"If thou wilt enter into life keep the commandments." Matt.19:17. These words are not honored by today’s Christianity. The world’s foremost religion seated in the Vatican of Rome has removed any obligation to obey two of the Ten Commandments, the Second and the fourth, denouncing their authority over every baptized Catholic the world over. Their sole work is to baptize all men into this sinful version of religious law. And most Protestant churches agree with the Vatican in their disobedience to the Fourth Commandment. In fact, the whole world is unanimous in its dishonor of the Fourth Commandment, in atheism, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Ruling-Christianity. But the Bible repeatedly affirms the obligation of all men to honor the Law that alone guarantees the safety of life—the Law Christ obeyed unto His death to redeem the human race.

       Had Jesus Christ dishonored the Fourth Commandment as the churches do today He would have failed to live "without sin" (Heb.4:15; 9:28); and thus, when Jesus died on the Cross, He would have forever remained in the grave, and the human race would have been lost: to be relinquished to the fate of Satan’s goal of everlasting death for every man, woman, and child. The Creator’s plan of redemption would not have succeeded and Satan’s victory would have been complete in overthrowing GOD’S sovereign authority on Earth. This is why the devil tempted Christ so fiercely, even as He was perishing on the Cross for the sins of the world. Christ’s perfect obedience is not a license for our disobedience. The Bible could not be any more clear: "Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city." Rev.22:14 (KJV only).

       This is what repentance is all about: to separate from the sins that destroy life. And to not separate from them is to perish with them, for the Spirit of GOD can have no part of a man living in sin.

       Outwardly, the churches boast of their obedience to the Word of GOD and His Holy Law, even publicly promoting the Ten Commandments in the legislature and in movies. But their version of religious law is a sinful corruption and abbreviation of the true rendering that Christ gave to the human race in the permanence of stone on Mount Sinai (Jn.8:58). It was Jesus Himself who personally gave to the world the Ten Commandments. Even in the world-renowned movie, The Ten Commandments, an incomplete, sinful rendering was given. In fact, the very mercy of GOD shown repeatedly to Pharaoh wasn’t given the slightest acknowledgment.

       Ultimately, today’s Christianity is a selfish pick and choose version of obedience, demanding of GOD to allow men to be saved in their sin instead of from their sin. This is a technical impossibility, for GOD cannot dwell in the soul where sin is seated on the throne. The very foundation of GOD’S salvation is man’s deliverance from sin. To oppose His goal is to oppose His gift of the life of His Son.

       The disobedience of men against the safe-haven of GOD’S Word has a long history. The first born of Adam, Cain, refused GOD’S ordained method to remind him of GOD’S deliverence from sin—the sacrifice of an innocent animal, representing the Creator who would spill His own life’s blood to redeem the family of Adam from death’s dominion: "And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD. And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering: But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell. And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen? If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door." Gen.4:3-7.

       Cain refused to hear GOD’S tender, encouraging Words, believing that his hard work in tilling the ground should be sufficient for his salvation. Cain demanded salvation according to his method: by his works and not GOD’S. All religions today carry the same banner of defiance, with the exception of one: Biblical Christianity. But only by Cain shedding the blood from the lowly, innocent creature could remind him of the condescension, shame and humiliation GOD was willing to take in laying down His life. The sacrificial system was instituted to keep alive man’s knowledge of GOD’S love and to maintain an open communion between man and GOD. Fruits and vegetables were a vain oblation. Cain’s continued refusal to hear GOD’S Word led him to violently murder his little brother Abel, a young man who dearly loved and cherished GOD’S Word.

       This study will prove that men worship their own self-serving ideas about religion not "pure religion and undefiled before God" (Ja.1:27), for the threefold assault of today’s Christianity against Jesus Christ is keenly evident in these areas:

1.   Encouraging a life of sin while claiming fidelity to Christ

2.   Adding to and taking away from the plain "Thus saith the LORD" creating disunity and contradiction within the Word of GOD

3.   Removing over 1,700 years of Christian history from the Bible’s Prophecies declaring the church’s infidelity to Christ

       Precious Biblical truth, which should have brought reform and tears of humility in the church, has only been used to foster a carnal pride in the self-righteous among men. Biblical humility calls for whole churches to repent and reform: to remove the notion that their mere personal tastes in worship and doctrine are somehow the measuring stick of GOD’S requirements. Of this religion Jesus says, "Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel." Matt.23:24. "Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits." Matt.7:15,16. Anyone who takes it upon themselves to overrule the Holy Law of GOD stands among those Christ described as "ravening wolves." For only through obedience to the Sacred Law can we be safe with one another. The danger of the church’s reckless hypocrisy of evangelizing sin is confirmed by Christ’s words, "Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least [or lesser] commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least [or insignificant, unworthy of life] in the kingdom of heaven." Matt.5:19. This explicit warning is in harmony with the admonitions of the Apostles James and Paul, "For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law. So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty." "For not the hearers of the law are just before God but the doers of the law shall be justified;" "Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good." Ja.2:10-12; Rom.2:13; 7:12.

       The churches are blind to recognize that to be only partly saved is to be completely lost as the words of Peter warn, "For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them." II Pet.2:21. This is why Jesus stated that multitudes of priests, pastors, and prophets will stand condemned before Him (Matt.7:21-23) simply due to their demand to be saved in sin: overruling the only means by which GOD can dwell in the soul of a man and save him from death. His Indwelling Presence can only be gained through repentance—a remorse that works reform. A previous illustration is worthy to be repeated: If a man who abuses his wife apologizes, then moments later abuses her again, of what value was his apology? This illustrates what is so common among church members: a shallow repentance, where a general lack of remorse prevents the needed reform to understand the detestable nature of sin and separate from its moldering influence.

