Do we pray to be committed to God more ? Do we pray that God would increase our love for Him ?? For those who are interested in true spiritual depth and personal spiritual growth, a few other books [ how to be saved, how to be a Christian ]. may be of real help to you. [ Free in all formats, including PDF and Kindle]

It remains to be said that there are many false teachers today. Those who care about God care about this, because they do not want others to be led astray. Many false teachers exist in USA, but the reports of their activity, false teachings, and unbiblical theology do not receive much publicity. By the time that others find out, many lives are ruined. In order to avoid this, it is recommended that you study the issues, doctrines, and teachings of many ministries, and compare them to traditional historic orthodox genuine Christianity. There is material available to do this study, for those who care.

For the issues of Today’s church, a few works about the Modern dangers of some of the excesses found in many the Charismatic or other groups may inform you about the origins, the roots, the theology and the implications of some of these new streams of spirituality, such as:

[ Anointing - or Apostasy ? The Latter Rain Legacy by Charles Graves].

[ Latter Rain (and other Branham inspired charismatic ) movement by Jewel van der Merwe) ].

[ A Planned Deception, the staging of a New Age Messiah) ].
(or see the Historic perspective on who is the real Messiah)

[ Do we keep smiling and say nothing – The Report on KCF (Kansas City) Produced by Ernie Gruen & Staff – The original AUDIO MP3 message].

[ Do we keep smiling and say nothing – The Report on KCF (Kansas City) Produced by Ernie Gruen & Staff – The Written book of documentation].

Sorry if that accurate information bothers some people (usually not those who are seeking truth.
That information is something called 1. Facts 2. Evidence and 3. Documentation. Its not very painful, unless you are not used to dealing with truth, accuracy, facts and spiritual discernment. But God helps those who really ARE trying to seek and find Him, to find Truth. Facts and events are not a surprise to God. And WANTS us to seek truth and not to give in to fear. If we place our faith in teachings that are not accurate, we each need to know that, so that we are not deceived.

(( Please note that NOT ALL Charismatic or Pentecostal groups or churches are bad or teach errant doctrine. [some change or improve 4 the better].. However it is important to check on the details of where you worship, fellowship and learn, so that you can be sure that you are receiving sound doctrine (Titus 1:9 and not those in Tim 4: 3-4). ))


The real history of the Pagan Mystery Religions - ( based not in the Holy Scripture, but in emotionalism and false emotional experiences, though they seeemed so real ) - which is where all is returning to can be found in the much referred to [ The Two Babylons ]. and in Mysteries of the Cabiri; or, The great gods of Phenicia, Samothrace, Egypt, Greece, etc, Vol 01, [ VOL 01 – GSF]. Vol 02 [ VOL 02 – GSF ]. by G S Faber.
( Note: the worship of Nimrod-Zeus and his wife, - [ contrary to what is alleged by many in the sacred name movement] - is different from the Genuine worship of the genuine Jesus Christ found in actual . accurate versions . of the New Testament) ..


For the history of Biblical teachings, (also known as Doctrine), some of the works of George Stanley Faber (and others) may be of encouragement.

[ The difficulties of infidelity (1835) – GSF- George Stanley Faber ].

[ peculiarities of the Latin church evinced to be untenable – GSF ].

[ A practical treatise on the ordinary operations of the Holy Spirit (1814) – GSF ].

[ The new life in Christ Jesus ].


For those interested in the deeper background of the Old Testament scripture [ keep in mind that 40% to 60% of the New Testament is the Old Testament requoted]. Everything done in the New Testament is still being done in relation to the Old Testament. ( Note: Those who know almost nothing about the Old Testament section of the Bible would do well to start reading and re-reading both in the book of Psalms and the book of Proverbs).


[ A Treatise On The Origin Of Expiatory Sacrifice (1827) – GSF].
[ The Temple, its ministry and services as they were at the time of Jesus Christ].
[ The hope of Israel [microform] what is it (MAURO)].
[ Horae Mosaicae, or, A view of the Mosaical records – GSF ].


The issue of Bible versions still remains popular and a subject for study:

[ The English Revisers' [Wescott - Hort] Greek Text - Shown to be Unauthorized, Except by false [errant] Egyptian Copies Discarded].

[ The traditional text of the Holy Gospels vindicated and established].

[ The books of the Old and New Testaments proved to be true, accurate and canonical, and their verbal inspiration maintained].


