Bible Doctrine

The more I meditate upon all the scriptures have to say about God’s expectations and aspirations concerning a believer coupled with God’s PROVISIONS for His earthly sons and daughters, the more ludicrous becomes the argument that a redeemed human possessing God’s fantastically POWERFUL Holy Spirit must definitely still continue to sin.  Of course, most do not like to use that word “must”, preferring to say believers “will” continue to sin, not that they must sin, but that they definitely WILL sin.  And I agree that in most cases, including my own, this is definitely true, but I find that with passing decade of my walk with the Lord those instances of disobedience become less and less and further and further apart in time.

 One of the promised attributes, or blessings, of the coming Messiah was the assurance that “He will subdue our iniquities (sins)” (See Micah 7:19).  “Subdue” is translated from the Hebrew kabash (pronounced kaw-BASH’), meaning “to conquer, to subjugate.”  Not only would Christ FORGIVE our sins, He would CONQUER our sins.  Jesus did not die merely to pay the penalty for our sins, but “gave Himself for us that He might redeem us from ALL iniquity” (See Titus 2:14). 

 Peter wrote, “Be diligent that ye may be found of Him in peace, without spot (of sin), and blameless” (See 2 Peter 3:14).  Why be urged to accomplish the impossible?  Such verses are nonsense verses if through Christ sin cannot be conquered in the life of the fully surrendered believer.   Paul wrote, “Thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ” (I Corinthians 15:57).  Does God give us only a partial victory?  Is that all God intended?  When Jesus Christ died that humiliating and excruciatingly painful death on the cross did He know it was never intended to free us from our sins?  Then why did He say, “If the Son therefore shall make you  free (from sin), you shall be free indeed?”  (See John 8:36).  Why did He say, “Whosoever commits sin is the servant (slave) of sin?”  (See John 8:34).  Are YOU a slave of sin?  Do you think slaves of sin will have a seat in the coming kingdom of God??? 

 Was God mistaken in His assessment of Job when He pointed out to Satan that Job was morally perfect and avoided sin?  (See Job 1:1, 8).  If Job had sin in his life, why didn’t Satan challenge God’s observations and point out that sin?  Before arriving at that continuously faithful spiritual walk Job undoubtedly had sinned many times as “ALL have sinned,” but GOD SAYS Job came to achieve a walk of continued obedience. 

 Paul urges believers to “be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might” (See Ephesians 6:10).  Is our Lord’s power and might so weak that we can’t stop sinning for more than a few hours, or days, at a time?  Is the prayer, “Keep me from sinning” the one prayer God cannot or will not answer?  Who would dare argue that incest, homosexuality, or stealing cannot be abandoned! 

 Paul cautions that the word of God, its liberating POWER, effectively works only in those who believe.  (See I Thessalonians 2:13).  For those who do not believe God can, or desires to, free us from sin, there really is no freedom from sin’s power.  They do remain in bondage.  “The word preached did not profit them (the sinners in Israel), not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.  For we which have believed do enter into rest (from sin)” (See Hebrews 4:2-3).  We MUST believe God intends that we cease sinning and that He has the power to prevent our sinning.  If we do not believe that we will remain servants, or slaves, to sin.  God’s repeated COMMAND to be obeyed NOW, in this life, is “Be ye holy, for I am holy.”  (See I Peter 1:16).  Jesus’ repeated COMMAND to forgiven sinners was, “Go, AND SIN NO MORE.” (See John 5:14 and John 8:11).  It is either we believe the Bible, or we do not.  Keep sinning, or stop!!!  God help us all to understand.

WHICH IS STRONGER, GOD’S POWER OR YOUR FLESH?

