Isaiah 7:14 - Jesus is called Immanuel which means "God with us"
Matthew 1:23-25
"And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God."
Some like to use the same old tired argument to attack Jesus and try to discredit Him, which is: Jesus never claimed He was God.
It's a logical flaw to assume something based on something not being recorded. The Bible never said it's the Bible, either. The word Bible isn't in the Bible, so should we assume it isn't a Bible? You probably haven't ever published a book saying that you're a human being, so based on this logic we can assume you aren't one?
Just because there isn't a direct quote from someone doesn't invalidate a concept from the Bible. For example, the Bible didn't record Jesus ever saying we shouldn't "shoot someone." Does that mean it's ok? The Bible also didn't record Jesus saying the specific words that we shouldn't "have an affair." Does that mean it's ok, then?
Deuteronomy 6:4 "Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:"
1 John 2:22-24
"Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also. Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father."
There's so much scriptural proof we run out of space to post them all. Deniers will still deny, just like it says in 1 John 2:22-24. Satan is real and is great at deceiving. Pray hard about learning the truth. The truth will set you free. John 8:32.
John 14:10 "Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works."
Isaiah 7:14 - Jesus's birth is prophesied and He is called Immanuel which means "God with us." Matthew 1:23-25 -fulfillment of that.
Is the definition of Christianity the belief and the following of Jesus or the belief in a triune God?
Does this doctrine give man the authority to override what scripture says about how we are saved?
Would God be behind a doctrine that is responsible for thousands plus thousands of Christian deaths?
Do we deny Jesus by saying He is God? 1 John 2:22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. (The Father AND the Son)
Does not scripture show a literal Father and Son and the Son does the will of the Father?
What do we do to the meaning of this scripture, do we make it not true, by saying Jesus is God? John.3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Is salvation dependent on the belief of this doctrine, if so why was it not taught in scripture?
Does the trinity doctrine confuse and convolute our understanding that is far from the simplicity of Christ and a complete reversal from all the foundations set in the Old Testament?
Is the trinity doctrine a burden placed on us like the Pharisees sect tried to do with circumcision as in Acts 15?
Every word of Jesus was of the Father, every will of Jesus was the will of the Father, Jesus was equal to God on this earth because He was the word of God manifested to do the will of the Father with all the authority of the Father. A word is not a word before it is spoken, and that word is who spoke it.

Respond: Believe, Repent, Confess, Accept Jesus as Lord and Savior
To be saved, we must believe that Jesus is Lord and believe that He died for our sins. This confession acknowledges before God that we are unable to attain righteousness on our own and that we accept His plan for our lives.
Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved. Amen! Acts 16:31
Yet to all who receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God. Book of John 1:12
[Dear God, I believe in you and that your Son, Jesus Christ, is Lord. I believe in His sacrifice for my sins and His resurrection from the dead. I repent and ask forgiveness for my sins and I'm deciding now to follow you. Please, come into my life through the gift of your Holy Spirit. It is in the Lord Jesus' name that I ask and receive, Amen.]
The Bible says doing these things with sincerity means YOU ARE A CHRISTIAN. (Follow Jesus) and you will have eternal life in heaven.
1 John 5:13
These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
Use caution in trusting your feelings, as feelings change. Stand on God's promises- they never change. If you backslide, pray a prayer to re-commit.

1 John 1:6-10, 1 John 2:1
Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
1 John 2:22
Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
1 John 4:3
And every spirit that confessenot that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
2 John 1:7
For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a Deceiver and an antichrist.
Names of Satan
23. Dragon
Satan is called the dragon.
And the great dragon was cast down, the old serpent, he that is called the Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world; he was cast down to the earth, and his angels were cast down with him ( Revelation 12:9).
The term dragon is associated with those who oppose God.
24. Old Serpent
He is also known as the old serpent.
And the great dragon was cast down, the old serpent, he that is called the Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world; he was cast down to the earth, and his angels were cast down with him ( Revelation 12:9).
This reminds us of the Garden of Eden when Satan came to Adam and Eve in the form of a serpent. It speaks of his cunning.
25. Deceiver Of The Whole World
This fallen angel deceives the unbelieving world.
And the great dragon was cast down, the old serpent, he that is called the Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world; he was cast down to the earth, and his angels were cast down with him ( Revelation 12:9).
Deception is what this being is all about - he is the master deceiver.
