Focusing on this worlds understanding of rewards means we are not loving in Gods love, who loves others not Himself, but the wisdom of this world understands only what is for themselves, but that will not be the way for the followers of Christ who did have to die to help us live, and many follow the ways of this world to gain things, but the meanings are revealed..
2 Peter 2:2 And MANY FOLLOW THEIR PERNICIOUS WAYS; by reason of whom THE WAY OF TRUTH SHALL BE EVIL SPOKEN OF.
3 And THROUGH COVETEOUSNESS shall they with feigned words MAKE MERCHANDISE OF YOU: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.
Jude 1:4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ORDAINED TO THIS CONDEMNATION, UNGODLY MEN, TURNING THE GRACE OF OUR GOD INTO LASCIVIOUSNESS, and DENYING the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
Eternal Heavenly rewards for helping the poor is not what man wishes it should be..
Godliness is a mystery to man, but chastening comes every morning because of Gods Kingdom being within us, not for the evil we do, but for receiving the good, and that is our reward, rewarded with the Lord, although the persecution is no value to the ungodly.
When we give to the poor, what is being done? It is the Lord that we lend to, as it is the Lord that loves. We need to keep and walk in the love of the Lord, His Spirit is Holy which man sees through darkened unenlightened eyes..
Proverbs 19:17 He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the Lord; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.
Psalm 73:1 Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart.
2 But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped.
3 For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
4 For there are no bands in their death: but their strength is firm.
5 They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued like other men.
6 Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence covereth them as a garment.
7 Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish.
8 They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they speak loftily.
9 They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth.
10 Therefore his people return hither: and waters of a full cup are wrung out to them.
11 And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most High?
12 Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in riches.
13 Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocency.
14 For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every morning.
15 If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend against the generation of thy children.
16 When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me;
17 Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end.
18 Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them down into destruction.
REWARDS IN HEAVEN?
Note, eternal life is in glory, the riches in Heaven are the glory of the Lord, your reward shall be what?
Isaiah 58:8 Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the GLORY OF THE LORD shall be thy REWARD
We do not declare what we look forward to, we declare all the works of the Lord, all is done for Him, but man does all he shows, for his own self and pleasure seeker which proves their self glory they speak nothing of the glory of the Lord and are trapped as meant to be snared :)..
Psalm 73:23 Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand.
24 Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, AND AFTERWARD RECEIVE ME TO GLORY.
25 Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee.
26 My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.
27 For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that go a whooring from thee.
28 But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord God, that I may declare all thy works.
Revelation 4:11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
Jeremiah 8:9 The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken: lo, they have rejected the word of the Lord; and what wisdom is in them?
2 Peter 3:16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
Prophetic mentions crowns, mans understanding of crown is to receive a corrupt one, mans understanding of God is corrupt,� but the crown is of thorns and Christ crucified is the true preaching. their confession is they do not keep under their body and cant cease from sins, yet want you to follow the pernicious contentious selfish way they portray in Gods name..
Matthew 27:29 And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!
1 Timothy 6:15 Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;
1 Corinthians 1:23 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;
1 Corinthians 9:25 And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.
26 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:
27 But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.
1 Peter 4:1 Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath CEASED FROM SIN;
2 Peter 2:12 But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, SPEAK EVIL OF THE THINGS THAT THEY UNDERSTAND NOT; and shall utterly perish in their OWN CORRUPTION;
13 And shall RECEIVE THE REWARD OF UNRIGHTEOUSNESS, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, SPORTING THEMSELVES with their own DECEIVING S while they FEAST WITH YOU;
14 Having eyes full of adultery, AND THAT CANNOT CEASE FROM SIN; BEGUILING UNSTABLE souls: an heart they have EXERCISED WITH COVETOUS PRACTICES; cursed children:
15 Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who LOVED THE WAGES OF UNRIGHTEOUSNESS;
Charity as told and exampled by the Holy Apostles of God, suffer long, are kind, have no envy, do not exalt themselves, are not self seeking, think no evil and then can do no evil, always rejoicing in the truth that overcomes the lie of iniquity, they in charity bear all, by believing in all, and through hope for all things they endure their cross.|The Holy Apostles never failed, but all who accuse them and show they do not walk after the way presented by Christ will vanish away as they are only wind..
