THE WORLD LIKE CRETIANS, ARE LIARS, AND INHUMAN, PROFITING FROM IT.

Titus 1:12, King James Version states: "One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies." CRETE, is one of the largest island of the Mediterranean, bounding the Aegean Sea on the South. Mount Ida in Crete was famous in Greek legend as the birthplace of Zeus. CRETE currently is called CANDIA. ONE OF THEMSELVES, EVEN A PROPHET OF THEIR OWN, their own philosopher for the Greeks esteemed men of learnt characters; not prophet of God.  This PROPHET was Epimenides, who was born around 600 BC.,at Gnossus, in Crete, and was reckoned by many the seventh wise man of Greece, instead of Periander, to whom that honour was by them denied. Many fabulous things are related of this poet, which are not proper to be noticed here. He died about 538 BC. When St. Paul calls him a PROPHET OF THEIR OWN, he only intimates that he was, by the Cretans, reputed a PROPHET. And, according to Plutarch, (in Solone), the Cretans paid him divine honors after his death. Diogenes Laertius mentions some of his prophecies: beholding the fort of Munichia, which guarded the port of Athens, he cried out: "O ignorant men! if they but knew what slaughters this fort shall occasion, they would pull it down with their teeth!" This prophecy was fulfilled several years after, when the king, Antipater, put a garrison in this very fort, to keep the Athenians in subjection. See Diog. Laert., lib. i. p. 73. Plato, De Legibus, lib. ii., says that, on the Athenians expressing great fear of the Persians, Epimenides encouraged them by saying "that they should not come before ten years, and that they should return after having suffered great disasters." This prediction was supposed to have been fulfilled in the defeat of the Persians in the battles of Salamis and Marathon. He predicted to the Lacedemonians and Cretans the captivity to which they should one day be reduced by the Arcadians. This took place under Euricrates, king of Crete, and Archidamus, king of Lacedemon; vide Diog. Laert., lib. i. p. 74, edit. Meibom. It was in consequence of these prophecies, whether true or false, fable, that his countrymen esteemed him a prophet more than philosopher; that he was termed Greek ανηρ αθειος, ANER ATHEIOS, a divine man, by Plato; and that Cicero, De Divin., lib. i., says he was FUTURA PRAESCIENS, ET VATICINANS PER FUROREM: "He knew future events, and prophesied under a divine influence." These things are sufficient to justify the epithet of prophet, given him here by St. Paul. It may also be remarked that VATES and POETA, prophet and poet, were synonymous terms among the Romans. THE CRETIANS ARE ALWAYS LIARS - The words quoted here by the apostle Paul are,  from a work of Epimenides, now no longer extant, entitled in Greek Περι χρησμων, PERI CHRESMON· Concerning Oracles. The words form a hexameter verse: - Κρητες αει ψευσται, κακα θηρια, γαστερες αργαι, KRETES AEI PSEUSTAI, KAKA THERIA GASTERES ARGAI. The Cretans are always liars; destructive wild beasts; sluggish gluttons. That the CRETIANS were reputed to be egregious liars, several of the ancients declare; insomuch that Greek Κρητιζειν, KRETIZEIN, to act like a CRETIANS, signifies to lie; and χρησθαι Κρητισμῳ, CHRESTHAI KRETISMO to deceive. The other Greeks reputed them liars, because they said that among them was the sepulchre of Jupiter, who was the highest object of the Greek and Roman worship. By telling this truth, which all others would have to pass for a lie, the Cretans showed that the object of their highest admiration was only a dead man. EVIL BEASTS - Ferocious and destructive in their manners. Rude, savage, cunning and greedy. SLOW BELLIES - Addicted to voluptuousness, idleness, and gluttony; sluggish or hoggish men. Indolent through pampering their stomach. This is exactly what is happening in this world which is technically CRETE. We have politicians. They deceive in order to get votes. Once they get into office, they deceive they are the choices of God. They only satisfy their selfish interests. We have leaders of denominations, religions, who deceive they are servants of God. Once they have converts, they milk them dry, having posh homes, private jets, record labels, book copyrights, and many much accumulated wealth. These denominational pastors are enemies of Jesus Christ destined to hell, Romans 16:17-18; Philippians 3:17-19. Children are brought up in lies. Education is deceptions. Media is deceptions. People had cook and crook ways of survival. People are enlarging their stomachs, bellies, like pregnant women by becoming parasites on the less fortunate, the poor. They don't want to work and live by honest means. They are reproach after reproach, have scandals after scandals. They are crafty and cruel. They have no human sympathy, and lying, falsehood is the way they invade humanity. God as the Supreme Ruler of both heaven and earth, has put a knife on the throat of these idle gluttonous people, Proverbs 23:2, which John the Baptist, Matthew 3:10; and Jesus Christ, Luke 13:6-9, explained as axe laid on unfruitful trees to cut them down. Most people in the world are sick, spending their fortune in medicine because they are CRETIANS.

CORPORATE SIN! THE UNJUST MANAGER, CEO, MD.,WHO EXCELS IN HIS PERFORMANCE CONTRACT, WINNING TRUST OF THE COMPANY OWNER, BUT TURNED HELL MATERIAL.

