ARECWE BORN AGAIN BY INFANT BAPTISM AND GOOD WORKS??
Posted : 11 Oct, 2016 12:48 PM
THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH TEACHES:
To be born again is to be baptized in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The soul goes into the state of grace, the effects of original sin are washed away, and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit occurs. This is why infants should be baptized as soon as possible after birth.???
And ADAM7777 teaches we are born again by good works and obeying OT laws.???
BUT WHAT DOES GOD'S WORD SAY??
John 3:3: Jesus says, "I tell you the truth, no one can see the Kingdom of God unless he is **BORN AGAIN**!!"
John 1:12,13: To all who received Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God--children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision, or a husband's will, but **BORN OF GOD**!
QUESTION: Do infants receive Jesus and believe in His name???
Romans 19:8-10: The Word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart, that is, the **WORD OF FAITH** we are proclaiming: That if you **CONFESS WITH YOUR MOUTH, "Jesus is Lord," and be believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your **MOUTH** that you **CONFESS** and are saved!!
QUESTION: Do infants believe in their hearts and confess Jesus with their mouths???
I John 5:3,4: Everyone who is **BORN OF GOD** overcomes the world. This is the victory that overcomes the world, **EVEN OUR FAITH**.
QUESTION: Do infants overcome the world with their **FAITH**???
John 6:37,39,44, 65: Jesus says, "All that the Father gives Me **WILL** come to Me, and whoever comes to Me I will **NEVER** drive away!... For My Father's will is that everyone who **LOOKS TO THE SON AND BELIEVES IN HIM** shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the Last Day!... No one can come to Me **UNLESS** the Father **DRAWS** him. and I will raise him up at the Last Day!... No one can come to Me **UNLESS** the Father has **ENABLED** him!!"
QUESTION: Do infants look to the Son and believe in Him???
I Peter 1:22-25: Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the Truth so that you have sincere love for your brothers, love one another deeply from the heart. For you have be **BORN AGAIN**, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring **WORD OF GOD**. For, all men {Including popes} are like grass, all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the **WORD OF THE LORD STANDS FOREVER**. And this is the Word that was preached to you!!
QUESTION: Are infants **BORN AGAIN** through the living and enduring **WORD OF GOD** or by some Roman Catholic Priest sprinkling water on him???
ARECWE BORN AGAIN BY INFANT BAPTISM AND GOOD WORKS??

ADAM7777 teaches that we are born again by doing good works and obeying all OT laws???
"FOR THE LAW WAS GIVEN THROUGH MOSES BUT GRACE AND TRUTH CAME THROUGH JESUS CHRIST!!" JOHN 1;17
There are 613 commandments or laws of Moses. About 50 of the laws are about sacrificing thousands of animals on the temple altar for the forgiveness of sins since without the shedding of blood there can be no forgiveness of sins. When Jesus was sacrificed for the forgiveness of sins these OT laws for the sacrificing of thousands of animals was **FULFILLED** and **THEN** these sacrificial laws of Moses were completely eliminated!!
Hebrews 10:11-18: Day after day every priest performs his religious duties again and again he offers the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. But when this Priest had offered for all time **ONE SACRIFICE FOR SINS**, He sat down at the right hand of God... Because by **ONE SACRIFICE** He has made ***PERFECT FOREVER*** those who are being made holy. The Holy Spirit also testifies to us about this. First he says: "This is the covenant I will make with them after that time says the Lord. I will put My laws in their hearts, and I will write them on their minds." The he adds" Their sins and lawless acts I will remember **NO MORE**." And when these have been forgiven, there is **NO LONGER ANY SACRIFICE FOR SIN**!!
Isaiah 53:5,6: But He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon Him, and by His wounds we are healed. We all like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all!!
And so Jesus completely **FULFILLED** the Law for the sacrifices for sin!!
Matthew 5:17,18: Jesus says, "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets. I have not come to abolish them but to **FULFILL THEM**!! I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law **UNTIL EVERYTHING IS ACCOMPLISHED**!!"
Now anyone who tells you that Jesus did not change many other OT Laws is a Satanic liar!!
For example: there are about 20 Laws of Moses concerning the eating of certain animals in Leviticus 11:1--47. These laws were changed when God inspired Mark to write the book of Mark about AD 65:
IS IT OK TO EAT LOBSTER TAIL, SHRIMP AND HAM ACCORDING TO THE NT COVENANT WHICH WAS FORBIDDEN IN THE LAWS OF MOISES IN LEVITICUS 11:1-47??
Mark 7:18-23: Jesus says, "Are you so dull. Don't you see that nothing that enters a man can make him *UNCLEAN*? For it doesn't into his heart but into his stomach, and then out of his body. In saying this Jesus declared **ALL FOODS CLEAN**!" He then said: "What comes out of a man that makes him unclean. For from within, out of men's hearts, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly. All these evils come from **INSIDE** and make a man **UNCLEAN!!"
Acts 10:9-16: Peter went up on the roof to pray. He became hungry and wanted something to eat, and while the meal was being prepared, he fell into a trance. He saw heaven opened and something like a large sheet being let down to earth by the four corners. It contained all kinds of four-footed animals, as well as reptiles of the earth and birds of the air. Then a Voice told him, "Get up, Peter, kill and **EAT**!" "Surely not, Lord!" Peter replied. "I have never eaten anything impure or unclean." The Voice spoke to him a second time, "Do not call anything impure that **GOD HAS MADE CLEAN**!"{As per Mark 7:19 above) This happened **THREE TIMES**!, and the sheet was taken back to heaven!