       For those who truly desire to live out the dignity of the Sacred Law in their lives, a principle deserves to be understood. Said David in his grand prayer, "Thy commandment is exceeding broad." Ps.119:96. The Holy Law of GOD is so grand, each of the Ten Commandments covers such a broad scope, that unless Christ Himself dwells in the soul of the believer it is impossible to live out the grand nature of the Law. In light of this fact, it is readily seen that all organized religions (without exception) give allowance for sin within their ranks: sin that Christ can have no association with. And much of it quite blatant! This contamination within the ranks of Christendom removes the purity of the Gospel message before an unbelieving world: the only means by which the Holy Spirit efficaciously convicts the human heart to follow the drawing power of His love—love founded on His Holy Law. And since the churches give allowance for sin this amputates the power of the Holy Spirit to draw souls to Christ. As a result, the professed Christian church has no power to wake up the world from its stupor of complacency. And the end result? this religious protocol permanently postpones the Second Advent of Jesus Christ. Therefore, GOD will overrule, and the blessing GOD intended for the shepherds of His flocks will be passed to more humble means.

       The celebrated tutoring, strictly enforced by the church, luring through pride the consent of all is the very philosophy that compelled the rape of the dignity of Christ, and in constant crescendo will bring our present world to a close. Men’s pride in a religion of their own devising has caused incalculable human suffering throughout history, and the Holy GOD of Heaven measures every nuance of deception and its resulting harm. At the end of Earth’s present history He will perfectly judge in His determinations of restitution.

       Centuries later, Pope Adrian IV wrote King Henry II, "to enlarge the limits of the church, to decree the truth of the Christian faith to untaught and rude nations, and to eradicate vice from the field of the Lord." Among those persecuted were large numbers of humble, Bible obedient Christians, who wouldn’t force the will of anyone. They were forced under threat of death into submission. And multitudes did die.  This same tyrannical spirit claiming faith in the gospel of Jesus Christ is readily seen today in third-world countries where Catholicism rules the people. Whereever the church may do it safely they will impose their will on men.  Many testimonies verify that they actively engage in discouraging any other evangelism other than their own through provoking the people’s wrath as well as employing police and government leaders. And Bible prophecy says that in the end, the throne of human government will be held by today’s ruling religion of Earth, Catholicism, and the dictates of the church—ancient sins of religious decadence will be legislated into modern federal law. These traditions of pagan idolatry will be enforced on every citizen of Earth, beginning in America (as America will at that time be collapsing to ruin), and from here spread to all the world. In summation, obedience to themselves has ever been and will ever be their demand, not to the GOD they claim to serve. Revelation chapter 13 is clear in its teaching that the Vatican’s own religion is their god, and the free use of tyranny in both doctrine and civil authority are the means to accomplish their goal of global rule: all under the guise of the Christian faith. And we wonder how atheism rose to Prominence! A great old hymn of the early Protestant church most precisely describes the foundation of sand upon which Renegade-Christianity has chosen to build, "Though the cause of evil prosper, yet 'tis truth alone is strong; though her portion be the scaffold, and upon the throne be wrong; yet that scaffold sways the future, and, behind the dim unknown, standeth GOD within the shadow, keeping watch above His own."

       The nominal Protestant churches today have removed the prophecies of Rome from GOD’S Holy Word. This brings confusion to the ardent student of the Holy Bible for only four kingdoms are listed in Daniel chapters 2, and 7, that were to bear rule until the close of time: Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, and Rome. The Bible lists no fifth kingdom to have the lion’s share of influence over the world’s society.
       The removal of Rome from Bible prophecy and the very philosophy of ancient pagan idolatry have become accepted as universal doctrine.  Even the simple meanings of words in Sacred Scripture have been dishonored and replaced with contradictive, mystical meanings. Example: GOD’S use of the words, "perish," "death," "die," "destroy," "consume," "devour," and "destruction," words used to describe the literal extinction of unrepentant sinners have been declared as being synonymous with immortality in the eternal abyss of hellfire. The most famous verse of Scripture, John 3:16 is interpreted thus, "For God so loved the world that he gave his only Begotten Son that whosoever believeth in him should not [roast, toast, bake and fry in the eternal fires of hell] but have everlasting life." Do you see the absurdity of the teaching? Both Greek and Hebrew dictionaries never associate those words describing death as synonyms to continued life, but always as antonyms—the complete and utter termination of life. And yet, this is what the church (as well as every pagan religion) promotes as infallible doctrine: the natural immortality of the soul. [Paul says that only Christ’s faithful followers will be given immortality (I Cor.15:52-54)].
       Essentially, it is taught in virtually all denominations that anyone who rejects the love of GOD found in the sacrifice of Christ will be tortured forever in the never-ceasing fires of hell: to endure the burning of their flesh throughout unending time. And to this they heartily say, "Amen!" Even when the many plain verses of Scripture are shown to them declaring plainly how Satan and all his followers "will perish" and "shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away," being reduced "to ashes on the earth" and "shall be as though they had never been"—regardless of the profound words declaring the fate of Satan and all sinners, these men will never give up their lust for their corrupt views on the character of GOD.  Is it any wonder multitudes reject His very existence?  GOD’S call for the churches to acknowledge their false beliefs before GOD and men, they will never endure the sting of such a humiliation. Ultimately, they want "the wicked" to suffer forever, not realizing, that in their slander against GOD, they will stand among those they view themselves superior to.  Many have even taken demonic delight in the thought of children, parents, siblings, friends, and enemies writhing in pain forever as an example to all who dare to reject "GOD’S Love." The most pathetic oxymoron that could ever be devised in the vain imagination of men is declared an unshakable doctrine of the Ruling-Christian church.

