⁣James clearly shows us that even the devil Himself believes in God, and that Jesus is the Son of God. He has more "faith" than some people in the world. But do you think he'll go to heaven? Obviously not, so why do you think that same faith "that Jesus is the Son of God" will get YOU into heaven? The difference is we NEED to obey Jesus in order to get to heaven?

Some (maybe many) fight against God so much that he literally gives them over to a debased mind. That is He literally stop trying to help them until they change themselves and are open to hearing from Him again. It's in hitting rock bottom that actually bring people back to God, so giving people over to this debased mind is the most loving thing He can do.

Jesus said when we are blessed for following Him, we are blessed. But bare in mind we're only blessed when we ARE following Him. Hitler was persecuted, but that doesn't make him blessed, well same goes for anyone. You can't jsut be persecuted, you have to actually be right, you have to be preaching the gospel, or living it for that matter, in order to be blessed for your persecution. Another question is just how much persecution are we willing to endure for Jesus? Are we willing to go to the cross with him, or are we seeds planted or rocky soil, where we give up once a little persecution comes?

Who would have thought that sharing is one of the most simple yet most fundamental concepts to the kingdom of heaven and a better world for everyone. The world is run and being destroyed by greed, and the simple solution is to share. If you have excess food, clothes, or anything, why wouldn't you give it to someone who is in need? Jesus commanded this when He said, "Sell what you have and give it to the poor. and You cannot be my disciple unless you forsake all that you own."

Water baptism was a Jewish tradition. Jesus Himself never baptized anyone with water. In fact Paul himself admits that God didn't send him to baptize anyone but instead to preach the gospel. Because it's in hearing and obeying the gospel in which we are baptized by the Holy Spirit.

Can you see how being dunked in water is meaningless?

Many people take this verse and think it means that God is their wish maker. However, they ignore all the other verses that say "If you ask according to God's will He will give it to you." or "If you prayer for selfish things God will not hear your prayers."

As always people only hear what they want to hear.

⁣Many theologians today claim that "christian" and "disciple" are two different things. But, in reality the term "christian" didn't even exist until decades after Christ was resurrected. Does this mean His followers weren't Christian? Of course not. But pastors everywhere have people doing mental gymnastics so they can talk them out of actually following Jesus.

The Old Testament law is full of "laws" that may have made sense to do in the time it was written, which is why the rules were put there to begin with. But not with advancements in technology medicine etc. most of those old rules are pointless now. Are you open enough to see that what really matters is not if we tear down our houses or eat pork, but what comes out of our hearts, what we say and what we do, and what we would do if we knew we could get away with it?

When we are truly following God and seeking His will, nothing will be impossible. Where God guides, He provides. Where He leads, He meets the needs. Seek God's Kingdom first and God will do miracles for you.

Many people treat God like a wishmaker. They think He's there to satisfy their greed and sinful desires for a bigger house new car and other luxuries, all at the expense of the truly blessed in the world, the poor. And when their prayers don't get answered they lose faith and turn away from God (or they just work harder at making money and claim God made it all happen for them when really it was the devil!)

⁣Don't be deceived by the lying signs and wonders by the false Christs and false prophets. Jesus warned us about this for a reason! Study and practice the teachings of Jesus before it's too late and the Antichrist fools you! Here on this channel we're trying to train people to be REAL disciples of Christ not just fans...

We control our emotions and if we are content or not. If our necessities are met then we should be content. That is, all we need is food and clothing. If we have those we should be thankful God has provided them for us. Are you ready for true contentment?

Jesus did say "Sell all that you own and give to the poor." and "You cannot be a christian unless you forsake all that you own" and even "If you do not hate your family you are not worthy of me" (Luke 12:33 and Luke 14:33 Luke 14:26)
But, He also said whenever we do this He will give us 100 fold houses and brothers and sister etc. in this life AND in eternal life. Will you obey Him on these hard teachings?

In Revelation John describes what he sees as Babylon. His description has striking similarities to the US. And God tells us to leave America/Babylon and to not partake in her evil greed in order to not suffer in the wrath God will lay upon it. Are you prepared to leave?

Did you know Moses aloud people to do certain things that God and Jesus did not agree with? When asked about divorce Jesus said, "Moses aloud you to do that for the hardness of your hearts, BUT from the BEGINNING IT WAS NOT SO." This means God never wanted people to divorce and Jesus restored and fulfilled God's true will and commanded us again to never divorce and re-marry.

Inspired does not mean infallible. And inspired does not mean God breathed. People will use this verse in order to put other parts of the bible on the same level as Jesus so that when Solomon says "get rich and amass wealth" they can ignore when Jesus said, "blessed are the poor, sell your possessions and give to the poor, forsake all you own or you can't be Christian, and you can't WORK for both God and money."
Do you believe Jesus really is the supreme Son of God or do you think He's just another guy you can ignore and give false praise to?

You can call Jesus 'Lord', "accept" him as your Savior, and ask Him into your heart and still go to hell. Billions of people do this and totally neglect everything Jesus ever said. We should do these things, but sincerely, that is we with a broken and contrite heart seeking, hungering, and thirsting, to do what ever our Lord tells us to do.
Anything short of this and all the 'Lord, Lord' talk is as a good as
blasphemy.

⁣Many people try to use this verse as proof that pharmaceutical companies are practicing sorcery. But could it be just another another mistranslation?

The truth is "pharmakia" was a word used for both medical drugs as well as sorcery.
Then English speakers picked it up as pharamcy to use again for medical terminology not to refer to doctors as witches.

Jesus said, "call no man Father, Master, or Teacher." He gave a very specific reason why we should not refer to anyone in the world these titles of respect. Are you willingly giving reverence to man that should be reserved only for God? If so ask yourself why...

⁣Why did Jesus say to love our enemies? What does it really mean to love your enemies? Does it mean we should kill them? Does it mean we should hurt anyone who tries to hurt us? Or does Jesus make all things possible? Do you trust God to provide a way out of a situation without violence? What about martyrdom? Are you prepared to lay your life down for Jesus the way He laid his life down for the whole world?

Jesus taught us how to resolve conflict with one another. Surprise it doesn't involve fighting! In fact it's very simple communication and wanting to understand where each other are coming from. But He does command us to call out sin in one another, and we will naturally do that if we care for one another, not out of self righteousness but out of love.

"Let no man separate what God has joined together." Divorce is sin. If we are truly christian we should be able to make marriage work.

⁣False teachers bring in heresies that will destroy your soul. And they'll do it just to make some money of you!
We'll know false teachers by their fruit. Most of these false teachers are rich, and being rich is not a good thing.
Jesus said "Woe to the rich", blessed are the poor.

There are fake scientists who are only motivated by money and lie in reports etc. But there are also anti science people who are just as fake and lie just as much in the info they put out for their own agenda as well. We need true discernment in order to not be led astray by either one of these people.

Just as the devil comes appearing as an angel of light, wolves come in sheep's clothing. We have to use discernment in order to tell who is good and who is bad. Jesus tells us to judge (people's actions) justly. But how do we make these "just judgements"? We need to base them on the teachings of Jesus, the things Jesus taught in the four gospels. If study,practice, and live by the teachings of Jesus, we will be able to discern the wolves from the sheep...