I Timothy 4:1-5: The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. Such teachings come through **HYPOCRITICAL LIARS**, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron. They forbid people to marry and order them **TO ABSTAIN FROM CERTAIN FOODS**, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. For everything God created is good, and **NOTHING IS TO BE REJECTED** if it is received with thanksgiving, because it is consecrated by the word of God and prayer!!
I Corinthians 10:25: Eat **ANYTHING** sold in the meat market without raising questions of conscience, for, "The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it!"
Colossians 2:15,16: Therefore do not let anyone judge you by **WHAT YOU EAT** or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. These are a **SHADOW** of the things that were to come, the reality, however, is found in Christ!!
Actually TNT you have apparently forgotten that the forbidding to eat certain animals birds and fish was strictly in the OT Covenant for Jews. According to Noah's Covenant and Adam's Covenant God allowed people to eat everything with the breath of life in it!!!!!
God's First Covenant with Adam:
Genesis 1:29,30: Then God said, "give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it They will be yours for food. And to **ALL THE BEASTS OF THE EARTH** and **ALL** the birds of the air and **ALL** the creatures that move on the ground--**EVERYTHING** that has the breath of life in it..for food!"
God's Second Covenant with Noah:
Genesis 9:1-3: Then God blessed Noah and his sons, saying to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the earth. The fear and dread of you will fall upon all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air, upon every creature that moves along the ground, and upon all the fish of the sea, they are given to your hands. **EVERYTHING** that lives and moves will be **FOOD FOR YOU**!!
Romans 3:22-25,27,28: This righteousness from God comes through **FAITH** in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. God promised Him as a sacrifice of atonement , through **FAITH** in His blood!!....Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded . On what principle? On that of observing the law? No, but that of **FAITH**! For we maintain that a man is justified by **FAITH** **APART FROM OBSERVING THE LAW**!
Galatians 2:14-16: Paul said, When I saw that they were not acting in line with the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter in front of them all, "You are a Jew, yet you live like a Gentile and not like a Jew. How is it, then that you force Gentiles to follow Jewish customs? We who are Jews by birth and not 'Gentile sinners' know that a man is NOT justified by observing the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and **NOT BY OBSERVING THE LAW**, because by observing the law no one will be justified.!"
Galatians 2:20,21: The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!"
Galatians 3:10-13: "All who rely on observing the law are under a curse, for it is written "Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law." Clearly no one is justified before God by the law, because, "The righteous will live by faith." The law is not based on faith; on the contrary, "The man who does these things will live by them." Christ redeemed us from the **CURSE OF THE LAW** by becoming a curse for us!
Galatians 3:23-25: "Before faith came, we were held prisoners by the law, locked up until faith should be revealed. So the law was put in charge to lead us to Christ that we might be justified by faith. Now that faith has come, *WE* ARE NO LONGER UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF THE LAW!!"
And so the **FULLFILLMENT OF THE LAW WAS COMPLETELY ACCOMPLISHED** when the last book of Revelation was written around AD 96!!
And anyone who tells you we are now under the **SUPERVISION OF THE OT LAW** is contradicting the sacred Words of God!!

DO GOD'S BORN AGAIN FROM ABOVE SAINTS STILL SIN AFTER THEY ARE SAVED??
ADAM7777 CLAIMS THAT TRUE BELIEVERS LIKE THE APOSTLE PETER DO NOT SIN???
BUT WHAT DOES GOD'S WORD SAY???
I John1:8-10; 2:1,2: If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. If we claim we have not sinned, we make Him out to be a liar and His Word has no place in our lives!!....If anybody does sin, we have One who speaks to the Father in our defense--Jesus Christ, the Righteous One!! {ADAM7777 totally disagrees with these inspired words of God!}
Luke 10:2-4: Jesus said to **HIS DISCIPLES**, "When you pray, say: '*Father, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come. Give us each day our **DAILY** bread. **FORGIVE US OUR SINS**, for we forgive everyone who sins against us!!'" {ADAM7777 totally disagrees with these inspired words of God!!}
ADAM7777 claims that true believers do not sin??, which contradicts God's Word numerous times since God's saints are commanded to be holy as God is holy and to walk as Jesus walked in I John 2:6 and to do God's will on earth as it is in heaven as per Matthew 5:10.
Take the Apostle Peter for example:
Matthew 16:21-23: Jesus began to explain to His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things at the hands of the elders, chief priests and **TEACHERS OF THE LAW**{Like TNT}, and that He must be killed and on the third day be raised to life. Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him. "Never Lord!" he said, "This shall never happen to you!" Jesus turned and said to Peter, Get behind Me Satan! You are a stumbling block to Me, you do not have in mind the things of God, but the things of men!"
As Jesus was waiting to be tried [After being betrayed by Judas, the CHOSEN betrayer} Peter denied Jesus **THREE TIMES** as per Matthew 26:69-74!!
Matthew 26:74,75: Immediately a rooster crowed. Then Peter remembered the word Jesus had spoken, "Before the rooster crows, you will **DISOWN ME THREE TIMES**!!" And Peter went outside and wept bitterly. {Peter repented of his terrible sins!}
ADAM7777 claims that Peter did not sin when he disowned Jesus 3 times because Peter was **UNAWARE** that disowning Jesus was a sin???