       Satan's deceptive power has bewitched them "to believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness." Thus, the downfall of multitudes of professing Christians is secured "because they received not the love of the truth that they might be saved." II Thess.2:10. Jesus warned His disciples of the depths of deception that was to grip His Church: holding it in the shackles of falsehood and sin: "For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect." The whole Christian world is led to believe in things that will never come to pass, including the very salvation of their souls. As a result, the Bible warns every professing Christian that the vast majority of church members will find themselves standing side by side with the tyrants of history, the liars, adulterers, thieves and murderers in the end of time—even Satan himself (Matt.7:14; I Pet.4:18; Rev.20:7-10).

       In conclusion, a church/state system of government is just on the horizon of America’s prophesied future.  Truth has been supplanted with false doctrines of men outside of safe Bible guidelines, leading to the desecration GOD'S sacred law—upon which rests every man’s salvation or his condemnation (Romans 2:13-16; James 2:10-12). Every falsehood ever taught as truth perpetrates a disservice to man. But even if the whole world is united in believing a lie, that unanimous vote will never transform the lie into truth. Even if the accepted falsehood has been embraced for thousands of years, that seniority does not give it the right to exist. All the hope and faith in the world will never transform a lie into truth: or make 2+2=5. If one chooses to jump off the Empire State Building, believing with all their heart that they can fly, will the law of gravity allow them to fly, or will they perish in their plummet to earth? The answer is obvious. Either we conform to GOD'S established laws or we perish in their violation; and there is no difference between the Moral Law and the physical laws: they go hand in hand: each serving the welfare of the other.

1. Is the church correct in her teaching the everlasting punishing of men, women and children in a fiery torture chamber?

Ezekiel 28:18,19 Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, ___ _______ ___________ ______, and ___ _____ _________ _______ ____ ________ ________ _____ __________ in the sight of them that behold thee. All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, or, and ________ _______ _______ ____ __________.

       When reading this passage of Ezekiel 28:12-19, you will recognize that GOD is speaking to Satan, the leader of earth's mutiny against GOD. The church has taken the words "I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth…and never shalt thou be anymore," and proposed some confusing, mystical meaning beyond the plain meaning of those words. Let us now weigh the weight of evidence.

2. If Satan will be destroyed by the cleansing fire that GOD prophesies to bring to the earth, what about the tens of billions of people who were deceived into rejecting the gospel of GOD’S redeeming love, and who ignored the convictions of their own conscience as prompted from the Holy Spirit of GOD?

Malachi 4:1-3 For, behold, the day cometh, that shall bum as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. But unto you that fear My name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in His wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. [v.3] And ye shall tread down the wicked; for ______ ______ ____ ________ _______ _____ _______ ____ _______ _______ in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD.

Psalm 37:10, 20, 36, 38 For yet a little while, and ____ ________ ______ _____ ____: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be....(v.20) But ____ _________ _______ _________, and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; ______ _________ ______ ____ __________ ______....(v.36) Yet ____ ________ _______, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found....(v.38) But the transgressors ______ ____ ____________ ____________: the end of the wicked shall be cut off.

Obadiah 16 For as ye have drunk upon My holy mountain, so shall all the heathen drink continually, yea, they shall drink, and they shall swallow down, and ______ _______ ____ ___ _________ ______ ____ ____ ______.

Revelation 21:4 And GOD shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, ________ _______ _______ ____ ____ ______ ______: for the former things are passed away.

3. What verses of Scripture does Renegade-Christianity teach that supports their belief in eternal hell-fire to torment the wicked?

Revelation 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and _______ _____ ____________ ______ _____ __________ _____ _______ _____ _______.

       Please note: "the devil" was "tormented day and night for ever and ever." GOD'S prophecy of Satan's fate of being "reduced to ashes upon the earth" contradicts the popular interpretation of Revelation 20:10. So which is it? Jude spans the two verses, erecting a bridge of ethical logic, removing the confusion.

Jude 7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth _____ ____ ___________, suffering the vengeance of ___________ _______.

       Is Sodom and Gomorrha still burning today? No. The fire went out the night of its occurrence. Therefore, it is the result of the punishment that is "for ever," "eternal," and "everlasting," not the punishing.

       The classic passage used by today’s churches to support the doctrine of eternal torture is Christ's story of the rich man and Lazarus: "And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame." Luke 16:22-24.

       This story was well known in the days of Christ (Reference, Alfred Eddersheim, Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah, pg. 669). Jesus merely quoted The Fable of Tantalum, with one change Christ felt it necessary to include. In the original story, as taught by the Rabbis, the rich man was the one in heaven, and the poor beggar was the one suffering in the fires of hell. In other words, the church leaders taught that the rich were rich due to their godliness and therefore had a guaranteed entrance to heaven; while the sick and suffering were in their condition due to their ungodliness and therefore were condemned by GOD to damnation in eternal-hell-fire. This popular theology of (rich = godliness) is verified two chapters later in Luke 18:24-26 when Jesus says of the wealthy class, "How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of GOD! For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of GOD. And they that heard it said, Who then can be saved?" In other words, if the rich were most likely lost, (the ones the rabbis said were guaranteed for GOD'S acceptance), what about those without the blessing of financial prosperity and good health? The Rabbis were made very wealthy due to this teaching. Their flattery of the wealthy class of men was rewarded—the ultimate beggars cup. It was up to Jesus to expose the fallacy of this popular theology, as He had to do with so many others. The Savior was constantly putting out fires of falsehood.