TAKE SERIOUS TIME TO READ TO THE END. The message I bring here is not mine, neither my personal intellect/imaginations, but simply just explaining what Jesus Christ exactly taught his disciples. I completely beg to disagree with hypocrites deceiving themselves and the world, plus their charlatans who had twisted this Christ's teaching to support the idea that money obtained by fraud can be used to advance God's kingdom on earth. The text is Luke 16:1-13, King James Version Bible. Verse 1. "And he said also unto his disciples, There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods." AND HE, Jesus Christ himself, not me as Israel Laban, his mere servant. SAID... UNTO HIS DISCIPLES, taught his believers who include us. THERE WAS A CERTAIN RICH MAN, a business tycoon, owner of group of companies, WHICH HAD A STEWARD, Greek Οικονομος, OIKONOMOS, from οικος, OIKOS, a house, or οικια, OIKIA, a family, and νεμω, MENO, I administer; a Chief Executive Officer, CEO, Managing Director, MD, who superintends all concerns of the companies, and report to the owner, having the products of the field, equipments, business transactions, decisions, manufacturing generally, and so on, put into his hands for this very purpose. THE SAME WAS ACCUSED OF HIM. Information was brought to the company owner who was his boss. This information was not gossip, allegations, for this Chief Executive Officer, Managing Director offered no defence against it. WASTED HIS GOODS. Had been profuse and profligate; and had embezzled, squandered his master's substance. This was criminal conduct, not neglect, neither ignorance of management. This man was committing fraud for selfish enrichment. Verse 2. "And he called him, and said unto him, How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship; for thou mayest be no longer steward." AND HE CALLED HIM, the company owner called the Chief Executive Officer, Managing Director face to face over the wicked conduct, issue. GIVE AN ACCOUNT OF THY STEWARDSHIP, produce thy books of receipts and disbursements, that I may see whether the accusation against thee be true or false. The original may be translated, GIVE UP THE MANAGEMENT, Greek τον λογον, TON LOGON, OF THE STEWARDSHIP. Verse 3. "Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord taketh away from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; to beg I am ashamed." THE STEWARD, that is the CEO, the MD. WHAT SHALL I DO? This man loved boardroom decisions, lucrative lifestyle, and lucrative salary given him by the company owner. FOR THE LORD TAKETH AWAY. The lord, Greek KURIOS, is the company owner, his employer, and not Jesus Christ. Taking the management job from THE STEWARD was depriving, taking life out of him. I CANNOT DIG - The CEO, MD, could not submit to become a common day-labourer, which was both a severe and base employment: TO BEG I AM ASHAMED. And as these were the only honest ways left him to procure a morsel of bread, survival and he would not submit to either, he found he must continue the system of KNAVERY, in order to provide for his idleness and luxury, or else starve. WOE TO THE MAN WHO GETS HIS BREAD IN THIS WAY! The curse of God must be on his head, and on his heart; in his basket, and in his store, fat bank accounts. He will forever remain client, as patient to hospitals, spending much on his treatment without success. Verse 4. "I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses." Realizing that him being fired is inevitable, the CEO, MD, had a plan to find support for his lucrative lifestyle. He focused on the way to make his former, company clients willing to offer him hospitality. THEY MAY RECEIVE ME - That is, the debtors and tenants, who paid their debts and rents, not in money, but in kind; such as wheat, oil, and other produce of their lands. Verse 5. "So he called every one of his lord's debtors unto him, and said unto the first, How much owest thou unto my lord?" HE CALLED the company clients. There are four explanations regarding the conduct of this CEO, MD: (a) He dropped the price enough to ingratiate himself with the clients; (b) He removed the interests charged; (c) He removed commission on the transaction, and; (d) He reduced the debts. Verse 6. "And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty." A HUNDRED MEASURES OF OIL -Greek 'Ἑκατον βατους, HEKATON BATOUS, A hundred BATHS. The Hebrew בת BATH was the largest measure of capacity among Israelites, except the HOMER, of which it was the tenth part: see Ezekiel 45:11, 14. It is equal to the EPHAH, i.e. to SEVEN GALLONS AND A HALF of our measure. TAKE THY BILL - THY ACCOMPT, account - Greek το γραμμα, TO GRAMMA. The writing in which the debt was specified, together with the obligation to pay so much, at such and such times. This appears to have been in the hand-writing of the debtor, and signed by the steward, the CEO, MD: and this precluded imposition on each part. To prevent all appearance of forgery in this case, he is desired to write it over again, and to cancel the old engagement. In carrying on a running account with a tradesman, it is common among the Hindus for the buyer to receive from the hands of the seller a daily account of the things received; and according to this account, written on a slip of paper, and which remains in the hands of the buyer, the person is paid. This is exactly what is currently called INVOICE. Verse 7. "Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said, An hundred measures of wheat. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and write fourscore." A hundred measures of wheat -Greek Ἑκατον κορους, HEKATON KOROUS, A HUNDRED CORS. Greek Κορος, KOROS, from the Hebrew כר COR, was the largest measure of capacity among the Hebrews, whether for solids or liquids. As the BATH was equal to the EPHAH, so the COR was equal to the HOMER. It contained about seventy-five gallons and five pints English. Verse 8. "And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light." THE LORD COMMENDED - Viz. the master, company owner of this unjust steward, CEO, MD. He spoke highly of the address and cunning of his iniquitous servant. He had, on his own principles, made a very prudent provision for his support; but his master no more approved of his conduct in this, than he did in his wasting his substance before. This CEO, MD excels in his performance contract by fraud, and his boss without the knowledge of this, had his confidence won. THE CHILDREN OF THIS WORLD - Such as mind worldly things only, without regarding God or their souls. A phrase which is used to designate the children of Lucifer, Satan, John 8:44. CHILDREN OF LIGHT - Such as are illuminated by the Holy Spirit of God, believers in Jesus Christ, and regard worldly things only as far as they may subserve the great purposes of their salvation, and become the instruments of good to others. But ordinarily the former evidence more carefulness and prudence, in providing for the support and comfort of this life, than the latter do in providing for another world. CHILDREN OF THIS WORLD ARE IN THEIR GENERATION WISER THAT THE CHILDREN OF LIGHT is a way of expressing, saying that the children of the devil, in their pursuit of wealth, money are smartly cunning, fraudsters, like Satan their father than believers in Jesus Christ. Verse 9. "And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations." I SAY UNTO YOU. This is Jesus Christ speaking. MAKE TO YOURSELVES FRIEND. To make a friend is to have the same spirit, compassionate, companion relation, indicating affection whether natural or unnatural according to the Greeks. THE MAMMON OF UNRIGHTEOUSNESS - Greek Μαμωνα της αδικιας, MAMONA TES ADIKIAS- literally, the MAMMON, or RICHES, OF INJUSTICE. Riches PROMISE MUCH, and PERFORM NOTHING: they excite HOPE and CONFIDENCE, and DECEIVE both: in making a man DEPEND on them for HAPPINESS, they rob him of the salvation of God and of eternal glory. For these reasons, they are represented as UNJUST and DECEITFUL. To insinuate that, if a man have acquired riches by unjust means, he is to sanctify them, and provide himself a passport to the kingdom of God, by giving them to the poor, or donating it as tithes or offerings to denominations, is a most horrid and blasphemous perversion of our Lord's words. God's kingdom cannot be advance by fraud, lies or deceptions. Ill gotten gain must be restored to the proper owners: if they are dead, then to their successors. WHEN YE FAIL - That is, when ye DIE. The Greek Text, Septuagint, LXX, use the word εκλειπειν, EKLEIPEIN, in this very sense, Jer 42:17, 22. So does Josephus, the Jewish historian (in his book Complete Works of Josephus) War, chap. iv. 1, 9. THEY MAY RECEIVE YOU. The people having the same spirit of fraud like yourself, your friends. INTO EVERLASTING INHABITATIONS, the place meant for you, your own place like Judas Iscariot, Acts 1:25. This place is hell, not heaven, where fellow fraudsters, crafty CEOs, MDs will welcome you to join them in the wailing and gnashing of teeth. The expression seems to be a Hebraism: - THEY MAY RECEIVE YOU, YE SHALL BE RECEIVED; i.e. hell shall admit you. He who abuses what belongs to his Maker has no reason to hope for eternal felicity. Verses 10,11. "He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much. If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?" HE THAT IS FAITHFUL IN THAT WHICH IS LEAST,... - He who has the genuine principles of fidelity in him will make a point of conscience of carefully attending to even the smallest things; and it is by habituating himself to act uprightly in little things that he acquires the gracious habit of acting with propriety fidelity, honor, and conscience, in matters of the greatest concern. On the contrary, he who does not act uprightly in small matters will seldom feel himself bound to pay much attention to the dictates of honor and conscience, in cases of high importance. Can we reasonably expect that a man who is continually falling by little things has power to resist temptations to great evils? Verse 12. "And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give you that which is your own?" THAT WHICH IS ANOTHER MAN'S - Or rather ANOTHER'S, Greek τῳ αλλοτριω, TO ALLOTRIO. That is, worldly riches, called another's: 1. Because they belong to God, and he has not designed that they should be any man's portion. 2. Because they are continually changing their possessors, being in the way of commerce, and in providence going from one to another. This property of worldly goods is often referred to by both sacred and profane writers. See a fine passage in Horace, Sat. l. ii. s. 2. v. 129. NAM PROPRIAE TELLURIS herumHERUM NATURA NEQUE ILLUM, NEC ME, NEC QUEMQUAM STATUIT. Nature will no perpetual heir assign, Nor make the farm his property, or mine. Francis And the following in one of our own poets: - "Who steals my purse steals TRASH; 'tis SOMETHING, NOTHING; 'Twas MINE, 'tis HIS, and has been slave to THOUSANDS." THAT WHICH IS YOUR OWN? - Grace and glory, which God has particularly designed for you; which are the only proper satisfying portion for the soul, and which no man can enjoy in their plenitude, unless he be faithful to the first small motions and influences of the Divine Spirit. Verse 13. "No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon." NO SERVANT CAN SERVE TWO MASTERS - The heart will be either wholly taken up with God, or wholly engrossed with the world. The master of our heart may be fitly termed the love that reigns in it. We serve that only which we love supremely. A man cannot be in perfect indifference betwixt two objects which are incompatible: he is inclined to despise and hate whatever he does not love supremely, when the necessity of a choice presents itself. Our blessed Lord shows here the utter impossibility of loving the world and loving God at the same time; or, in other words, that a man of the world cannot be a truly a believer in character. He who gives his heart to the world robs God of it, and, in snatching at the shadow of earthly good, loses substantial and eternal blessedness. How dangerous is it to set our hearts upon riches, seeing it is so easy to make them our God! You can't serve the interest of money, and preach the Gospel at the same time. You will compromise the Gospel to get much money for yourself, survival, and that's the reason why denominations dine with politicians. Jewish rabbi Kimchi on teaching from Isaiah, Isa 40:21 said: "The whole world is considered as a house builded up: heaven is its roof; the stars its lamps; and the fruits of the earth, the table spread. The owner and builder of this house is the holy blessed God; and man is the steward, into whose hands all the business of the house is committed. If he considers in his heart that the masterars its lamps; and the fruits of the earth, the table spread. The owner and builder of this house is the holy blessed God; and man is the steward, into whose hands all the business of the house is committed. If he considers in his heart that the master of the house is always over him, and keeps his eye upon his work; and if, in consequence, he act wisely, he shall find favour in the eyes of the master of the house: but if the master find wickedness in him, he will remove him, Hebrew מן יפקדתו MIN PAKIDATO, from his Stewardship. The foolish steward doth not think of this: for as his eyes do not see the master of the house, he saith in his heart, 'I will eat and drink what I find in this house, and will take my pleasure in it; nor shall I be careful whether there be a Lord over this house or not.' When the Lord of the house marks this, he will come and expel him from the house, speedily and with great anger. Therefore it is written, He bringeth the princes to nothing." In this current world, if you own a house, then a spider can sneak into this house and live there. If you find it placing cobweb, you will remove it. If it continues to place cobwebs everywhere, then you will remove them and kill the spider. What about God the owner of all creation? He will remove the network of a rich man who oppress the poor, survive on fraud. If you continue with your networks, then God will kill you, and remove all those networks.

