Fighting the Four Evils

Many churches nowadays are constantly pushing people to get married and have families, largely as a response to the degeneracy of the decadent immorality of the culture around them, which despises marriage and family and perverts these institutions. However, this "marriage and family" agenda is based on many fundamental misconceptualisations of Scripture.  One key misconceptualisation is the view that people must marry to not be lonely, because of Genesis 2:18 which says: " And the  Lord  God said, “ It is  not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him.” These religious people in the professing Church are constantly quoting this to people who object to their view that all people must rush into marriage or else they are "cursed" for being unmarried. Such are absurd lies! What Genesis 2:18 really means is that God created woman to complement man so that humanity will be both male and female. God did not create humanity to ...

The Christian faith is militant, bold, and unapologetic. Scripture has a wealth of evidence that shows that this is so. Jesus said: “Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword.   For I have come to ‘set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law’;   and ‘a man’s enemies will be those of his own household' (Matthew 10:34-36). He also said: " “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me" (Matthew 16:24).  These commands by Jesus shows that He expects nothing less than total and absolute sacrifice for Him, as followers of Jesus, nothing but a total surrender of one's life for Him, following His Commands. For Jesus said " If you love Me, keep My commandments" (John 14:15). This does not mean to keep His Commands in a legalistic way, by simply keeping rules as religious people make it out to be,...

Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. (1 Corinthians 13:4-7) Of all Christian doctrines, the doctrine of love has been twisted the most. Many churches preach the love of God, saying that God's love is unconditional, in that one can simply come to God without being holy and righteous. One can sin as much as one wants, because God's love will cover the sins. One need not make any effort to be holy or righteous.   The doctrine of love has been twisted into meaning that God shows His love for one by rewarding one with the things one wants, or by fulfilling one's desires. That is what makes Him good and therefore worth serving. This implies that where God does not reward one with the desire...

Many in the modern Church say that practicing self-denial, by not striving after any earthly treasures or pleasures, but rather, letting God give one such things as He pleases, in His timing and in the way He chooses, is ascetism. They call it ascetism in denouncing such as mindset as legalistic or pharasical.  The essence of ascetism is not self-denial, but in seeking to be righteous by one's own works through self-denial, as opposed to trusting in Jesus' righteousness. They may say that if one is able to practice self-denial in such a way, then that is good, but that it is not necessary to please God to do so. Therein lies the deception that one does not need to practice self-denial. What part of Jesus' teaching that " If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me " (Matthew 16:24) is so hard to understand? Let me tell you what is so hard to underst and about that teaching. It is that people cannot accept that but ...

I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive (Acts 20:35). Many in the modern Church would say that they agree that it is more blessed to give than to receive because the Bible says so. But yet, so many think that a person is more blessed when he or she has more earthly things such as more money, yearly holidays, higher income, a satisfying job, stable and steady career, good marriage, good children, prestigious education, and the like.  Some of these things are good gifts from God, but that is NOT the question or the issue.  The issue is whether a person having more earthly things, including good gifts from God is more blessed than those who do not. Many in the modern Church think so, that one is more blessed when one has received more, rather than whether one has given more. Such is a false doctrine of demons which will take many ...

Many local churches teach the dangerous doctrine of 'once saved always saved'. This is a false doctrine. While it is true that "he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ" (Philippians 1:6), one must not only persevere in the faith in Jesus Christ as the whole book of Hebrews exhorts. One must constantly guard against abandoning one's faith in Christ to go back into the world.  Hebrews 11:14-16 warns the follower of Christ not to go back into the world: For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country. And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned. But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city. Even those listed in the Hebrews 11 Hall of Faith were tempted to go back to the world, to seek earthly riches, g...
