CATHOLICISM:- Liberality, or breadth of view.
Matt 7: 13 (KJV)
Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad
is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which
go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way,
which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. (Ye
shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all
your heart. And I will be found of you, saith the LORD: Jer2913.)
Numb 23: 19 (KJV)
God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man.
John 1: 1 (KJV)
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and
the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All
things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made
that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of
men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended
it not.
John 4: 24 (KJV)
God is a Spirit: (a spirit hath not flesh and bones, Luk2439)
and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
(It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing:
the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are
life. Jhn0663: It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone,
but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. Mat0404.)
Acts 17: 24 (KJV)
God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he
is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with
hands; Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed
any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;
Acts 7: 47 (KJV)
But Solomon built him an house. Howbeit the most High dwelleth
not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet, Heaven is
my throne, and earth is my footstool: what house will ye build
me? saith the Lord: or what is the place of my rest? Hath not
my hand made all these things? Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised
in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your
fathers did, so do ye.
1Cor 3: 16 (KJV)
Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit
of God dwelleth in you? (Even the Spirit of truth; whom the
world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth
him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in
you. Jhn1417. it is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth
nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and
they are life. But there are some of you that believe not. Jhn0663.)
Roma 1: 18 (KJV)
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness
and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness
(unbelief and hardness of heart, Mrk1614: In the vanity of
their mind, Having the understanding darkened, being alienated
from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because
of the blindness of their heart: Eph0417: Do ye not therefore
err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of
God? Mrk1224); Because that which may be known of God is manifest
in (or, to. Rom0119m) them; for God hath shewed it unto
them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the
world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are
made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without
excuse: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not
as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations,
and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to
be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the uncorruptible
God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds,
and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Wherefore God also
gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts,
to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Who changed
the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature
more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
Roma 1: 26 (KJV)
For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even
their women did change the natural use into that which is against
nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of
the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men
working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that
recompence of their error which was meet. And even as they did
not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over
to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness,
covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit,
malignity; whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful,
proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection,
implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of God, that
they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do
the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
Isai 3: 9 (KJV)
The shew of their countenance doth witness against them; and they
declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto their soul!
for they have rewarded evil unto themselves. Say ye to the righteous,
that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of
their doings (The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace,
longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance:
against such there is no law. Gal0522,23). Woe unto the wicked!
it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall be
given him.
Isai 29: 10 (KJV)
For the LORD hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep,
and hath closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers
hath he covered. And the vision of all is become unto you as the
words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one that
is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I cannot;
for it is sealed: And the book is delivered to him that is not
learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not
learned. Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw
near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but
have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me
is taught by the precept of men: Therefore, behold, I will proceed
to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work
and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and
the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid. Woe unto
them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the LORD, and their
works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth
us?
Jere 23: 18 (KJV)
For who hath stood in the counsel of the LORD, and hath perceived
and heard his word? who hath marked his word, and heard it? Behold,
a whirlwind of the LORD is gone forth in fury, even a grievous
whirlwind: it shall fall grievously upon the head of the wicked.
The anger of the LORD shall not return, until he have executed,
and till he have performed the thoughts of his heart: in the latter
days ye shall consider it perfectly. I have not sent these prophets,
yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.
But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people
to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their
evil way, and from the evil of their doings. Am I a God at hand,
saith the LORD, and not a God afar off? Can any hide himself in
secret places that I shall not see him? saith the LORD. Do not
I fill heaven and earth? saith the LORD. I have heard what the
prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed,
I have dreamed. How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets
that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their
own heart; Which think to cause my people to forget my name by
their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour, as their
fathers have forgotten my name for Baal (He that rules and
subdues.) Jer2318-27.
2Joh 1: 9 (KJV)
Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ,
hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath
both the Father and the Son. If there come any unto you, and bring
not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid
him God speed: For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of
his evil deeds.
1Joh 2: 23 (KJV)
Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but)
he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.
2Pet 1: 21 (KJV)
For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but
holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. 2:1
But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there
shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in
damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and
bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow
their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall
be evil spoken of. And through covetousness shall they with feigned
words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time
lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.
Titu 1: 10 (KJV)
For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially
they of the circumcision (Full well ye reject the commandment
of God, that ye may keep your own tradition. Mrk0709: For they
loved the praise of men more than the praise of God. Jhn1243):
Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching
things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake.
Isai 3: 12 (KJV)
As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule
over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err,
and destroy the way of thy paths. The LORD standeth up to plead,
and standeth to judge the people. The LORD will enter into judgment
with the ancients of his people, and the princes thereof: for
ye have eaten up the vineyard (That which the palmerworm hath
left hath the locust eaten; and that which the locust hath left
hath the cankerworm eaten; and that which the cankerworm hath
left hath the caterpiller eaten. Awake, ye drunkards, and weep;
and howl, all ye drinkers of wine, because of the new wine [This
cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you, Luk2220]
for it is cut off from your mouth. Joel0104,05); the spoil
of the poor is in your houses. What mean ye that ye beat my people
to pieces, and grind the faces of the poor? saith the LORD GOD
of hosts.
Mark 12: 38 (KJV)
And he (Jesus) said unto them in his doctrine, Beware of
the scribes (lawyers), which love to go in long clothing,
and love salutations in the marketplaces, And the chief seats
in the synagogues, and the uppermost rooms at feasts: Which devour
widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall
receive greater damnation.
1Cor 1: 19 (KJV)
For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and
will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. Where
is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this
world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? For
after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God,
it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that
believe.
Acts 17: 29 (KJV)
Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to
think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone,
graven by art and man's device. And the times of this ignorance
God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:
Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the
world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof
he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him
from the dead.
Roma 10: 9 (KJV)
That if thou shalt confess (acknowledge, 1Jn0223, cf.Pro0306) with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt
believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead,
thou shalt be saved (Saved from sin Mat0121: from wrath, Rom0509:
from death, Jhn0524. For, By grace are ye saved through faith;
and that not of you rselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works,
lest any man should boast, Eph0208,09). For with the heart
man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession
is made unto salvation. (Whosoever therefore shall confess
me [Jesus Christ] before men, him will I confess also before my
Father which is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny me before
men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.
Mat1032,33) For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on
him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the
Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all
that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of
the Lord shall be saved. How then shall they call on him in whom
they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom
they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
And how shall they preach, except they be sent? (For he whom
God hath sent speaketh the words of God: Jhn0334) as it is
written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel
of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! But they have
not all obeyed the gospel. (The foundation of repentance from
dead works, and of faith toward God, Heb0601.)(Knowing
that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the
faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ,
that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by
the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh
be justified. Gal0216.)(For all have sinned, and come short
of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through
the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Rom0323,24.)(Sin,
when it is finished, bringeth forth death.Jas0115.)
2Cor 5: 14 (KJV)
For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge,
that if one died for all, then were all dead: And that he died
for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto
themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.
Colo 2: 20 (KJV)
Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the
world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances,
(ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary. Heb0901.)
Touch not; taste not; handle not; Which all are to perish with
the using; after the commandments and doctrines of men?
Gala 4: 4 (KJV)
But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his
Son, made of a woman, made under the law, To redeem them that
were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.