CHIEF OF SINNERS, PRESIDENT, MANAGING DIRECTOR, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, CHAIRMAN CAN BECOME CHIEF OF ALL SAINTS BY WAY OF SALVATION FROM JESUS CHRIST.

1 Timothy 1:15, King James Version "This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief." CHRIST JESUS CAME INTO THE WORLD TO SAVE SINNERS - This is one of the most glorious truths in the book of God; the most important that ever reached the human ear, or can be entertained by the heart of man. All men are sinners be personal, political or denominational; and as such condemned, justly condemned, to eternal death. Christ Jesus as God became incarnate, suffered, and died to redeem the believed; and, by his grace and Spirit, saves them from their sins. This saying or doctrine is rendered, first, A FAITHFUL or true SAYING; Greek πιστος ὁ λογος, PISTOS HO LOGOS, it is a doctrine that may be credited, without the slightest doubt or hesitation; God himself has spoken it; and the death of Christ and the mission of the Holy Ghost, sealing pardon on the souls of all who believe, have confirmed and established the truth. Secondly, it is WORTHY OF ALL ACCEPTATION; as all need it, it is worthy, precisely valueful, of being received by all. It is designed for the whole human race, for all that are sinners is applicable to all, because all are sinners; and may be received by all, being put within every man's reach, and brought to every man's ear and bosom, either by the letter of the word, or, where that revelation is not yet come, by the power of the Divine Spirit, the true light from Christ that lightens every man that cometh into the world. From this also it is evident that the death of Christ, and all its eternally saving effects, were designed for every man. The Gospel of Jesus Christ does not discriminate any person in regards to race, wealth prestige and fame, recognition. Everyone is going to hell out of his own volition. OF WHOM I AM CHIEF- Greek Ὡν πρωτος ειμι εγω, WHU PROTOS EIMI EGO. Confounding Paul the apostle, in the fullness of his faith and love, with Saul of Tarsus, in his ignorance, unbelief, and persecuting rage, we are in the habit of saying: "This is a hyperbolical expression, arguing the height of the apostle's modesty and humility. It is strictly and literally true: take the whole of the apostle's conduct, previously to his conversion, into consideration, and was there a greater sinner converted to God from the incarnation to his own time? Not one; he was the chief; and, keeping his blasphemy, persecution, and contumely in view, he asserts: Of all that the Lord JESUS CAME INTO THE WORLD TO SAVE, and of all that he had saved to that time, I am CHIEF, PRESIDENT, MANAGING DIRECTOR, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, CHAIRMAN of all sinners. And who, however humble now, and however flagitious before, could have contested the points with him? He was what he has said, and as he has said it. And it is very exact that the apostle Paul refers to those in whom the grace and mercy of God were, at the first promulgation of the Gospel, manifested: and comparing himself with all these he could with propriety say, Greek ὡν πρωτος ειμι, ON PROTOS EIMI, of whom I am the first; the first who, from a blasphemer, persecutor (and might we not add murderer? see the part he took in the martyrdom of Stephen), became a preacher of that Gospel which I had persecuted. And hence, keeping this idea strictly in view, he immediately adds: HOWBEIT, FOR THIS CAUSE I OBTAINED MERCY; THAT IN ME FIRST, Greek πρωτῳ, PROTO, JESUS CHRIST MIGHT SHEW FORTH ALL LONGSUFFERING, FOR A PATTERN TO THEM WHICH SHOULD HEREAFTER, Greek των μελλοντων, TON MELLONTON, BELIEVE ON HIM TO LIFE EVERLASTING, verse 16. And this great display of the pardoning mercy of God, granted in so singular a manner, at the very first promulgation of the Gospel, was most proper to be produced as a pattern for the encouragement of all penitent sinners to the end of time. If Jesus Christ, with whom there can be no respect of persons, saved Saul of Tarsus, no sinner need despair. Jesus Christ can save you from denominations or religions. Jesus Christ can save you from the hands of all false prophets, charlatans. Jesus Christ can save you from politics. Jesus Christ can save you from your own selfishness. Elsewhere, Paul the apostle, not the old Saul of Tarsus, calls himself the least of all saints, Ephesians 3:8. Here he calls himself the CHIEF OF SINNERS, PRESIDENT, MANAGING DIRECTOR, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, CHAIRMAN. Observe these truths from this: 1. Christ Jesus has come into the world; the prophecies concerning his first coming are now fulfilled. 2. He came to save sinners; He came to save those who could not save and help themselves. Salvation is by faith alone, but many people in the world think salvation is by denominations, trusting in your pastors, political leaders and your money, wealth. The truth is that you cannot save yourself by yourself, and you will know this when you get to hell. 3. Blasphemers and persecutors are the chief of sinners, so Paul reckoned them. 4. The chief of sinners become the chief of saints by salvation for his lost soul in Jesus Christ; so this apostle Paul was, for he was not a bit behind the very chief apostles, 2 Corinthians 11:5, for Jesus Christ came to save the chief of sinners, and use them as chief of servants in his Gospel work. 5. This is a very great truth; it is a faithful saying. These are true and faithful words which must be depended on. 6. It deserves to be received, to be believed by us all, for our comfort and encouragement.

UNDERSTANDING "CHRISTIAN" IN THE CONTEXT OF GREEK PHILOSOPHY. CHRISTIAN IS NOT A NAME OF INSULT AS MAJORITY DECEPTIVELY BELIEVE. IF YOU'RE NOT A CHRISTIAN, DEFINITELY YOU'RE SATANIST.