However we read in Matthew 10:5,33: These 12 {including Peter!} Jesus sent out with the following instructions... Jesus said, "Whoever **DISOWNS ME** before men, I will disown him before My Father in heaven!"
Galatians 2:11-16: Paul said, "When **PETER** came to Antioch I opposed him to his face, because he was **CLEARLY IN THE WRONG**. Before certain men came from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles. But when they arrived, he began to draw back and separate himself from the Gentiles, because he was afraid of those who belonged to the circumcision group. {Like TNT} The other Jews joined him in **HIS HYPOCRISY**. When I saw that they were **NOT ACTING IN LINE WITH THE TRUTH OF THE GOSPEL**, I said to Peter in front of them all, "You are a Jew, yet you live like a Gentile and not like a Jew. How is it, then that you force Gentiles to follow Jewish customs? We who are Jews by birth and not 'Gentile sinners' know that a man is **NOT** justified by observing the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and **NOT BY OBSERVING THE LAW**, because BY OBSERVING THE LAW NO ONE WILL BE JUSTIFIED!!"
Mark 7:18-23: Jesus says, "Are you so dull. Don't you see that nothing that enters a man can make him *UNCLEAN*? For it doesn't into his heart but into his stomach, and then out of his body. In saying this Jesus declared **ALL FOODS CLEAN**!" He then said: "What comes out of a man that makes him unclean. For from within, out of men's hearts, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly. All these evils come from **INSIDE** and make a man **UNCLEAN!!"
Acts 10:9-16: *PETER* went up on the roof to pray. He became hungry and wanted something to eat, and while the meal was being prepared, he fell into a trance. He saw heaven opened and something like a large sheet being let down to earth by the four corners. It contained all kinds of four-footed animals, as well as reptiles of the earth and birds of the air. Then a Voice told him, "Get up, Peter, kill and **EAT**!" "Surely not, Lord!" Peter replied. "I have never eaten anything impure or unclean." The Voice spoke to him a second time, "Do not call anything impure that **GOD HAS MADE CLEAN**!"{As per Mark 7:19 above) This happened **THREE TIMES**!, and the sheet was taken back to heaven!
SO PETER AGAIN SINNED THREE TIMES BY STATING 3 TIMES THAT GOD HAS NOT MADE ALL FOODS CLEAN IN THE NEW COVENANT!!
HOWEVER PETER REPENTED IN Acts 15:1-11: Some men {Like TNT}} came down from Judea to Antioch and were teaching the brothers: "Unless you are circumcised, according to the custom taught by Moses, you cannot be saved." This brought Paul and Barnabas into sharp dispute and debate with them. So Paul and Barnabas were appointed, along with some other believers to go up to Jerusalem to see the apostles and elders about this question the church sent them on their way, and as they traveled through Phoenicia and Samaria, they told how the Gentiles had been converted. This news made **ALL THE BROTHERS** very glad. When they came to Jerusalem, they were **WELCOMED BY THE CHURCH AND THE APOSTLES AND ELDERS**, to whom they reported everything God had done through them. Then some of the believers who belonged to the party of the Pharisees {Like TNT} stood up and said, "The Gentiles must be circumcised and required to obey the law of Moses. The brother and elders met to consider this question. After much discussion, **PETER** got up and addressed them. "Brothers you know that some time ago God made a choice among you that the Gentiles might hear from my lips the message of the Gospel and believe. God, who knows the heart showed that the accepted them by giving the Holy Spirit to them, just as He did to us. He made no distinction between us and them, for He purified their hearts by **FAITH**. Now then, why do you try to test God by putting on the necks of the disciples a yoke that we nor our fathers have been able to bear? No! We believe it is through the **GRACE** of our Lord Jesus that we are saved as they are!"
And Peter wrote in I Peter 1:3-5,18,19: Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! IN HIS GREAT MERCY HE HAS GIVEN US NEW BIRTH** into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can **NEVER PERISH**, spoil or fade--**KEPT IN HEAVEN FOR YOU**, who **THROUGH FAITH** {A FREE GIFT OF GOD} are shielded by God's power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time!!... For you know that it was not with perishable things that you were **REDEEEMED** from the empty way of life handed down to you by your forefathers, but with the **PRECIOUS BLOOD OF CHRIST**, a Lamb without blemish or defect!! {ADAM7777 totally disagrees with these inspired words of God!!}

THE FATHER LOVES HIS FAITHFUL SAINTS JUST AS MUCH AS HE LOVES JESUS!!
John 17:23: Jesus says to His Father, "You sent Me and have **LOVED THEM** even as you **LOVED** Me!!"
JESUS LOVES HIS FAITHFUL SAINTS JUST AS MUCH AS THE FATHER LOVES HIM!!
John 15:9,10" Jesus says, "As the Father **LOVED** Me, so I have **LOVED** you!! Now remain in My **LOVE. **IF** you obey My commands, you will remain in My **LOVE**, just as I have obeyed my Father's commands and remain in His **LOVE**!"
John 14:21,23: Jesus says, "Whoever has My commands and obeys them, he is the one who **LOVES** Me! He who loves Me will be **LOVED** by My Father, and I will **LOVE** him....If anyone **LOVES** Me, he will obey My teaching. My Father will **LOVE** him, and we will come to him and make Our home with him!!"