       The popular doctrines promulgated in Christ's day assassinated truth from every quarter. Jesus Christ was not teaching the doctrine of eternal-torture for the lost in hell-fire, nor was He teaching a continued state of conscious awareness after death. There was only one intended lesson Jesus Christ prayed for all to understand: One life is given to men; and if the Holy Spirit cannot inspire the heart to surrender to the leading of His Love, and/or the teachings of GOD'S Word in one life-time, a thousand life-times would avail nothing: "If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead. " Luke 16:31.

       Most churches today do not teach Christ's one intended lesson in this parable. Rather, it has been exchanged to teach two doctrines that are repugnant to Jesus. Everlasting torture in hell-fire assassinates GOD'S character of subservient love towards His Creation of which Christ on the Cross perfectly exemplifies.

4. Is the church correct in teaching that after we die we either go to heaven or to hell?

Ecclesiastes 9:5, 6, 10 For the living know that they shall die: ____ ____ ______ _______ ____ __________, neither have they any more a reward; for ____ __________ of them ____ _____________. (v.6) Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy is ____ ___________; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun. (v.10) Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no ______, nor ________, nor ______________, nor _________, in _____ __________, whither thou goest.

5. Can we trust these words of Solomon, when he was an old man at the end of his life's journey?

I Kings 3:9-12 [Solomon asked of GOD] Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge Thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy so great a people? And the speech pleased the LORD, that Solomon had asked this thing. And GOD said unto him, Because thou hast asked this thing, and has not asked for thyself long life; neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine enemies; but hast asked for thyself understanding to discern judgment; Behold I have done according to thy words: lo, ___ ________ ________ ______ ___ _______ _____ ____ _______________ __________; so that ________ ______ ________ ______ _______ before thee, neither after thee shall ____ arise ______ ______ ______.

       The churches have been so arrogant as to declare their wisdom to exceed the only one to whom GOD said that none would ever surpass in wisdom or understanding. The author of the most popular paraphrase translation, the Living Bible, Ken Taylor had these words as a footnote below Solomon’s words, "These words are Solomon’s discouraged opinion and do not reflect a knowledge of GOD’S truth on these points." Dakes Annotated Bible also rebuked the wisdom of Solomon, declaring the dead "have some reward at death" when Solomon said they "have no more a reward." Dake says that the dead "continue in a full state of consciousness" when Solomon said that, "the dead know not nothing." In essence the church calls Solomon, the world's wisest man, a liar; declaring to everyone, "Reject GOD'S promised assurance that His truth is to be found through His wisest of servants, Solomon."

6. Are there other Bible writers, which reinforce the teaching of Solomon on the state of the dead?

Job 14:12 So man lieth down, and riseth not: ____ _____ _________ ____ ___ ______, _______ ______ _____ ________ nor be raised out of their sleep.

Psalm 115:17 ____ ______ __________ ____ ____ _______, neither any that go down into ___________.

Psalm 146:4 His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day _____ ___________ _________.

7. Does the New Testament concur with the writers of the Old Testament?

Acts 2:34 For _______ ____ _____ ____________ _____ ____ __________.

       The very first doctrine of Christ that the Apostle Peter was led of the Holy Spirit to preach on the day of Pentecost stated clearly that death is an unconscious state no less than sleep. The church today has no power to wake up the world from its complacency simply because they don’t believe they are going to die. If the dead are already alive in heaven what's the purpose of Christ's Second Advent to resurrect the dead? Through the Church of Rome corrupting the greatest promise of Scripture, "the power of His resurrection" they have literally amputated the very theme of Christ’s deliverance from sin: "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Jn.3:16 The word, "perish" does not mean eternal life in hellfire, but this is the rendering the church takes to the world.

       The very first lie spoken on earth by the devil to our Premier Mother, Eve, in the garden of Eden, "Ye shall not surely die," is actually promoted as a true statement by the ruling churches. Every religion of Earth teaches "Ye shall not surely die." Fact: the very first sin was committed on earth when Eve believed she wouldn’t die! She then ate the fruit GOD warned would kill her. Sin and death are situated at the very heart of the controversy between Christ and Satan. And the whole world is blind to the very heart of Christ’s salvation, which is His deliverance from death. Today’s Christianity has disemboweled the most powerful prophecy of the resurrection for the redeemed, "O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?" I Cor.15:55. Upholding the doctrine of universal immortality for every soul the church has no power to wake up the world from its stupor of complacency. With the goal of GOD’S salvation universally removed by the religions of earth including Christianity, the church had to come up with another reason to serve GOD: the flesh burning flames of hellfire.

8. What verse of Scripture does today’s Christianity teach that supports the belief in the sustained consciousness after death?

11 Corinthians 5:8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be ________ from the body and to be _________ with the LORD.

       In that passage of II Corinthians 5, the Apostle Paul is expounding his fervent impatience to be free of "the body of this death" (Rom.7:24) and receive the glorified body to be given him at Christ's Second Advent, the time of the resurrection of His faithful children from the dead. It is Christ "who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body," Phil.3:21. This does not occur until the Second Advent. A false assumption is made that Paul is here teaching that after death one retains all their senses and immediately goes to heaven. Paul would then be contradicting his own words in I Corinthians 15:22,23: "For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive [they are not alive now]. But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at His coming."

       The Bible teaches that the only ones in heaven today are Enoch, Moses, Elijah, and those resurrected with Jesus (the select few whom GOD specifically chose to inspire the faith of latter generations). With the exception of those men, none from the human race are in heaven today, nor will enter heaven before Jesus Christ's Second Advent. That’s what "the power of His resurrection" is all about!

