I rightfully do not endorse Christians trying to make money of the gospel, asking for money or any of the adds above, or the Bibles, books, tapes listed here for sale too.. Jesus said as we have freely received so we are freely to give.. Hirelings in their greed don't. http://groups.msn.com/AFOLLOWEROFCHRIST/advrt.msnw
 


God's purpose for the earthly creation of all mankind 


God's purpose for the earthly creation of all mankind  from the beginning was to have a people who, like Abraham, would believe him and that he could have fellowship with here on earth, not just in heaven, persons with whom he can communicate with, talk with even by his words..
 
(Psa 119:72 KJV)  The law of thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver.
 
(Psa 119:103 KJV)  How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
 
(Psa 119:104 KJV)  Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way.
 
(Psa 119:105 KJV)  NUN. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
 
(Psa 119:130 KJV)  The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.
 
(1 Sam 15:24 KJV)  And Saul said unto Samuel, I have sinned: for I have transgressed the commandment of the LORD, and thy words: because I feared the people, and obeyed their voice.
 
(Mat 23:37 KJV)  O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
 
(Psa 119:139 KJV)  My zeal hath consumed me, because mine enemies have forgotten thy words.
 
(Jer 15:16 KJV)  Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts. 17   I sat not in the assembly of the mockers, nor rejoiced; 
 
 Heb. 12:22-24. "But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect."
 
The reason also that so many JEWS, and professing Christians do not have the faith of God or faith that overcomes the world is because their faith is mainly  standing in their own wisdom and  wisdom of men rather than in God's words and the power of God. They have personally not learned the value of God's words or the value of proclaiming forth God's word
 
Even today there is a false religious earthly Jerusalem, the false church,  that itself does not make it to Heaven cause it rebels against God, His words,  and there is a Heavenly true Jerusalem that follows after God's word, God. "Beyond doubt, earthly Jerusalem, Israel, Zion, Jacob and other references are types that point to the true or spiritual counterpart. For example, you have earthly Jerusalem and heavenly Jerusalem in Gal. 4:25-26. Both are religious but one brings men into bondage and the other sets men free." Each one in the bondage churches tends to read into the scriptures wrongfully the doctrines and traditions of their particular group. Their denominational glasses blot out anything that does not harmonize with what they want to believe. The veil over their heart when the scriptures are read is just as real as the veil was over the hearts of the Jewish people when Moses was read. II Cor. 3:12-16. People are actually locked in to their religious beliefs. This is also why we can't reach most of them. Only those whom God sovereignly disturbs in their comfortable religious nests will ever consider anything else. 

In spite of this fact , the natural Jew still makes his boast in being of the seed of Abraham. The carnal Christian still makes a false boast of professing to be a true Christian as well.  This same fact was a constant source of friction and debate between Jesus and the Jews. The reason they hated him so vehemently was because he knew their condition and exposed their religious hypocrisy. John 3:20. Matt. 23:13-39. Being the natural seed of Abraham or any human being doesn't mean a thing.   Eph. 2:14-22,   "For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;" "And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:"    "For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father." "Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;" "And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;" "In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:" "In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit." Gal. 3:26-29. "For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.  In John 8:37-39 Jesus said to the Jews, "I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you. I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father."  He says the same thing to the Christains who do not abide in his words.

 God does not save men apart from the word. Rom. 10:17 says, "So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God."

Jesus said, "It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life." John 6:63.

I personally am  no longer surprised that many of the churches do not openly oppose gays, but it is also same reasons many of them also do not oppose Divorce that God hates, basically many of the Christians they personally and their churches they still really do not follow the Bible. (Mat 22:14 KJV)  For many are called, but few are chosen.

(Zec 1:6 KJV)  But my words and my statutes, which I commanded my servants the prophets, did they not take hold of your fathers?
 
(Jer 15:16 KJV)  Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts.
 
(Psa 119:57 KJV)  Thou art my portion, O LORD: I have said that I would keep thy words.
 
