Mixing up a love for the world, and a love for God!
What type of ground are you?
Luke 8:4-15 Many different doctrines have been written concerning these passages of scripture, but what is the truth – that you might be saved?
Explaining away the revelations of God is Satan’s favorite pastime. It is intellectual and carnal, and is independent of the Holy Spirit, which is sin; and done by enemies of the cross!
This is why Jesus said it has been given unto you (spiritually) to understand, whereas others will not… And this “is engineered” purposely by God, in protecting his flock!
The “others” are those which do not have enlightenment spiritually to this passage; as either they have never seen Him or known him; or the particular heart of the one who would “add or take away from this text” has a heart which is anything but good ground, and is labeled as an anti-Christ by the Apostle John, who coined the phrase!
My point is that, many, many men in carnality use the scriptures to “bring men into themselves”, but they will not yield to the Holy Spirit of truth, who is Jesus Christ himself; as they have not a love for the truth, that they might be saved!
The “Church system” of today is infected by such men, who build institutions to teach their particular brand of heresies. Jesus Christ never intended this for HIS people, and the apostles “corrective” letters to the early brethren reflect this trend of moving independently of the Holy Spirit; who is Jesus Christ, the only truth of God, who is the ONLY mediator (spiritually) which a disciple must abide in, or be cut off and burnt! This pure truth of God, if you will, has been lost in many a sea of error, and natural understanding. Yet it can still be tapped into by those who love the Lord, who IS the only truth of God that the lost sheep, might be found!
Carnal denominationalism, attempts to explain away naturally – what I have written in the spirit – to make the truth of God, (only found by abiding in Christ, Jesus) more palatable to those, which would take the broad road; (which leads to spiritual death). And to the nominal, or “self righteous religious – Christian” who was never even elect of God to begin with! These two types of brethren, enjoy each other’s company, and “fellowship together” as they are both moving independently from the Lord in carnality; as they are both either spiritually dead, or dying!
The Bible is written to the actual Ecclesia, or elect of God – in particularly, the one who manifests that they are good ground, which Jesus spoke of; and NOT the others types of ground, who will embrace the “spirit” of error, which will deceive many!
Satan knows this principle full well, and continues to mobilize, and when he can, deploy his troops in amongst the sheep, to deceive and destroy their spiritual walk! Most commonly using the natural mind or (intellect) in understanding the scriptures, independent of God. They then often go and build institutions or temples to the Lord, just like Peter recommended to Jesus; prior to the day of Pentecost!
Luke 8:4-15 *ESV
The Parable of the Sower
4 And when a great crowd was gathering and people from town after town came to him, he said in a parable, 5 “A sower went out to sow his seed. And as he sowed, some fell along the path and was trampled underfoot, and the birds of the air devoured it. 6 And some fell on the rock, and as it grew up, it withered away, because it had no moisture.7 And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up with it and choked it. 8 And some fell into good soil and grew and yielded a hundredfold.” As he said these things, he called out, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
The Purpose of the Parables
9 And when his disciples asked him what this parable meant, 10 he said, “To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of God, but for others, they are in parables, so that ‘seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.’ *(the Gospel is not intended for everyone) 11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. *(Which is not the Bible; but rather the Holy Spirit) 12 The ones along the path are those who have heard; then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved. 13 And the ones on the rock are those who, when they hear the word, receive it with joy. But these have no root; they believe for a while, and in time of testing fall away. 14 And as for what fell among the thorns, they are those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by the cares and riches and pleasures of life, and their fruit does not mature. * (Babes in Christ) 15 As for that in the good soil, they are those who, hearing the word, hold it fast in an honest and good heart, and bear fruit with patience. *(The Narrow Way, which leads to life).
Attempts to explain this away from different viewpoints, independent of the Holy Spirit is described in, (unsound doctrine) *2 Timothy 4:3 – but rather is heresy, and of the spirit of error, which is anti-Christ, and no matter how exacting, (naturally) and to the letter it might be taught, if independent of the Holy Spirit – the Spirit of Truth.
Jesus is describing precisely what he intends to teach, which does not allow for interpretations, as found in Armenian, Calvinist, Universalists, or any other man orchestrated doctrines.