       Enoch and Elijah, who were translated from the living (Gen. 5:24; 11 Ki. 2: 11); Moses, who was resurrected immediately after his death (Deut. 34:5; Jude 9); and those resurrected with Jesus Christ at His resurrection (Matt. 27:52,53) are the assurances of GOD to His faithful children today that He will come again and raise the dead and translate the living, sweep them off their feet and carry them home to our "Father’s house" in heaven (Jn.14:2) to spend a thousand years reviewing the history of sin (I Cor.6:2,3; Rev.20:4). Every other human being from Adam to the last man who dies "in Christ" will remain unconscious in the grave until the Second Advent. This includes the idolized Virgin Mary and the dead saints that Catholic priests teach are alive today and give their blessings to those faithful to the Catholic Church. As said before, the whole foundation of Vatican-version of Christianity is based on believing a lie: declaring their authority to be superior to the Holy Bible. They use the Bible as a lure but then they betray its words specifically given to protect GOD’S faithful children from the snares of Satan’s mechanisms of destruction. In summation, Biblical Truth is of no value to the false shepherds especially when it rises to challenge their beliefs and authority.

       The Bible has given the clear prophecy that the Christian church will never obey (Dan.7:25; 12:1). While claiming obedience to GOD these religious leaders, in their outward show of reverence, in their decorative robes of illusionary righteousness, defy and deny the very Law of GOD, the only Law where we are safe in one another’s care, the only Law where utopian life may be found, the Law that will be honored forever in the "new earth" including the seventh-day (Saturday) Sabbath (Isa.66:22,23). "All His commandments are sure. They stand fast for ever and ever." Ps.111:7,8. The many rituals and exotic robes are no indicator of righteousness, in the eyes of GOD and His Christ. Jesus warned of the multitude of church ministers from all denominations who will stand condemned before Him in the Judgment day. And yet, they assure everyone of their fidelity to Christ, claiming to be His servants. Standing before the Savior their words will be spoken: "Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?" Matt.7:22. And His response, "I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity." We must be wise to understand where the boundary lies here. The issue lies in the fact that Christ was not their companion in their "many wonderful works." They had some cherished sin in their lives, thus disqualifying the presence of Christ from their souls. Their mingling of good works in the midst of living a sinful life demanded that GOD be in debt to them, thus they demanded Christ to open the door.

       And the grand deception to trap multitudes of religious men, women and even children in sin is the devils use of deceiving miracles. We should ask the question, do miracles occur to sanction the rebellion against the Word of GOD? They are more than the sands of the sea. 10,000 miracles are on record by the supposed Virgin Mary alone, even giving visions to those Biblically illiterate souls from the pope on down who stand outside of GOD’S jurisdiction to protect them from the evils employed by the devil to bring their harm and destruction. Volumes have been written on the supernatural forces influencing the lives of leaders and the common man. Among the greatest dangers that the Bible repeatedly verifies is over the use of miracles to mislead people and even nations to bring their ruin. But GOD has provided a set of guidelines to discern the borders between the true and false demonstrations of the miraculous: "To the law [the Ten Commandments] and to the testimony [the written Word of GOD]: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them." Isaiah 8:20. The sole source for the perfection of our faith is the Holy Bible: "Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of GOD." Rom.10:17.

9. What about all the "life-after-death experiences" that are so popular in both the church and the media?

Matthew 24:24 For there shall arise false Christ's, and _______ ________, and shall shew ________ ________ ______ ___________; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall ___________ _____ ______ _________.

Revelation 16:14 For they are _____ _________ ____ ________, __________ __________, [which] go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.

10. Are the men of the church ready to discard Scripture at the first sign of anything miraculous?

Acts 8:9-11 But there was a certain man, called Simon, which beforetime in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one: To whom they all gave heed, from ____ ________ to ____ ___________ saying, This man is _____ __________ __________ ___ _____. And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had bewitched them with sorceries.

II Thessalonians 2:8-12 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the LORD shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: [v.9] Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan _______ _____ __________ and ______ and ________ _________, [v.10] And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because ______ ___________ ____ the love of the truth that they might be saved. [v.11] And for this cause GOD shall send them __________ ____________, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who ___________ _____ ____ ________ but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

11. What will keep me from being swept away with the prevailing tide of disobedience to the simple Words of GOD?

Revelation 22:14 _________ are they that ___ ____ _______________, that they may have right to the tree of life, and _____ _______ ____ through the gates into the city.

       Please note: Modern translations have removed these words of Jesus Christ blessing those who obey the Ten Commandment Law: the same Law He obeyed unto His death in order to redeem the human race. The New International Version Bible says it this way, "Blessed are those who wash their robes." While boasting the use of supposed "best manuscripts" even these words of Jesus have been removed, "For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them." Lu.9:56.

       Christians, who, with GOD’S indwelling Presence and Power, obey the precious Law, truly honor Christ’s sacrifice. Today’s Christianity use Christ’s obedience as a license for disobedience, and to remain in sin, which denounces the age-old call of GOD through His prophets, and Christ Himself when He began His public ministry: "Repent!" Scripture has always warned the church that any willingness on their part to remain in sin, "they crucify Christ afresh, and put him to an open shame." Heb.6:6. In summation: Faith and sin are not partners in salvation.

Romans 2:13 For ____ ____ _________ of the law are just before GOD, but ____ ________ of the law shall be justified.

Romans 7:12 Wherefore _____ _____ ____ _______, and the _______________ _______, and ________, and ________.

Matthew 5:19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called _____ _________ [Greek text: insignificant, unworthy] in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called ________ in the kingdom of heaven.

       The one tangible issue in the great controversy between Christ and Satan that everyone can understand deals with the Ten Commandments. In his work of universal defiance of GOD’S Law Satan has only one goal, "And the dragon was wroth with the woman [the church of Christ (Jer.6:2)], and went to make war with the remnant of her seed which keep the commandments of GOD, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ." Rev. 12:17. This verse sums up Satan’s work against the human race: By leading men to violate the same law that condemns him.