Acts 11:25-26 states: "Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus, for to seek Saul: And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch." From here, we find that Barnabas and Saul, are the only disciples known by names. Barnabas sought for Saul a clear indication that believers in Christ, a disciple, should seek for a fellow believer to strengthen one another in faith. BROUGHT HIM INTO ANTIOCH, that is the metropolis of Syria. THAT A WHOLE YEAR THEY ASSEMBLED THEMSELVES WITH THE CHURCH. In other words, Barnabas and Saul, later called Paul joined their fellow believers in Christ. We didn't find the phrase "THEY WENT TO CHURCH," hence it is not only acceptable, but blasphemy to call denominations as churches. DISCIPLES WERE CALLED CHRISTIANS, from Jesus Christ they preached as the Saviour of lost souls; from Christ their Master they serve, just as PLATONISTS, and PYTHAGOREANS, had their names, identifications from their masters PLATO and PYTHAGORAS respectively. The identity of CHRISTIANS were given to all disciples, including Barnabas and Saul. But the question remains: Who gave them? Were they believers or unbelievers? Were they insulted by being called Christians or was it meant to give them credit for their faith? Some think that the disciples were called CHRISTIANS because they were ridiculed, mocked, insulted, or presented as laughing stock. Most people had been brainwashed to reject CHRISTIAN identity, based on this. They reject being called CHRISTIANS, finding themselves fighting Christ and their salvation. But this fake belief, is mere speculations propagated by false teachers, written in Bible commentaries. The Greek word CHREMATISAI, translated CALLED in the King James Version Bible meant to APPOINT, WARN or NOMINATE, by DIVINE DIRECTION, not just what mere people could think of their fellows. God appointed disciples to be his children, representatives on earth. He warned the world not to do them evil, and he nominated, enrolled them in his Book of Life before the world began. It was the converted believers who called the disciples CHRISTIANS, and not unbelievers. It was not identification for disrespect as commonly thought, but of true faith. The name, or identification, CHRISTIANS was given, revealed by God to the converted believers who called the DISCIPLES, to display God's grace and holiness, which are essentially required and implied on any soul saved by Jesus Christ. It was identification for both the Jews and the Gentiles. It was not a NICKNAME as rebellious self righteous unbelievers put it. Before its use the Jews and the Gentiles converted, were called NAZARENES, GALILEANS, MEN OF THE WAY OR SECT, MOVERS OF SEDITION, and perhaps by other names which are not come down to us. In Matthew 16:15-17, we find out how Jesus Christ asked his disciples whom he was. The record states: "He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven." In other words, it was God who revealed to Peter to be Christian, a believer in Jesus Christ, and not Peter himself, and by this, Peter declared Jesus Christ as the Son of the Living God responsible for the salvation of Peter's lost soul. FLESH AND BLOOD is a Hebrew PERIPHRASIS for man generally, and should not be mistaken to mean CARNAL REASON or the UNREGENERATE PRINCIPLE in man. You cannot make yourself Christian by way of denomination, pastor, your friends, or what you study. If God has not revealed to you the mystery of salvation, then you will never be a Christian. If you are not a Christian then you are equally not a believer, and not a disciple of Jesus Christ. You are Satanist! Period! Jesus Christ said in Matthew 11:27, that: "All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him." This is the great truth concerning salvation, and CHRISTIAN identity. None can fully comprehend the nature and attribute of God, but Christ, and none can comprehend the work of salvation done by Christ but God. Only God will deliver you to Christ. Only God will make you a Christian. Only God will assemble you to his Church. You cannot become a Christian by yourself, even by arguments, neither by your selfie photos. You cannot make up the Church of Jesus Christ by your denomination. Early Christians considered themselves ONE FAMILY; hence the appellation of BRETHREN was frequently among them. It is the design of God to make all who believed of ONE HEART and ONE SOUL, whereby they considered him as their Father, and live and love like the children of the same household. Herod Agrippa understood CHRISTIAN as a person belonging to Jesus Christ when he told Saint Paul the apostle that: "Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian." Acts 26:28. If you believe like king Herod Agrippa, that Paul's teachings of the Gospel of Jesus Christ is correct, then you must acknowledge the identity of being a CHRISTIAN; but you might choose whether you would get identified as CHRISTIAN, and confess this truth, or not. You can't be a believer and not a Christian. Stop daylight deception of yourself. Peter spoke of a CHRISTIAN belonging to Jesus Christ in this way: "Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf," 1 Peter 4:16. If a CHRISTIAN be persecuted because he belongs to Jesus Christ, let him not be ashamed, to be called CHRISTIAN, but let him rather glorify God on this very account. Christ suffered by the Jews because he was holy; Christians suffer because they resemble him. Denying that you're not a Christian is actually revealing that you are Satanist, hypocrite. A CHRISTIAN, therefore, is the highest character which any human being can bear upon the earth; and to receive it from God, as those appear to have done - how glorious the title! But the next question is: "WHO IS A CHRISTIAN IN COMPARISON TO GREEK PHILOSOPHY?" As PLATONISTS and PYTHAGOREANS had their names from PLATO and PYTHAGORAS respectively, because they attended their teachings, and credited their doctrines, so DISCIPLES were called CHRISTIANS because they took Jesus Christ as their teacher, crediting his doctrines, and following the RULE OF LIFE laid by him. Nevertheless, there was more insight than that. When Pythagoras in his lifetime visited market place called in Greek AGORA, thronged by his fellow Greeks, he publicly spoke: "I HAVE SEEN TWO KINDS OR GROUPS OF PEOPLE SURROUNDING ME, IN MY GATHERING HERE. THOSE WHO LIVE IN THE SPIRIT AND DOCTRINES OF PYTHAGORAS, AND THOSE WHO ADMIRE PYTHAGORAS, BUT HAVE THEIR OWN RULES, REGULATIONS AND TRADITIONS." Pythagoras called those living in his spirit and doctrines as PYTHAGOREANS, and those admiring him, but have their own rules, regulations and traditions as PYTHAGORISTS. This statement of Pythagoras is true when applied to the Word of God, also known as the Gospel of Jesus Christ. In this world, like the market or agora which Pythagoras visited, there two kinds of believers who claimed to be Christians. There are those who live in the Spirit and doctrines of Christ. They have Christ in their spirits, souls, and they do in accordance to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. These are the true CHRISTIANS. There are those who admire Jesus Christ, but they have their own doctrines, their own denominations, which they deceive themselves as churches. These are FALSE CHRISTIANS, who should be properly called CHRISTINISTS. Jesus Christ told the Samaritan woman at Jacob's well in Sychar, that: "But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him," John 4:23. It is this time, HOUR, and this day, right now, that true CHRISTIANS must have God in their spirits, and must walk according to the truth prescribed by God alone in his Word, for only those are the people sought seriously by God. God cannot call you, and later permit you to establish your church, which you know act independently from the Church of Jesus Christ. God cannot call you to pray on Saturday, or Sunday, but allow you to commit wickedness for the days remaining in the week. The worship in denominations is defective worship, for they accept those deceiving by lips as Christians, those shedding crocodile tears as saved, and the general immoral, corrupt characters as men or women of God. This is the worship of FALSE CHRISTIANS, properly called CHRISTINISTS. The worship of God, having God in your spirit, discovered the true nature of God, salvation, of the human soul, of the earthly and of the heavenly things; and because of this, it is put in opposition to the defective worship in denominations. Jesus Christ continues to speak to the Samaritan woman, in John 4:24, that:"God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth." God is a Spirit because he fills both heaven and earth. He is the cause of all things, the fountain of perfection, without PARTS or DIMENSIONS, for he is ETERNAL, PERVADING, GOVERNING and UPHOLDING all things. Solomon after completing building the temple, gave this prayer: "But will God indeed dwell on the earth? behold, the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house that I have builded?" 