1 Corinthians 13:4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
8 Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
It is common for evil men to accuse the Holy ones of God, but they can show nothing, God gives perfect examples, and the imperfect mind of man cannot comprehend as darkness cannot comprehend the light. The promises for us to believe in and receive through faith, to be art of the divine nature of the Lord God's holiness, when we escape the corruption and lust of this worlds level of cleanness. Through dilligence dd to that faith in Christ virtue, as the Apostles did all healing through virtue, and full knowledge of Christ, not part as deceivers try to impart to us, temperant in ALL THINGS..Galatians 5:23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. 24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. True patience of Christ..2 Corinthians 6:4 But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses, 2 Timothy 3:10 But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience, godliness and kindness and charity, seen in the Apostles, and their accusers claim they never had it..
2 Peter 1:4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
5 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
6 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
7 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
8 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.
10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:
11 For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
Dead to sin, false teachers say they are alive in sin. baptized into the death of the Lord Jesus, dead in oldness of the letter and sin, alive in newness of life, joining Him to be dead to sin in the likeness of HIs death and now in the likeness of His resurrection, crucified and dead to sin and the old body of sin is destroyed and freed from sin, apart from prophetic and same thinkers)
Romans 6:What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
7 For he that is dead is freed from sin.
Prophetic knows not, that we serve one master not two masters, he obeys the master of sin as confeses he commits regular sins, and sin is unto death, and obedience is unto righteousness. When serving sin you do zero righteousness. After you are made free from sin, you serve righteousness, only when free from sin are you servants to God and your fruit to holiness, when free from righteousness you had zero fruit of righteousness, and when free from sin you have zero fruit of unrighteousness and unholiness, (prophetic and deceivers must avoid the teaching of righteousness) The gift of grace is life through Jesus Christ our Lord if you no longer receive the wages of sin which are your death in the sins we commit..
Romans 6:16-23 Know ye
not that to whom ye yield yourself servants to obey, his
servants you are to whom you obey, whether of sin unto
death, or of obedience unto righteousness. You were the
servants of sin, but now obey from the heart that form of
doctrine that was delivered to you. Being made free from sin
you became the servants of righteousness. Before your
members are yielded
� servants to uncleaness, and iniquity unto iniquity, after
you are servants to righteousness to holiness. For when you
were the servants of sin you were free from righteousness,
what fruit did you have in those shameful things? For the
end of those things is death, but now being made free from
sin and become servants to God ye have your fruit unto
holiness and the end is everlasting life, for the wages of
sin is death, but the gift of God is life through Jesus
Christ our Lord.
It is clear why Christ took our sins on His cross, so we be dead to sins and then live unto and through righteousness. Not so clear to the deceivers who teach an unrighteousness opinion, without showing how we change, as Peter was shown to us to be completely transformed and changed, and the righteous are rarely saved and the sinners who are ungodly are nowhere, and then we suffer instead of answer our lusts as we keep our souls in well doing, not in imagination or by being not transformed and new..
1 Peter 2:24 Christ bore our sins on the tree that we being dead
unto sins should live unto righteousness. 1 Peter 4:18-19 If
judgement first begin at the house of God what will be the
end of them that obey not the gospel? And if the righteous
are scarcely saved where will the sinner and the ungodly
appear? So them that suffer according to the will of God
commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing.
Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Prophetic self opinion and confession( for himself) is that it is impossible for him to walk as Jesus walked, as he sins daily, the word confirms exactly this, but also confirms it is possible for the ones born of God in this mind of Christ..1 Corinthians 2:16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? but we have the mind of Christ.
UNRIGHTEOUSNESS REWARD AND BELIEF WHO CANNOT CEASE FROM SIN, IMPOSSIBLE AS PROPHETIC CONFESSES FOR HIM, FOR HIS WAY AND HIS BELIEFS AND HIS GOSPEL..
2 Peter 2:13 And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you;
14 Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:
DEAD IN THE FLESH SUFFERED IN THE FLESH REALLY HAS CEASED FROM SIN, NO MORE LUSTS TO MEN, NOW TO THE HOLY WILL OF GOD OUR TRUE SANCTIFICATION
1 Peter 4:4 Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;
2 That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.
**WE KNOW THAT WE HAVE COME TO KNOW HIM IF WE **KEEP HIS COMMANDS**!! I John 2:3
Matthew 28:18-20: Jesus says, "All authority in heaven and **ON EARTH** has been given to **ME**! Therefore go and make disciples of all nations... teaching them to **OBEY EVERYTHING I HAVE COMMANDED YOU**!! And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age!"