       While the Bible declares that mankind is no longer "under the law" but "under grace," today’s religious leaders ill-define the manner in which the Law was done away. The Apostles unanimously preached that the Creator of heaven and earth, who became Jesus Christ, willingly sacrificed His Divine and Earthly Life to remove the inheritance of sin’s condemnation of death that we all received as an inheritance from our Premier father, Adam, when he sinned. Therefore, the whole human race, through GOD in Christ has been restored to the position where Adam stood before he sinned: in the place of innocence before GOD. The sinless history of Jesus Christ is now the new sinless history of man, placing the whole human race in a sinless position before the Father of Heaven, all under the auspices of "the last Adam," Jesus Christ, that the Word may be fulfilled, "Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputed not iniquity," "that righteousness might be imputed unto them," "especially unto them who are of the household of faith." Ps.32:2; Rom.4:11; Gal.6:10. This deliverance from sin’s condemnation was the original message the Apostles took to the world. This is the message that "turned the world upside down." Acts 17:6. With this new inheritance granted, man is called to stop committing the sins that cause the suffering of life: called to abstain from all transgression of GOD’S Holy Law. This is accomplished through the presence of the Holy Spirit dwelling in the soul of the believer. The continued call to repent of all known sin is as important today for the salvation of man no less than in the days of our father, Noah, when the world was at that time united against the Law of GOD and therefore was destroyed. The world, through today’s Christian influence, is working to that universal apostasy once more; and GOD cannot overrule the decisions of freewill beings, He can only warn of their dangers.

       The Bible warns men who surrender their wills into the hands of another man: "It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man." "Seek ye out of the book of the LORD and read: no one of these shall fail." "For vain is the help of man." Ps.118:8; Isa.34:16; Ps.60:11. And yet, Bible Prophecy is clear: neither the leaders of Catholicism nor Protestantism will ever acknowledge their treason against the Bible and GOD’S Holy Law, and take the first step toward restoring the Bible’s guidelines of salvation established by Christ and His apostles. Our religious leaders believe they can bully their way through heaven’s gates, with no true humility, no true repentance. In summation, GOD can have no companionship with a man who willfully, deliberately, and permanently chooses to sin. By not forsaking their sins that GOD has decreed must perish with this world, they will perish with the very sin they refuse to part company with: they will perish with this world.

1. Is the church correct in her teaching the everlasting punishing of men, women and children in a fiery torture chamber?

Ezekiel 28:18,19 Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, ___ _______ ___________ ______, and ___ _____ _________ _______ ____ ________ ________ _____ __________ in the sight of them that behold thee. All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, or, and ________ _______ _______ ____ __________.

       When reading this passage of Ezekiel 28:12-19, you will recognize that GOD is speaking to Satan, the leader of earth's mutiny against GOD. The church has taken the words "I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth…and never shalt thou be anymore," and proposed some confusing, mystical meaning beyond the plain meaning of those words. Let us now weigh the weight of evidence.

2. If Satan will be destroyed by the cleansing fire that GOD prophesies to bring to the earth, what about the tens of billions of people who were deceived into rejecting the gospel of GOD’S redeeming love, and who ignored the convictions of their own conscience as prompted from the Holy Spirit of GOD?

Malachi 4:1-3 For, behold, the day cometh, that shall bum as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. But unto you that fear My name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in His wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. [v.3] And ye shall tread down the wicked; for ______ ______ ____ ________ _______ _____ _______ ____ _______ _______ in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD.

Psalm 37:10, 20, 36, 38 For yet a little while, and ____ ________ ______ _____ ____: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be....(v.20) But ____ _________ _______ _________, and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; ______ _________ ______ ____ __________ ______....(v.36) Yet ____ ________ _______, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found....(v.38) But the transgressors ______ ____ ____________ ____________: the end of the wicked shall be cut off.

Obadiah 16 For as ye have drunk upon My holy mountain, so shall all the heathen drink continually, yea, they shall drink, and they shall swallow down, and ______ _______ ____ ___ _________ ______ ____ ____ ______.

Revelation 21:4 And GOD shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, ________ _______ _______ ____ ____ ______ ______: for the former things are passed away.

3. What verses of Scripture does Renegade-Christianity teach that supports their belief in eternal hell-fire to torment the wicked?

Revelation 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and _______ _____ ____________ ______ _____ __________ _____ _______ _____ _______.

       Please note: "the devil" was "tormented day and night for ever and ever." GOD'S prophecy of Satan's fate of being "reduced to ashes upon the earth" contradicts the popular interpretation of Revelation 20:10. So which is it? Jude spans the two verses, erecting a bridge of ethical logic, removing the confusion.

Jude 7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth _____ ____ ___________, suffering the vengeance of ___________ _______.

       Is Sodom and Gomorrha still burning today? No. The fire went out the night of its occurrence. Therefore, it is the result of the punishment that is "for ever," "eternal," and "everlasting," not the punishing.

       The classic passage used by today’s churches to support the doctrine of eternal torture is Christ's story of the rich man and Lazarus: "And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame." Luke 16:22-24.

       This story was well known in the days of Christ (Reference, Alfred Eddersheim, Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah, pg. 669). Jesus merely quoted The Fable of Tantalum, with one change Christ felt it necessary to include. In the original story, as taught by the Rabbis, the rich man was the one in heaven, and the poor beggar was the one suffering in the fires of hell. In other words, the church leaders taught that the rich were rich due to their godliness and therefore had a guaranteed entrance to heaven; while the sick and suffering were in their condition due to their ungodliness and therefore were condemned by GOD to damnation in eternal-hell-fire. This popular theology of (rich = godliness) is verified two chapters later in Luke 18:24-26 when Jesus says of the wealthy class, "How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of GOD! For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of GOD. And they that heard it said, Who then can be saved?" In other words, if the rich were most likely lost, (the ones the rabbis said were guaranteed for GOD'S acceptance), what about those without the blessing of financial prosperity and good health? The Rabbis were made very wealthy due to this teaching. Their flattery of the wealthy class of men was rewarded—the ultimate beggars cup. It was up to Jesus to expose the fallacy of this popular theology, as He had to do with so many others. The Savior was constantly putting out fires of falsehood.

