TWENTY-TWO: TWO KINDS OF PEOPLE
According to the bible based ministry of Gotquestions.org, “The Bible nowhere supports the idea of the Christian church being its own sovereign nation. Jesus made it clear that His kingdom is not of this world (John 8:23; 18:26). The Bible never condones or encourages the establishment of earthly kingdoms or diplomatic entities because these things, by their very nature, focus attention on the world, which is passing away (1 Corinthians 7:31; 1 John 2:17). Christians are to be focused on the heavenly kingdom, and our only diplomatic efforts are to be spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ and warning others of the wrath to come.” http://www.gotquestions.org/Vatican-City.html There are two kinds of people in the world: The first are those who believe that this world is their home, their kingdom; and therefore believe that they are to build God's kingdom in and through the kingdoms of men, which in reality is Satan's kingdom. Thus they do not believe that the kingdom's of men are controlled by Satan the Devil for if they did then they wouldn't be attempting to build God's kingdom through Satan's. Additionally they are not seeking a Messiah who is going to come to destroy the evil kingdoms of men and Satan with the wrath of God, they are seeking a Messiah that is going to bring in peace and prosperity for the kingdoms of men because they do not believe they are evil and in rebellion against God. Of these who believe that the world will soon transition into an era of global peace and prosperity are many people who identify themselves as Christians. The Messiah who the world is seeking, including many Christians, will be the Antichrist. Contrary to those who believe that the world and the kingdoms there in is their home true bible believing Christians consider themselves citizens of God's kingdom in heaven existing on earth as ambassadors on a mission inviting the lost to escape the wrath and destruction that are coming to this world by immigrating to the safety of the Kingdom of God through the door of Jesus Christ. "Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God." John 3:5 “the whole world lieth in wickedness (the whole world lies under control of the evil one – Greek). 1 John 5:19 “In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not. 2 Corinthians 4:4 “Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him.” John 8:4 “Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.” John 12:31 "And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.” John 3:19 “And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.” 2 Thessalonians 2:8-10 “But because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of God's wrath, when his righteous judgment will be revealed.” Romans 2:5 "He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.” John 3:36 “The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.” John 7:7 "And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it." Luke 4:5-6 “For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.” 1 John 3:8 "And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite, (strike down), the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God......And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army...And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh." Revelation 19:15, 19 & 21 “Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down, (destroyed or abolished), all rule and all authority and power.” 1 Corinthians 15:24 "Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness." 2 Peter 3:6-7, 10, 12-13 “for the fashion of this world passeth away, the present form of this world is passing away) 1 Cor. 7:31 "Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead. Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast. For, behold, the Lord cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.” Isaiah 26:19-21 “Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.” John 18:36 “They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.” John 17:16 “...(they), confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country. And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned. But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.” Hebrews 11:13-16 “For our conversation, (citizenship), is in heaven;” Philippines 3:20 “Now then we are ambassadors for Christ,...” 2 Corinthians 5:20 The religious people of the world for the world teach that all people are children of God, but that is lie. Those who are not children of God are children of Satan the Devil be default. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his, (Whoever does not have the Spirit of Christ is not of Christ, not of God). Romans 8:9 “And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will, (to accomplish his will).” 2 Timothy 2:26 “And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.” Ephesians 2:1-3 "If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him.” John 8:42-44 “For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:” Colossians 3:6 “He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.” 1 John 3:8-10 “They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error” 1 John 4:5-6 “If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.” John 15:19 "Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.” 1 John 4:2-3 “The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand. He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.” John 3:35-36 “Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:” Colossians 1:12-14 "Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.” John 3:5 “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:” John 1:12 "Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.” 1 John 3:1 “For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.” Galatians 3:26 “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:” Romans 8:14-16 “Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,...” Ephesians 1:5 "Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God....But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.” 1 Corinthians 2:12 & 14 Pope Francis and the Vatican Assert that Christians and Muslims worship and pray to the same God. http://www.catholic.com/blog/todd-aglialoro/christians-muslims-and-the-one-god Pope Francis: discourse to representatives of the Churches, Ecclesial Communities and other religions “I greet and thank cordially all of you, dear friends belonging to other religious traditions; firstly the Muslims, who worship the one living and merciful God, and call upon Him in prayer.” Pope Francis https://catholicismpure.wordpress.com/2013/03/20/pope-francis-discourse-to-representatives-of-the-churches-ecclesial-communities-and-other-religions-full-text/ If Muslims were worshiping the same God of Christianity, then they would be led to putting their faith in Jesus Christ. If they were praying to the true God, the true God would inform them that Jesus is God incarnate and their Messiah and that they must worship Jesus just as they worship the Father. “I and my Father are one. Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him. Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me? The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.” John 10:30-33 “Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;” Titus 2:13 “And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.” John 20:28 “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” John 14:6 “For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son: That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.” John 5:23-23 “God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth” John 4:24 “For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.” 1 Timothy 2:3-4 “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.” James 1:5 The fact that Muslims continue on for years, decades and centuries without ever coming to a realization that Jesus is their God and Savior proves that they are not worshiping the same God as true followers of Jesus Christ. The Pope and Vatican know that the Bible states that Muslims are not worshiping nor praying to the same God and Father of Jesus Christ. Based upon this logic the Pope and the Vatican reveal that they are not true disciples of Jesus Christ for they are knowingly and deliberately making false statements claiming that they are true and deceiving Muslims and the world with those false statements. “Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.” 1 John 2:23 “For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward. Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.” 2 John 1:7-11 “He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.” 1 John 5:12 “Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.” 1 John 4:1-3 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12 “But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.” 2 Timothy 3:13 “Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.” Mathew 23:15 |