26. Accuser Of God's People
God's people are constantly accused by this evil
Then I heard a loud voice in heaven, proclaiming, "Now have come the salvation and the power and the king
I agree with sister Dianne. Ephesians 2:8. For by grace are ye saved ( through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:)
I would like to add a verse or two.
1 John 2:2. And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation ""to every one that believeth;"" to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
I suggest getting an understanding of Romans 5:1-21. Romans 6:1-23.
and James 2:14-26.
God bless
Wiles of the Devil.
THE GOSPEL IS WHAT SAVES!! That's where you start, spiritual growth comes afterward as you feed on the word, providing that the word you received is truth and you believe it. Your viewpoints should be shaped in this transaction. Spiritual fruit, unity, and gifts comes alone in the process. ALL WRAPPED IN LOVED. Unless you are a reprobate. 2 Corinthians 13:5.
THERE IS THE KEY!
1 JOHN 3:10. 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.
IF YOU DONT CHRIST IS NOT IN YOU!
1 Corinthians 3:23-24. And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.
And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.
KEEP IN MIND THIS POST IS TO EXAMINE OURSELVES. MARK THOSE WHO ARE AGAINST THE FAITH, AND NOT ASSIST SATAN IN HIS WILES. BY MEASURING THE LOVE BETWEEN ONEANOTHER.
1 John 2:19. They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, THAT THEY MIGHT BE MADE MANIFEST THAT THEY WERE NOT ALL OF US.
Some persecute directly, some indirectly, SOME BEFRIEND EVERY PERSECUTER COME ON THE SITE!
John 15:17-20. These things I command you, that ye love one another.
If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.
PERSECUTION
THIS IS WITHIN OUR MIDST!
BE CAREFUL OF WHO YOU GIVE GOD SPEED TO!
GOD BLESS
This by the Bible can not be confirmed, Daniel told when the Messiah would come Daniel 9:25, 483/476.4 years from the going forth to rebuild Jerusalem and the walls. They went forth around 446 BC minus 476.4 360-day years=29 AD. If you take in Luke 3 it was the 15 th year of Tiberius Caesar who came to be emperor 14 AD, which also puts it in 29 AD. Also, Pontius Pilate ruled from 26-36 A.D. The start of John the Baptist ministry.
Jesus went to 3 Passovers John 2:13, John 5:1, John 6:4 The fourth Passover He was crucified, John19:14. That would put 1080 days from the first Passover Jesus after he was baptized by John the Baptist. This leaves 180 days so, this would put the baptizing of Jesus in the month of Tehri, September- October our months. 40 days of temptation and then choosing the twelve will put them before the wedding in Cana of Galilee and the first Passover Jesus went after He was baptized by John the Baptist.
Jesus gave up the ghost at 3 PM the ninth hour on 14 th day of Nisan the 5 th day of the week. Jesus' ministry was 42 months or 1260 days. God placed Jesus at the exact day and month of the year the first Passover was done in Egypt. Jesus went into Jerusalem on the 10 th of Nisan the day the lambs were taken up and held until Passover.
Jesus was placed on the cross at 9 AM the same time the first Tamid lamb was sacrificed and put on the altar. All during that day, all the people's sin offerings were placed on the altar. Jesus gave up the ghost at 3 PM the same time the last Tamid lamb was placed on top of all the sin offerings for that day on the altar. The First and Last. Also, the time the priest started catching the blood of people's Passover lambs and pouring it on the altar.
If God caused just the things I listed to be done at the exact time. If God wanted these dates to match to the exact second, it would have been so. May you have a purpose for your question. All is possible through faith in Jesus Christ.

We ourselves find ourselves on the wrong side of a opinion or atleast have at one time. It's called growth.
The only barrier to the truth is to think you already has it! The Holyspirit didn't just equipped us with gifts, he equipped us with fruit. Something over looked!
But we are warned to examine fruit.
Matthew 7:15-16. Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
In so many ways I think we see a sifting of wheat.
At the beginning of the Coronavirus outbreak you seen a Gathering to the Lord but many has turned back! Reminds me of
1 John 2:19. They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us. We live in a Satan controlled world and he have his ministers as well!
PEOPLE LIKE RICHARD ESTRADA. is no threat! He might help manifest people like himself. The ones we have to mark is those who draw people away from truth. Not so much in having a different eschatology or certain belief. But beware of those who tries to lure you away by the flesh, Even using the bible most interesting topics, You see agreeing with your eschatology doesn't cause me to accept Christ. Have you noticed a thread with Love your neighbor or Salvation never last long. THE ABSENCE OF LOVE BRINGS CONVICTION!!