       The popular doctrines promulgated in Christ's day assassinated truth from every quarter. Jesus Christ was not teaching the doctrine of eternal-torture for the lost in hell-fire, nor was He teaching a continued state of conscious awareness after death. There was only one intended lesson Jesus Christ prayed for all to understand: One life is given to men; and if the Holy Spirit cannot inspire the heart to surrender to the leading of His Love, and/or the teachings of GOD'S Word in one life-time, a thousand life-times would avail nothing: "If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead. " Luke 16:31.

       Most churches today do not teach Christ's one intended lesson in this parable. Rather, it has been exchanged to teach two doctrines that are repugnant to Jesus. Everlasting torture in hell-fire assassinates GOD'S character of subservient love towards His Creation of which Christ on the Cross perfectly exemplifies.

4. Is the church correct in teaching that after we die we either go to heaven or to hell?

Ecclesiastes 9:5, 6, 10 For the living know that they shall die: ____ ____ ______ _______ ____ __________, neither have they any more a reward; for ____ __________ of them ____ _____________. (v.6) Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy is ____ ___________; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun. (v.10) Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no ______, nor ________, nor ______________, nor _________, in _____ __________, whither thou goest.

5. Can we trust these words of Solomon, when he was an old man at the end of his life's journey?

I Kings 3:9-12 [Solomon asked of GOD] Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge Thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy so great a people? And the speech pleased the LORD, that Solomon had asked this thing. And GOD said unto him, Because thou hast asked this thing, and has not asked for thyself long life; neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine enemies; but hast asked for thyself understanding to discern judgment; Behold I have done according to thy words: lo, ___ ________ ________ ______ ___ _______ _____ ____ _______________ __________; so that ________ ______ ________ ______ _______ before thee, neither after thee shall ____ arise ______ ______ ______.

       The churches have been so arrogant as to declare their wisdom to exceed the only one to whom GOD said that none would ever surpass in wisdom or understanding. The author of the most popular paraphrase translation, the Living Bible, Ken Taylor had these words as a footnote below Solomon’s words, "These words are Solomon’s discouraged opinion and do not reflect a knowledge of GOD’S truth on these points." Dakes Annotated Bible also rebuked the wisdom of Solomon, declaring the dead "have some reward at death" when Solomon said they "have no more a reward." Dake says that the dead "continue in a full state of consciousness" when Solomon said that, "the dead know not nothing." In essence the church calls Solomon, the world's wisest man, a liar; declaring to everyone, "Reject GOD'S promised assurance that His truth is to be found through His wisest of servants, Solomon."

6. Are there other Bible writers, which reinforce the teaching of Solomon on the state of the dead?

Job 14:12 So man lieth down, and riseth not: ____ _____ _________ ____ ___ ______, _______ ______ _____ ________ nor be raised out of their sleep.

Psalm 115:17 ____ ______ __________ ____ ____ _______, neither any that go down into ___________.

Psalm 146:4 His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day _____ ___________ _________.

7. Does the New Testament concur with the writers of the Old Testament?

Acts 2:34 For _______ ____ _____ ____________ _____ ____ __________.

       The very first doctrine of Christ that the Apostle Peter was led of the Holy Spirit to preach on the day of Pentecost stated clearly that death is an unconscious state no less than sleep. The church today has no power to wake up the world from its complacency simply because they don’t believe they are going to die. If the dead are already alive in heaven what's the purpose of Christ's Second Advent to resurrect the dead? Through the Church of Rome corrupting the greatest promise of Scripture, "the power of His resurrection" they have literally amputated the very theme of Christ’s deliverance from sin: "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Jn.3:16 The word, "perish" does not mean eternal life in hellfire, but this is the rendering the church takes to the world.

       The very first lie spoken on earth by the devil to our Premier Mother, Eve, in the garden of Eden, "Ye shall not surely die," is actually promoted as a true statement by the ruling churches. Every religion of Earth teaches "Ye shall not surely die." Fact: the very first sin was committed on earth when Eve believed she wouldn’t die! She then ate the fruit GOD warned would kill her. Sin and death are situated at the very heart of the controversy between Christ and Satan. And the whole world is blind to the very heart of Christ’s salvation, which is His deliverance from death. Today’s Christianity has disemboweled the most powerful prophecy of the resurrection for the redeemed, "O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?" I Cor.15:55. Upholding the doctrine of universal immortality for every soul the church has no power to wake up the world from its stupor of complacency. With the goal of GOD’S salvation universally removed by the religions of earth including Christianity, the church had to come up with another reason to serve GOD: the flesh burning flames of hellfire.

8. What verse of Scripture does today’s Christianity teach that supports the belief in the sustained consciousness after death?

11 Corinthians 5:8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be ________ from the body and to be _________ with the LORD.

       In that passage of II Corinthians 5, the Apostle Paul is expounding his fervent impatience to be free of "the body of this death" (Rom.7:24) and receive the glorified body to be given him at Christ's Second Advent, the time of the resurrection of His faithful children from the dead. It is Christ "who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body," Phil.3:21. This does not occur until the Second Advent. A false assumption is made that Paul is here teaching that after death one retains all their senses and immediately goes to heaven. Paul would then be contradicting his own words in I Corinthians 15:22,23: "For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive [they are not alive now]. But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at His coming."