Hebrews 5:9 Jesus became the source of salvation for **ALL WHO **OBEY** HIM**!
James 1:22-25: Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves.**DO WHAT IT SAYS**! Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror and after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. But whoever looks into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it--not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it--they will be blessed in what they do!
Luke 11:27,28: As Jesus was saying these things, a woman in the crowd called out, "Blessed is the mother who gave You birth and nursed You." Jesus replied, Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and **OBEY IT**!"
I John 2:1-5: Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world. We know that we have come to know Him **IF WE KEEP HIS COMMANDS**! Whoever says, "I know Him," but does not do what He commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person. But if anyone **OBEYS HIS WORD**, love for God is truly made complete in them. This is how we know we are in Him!
John 14:21,23,24: Jesus says, "Whoever has My commands and **KEEPS THEM** is the one who loves Me... Anyone who loves Me will **OBEY MY TEACHING**, My Father will love them, and We will come to them and make Our home with them. Anyone who does not love Me will not obey My teaching.
I Corinthians 9:21: I am not free from God's law but **AM UNDER **CHRIST'S LAW**!!
John 15:10,14: Jesus says, "If you **KEEP MY COMMANDS**, you will remain in My love... My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends. You are My friends if you do what I command!!"
Acts 5:32: God exalted to Him to His own right hand as Prince and Savior that He might bring Israel to repentance and forgive their sins. We are witnesses to these things and so is the **HOLY SPIRIT**, **WHOM GOD HAS GIVEN TO THOSE **WHO OBEY HIM**!
I John 3:24: The one who **KEEPS GOD'S COMMANDS** lives in Him, and He in them And this is how we know He lives in us. We know it by the Spirit He gave us!!
John 5:2,3: This is how we know that we love the children of God: by loving God and **CARRYING OUT HIS COMMANDS**. In fact, this is love for God: to **KEEP HIS COMMANDS**! And His commands are not burdensome!
I John 1:8-10: If we claim to be without sin {Like Joyce Meyer and Adam7777}, 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 {Like Adam7777} WE MAKE HIM OUT TO BE A LIAR AND HIS WORD IS NOT IN US**!!
Luke 11:1-4: The **DISCIPLES** asked Jesus, "Lord teach as to pray." Jesus replied **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 also forgive everyone who sins against us!'" {Adam7777, Joyce Meyer and Satan refuse to ask forgiveness for their sins!}
Matthew 4:4: Jesus says, "Man shall live by **EVERY WORD** that comes from the mouth of God!!"
Peter BEFORE BORN AGAIN, savoured the things of men, not the things of God. Peter wanted Jesus to not lay His life down for the world. Jesus showed to Peter and to us all, we cannot save our life or we lose it, we need to take up our cross and deny ourselves. Peter denied knowing Jesus because Jesus said all the sheep will be scattered when the shepherd is smitten.
Matthew 16:22 Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee.
23 But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.
24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.
Mark 14:72 And the second time the cockerel crew. And Peter called to mind the word that Jesus said unto him, Before the cockerel crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. And when he thought thereon, he wept.
The Apostles WHEN BORN AGAIN received power after the Holy Ghost came upon them, then they are witnesses, (not denying Christ) confessing Christ in Jerusalem and Judaea. Peter and the Apostles were gathered together in a room, and they had fear of the Jews, and Christ breathed on them the Holy Ghost which transformed them, and now they seek not to save their lives as Peter trying to save the life of Jesus, now they deny through the Holy Ghost themselves and their own lives...
John 20:19 Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
20 And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord.
21 Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.
22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:
23 Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.
WHEN BORN AGAIN....
Acts 1:8 But ye SHALL RECEIVE POWER, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
Acts 1:13 And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James.
Now all repent like the example shown to us, we do nothing the way we do before we receive the power of the Holy Ghost being BORN AGAIN, remaining in our iniquities is not being cleaned of our unrighteousness..
Acts 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord.
Acts 3:26 Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities.
Peter did terrible and wrong when denying the Lord, and we also are terrible if we remain denying the Lord. Peter filled with the Holy Ghost now does the completely new way, preaches to Jerusalem, to the ones who murdered Christ, showing that Peter is now Bold in the Lord, no longer fearing the Jews is the evident change through receiving the Holy Ghost..