WHAT'S **LOVE** GOT TO DO WITH IT??
I Peter 1:22: "Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere **LOVE** for your brothers, **LOVE** one another deeply, from the heart. For you have been born again... through the living and enduring Word of God!
I Corinthians 13:2,4-8: If I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not **LOVE** I am nothing...**LOVE** is patient, **LOVE** is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. **LOVE** does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. **LOVE** never fails!!"
John 13:34: Jesus says, "A NEW command I give you: **LOVE** one another As I have **LOVED** you, so you must **LOVE** one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples."
Matthew 28:19.20� Jesus commands, �Go and make disciples of all nations... teaching them to *OBEY EVERYTHING* I have commanded you!� {See I John 2:3-5}
EVERYTHING would also include all the other commands in God's inspired Word from Acts to Revelation as per 2 Timothy 3:16: 4:2: "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work...Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage--with great patience and careful instruction."
If we really **LOVE** our brothers and sister in Christ we will lovingly teach them to obey all the approximately 400 commands of the NT with **LOVE** in the hope of countless eternal rewards when Jesus comes with great power with all His angels.
Revelation 22:112: Jesus says, "Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with Me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done!?
Matthew 16:27: Jesus says, For the Son of Man is going to come in His **FATHER'S GLORY WITH HIS ANGELS**, and **THEN** He will reward each person according to what he has done."
Ephesians 4:15: "Speaking the Truth in **LOVE**, we will in all things grow up into Him who is the Head, that is, Christ! From Him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in **LOVE**, as each part does its work."
Ephesians 3:17-19: "I pray that you, being rooted and established in **LOVE** may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the **LOVE** of Christ, and to know this **LOVE** that surpasses knowledge--that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God!!"
"WE ARE SAVED BY FAITH WHICH IS THE FREE GIFT OF GOD--NOT BY WORKS SO THAT NO ONE CAN BOAST!!"
Ephesians 2:4-10: Because of His great **LOVE** for us, God,, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions--it is **BY GRACE** you have been saved! And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages He might show the incomparable riches of His grace, expressed in His kindness to us in Christ Jesus. For it is **BY GRACE** you have been saved, through faith-- and this **NOT FROM YOURSELVES**, it is the **GIFT** of God--**NOT BY WORKS**, so that no one can boast. FOR WE ARE GOD'S WORKMANSHIP, CREATED IN CHRIST JESUS TO DO **GOOD WORKS**, WHICH GOD PREPARED IN ADVANCE FOR US TO DO!!
Everyone agrees that "**FAITH** without **GOOD WORKS ** is dead!" as per James 2:17. However, the reason that God's born again from above saints do good works and make sacrifices is **NOT TO BE SAVED** but to bring **MUCH PRAISE** to our Father and Jesus Christ and to gain countless **ETERNAL REWARDS** for faithful and loving service.
Matthew 5:16: Jesus says, "Let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and **PRAISE YOUR FATHER IN HEAVEN**!!"
Matthew 16:27: Jesus says, �The Son of Man is going to come in His Father's glory with His angels and THEN He will **REWARD** each person according to what he has done!�
2 Corinthians 5:9,10: We make it our goal to please Him... for we must all appear before the Judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive **WHAT IS DUE HIM** for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.
1 Corinthians 3:13-15: His work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each man's work. If what he has built survives , he will receive his **REWARD**. If it is burned up he will suffer loss; he himself will be saved, but only as one escaping through the flames.
Colossians 3:23-25: Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a **REWARD**. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. Anyone who does wrong will be repaid for his wrong, and there is no favoritism.
I Corinthians 9:24-27: Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes in to strict training. They do it to get a **CROWN** that will not last; but we do it to get a **CROWN THAT WILL LAST FOREVER**! Therefore, I do not run like a man running aimlessly. I do not fight like a man beating the air. No, I beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize!
2 John 1:8: Watch out that you do not lose what you have worked for, but that you may be **REWARDED** fully!.
Galatians 3:23-25: "Before faith came, we were held prisoners by the law, locked up until faith should be revealed. So the law was put in charge to lead us to Christ that we might be **JUSTIFIED BY FAITH**. Now that faith has come, *WE* ARE NO LONGER UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF THE LAW!!"

**AMAZING TREASURES IN EPHESIANS**!!
Ephesians 1:3-8; 11: Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with **EVERY** spiritual blessing in Christ. For He chose us in Him before the creation of the world to be holy and **BLAMELESS** in His sight. In love He predestined us to be adopted as His sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with His pleasure and will--to the praise of His **GLORIOUS GRACE**, which He has freely given us in the One He loves. In Him we have **REDEMPTION THROUGH HIS BLOOD**, the forgiveness of sins. in accordance the riches of God's grace that He lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding.....In Him we were also **CHOSEN** having been predestined according to the plan of Him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of His will!!
Ephesians 1:19-23: That power is like the working of His mighty strength, which He exerted in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the **PRESENT AGE** but also in the one to come. And God paced **ALL THINGS** under His feet and appointed Him {Not a pope}to be the ***HEAD*** over everything for the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills everything in every way!!
Ephesians 2:4-10: Because of His great love for us, God,, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions--it is **BY GRACE** you have been saved! And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages He might show the incomparble riches of His grace, expressed in His kindness to us in Christ Jesus. For it is **BY GRACE** you have been saved, through faith-- and this **NOT FROM YOURSELVES, it is the **GIFT** of God--**NOT BY WORKS**, so that no one can boast. For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do!
