JESUS THE CHRIST MINISTRIES

The full Counsel Newsletter - No 85

IF WE CONFESS OUR SINS.. HE IS FAITHFUL AND JUST TO FORGIVE US OUR SINS AND TO CLEANSE US FROM ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS.. 1 JOHN 1:9.

LIVING IN SIN AND SINLESS LIVING.

Living in sin and sinless living .. although they sound alike are vastly different and gulfs apart. Lets call them LIS and SL.

LIS .. is a carefree and careless way of life that places God/the creator in a position where His written word is ignored, and not believed and the holy bible calls that evil . . unbelief is evil... Hebrews 3:12.

SL ... is impossible for human beings to perform and I have never read of any man of God who was sinless, save .. Jesus who was and is the Christ/God. For all were born in sin.

The written word tells us that christians will sin, one of the scriptures is quoted above for our reading and comforting. However this doesn't mean that followers of the Christ can freely live in sin, and this is where the problem begins. There has not been a correct dividing of His word when professing christians live in sin and have no guilt complex about it, guilt is a warning device designed by God to hopefully turn us from our walk to death/eternal.

When ministers teach and preach that salvation cannot be lost or OSAS - absolute predestination is the Christ's Way, I believe they are taking judgement into their own hands .. yes, they are virtually
playing God. At the same time it is these ministers and preachers that point the finger at men of God who preach obedience to God as the path to take and they call them judgemental, legalistic and sectarian.. its ridiculous! We are saved by grace through faith - obedience.

The man that preaches and teaches OSAS knows not how far a soul can continue on living in wilful sin before God no longer accepts it and because of holy ghost being continually grieved moves on ...its called finding no place for repentance! . . Hebrews 12:16,17.. Matthew 5:13.

And on the other hand, the man who preaches or teaches obedience by faith through grace know not how far a soul can go .. hence, this is why he preaches what he does .. so that men and women will not take .. so great a salvation for granted and find out in the end that they shall not escape the wrath to come or hell fire .. Hebrews 2:3, Matthew 7:22.

The quote "sinless living" (often used by 'calvinists' to slight the teaching that says 'living in known sin is damnable') is but grasping for straws by men and women who try to Defend their globalised gospel. Millions (of church goers and their leaders) will remain asleep in their beds of sin because of this compromised doctrine but this preacher refuses to be held accountable for the souls of any of the damned. I am aware that its said also that we are all accountable for our own salvation but lets not stop there. Lets go the extra mile and also mention the, word of St Peter.. 2 Peter 2:1-3.

In the scripture I just mentioned, these are the major points .. false teachers, destructive heresies, denying the Lord who .. bought them, they were bought ones that means blood bought ones, washed in the blood ones.. born again, were once saved.

It also talks about blaspheming the truth, covetousness and finally their destruction. So I rest my case concerning OSAS, till Father has me say more on the matter .. beware.. watch and pray that you may be found worthy by Him. Luke 20:35, Luke 21:36.

Amen.
