(Luke 9.5) And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them.

A CALL TO SURRENDER

There are lost people that need to educate themselves and find true salvation. You must believe the gospel. (66) books (kjv)

 Educated yourselves… Ask questions? Are you following the true biblical Jewish Jesus Christ or some counterfeit?

I was speaking with a Christian sister. We both believe in the biblical Jesus Christ and we are both born again Christians. And I said (Quoted 1st). I said ( hi ) / (Amen)

(With all due respect my sister in Christ) . She said: “Yes, go ahead.” I provided a link.

"One of the places in Scripture where we read about grieving the Holy Spirit is in Ephesians 4:29-32. The apostle Paul writes: Don’t use foul or abusive language. Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them. And do not grieve God’s Holy Spirit by the way you live…. Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of malicious behavior. Instead, be kind to each other, tender-heart-ed, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you.” (L)

How somebody grieves the holy spirit

I said to her: “Just thought this may be interesting. I am convicted of such. There is an audio of one article. You can hear or download the audio at that link.  For myself it hurts when I hear people swearing or taking Christ or Gods name in vein. PS. He said be separate and I will receive you. It does not mean to not reach out to the lost but be in the world but not of the world. Live for him. Grieve not. Learn. Grow”

((And I had a reason to do so.))

Here is the other relevant link with the 1st profound article I came across: This blog was more or less about grieving the holy ghost but we have to look at denying oneself too.  What does it mean to grieve the holy spirit

(READ) Hosea 4:6 6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

Bible Studies: The Word Of the lord

There is confusion in what it means to take up your cross daily. Now of course I studied this before. I came across an article about this and found it to be extremely interesting. Reading the comments on such an article is very interesting as well. Why? Because there are truly born again Christians out there that get it to some extent. In modern day we are taught from the gospel that we are saved by grace through faith and not of works. Ephesians 2:8-9  But since that is so and we should bare good fruits being saved then it is “assumed” since we are not saved by works we can sort of stroll back into the world and serve two masters as this is what ends up occurring to some extent for some believers. The head deceives the heart. And some think because they or we are not to be Christian Pharisees than we cannot put too much on a newbie Christians or even ourselves so there is this theology we can now worship idols and all sorts of Un-doctrinal doctrines’ of demons. So I went to study how people GRIEVE the Holy Spirit. Yes, this is so. Remember lots wife looked back. There has to be a natural progression there. Romans 12:12 / Luke 1212 Remember Jesus at one point said there are things I have to say to you but you cannot bear them now. John 16: 12-14 Perhaps he was preparing the Apostles/his day disciples for his sacrifice and events to come but we can also conclude that we must be taught by the Holy Ghost. Now yesterday a video played while I was in a light sleep mode with the head set on and it explained what occurred in the early Church. We should have a clear understanding about Christ’s ministry as it seemed logical to me but then there is what is referred to in scripture as a doctrine of demons. So we have to examine with a fine tooth comb. 

Should born again Christians take up their cross? Now of course put on the whole armor of God. Ephesians 6:11-18 Yes he will tell many on Judgment Day he knows not hence whom they are as they are lawless. That is future tense people. People did many wonderful works in his name and he knows them not. The Apostles and Martyrs of Christ carried their crosses. Should we? or shouldn't we?

You know it is written in 2 Timothy 4:2

2 Timothy 4:2 King James Version

"² Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine"

What did Jesus mean when he said we have to carry/take up a cross? I've heard people talk about a problem they have and say it's a cross they have to bear, but is this what Jesus meant?

 

A: QUOTE (Billy Graham)

"No, this isn’t what He meant—although it’s not necessarily wrong to refer to some problem we are having as a “cross” we must bear. In Jesus’ day, a cross was a symbol of suffering, and we all have trials and afflictions that may be very hard for us to bear—even with God’s help.

But Jesus meant something far deeper than this when He told His disciples to carry their cross. He said to them, “If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me” (Luke 9:23). In Jesus’ day, a cross wasn’t just a symbol of pain and suffering; it was mainly a symbol of death. What Jesus was telling them is that they needed to put to death their own plans and desires, and then turn their lives over to Him and do His will every day.

You see, Jesus doesn’t simply call us to believe that He existed, or even to believe that He can save us. He calls on us to commit our whole lives to Him—to trust Him alone for our salvation, and then to follow Him as His disciples. He said, “Anyone who does not carry his cross and follow me cannot be my disciple” (Luke 14:27).