Ephesians 6:7,8: Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not men, because you know that the Lord will **REWARD** everyone for whatever good he does! SALVATION IS 100 PERCENT FREE AND REWARDS ARE 100 PERCENT EARNED!!
Ephesians 3:16-19: I pray that out of His glorious riches He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established **IN LOVE**, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the **LOVE OF CHRIST**, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge--that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God!.
Ephesians 4:7; 11-16; But to each one of us grace has been given as Christ apportioned it.... It is **HE** {**NOT** the Church} who gives some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ, may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of men in their deceitful scheming. Instead, speaking the **TRUTH IN LOVE**, we will in all things grow up into Him who is the **HEAD**, that is Christ {**NOT** a pope!} From Him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work!!

For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do!
Ephesians 6:7,8: Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not men, because you know that the Lord will **REWARD** everyone for whatever good he does! SALVATION IS 100 PERCENT FREE AND REWARDS ARE 100 PERCENT EARNED!!
Ephesians 3:16-19: I pray that out of His glorious riches He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established **IN LOVE**, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the **LOVE OF CHRIST**, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge--that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God!.
Ephesians 4:7; 11-16; But to each one of us grace has been given as Christ apportioned it.... It is **HE** {**NOT** the Church} who gives some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ, may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of men in their deceitful scheming. Instead, speaking the **TRUTH IN LOVE**, we will in all things grow up into Him who is the **HEAD**, that is Christ {**NOT** a pope!} From Him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work!!

**AMAZING TREASURES IN EPHESIANS**!!
Ephesians 1:3-8; 11: Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with **EVERY** spiritual blessing in Christ. For He chose us in Him before the creation of the world to be holy and **BLAMELESS** in His sight. In love He predestined us to be adopted as His sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with His pleasure and will--to the praise of His **GLORIOUS GRACE**, which He has freely given us in the One He loves. In Him we have **REDEMPTION THROUGH HIS BLOOD**, the forgiveness of sins. in accordance the riches of God's grace that He lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding.....In Him we were also **CHOSEN** having been predestined according to the plan of Him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of His will!!
Ephesians 1:19-23: That power is like the working of His mighty strength, which He exerted in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the **PRESENT AGE** but also in the one to come. And God paced **ALL THINGS** under His feet and appointed Him {Not a pope}to be the ***HEAD*** over everything for the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills everything in every way!!
Ephesians 2:4-10: Because of His great love for us, God,, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions--it is **BY GRACE** you have been saved! And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages He might show the incomparble riches of His grace, expressed in His kindness to us in Christ Jesus. For it is **BY GRACE** you have been saved, through faith-- and this **NOT FROM YOURSELVES, it is the **GIFT** of God--**NOT BY WORKS**, so that no one can boast.

WHAT DOES GOD'S WORD SAY WILL HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE??
Revelation 1:1-3,19: The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants what must take place. He made it known by sending His angel to His servant John, who testifies to everything he saw--that is, the Word of God and the Testimony of Jesus Christ. Blessed is the one who reads the words of this Prophecy, and blessed are those who her it take to heart what is written in it.... Jesus said to John, "Write, therefore, what you have seen, what is now {Chapters 2&3} and WHAT WILL TAKE PLACE LATER!!"{The Rest of Revelation!}
Revelation 22:16,18,19: "I, Jesus, have sent My angel to give you this testimony for the churches.... I warn everyone who hears the words of the Prophecy of this Book. If anyone {like Louie} **ADDS** anything to them, God will add to him the plague described in this Book {{Which includes eternal hell} And if anyone **TAKES WORDS AWAY**{Like Louie} from this Book of Prophecy, God will take away from him his share in the Tree of Life and in the Holy City {The New Jerusalem}which are described in this Book!!"
Revelation states that the next end-time prophecy we should be looking for is a 42-month Great Tribulation when 666 and his false prophet will rule every nation and tribe in the world from the evil city on 7 hills until the 2nd Coming of Jesus on the Last Day when the saints and lost will be resurrected. And then the saints will then reign with Jesus and His Father in the New Heavens and New Earth and the Heavenly New Jerusalem for ever and ever!!
Revelation 13:5-8: The beast will be given to exercise his authority for 42 {30-day) months {Or 1260 days}.. He will be given power to make war against the saints and to conquer them. And he will be given authority over **EVERY** tribe, people, language and nation. All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast--all whose names have not been written in the Book of Life belonging to the *LAMB* who was slain.
Revelation 17:14: They will make war against the *LAMB* but the *LAMB* will overcome them because He is Lord of lords and King of kings--and with Him will be His called, chosen and faithful followers!!
WE ARE ALL WAITING FOR THE NEW EARTH, THE NEW HEAVENS AND THE **HEAVENLY** NEW JERUSALEM!!
Revelation 21:1-5: Then I saw a New heaven and a New Earth, for the {present} first heaven and first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City, the **NEW JERUSALEM**, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and He will live with them. They will be His people, and God Himself will be with them. They will be His people, and God Himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes, There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away." He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making **EVERYTHING NEW**!" Then He said, "Write this down, for these words are TRUSTWORTHY and TRUE!"