Acts 4:8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,
9 If we this day be examined of the good deed done to the impotent man, by what means he is made whole;
10 Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole.
11 This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.
12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
13 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.
Peter is clearly transformed BORN AGAIN, who can not see the difference of Peter when denying and Peter when confessing Christ? We see the difference in Apostle Pau'ls ways when he is so changed his name was changed from Saul...
Acts 4:17 But that it spread no further among the people, let us straitly threaten them, that they speak henceforth to no man in this name.
18 And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.
19 But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye.
20 For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.
Boldness to speak was granted to the Holy Apostles, we are to not continue in the sins but now live in obedience of righteousness....
Acts 4:29 And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word,
30 By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus.
31 And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness.
Peter did sin daily, he was a sinful man, and when the command came to walk as Jesus walked, to lay his life down and stop hiding, Peter transformed and BORN AGAIN did walk completelty differently as we seen, why would Peter ask forgiveness when now he can be Holy on the Holy Spirit being bold and not fearing what man can do to him any more?
"**HOWEVER, WE ARE COMMANDED TO WALK AS JESUS WALKED {SEE JOHN 2:6} AND TO BE HOLY AS GOD IS HOLY, WHICH IS IMPOSSIBLE, AND SO WE SIN DAILY. AND WE SHOULD **DAILY** ASK GOD TO FORGIVE US OUR SINS AND PURIFY US FROM ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS**!!"
Now take into account the truth and all information, Peter did deny Christ, faring for his own life and for Christ to lose His life. Peter was not able to fear ||God and stop fearing man himself. Who denies Christ is a liar, and who confesses and acknowledges Him has the Father also. Peter given the Holy Spirit, and BORN AGAIN then in boldness confesses Christ no longer denying him and the ones who teach we still deny him are the liar as told..
Matthew 10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
Matthew 10:32 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.
33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.
1 John 2:22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.
Can the one who says it is impossible to be Holy like the Lord and to walk like Christ and acknowledges no complete change in Peter denying to confessing Christ to the murderers confess their wrong and sin? They say they teach no wrong and prove thy lie and have not the word of the Lord in them..
1 John 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
It is proven to the world Peter denied Christ then confessed Christ, only after receiving the Holy Ghost he was TRANSFORMED AND BORN AGAIN. there is not another Gospel showing Peter not walking as Christ, because now he did...
1 John 2:4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
6 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.
Then we see the message is given to us, to do as those examples of Apostle Peter and Apostle Paul..
1 John 3:3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.
6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.
7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
8 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.
God provided the accusers and the reason why they accuse, they accuse the Apostles because they confess, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR THEM TO WALK AS JESUS WALKED, IMPOSSIBLE FOR THEM TO CEASE FROM SIN
2 Peter 2:13 And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you;
14 Having eyes full of adultery, and THAT CANNOT CEASE FROM SIN; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:
BORN OF GOD DO NOT COMMIT SIN AND HE CANNOT SIN BECAUSE HE IS BORN OF GOD..
1 John 3:9 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.
10 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.
SUFFER IN THE FLESH AS PETER CHANGED AND SUFFERED AND POSSIBLE FOR THE BELIEVERS TO CEASE FROM SIN..
1 Peter 4:1 Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh HATH CEASED FROM SIN;
2 That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.
3 For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries:
4 Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you:
They are not afraid to speak evil of the Holy Apostles, they are falae accusers and are despisers of those that ARE GOOD..
2 Peter 2:10 But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.
Jude 1:8 Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.
2 Timothy 3:3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of THOSE THAT ARE GOOD,
"Peter did terrible and wrong when denying the Lord, and we also are terrible if we remain denying the Lord. Peter filled with the Holy Ghost now does the completely new way, preaches to Jerusalem, to the ones who murdered Christ, showing that Peter is now Bold in the Lord, no longer fearing the Jews is the evident change through receiving the Holy Ghost....
Peter did sin daily, he was a sinful man, and when the command came to walk as Jesus walked, to lay his life down and stop hiding, Peter transformed and BORN AGAIN did walk completely differently as we seen, **WHY WOULD PETER ASK FORGIVENESS WHEN NOW HE CAN BE HOLY ON THE HOLY SPIRIT**"{???}
So here Adam7777 is claiming that after Peter was not born again until he received the Holy Spirit and that after Peter received the Holy Spirit he **NEVER SINNED AGAIN** and therefore had no need to ask forgiveness for any of his sins.