The truth of God, only found by abiding in Christ, is the spirit and in truth; that we might be saved. If you are moving independently of the Holy Spirit, you are in fact moving away from Christ, who is your only salvation unto spiritual life, (now) and into eternity!

*diamerismos (Greek) noun: “division, dissension” (Luke 12:51). Matthew (see Matthew 10:34) translates these words of Jesus as, “machaira,” or “sword,” which indicates “dissension.”
**schisma
(Greek) noun: “division, tear, dissension, schism” (John 7:43; 9:16;10:19).“Do not think that I (Jesus) came to bring peace on the earth;
I did not come to bring peace, but a sword…
Do you suppose that I (Jesus) came to grant peace on earth?
I tell you, no, but rather division*…division**…division**…division**.”
–Matthew 10:34; Luke 12:51; John 7:40-44; 9:16; 10:19-21 bold mine
(see Where Is This Jesus 1)
I did not come to bring peace, but a sword…
Do you suppose that I (Jesus) came to grant peace on earth?
I tell you, no, but rather division*…division**…division**…division**.”
–Matthew 10:34; Luke 12:51; John 7:40-44; 9:16; 10:19-21 bold mine
(see Where Is This Jesus 1)
That Jesus came to bring division upon the earth is among the clearest teachings in the Bible. “He who is not with Me, is against Me” (Luke 11:23). The big question is “Why?”
Why did Jesus come to bring division on the earth? Because of His commitment and desire that we be made free!
“It was for feedom that Christ set us free.”
–Galatians 5:1; see also, Isaiah 61:1
–Galatians 5:1; see also, Isaiah 61:1
And what does “freedom” have to do with “division?”
The source of all freedom is truth and Jesus IS the Truth.
To reject Jesus is to reject the freedom that He offers.
Thus, the world of bongage in which we live.
see John 8:32, 36; 14:6
To reject Jesus is to reject the freedom that He offers.
Thus, the world of bongage in which we live.
see John 8:32, 36; 14:6
By definition, truth is a divider. It divides that which is true from that which is not true. Thus, true representatives of Jesus will encounter the same kind of responses by the world that He, Himself endured.
NOTE: Sincere pastors and church leaders in the United States are KILLING BIBLICAL CHRISTIANITY by exchanging the truth of the Bible for a “unity and peace” with the very same world that crucified Jesus in the first place.

Old Men’s Dreams (Acts 2:)
The photograph is a depiction of “Jeremiah the prophet” by Daniel Murphy, and was copied from his website, with his permission. Please support this brother if you are able… @ http://www.expressionsbymurf.com/
ACTS 2:
16 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; [Joel 2:28-32]
17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
18 And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:
19 And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:
20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come:
21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
22 Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:
23 Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:
24 Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.
My dream as of 10/15/14 was a rare spiritually given one, which in my entire life; I have had about three now. In being a disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ, I do not write these truths which were revealed to me for my personal edification; to be looked upon by others for the sensationalism of them, or that I might be viewed as delusional by a non-believer. As with all things I post, this is about my personal relationship with my Lord. I try and post about firsthand experience, and not “learned up” or “contrived mystical experience”, which I believe is now common in the near death community or worse; are demonically derived experiences which can take the form, of a close counterfeit, to those given to God’s actual sons and daughters. Since Satan was once “the angel of light”, he has no problem with promoting his “dynamic light shows”, to confuse and deceive the elect, away from God and onto himself. My experience with my NDE was so simple, that most have shown little interest in it; as opposed to those who have described spectacular heavenly events; which may or may not have been of God. Please understand, it is not my place to judge (condemn) anyones experience. Yet it is my place, to discern by what spirit someone is of, and dismiss or embrace it as being of God. In short, it has been my experience that God does not normally “use the spectacular” to try and win or communicate with his children. He is simple, and non evasive to the soul; and one who is born again, must be quiet within their human spirit, to be able to discern his voice or presence within them; if and when He should choose to speak to those who are his.