(Job 33:8 KJV)  Surely thou hast spoken in mine hearing, and I have heard the voice of thy words, saying, 9  I am clean without transgression, I am innocent; neither is there iniquity in me.
 
(Jer 1:17 KJV)  Thou therefore gird up thy loins, and arise, and speak unto them all that I command thee: be not dismayed at their faces, lest I confound thee before them.
 
 (1 Cor 2:4 KJV)  And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: 5  That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
 
(Neh 8:12 KJV)  And all the people went their way to eat, and to drink, and to send portions, and to make great mirth, because they had understood the words that were declared unto them.
 
God also still does not save any man and woman  without using His anointed men with His ministries in the word  nor without the Holy Spirit to convict them
 
 (Ezek 3:17 KJV)  Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.18   When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.19  Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.

The Ethiopian eunuch himself could not be saved apart from the ministry of Philip. Acts 8:1-39. 

The D.D.'s, L.L.D.'s and Jewish theologians by the score no doubt were present at this gathering. Despite all of their knowledge and religious training, they couldn't tell the eunuch how to be saved. He also had the scriptures and was reading them, but he still had to have Philip tell him how to be saved.

Saul of Tarsus, who later became the Apostle Paul, could not be fully saved apart from the ministry of Ananias. Acts 9:1-22. He, Saul too, was already a very learned and religiously zealous man well versed in the Old Testament too.

  Cornelius the centurion Cornelius was a "devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God always."  Acts 10:1-48.   who did everything he could to find God, but he too had to have a minister of the word.  

All of these commendable things were meaningless without God faith by his word and his servants.  Heb. 11:6 says, "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."

Even though Cornelius did all these things in this quest for salvation and God actually sent an angel to him, the angel couldn't tell him how to be saved. He still had to have a ministry of faith. In this particular case the apostle Peter was the man God chose to preach the gospel to Cornelius and his household.

(Isa 52:7 KJV)  How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!

God's method of salvation has still and always will be to use his own called preachers to preach the gospel to every human creature and next only he that believeth shall be saved. Salvation always is still a personal acceptance, and individual experience, not national, racial, political or otherwise.
 
Christ's next coming will be deliverance for the saints and destruction of the earth by fire. Jesus is also already reigning now, not from some future earthly throne, but from a heavenly throne at the right hand of the Father. Except for his work as our intercessor and great high priest at the right hand of God, Jesus and his earthly sojourn is forever ended, His work on earth was Finished, for him as well.
 
Rom. 8:34. When Jesus said "it is finished" and he bowed his head and gave up the ghost on the cross, his work was finished. John 19:30.  Heb. 10:12-13 says, "But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; from henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool." According to this scripture he has forever sat down at the right hand of the Father and will remain there until his enemies are made his footstool. He not only is reigning now but he will continue to reign till all enemies are put under his feet including death itself. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. I Cor. 15:25-26.
 
It is his called servants who are next finishing the job of reaching all nations.
 
(Eph 4:11 KJV)  And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;12  For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
 
The True Jew, Israel today and forever areall of  those Jews and Gentiles who believed God in reality. And there is a great difference in believing about God and believing in God. Rom. 4:3 says, "...Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness." Needless to say, all true Israel shall be saved. The "all" Israel of Rom. 11:26 is not natural Israel but spiritual Israel. It is the very small remnant of true Israelites within the nation as a whole. Isa. 1:9. Rom. 9:27, 11:5. The true Jew in the sight of God has never been the natural Jew. Rom. 2:28-29 says, "For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God." This same principle applies to professing Gentile believers. If we knew the truth, we would be shocked at the very small remnant of professing Christians who are truly born again. The professing Christian church today occupies the same apostate level the Jews did at the first coming of Christ. The last soul that responds to the gospel call before Jesus comes will be saved exactly like the first one was saved. The church dispensation began with Apostle Peter saying, "...repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

"For the promise is unto you, and to your children and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call." Acts 2:38-39.

When the last soul answers the gospel call, the dispensation of the fullness of times will be over. Jew and Gentile will be brought together in one in Christ Jesus. Eph. 1:10.

Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh." Matt. 24:44.        
 
"And no matter how dynamic or charismatic a human personality might be, that does not qualify him to preach the gospel. That in itself does not give him a ministry in the word. Natural attributes are no substitute for the gift of Christ.   Paul said, "And no man taketh this honor unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron." Heb. 5:4.  Perhaps the greatest hindrance to the cause of Christ past, present and future is those who take this honor upon themselves and presumptuously undertake to instruct men in the things of God. Because of a shortage of priests, the Roman Catholic Church is advertising for young men who will surrender their lives to the church for this noble cause. This advertising effort has the sanction and blessings of the Pope upon it. I personally believe we would be better off if ninety-nine percent of all ministers, priests and preachers would resign and get themselves a job digging ditches. Most of the professional ministries are simply a product of their religious system. They are not voices but echoes of the system that hatched them.  The reason they continue to preach the doctrines and traditions of their particular group is because that is all they know and they are afraid to look beyond the confines of their denominational walls (for they are hirelings worried abotu their pensions form their organizations) . Peer pressure is also a great factor in keeping them in bondage. John 12:42-44. They are actually afraid because they have been brainwashed to think of everything outside their group as heresy. Such is the condition of most religious groups. They are in prison and don't know it. This is what Jesus meant when he said, "...if therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness! Matt. 6:23." Even most of their  preachers are deceived about what is actually taking place. This is why Jesus will come as a thief in the night. This is also why the ten virgins are slumbering and sleeping. "
 
(Rev 18:4 KJV)  And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.5   For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.6  Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.7  How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.8   Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.

Every cult is the result of some human being moving apart from the headship of Jesus Christ.  Converts from this type of ministry may have an intellectual grasp of some things but that still is not personally saving faith that brings salvation. Their hearts still have not been changed.. God changes hearts. Paul speaks of those who believe in vain. (1 Cor 15:2 KJV)  By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3   For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4  And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: 

(Rev 18:9 KJV)  And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,

The idea also  that people can be saved any  way  others than through the means ordained of God is still absolutely false.
 
True Israel has never been cast away. God's answer to those who believe this is found in Rom. 11:1-5. "I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. "God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying, "Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.

 It is not a matter of who our biological mother, father is but who our spiritual father is. Gal. 3:7-9 says, "Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed. So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham."

(John 3:16 KJV)  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. 17  For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18  He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 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. 20  For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21  But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

 It is also a falsehood that the Nation of  Israel has been temporarily abandoned but will be regathered and restored to the land of their inheritance without them individually, accepting personally Jesus Christ as their Lord and savior. Despite the plain teaching of the New Testament that "there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek" some they still make a false difference between Jew and Gentile.  In numbers, natural Israel was compared to the sand of the sea; yet only a remnant would be saved according to (Rom 9:27 KJV) " Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved:" because they were not all Israel which were called Israel.   Ironically that applies to many so called professing Christians as well. even if they are Bretheren, Baptist, Pentecostal, Catholic or any other denomination.

  (Rom 9:6 KJV)  Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel: 7   Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.8  That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed. 

 

(2 Pet 3:10 KJV)  But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. 11  Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, 12  Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? 13  Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. 14  Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless. 15  And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; 16  As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. 17  Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness. 18  But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.

(1 Th 4:16 KJV)  For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 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. 18  Wherefore comfort one another with these words. 5:1  But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. 2  For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. 3  For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. 4  But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. 5  Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. 6  Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. 7  For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.  8  But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation. 9  For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, 10  Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. 11  Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do. 12  And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you; 13  And to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake. And be at peace among yourselves.
 

(Rev 21:2 KJV)  And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3  And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. 4  And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. 5  And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. 6  And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. 7  He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. 8  But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and  whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. 9  And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will show thee the bride, the Lamb's wife. 10  And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, 11  Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal; 12  And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:

Unless you also do understand this  all you clearly will likley  be out of God's will and His heaven.

We  need to rightfully interpret the word of truth .. all of us, preachers too

God Bless you.

(Rev 19:10 KJV)  And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.1 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
