1 John 4
1
Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 2
Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: 3
And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
For the True Worshipper, the above scripture has profound meaning. The True Worshipper knows that it is impossible for a false worshipper to confess Christ in spirit and in truth. Lip service is one thing, the confession spoken of here is an entirely different matter. This is why those who have not tasted of the heavenly gift are unable to discern the difference between confessing Christ and merely making a casual verbal statement unaided by the spirit of Jesus.
Today we have millions of false sheep in the world professing to know Jesus and professing that He is the Christ. Even demons do as much. To confess that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh requires a good deal more than lip service. A spiritual rebirth must occur before anyone is able to confess Christ in Spirit and in Truth. Millions of demons hide behind the name "christian" to deceive those who would set their hand to the plow. We need to bear in mind that simply by saying something this does not necessarily make it so.
Aryan Nations think they're christian. Klu Klux Klan think they're christian. The Roman Catholics thinky they are christian too. I am more concerned with what the Lord calls a TRUE WORSHIPPER than what people call "Christians" these days. Jesus stated in Luke 6: 45-46,
A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh. And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?
Jesus does not tell us to kill the mushkrikun (unbelievers) wherever we find them. Jesus tells us to forgive the unbelievers and to suffer them for His name sake just as He has suffered us. I am not saying that we need not protect our families on the home front but nowhere in the pages of the New Testament of Jesus Christ are we instructed to operate Inquisitions and witch hunts or to declare war on other nations to go shed blood on some foreign land.
The "Let's get them before they get us" mentality simply does not wash because it is dirty logic. It assumes firstly, that the mysterious "they" are out to get us and affirms it by ruling out the benefit of the doubt. Secondly, it corrupts the NEW commandment that Christ gave all mankind in this NEW dispensation: "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you" to change it into Do unto others BEFORE they do it unto you.
The poor Muslim doesn't have the NEW COVENANT. These people are stuck with the laws of Abraham and Moses blended with legalistic policies of Roman Catholicism which Jesus made absolutely clear are completely inadequate for the people of the world to live by. The Muslims do not know that Jesus already paid the price for all the sin commited in the world. Just like the Israelis (so much like them that it is difficult sometimes to tell them apart) all they have is the OLD TESTAMENT to live by. They really do not know JESUS. Without the spirit of Christ it is impossible to please God.
For this reason the blood will not cease to flow over a land cursed by God a thousand times over. Without the NEW COVENANT of Jesus Christ there will never be peace in the middle-east until Jesus returns in the glory of the Father and every TRUE WORSHIPPER knows this.
I have received many e-mails calling me a "Jew hater" and a "Nazi" and all sorts of things not worth repeating. I have also received e-mails from some professing to be Muslim but the love of God is not in them. They too desire bloodshed as much as the "Jew" does. If I am expected to choose sides I am choosing neither but I strive to choose Jesus, the Lord of lords and KING of kings. I am not a Jew hater. I am not a Nazi. I am not a Muslim hater. I love Jesus. A little "jewish" baby in my arms means as much to me as a little "christian" baby or a little "Muslim" baby. Jesus loves them equally. That is one reason why I believe that the president of the United States is one of Satan's favorite servants alive today. George Bush loves Satan and serves him zealously.
I want to make it perfectly clear that the name of JESUS is above every other name in heaven and on the earth. This name JESUS is greater than the name "ALLAH" and it is greater than the name "YHWH". Because this carpenter's son hung on a cross and shed his blood for me, I am prepared to do the same for His name's sake. The only wise ALLAH/YHWH who is JESUS ordained it be so. May the name of God live forever. Jesus didn't order any Jihads or require any further blood sacrifices from me. All that I am required to do now is to wait upon my Lord and to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ throughout the world. Of course, I worship Him. I worship Jesus alone. There is no other God but God and His name is Jesus.
Jesus Christ paid the price to set me free from that OLD COVENANT that He made long ago, with a filthy, stinking, vile, and corrupt ISRAEL. It is the OLD COVENANT (that cannot save you from your sin) made with the blood of goats and bulls that requires the continuous shedding of the corruptible blood. This is why the blood of Jesus is sacred. Christ was the PERFECT sacrifice. Indeed, salvation is of the Jews but the the Jews REJECTED their salvation as it was prophecied that they would do. Without JESUS all of humanity is no better off than the most vile and corruptible jew that ever lived! Those today who call themselves Jews and have not obeyed the gospel message of ACTS 2:38 are not Jews but "LIARS" says, YHWH.
Which of the Apostles ever sought to shed blood? NONE of them. Which of the Disciples sought to shed blood? ONE of them ... and Jesus called him a devil. We could learn a good deal from Judas the betrayer. Judas never received the HOLY GHOST. Judas Iscariot lost his position among the TRUE WORSHIPPERS of the LIVING GOD. Judas sought to shed blood and his life ended most miserably. He is among the most wretched of men who ever died. So it will be for all who seek to shed blood.
Now there cannot be any sacrifice available to us that is superior to the sacrifice of that PERFECT BLOOD of the LAMB. For this reason all BLOOD SACRIFICE is completely abolished and waxed away. There is no further requirement for human sacrifice in this fashion. There are some in modern Israel that desire to bring back the sacrifice, to return to that which was not able to save them in the first place. Yes, they desire to return to the former things that led to their destruction because they were unable to honor the Holiest of Holies. What makes them think they are any more holy than the ancient ones who failed them? I suggest it is their stiff-necked pride and their willing service to Satan joined in their thirst for the shedding of blood because they have not TASTED the Holy Spirit.
JESUS CHRIST won't tell His people to go seek battle in far away lands or to take the lives of others to promote christian faith.This has never been the way of the Christ. He does not command us to kill the unbelievers as the false prophet and servants of Satan do. When the day comes for me to stand in judgment before my God He will know what the name of JESUS means to me and He will know that I refused to obey George Muhammed Bush and all the rest of the vampires who so love to shed blood in the name of their god.
ONLY JESUS SAVES
God bless you and may the peace of Jesus Christ live in your heart.