2 Peter 3:10-13: But the Day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will DISAPPEAR with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and *EVERYTHING* in it will be burned up {NIV}. Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives as you wait eagerly for the Day of God to come. {NIV} That Day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat. But in keeping with His promise **WE** {Excluding Louie and the RC church} are looking forward to a New heavens and a New Earth, the home of righteousness.
Revelation 22:1-6: Then the angel showed me the river of the Water of Life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and the Lamb {Jesus} down the middle of the great street of the City. On each side of the river stood the Tree of Life, bearing 12 crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month... The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the City, and his servants will serve Him. They will see His face and His name will be on their foreheads. There will be no more night!! They will not need the light of the lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign for ever and ever. The angel said to me, �These words are TRUSTWORTHY and TRUE!!�

WE ARE SAVED BY FAITH WHICH IS THE FREE GIFT OF GOD--NOT BY WORKS SO THAT NO ONE CAN BOAST!!"
Titus 3:3,4: At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. But when the kindness and **LOVE** of God our Savior appeared , he saved us, **NOT BECAUSE OF RIGHTEOUS THINGS WE HAD DONE**, but because of **HIS MERCY**!!
Romans 11:5,6: At the present time there is a remnant **CHOSEN BY GRACE**! And if by grace it is **NO LONGER BY WORKS**; if it were, grace would no longer be grace!!
Romans 9:30-32: What then shall we say? That the Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have obtained it, a righteousness that is **BY FAITH**; but Israel, who pursued a law of righteousness, has not attained it Why not? Because they pursued it **NOT BY FAITH** but as it were by works!!
Romans 4:5-8: To the man who does not work but trusts God who justifies the wicked, **HIS FAITH** is credited as righteousness. David says the same thing when he speaks of the blessedness of the man to whom God credits righteousness **APART FROM WORKS**: "Blessed are they whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered. Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord will **NEVER COUNT AGAINST HIM**!!" {Psalm 32:1,2}
Ephesians 1:5-8: In love He predestined us to be adopted as His sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with His pleasure and will--to the praise of His **GLORIOUS GRACE**, which He has freely given us in the One He loves. In Him we have **REDEMPTION THROUGH HIS BLOOD**, the **FORGIVENESS OF SINS**, in accordance with the riches of God's grace that He lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding!
Ephesians 2:4-10: Because of His great love for us, God,, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions--it is **BY GRACE** you have been saved! And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages He might show the incomparable riches of His grace, expressed in His kindness to us in Christ Jesus. For it is **BY GRACE** you have been saved, through faith-- and this **NOT FROM YOURSELVES**, it is the **GIFT** of God--**NOT BY WORKS**, so that no one can boast. For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do!!
John 3:3: Jesus says, I tell you the Truth, no one can see the Kingdom of God **UNLESS HE IS BORN AGAIN!!"
John 1:12,13: To all who received Him, to those who believed in His name, he gave the right to become children of God--children born not of natural descent, **NOR OF A HUMAN DECISION** or a husband's will but, **BORN OF GOD**!!
John 6:37,39,44,65: Jesus says, "**ALL** that the Father gives Me **WILL** come to Me, and whoever comes to Me I will **NEVER** drive away... And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that I shall **LOSE NONE** of all that He has given Me, but raise them up at the Last Day.... No one can come to Me **UNLESS** the Father who sent Me **DRAWS HIM**, and I will raise him up at the Last Day!!... No one can come to Me **UNLESS** the Father has **ENABLED THEM**!!"
Romans 829-33,35,38,39: For those God foreknew He also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of His Son...And those He **PREDESTINED**, He also called; those He **CALLED**, He also justified; those He **JUSTIFIED** He also **GLORIFIED**. What shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His Son but gave Him up for us all--how will He not also give us all things? Who will bring any charge against those **WHOM GOD HAS CHOSEN**? It is God who justifies. Who is he who condemns... Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?... For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels or demons, neither the present or the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord!!

WHAT CAN THE SAINTS EXPECT SHORTLY BEFORE THE BEGINNING OF THE 1260-DAY GREAT TRIBULATION AS PER MATTHEW 24:4-7; MARK 13:5-8 AND LUKE 21:8-11:
Matthew 24:3 The disciples asked Jesus, "What will be the sign of Your Coming and of the end of this age?"
Jesus says, �Many will come in My Name claiming, 'I am the Christ' and the 'Time is near!' You will hear of wars and rumors of wars and revolutions. Nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom. There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places; and fearful events and great signs from heaven.�
WHAT CAN THE SAINTS EXPECT 3 1/2 DAYS BEFORE THE BEGINNING OF THE 1260-DAY GREAT TRIBULATION??
As we have shown in Revelation 11 God's 2 Witnesses {Moses & Elijah} will prophesy for 1260 days and then they will be killed by 666 3 1/2 days before the Resurrection on the Last Day. And so God's 2 witnesses will come to earth exactly 1263 1/2 days before the Last Day which would be exactly 3 1/2 days before the beginning of the 1260-day Great Tribulation when they will warn God's saints of the coming of Satan, 666 {Nero Caesar} and his False Prophet {Obama??}.