Is Christ the master of your life? Have you put to death your own plans and committed yourself to His will for your life? Don’t be satisfied with anything less, for there is no greater joy in life than following Christ every day."

BORN AGAIN CHRISTIAN VOWS TO CARRY CROSS FOR REST OF HIS LIFE

Only the biblical truth can set you free. Christ can set you free! He walks around giving out tracts. He seems committed and with good caring heart. 

QUOTE

Our cross is his cross.

"What did he do with his cross? He carried it to Golgotha, and what did he do there? He died on it. Jesus Christ is talking spiritually here about our own cross which we take to Golgotha and die there as we follow him at any price.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer, the Lutheran pastor who was executed by the Germans three days before the end of World War II, put it best: “When Jesus Christ calls a man, he bids him come and die.” The purpose of the cross of Calvary is to mature us to look like Jesus. I’d like to make this practical for you. Let’s explore three aspects of dying on a cross which describe the cross we carry to Calvary:"

WHAT IS THE Catholic Church? - This is the video that played. 

As taught: Roman-ism is apposed to the gospel. The Church that Christ started is the gospel as he said started 33 AD. So this fella discusses Roman-ism and details about the Roman Catholic Church. I've heard it before but there are some interesting things looked at. He has question period. He discusses the reformation and of course Martin Luther, a 16th century monk and theologian gave rise to Protestantism.

"MartinLuther, a 16th-century monk and theologian, was one of the most significant figures in Christian history. His beliefs helped birth the Reformation which would give rise to Protestantism as the third major force within Christendom, alongside Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy."

He discusses what Catholic means in the dictionary. He said Roman Catholics refer to themselves as Christians and yes in the sense it is not Hinduism but it is not the biblical definition. This is a good teaching on the loss of doctrine and the acceptance of everything under an umbrella without shield.  The Church Christ started in 33 AD in not the external church that is far removed from Scripture.

He talked about Constantine and the amalgamation of paganism into what Constantine created and he gave dates on dogma, indulgence, purgatory and certain none biblical practices/teachings things that seeped in and are not biblical.  

He talked about some figure percent’s that seem a bit over inflated though. He talked about the errors of the reformation that was carried over into reformation or evangelical biblical Christianity. Great teaching with logical assessments. He talks about the Roman Catholic Church that added works and has infant baptism and other none biblical doctrines. This is a long teaching and interesting. 

The Church Christ built/started in 33 AD is the gospel. 

Below some video's for research and learning more.

Roman Catholics are Not Christians

Walter Veith: Roman Catholicism / The Jesuits and Jesus KONSPIRATION 2017

Walter discusses the bible, its cannons and where it came from. He talks about the varying extra books in the Catholic bible. He talks about the reformation and the fact the bible is the most incredible book on earth. He talks about the wars and so much. Heard same from a number of other sources as well over time. Walter gets into the book of Maccabees added in what is known as the Catholic bible. Walter gets into education and the attempt at discrediting the bible including the Canon of the bible. There may be some talk about humanism as apposed to what God says in the gospel.

Absurd and Unforgivable Things the Catholic Church Has Done

Why Are There So Many Churches?

Why are there so many Churches? Great informative video teaching and you can watch it. Research the bible, books and pray. Church means called out ones.  Christ built one Church (Body of Christ) in 33 AD. Not pagan. It is without spot or blemish. There are lots of denominations and Christians not members of organized religion as well.

Proving Catholics HATE God! | Deuteronomy 27 (HERE)

I suggest to hear/listen to James preaching on this related/same issues in regards to Churches and or the Roman Catholic history/faith and the bible. People talk about dead religion. The gospel is not the gospel when it is limited. Salvation is of the lord.

The seed that fell on stony ground

She said she believes in karma and once was a born again Christian. She could have been what she thinks is a born again Catholic. Judging from her words I don’t think she was a true Christian. She believes in many Gods now and finds religion limiting. James 4:4 A friend of the world makes themselves an enemy of the one true GOD. There are false converts. Why? Because in their hearts they have not had an experience with the lord. They doubt and have little faith. They end up loving the defiled world more and stop short of ever truly discovering the biblical truth. 

.

So well said:

 

"Therefore, Jesus appeared to dissuade them. How different from the typical Gospel presentation! How many people would respond to an altar call that went, “Come follow Jesus, and you may face the loss of friends, family, reputation, career, and possibly even your life”? The number of false converts would likely decrease! Such a call is what Jesus meant when He said, “Take up your cross and follow Me.” (read source)