And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his
Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. Wherefore thou art
no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God
through Christ. Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service
unto them which by nature are no gods. But now, after that ye
have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again
to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to
be in bondage? Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years.
I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain.
Colo 2: 8 (KJV)
Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit,
after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world,
and not after Christ. For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the
Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in him, which is the head
of all principality and power:
Luke 24: 46 (KJV)
Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and
to rise from the dead the third day: And that repentance and remission
of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning
at Jerusalem. (The Lord is not slack concerning his promise,
as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward,
not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to
repentance. 2Pe0309.)
Acts 3: 19 (KJV)
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; And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was
preached unto you: Whom the heaven must receive until the times
of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth
of all his holy prophets since the world began. For Moses truly
said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise
up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear
in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you. And it shall come
to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall
be destroyed from among the people. Yea, and all the prophets
from Samuel and those that follow after, as many as have spoken,
have likewise foretold of these days.
Acts 13: 38 (KJV)
Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through
this man (Jesus Christ) is preached unto you the forgiveness
of sins: And by him all that believe are justified (freely,
Rom0324) from all things, from which ye could not be justified
by the law of Moses. (For by one offering [when he offered
up himself. Heb0727] he hath perfected for ever them that are
sanctified. Heb1014: Now ye are clean through the word which I
have spoken unto you. Jhn1503)
Now where remission of these (sins) is, there is no more offering for sin. Heb1018. (For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. Heb1026,27.)
Gala 3: 10 (KJV)
For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse:
for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in
all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.
But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it
is evident: for, The just shall live by faith. And the law is
not of faith:
Gala 3: 21 (KJV)
Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if
there had been a law given which could have given life, verily
righteousness should have been by the law. But the scripture hath
concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ
might be given to them that believe.
Ephe 2: 8 (KJV)
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves:
it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Luke 17: 10 (KJV)
So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which
are commanded you (For we are his workmanship, created in Christ
Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we
should walk in them. Eph0210), say, We are unprofitable servants:
we have done that which was our duty to do. (Thou shalt love
the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and
with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And
the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. Mat2237-40.)
Roma 3: 24 (KJV)
Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that
is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation
through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the
remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might
be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
Isai 52: 3 (KJV)
For thus saith the LORD, Ye have sold yourselves for nought; and
ye shall be redeemed without money.
Prov 11: 3 (KJV)
The integrity of the upright shall guide them: but the perverseness
of transgressors shall destroy them. Riches profit not in the
day of wrath: but righteousness delivereth from death.
Zeph 1: 18 (KJV)
Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them
in the day of the LORD's wrath;
Hebr 10: 16 (KJV)
This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days
(the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. Heb1010),
saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their
minds will I write them; And their sins and iniquities will I
remember no more. Now where remission of these is, there is no
more offering for sin. (If we sin wilfully after that we have
received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice
for sins, But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery
indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. Heb1026.)
IDOLATRY:- the worship of an image held to be the abode of a superhuman personality.
Isai 2: 8 (KJV)
Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their
own hands, that which their own fingers have made: And the mean
man boweth down, and the great man humbleth himself: therefore
forgive them not.
Isai 46: 5 (KJV)
To whom will ye liken me, and make me equal, and compare me, that
we may be like? They lavish gold out of the bag, and weigh silver
in the balance, and hire a goldsmith; and he maketh it a god:
they fall down, yea, they worship. They bear him upon the shoulder,
they carry him, and set him in his place, and he standeth; from
his place shall he not remove: yea, one shall cry unto him, yet
can he not answer, nor save him out of his trouble. Remember this,
and shew yourselves men: bring it again to mind, O ye transgressors.
Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is
none else; I am God, and there is none like me, Declaring the
end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that
are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do
all my pleasure:
Isai 44: 6 (KJV)
Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD
of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there
is no God. And who, as I, shall call, and shall declare it, and
set it in order for me, since I appointed the ancient people?
and the things that are coming, and shall come, let them shew
unto them. Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee
from that time, and have declared it? ye are even my witnesses.
Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any.
They that make a graven image are all of them vanity; and their
delectable things shall not profit; and they are their own witnesses;
they see not, nor know; that they may be ashamed. Who hath formed
a god, or molten a graven image that is profitable for nothing?
Behold, all his fellows shall be ashamed: and the workmen, they
are of men: let them all be gathered together, let them stand
up; yet they shall fear, and they shall be ashamed together. The
smith with the tongs both worketh in the coals, and fashioneth
it with hammers, and worketh it with the strength of his arms:
yea, he is hungry, and his strength faileth: he drinketh no water,
and is faint. The carpenter stretcheth out his rule; he marketh
it out with a line; he fitteth it with planes, and he marketh
it out with the compass, and maketh it after the figure of a man,
according to the beauty of a man; that it may remain in the house.
He heweth him down cedars, and taketh the cypress and the oak,
which he strengtheneth for himself among the trees of the forest:
he planteth an ash, and the rain doth nourish it. Then shall it
be for a man to burn: for he will take thereof, and warm himself;
yea, he kindleth it, and baketh bread; yea, he maketh a god, and
worshippeth it; he maketh it a graven image, and falleth down
thereto. He burneth part thereof in the fire; with part thereof
he eateth flesh; he roasteth roast, and is satisfied: yea, he
warmeth himself, and saith, Aha, I am warm, I have seen the fire:
And the residue thereof he maketh a god, even his graven image:
he falleth down unto it, and worshippeth it, and prayeth unto
it, and saith, Deliver me; for thou art my god. They have not
known nor understood: for he hath shut their eyes, that they cannot
see; and their hearts, that they cannot understand. And none considereth
in his heart, neither is there knowledge nor understanding to
say, I have burned part of it in the fire; yea, also I have baked
bread upon the coals thereof; I have roasted flesh, and eaten
it: and shall I make the residue thereof an abomination? shall
I fall down to the stock of a tree? He feedeth on ashes: a deceived
heart hath turned him aside, that he cannot deliver his soul,
nor say, Is there not a lie in my right hand?
Isai 41: 29 (KJV)
Behold, they are all vanity; their works are nothing: their molten
images are wind and confusion.
Exod 20: 3 (KJV)
Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Thou shalt not make unto
thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in
heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the
water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them,
nor serve them: for I the LORD.
Levi 26: 1 (KJV)
Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you
up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone
in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the LORD your God.
2Kin 17: 40 (KJV)
Howbeit they did not hearken, but they did after their former
manner. So these nations feared the LORD, and served their graven
images, both their children, and their children's children: as
did their fathers, so do they unto this day.
Gene 1: 27 (KJV)
God created man in his own image, in the image of God created
he him; male and female created he them.
IDOLATRY:- excessive adoration of or devotion to someone or something.
1Cor 10: 14 (KJV)
Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry. I speak as to
wise men; judge ye what I say. The cup of blessing which we bless,
is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which
we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ? For we
being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers
of that one bread. Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they
which eat of the sacrifices partakers of the alter? What say I
then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in
sacrifice to idols is any thing? But I say, that the things which
the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God:
and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils. Ye
cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot
be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils.
Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?