Just before the coming of 666 and the 1260-day or 42-month Great Tribulation in Revelation 13:1 we read in Rev 12:17; 13:1,5,7: Then the dragon {Satan} was enraged at the woman {Sarah} and went off to make war against the rest of her offspring--THOSE WHO OBEY GOD'S COMMANDMENTS AND HOLD TO THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS!!" And the dragon {Satan} stood on the shore of the sea. And I saw Beast {666} coming out of the Sea {Or Abyss or Hell as per Rev 11:7 & 17:8 & Luke 8:31}.....The Beast will exercise his authority for 42 months..... He will be given power to make war against the saints and to conquer them. And he will be given authority over **EVERY** tribe, people, language and nation.
And so according to Rev 12:6,14 Satan will attack some of God's saints but they will be protected in God's sanctuary in the wilderness for 1260 days. Then in Rev 12:17 Satan will attack the rest of God's saints �WHO OBEY GOD'S COMMANDMENTS AND HOLD TO THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS� **just before** the coming of 666 and the beginning of the 1260-day or 42-month Great Tribulation as shown in Revelation 13:1-5.
WHAT CAN SAINTS EXPECT IN THE FIRST WEEK OF THE 1260-DAY GREAT TRIBULATION??
According to Revelation 13:5,7,8: The Beast {666} will have authority over **EVERY** tribe people nation and language in the world for 42 months {1260 days} and everyone whose name is not written in the Lamb's Book of Life will worship 666. 666 is called �THE BEAST� 36 {6x6} times in Revelation .
Question: How will the Beast {Nero Caesar-666} and His False Prophet gain control of every nation of the world in the first week of the 1260-day Tribulation?? According to Daniel 7:24b a Roman King will subdue 3 kings. Rev 6:8; �There before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, {666} and Hades {The False prophet who will cause people to go to hell or hades with the mark of 666} was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.�
NOTE: China, India and Russia are 3 kingdoms that make up a fourth of the earth!
Rev 13:4: Men worshiped the dragon {Satan} because he had given authority to the Beast {666} and they also worshiped the beast and asked, �Who is like the Beast? Who can make war against him?� Immediately after miraculously conquering 3 kingdoms or one fourth of the earth 666 will appoint 10 kings who had never before ruled over the 10 most powerful kingdoms of the earth.
Rev 17:12-14: The 10 horns you saw {On 666} are 10 kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but will give their authority as kings along with the Beast {666}. They have one purpose and will give their authority to the Beast {666}. They will make war against the Lamb but the Lamb will overcome them {On the Last Day} because He is King of kings and Lord of lords.� {See Rev 19:20,21}
The following 10 powerful nations have OVER 50% OF THE WORLD'S POPULATION and ABOUT 70% OF THE WORLD'S MILITARY POWER and certainly have the military, political and �religious� power to control and rule all the nations of the world: #1. United States #2. Russia #3. China {1.3 Billion} #4. Great Britain #5. France #6. India {1.1 Billion} #7. Germany #8. Japan #9. Brazil #10. Egypt. Brazil borders every nation in South America except for Chile. Egypt is the university, intellectual and theological center of Islam. And then 666 will have �authority over every tribe, people, language and nation� as per Rev 13:7b, from his headquarters in the evil city on 7 hills or Rome. The idea that 666 will choose a European Union of 10 nations with about 5 % of the world's population and about 10 % of the world's military power to control the world just because these nations are close to Rome is just an idea which is not supported by God's Word.
Revelation 13:14-17: �He {The False Prophet} will deceive the inhabitants of the earth. He will order them to set up an image in honor of the Beast {666} who was wounded by the sword {On June 9th AD 68} and yet lived {Nero Caesar?}. He will have power to give breath to the image of the first Beast {666}, so that it could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed.� �He {The False Prophet} will force everyone... to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast {NERO CAESAR?} or the number of his name 666.
Since these 2 world-wide laws: To worship the statue of 666 {Possibly on TV and the Internet} or be killed; and not being able to buy or sell anything; there will be a huge falling away among most of the people who claim to be Christians but are not the Called, the Chosen and the Faithful {See Revelation 17:14}. Moses and Elijah will begin their 1260-day testimony {Rev 11:3} 3 1/2 days before the coming of 666 & the 1260-day Great Tribulation and 1263 1/2 days before the Last Day. {****THE FIRST END-TIME EVENT****} Moses and Elijah will certainly warn God's saints of the coming of 666 and his False Prophet.
In Matthew 24:3,9-13: The disciples asked Jesus, �What will be the sign of your Coming and the end of the age?? Jesus answered�.. {During the 1260-day Great Tribulation} �Then *YOU* will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and *YOU will be hated by all nations **BECAUSE OF ME**. At that time many will turn away from the Faith and will betray and hate each other, and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of *MOST will grow cold, but he {The Called, Chosen & Faithful�Revelation 17:14} who stands firm to the **END** will be saved.� Rev 2:10: Jesus says, �Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give you the Crown of Life!�
God will miraculously take care of His Faithful and Courageous Tribulation Saints {Just as he took care of the Israelites for 40 years in the Wilderness} even though they won�t be able to buy or sell anything as per Rev 13:17a. {See Matthew 6:25-34 where storing up items are forbidden} There are a few Post-Tribbers such as Jim Bakker who are teaching that we should store up at least a year's supply of food for the Great Tribulation which is a direct contradiction to God's Word in Matthew 6:25-34. God's NT saints will go through the Great Tribulation without suffering the wrath of God, as did the OT saints in Egypt when God sent many horrific plagues on Egyptians because of Pharoah.