There's nothing wrong with Conviction!! Conviction brings repentance. But if you're not led by the Spirit of truth then there's no conviction and no repentance. That's what we have seen lately.
God bless you and all you do.
Because people think this is something you do, or you just say.
But it's something that you have no control of!! John is telling us it has already been done by the Holyspirit!
Notice the last four words doesn't say you SHOULD LOVE your brother also. IT SAYS YOU DO! OR IT'S DONE. THIS IS PERFORMED BY THE HOLYSPIRIT. ITS AGAPE.
1 John 4:21. And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God LOVE HIS BROTHER ALSO.
1 John 3:10. 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.
If this Love don't exist between two then maybe you're not brothers. Which implies you have separate Fathers.
Jude 1:4. For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
Jude 1:12. These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots
Jude 1:18-19. How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.
These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.
1 John 2:19. They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, THAT THEY MIGHT BE MADE MANIFEST THAT THEY WERE NOT ALL OF US.
Beware of woman and men who say they're Christian but join themselves with EVERYONE how is against truth.
John 14:6. Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Thanks Jesse for much on this lesson.
God bless.
About 1 Corinthians 13:v.6&
6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the Truth;
9 We know in part, and we prophesy in part.
10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
8 Whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away - Charity never faileth.
Charity mnifests itself where is manifest the Truth, Charity rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the Truth.
Every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil. Hebrews 5:v.12-13
And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming. If ye know that he is righteous,ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him. 1John 2:v.28-29
Part 2. Sold under sin.
Romans 7:14. For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.
I believe this old fallen nature has a source behind it. Spiritual wickedness, Children of darkness.
2 Corinthians 4:3-4. But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
John 3:19. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
I believe we're born Children of Adam and When we're Born again ( Born from above) we're Children of God.
Romans 5:19. For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
Note: To the Pharisees
John 8:44. Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. AND OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS IN THE FLESH DONT EXCEED THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF THE PHARISEES.
1 John 3:9-10. 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. ) THERE IS HOW WE IDENTIFY THEM.
1 John 2:11. But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.
This is why there is diverse beliefs we have seen recently, but did you notice only 2 sides, we see some join forces against the truth. because there is 2 sources behind the scene. Mathew 12:30.
Part 3 coming.
God bless.
16 These six things doth the LORD HATE: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
Proverbs 8:13 - The fear of the LORD is to HATE evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.
Proverbs 11:2 - When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom.
Proverbs 16:5 - Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.
Proverbs 16:18 - Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
Proverbs 26:12 - Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? there is more hope of a fool than of him.
Proverbs 27:2 - Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; a stranger, and not thine own lips.
Proverbs 29:23 - A man's pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit.
Jeremiah 9:23 - Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches:
Romans 12:16 - Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.
Galatians 6:3 - For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.
Philippians 2:3 - Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.
James 4:6 - But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
1 John 2:16 - For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the PRIDE of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. (Satan)
Jesus tells us in John 14:26 that the comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, or Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, number one, the provision: He will teach you all things. It is God's Spirit in His people that is teaching them.
In 1 John 2:27, John says but the anointing which you have received of Him abides in you (Literally Present Tense). And then he says that you need not that any man should teach you. Why? It's because they have already been taught, and they have the anointing of God living inside of them. What is interesting with this is that this is the Apostle John telling them that they do not need any man (Including himself) to teach them because they had God's Spirit in them to do that.
By the way, the word anoint in the Greek text is CHRIO, and that's the base word for CHRISTOS for Christ. When God's Spirit is in us and teaches us, once God has established us in the truth, we don't need people to come along and say "Hey, I've got a new revelation or teaching." Once we are grounded, not in what any man teaches us, but on what John teaches, what Paul teaches, and what Peter teaches, once we have been grounded by them, we have no need that anyone else come along and teach us.
Dimitri, please know that I am not saying that we should not listen to what others are saying, whether they be pastors or not. I'm just trying to tell you to be careful and search the scriptures to see if what this man is speaking, or any man for that matter, is the truth. We must be totally dependent upon God's Spirit to confirm any message being taught to see if it is true. I would also like to encourage you to look up the biblical qualifications of an apostle to see if this man meets the criteria. It is my understanding that after the Apostle John's passing, no other man met the criteria to be an apostle.