This personality trait of my Lord is simply because he will not violate the free will; which he has freely given to all peoples. To do so would be contrary to who God is, he is not manipulative and or deceptive in nature. Now, with that being said; he will sometimes grace those whose hearts diligently seek him, with some types of spiritual experiences, simply because they are his children, and he wishes to encourage their faith in Him. If the experience in any way, shape or form detracts from drawling his children closer to him: I would venture to say that the experience is not of God, but rather is a distraction away from “a love of the truth of God” (Jesus Christ), so that “they” might be saved. I share to simply draw attention to my Lord, and how he works, for the edification of the brethren, who might be encouraged by my sharing the events of Christ, (the Holy Spirit) within me. It makes no difference to an actual child of God, if that experience is on this side of eternity, or the other.
If we are with him now, we will be with him when absent from our bodies! (2 COR. 5:6) If you cannot see him now working in your life, you are either very spiritually young; or you do not know him, and will not be any closer to him, after your death.
My dream…
The other night I awoke, after “briefly seeing” into the heavenlies.
The dream was a glimpse into a chamber, or what we would call a “board room of sorts”, today. It was filled with “white as snow, wise old council, having long curly beards” shoulder length hair, all in white robes, (at least the one I could see from the side did).
They were sitting at a long “wooden” table, (wood – the symbol of man) discussing the present day conditions upon the earth, and seemed to be planning just how they would proceed, with the Lord Jesus Christ, his people, and his angels, upon his return to the world.
That’s about it: however the wisdom, confidence and competence of these men, were unlike any natural “board of directors” which I have ever known. They were graced by the all knowing presence of God, and seemed to be discussing what would be the most effective means, in attacking evil head on!
I do not know how long into the future it will take for these events to transpire, and it took about three days, to take root in my natural understanding, concerning what I had seen.
It is like that with the spiritual things of God, and he gives us understanding only when we are able, and he is ready to show us; always within his time.
Most go out and try to “convert the world for Jesus”, but a disciple will simply remain still, until he is sent.

Walking in Christ or Church?
Published on Oct 5, 2014
How do you tell if you’re moving in Christ, or the flesh? If you are actually his; you will develop the ability to tell when God is moving in your life; (provided you actually love him enough) as you are his work and not that of men! LOVE NOT the world; which most people “who claim his name” love more than the truth – who is Christ in you, if you are being regenerated into his likeness. The only thing a disciple must learn to do is “be still”, listen and then move – but most “broad roaders” and “nominal Christians” will not: and they will be irritated by Christ in his actual disciples!

The Mother of Harlots: how do you see things?
The title of this post: “The Mother of Harlots: how do you see things?” is a rhetorical title. I didn’t write this post as a theological debate, for using the scriptures, for people to justify their doctrinal positions. I am addressing the spiritual condition in this post of those brethren, who move in power as an actual follower of Christ; in contrast with the “broad road or nominal Christian”, who does not, and uses their carnal or natural understanding to try and teach people into Christ, which cannot be accomplished, as salvation is God’s work alone.
I have learned a great deal of how to distinguish between actual brethren, who are disciples in the Lord, as opposed to those who claim his name; but do not move in the “SPIRIT OF TRUTH” who is Christ in us. Disciples of the Lord are instructed to be able to discern such spiritual truth, (1 John 4) and avoid those who of the “spirit of error” which is always found by not abiding in Christ… The following is how it appears, and is understood by an actual disciple of the Lord, when Bible is taught in the flesh. The gifting and calling of ministry, can only be given by God, to the man of God, who has a heart for “HIM above all else”, including their status within the world, and in particularly the world’s —
“Church System” – which is Babylon, and ( state orchestrated Christianity) : the Mother of Harlots, as found in Revelation 17: 9- 12 – who sits upon the beast was seven heads, seven mountains, the seven hills on which Rome stands; and seven kings, seven sorts of government.
Sharing one’s life in Christ is one thing; but listening to a Bible study, taught by one who doesn’t “know him” : only all about him, is like taking direction from a stranger, about someone in your family which you know; and is downright insulting!
Do you have to do a study about your father, whom you already know and walk with..? The answer is of course no… I sure don’t, but people who have never “seen him or known him” do.
The difference is purely spiritual, (test the spirits to see which ones are of God) and these types of spiritually directed academics; are like what the scribes and Pharisees did in Jesus’ time. These of academics are spiritually dead, and so they *can’t* understand, and are repelled by what the spiritual man in Christ is actually talking about! He is seen as no more than a loon, or a mental defective, from the position of human understanding.