1 Kings 8:27. The Spirit of God cannot dwell in the buildings made by man, and if denominations claim one, then it is the god of this world called Satan, 2 Corinthians 4:4. The glory of God, not only could not be contained in the whole vortex of nature, but much less it cannot be contained in any building used for denomination, which is false, deceptive worship. God is pleased only with that which resemble him, and therefore a Christian must have the Spirit of Christ in order to worship God in truth. A man worships God in SPIRIT, when under the influence of the Holy Ghost, he brings all his affections, appetites, and desires to the throne of God, and he worships him in TRUTH, when every purpose and passions of his heart is guided and regulated by the Word of God. Abu Fazel, Arab philosopher said: "THE ENLIGHTENED PART OF MANKIND KNOWS THAT TRUE RIGHTEOUSNESS IS AN UPRIGHT HEART; AND BELIEVE THAT GOD CAN ONLY BE WORSHIPPED IN HOLINESS OF SPIRIT." Part of the Hindu tradition believed that God respect a person as the most devout, who hath faith in him, and the person must worship or serve God with a soul possessed by the Spirit of God. In Romans 8:1, it is written: " There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit." Even though everybody must appear before the judgment of God, the guilt and penalty has been removed by God to all true Christians, who have received salvation for their lost souls in Christ. You must have the Spirit of Christ to get that offer. But those who WALK AFTER THE FLESH, are condemned here on earth, and thereafter in heaven. 2 Corinthians 3:17 states: "Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty." NOW, at this very hour, day, moment, THE LORD Jesus Christ is THAT SPIRIT who dwells on the believer called CHRISTIAN, and this person possessed by the SPIRIT OF THE LORD, is the only one who has been saved, liberated from sin, and its consequences - THERE IS LIBERTY. This agrees exactly to what Jesus Christ spoke in John 8:36 that: "If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed." In other words, if you have the Spirit of Jesus Christ, then you will be free from sin, and the stratagem of Satan. This alone is the SALVATION of the lost souls. You can cry like the Pentecostals or worship idols like the Catholics, or talk about prophecies, and observe Sabbath like the Adventists. If you don't have Jesus Christ in your spirit, then you are not a Christian, and you are not saved. A true Christian, having the Spirit of Jesus Christ is FREE INDEED, and is not concerned with what is happening in the world. Aristotle, the Greek philosopher defined FRIEND, as the soul or spirit of one person living in two or more bodies. At community welfare meetings, the family of the deceased, of the late, presented themselves in the name of the deceased. This revealed the notion that even though the person is dead, being the late, his spirit still lives on the family he left behind. Jesus Christ called his DISCIPLES as his FRIENDS in John 15:14-15. This exactly meant even though he died for our sins, raised up and ascended into heaven for our justification, we as Christians are proofs that Jesus Christ is still living here on earth. We have his Spirit, we are his representative, hence described as his FRIENDS. To be a Christian is to take the Spirit of Jesus Christ, to be united to Christ: to continue in the mind of Christ, c.f. Philippians 2:5. It is absurd to talk of being children of God, and absolute, final perseverance, when the soul has lost its spiritual union, either by way of denomination, political greed, or the love of earthly good. There is no perseverance but in CLEAVING TO THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD. He who denies the Lord in his works, cannot accept the Gospel without adding his denomination, politics, or his own rules, interpretation, or understanding, does not CLEAVE TO THE LORD'S SPIRIT. Such a person is not of God, and is not a Christian whatsoever. His claim of Christian title has no basis. He is preaching a sectarian Jesus, who is not Jesus Christ of the Bible. He is preaching about heaven, when he is a hell material. If the person had ever had salvation from God, then he has lost it. He has fallen from grace. Nor is there a word in the Bible of God, fairly and honestly understood, that says such a person shall ABSOLUTELY AND UNAVOIDABLY ARISE from his fall. As presented in Acts 11:24, a true CHRISTIAN, having the Spirit of Christ, must be: 1. A GOOD MAN, that is, HIS BAD HEART is changed, his EVIL DISPOSITIONS rooted out, and the Spirit of Christ planted in him. One who can only do good to his family, but can sacrifice others, including friends for his evil, or opportunism, is not a Christian whatsoever. 2. FULL OF THE HOLY GHOST. He is holy, because the Spirit of holiness dwells in him, which is from Jesus Christ himself. It is not enough to claim transient visitations or drawings from that Spirit. The Spirit of Jesus Christ is a RESIDENT in the soul of that person. It is LIGHT in his UNDERSTANDING. It is WISDOM in his JUDGMENT. It is FIXED PURPOSE and DETERMINATION in righteousness in his WILL. It is PURITY, directing one to love THE LORD THY GOD WITH ALL THY HEART, AND WITH ALL THY SOUL, AND WITH ALL THY MIND, and to love THY NEIGHBOUR AS THYSELF, Matthew 22:37,39. 1 Corinthians 13:13 indicates: "And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity." LOVE is the fulfilling of the Gospel, John 3:16. In a word, the Spirit of Jesus Christ has sovereign way in the Christian heart; it governs all PASSIONS, and is the MOTIVE and PRINCIPLE of every righteous ACTION. 3. FULL OF FAITH. He implicitly credited his Lord, and never doubted him whatsoever. Christian faith should never fail because it is laid on God who never change. Hebrews 11:6 indicates: "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." That is, WITHOUT FAITH, you cannot have the Spirit of the Lord. You cannot become a Christian. HE THAT COMETH TO GOD, is he that has the Spirit of Christ. That person in exercising his duty of true worship, must act or do it in conviction that the Spirit of the Lord is infinite, eternal, unoriginated, self existence; the cause of everything on earth; on whom everything depends, and by whose energy, bounty, and providence, all other beings exist, live, and are supplied with the means of continued existence and life. The infinite skill, power, and continual ENERGY of God is above humans. So God cannot align himself, neither approve what people think Christian to be, which is outside his Word. Without the indwelling Spirit of Christ, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE GOD, and anyone who does not please God ignites his wrath. A CHRISTIAN IS A BELIEVER IN JESUS CHRIST, A DISCIPLE OF JESUS CHRIST, A FOLLOWER OF JESUS CHRIST, AMBASSADOR OF JESUS CHRIST, AND A CITIZEN OF HEAVEN. I personally, is not ashamed for being called a CHRISTIAN. (From my old preaching notes).