My Lord JESUS said: "Satan was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the Truth, because there is no Truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. John 8:v.44
I must say that her contact in heaven in accord your belief, it is only and only WITH THE MONSTRUOS red Dragon, having 7 heads, and 10 horns, and a TERRIBLE tail, that is that old serpent called the Devil and Satan. But now, he will be cast down to the earth, and no doubt she will never need to do her travel no more.
Know that no LIE is (or comes from) of the Truth. 1John 2:v.18
John 15:19
"If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you."
1 John 3:1
"Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not."
1 John 2:15
"Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him."
Remember the story of Joseph, how his brethren despised him for his virtue. (Coat of many colors - 2 Samuel 13:18)
1 John 3:13
"Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you."
Part 2
More scripture on Jesus first coming ( Luke 3:1-6) Tiberius Caesar was emperor from 14-37 A.D. Pontius Pilate ruled from 26-36 A.D. so the fifteenth year of Tiberius would have been 29-31 A.D. start of John the Baptist ministry. Jesus was baptized, then Jesus went into the wilderness for forty days, tempted by Satan. Then His ministry started. They put John B in jail and later beheaded him. Not long after, in John 2, Jesus was in Cana of Galilee at the wedding and after in John 2:13, the Passover was at hand. This would place it just before spring of 29-31 A.D. maybe a month before the Passover.
( Daniel 9:26), "after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off". The 7 weeks, 49/48.3 years that are not counted. This was when the restoration and repairing of the walls, streets, and gates of the city of Jerusalem by Ezra and Nehemiah ( Nehemiah 2:8-17; 4:17). Troublous times when their enemies tried to stop the building ( Nehemiah 4:7) the first 7 weeks, 49 years, or 48.3 prophetical years of the prophecy. So, the main word here is after. The Messiah (Jesus) is cut off 7+62=69+3.5 years= 479.5 prophetical years with 3.5 years to go to 490 years 365-day years or 483 prophetical years
The other half of 9:26 tells us the people (Roman army) of the prince (Titus) "that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary" 70 AD. Titus did not want to destroy the temple, he wanted to make it a Roman temple but the army (people) set it on fire and destroyed it.
( Daniel 9:27). Jesus was here 3.5 years confirming the covenant to the lost sheep of Israel. When Jesus was cut off (crucified) in the middle of the week, He caused the Levitical law sacrifices and oblations to cease, no more animal sacrifices would be accepted by God, Jesus said the worship of God will no longer be accepted at the temple ( John 4:19-24), and the veil rent in half, ( Matthew 23:31-38) covers the second half of verse 9:27.

John 2:9-10 would indicate that these men were drunk. The phrase in verse 10 "men have well drunk" means they were intoxicated. In other words, they bring out the good wine first, and then after everybody has been drinking for a few days, because the marriage feast could go for several days, if they should run out of the good wine, they would bring out the cheap stuff and nobody knows the difference because they are pretty well intoxicated by then.
But the question comes up a lot if this is fermented wine that he's talking about here? The word for wine always indicated the fruit from the vine. The custom in those days, because of the bad water, was to drink wine that was diluted with water. Sometimes it's as much as nine parts water to one part wine just to bring down the alcohol level. Their alcohol level in those days was much lower that what we have today. It's not the same as the wine that is sold today.
Some people ask the question, "Why did Jesus create wine so that people can get drunk?" Well, it doesn't say that He did. But they did say that it was the best wine that they had, the proof of the miracle!
1 John 2:15-17. Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
John 15:18-19. If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
John 17:14-16. I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.
They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
2 Corinthians 4:3-4. But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
2 Peter 3:10.
Sister Denise thank God for Jesus who will redeem us who believe in him and his work on the cross from the destruction that come upon all the Earth.
God bless.
(But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.)
1 John 2:1
(My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:)
1 Thessalonians 4:17
(Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.) Any time we need an uplifting, we should always go to the Word of God, that is where we will find peace, comfort, and the answer to everything that is important. Prayers for all.
You've shared some great thoughts & Scriptures there & indeed "the lust of the flesh, & the lust of the eyes & the pride of life" (1 John 2:16), is the standard for the majority, instead of doing "justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God" ( Micah 6:8).
As Jesus spoke to the religious leaders, "Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do", it is only natural that those without the God of Heaven will cleave to the god of this world ( 2 Corinthians 4:4) who holds the hearts of men in his grip. As Satan's singular desire was to "ascend above the heights of the clouds (and to) be like the most High" ( Isaiah 14:14), so it is also found in his children that they too would behave like gods believing that no God exists, bar themselves.