The motivator for most of this religious activity; is because most professed Christians “think” they know the Lord God, and follow him; but in actuality they do not. The one who sins, has “neither seen him nor known him”: (as sin creates separation from God) is what the text is actually referring to. Hidden pride, religious, academic or otherwise, is also equated into this sin scenario, so don’t think it is just talking about the sins which is most visible to everyone.
These false brethren lay in wait, for a child of God, who knows and follow him in spirit, and in truth. Revelation 17 describes this false Church (Ecclesia) “the mother of harlots”, who is drunk on the (spiritual life) blood of the Saints! This is deadly serious and real stuff, and it would be easier to write me off as some sort of nut job; than to heed what I am attempting to put over. The scripture teaches most will not heed this type of warning, as most are a part of the Babylonian world, systematic theologies, which equate to Revelation 17, 18, 19.
The world has its own set of standards which they use to measure others; “psychological profiling” of the prophets of old, would have portrayed them as a bunch of nut jobs, because they could function in the spiritual realm, and seen by the natural mind as off the rails, even amongst their own people. This is why in predominant western cultures, people only feel safe in using the scriptures; and will not allow themselves to enter into the deeper work of being transformed into the image of Christ by the Holy Spirit, once they have been born again.
So, the Church of today has become merely a shell of what it once was, as brethren will not follow, nor move in obedience to his voice within them, if they have indeed started by being born again in the Lord. The natural man is also; only able to move in the futility of their natural minds, so this creates a bonding of sorts, between the unregenerate soul, and the actual child of God, who may have had some limited spiritual experiences, yet chose not to move forward in Christ.
They then become stagnant and will eventually die, from hardness of heart towards God. In other words, most will move in “lip service towards the Lord”, but will not follow him, or get to know him as they are instructed to do within the scriptures. Once saved always saved; is a broad roader’s doctrine, who will not be made conformable to Christ’s image, by the renewing of their minds. Such people, who may have started with Christ, are then handed over; to what they love more than him. This is the spirit of anti-Christ, an enemy of the cross of crucifixion, to the old man.
The Churchmen who has never been born again of the Holy Spirit, feels quite at home, and in their element with this type of broad roader, which Jesus warned his disciples about.These type 2 (broad road) and 3 (nominal) Christians, are the enemies of the cross which Paul spoke about; and these false brethren are gravely dangerous, to the actual disciple’s spiritual health!
This is why it is written: they had not a love for the truth, that they might be saved (in the end). These are the false brethren, which a disciple is told to turn away from. Having a form of Godliness, but not the power (authority) thereof. The reason for this, is that type of spiritual poisoning, will slowly kill the spiritual life, of an actual follower of the Lord Jesus Christ, by diverting them to another gospel. The true Gospel is only found by abiding in the vine; who is Christ himself, and is much, much, more than repeating some words, found within the Bible in pointing people towards salvation.

Luke 17: 22- 30
22) And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor followthem. 23) For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; 24) so shall also the Son of man be in his day. 25) But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation.26) And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. 27) They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.28) Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; 29) But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. 30) Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.