However the book of Galatians was written about 15 years after the giving of the Holy Spirit to Peter and we see in Galatians that Peter sinned greatly by teaching that the Gentiles had to obey OT laws and must be circumcised:
Galatians 2:11-16,19,21: When **PETER** came to Antioch I opposed him to his face, because **HE STOOD CONDEMNED**. For before certain men came 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. The other Jews joined **PETER** **IN HIS HYPOCRISY**, so that by their hypocrisy even Barnabas was led astray {Thus also sinning}. 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 sinful Gentiles know that a person is not justified by the works of 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 the works of the law, because by the works of the law no one will be justified." ... "For through the law I died to the law so that I might live for God....I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!!"
Now Acts 15:5-11 shows that Peter repented of those terrible sins above:
Acts 15:5-11:Then some of the **BELIEVERS** who belonged to the party of the Pharisees stood up and said: "The Gentiles must be circumcised and required to keep the law of Moses." The Apostles and elders met to consider this question. After much discussion, **PETER** got up and adressed 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 He accepted them by giving the Holy Spirit to them, just as He did to us. He did not discriminate between us and them, for He purified their hearts through faith. Now then, why do you try to test God by putting on the necks of Gentiles a yoke neither we nor our ancestors have been able to bear? No! We believe it is through the **GRACE** of our Lord Jesus that we are saved, just as the are!!"
I John 1:8-10: If we claim to be without sin {Like Joyce Meyer and Adam7777}, 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 {Like Adam7777} WE MAKE HIM OUT TO BE A LIAR AND HIS WORD IS NOT IN US**!!
Luke 11:1-4: The **DISCIPLES** asked Jesus, "Lord teach as to pray." Jesus replied **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 also forgive everyone who sins against us!'" {Adam7777, Joyce Meyer and Satan refuse to ask forgiveness for their sins!}
**IF WE DO NOT ASK THE FATHER IN JESUS NAME TO FORGIVE US OUR SINS AND REPENT OF OUR SINS GOD WILL DISCIPLINE US**!!
Revelation 3:19: Jesus says, "Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline, so be earnest and repent!!"
Hebrews 12:5-11: Do not make light of the Lord's discipline, and do not lose heart when He rebukes you, because the Lord disciplines those He loves, and He chastens **EVERYONE** {Like Peter and David} He accepts as a son! Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as His children. For what children are not disciplined by their father? IF YOU ARE NOT DISCIPLINED AND **EVERYONE** UNDERGOES DISCIPLINE--THEN YOU ARE NOT LEGITMATE--NOT TRUE SONS AND DAUGHTERS AT ALL**!! Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us and we respected them for it. How much more should we submit to the Father of spirits and live! They disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, in order that we may share in His holiness. No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it!
In James 5:14-16 God's Word commands that Christians should ****CONFESS THEIR SINS** to each other!!
James 5:14-16: Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up. If **THEY HAVE SINNED**, they will be forgiven. Therefore **CONFESS YOUR SINS TO EACH OTHER**!!
"Peter did terrible and wrong when denying the Lord, and we also are terrible if we remain denying the Lord. Peter filled with the Holy Ghost now does the completely new way, preaches to Jerusalem, to the ones who murdered Christ, showing that Peter is now Bold in the Lord, no longer fearing the Jews is the evident change through receiving the Holy Ghost.... Peter did sin daily, he was a sinful man, and when the command came to walk as Jesus walked, to lay his life down and stop hiding, Peter transformed and BORN AGAIN did walk completely differently as we seen, **WHY WOULD PETER ASK FORGIVENESS WHEN NOW HE CAN BE HOLY ON THE HOLY SPIRIT**"{???}
So here Adam7777 is claiming that after Peter was not born again until he received the Holy Spirit and that after Peter received the Holy Spirit he **NEVER SINNED AGAIN** and therefore had no need to ask forgiveness for any of his sins.