1Cor 11: 23 (KJV)
For I (Paul) have received of the Lord that which also
I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which
he was betrayed took bread: And when he had given thanks, he brake
it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body (spiritual meat, 1Co1003),
which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. After the
same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying,
This cup is the new testament in my blood (spiritual drink,
1Co1003): this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance
of me. For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup,
ye do shew the Lord's death till he come. (Verily I say unto
you, I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine, until that
day that I drink it new in the kingdom of God., Mrk1425) (God,
who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not
as though they were. Rom0417.)
Hebr 9: 22 (KJV)
And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without
shedding of blood is no remission. It was therefore necessary
that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified
with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices
than these. For Christ is not entered into the holy places made
with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven
itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us: Nor yet that
he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into
the holy place every year with blood of others; For then must
he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but
now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away
sin by the sacrifice of himself. And as it is appointed unto men
once to die, but after this the judgment: So Christ was once offered
to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall
he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
Hebr 10: 8 (KJV)
Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings
and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure
therein; which are offered by the law; Then said he, Lo, I come
to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish
the second. By the which will we are sanctified through the offering
of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. And every priest standeth
daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices,
which can never take away sins: But this man, after he had offered
one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of
God; From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.
For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that
he had said before, This is the covenant that I will make with
them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into
their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; And their
sins and iniquities will I remember no more. Now where remission
of these is, there is no more offering for sin.
Hebr 10: 26 (KJV)
For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge
of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, But
a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation,
which shall devour the adversaries.
Luke 4: 8 (KJV)
It is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only
shalt thou serve.
MARIOLATRY:- Worship and veneration of the Virgin Mary.
Luke 11: 27 (KJV)
And it came to pass, as he (Jesus) spake these things,
a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto
him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou
hast sucked. But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear
the word of God, and keep it.
John 2: 3 (KJV)
And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him,
They have no wine. Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to
do with thee? mine hour is not yet come. His mother saith unto
the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.
1Tim 2: 5 (KJV)
For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the
man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified
in due time.
John 16: 26 (KJV)
At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that
I will pray the Father for you: For the Father himself loveth
you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out
from God.
John 14: 13 (KJV)
And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the
Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing
in my name, I will do it. (Let your moderation be known unto
all men. The Lord is at hand. Be careful for nothing; but in every
thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests
be made known unto God. Phl0405,06)
John 14: 6 (KJV)
I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the
Father, but by me. (Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that
entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some
other way, the same is a thief and a robber. But he that entereth
in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the porter
openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own
sheep by name, and leadeth them out. And when he putteth forth
his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him:
for they know his voice. And a stranger will they not follow,
but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
Jhn1001-05: They are of the world: therefore speak they of the
world, and the world heareth them. We are of God: he that knoweth
God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know
we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error. 1Jn0405,06.)
1Tim 2: 5 (KJV) God, Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time. (For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you. Act0322.)
Ephe 2: 18 (KJV)
For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.
Acts 4: 11 (KJV)
This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which
is become the head of the corner. Neither is there salvation in
any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among
men, whereby we must be saved.
John 15: 7 (KJV)
If ye abide in me (Jesus Christ), and my words abide in
you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit (By
him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually,
that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name. Heb1315);
so shall ye be my disciples.
Luke 4: 8 (KJV)
It is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only
shalt thou serve.
AUTHORITARIANISM:- A book referred to in witness of a statement;
Matt 4: 4 (KJV)
It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every
word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
Isai 55: 10 (KJV)
Bread to the eater: So shall my word be that goeth forth out of
my mouth:
Acts 3: 22 (KJV)
For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord
your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him
shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you.
And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear
that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people. Yea, and
all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after, as many
as have spoken, have likewise foretold of these days.
Hebr 1: 1 (KJV)
God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past
unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken
unto us by his Son,
John 6: 47 (KJV)
Verily, verily, I (Jesus) say unto you, He that believeth
on me hath everlasting life. I am that bread of life.
John 12: 47 (KJV)
And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not:
for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. He that
rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth
him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in
the last day. For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father
which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and
what I should speak. And I know that his commandment is life everlasting:
whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me,
so I speak.
Matt 20: 25 (KJV)
Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes
of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are
great exercise authority upon them. But it shall not be so among
you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister;
And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant:
Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to
minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
1Pet 5: 1 (KJV)
The elders which are among you I (Paul) exhort, who am
also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and
also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed: Feed the
flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof,
not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of
a ready mind; Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but
being ensamples to the flock. And when the chief Shepherd shall
appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.
Hebr 1: 1 (KJV)
God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past
unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken
unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things,
by whom also he made the worlds; Who being the brightness of his
glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all
things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged
our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
Acts 4: 11 (KJV)
This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which
is become the head of the corner. Neither is there salvation in
any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among
men, whereby we must be saved.
Mark 1: 22 (KJV)
And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as
one that had authority, and not as the scribes.
Ephe 1: 17 (KJV)
That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may
give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge
of him: The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that
ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches
of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, And what is the
exceeding greatness of his power to usward who believe, according
to the working of his mighty power, Which he wrought in Christ,
when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right
hand in the heavenly places, Far above all principality, and power,
and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only
in this world, but also in that which is to come: And hath put
all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all
things to the church, Which is his body, the fulness of him that
filleth all in all.
Hebr 2: 1 (KJV)
Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things
which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.
For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression
and disobedience received a just recompence of reward; How shall
we escape (the wrath to come, Mat0307: For this they willingly
are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old,
and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: Whereby
the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word
are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment
and perdition of ungodly men, 2Pe0305-07), if we neglect so
great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the
Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him;
Jere 3: 14 (KJV)
Turn, O backsliding children, saith the LORD; for I am married
unto you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family,
and I will bring you to Zion: And I will give you pastors according
to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.
John 4: 23 (KJV)
But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall
worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh
such to worship him.
2Tim 2: 2 (KJV)
And the things that thou hast heard of me (Paul: For I speak
to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles,
Rom1113) among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful
men, who shall be able to teach others also.
Colo 2: 6 (KJV)
As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye
in him: Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith,
as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. Beware
lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after
the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not
after Christ. For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead
bodily. And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality
and power:
John 5: 24 (KJV)
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth
on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come
into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
2Tim 3: 14 (KJV)
Continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been
assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; And that from
a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to
make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ
Jesus. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable
for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in
righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished
unto all good works.
Gala 6: 7 (KJV)
Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth,
that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall
of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit
shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. And let us not be weary
in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men,
especially unto them who are of the household of faith.
Ephe 5: 6 (KJV)
Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things
cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.
Vain is the help of man., Pss6011: Salvation is of the LORD. Jona0209.
Jere 23: 28 (KJV)
The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that
hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff
to the wheat? saith the LORD. Is not my word like as a fire? saith
the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?
Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, saith the LORD,
that steal my words every one from his neighbour. Behold, I am
against the prophets, saith the LORD, that use their tongues,
and say, He saith. Behold, I am against them that prophesy false
dreams, saith the LORD, and do tell them, and cause my people
to err by their lies, and by their lightness; yet I sent them
not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not profit this
people at all, saith the LORD.
ECUMENISM:- Universal doctrines and practices.