I normally do not reference allot of Bible verses when expressing myself, as I am not an academic, but rather a simple follower of Christ my Lord. I don’t go around referencing the scriptures in an attempt to justify myself before men. But in this post, I have decided to make an exception, not because I will change any one’s heart; but so the actual brethren might be encouraged. The Bible, which is written to the Children of God who know the light; (Christ) is normally written concerning spiritual things, it is written to edify the actual brethren, so is not just metaphorical or physical, with the exception of talking about God’s order within the world. Most recently, Satan has tried yet another one, of his “religious tactics” to confuse and divert the “would be” followers of Jesus, into darkness, using the scriptural texts. Satan is much more crafty and relevant to deceiving Christian than most would think, or that most would even choose to acknowledge. He is smarter than any PHD in the entire world, and uses his intellectual superiority to tell lies, and twists the truths of God, “which are only revealed to the mind in spirit and in truth”, and not in someone’s “doctrinal filing cabinet, within the natural understand”. So in contrast, particularly in the “Western world”, the Devil has had allot of practice deceiving the natural thought process, into molding it the way he chooses. These tactics will always appear counter intuitive ( you will know it is wrong) as it registers with the actual disciple. The reason is that intuition, is a function of the human spirit, and if the human spirit (which was cut off from God as a result of the fall) is being regenerated by the Holy Spirit; then the “spirit of lies” triggers an unconscious response, which is repelling to the Holy Spirit within the actual disciple. A young believer may not consciously be aware, of what is taking place spiritually within them, yet they will register being uncomfortable, to some degree, the one with the “Spirit of an ant-Christ” who will always oppose those, who are of “the right spirit” called the “Spirit of Truth”, or “Christ in you” . False brethren feel, and actually hate the Holy Spirit within another, rather than love him, like a disciple does! This is what Jesus is talking about, when he speaks about suffering his name’s sake. And you don’t have to say anything normally, just your presence will make an enemy of the cross uncomfortable, and most often they will try to justify themselves to you; even though you haven’t even opened your mouth. The earlier prophets suffered much the same rejection, even among their own people, as men hide from the light, because they are children of darkness. I learned while studying occult sciences for a short season, (while serving in street ministry) that the most powerful type of witchcraft, is “Hebrew Style” witchcraft, as it uses the scriptural texts (Twisted of Course); to gain power over other forms of Sorcery. Why? Because the closer one is to the “truth of God”, without actually following him; the closer they are to subverting spiritual powers, which are meant to destroy God’s people, order, and his will. This scriptural warfare is sort of like “military intelligence on a spiritual level”, is the best way I can frame it to others. This is the same reason that using the Bible, independent of the Holy Spirit, is so dangerous to the actual disciple. Yet another mistake commonly made, is to mistake emotionalism, with the outpourings of the Holy Spirit… But that is for another topic. Most “Christians” people, who have actually met Jesus Christ through new birth, have struggled and fought with the world, to learn how to move in his spirit – (the Holy Spirit) who is “Christ himself”. They have had to fight harder in the faith than they would have normally had to; if they had actual men of God leading them, in positions of leadership. I am not talking about “Church men” or even “Bible experts”, but rather “an actual Spiritual Elder” in the Lord. Today these types of “Spiritual Men” are extremely rare, and if you could find one, keep it to yourself; lest other false brethren try to muscle in, and overtake the fellowship of the actual sheep for power and position. This has been the case since 50AD, and enemies of the cross, anti-Christs and other type wolves in a variety of flavors, are wall to wall today, because the natural man, has attempted to take control of God’s work; in using the Bible, Bible Colleges, Churches, (institutions) systematic theology. If you are here to try and “sharp shoot my Bible knowledge”; please “make like a tree, and leave”… I have experienced years of this type of opposition from broad roaders, and nominal Christians, who practice attacking others using the scriptures. They love to cite their knowledge of Bible facts: to build themselves up, and destroy other weaker brothers or sisters.
John 14:26
But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
John 16:13
“But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come.
1 Corinthians 2:10
But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, and the deep things of God.
Here are the verses, which show we are living in the days of delusion…
Romans 1:26-27 (NAS)
(Degradation)
26 For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural,
: 27) and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error. 28) And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper,
2 Thessalonians 2: 1-12
(The Holy Spirit’s restraint is gone)
1) Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, 2) That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. 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, showing 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.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:12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
2 Timothy 3:1-12
1) This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2) For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3) Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4) Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5) Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 6) For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 7) Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 8) Now, as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. 9) But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was. 10) But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience, 11) Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me. 12) Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
2 Timothy 4:3-4
(False Brethren)
3) For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, 4) and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths.
Revelations 17: 1-11
(One world Order & The false Church; Satan)
1) And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will show unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: 2) With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. 3) So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet colored beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. 4) And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet color, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: 5) And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. 6) And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration. 7) And the angel said unto me, wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns. 8) The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. 9) And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. 10) And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. 11) And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.

CHEAP BELIEVISM
This post is a commentary I’ve decided to write, as a small example of how we are living in the age of delusion.
I have chosen my desktop Bible verse software; out of many examples in the marketplace of supposed ministries, to focus on the “free” desktop version provided from Vladimir Rybant Ministries (a Russian) as I look at it every day.