Matthew 6:31-34: Jesus says, �Do not worry, saying, �What shall we eat?� or �What shall we drink?� or �What shall we wear?� For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own!�
Luke 21�12-17: Jesus says, They will lay hands on you and persecute you. They will deliver you to prisons, and you will be brought before kings and governors, and all on account of My Name. This will result in your being witnesses to them. But make up your mind not to worry beforehand how you will defend yourselves. For I will give you words and wisdom that none of your adversaries will be able to resist or contradict. You will be betrayed even by parents, brothers, relatives and friends. And they will put some of you to death. All men will hate you because of Me.
Matthew 24:23-25: Jesus says, �At that time if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!' or, 'There he is!' do not believe it. For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect�if that were possible. See, I have told you ahead of time.� {See Rev 13:14,15 and 2 Thess 2:9-12}
I Peter 1:13: �Therefore, prepare your minds for ACTION, and set your hope *FULLY* on the grace to be given YOU when Jesus Christ is *REVEALED*.
And so those who love Jesus and obey His commands will be ready for the 1260-day coming Great Tribulation which may be very very close!!
Matthew 24:29-31: Jesus says, "Immediately after the distress of these {1260} days the sun will be darkened and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky; and the heavenly bodies will be shaken. At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and all of the nations of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky, with power and great glory. And He will send His angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather His elect from the 4 winds , from one end of the heavens to the other!" Luke 21:28 adds "When these things begin to take place , stand up and lift up your hands, because your redemption is drawing near!!"

The Roman Catholic Church teaches: As far as heaven and Earth passing, *THEY DO NOT PASS*???. God holds the Earth in existence because he has a use for it. This is clear in the Glory Be prayer: �Glory be to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be. *WORLD WITHOUT END*???. Amen.�
The Roman Catholic Church believes that the present **WORLD IS WITHOUT END**which is a phrase only found in a Roman Catholic prayer and disagrees with countless statements found in the inspired Word of God!!
Isaiah 65:13,17: This is what the Sovereign Lord says"... "Behold, I will create **NEW HEAVENS AND A NEW EARTH**. The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind!!"
John 18:36: Jesus says, My Kingdom is **NOT OF THIS WORLD**. If it were My servants would fight to prevent My arrest by the Jews. But now My Kingdom is from **ANOTHER PLACE!!"
Hebrews 12:26-29: The Lord says, "Once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens." The words "once more" indicate the removing of what cannot be shaken--that is, created things--so that what cannot be shaken may remain. Therefore, since we are receiving a Kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptable with reverence and awe, for our God is a consuming fire!
WE ARE ALL WAITING FOR THE NEW EARTH, THE NEW HEAVENS AND THE **HEAVENLY** NEW JERUSALEM!!
NOTE** The present earth is covered with 70 percent salt sea water with millions of sharks who maime and kill people. The present earth has thorns and thistles and many poisonous snakes like Cobras and lions and tigers who maime and kill people!
Revelation 21:1-5: Then I saw a New heaven and a New Earth, for the {present} first heaven and first earth had passed away, and there was **NO LONGER ANY SEA**. I saw the Holy City, the **NEW JERUSALEM**, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and He will live with them. They will be His people, and God Himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes, There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away." He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making **EVERYTHING NEW**!" Then He said, "Write this down, for these words are TRUSTWORTHY and TRUE!"
2 Peter 3:10-13: But the Day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will DISAPPEAR with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and *EVERYTHING* in it will be burned up {NIV}. Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives as you wait eagerly for the Day of God to come. {NIV} That Day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat. But in keeping with His promise **WE** {Excluding the RC church} are looking forward to a New heavens and a New Earth, the home of righteousness.
Revelation 22:1-6: Then the angel showed me the river of the Water of Life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and the Lamb {Jesus} down the middle of the great street of the City. On each side of the river stood the Tree of Life, bearing 12 crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month... The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the City, and his servants will serve Him. They will see His face and His name will be on their foreheads. There will be **NO MORE NIGHT**!! They will **NOT NEED** the light of the lamp or the light of **THE SUN**, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign for ever and ever. The angel said to me, �These words are TRUSTWORTHY and TRUE!!�
Revelation 1:1-3,19: The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants what must take place. He made it known by sending His angel to His servant John, who testifies to everything he saw--that is, the Word of God and the Testimony of Jesus Christ. Blessed is the one who reads the words of this Prophecy, and blessed are those who her it take to heart what is written in it.... Jesus said to John, "Write, therefore, what you have seen, what is now {Chapters 2&3} and WHAT WILL TAKE PLACE LATER!!"{The Rest of Revelation!}
Revelation 22:16,18,19: "I, Jesus, have sent My angel to give you this testimony for the churches.... I warn everyone who hears the words of the Prophecy of this Book. If anyone {like the RC Church} **ADDS** anything to them, God will add to him the plague described in this Book. And if anyone **TAKES WORDS AWAY**{Like the RC Church} from this Book of Prophecy, God will take away from him his share in the Tree of Life and in the Holy City {The New Jerusalem}which are described in this Book!!"
And so the Roman Catholic Church which continually claims that the present **WORLD IS WITHIOUT END** are guilty of the Unpardonable Sin of **ADDING** and **TAKING WORDS AWAY** from the prophecies in the book of Revelation!!
HIS FAITHFUL SAINTS JUST AS MUCH AS HE LOVES