Isai 8: 9 (KJV)
Associate yourselves, O ye people, and ye shall be broken in pieces;
and give ear, all ye of far countries: gird yourselves, and ye
shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken
in pieces. Take counsel together, and it shall come to nought;
speak the word, and it shall not stand: for God is with us. For
the LORD spake thus to me (Isaiah) with a strong hand,
and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people,
saying, Say ye not, A confederacy, to all them to whom this people
shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid.
Sanctify the LORD of hosts himself; and let him be your fear,
and let him be your dread.
2Cor 6: 14 (KJV)
Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what
fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion
hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial
(the Devil)? or what part hath he that believeth with an
infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols?
for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will
dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and
they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and
be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing
(thy graven images of silver, and
the ornament of thy molten images of gold: thou shalt cast them
away as a menstruous cloth; thou shalt say unto it, Get thee hence.
Isa3022); and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto
you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
Roma 12: 2 (KJV)
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.
Ephe 5: 6 (KJV)
Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things
cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. Be
not ye therefore partakers with them. For ye were sometimes darkness,
but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: (For
the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and
truth;) Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. And have no
fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove
them. For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are
done of them in secret.
SCHISM:- Separation, or, breaking away from truth.
1Cor 1: 11 (KJV)
There are contentions among you. Now this I (Paul) say,
that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and
I of Cephas; and I of Christ. Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified
for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?
1Cor 11: 17 (KJV)
Now in this that I (Paul) declare unto you I praise you
not, that ye come together not for the better, but for the worse.
For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear
that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it. For
there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved
may be made manifest among you.
Gala 2: 14 (KJV)
But when I (Paul) saw that they walked not uprightly according
to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all,
If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and
not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as
do the Jews? We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the
Gentiles, Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of
the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed
in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ,
and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall
no flesh be justified. But if, while we seek to be justified by
Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore 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 (For Christ is the end of the law
for righteousness to every one that believeth. Rom1004), that
I might live unto God. I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless
I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which
I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God,
who loved me, and gave himself for me.
Ephe 4: 1 (KJV)
I (Paul) therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you
that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, With
all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one
another in love; Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit
in the bond of peace. There is one body, and one Spirit, even
as ye are called in one hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith,
one baptism, One God and Father of all, who is above all, and
through all, and in you all. But unto every one of us is given
grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. Wherefore
he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive,
and gave gifts unto men. (Now that he ascended, what is it but
that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?
He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above
all heavens, that he might fill all things.) And he gave some,
apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some,
pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the
work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge
of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the
stature of the fulness of Christ: That we henceforth be no more
children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind
of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby
they lie in wait to deceive; But speaking the truth in love, may
grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by
that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working
in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto
the edifying of itself in love.
1Cor 14: 26 (KJV)
How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, everyone of you
hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation,
hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.
1Cor 1: 10 (KJV)
Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions
among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same
mind and in the same judgment.
Acts 17: 2 (KJV)
Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and three sabbath
days reasoned with them out of the scriptures.
Acts 17: 11 (KJV)
These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they
received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the
scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
Ephe 5: 11 (KJV)
And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness,
but rather reprove them. For it is a shame even to speak of those
things which are done of them in secret. But all things that are
reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make
manifest is light. Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest,
and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. See
then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming
the time, because the days are evil.
Isai 1: 18 (KJV)
Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your
sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they
be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. If ye be willing and
obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land: But if ye refuse
and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth
of the LORD hath spoken it.
1Pet 4: 11 (KJV)
If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any
man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth:
that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ,
to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
BAPTISM:- baptizing by immersion, and that only of persons who profess their faith in Christ.
Matt 3: 11 (KJV)
I (John) indeed baptize you with water unto repentance:
but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I
am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost,
and with fire: Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly
purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he
will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.
Jere 23: 28 (KJV)
He that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is
the chaff to the wheat? saith the LORD. Is not my word like as
a fire? saith the LORD;
John 14: 23 (KJV)
Jesus answered and said unto him (Judas, not Iscariot),
If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love
him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. He
that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which
ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me. These things
have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you. But the Comforter,
which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name,
he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance,
whatsoever I have said unto you.
Matt 28: 19 (KJV)
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the
name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching
them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and,
lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
Acts 10: 42 (KJV)
And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify
that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick
and dead. To him give all the prophets witness, that through his
name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.
Acts 10: 44 (KJV)
While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all
them which heard the word. And they of the circumcision which
believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because
that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy
Ghost. (Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came
together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them
speak in his own language. And they were all amazed and marvelled,
saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans?
And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?
Act0206-08.) cf.1Cor 12: 9 (KJV)
Acts 11: 15 (KJV)
And as I (Peter) began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on
them, as on us at the beginning. Then remembered I the word of
the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but
ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost. Forasmuch then as God
gave them the like gift as he did unto us, who believed on the
Lord Jesus Christ; what was I, that I could withstand God? When
they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified
God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance
unto life.
Gala 3: 2 (KJV)
This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the
works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? Are ye so foolish?
having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?
Have ye suffered so many things in vain? if it be yet in vain.
He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles
among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing
of faith? Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to
him for righteousness. (Now it was not written for his sake
alone, that it was imputed to him; But for us also, to whom it
shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our
Lord from the dead; Who was delivered for our offences, and was
raised again for our justification. Rom0423-25)
Roma 10: 17 (KJV)
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
John 16: 12 (KJV)
I (Jesus) have yet many things to say unto you, but ye
cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is
come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak
of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak:
and he will shew you things to come.
John 14: 25 (KJV)
These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you.
But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will
send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all
things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
Luke 11: 13 (KJV)
If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your
children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy
Spirit to them that ask him?
John 6: 63 (KJV)
It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing:
the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are
life.
1Cor 1: 17 (KJV)
For Christ sent me (Paul) not to baptize (The like figure
whereunto even baptism doth also now save us, [not the putting
away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience
toward God,] by the resurrection of Jesus Christ: 1Pe0321),
but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross
of Christ should be made of none effect. For the preaching of
the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which
are saved it is the power of God. For it is written, I will destroy
the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding
of the prudent. Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where
is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom
of this world? For after that in the wisdom of God the world by
wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching
to save them that believe. For the Jews require a sign, and the
Greeks seek after wisdom: But we preach Christ crucified, unto
the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; But
unto them which are called (he called you by our gospel, 2Th0214),
both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom
of God. Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and
the weakness of God is stronger than men. For ye see your calling,
brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many
mighty, not many noble, are called: But God hath chosen the foolish
things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen
the weak things of the world to confound the things which are
mighty; And base things of the world, and things which are despised,
hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought
things that are: That no flesh should glory in his presence. But
of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom,
and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: That, according
as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
SECTARIANISM:- Extreme belief in works and letter of the law.
Acts 15: 5 (KJV)
But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees which believed,
saying, That it was needful to circumcise them, and to command
them to keep the law of Moses.
Roma 10: 2 (KJV)
I (Paul) bear them record that they have a zeal of God,
but not according to knowledge. For they being ignorant of God's
righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness,
have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.
Roma 9: 29 (KJV)
And as Esaias said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left
us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been made like unto Gomorrha.