This may not be deliberate, yet it is disturbing to me, here is an example of the glitch… >Hebrews 11:06 for he that cometh to God must believe that he is… “Well, Even Satan believes that God is”… Here is the passage in its totality:
Hebrews 11:06 (KJV) 6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
This is the Asbury Bible Commentary on the same verse referencing the Gospel of John:
God Is Righteous—Fellowship as Doing Righteousness (2:29-4:6)
In 2:29 John declares his thesis; the subsequent verses serve as an exposition of its implications. A new metaphor is introduced here in the words born of him. It is not new, however, to the Johannine world of thought, since it is a major motif in Jesus’ conversation with Nicodemus (Jn 3). Here it appears to be used primarily to introduce the concept of sonship since the following passages emphasize the necessity of children bearing the family likeness. This is a truth that runs throughout Scripture. God’s people are to manifest his character in their daily lives; here that character is defined as righteousness.
Is it just that this version takes up too much data to put in it’s totality, or is it something more sinister? I don’t know, yet it makes the scriptural texts completely useless, for the brother or sister who seeks a deeper truth, as represented in this passage of the Bible. I am not trying to single out anyone, nor any ministry work, but be advised, deception and delusion apart from a love of the truth that you might be saved, seems to be everywhere, and in every sect of the religion today; this is not just doctrinal battling on a natural level, but in fact is spiritual or supernatural in nature! Just like 2 Thessalonians 2, said would happen.
These passages in their totality, are all speaking about having a “love for the truth”; who is Christ, made manifest to his people. This point is not made noticeable in my desktop version, and castrates the verse into “CHEAP BELIEVISM”. Since there is a major online Christian site, (which I used to do articles for) who seems to challenging the idea, that CHEAP BELIEVISM is somehow uprooting the Sovereignty of God; sadly I must take the time to defend my words and position from these academics.
So, I am not dismissing the doctrine that true conversion and sanctification is of God, and God alone – yet what I am saying is that YOU must have a love for the truth that you might be saved, and enter into the Kingdom, now before you die. I am well aware of what the 5 points of Calvinism teach, and for the most part this is entirely sound doctrine. However, the scripture must be read in contexts, and its totality, and not be read dismissively, or (cherry picking) just because someone reads what they don’t want to see… A DISCIPLE MUST ENTER IN THE NARROW WAY, IN “FOLLOWING” CHRIST!
I would even take this concept one step further; and that is to say, that if you have “no love for the truth”, you will not receive it, and you will be given over by God, to what you love more than the truth; who is Christ Jesus! Jesus said to ABIDE IN HIM, and are likened to the Virgins and their lamps, who are the Bride of Christ! This is serious, serious business, and modern scribes and Pharisees of today have watered down the truth, to keep themselves in a comfortable position within the world’s religious communities… In my humble opinion, this is what systematized Church and theology, has become today, as men love their positions and status in the world (love not the world, Jesus said), more than serving the Lord in totality, with all their heart and being. So, why does such venom exist today within systematic theologies? The answer is Pride; and because the (Carnal) or Natural Man hates; and wars, with those who are spiritual; and of the Lord. It has always been this way since Christ and the Apostles walked on earth, and prior to that, the prophets were always rejected! The truth of God has always been found in the minority of the brethren, out of all those who claim to be the Lord’s disciples.
So, how deceptive is this war to the actual brethren? Matthew 24: 24 for there shall arise false Christ’s, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Or Mark 13:22 for false Christ’s and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect. NOTICE: the texts reads if it were possible, even the elect would be deceived, as salvation is a work God starts alone, independent of men. And it is because of Christ, the elect have the CHANCE to become the Sons and Daughters of God. The Apostle Paul himself said, that he had to strive to enter, lest he be a castaway (meaning disqualified) from the finish. Paul’s words, not mine. He also spoke of being an enemy of the cross, and about false brethren sneaking in. The Apostle John spoke about those who started with Christ, but took the broad road, and became anti- Christ’s. These people are like “wall to wall carpet today”, simply because they will not walk in the truth, who is Jesus Christ in Spirit and Truth!
I suggest prayerfully reading, 2 Thessalonians 2: 10-12 as an example –
2 Thessalonians 2:10 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: 12 that they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