“(We) are kept by the power of God through faith” (See I Peter 1:5). Do you have faith God’s mighty power can keep you from ALL sin this day? Remember He “is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us” (Ephesians 3:20). Do you have the HOLY Spirit’s power working in your or not? If you do, then the tempters power is broken! Finally you can say, “NO!” to every temptation, every lust, every sin!!! Many are alienated from the life of God, a life of continuous victory over sin because of the doctrines that foster spiritual defeat being taught from the pulpits across the land. Multitudes are told, “When God looks at you, believer, all He can see is the righteousness of Christ!” They are further told, “All your good deeds and good works are viewed as filthy rags in God’s sight!” Oh, they have scripture they are certain that supports their view, but they are perverted scriptures, scriptures ripped from the context in which they were written or uttered.

Paul urged the Ephesian congregation, “Sin not….neither give place to the devil” (See Ephesians 4:26-27). Each and every time a believer sins they have momentarily given place to the devil to soil their spotless garments and hold them under his sway. Then Paul goes on to say they have also grieved the Holy Spirit. (See verse 3, Ephesians 4). Do you really think the best God has in store for His faithful sons and daughters is a life that continually grieves the Holy Spirit and falls prey to Satan’s temptations day in and day out???!!

“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me!” (Philippians 4:13). Should there be a caveat, or qualification, tacked on to that statement, “I can do all things EXCEPT STOP SINNING through Christ who strengthens me?” “For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh, for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, BUT MIGHTY THROUGH GOD TO THE PULLING DOWN OF STRONG HOLDS, casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, AND BRINGING INTO CAPTIVITY EVERY THOUGHT TO THE OBEDIENCE OF CHRIST” (2 Corinthians 10:3-5). Yes, EVERY THOUGHT!

Jesus said, “That which comes out of the man, that defiles the man. For from within, out of the heart (the mind) of men, proceed EVIL THOUGHTS, adulteries, murders, thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness. All these evil things (i.e., thoughts) come from within and defile the man.” (See Mark 7:20-23). That is WHY we must allow our Lord, through the Holy Spirit’s power, to deliver us from every evil thought. If we do not, they will spiritually defile us, leaving us unfit for service to the Lord and hindering our prayers. And most usually this is not accomplished except by prayer and fasting and crying out to God for strength in the battle against the flesh! “Seek the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near. Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts…” (See Isaiah 55:6-7)

.”According to your faith be it unto you!” (Matthew 9:29). If you are convinced God cannot cleanse your thought life, your mind, or that He cannot or will not keep you from all sin, then He won’t. He can’t, because He only operates in the arena of faith, and you are sitting in the bleachers of the arena of doubt. The Lord doesn’t go there. We must step over to His square. He does not come over to ours. God help you to understand is my prayer.

“HATH GOD SAID?”

“Has God said?” Those are three of the most destructive words ever spoken on planet earth! With those three small words Satan got mother Eve to question the veracity and trustworthiness of God’s Word. Satan knows if he can get human beings to question the words of their Creator then the battle for humanity’s spiritual destruction is pretty much assured. Satan has been using that tactic since the dawn of time and surprisingly he uses it against believers as well as unbelievers!

How can a believer doubt God’s Word? After all he, or she, is a believer Believers believe, don’t they? Isn’t that why they are called believers? Many believers believe the biographical facts about Jesus while disbelieving much of what He said and taught. Many modernist believers have an uncanny way of discounting much of what Jesus said and taught. They will say, “Well, He was speaking only to the Jews when He said that.” Or, “He was speaking to that dispensation only, only to those who lived during that time frame.” Or, “Much of what Jesus said is not to be taken literally.” Or, “He was speaking only to the twelve apostles when He said that.” The cost of such a mindset cannot be calculated. How many believers have died prematurely because they spurned a promise of Jesus Christ and chose rather to listen to men, many of whom were rank disbelievers themselves! Believe a man with a medical degree before you believe Jesus Christ is the mindset of many. To whom are they then assigning infallibility when they do that, man or God?