What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not
after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the
righteousness which is of faith. But Israel, which followed after
the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.
Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were
by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone;
As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock
of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
Roma 3: 19 (KJV)
Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to
them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and
all the world may become guilty before God. Therefore by the deeds
of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for
by the law is the knowledge of sin.
Roma 4: 13 (KJV)
For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was
not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the
righteousness of faith. For if they which are of the law be heirs,
faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect: Because
the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.
Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end
the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which
is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham;
who is the father of us all,
2Cor 3: 13 (KJV)
And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children
of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is
abolished: But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth
the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament;
which vail is done away in Christ. But even unto this day, when
Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart. Nevertheless when
it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away. Now the
Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there
is liberty.
Roma 10: 4 (KJV)
For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one
that believeth.
John 8: 31 (KJV)
Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue
in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know
the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
Acts 15: 10 (KJV)
Why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples,
which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear? But we believe
that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved,
even as they. (Saved from sin Mat0121: from wrath, Rom0509:
from death, Jhn0524. For, By grace are ye saved through faith;
and that not of you rselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works,
lest any man should boast, Eph0208,09.)
2Cor 3: 6 (KJV)
God Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament;
not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth,
but the spirit giveth life.
Gala 5: 11 (KJV)
And I (Paul), brethren, if I yet preach circumcision (Moses
and the customs, cf. Acts2121), why do I yet suffer persecution?
then is the offence of the cross ceased. I would they were even
cut off which trouble you. For, brethren, ye have been called
unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh
(Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law,
but by the faith of Jesus Christ, Gal0216), but by love serve
one another. For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in
this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. But if ye bite
and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one
of another. This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall
not fulful the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusteth against
the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary
the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye
would. But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
HERESY:- Belief contrary to the authorized teaching of a religious community.
John 9: 29 (KJV)
We (the Jews) know that God spake unto Moses: as for this
fellow (Jesus), we know not from whence he is. The (blind)
man answered and said unto them, Why herein is a marvellous thing,
that ye know not from whence he is, and yet he hath opened mine
eyes.
1Tim 6: 3 (KJV)
If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words,
even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which
is according to godliness; He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting
about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife,
railings, evil surmisings, Perverse disputings of men of corrupt
minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness:
from such withdraw thyself. But godliness with contentment is
great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is
certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and raiment
let us be therewith content. But they that will be rich fall into
temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts,
which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of
money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after,
they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through
with many sorrows. But thou, O man of God, flee these things;
and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience,
meekness. Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life,
whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession
before many witnesses.
1Pet 4: 1 (KJV)
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; 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. 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: Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with
them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you:
Luke 12: 15 (KJV)
Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth
not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
Roma 14: 17 (KJV)
For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness,
and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. For he that in these things
serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men. Let
us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and
things wherewith one may edify another.
Acts 24: 14 (KJV)
But this I (Paul) confess unto thee, that after the way
which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing
all things which are written in the law and in the prophets: And
have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there
shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.
And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void
of offence toward God, and toward men.
MATERIALISM:- The doctrine that denies the independent existence of spirit, blindness to, or denial of, the spiritual; excessive devotion to bodily wants or financial success.
Gene 2: 7 (KJV)
The LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed
into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living
soul.
Job 33: 4 (KJV)
"The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty
hath given me life."
Jame 2: 26 (KJV)
The body without the spirit is dead, (In the sweat of thy face
shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out
of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt
thou return. Gen0319.)
1Cor 15: 43 (KJV)
It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in
weakness; it is raised in power: It is sown a natural body; it
is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there
is a spiritual body. And so it is written, The first man Adam
was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which
is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. The first man
is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.
As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is
the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. And as we
have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image
of the heavenly. Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood
cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit
incorruption.
1Cor 2: 11 (KJV)
For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man
which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but
the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the
world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the
things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we
speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which
the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of
God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them,
because they are spiritually discerned. But he that is spiritual
judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. For who
hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But
we have the mind of Christ.
John 6: 63 (KJV)
It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing:
the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are
life.
Matt 4: 4 (KJV)
It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every
word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
Prov 16: 25 (KJV)
There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof
are the ways of death.
Jame 1: 13 (KJV)
Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God
cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: But
every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and
enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin:
and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
Prov 2: 6 (KJV)
For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge
and understanding. He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous:
he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly. He keepeth the paths
of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints. Then shalt
thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea,
every good path. When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge
is pleasant unto thy soul; Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding
shall keep thee: To deliver thee from the way of the evil man,
from the man that speaketh froward things; Who leave the paths
of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness; Who rejoice to
do evil, and delight in the frowardness of the wicked; Whose ways
are crooked, and they froward in their paths:
Hebr 12: 9 (KJV)
We have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave
them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto
the Father of spirits, and live?
John 3: 33 (KJV)
He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that
God is true. For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God:
for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him. The Father
loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand. He that
believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth
not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on
him.
1Cor 2: 1 (KJV)
And I, (Paul) brethren, when I came to you, came not with
excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony
of God. For I determined not to know any thing among you, save
Jesus Christ, and him crucified. And I was with you in weakness,
and in fear, and in much trembling. And my speech and my preaching
was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration
of the Spirit and of power: That your faith should not stand in
the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. Howbeit we speak wisdom
among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world,
nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought: But we
speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom,
which God ordained before the world unto our glory: Which none
of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they
would not have crucified the Lord of glory. But as it is written,
Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the
heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that
love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for
the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
1Cor 15: 45 (KJV)
And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul;
the last Adam (Jesus Christ) was made a quickening spirit.
Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which
is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. The first man
is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.
As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is
the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. And as we
have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image
of the heavenly. Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood
cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit
incorruption. Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep,
but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of
an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the
dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For
this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must
put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on
incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then
shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is
swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave,
where is thy victory?
Eccl 12: 7 (KJV)
Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit
shall return unto God who gave it.
Roma 14: 17 (KJV)
For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness,
and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. For he that in these things
serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men. Let
us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and
things wherewith one may edify another.
1Tim 6: 3 (KJV)
If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words,
even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which

which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of

with many sorrows. But thou, O man of God, flee these things;
and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience,
meekness. Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life,
whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession
before many witnesses.
1Cor 6: 9 (KJV)
Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom
of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor
adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners,
shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you: but
ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in
the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
Matt 6: 24 (KJV)
No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one,
and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise
the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. Therefore I say unto
you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what
ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is
not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? Behold
the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap,
nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them.
Are ye not much better than they? Which of you by taking thought
can add one cubit unto his stature? And why take ye thought for
raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they
toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, That even
Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Wherefore,
if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and
to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe
you, O ye of little faith? Therefore take no thought, saying,
What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall
we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:)
for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these
things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness;
and all these things shall be added unto you. Take therefore no
thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for
the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
Luke 16: 13 (KJV)
No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the
one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and
despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon (riches,
Luk1611)
BABYLON:- Confusion, or mixture.
Isai 9: 5 (KJV)
Every battle of the warrior is with confused noise,
Acts 19: 32 (KJV)
Some therefore cried one thing, and some another: for the assembly
was confused; and the more part knew not wherefore they were come
together.