[ The evidence and authority of divine revelation – 01 – Haldane ].

[ The evidence and authority of divine revelation - 02 – Haldane].

[ A Plea for the [Inspiration and] Canon of Scripture ( Bible) by the Bible Society].




[ Secret History of the Oxford Movement [Evangelicals in England induced to defect to Rome] [i.e. Westcott & Hort]].

[ Pope Benedict's Denunciation ].

[ Evangelicals Embark to Papal Rome].

[ The revision revised - Westcott and Hort's new textual theory].

[ Divine inspiration; or, The supernatural influence exerted in the communication of divine truth-HENDERSON].

[ The question discussed, Shall the whole word of God be given to the heathen -HENDERSON].


[ Hidden history of the Greek New Testament].

[ which greek text your Bible is translated from does matter, and can affect your spiritual understanding, and likely your spiritual destination]

It takes No effort to easily say to you: Don’t worry, be happy, and take the electronic mark ( a specific tatoo ? – indentation as ownership ) .so you can buy and sell and everything will all work out if you endure the last week (prophetically) which lasts seven years. But that would be wrong. You should know who will be the author of that Mark or Tatoo (Rev 13). It takes much more effort and commitment to you, to say Wake Up, Find out what is going on, Commit . to informing yourself. Your future is made up of the many hundreds of decisions you have made PRIOR to that future. Have you ever asked yourself how do peope become spiritually deceived, and what will it mean to you, if there is a global falling away spiritually ? How would you know whether or not you are a part of it ? [ What do you expect ? That those who become spiritually . deceived . are going to admit this to you, they will say out loud, “ I was foolish, I did not study I did not do the research, I am now spiritually deceived ., and I am happy for the evidence of me not be regenerated ”. ? Take control of your own spiritual life ! Be not deceived and study . to show yourself approved.

There are many resources. here. If you are deceived or led astray, it is only your fault and you are the one to blame. We are each responsiblefor. our own spiritual path, and the information and learning we chose to epose ourselves to, or deny or ignore or postpone. Like everything else, your spiritual connection and walk with God is what You make of it. The Bible is filled with information. [ not disclosed or talked about in Churches]..You have to read the New Testament for yourself. [ the Gospel of John is a good place to start, and remember to use a good, histori and accurate version. It is not what you “theoretically” want to do, or wish to do, that counts. If you are deceived spiritually, what difference will it make, that you “were going to study” or you were “ going to learn” ? Will you be... any less deceived, because you were going to [in the future] actually invest the time in yourself to learn ???

Take the time and learn n-o-w, while you can.

Do you remember the words of scripture :

II Timothy 2: 15 Study [ STUDY !!! ] to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly [RIGHTLY] dividing the word of truth.
16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.


II Timothy 2:19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour.
21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.
22 Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.


Its what you actually [ ACTUALLY !!! ] do, what you actually[ ACTUALLY !!! ] study. Stop waiting for others to help you, and start helping yourself. The day will soon come when none of this may be around, and then all you will have is what you know, in your head, in your own mind.

Pray for yourself that you will wake up from your coma, that you would have a love of God, a love of His true and authentic Word (Bible), a deep desire to study the Word, and that God would show you how to have the spiritual and personal inner strength for these times. Pray that you would not waste your time, but that you would value and do what God wants you to do and value., and that HE would help you find the answers you are looking for.


What people MUST believe about God, in order to find Him and why Faith in God is neccessary ------- Hebrews 11: 6 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.

To restate the obvious:
YOU = “ he that cometh to God “
MUST BELIEVE:
1) that he is, [ That God exists] , and
2) that he is a rewarder of them that diligently [ DILIGENTLY !!! ] seek him.



Luke 21: 8
8 And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.

II Thess 2
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness ... because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

( what did they receive not ? This means that there is something that certain ones chose not to receive. What is that ?? )

----

Example: what they often don’t talk about in church:

Titus 2: 1
2:1 But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:
2 That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience.
3 The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;
4 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,
5 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
6 Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded.
7 In all things showing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine showing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,
8 Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.
9 Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please them well in all things; not answering again;
10 Not purloining, but showing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.
11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;
13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
II Timothy 2:15 Study – [ STUDY !!!! ] - to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.


II Timothy 1: 7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
8 Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God;
9 Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,
10 But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:
11 Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.
12 For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.
13 Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