Ignorance of God’s Word has caused disbelief in God’s Word to flourish among many Christian denominations. Many believers fail to realize that there are ironclad, unbreakable conditions that a believer must meet in order for their prayers to be heard and answered by God. Failing to meet these conditions, they fail to receive answers to their prayers. They then lose trust in God’s Word, believing the breakdown to be in God’s Word instead of in themselves.

Do yourself a supreme, immeasurable favor. Read the Word of God – a lot of it, not just a verse today and a verse tomorrow. Read an entire book of the Bible each day. Many such books, or epistles, or gospel accounts can be read in less than thirty minutes. Faith is generated in the human heart and mind via the reading, or hearing, of God’s Word. Do you want more faith – READ! You’ll probably quickly begin to discern why millions and millions of believers down through the centuries learned to trust God and trust their lives, both temporal and eternal, to the teachings and promises contained in the Word of God.

Paul quite clearly and emphatically states TWO EVENTS must occur before Jesus’ return: 1) There must be a great falling away from Christianity. (Many other texts clearly indicate the religion of Islam will predominate on the earth before Christ returns). And 2) The “man of sin” spoken of by Daniel and Jesus Himself will be unveiled and seen as such when he sets up his throne room in a yet to be rebuilt temple in Jerusalem! The believers in Thessalonica had misinterpreted what Paul had said in his first letter, or epistle, he had written to them. They thought Paul had said the Lord’s return was imminent and that He could appear at any moment. Paul then writes 2nd Thessalonians to clear up their confusion.

“Now we beseech you, brethren, by (or concerning) the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together to Him that you be not soon shaken in mind (alarmed). or be troubled, neither by spirit (some supposed prophetic utterance), nor by word (someone’s preaching)), nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ (His return) is at hand (about to occur). Let no man deceive you by any means for that day shall not come except 1) there come a falling away first (an abandoning of Christianity for Islam) and 2) that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition (spoken of in Daniel 11 and our Lord’s “Olivet” prophecy spoken of in Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21), who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped, so that he as God sits in the temple of God , showing himself that he is God. Remember you not that when I was with you I told you these things. And now you know what withholds (the Lord’s return) that He might be revealed in His time.” (See 2 Thessalonians 2:1-6). (NOTE: All comments in parentheses are those of the author of this study).

Paul is speaking as plainly as human language will allow, yet Satan’s blinding power is so profound that multiplied millions of professing Christians sincerely believe Jesus Christ could return at any moment, They will believe the fanciful fictional works of Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins, authors of the “Left Behind” series of books advertised and presented as works of fiction by Tyndale House Publishers. Go figure!

So, brethren, go ahead and set aside money for your children’s college education. Buy a burial plot you won’t need for several more decades. Although we cannot know the day or hour of Jesus’ return, we know it cannot happen today or tomorrow. Only when the Muslim Mosque of Omar is destroyed and the temple of God is erected on Mount Zion then, and only then, can we expect that our Lord’s return is at hand.

Although the Bible mentions the points of the compass north, south, east and west, the Bible never uses such terms as northwest, northeast, southwest or southeast. Therefore when Daniel speaks of the king (or ruler, or conqueror) from the north and the king from the south, the direction to which he refers could be northeast or northwest from Jerusalem (the place from which all such directions emanate), or southwest or southeast from Jerusalem. Hence, the king from the north could mean Rome, i.e., Roman Catholicism, or Moscow, the hotbed of atheism. Likewise, the king of the south could be Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Iran, or several other countries – ALL OF WHICH ARE ISLAMIC nations. When I say the focal point from which these directions are given is Jerusalem, it is because all the prophets that give such directions use Jerusalem as their point of reference even though they might be captives in Babylon when speaking of Israel’s enemies. Therefore, when Jeremiah or Ezekiel while captives in Babylon mention the enemy from the north, they do not mean north of Babylon, they mean north of Jerusalem! “Thus says the Lord God, ‘This is Jerusalem. I have set it in the midst (or center, the focal point) of the nations and countries that are round about her” (Ezekiel 5:5). And this verse does not merely mean nations that actually border Israel, but any nation north, south, east or west of Israel. And, like I mentioned, the Bible knows nothing about such precise directions as northwest, northeast, etc.