1Cor 14: 7 (KJV)
And even things without life giving sound, whether pipe or harp,
except they give a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be
known what is piped or harped? For if the trumpet give an uncertain
sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle? So likewise ye,
except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how
shall it be known what is spoken?
1Cor 14: 32 (KJV)
God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches
of the saints.
Prov 8: 4 (KJV)
Unto you, O men, I call; and my voice is to the sons of man. O
ye simple, understand wisdom: and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding
heart. Hear; for I will speak of excellent things; and the opening
of my lips shall be right things. For my mouth shall speak truth;
and wickedness is an abomination to my lips. All the words of
my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing froward or perverse
in them. They are all plain to him that understandeth, and right
to them that find knowledge. Receive my instruction, and not silver;
and knowledge rather than choice gold.
Jame 3: 13 (KJV)
Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him
shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.
But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory
not, and lie not against the truth. This wisdom descendeth not
from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. For where envying
and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. But the
wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle,
and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without
partiality, and without hypocrisy. And the fruit of righteousness
is sown in peace of them that make peace. 4:1 From whence come
wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your
lusts that war in your members? Ye lust, and have not: ye kill,
and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye
have not, because ye ask not. Ye ask, and receive not, because
ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. Ye adulterers
and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world
is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the
world is the enemy of God. Do ye think that the scripture saith
in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?
2Kin 17: 40 (KJV)
Howbeit they did not hearken, but they did after their former
manner. So these nations feared the LORD, and served their graven
images, both their children, and their children's children: as
did their fathers, so do they unto this day.
Ezek 16: 30 (KJV)
How weak is thine heart, saith the Lord GOD, seeing thou doest
all these things, the work of an imperious whorish woman; In that
thou buildest thine eminent place in the head of every way, and
makest thine high place in every street; and hast not been as
an harlot, in that thou scornest hire; But as a wife that committeth
adultery, which taketh strangers instead of her husband! (This
evil people, which refuse to hear my words, which walk in the
imagination of their heart, and walk after other gods, to serve
them, and to worship them, Jer1310.)
Isai 41: 29 (KJV)
Behold, they are all vanity; their works are nothing: their molten
images are wind and confusion, (Babylon).
Jere 2: 28 (KJV)
But where are thy gods that thou hast made thee? let them arise,
if they can save thee in the time of thy trouble:
Acts 19: 29 (KJV)
And the whole city was filled with confusion:
Isai 30: 22 (KJV)
Ye shall defile also the covering of thy graven images of silver,
and the ornament of thy molten images of gold: thou shalt cast
them away as a menstruous cloth; thou shalt say unto it, Get thee
hence. Then shall he give the rain of thy seed, that thou shalt
sow the ground withal; and bread of the increase of the earth,
and it shall be fat and plenteous: in that day shall thy cattle
feed in large pastures. The oxen likewise and the young asses
that ear the ground shall eat clean provender, which hath been
winnowed with the shovel and with the fan. And there shall be
upon every high mountain, and upon every high hill, rivers and
streams of waters in the day of the great slaughter, when the
towers fall. Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light
of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the
light of seven days, in the day that the LORD bindeth up the breach
of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound.
Isai 52: 11 (KJV)
Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean
thing (images); go ye out of the midst of her (MYSTERY,
BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE
EARTH. Rev1705); be ye clean, that bear the vessels of the LORD.
For ye shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight: for the
LORD will go before you; and the God of Israel will be your rereward.
John 4: 21 (KJV)
Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when
ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship
the Father. Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship:
for salvation is of the Jews. But the hour cometh, and now is,
when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and
in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a
Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and
in truth.
ATHEISM:- disbelief in the existence of a god.
Psal 53: 1 (KJV)
The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are
they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth
good. God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to
see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.
Job 10: 22 (KJV)
A land of darkness, as darkness itself; and of the shadow of death,
without any order, and where the light is as darkness.
Isai 56: 10 (KJV)
His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb
dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber.
Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they
are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own
way, every one for his gain, from his quarter. Come ye, say they,
I will fetch wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink;
and to morrow shall be as this day, and much more abundant. 57:1
The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart: and merciful
men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken
away from the evil to come.
Roma 3: 10 (KJV)
As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There
is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.
They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable;
there is none that doeth good, no, not one. Their throat is an
open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the
poison of asps is under their lips: Whose mouth is full of cursing
and bitterness: Their feet are swift to shed blood: Destruction
and misery are in their ways: And the way of peace have they not
known: There is no fear of God before their eyes.
Prov 16: 25 (KJV)
There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof
are the ways of death. He that laboureth laboureth for himself;
for his mouth craveth it of him. An ungodly man diggeth up evil:
and in his lips there is as a burning fire. A froward man soweth
strife: and a whisperer separateth chief friends. A violent man
enticeth his neighbour, and leadeth him into the way that is not
good. He shutteth his eyes to devise froward things: moving his
lips he bringeth evil to pass.
Prov 3: 5 (KJV)
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine
own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall
direct thy paths. Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD,
and depart from evil.
John 15: 5 (KJV)
I (Jesus Christ) am the vine, ye are the branches: He that
abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit:
for without me ye can do nothing. If a man abide not in me, he
is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them,
and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. If ye abide
in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and
it shall be done unto you. Herein is my Father glorified, that
ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.
Ephe 4: 14 (KJV)
That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and
carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men,
and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; But
speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things,
which is the head, even Christ: From whom the whole body fitly
joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth,
according to the effectual working in the measure of every part,
maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
Job 38: 4 (KJV)
Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare,
if thou hast understanding. Who hath laid the measures thereof,
if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it? Whereupon
are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone
thereof; When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons
of God shouted for joy? Or who shut up the sea with doors, when
it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb? When I made
the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband
for it, And brake up for it my decreed place, and set bars and
doors, And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and
here shall thy proud waves be stayed? Hast thou commanded the
morning since thy days; and caused the dayspring to know his place;
That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked
might be shaken out of it? It is turned as clay to the seal; and
they stand as a garment. And from the wicked their light is withholden,
and the high arm shall be broken. Hast thou entered into the springs
of the sea? or hast thou walked in the search of the depth? Have
the gates of death been opened unto thee? or hast thou seen the
doors of the shadow of death? Hast thou perceived the breadth
of the earth? declare if thou knowest it all. Where is the way
where light dwelleth? and as for darkness, where is the place
thereof, That thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof, and
that thou shouldest know the paths to the house thereof? Knowest
thou it, because thou wast then born? or because the number of
thy days is great? Hast thou entered into the treasures of the
snow? or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail, Which I have
reserved against the time of trouble, against the day of battle
and war? By what way is the light parted, which scattereth the
east wind upon the earth? Who hath divided a watercourse for the
overflowing of waters, or a way for the lightning of thunder;
To cause it to rain on the earth, where no man is; on the wilderness,
wherein there is no man; To satisfy the desolate and waste ground;
and to cause the bud of the tender herb to spring forth? Hath
the rain a father? or who hath begotten the drops of dew? Out
of whose womb came the ice? and the hoary frost of heaven, who
hath gendered it? The waters are hid as with a stone, and the
face of the deep is frozen. Canst thou bind the sweet influences
of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion? Canst thou bring forth
Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his
sons? Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set the
dominion thereof in the earth? Canst thou lift up thy voice to
the clouds, that abundance of waters may cover thee? Canst thou
send lightnings, that they may go, and say unto thee, Here we
are? Who hath put wisdom in the inward parts? or who hath given
understanding to the heart? Who can number the clouds in wisdom?
or who can stay the bottles of heaven, When the dust groweth into
hardness, and the clods cleave fast together? Wilt thou hunt the
prey for the lion? or fill the appetite of the young lions, When
they couch in their dens, and abide in the covert to lie in wait?