WICKED AGRIBUSINESS OPPORTUNIST COMPARED TO A RELIGIOUS LEADER.

Read Luke 12:16-19. THE GROUND OF A CERTAIN RICH MAN BROUGHT FORTH PLENTIFULLY. Suppose this RICH MAN was a religious leader, from theological seminary, parading himself as called of God, Christian celebrity, demanding to be respected as servant of God, and then the GROUND is the field of spreading the Gospel, the Great Commission. THE GROUND... BROUGHT PLENTIFULLY, in the sense that the religious leader converted many people into Christian faith. But the converts did not know the religious crafty intentions of this person.

The man said in his heart: "WHAT SHALL I DO, BECAUSE I HAVE NO ROOM WHERE TO BESTOW MY FRUIT." In other words, this man, in our case, the religious leader reasoned within himself: "What shall he do, seeing he had converted so many people which could be translated into material wealth in terms of money offerings and tithes for himself?" The man, then suggested: "THIS WILL I DO: I WILL PULL DOWN MY BARNS, AND BUILD GREATER, AND THERE WILL I BESTOW ALL MY FRUITS AND GOODS." In our case, the religious leader will not puzzle himself with the converts he had won for himself. He will demolish his small ministry, and build mega churches, in the size of stadia globally which could accept even gay priests, permit divorce for remarriage, in order to fatten his bank accounts, and increase his fame or reputation globally. Thereafter the man consoled his soul: " SOUL, THOU HAST MUCH GOODS LAID UP FOR MANY YEARS; TAKE THINE EASE, EAT, DRINK AND BE MERRY." To the religious leader, he will say to his soul: "Soul, thou hast many followers in your religious network globally, relax, get yourself personal jet, posh cars, have a house with sauna, swimming pool, lounges, tour the world enjoying, celebrate your better life now, and be numbered among the greats of the world." Great possessions are generally accompanied with pride, idleness, and luxury; and these are the greatest enemies to salvation, for they choke souls. BUT GOD SAID UNTO HIM, THOU FOOL, THIS NIGHT THY SOUL SHALL BE REQUIRED OF THEE; THEN WHOSE SHALL THOSE THINGS BE WHICH THOU HAST PROVIDED? This is the foolish extent of denominations, and everybody who fellowship there deceiving that he/she had received salvation. It is also equally foolish to politicians, and business fraudsters who go there to give tithes/offerings.

Job said (Job 15:34), that: "For the congregation of hypocrites shall be desolate, and fire shall consume the tabernacles of bribery." Imagine that a man's comfort and peace, who risks them on temporal things, religious conmanship, instead of Jesus Christ. What a dreadful awakening of a soul, long asleep in denominational sin! This night, Jesus Christ, will require your soul, for you have stolen souls, which are meant for His salvation to establish your religious empire. Hell will be your home. GLORY TO GOD.

THE LESSONS CHRISTIANS CAN LEARN FROM PETER AND FELLOW FISHERMEN ON THE NIGHT THEY CAME WITHOUT FISH.