One can only imagine that if societal laws didn't exist (however weak & often mis-applied they might be) & without the presence of Christ's Church & the outworking of the Holy Spirit through her, what would be the extent of man's lusts & wickedness & how unrestrained his sins would be, that would speedily bring about another Noahic-type deluge. Yet God's next judgement will be by fire ( 2 Peter 3:7) as His Anger can no longer be withheld. May the life-changing, spirit-renewing Gospel continue to go out, pulling many out of the fiery deceptions & snares of the Devil ( Jude 23). Keep that holy fire burning, Sister.

Satan CORRUPTED the CHURCH OF ROME completely-the Antichrist developed itself-John Apostle denounced Satan's strategy- 1John 2:18-21.Paul Apostle,among others, was murdered.Around year 95 AD, after 65 years of JESUS's ascention,John Apostle had been exiled to the isle of Patmos.JESUS was worried with the 7 Churches of Asia that Satan tried to corrupt, for the Church of Rome was corrupted and fell in the hands of Satan.The Church of the LORD in Rome would be the eighth Church if it had not in the hands of Satan completely.Definitely or permanently, the Church of the Lord in Rome after being corrupted by the Devil became the cradle of Antichrist spiritually speaking- 1John 2:v.18-21.Two thousand years has passed, Satan perpetuated its religious power creating an universal and powerful religious and satanic system, a religious MONSTER with 7 heads, and 10 horns, and a name of blasphemy, the nations, with some exceptions, and their respective rulers are dominated or have connections with this satanic religious MONSTER.To perpetuate this satanic dominion Satan created the Papacy in the year 67 AD-Pope Linus- after had corrupted the former Church of the Lord in Rome, and the Church was named Catholic Church, later Roman Catholic Church.Since the beginning of this corrupted "Christian" church were elected 266 Popes and upon them the RCC rides until this current time-and this satanic religious system is called as The Beast of sea-which rules and guides the nations spiritually.Sea is waters, waters are peoples, and nations, and multitudes of all tongues,dominated by the Beast of sea.The Papacy and the Great Whore-the Roman Catholic Church-will be wounded to death from now on, day after day. Pope Francis must died soon and will be elected the last Pope, this elected last Pope will ruled the 1st half of the week 70th- Daniel 9:v.27. Rev.13:5-To happen this, must manifest first the Beast of earth,then there will be two Beast in the Earth.
Be in peace, you are welcome brother in Christ. See, my reply was according my zeal by the Word of GOD, as you know , the Word is GOD. Who loves the Word, loves GOD.
Yes, I surely repeat and place a lot of Scripture because it gives support of my end-time vision, I have not any other source except the Word of GOD to interpret the Word of GOD. Scriptures explain Scriptures.
Dear Juan Diaz, GOD is the Truth, so what matters is Truth, and the Truth is only one. We are speaking of revelations of Apocalypses' times, not speculations, or suppositions, or conjectures, or opinions, or imaginations. That said, I take the Bible, and read Rev. 13:v.1-10-THE BEAST OF SEA. HIS ANCIENT ROOTS: v.2- he is like unto a leopard(3)-Greece, and his feet were as the feet of a bear(2)-Medo-Persian, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion(1)-Babylon: These three peoples were swallowed by the Roman Empire- Daniel 7:v.2-7, and for this 4th kingdom there is not any animal because it is dreadful, strong exceedingly; and diverse from all the beasts before it; and it had ten horns. It was exactly in the dominion of the terrible 4th kingdom that GOD sent JESUS to preach the Gospel of GOD's kingdom, and after around 3 years of preachings JESUS was crucified by his own people. Antichrist was in the embryo yet.The powerful apostles of the LORD even in the absense of JESUS continued with great power the work that JESUS had started. Churches were developed in the world, Paul apostle worked hard, he ministered several churches, the church of Rome was one of them.
The Roman Empire was being shakened by the preaching of the Gospel of JESUS and it troubled the Roman Empire,dominated by the Devil.So Satan worked in the corruption of the Churches of the Lord, the Apostles did fight against Satan. Satan CORRUPTED the CHURCH OF ROME by entire-the Antichrist developed itself-John Apostle denounced Satan's strategy- 1John 2:v.18-21