Who provideth for the raven his food? when his young ones cry
unto God, they wander for lack of meat. 39:1 Knowest thou the
time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth? or canst thou
mark when the hinds do calve? Canst thou number the months that
they fulfil? or knowest thou the time when they bring forth? They
bow themselves, they bring forth their young ones, they cast out
their sorrows. Their young ones are in good liking, they grow
up with corn; they go forth, and return not unto them. Who hath
sent out the wild ass free? or who hath loosed the bands of the
wild ass? Whose house I have made the wilderness, and the barren
land his dwellings. He scorneth the multitude of the city, neither
regardeth he the crying of the driver. The range of the mountains
is his pasture, and he searcheth after every green thing. Will
the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by thy crib? Canst
thou bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow? or will he
harrow the valleys after thee? Wilt thou trust him, because his
strength is great? or wilt thou leave thy labour to him? Wilt
thou believe him, that he will bring home thy seed, and gather
it into thy barn? Gavest thou the goodly wings unto the peacocks?
or wings and feathers unto the ostrich? Which leaveth her eggs
in the earth, and warmeth them in dust, And forgetteth that the
foot may crush them, or that the wild beast may break them. She
is hardened against her young ones, as though they were not hers:
her labour is in vain without fear; Because God hath deprived
her of wisdom, neither hath he imparted to her understanding.
What time she lifteth up herself on high, she scorneth the horse
and his rider. Hast thou given the horse strength? hast thou clothed
his neck with thunder? Canst thou make him afraid as a grasshopper?
the glory of his nostrils is terrible. He paweth in the valley,
and rejoiceth in his strength: he goeth on to meet the armed men.
He mocketh at fear, and is not affrighted; neither turneth he
back from the sword. The quiver rattleth against him, the glittering
spear and the shield. He swalloweth the ground with fierceness
and rage: neither believeth he that it is the sound of the trumpet.
He saith among the trumpets, Ha, ha; and he smelleth the battle
afar off, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting. Doth
the hawk fly by thy wisdom, and stretch her wings toward the south?
Doth the eagle mount up at thy command, and make her nest on high?
She dwelleth and abideth on the rock, upon the crag of the rock,
and the strong place. From thence she seeketh the prey, and her
eyes behold afar off. Her young ones also suck up blood: and where
the slain are, there is she. 40:1 Moreover the LORD answered Job,
and said, Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct
him? he that reproveth God, let him answer it. Then Job answered
the LORD, and said, Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer thee?
I will lay mine hand upon my mouth.
Jame 2: 19 (KJV)
{{ Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the
devils also believe, and tremble. }}
JUDAISM:- Moses and the customs.
Roma 9: 25 (KJV)
As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people, which were
not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved. And it
shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them,
Ye are not my people; there shall they be called the children
of the living God. Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though
the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea,
a remnant shall be saved: For he will finish the work, and cut
it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord
make upon the earth. And as Esaias said before, Except the Lord
of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been
made like unto Gomorrha. What shall we say then? That the Gentiles,
which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness,
even the righteousness which is of faith. But Israel, which followed
after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of
righteousness. Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith,
but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that
stumblingstone; As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone
and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not
be ashamed.
Roma 10: 1 (KJV)
Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that
they might be saved. For I bear them record that they have a zeal
of God, but not according to knowledge. For they being ignorant
of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own
righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness
of God. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to
every one that believeth. For Moses describeth the righteousness
which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall
live by them. But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh
on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven?
(that is, to bring Christ down from above:) Or, Who shall descend
into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)
But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and
in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; That
if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt
believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead,
thou shalt be saved (Who hath warned you to flee from the wrath
to come? Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance: And
think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father:
for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise
up children unto Abraham. Mat0307-09.). For with the heart
man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession
is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth
on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between
the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto
all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name
of the Lord shall be saved.
Gala 2: 15 (KJV)
We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles, Knowing
that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the
faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ,
that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by
the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh
be justified. But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ,
we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore 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. I am crucified with Christ:
nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the
life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the
Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. I do not frustrate
the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ
is dead in vain.
John 1: 10 (KJV)
He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world
knew him not. He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the
sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were
born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will
of man, but of God. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among
us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten
of the Father,) full of grace and truth. John bare witness of
him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh
after me is preferred before me: for he was before me. And of
his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace. For the
law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
Gala 3: 10 (KJV)
For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse:
for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in
all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.
But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it
is evident: for, The just shall live by faith. And the law is
not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.
Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made
a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth
on a tree: That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles
through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of
the Spirit through faith.
Gala 3: 7 (KJV)
Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the
children of Abraham. And the scripture, foreseeing that God would
justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel
unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed. So
then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.
For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse:
for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in
all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.
But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it
is evident: for, The just shall live by faith. And the law is
not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.
Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made
a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth
on a tree: That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles
through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the
Spirit through faith. Brethren, I speak after the manner of men;
Though it be but a man's covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no
man disannulleth, or addeth thereto. Now to Abraham and his seed
were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many;
but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ. And this I say,
that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ,
the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot
disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect. For
if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but
God gave it to Abraham by promise. Wherefore then serveth the
law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should
come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels
in the hand of a mediator. Now a mediator is not a mediator of
one, but God is one. Is the law then against the promises of God?
God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have
given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law.
But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise
by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.
Roma 4: 21 (KJV)
Abraham, being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he
was able also to perform. And therefore it was imputed to him
for righteousness. Now it was not written for his sake alone,
that it was imputed to him; But for us also, to whom it shall
be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord
from the dead; Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised
again for our justification.
Roma 10: 4 (KJV)
For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one
that believeth.
Gala 2: 21 (KJV)
If righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.
Roma 5: 10 (KJV)
For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the
death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved
by his life. And not only so, but we also joy in God through our
Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.
Gala 5: 13 (KJV)
For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not
liberty for an occasion to the flesh (carnal ordinances, imposed
on them until the time of reformation. Heb0910), but by love
serve one another. For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even
in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. But if ye bite
and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one
of another.
Roma 3: 19 (KJV)
Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to
them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and
all the world may become guilty before God. Therefore by the deeds
of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for
by the law is the knowledge of sin. But now the righteousness
of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law
and the prophets; Even the righteousness of God which is by faith
of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there
is no difference: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory
of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption
that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation
through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the
remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might
be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. Where
is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay:
but by the law of faith. Therefore we conclude that a man is justified
by faith without the deeds of the law. Is he the God of the Jews
only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:
Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by
faith, and uncircumcision through faith. Do we then make void
the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.