Personally, I believe the king of the north in Daniel 11 refers to Roman Catholicism and the king of the South refers to Islam. I have written before in other articles how I believe both Roman Catholicism and Islam are mentioned and spoken of in the Book of Revelation.

Roman Catholicism predates Islam by many centuries. Roman Catholicism learned to adapt and survive long before Mohammad arrived on the scene. Rome also learned long ago how to embrace various aspects of other religions, even rank pagan religions, in order to bolster her number of adherents as well as to survive. In the Middle Ages Rome was also more than willing to slaughter tens of thousands in order to assure her survival when threatened by Protestantism.

I have also pointed out in other articles how the bitter enemies Pilate and Herod “were made friends together” at the time of Jesus Christ’s arrest and crucifixion. (See Luke 23:12). Roman Catholicism and Islam are bitter enemies and have been so for centuries. This generation will probably be long gone before these two antagonistic religions join forces and form an unholy alliance, but happen it will in order to fulfill Daniel’s prophecies and the prophecies of John the apostle in the Book of Revelation.

I hope this helps in your study of the Book of Daniel.

Are the commandments of God still valid today? Can one possibly keep the Ten Commandments? The Lord’s Spirit has been bringing so many Bible texts back to my mind that I am in a quandary as to what to write about next. “For unto whom much is given, of him shall much be required” (Luke 12:48).

Jesus said, “One sows and another reaps.” I am not a reaper. I am a sower of the Word. I rarely see the results of my labors. The Lord’s reapers have the satisfaction of seeing God’s Word take effect in believers’ lives. I do not.

Over and over again during His earthly ministry, Jesus said, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.” In today’s lingo He would say, “I am going to tell it like it is and you can take it or leave it.” On another occasion Jesus said, “Let these sayings sink down into your ears,” or, as we might say, “Hear and ponder well what I say.” Many of Christ’s statements were the total opposite of what most commonly believed. That was true then. It is true yet today. Jesus said, “My brethren are these which hear the word of God, AND DO IT!” (See Luke 8:21). Becoming a member of the household of God goes far beyond just believing some facts about God and Jesus Christ. James warned, “But be ye DOERS of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves” (See James 1:22). Pastors and preachers do their congregations no service when they assure them, “All you gotta do is believe.” Jesus Himself said, “If you will enter into life, KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS!” He then went on to quote six of those commandments so His hearers would know which commandments He spoke of. (See Matthew 19:16-19). Those commandments, of course, were the Ten Commandments. Decades after the founding of the church and the establishment of the New Covenant, the apostle John wrote “here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus” (See Revelation 14:12). The two go hand-in-hand. True, genuine God-wrought faith inspires and enables one to keep God’s commandments – all of them.

And how does the Bible close? “Blessed are they that do His commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the (holy) city.” There are but seven verses of scripture left in your Bible after that statement is made. (See Revelation 22:14).  And to leave no doubt as to which commandments this Alpha and Omega meant, He added “For without (banned from the Holy City) are…whoremongers, and murderers, and idolators, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie!” (verse 15).  We had better make sure we have the right to reach forth our hand and take of the fruit of the tree of life and then enter into the Holy City.

“For by grace are you saved through faith….” Faith in what? Faith in Jesus Christ! Faith in what He said, believing what He said and then acting upon that belief.

Oh, and for those who say it is impossible to keep the Ten Commandments, read Luke 1, verses 5 and 6 as well as Genesis 26, verses 1 through 5. In short, READ YOUR BIBLE!