From Luke 5:5, in King James Bible, it states: "And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net." MASTER. The word translated Master (Greek EPISTATES) is not the same as that (Greek DIDASKALOS, Hebrew RABBI, teacher) in the other Gospels, and often in this also, and is peculiar to St. Luke. It implies a distinct recognition of our Lord's character as a Creator or Chief Engineer, a Navigator, experienced Fisherman, and was more the language of general respect, such as workmen might use of their MASTER. The term MASTER, also properly signifies a prefect, or one who is set over certain affairs or persons: it is used also for an instructor, or originator. Peter considered Christ, from what he had heard, as teacher of a Divine doctrine, and as having authority to command, etc. He seems to comprise both ideas in this appellation; he listened attentively to His teaching, and readily obeyed His orders. To hear attentively, and obey cheerfully, are duties we owe, not only to the sovereign Master of the world, but also to ourselves. No man ever took Jesus profitably for his teacher, who did not at the same time receive him as his Lord. WE HAVE TOILED ALL THE NIGHT - We have worked tirelessly on the dead times when people had retired to bed without any fruit realization. They had cast the net several times in the course of the night, and drew it to shore without success, and were now greatly disheartened. Personally, I, Israel Laban, have seen several laborious draughts of this kind made without fruit. All labor must be fruitless where the blessing of God is not; but especially that of the ministry. It is the presence and influence of Christ, in a congregation, that cause souls to be gathered unto himself: without these, whatever the preacher's eloquence or abilities may be, all will be night, and fruitless labor. AT THY WORD I WILL LET DOWN THE NET - He who assumes the character of a fisher of men, under any authority that does not proceed from Christ, is sure to catch nothing; but he who labors by the order and under the direction of the great Shepherd and Bishop of souls, cannot labor in vain. Several lessons to be learnt here are these: 1. YOU ARE DEEMED TO FAILURE IN YOUR WORSHIP WITHOUT JESUS CHRIST. How often do we reason among ourselves? Because You, Jesus, say so I will do it. Because I have so much faith in You and in Your word, I will do it. Or do we have doubts… Are we afraid to fail… Most people are imprisoned in denominations because they want decent luxurious burial to be offered to them upon their death. Tell Jesus Christ that you have laboured all your life in denominations, ministries, but you have received nothing concerning the salvation of your lost souls, and because He invited you to His Church, who are His followers, you will fully honour and obey the calling immediately. Philippians 4:13, King James Version Bible, states: "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." These fishermen were unable to make a catch, although they had used all of their skills, abilities and time, until Jesus blessed them. You can attend theological seminaries or universities, but without the power of the Holy Ghost, you cannot understand the Gospel of Jesus Christ whatsoever. Jesus Christ Himself said in Matthew 11:27, King James Version Bible, that: "All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him." The Lord was teaching a lesson that we all need to learn; there is failure without Him. TO DO THE GOSPEL WORK WITHOUT HIM WILL BRING DISAPPOINTMENTS… Not only is there failure, there is disappointment that comes with that failure. In our service to the Lord, we can have all of the tools for greatness only to find the disappointments and the frustration of not seeing God’s blessings. The blessings of God's work, not religious fraud, come from having Jesus Christ. We need Him. That’s the reason we need to daily be in His Word. We know that we must have Him. TO WORK WITHOUT JESUS CHRIST WILL BRING DISCOURAGEMENT… Discouragement can hinder the work. Washing nets which have caught no fish is not any fun. That is running denominations where all souls are lost, deceiving yourself that you are planting churches.. There will be times in your Christian walk when you will not see results; you only are “washing nets which caught no fish”. If this is so because you were simply going through the motions without His blessings, then this is a real tragedy. The Lord’s presence and the Lord’s instructions brought the Lord’s blessings to Simon Peter and the rest of the fishermen. Two boats nearly sank because of the large number of fish… after the blessings came. II. WE MUST HAVE FAITH IN HIM… Let’s take another look at the passage once again: "And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net." When we have faith in The Lord, we show this by being obedient to His Word. Peter at first argued that they had spent the night without any success, but then took the Lord at His Word. If it was the current generation, they could have argued with the Lord that the lake has no fish, but frogs, snakes, crocodiles, tortoises, and that they are not going back to redo fishing... This teaches us that we often do things our way only to find that our ways, alone, doesn’t work. It gives us no visible result and often frustrates us and then we have a whole new host of emotions… Anger, resentment etc. WE SHOULD HAVE FAITH THAT JESUS CHRIST IS GOD OF CREATION … "For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist." (Colossians 1:16-17, KJV) Now Jesus could have either called the fish to the net or created them in the net. Either way what happened was a miracle. When Jesus shows up… “Look for a Miracle”. We Should Have Faith that He is The Caring God… "But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:19, KJV) There has been no greater comfort to Christians than just knowing that the Lord cares about us… So much so, if we do what we should, He will supply all of our needs according to His riches in glory. Just as He provided the fish for the fishermen, He can provide our Christian needs if we pray … “But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:19 KJV) III. WE SHOULD BE WILLING TO FORSAKE ALL FOR HIM… Look now at verse 11 "And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and followed him." ( Luke 5:11, KJV). This should be the attitude and the disposition that marks the true disciple. To say the Peter and his company sold the large catch for cash thereby becoming rich and prosperous, is deceptions, mostly used by Word of Faith Movement. They left everything and followed Him. Luke’s Gospel tells us this in Luke 14:33: "So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple." (Luke 14:33, KJV) This Involves Surrender… To surrender is to turn loose anything that has a hold of you… This could be a job, a friendship, a comfort zone, a crutch (by that, I mean anything that you are trusting in that will hinder you from following Him). This Involves Submission… When Peter said. But because you say so, I will let down the nets. He was submitting to the will of the Lord. IV. WE SHOULD FOLLOW HIM COMPLETELY… We’re not done with verse 11 "And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and followed him." ( Luke 5:11, KJV). Who better to Guide than Jesus? To follow Him is to follow Him through the Scriptures. His Word will point you in the right direction… " Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path." (Psalm 119:105, KJV) "Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me." (Psalm 119:98, KJV) "Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.." (Psalm 119:11, KJV) You want a good compass in your life to let you know when you’ve strayed from the path. Read Ps 119 as a foundation for setting that compass. Then… Let His Word be a light unto your path. He Will Lead Us As The Good Shepherd… One only has to think of the good work of the shepherd who leads, guides, and protects his sheep. Our Good Shepherd certainly leads us well. He Will Lead Us By His Word in Scripture and The Holy Spirit…

YOU CALL YOURSELF CHRISTIAN! REALLY! ARE YOU GENUINE OR SPURIOUS?

Mt. 10:32 “Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.”

“Confess me,” that is, acknowledging personally that you belongs to Jesus Christ, not any other way. It is pointless to preach about the message you had doubts about. You must belong to Jesus Christ in full aspects, not attributing your fellowship to Roman Catholic, Protestants, or any other religion. It is surprising, as well as shameful to hear someone admitting he was born Adventist, or a Catholic. Did Catholic or Adventist, knew him from his mother’s womb? The truth of the matter is that heaven is for Jesus Christ, and His disciples, called Christians. None Christians will ever set their feet there.