Roma 11: 25 (KJV)
For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this
mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness
in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles
be come in. And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written,
There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away
ungodliness from Jacob: For this is my covenant unto them, when
I shall take away their sins. As concerning the gospel, they are
enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are
beloved for the fathers' sakes. For the gifts and calling of God
are without repentance. For as ye in times past have not believed
God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief: Even
so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they
also may obtain mercy. For God hath concluded them all in unbelief,
that he might have mercy upon all. O the depth of the riches both
of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments,
and his ways past finding out! For who hath known the mind of
the Lord? or who hath been his counseller? Or who hath first given
to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again? 36 For of
him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory
for ever. Amen.
CHRISTIANITY:- Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God;-
Hebr 11: 1 (KJV)
Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things
not seen.
Roma 8: 20 (KJV)
For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but
by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope.
(I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and,
behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit. That which is crooked
cannot be made straight: and that which is wanting cannot be numbered.
Ecc0114,15.) (Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help
of man. Pss6011) (For here have we no continuing city,
but we seek one to come. Heb1314: A city which hath foundations,
whose builder and maker is God. Heb1110.)
Roma 8: 24 (KJV)
For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for
what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? But if we hope for
that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it. (Which
hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast,
and which entereth into that within the veil [the tabernacle which
is called the Holiest of all, Heb0903]; Whither the forerunner
is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after
the order of Melchisedec. Heb0619,20: For Christ is not entered
into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of
the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence
of God for us: Heb0924.)
Hebr 11: 3 (KJV)
Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the
word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things
which do appear. (We look not at the things which are seen,
but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are
seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
2Co0418: The Spirit of truth, Jhn1613: The word of God, which
liveth and abideth for ever. 1Pe0123.)
Ephe 1: 17 (KJV)
That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may
give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge
of him (If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that
giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall
be given him. Jas0105): The eyes of your understanding being
enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling,
and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to usward who
believe (That Jesus is the Son of God, 1Jn0415;), according
to the working of his mighty power, Which he wrought in Christ,
when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right
hand in the heavenly places, Far above all principality, and power,
and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only
in this world, but also in that which is to come: And hath put
all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all
things to the church, Which is his body, the fulness of him that
filleth all in all. (For we are members of his body, of his
flesh, and of his bones. Eph0530: What? know ye not that your
body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye
have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a
price [the church of God, which he 'Jesus' hath purchased with
his own blood. Act2028]: therefore glorify God in your body, and
in your spirit, which are God's. 1Co0619,20.)
1Cor 2: 11 (KJV)
For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man
which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but
the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the
world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the
things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we
speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which
the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of
God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them,
because they are spiritually discerned. But he that is spiritual
judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. For who
hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But
we have the mind of Christ.
John 6: 63 (KJV)
It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing:
the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are
life.
Matt 4: 4 (KJV)
It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every
word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
Hebr 11: 6 (KJV)
Without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh
to God (the living God, Act1415: God that made the world and
all things therein, Act1724.) must believe that he is, and
that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. (Or
who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto
him again? Rom1135.)
John 6: 44 (KJV)
It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of
God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of
the Father, cometh unto me (Jesus Christ). No man can come
to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will
raise him up at the last day.
Hebr 2: 3 (KJV)
How shall we escape (the wrath to come, Luk0307), if we
neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken
by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him;
2Tim 3: 15 (KJV)
And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which
are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which
is in Christ Jesus. All scripture is given by inspiration of God,
and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for
instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect,
throughly furnished unto all good works.
John 14: 24 (KJV)
But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will
send in my (Jesus') name, he shall teach you all things,
and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I (Jesus)
have said unto you.
John 3: 34 (KJV)
For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God:
1Cor 1: 10 (KJV)
Now I (Paul) beseech you, brethren, by the name of our
Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that
there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined
together in the same mind and in the same judgment.
Gala 1: 6 (KJV)
I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you
into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another;
but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel
of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any
other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you,
let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If
any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received,
let him be accursed. For do I now persuade men, or God? or do
I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be
the servant of Christ. But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel
which was preached of me is not after man. For I neither received
it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus
Christ.
1The 2: 4 (KJV)
But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel,
even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our
hearts.
Roma 1: 3 (KJV)
Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the
seed of David according to the flesh; And declared to be the Son
of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the
resurrection from the dead: (God hath both raised up the Lord,
and will also raise up us by his own power. 1Co0614)
Acts 4: 33 (KJV)
And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection
of the Lord Jesus: (And that he was buried, and that he rose
again the third day according to the scriptures: And that he was
seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of
above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part
remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that,
he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. 1Co1504-07.)
(In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be
established. 2Co1301)
1Joh 2: 23 (KJV)
Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but)
he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also. Let that therefore
abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that
which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye
also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father. And this is
the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life.
John 14: 6 (KJV)
I (Jesus) am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh
unto the Father, but by me.
John 10: 1 (KJV)
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door
into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is
a thief and a robber. But he that entereth in by the door is the
shepherd of the sheep (And ye my flock, the flock of my pasture,
are men, and I am your God, saith the Lord GOD. Eze3431).
To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he
calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. And when
he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the
sheep follow him: for they know his voice. And a stranger will
they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the
voice of strangers. (They are of the world: therefore speak
they of the world, and the world heareth them. We are of God:
he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth
not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of
error. 1Jn0405,06.)
1Tim 2: 4 (KJV)
God Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge
of the truth. For there is one God, and one mediator between God
and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all,
to be testified in due time.
Gala 4: 4 (KJV)
When the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son,
made of a woman, made under the law, To redeem them that were
under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. And
because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son
into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. Wherefore thou art no
more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through
Christ.
Roma 8: 19 (KJV)
For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation
of the sons of God. For the creature was made subject to vanity,
not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same
in hope, Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from
the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children
of God. For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth
in pain together until now. And not only they, but ourselves also,
which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan
within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption
of our body. For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is
not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? But
if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait
for it.
Hebr 2: 14 (KJV)
Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood,
he (Jesus) also himself likewise took part of the same;
that through death he might destroy him that had the power of
death, that is, the devil; And deliver them who through fear of
death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. (Then said
Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in
my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the
truth, and the truth shall make you free. Jhn0831,32.)
John 1: 17 (KJV)
For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus
Christ.
Roma 10: 4 (KJV)
For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one
that believeth.
Gala 2: 16 (KJV)
Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but
by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ,
that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by
the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh
be justified.
Roma 3: 23 (KJV)
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being
justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in
Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through
faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission
of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare,
I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just,
and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
Roma 4: 21 (KJV)
And (Abraham) being fully persuaded that, what he (God)
had promised, he was able also to perform. And therefore it was
imputed to him for righteousness. Now it was not written for his
sake alone, that it was imputed to him; But for us also, to whom
it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus
our Lord from the dead; Who was delivered for our offences, and
was raised again for our justification.
Gala 4: 21 (KJV)
Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the
law? For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by
a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman. But he who was of the bondwoman
was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise.
Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants;
the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which
is Agar. For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth
to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.
But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us
all.
Gala 3: 10 (KJV)
For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse:
for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in
all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.
But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it
is ev