It is quite apparent that many professing Christians have no idea that salvation is comprised of two distinct segments, those being justification and sanctification.  Neither outweighs the other in importance or necessity.  No one will inherit eternal life without having been justified by the shed blood of Jesus Christ and no one will be included in the first resurrection without being sanctified by the Holy Spirit.  Scripture clearly declares “Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which NO MAN shall see the Lord” (Hebrews 12:14).  Many believers make no effort whatsoever to be at peace with all men, but instead are continually at odds with most others.  And instead of cultivating holiness in their daily lives they evidently view holy living as a lifestyle quite impossible to attain.  

The scriptures deal with the subject of sanctification in depth, assuring believers that “the Lord knows them that are His.  And let every one (no exceptions) that names the name of Christ depart from iniquity!” (See 2 Timothy 2:19).  That is not a mere suggestion.  It is an apostolic COMMAND!  Iniquity is anything that is counter to the teachings of Jesus Christ.  Those Christians who ignore their Lord will find that He, in turn, will ignore them.  He warned He would do just that: “Therefore it is come to pass that as he (God’s prophet Zechariah) cried, and they would not hear; so they cried, and I would not hear, says the Lord of hosts” (Zechariah 7:14).  God takes it personal when believers fail to heed the words of His prophets and apostles.  And when you turn a deaf ear to His Son you are treading upon the most dangerous ground a believer can ever stand on.

There are some very enlightening statements made in the 20th chapter of Revelation: “And I (John) saw thrones (in his vision), and they (the Lord’s army spoken of in John 19) sat upon them and, judgment was given unto them, and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshiped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands, and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.  But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished.  This is the first resurrection.  Blessed and holy is he that has part in the first resurrection on which the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.” (See Revelation 20:4-6).

“Every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labor….you are God’s building…But let every man take heed how he builds thereon….Every man’s work shall be made manifest , for the day (of the Lord) shall declare (or, reveal) it, because it shall be revealed by fire (as inferior work or superior work), and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is.  If any man’s work abide (the fire) which he has built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.  If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss, but he himself shall be saved, yet so as by fire” (See I Corinthians 3:8-15).  To be saved “yet so as by fire” indicates such believers will definitely not be “kings and priests” in the coming kingdom of God, nor will they be included in the resurrection of the “blessed and holy.”  Believers, who continue to give in to their fleshly lusts and passions, will pay a heavy, heavy price. Personally, I do not want to be saved “yet so as by fire.”

Believers, who are being sanctified by the Holy Spirit, “are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ…written..with the Spirit of the living God” (See 2 Corinthians 3:3).  True, God-wrought spiritual growth is as glaringly apparent as one’s physical growth.  A teenager is quite different in appearance than a toddler.  Thus, someone who has been in Christ for ten or twenty years should be remarkably different from a new convert.  The apostle Paul writes that the ministering of the Holy Spirit to a human being is glorious indeed.  (See 2 Corinthians 3:9).  He further states that the life of Jesus is to be made manifest in our body.  (See 2 Corinthians 4:10-11).  We are to “be made the righteousness of God in Him” (See 2 Corinthians 5:21). This speaks of true righteousness, not imputed righteousness.  God literally changes us from ungodly to godly, from faithless to men and women of faith, from uncaring to kind, from hateful to loving.  God says He “will be a Father unto you, and you shall be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.  Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God” (See 2 Corinthians 6:18-7:1).  Yes, let’s do that!

ONE LIFETIME! 

Yes, one lifetime. That’s what our Creator has given us in this present age. I remember when my mother spoke of an older brother’s death the day he died, saying, “They don’t come back.” She knew death was final. Oh, she believed in a resurrection alright. But she also knew that until that day arrived the dead sleep in the dust to be awakened no more until that summons from God someday to arise.

One lifetime. To some that is a few days, or a few weeks, or a few months. To countless others it is measured in years – a few or a great many. Still, it is but one lifetime. Billions have preceded us upon the world’s stage. Some played small parts, seemingly inconsequential roles. Others strode across time and left their mark in history written so large as to be remembered by the masses centuries, even millenniums after their passing.