       The Bible teaches that the only ones in heaven today are Enoch, Moses, Elijah, and those resurrected with Jesus (the select few whom GOD specifically chose to inspire the faith of latter generations). With the exception of those men, none from the human race are in heaven today, nor will enter heaven before Jesus Christ's Second Advent. That’s what "the power of His resurrection" is all about!

       Enoch and Elijah, who were translated from the living (Gen. 5:24; 11 Ki. 2: 11); Moses, who was resurrected immediately after his death (Deut. 34:5; Jude 9); and those resurrected with Jesus Christ at His resurrection (Matt. 27:52,53) are the assurances of GOD to His faithful children today that He will come again and raise the dead and translate the living, sweep them off their feet and carry them home to our "Father’s house" in heaven (Jn.14:2) to spend a thousand years reviewing the history of sin (I Cor.6:2,3; Rev.20:4). Every other human being from Adam to the last man who dies "in Christ" will remain unconscious in the grave until the Second Advent. This includes the idolized Virgin Mary and the dead saints that Catholic priests teach are alive today and give their blessings to those faithful to the Catholic Church. As said before, the whole foundation of Vatican-version of Christianity is based on believing a lie: declaring their authority to be superior to the Holy Bible. They use the Bible as a lure but then they betray its words specifically given to protect GOD’S faithful children from the snares of Satan’s mechanisms of destruction. In summation, Biblical Truth is of no value to the false shepherds especially when it rises to challenge their beliefs and authority.

       The Bible has given the clear prophecy that the Christian church will never obey (Dan.7:25; 12:1). While claiming obedience to GOD these religious leaders, in their outward show of reverence, in their decorative robes of illusionary righteousness, defy and deny the very Law of GOD, the only Law where we are safe in one another’s care, the only Law where utopian life may be found, the Law that will be honored forever in the "new earth" including the seventh-day (Saturday) Sabbath (Isa.66:22,23). "All His commandments are sure. They stand fast for ever and ever." Ps.111:7,8. The many rituals and exotic robes are no indicator of righteousness, in the eyes of GOD and His Christ. Jesus warned of the multitude of church ministers from all denominations who will stand condemned before Him in the Judgment day. And yet, they assure everyone of their fidelity to Christ, claiming to be His servants. Standing before the Savior their words will be spoken: "Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?" Matt.7:22. And His response, "I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity." We must be wise to understand where the boundary lies here. The issue lies in the fact that Christ was not their companion in their "many wonderful works." They had some cherished sin in their lives, thus disqualifying the presence of Christ from their souls. Their mingling of good works in the midst of living a sinful life demanded that GOD be in debt to them, thus they demanded Christ to open the door.

       And the grand deception to trap multitudes of religious men, women and even children in sin is the devils use of deceiving miracles. We should ask the question, do miracles occur to sanction the rebellion against the Word of GOD? They are more than the sands of the sea. 10,000 miracles are on record by the supposed Virgin Mary alone, even giving visions to those Biblically illiterate souls from the pope on down who stand outside of GOD’S jurisdiction to protect them from the evils employed by the devil to bring their harm and destruction. Volumes have been written on the supernatural forces influencing the lives of leaders and the common man. Among the greatest dangers that the Bible repeatedly verifies is over the use of miracles to mislead people and even nations to bring their ruin. But GOD has provided a set of guidelines to discern the borders between the true and false demonstrations of the miraculous: "To the law [the Ten Commandments] and to the testimony [the written Word of GOD]: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them." Isaiah 8:20. The sole source for the perfection of our faith is the Holy Bible: "Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of GOD." Rom.10:17.

9. What about all the "life-after-death experiences" that are so popular in both the church and the media?

Matthew 24:24 For there shall arise false Christ's, and _______ ________, and shall shew ________ ________ ______ ___________; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall ___________ _____ ______ _________.

Revelation 16:14 For they are _____ _________ ____ ________, __________ __________, [which] go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.

10. Are the men of the church ready to discard Scripture at the first sign of anything miraculous?

Acts 8:9-11 But there was a certain man, called Simon, which beforetime in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one: To whom they all gave heed, from ____ ________ to ____ ___________ saying, This man is _____ __________ __________ ___ _____. And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had bewitched them with sorceries.

II Thessalonians 2:8-12 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the LORD shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: [v.9] Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan _______ _____ __________ and ______ and ________ _________, [v.10] And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because ______ ___________ ____ the love of the truth that they might be saved. [v.11] And for this cause GOD shall send them __________ ____________, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who ___________ _____ ____ ________ but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

11. What will keep me from being swept away with the prevailing tide of disobedience to the simple Words of GOD?

Revelation 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that _______ _____ _________________ ___ _____, and the ________ ____ _________.

Revelation 22:14 _________ are they that ___ ____ _______________, that they may have right to the tree of life, and _____ _______ ____ through the gates into the city.

       Please note: Modern translations have removed these words of Jesus Christ blessing those who obey the Ten Commandment Law: the same Law He obeyed unto His death in order to redeem the human race. The New International Version Bible says it this way, "Blessed are those who wash their robes."

Romans 7:12 Wherefore _____ _____ ____ _______, and the _______________ _______, and ________, and ________.

Matthew 5:19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called _____ _________ [Greek text: insignificant, unworthy] in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called ________ in the kingdom of heaven.

       The one tangible issue in the great controversy between Christ and Satan that everyone can understand deals with the Ten Commandments. In his work of universal defiance of GOD’S Law Satan has only one goal, "And the dragon was wroth with the woman [the church of Christ (Jer.6:2)], and went to make war with the remnant of her seed which keep the commandments of GOD, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ."
