What do these verses have in common? I Corinthians 6:9-10 Galatians 5:19-21 Ephesians 5:3-5

  Many Pastors teach there flocks that God is not going to judge your sins because Christ is your righteousness and that God does not see your sin, but these verses do not agree with your pastors. This is straight forward and a warning to you, in 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 it reads: "Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived, neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God."  Not only is it a warning to those who claim to be Christians, but Paul warns that you can be deceive and think you are going to Heaven.
   Another example comes from Galatians 5:19-21, "Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like: of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God."
  And one more example, is from Ephesians 5:3-5, "But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints: neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks. For this you know, that no fornicator, unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God."
  It is only those who see themselves as filthy rags before a Holy God and pursue the Truth will ever find God, because He knows your heart and He is not mock and He only reveals Himself to those who desire Him above all else. Look at Matthew Chapter 5-7, only the doers not the hearers will inherit the kingdom of God. Wake up and see the Truth.

"Sin No More"

  As we examine the Word of God, there was something that leap out at me when I was reading scripture when I began to see the Truth of the Bible unlike what I was told in a church. You see the Church does not preach the Truth because they are blind and teach false doctrines that allows themselves to continue to live in sin. Let us look at John 5:1-15 as Jesus heals the man at the pool of Bethesda; why does Christ heal this man on the Sabbath because the religious leaders were obeying their rituals but had nothing to do with obeying God. Another words their rituals became a stumbling block for them to understand the Kingdom. Another factor that stands out is Verse 14, note these words are of Christ "See, you have been made well. Sin no more lest a worse thing come upon you." Interesting from the mouth of Christ he is saying to this gentlemen that you are capable (man) to no longer sin. That not even discuss in today church, why are you able to stop sinning? Because you have free will you are not born a sinner, which is taught by the Catholics, and the Protestants guess where they get this doctrine from it is not in the Bible, but was taught by Augustine who was a gnostic and he brought there teaching into the Catholic Church. This occur in the 4th century and the Church at first refuse this teaching but later they compromise and allow it in their midst. Many protestants don't know that Augustine is consider the Father of their Church which is where many doctrines come from plus Lutherans revere him too. Unfortunately, few in these denominations have any idea that he has brought in false doctrines.
   But there is another example in John 8:1-11, as we see that the scribes and Pharisees brought a woman caught in adultery in the act and they wanted to stone her as they talk to Christ. They were trying to test Him and see what He would do, So He made the comment "He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first." At this point He wrote something in the ground and they were convicted in their conscience left one by one until there was no one there except the woman. In verse 10, "Woman, where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you?"  Then in verse 11, "Neither do I condemn you; and sin no more." So the concept of Christ's teachings was that man has free will and he is not born a sinner (original sin) at the age of accountability (that is when a child is able to understand what is right and wrong) then he chooses to do good or bad. Note in scripture there are verses that give support that children are born innocent and that our souls come from God: Psalms 139:13-14, Isaiah 49:5, Ecc 7:29, Jeremiah 1:5, Ezekiel 28:15, Deut. 1:39, 2 Chr. 25:4. Note another false doctrine was introduced by Augustine it was called Infant Baptism because if children are born in sin which is transfer from your parents (sin is matter or flesh) then you must be baptize or you will go to hell.

Psalms 32:5 Humble and Repentant Heart before God.

In Psalms 32:5 It says "I acknowledged my sin to You, and my iniquity I have not hidden. I said, "I will confess my transgressions to the Lord," and You forgave the iniquity of my sin."   This is a recognition of the state that you are in and your heart is humble and that you understand that you have sinned against God and you are not hiding anything from God and that you deserve Hell. God sees our hearts and He knows if we are genuine and He is not fooled by half hearted repentance it must be a godly sorrow or else there will be no change in you because you will live just like you have in the past. Note most men are not willing to come to the light because they exposed themselves being in darkness and they are not willing to do this. it is the same with those who struggled with addictions they must first recognize that they have a problem and face it, the same way if you are going to be able to enter the narrow gate. Please examine what the Bible says about repentance Jonah chapter 3 and  2 Corinthians 7:9-11.

The Lukewarm Church

 In Revelation 3:15-18
   "I know your works, that you are neither cold or hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of my Mouth. Because you say, I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing, and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind and naked. I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see."
   These list of verses are dealing with those who claim to speak the Truth but are selling you a false gospel which will lead to judgment from God. As I was thinking today preachers are hirelings that is you are paying them good salaries to tell you what you want to hear and there is no truth what they are telling you. In Jude 4, "For certain men have crept in unnoticed, who long ago were marked out for this condemnation, ungodly men, who turn the grace of our God in to lewdness and deny the only Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ." As I look at scripture, I don't see Peter or Paul and James getting paid to preach the gospel, they didn't sell the gospel they told the the Truth. Everything has change since the early apostles the gospel has been compromise. The first thing we see in examining verse 15 is that Christ sees your works, which would mean that faith alone is a lie and it is the devil's faith. James warns us today in chapter two verses 18-22 "But someone will say, "You have faith and I have works." and I will show you my faith by my works. You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe and tremble! But do you want to know O foolish man, that faith without works is dead? Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Issac his son on the altar? Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made perfect." Anybody can say they have faith but it is true faith that acts and demonstrates that it is not dead because by doing you have real faith.
  As we continue He talks about hot and cold this speaks of someone who is indifferent or a double minded man and a double minded man is someone who produces good and bad fruit which is not according to someone who is a good tree because they produce good fruit all the time. They claim to be wealthy, but only in their own eyes they have wealth that the world knows of not the true spiritual wealth that God offers to his children. He speaks of those who claim to be wealthy and they are arrogant as to say I need nothing but in reality they are poor,blind, and naked and this demonstrates their heart condition that they think they know Him but they do not. He even gives them counsel by saying buy from Me the gold that has been refined in the fire so it is able to be obedient to God. He speaks of them as being naked and they do not realize that they are, again they are blind and they are in need of eye salve so that they can see the Truth about themselves and who God is. Again this is the state of the Church no matter if you are Reformed or Arminian in the Protestant denomination. The best thing for you to do is get out of the churches because they are preaching false doctrines and they will destroy your soul and you will end of in Hell.

We are born innocent not born in sin

  The Bible speaks of children that are born innocent and that they have a free will to choose what is right or wrong. Here are some verses that give support that we are born innocent: Ezekiel 28:15 "You were perfect in your ways from the day you were created, Till iniquity was found in you."  Ecclesiastes 7:29 "Truly, this only I have found: That God made man upright, But they have sought out many schemes."  Another verse is from Psalms 139:13-14 "For you formed my inward parts; You covered me  in my mother's womb. I will praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are your works, And that my soul knows very well." There are others such as Isaiah 49:5, Jeremiah 1:5, Deuteronomy 1:39,  2 Chronicles 25:4, Ezekiel 18:4, Ezekiel 18:20, and  Romans 9:11.  Our souls are from God so we were made perfect at birth and there is no way we need infant baptism because of this doctrine men (original sin) which states that man is not born innocent but yet God was perfect and created beings that were innocent until they came to the time to choose (free will) at a mature age to choose right or wrong.
