Have you ever stopped to think about many different churches there are, about how many different beliefs there are, and about how many different religions there are? And while religious freedom is essential, it is necessary to be particularly carefully about what we believe, and to whom we choose to listen to. Christ Jesus of Nazareth warned us about false prophets, antichrists, and those that would attempt to lead people away from God. Just as the serpent in the garden of Eden tempted Eve to partake of the fruit of the tree of knowledge, satan is tempting the people of today to partake in unrighteousness. While partaking of the fruit of the tree of knowledge is a sin, the first sin may well have been listening to the serpent in the first place, at least in the eyes of Almighty God.
Now that we have reached the last days, we must be particularly careful to listen to only truth. To even listen to untruth, is to give evil room to plant a seed. God watches to see to whom we listen to and the devil and satan, knowing this, has seized all manner of opportunity, including the secular media, to plant seeds of doubt, seeds of lusts, seeds of temptation, and opportunity to make those prone to inquity to flourish and grow.
The Holy Bible tells us that God created the heavens and the earth, and armed us with the Holy Bible in print, all of us that believe in God, know that there is only one God. However, as we read the Holy Bible, we find that people in biblical times were accused of worshiping something that was not God. How could this be? Had they been fooled into believing that something that they had heard in the spirit was God, even though it was not so? And have times changed so much that no one would ever be fooled ever again? Remember Christ Jesus of Nazareth warned us of antichrists and false prophets, that we should not listen to them.
Matthew 24:4:13
4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. 5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. 6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows. 9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. 10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. 11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. 12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. 13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. 14And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
The Holy Bible also warns us that satan will prepare the way for something evil, referring to it as the man of sin and the son of perdition, which is to say that it is the son of destruction, which will exalt itself to be worshiped, and pose itself as God.
2 Thessalonians 2:3-7
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. 5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? 6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. 7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
But God will save those that believe, while letting those that do not believe to go to damnation, because they chose to take pleasure in unrighteousness. Lord God Yahweh and Christ Jesus of Nazareth believe that each of us makes a choice. It is very important to them that you choose to believe in Christ Jesus of Nazareth. A few years ago I asked Christ Jesus of Nazareth to save someone. He shook his head and said they chose that.
2 Thessalonians 8:12
8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
Lord God Yahweh believes that as believers in Christ Jesus of Nazareth, we will resist temptation and choose paths of righteousness.
1 John 3:8-10
He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.
Christ Jesus of Nazareth and Lord God Yahweh believe that if you have relationship with them, then you will hear from them and be lead by the Holy Spirit. We are warned of strong delusion and warned of possible deceptions that we might encounter, but we are supposed to pray for guidance and listen to Christ Jesus of Nazareth and the Holy Spirit. We are supposed to detect the lie and avoid being deceived. We should also avoid attending situations where deception is being presented.
One deception that I am aware of is the use of AI to make holograms that are so realistic that people will be deceived into believeing it is a real person. Someone has developed a disc that when someone stands on it, it can project the image of that person worldwide. I am concerned that they will use this disc to deceive people with a false image of Christ Jesus of Nazareth. I am also aware that satan plans to steal prayers not addressed to Christ Jesus of Nazareth, which is the reason I have begun to address Christ Jesus as Christ Jesus of Nazareth.
Our salvation is based on believing on Christ Jesus of Nazareth and choosing to live according to God’s statues, instead of partaking in the pleasures of sin. The scripture also states that our salvation is strengthened by establishing in ourselves God’s works and God’s words.
2 Thessalonians 8:13-17
13 But we are bound to give thanks always to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: 14 Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle. 16 Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace, 17 Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work.
Remember that Christ Jesus of Nazareth gave us warnings with the intention of mankind hearing his warnings, and preparing themselves to avoid those things that Christ Jesus of Nazareth warned us about. Remember also that Lord God also warned us by speaking through prophets, and we are expected to avoid those things that God warned us about. While the Holy Bible does warn us of things to come, the Holy Bible also instructs us to keep God’s statues, to keep God’s commandments, and to love one another as we love ourselves. Remembering this, knowing that it is the instruction of all that exist and has ever existed, then we also know that it is not anyone’s duty or obligation to be anyone that is evil or harmful in the Holy Bible, or to carry out anything that was harmful to others that is described in the Holy Bible. The warnings are warnings, and to be disregarded. Remember that God promised that if people would repent and pray that he would heal the land.
2 Chronicles 7:14
14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
In the name of Christ Jesus of Nazareth, I pray dear God that you give us each discernment to know evil where it exists, the wisdom to avoid sin and situations that would lead us into sin, and the way and means to escape persecution. I pray that people will choose to believe on Christ Jesus of Nazareth and will choose righteousness as well. I pray Lord God Yahweh and dear Christ Jesus of Nazareth that you protect us from evil and protect us from temptation and protect us from deception. I pray this in the name of Christ Jesus of Nazareth. Amen.
