Who is God?
There is ONLY ONE GOD:
God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
One God in three- all three are the same God.
GOD is:
OMNISCIENT (all powerful)
OMNIPOTENT (all knowing)
OMNIPRESENT (ever present)
Jesus did not come to this world to change a bad person into a good person BUT to change a dead person into a living one. ONLY thru Christ Jesus will you have eternal life. NO other can give you salvation.
When Christ died on the cross he made it clear that His mission was complete.
John 19:30 KJV
When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.
No longer are any sacrifice needed. Christ was the final sacrifice.
John:3:16 KLV
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
Yet, the Roman Catholic Church continues to do their ritual mass stating that the taking of their eucharist is a sacrament NOT just a symbol!
Per the Catholic teachings:
The Mass is classed as a sacrament (an outward sign of an internal truth or experience) because the Eucharist is received within each Mass. The Mass is also classed as a sacrifice, as the sacrifice of Christ on the cross is made present and true each time the Eucharist is celebrated.
This is direct blasphemy and goes against God's teachings! The bible warns you if you continue to participate in such demonic acts! Hebrews 10: 11-14:11 Day after day every priest stands and performs his religious duties; again and again he offers the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. 12 But when this priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God, 13 and since that time he waits for his enemies to be made his footstool. 14 For by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy. ... Hebrews 10:18 And where these have been forgiven, sacrifice for sin is no longer necessary...26 If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, 27 but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God. 28 Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. 29 How much more severely do you think someone deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified them, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace? 30 For we know him who said, “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,”[d] and again, “The Lord will judge his people.”[e] 31 It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
Jesus is the "word" of God. (John 1:1)Jesus is God. Through Jesus all things were made. Jesus was with God in the very beginning of time. Scripture is the "word" from God.
2 Timothy 3:16
16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness
Scripture being the word of God is then Christ. Matthew 5:17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.”
Therefore, any of you who deny any part of Scripture or never take the time to read it, learn it, and follow its teachings has denied Christ to have a relationship with you.
Warning!!!
Revelation 22:18-19
"I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this scroll: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to that person the plagues described in this scroll. 19 And if anyone takes words away from this scroll of prophecy, God will take away from that person any share in the tree of life and in the Holy City, which are described in this scroll."
Consider the entire Bible from the Tanakh (Old Testament) to the end of the New Testament as one large scroll- the true Scripture. Also study the Septuagint bible since this is the bible that Christ Jesus and the Apostles did NOT use the Masonic bible that was created from a translation done 100s of years after Christ. Also see notes about warnings on latest writings such as the NIV. Any other bible used, such as the Catholic Bible or those used by the Jehovah Witness, Mormons, etc are false teachings! Any religion that was formed after the Apostle John is false teaching!
2 Corinthians 11:3-4
"[3] But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent's cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ. [4] For if someone comes to you and preaches a Jesus other than the Jesus we preached, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received, or a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it easily enough."
FALSE TEACHINGS OF JESUS'
The following organizations teach or preach a different Jesus than the one of the Bible. These organizations spread heresy. Some of the organizations who claim to be Christian but preach a different Jesus.
1. JEHOVAH WITNESS - Jesus Christ is Michael the Archangel.
2. CHRISTIAN SCIENCE – Jesus is a man; Christ is an ideal.
3. LATTER DAY SAINTS - Jesus is the first of many spirit children of Elohim.
4. HEALTH AND WEALTH MINISTRIES - Jesus is like Santa Claus who, on demand, provides His people with health and financial prosperity.
5. THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH – Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross was not sufficient to save us from all our sins. Consequently, a person who died with an un-confessed, small or venial, sin is required to go to purgatory to make atonement for them and cleanse their soul (RCC 1030-1031).
We also find there are religious organizations that do not claim to be Christian but do teach about a different Jesus. For example,
1. JUDAISM - This religious organization believes that Jesus is a dead prophet.
2. EASTERN MYSTICISM (TM, BUDDHISM, KRISHNA, ETC.) - These organizations believe and teach that Jesus is a dead teacher or master.
3. ISLAM – He was a prophet called Isa. He did not die on the cross or was physically resurrected from the dead.
The Lord's Prayer (Traditional)
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come;
thy will be done;
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation;
but deliver us from the evil one.
For thine is the kingdom,
the power and the glory,
for ever and ever. Amen.
The GREAT COMMANDMENT: LOVE GOD & LOVE ONE ANOTHER:
Matt. 22 Verses 34 to 40[37] Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. [38] This is the first and great commandment. [39] And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
The GREAT COMMISSION: Spread the word of Christ to all nations:
Matthew 28:18–20:
18 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Go therefore and kmake disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
The GREAT COMMITMENT: To dedicate our lives to Christ, our Lord, through how we live, our focus, our words, our actions, and our service to others:
Proverbs 16:3 recommends that we dedicate our work to the Lord, "Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans." This verse reminds us of the importance of committing our work and our lives to God.
