἵνα
καταλάβητε.
1Co_9:25 And [but]
everyone [πᾶς δὲ
ὁ] ·who competes [ἀγωνιζόμενος]
·exercises
self-control [ἐγκρατεύεται]
in
all things [πάντα].
Now [οὖν – so]
[indeed (μὲν)] they compete
·in
order that [ἵνα] they
may receive [λάβωσιν]
a perishable [φθαρτὸν]
·[victor’s] crown [στέφανον],
but we compete
for
·an
imperishable crown [ἄφθαρτον].
1Co_9:25 πᾶς
δὲ ὁ ἀγωνιζόμενος
πάντα ἐγκρατεύεται,
ἐκεῖνοι μὲν
οὖν ἵνα

δὲ ἄφθαρτον.
1Co_9:26 Therefore [τοίνυν] I run [τρέχω] thus [οὕτω]: not as ·without a goal [ἀδήλως], thus I box [πυκτεύω]: not as one beating [δέρων] ·the air [ἀέρα].
1Co_9:26 ἐγὼ
τοίνυν οὕτω
τρέχω, ὡς οὐκ
ἀδήλως, οὕτω
πυκτεύω, ὡς

1Co_9:27 But [|TSBαλλ| Aἀλλὰ] I treat [that of (τὸ)] my body roughly [ὑπωπιάζω], and ·I bring it into subjection [δουλαγωγῶ], lest [TSBμήπως |Aμη Aπως|], having preached [κηρύξας] ·to others [ἄλλοις], I myself ·should become [γένωμαι] disqualified [ἀδόκιμος].