I have no interest whatsoever in my name or face being remembered. Let them die with me for all I care. But I do want my words to be remembered. Our Creator opened my mind long ago to many truths forgotten or unknown by most. I have ever been mystified as to His blessing me with such enlightenment and understanding. He has even graciously blessed me with eighty-two plus years of life so far. My words have reached thousands around the world via my former website, my new website and my Facebook page (now removed). In reflecting upon my early decades, I marvel at what a change He has made in my life. And I trust my writings make a change for good in the lives of some of my readers. Judging from some of their comments, many have been enlightened, blessed and changed for the good, those comments coming from literally dozens and dozens of different nations around the world. I could wish for no greater legacy.

How do so many miss the clear, easy-to-understand language of the 12th verse of Romans 8: “Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, NOT to the flesh, to live after the flesh…” In other words, WE DON’T HAVE TO SIN! “No, in all these things we are MORE THAN CONQUERORS through Him that loved us” (verse 37). How can one call himself “MORE THAN A CONQUEROR” if he, or she, continues to sin every single day in thought, word or deed????

How does one miss the clear import of the words spoken by Christ, the easy-to-understand language of our Lord, as recorded in John Chapter 8: “Jesus answered them, Verily, verily (truthfully, truthfully) I (the one who CANNOT lie when making a promise) say unto you, “WHOSOEVER (believer or unbeliever) commits sin (continues to sin, practices sin, sins every day in thought, word or deed) IS THE SERVANT OF SIN (as sin enslaves – as many scriptures teach). And the servant (of sin) abides not in the house (the household , or family of God) forever, but the Son abides ever. If the Son therefore shall make you free (from sin), you shall be free indeed (truly free, totally free, free indeed)” (See John 8:34-36).

But doesn’t the apostle John clearly state: “If we (believers) say that we (believers) have no sin (that we are not sinning), we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us” (See I John 1:8). But, remember, it is this same John who wrote the words we have just read in the Gospel of John, chapter 8! Is John contradicting himself? Of course not! John’s statement in I John 1:8 must be considered in the context in which he made the statement. First, notice in verse 4 of that chapter John writes: “And these things write we unto you, THAT YOUR JOY MAY BE FULL.” How can a believer’s joy be FULL if he, or she, is continuing to sin every day in thought, word or deed? Are YOU filled with joy when you sin? Or is your joy instantly diminished if not utterly taken away? Then notice verse 6: “If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness (hence, sin, as when we walk in the light as He is in the light the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from all sin), we lie (a sin), and do not (walk in) the truth.” Now, in this context, consider verse 8: “If (when walking in darkness, sinning) we say that we have no sin (the Gnostic claim that God doesn’t see, or take note of, a believer’s sin), we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.” Then follows – IN THIS CONTEXT – verses 9 and 10: “If we confess our sins (and abandon them – see Proverbs 28:13), He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from ALL unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned (insisting God doesn’t see the believer’s sins) we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us..” Now, forget your chapter break and read the very next verse, verse 1 of chapter 2: “My little children, these things write I unto you, THAT YOU SIN NOT (THAT YOU STOP SINNING). And IF (yes, IF – not when, but IF) any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.”

Believers who sin and insist God doesn’t see the believer’s sin, that “it’s all under the blood, brother,” make God a liar as He states quite clearly over and over again that He does see the believer’s sin and counts it against him. Read Revelation 2 and 3 slowly and carefully. Jesus Christ with eyes as a flame of fire (Rev. 1:14), says to each of these churches: “I know your works…” or “I SEE YOUR SINS!” He also says, “I have somewhat against you.” Over and over again He commands them to “REPENT!” He WARNS “I will give unto every one of you (no exceptions) according to your works!” Those who think our Lord doesn’t see a believer’s sin so as to count it against him need to read two other chapters of the Bible quite slowly and carefully – I Corinthians 10 and 11.
