Christianity as a whole .. or should i say Religion as a whole is polluted....With the imaginations of men. or should i say the doctrins of men... from the time of the early church until today men have chosen to Hold the truth in unrighteousness' for 1260 years the scripture was chained to the pulpit of the Catholic church... then Martin Luther realized the vanity of there motives and wrote his thesis and nailed them to the door of a pagan religion. But im getting to far ahead .. After 70 AD the true church began to adopt many different ideas and surmising's (YOU CAN TAKE THE PEOPLE OUT OF EGYPT ) But its very hard to get Egypt out of the people. Martin Luther realized that the just shall live by faith , and that faith was not in the church but in the son of God Jesus....This was and still is unacceptable to the powers of Organized Religion Preaching the Resurrection is truth but very wrong in the eyes of them that choose to maintain there Power and Position .

Read Foxs Book of Martyrs ,,, one day that book will be banned , for it Exposs the spirit of Paganism .

Every Denomination that has held to or has adopted the same doctrines as there mother is of the same spirit

Carnality will never manifest the true Nature of God or his son... in fact it will do everything it can to destroy it .

It is only by accepting the true doctrine of Jesus christ that one can receive eternal life.

As faith without works is dead not only should we say with our mouth that Jesus is lord but we must do the will of God as Jesus did the will of his father who sent him...put our faith into action bearing light/witness of our persuation so others be pursuaded....2Timothy 2:6 the husband man that lanoureth must be first partaker of the fruits.

Good clear scriptural response. The scripture speaks for itself and is crystal clear in so many places and on so many subjects.

Chris's comment on 2021-01-26 14:34:16:

"you won't see God with his son standing next to him".

Luke 22:69; Hebrews 1:13; Hebrews 8:1; Hebrews 10:12; Hebrews 12:2; Acts 7:56; Romans 8:34; 1 Peter 3:22; etc.

Gerry Lindsay's comment on 2021-01-26 08:56:13:

I noticed that this scripture posted here in I John5;7 is wrong. In the King James version it should say 7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. This means that these three are one, not agree in one. You could say there is nothing wrong because all three manifestations agree which may be true but this isn't the message this scripture is trying to convey. This scripture has nothing to do with whether the three agree. It is showing us that all three manifestations are of one God, meaning should you get to heaven one day you won't see God with his son standing next to him and perhaps a dove upon the throne sitting there. If we believe we can change scriptures to support our own Trinitarian beliefs by editing holy scriptures we are very extreme danger of not being able to enter heaven.

Revelation 22:18-19

I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues which are written in this book; and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his part from the tree of life and from the holy city, which are written in this book.

To STANJETT

There is only one way to respond to your 'twisted' comments.

Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve (Matthew 4:10; Luke 4:8).

Our message remains the same: Ye must repent.

The Word of God is God (John 1:1) and is not of any private interpretation (2 Peter 1:20).

It is the key principle of all the teachings of Jesus Christ and the axiom (basis) of the Word of God and a prerequisite and primary requirement for the salvation of mankind. It actually means the changing of spirits - to turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan unto God (Acts 26:18).

For a better understanding and the 'spiritual truth' of what it means to repent, and learn how and by whom mankind has been deceived (Rev. 12:9) and what people must do to be reunited with the true and living God, we invite you to seek Him according to the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive (Matthew 7:7; John 14:17).

You need not that any man teach you (Isaiah 54:13; 6:45; 1 John 2:27), as mankind follows after an image of a false god and a false Christ (Matthew 24:24; Mark 13:22; Gal. 4:8; 2 Cor. 11:13-15; Rev. 12:9).

It is only by revelation of God that people will come to know the true Christ (Daniel 12:4,9; Amos 3:7; Matthew 16:17; Luke 2:26; Romans 16:25; 1 Cor. 2:10; Gal. 1:16; Eph. 3:3,5; Rev. 1:1), and only then will you be able to overcome the spirit of this world (1 John 5:4; Rev. 3:21) and learn what 'True Repentance' means, and how this whole world has been deceived (Rev. 12:9). It should also be remembered that it is a narrow way that leadeth unto 'Life', and few there be that find it (Matthew 7:14).

LUKE 15:10. LIKEWISE, I SAY UNTO YOU, THERE IS JOY IN THE PRESENCE OF THE ANGELS OF GOD OVER ONE SINNER THAT REPENTETH.

Great that you have come to the Lord at only 8. Most kids are not held accountable until they are 12.

Mishael's comment on 2020-09-19 09:34:59:

Taven my brother rededicate his life to Jesus last night.

That and your testimony has made me very happy. I'm praying that in you the Lord would raise "a man after God's own heart."

Talk to God. He's always listening.

stanjett's comment on 2020-09-19 01:14:29:

Great. Let no one tell you different.

Taven's comment on 2020-09-18 21:08:43:

We should believe in God and no matter what happens, God will always be in your heart. I am only 8 years old and I have been saved and baptized.

princemmaraeme's comment on 2020-08-05 04:58:08:

for those who believe it works just believe in your self it will work

Frank Dyck's comment on 2015-04-27 07:34:52:

there is no much to say about 1 John 5:5, the scripture it self says it all, if we have faith that Jesus is the Son of Jehovah God we will overcome all the things that Satan puts in our way, it is NOT only believing in Jesus as our saviour, it is believing that Jesus is the Son of God the almighty Jehovah!!!

Pastor Roland Enearu's comment on 2014-01-12 23:23:09:

Only the the teaching and practice of Jesus principles that helpful, useful and powerful to all to overcome the world standard. if only we believe on Him.