However the book of Galatians was written about 15 years after the giving of the Holy Spirit to Peter and we see in Galatians that Peter sinned greatly by teaching that the Gentiles had to obey OT laws and must be circumcised:
Galatians 2:11-16,19,21: When **PETER** came to Antioch I opposed him to his face, because **HE STOOD CONDEMNED**. For before certain men came 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. The other Jews joined **PETER** **IN HIS HYPOCRISY**, so that by their hypocrisy even Barnabas was led astray {Thus also sinning}. 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 sinful Gentiles know that a person is not justified by the works of 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 the works of the law, because by the works of the law no one will be justified." ... "For through the law I died to the law so that I might live for God....I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!!"

Galatians 6:1: Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore them gently. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted. Carry each others burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.
"**HOWEVER, WE ARE COMMANDED TO WALK AS JESUS WALKED {SEE JOHN 2:6} AND TO BE HOLY AS GOD IS HOLY, WHICH IS IMPOSSIBLE, AND SO WE SIN DAILY. AND WE SHOULD **DAILY** ASK GOD TO FORGIVE US OUR SINS AND PURIFY US FROM ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS**!!"
To deny Christ by not recognizing the differences displayed by the Apostles, who did deny Christ in fear, and now casting out fear in perfect love confess Christ, confessing Christ is walking as He walked, not confessing Christ is to deny that we cannot and do walk as Jesus walked, what else do we see the Holy Apostles doing? Christ is the minister of sin to them, who believe we cannot deny sin instead of deny Christ who is without sin.
Galatians 2:17-18 If while we seek to be justified by Christ we ourselves are found
� sinners, is Christ the minister of sin? God forbid. For if I build again the things which I destroyed I make myself a transgressor. For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God.
Saul persecuted the Jews religion, Saul was denying Christ, not walking as Christ, was walking beyond measure with evil, against the Lord Jesus Christ, slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, threatenings instead of bearing threatenings and death boldly for the name of the Lord as the disciples of the Lord were suffering..
Acts 9:1 And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,
2 And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem.
3 And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven:
4 And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the prickles.
Apostle Paul relates the story and before God he lies not,(everyone who denies lies) and the Son of God was revealed in Paul, changing his name from Saul to Paul, being BORN AGAIN OF THE HOLY GHOST, and they glorified God in Paul, as he who once persecuted the church now preaches the faith that once he destroyed,(walking as Christ walked or the answer is not)..
Galatians 1:13 For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it:
14 And profited in the Jews' religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.
15 But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace,
16 To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:
17 Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus.
18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days.
19 But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord's brother.
20 Now the things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I lie not.
21 Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia;
22 And was unknown by face unto the churches of Judaea which were in Christ:
23 But they had heard only, That he which persecuted us in times past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed.
24 And they glorified God in me.
Now we are witnesses as well as the disciples of the Lord, how Holy Apostle Paul is transformed completely, to be HOLY JUST and UNBLAMABLE WALKING WORTHY OF GOD..
1 Thessalonians2:10-12 Ye are witnesses and God also how holily and justly
and unblamably we behaved amongst you that believe: as ye
know how we exhorted and charged every one of you, as a
father doth his children, that ye would walk worthy
� of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory.
SOME claim the Apostles WALK after the flesh, but they do not war after the flesh, casting down all imaginations that are against that knowledge of Christ and bring all to obedience of Christ, VOID of offence toward God or man..
2 Corinthians 10:2-3,5 Some think we
walk after the flesh, though we walk in the flesh, we do not
war after the flesh. Casting down every imagination, and
every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of
God, and bringing into captivity every
� thought to the obedience of Christ.
Acts 24:16 I exercise
myself to have always a good conscience void of offence
toward God and man.
They are an example of walking right, and everyone who denies, does not confess Christ, as the Lord God knows Apostle Paul lies not(all who speak different lie) Apostle Paul filled now with the Holy Ghost BORN AGAIN of the Lord had to escape for walking the same as Christ until it was his time too..
2 Thessalonians 3:6-7 Withdraw
from every disorderly brother and follow us as we behaved
not disorderly among you. We make ourselves an example unto
you to follow us.
2 Corinthians 11:31 The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which is blessed for evermore, knoweth that I lie not.
32 In Damascus the governor under Aretas the king kept the city of the damascenes with a garrison, desirous to apprehend me:
33 And through a window in a basket was I let down by the wall, and escaped his hands.
Acts 23:11 And the night following the Lord stood by him, and said, Be of good cheer, Paul: for as thou hast testified of me in Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also at Rome.