Catholics belong to the Pope. Adventists belong to Ellen Gould White. Jehovah witnesses belong to William Miller. Christian scientists belong to Mary Baker Eddy. Mormons belong to Joseph Smith. Methodists belong to John Wesley. Lutherans belong to Martin Luther. Anglicans belong to Queen Elizabeth, and the Royal Family. Muslims belong to Mohammad, through Allah who is Satan. Buddhists belong to Gautama Buddha. The list goes on and on, to cover Evangelicals, Charismatics, Pentecostals, and so on. These are the ways human beings are domesticated in the corrupt worship, their minds pathetically poisoned, and completely enslaved in religious madness, until they die, if they had not have their eyes opened by the Holy Ghost.

Confession of Jesus Christ here involves commitment to Him as the One and only Lord and Saviour, and the resulting acknowledgement of Him by life, from the heart, which the lip loudly testifies. In reality, secret discipleship is a practical impossibility, even though the Church of Jesus Christ is invisible, being none among denominations, but fully functional, for Christ is alive forever.

Jesus Christ constantly called for an open confession of Himself by His followers, known as the genuine Christians. Christians must be willing to acknowledge Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, and with all that these terms apply. That confession must be “before men,” clearly indicates that it is publicly done. You must tell publicly that you don’t belong to Roman Catholic, Protestants, Islam, and neither any other religion, no matter the insults or oppositions you will get. This denial of religions, ministries, is the clear acknowledgement of belonging to Jesus Christ, which our Saviour, will alternatively confess in respect to His followers, before our Father which is in heaven. This true Christian faith is a vital necessity.

To confess, rendered Hebrew yadhah; Greek homologeo, is used of abiding in the faith, and walking according to the truth. That faith is Jesus Christ, and not denominations or religions. That truth is Jesus Christ, and not religious or political figures. To confess is openly to acknowledge the truth in anything, as in the existence and authority of God, and accept that man is guilty of sin, and nothing he could do by himself whether religious or political to get himself out of the spiritual quagmire. Occasionally it means to concede or allow (Jn. 1:20; Acts 24:14; Heb. 11:13). 1 Jn. 4:15, states: “Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.” The idea is that of confessing Christ out of a state of oneness with Him. “Abide in me and I in you…” (Jn. 15:4), basically revealed confessing Jesus Christ. It implies identification of the confessor with the Confessed, and thus takes confession out of the category of mere formal or verbal acknowledgement. The true confessor of Christ, that is, a genuine Christian, is one whose faith rests in Jesus Christ.

Thus, to confess, takes the following order: First, the person must surrender himself to Jesus Christ. He must be a willing slave. Second, the person must be ready to believe in Jesus Christ. He must be free from religious or denominational attachment. Third, the person must publicly profess to be solely the property of Jesus Christ. Fourth, the person must be thankful to Jesus Christ for saving his soul which was lost in the kingdom of darkness, and Fifth, the person must promise to walk a Christian walk in his entire life on earth. But there are consequences to those who feel that the Christ they hear, claimed to have, must be added to other traditions, leaders, or doctrines, or religious establishments.

Mt. 10:33, states: “But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.”

The Greek aorist tense, referred not to a single, abrupt denial, but to an entire lifelong resistance to Jesus Christ which shall never cease. Therefore, it is not a single act of denial which makes one unworthy of being disciple, but a refusal to confess Christ as the sole Owner of him at all, that eliminates one from being a true Christian.

To deny, Greek arneomai, meant: First, is to disown Jesus Christ. To say you don’t recognize Him as the Saviour of lost souls. Second, is to reject God for polytheism, prescribing to all faiths, thinking that all worshippers belong to God, thus going to heaven; and Third, to repudiate Jesus Christ in the face of the Gospel you claimed to be proclaiming or after getting the better knowledge of the Scriptures. You personally betrayed Jesus Christ at the expense of loving the world. Heb. 10:26-27, states: “For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which will devour the adversaries.”

Anyone who will confess being a Catholic, Adventist, Pentecostal, Muslim, and any other ministry, denomination, or religion, had publicly denied of himself to be a follower of Jesus Christ. This person will be denied by Jesus Christ before our Father which is in heaven. To deny Jesus Christ is to refuse His salvation, to think you can worship by proxy, and to prevent Him from accessing your life. This is the conversation the Gospel saboteurs used to attack the genuine Christians: “How can you be a Christian without having any denominational fellowship?” then the person laughs! This person is a fool big time. Jesus Christ will tell him right straight in his face “I never knew you.”

Catholics are not Christians. Adventists are not Christians. Pentecostals are not Christians. Mormons are not Christians. Jehovah witnesses are not Christians. Any person attached to religions or denomination, is not a Christian whatsoever. In all, these are people who had denied Jesus Christ. The glory of Jesus Christ, cannot be shared with the Pope, not with Ellen Gould White, not with Joseph Smith, not with William Miller, not with Mohammad, not with David Edward Owuor of the Ministry of Repentance and Holiness in Kenya, and not with any other person, be religious figure. When you call yourself “reverend” when reverence meant worship, who is God to you, when you’ve taken His place? David, the son of Jesse spoke of God in this wise: “He sent redemption unto his people: He hath commanded His covenant for ever, holy and reverend is His name,” Psalm 111:9. To say you are reverend so, and so, is plainly declaring that you’re god before them. Anyone who confesses Jesus Christ, along with any person of religious or political figure in the world, had in the real sense publicly denied Him. That person will be denied by the very Christ, and will find himself shamefully in hell. You call your pastor “his holiness,” when in the real sense he is a sinner, being immoral, and engaging in all manners of fraud! You call your bishop “reverend,” when you know he does not match God who created him, and is not a deity to be worshiped! You call Pope your “father,” when God is only the Father in heaven! You engage in demonic tongues, crocodile tears, and demonic miracles, to prove your salvation, when you know truly you are still in the kingdom of darkness, not saved! You preached the Bible, along with the messages written on books by religious leaders, knowing very well that these books contain satanic messages! How horrible is your situation! You should be ashamed of yourself. The people you deceive, is not the same as Jesus Christ, whom you think you will deceive, and bypass in the next world. The Son of God will reject you. Thereafter there will be shame, and torments in the everlasting fire in hell.

To conclude the message, here is the recapitulation: FALSE CONFESSION EXPOSED. “He that saith, I know Him, and keepeth not His commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him,” 1 Jn. 2:4. WARNING AGAINST FALSE CONFESSION. “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord , Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven,” Mt. 7:21. CONFESSION IS COMPULSORY FOR SALVATION. “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation," Rom. 10:9-10.
