The End is Near

“Him we preach, warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man complete in Christ Jesus.”  Colossians 1:28   “And I will bring distress upon men, and they shall walk like the blind, because they have sinned against Jehovah. And their blood shall be poured out as dust, and their flesh like dung.”  Zephaniah 1:17   What happened to those who used to hold up signs in our big cities declaring that ‘the end is near’?  Movies on occasion used to add such things, often a ridicule to those who would be presumed to be mentally unstable.  Yet has not the Word of God proclaimed that the end will eventually come?   “And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come. ”  Matthew 24:14   Well there are two ‘ends’ to be precise.  There is the Rapture, which is the end of the Church age and then there is the end, which is the end of the “time of Jacob’s trouble” (Jer. 30:7), better known as the Tribulation.  Even then we could argue the Millennial reign, etc., but our job as Believers is the warn people to repent and believe the Gospel.    …”testifying both to Jews, and also to Greeks, repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.”  Acts 20:21   “Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent, because He has established a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by...

The Night Is Far Spent (Article Four)

The Night Is Far Spent “The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.” Romans 13:12. CHAPTER FOUR Biblical Repentance & A Tidbit Of Thought As previously mentioned in these articles, The Night is Far Spent; The Holy Scriptures teach us that humanity is genetically coded to sin against the Almighty God ever since Adam and Eve’s first recorded historical sin against the Creator explained in the Book of Genesis. Chapter Four, Titled: Biblical Repentance, has been written to explain why humanity needs to realize their condition of sin and why humankind needs a repented heart with God. Therefore to understand a repented nature, one must understand the seriousness of SIN. Scriptural Verses Regarding Sin: “Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.” Psalms 51:5 “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;” Romans 3:23 “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:” Romans 5:12 “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Romans 6:23 The GREAT DILEMMA with humanity is that God has separated us with Himself. “But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.” Isaiah 59:2. Throughout the Old Testament & The New Testament of the scriptures’ teachings, God clearly illustrates that...

The Night Is Far Spent (Article Three)

The Night Is Far Spent “The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.” Romans 13:12. MEANING OF CARNAL adjective pertaining to or characterized by the flesh or the body, its passions and appetites; sensual: carnal pleasures. not spiritual; merely human; temporal; worldly: a man of secular, rather carnal, leanings. Reference Source: https://www.dictionary.com/browse/carnal CHAPTER THREE Christian Carnality & A Tidbit Of Thought Christian Carnality: “For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.” Romans 8:6. True believers in the Gospel Message of Jesus Christ should naturally want to work for the Lord. True believers should naturally want to live a holy lifestyle that is pleasing to the Almighty God. Sadly some Christians enter a stage of carnality. Backsliding is indeed deadly to a genuine believer spiritually. For one, I can attest to the fact that I had lived in a phase of carnality for a very long time. This doctrine, although biblical, is not how a genuine Christian man or woman should live. A backsliding Christian should, eventually, repent and turn from their sins. The Holy Scriptures teach us that a true believer in Jesus Christ should bear fruit. This fruit indicates one’s conversion. However, a truly converted Christian can backslide and show virtually no fruits for periods that can last a long time. WARNING TO FAULS BELIEVERS This “carnality doctrine” is NOT speaking to those who haven’t sincerely been SAVED by God’s merciful grace. I would dare say that many individuals claiming to be Christians but living in carnality...

The Night Is Far Spent (Article Two)

The Night Is Far Spent “The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.” Romans 13:12. CHAPTER TWO Depravity of Man, Righteousness Of God, & A Tidbit Of Thought  Depravity of Man: The depravity of humanity shows us that a Divine God exists. Shortly after humankind was “created” by God’s existence, our fallen nature has been waging war against the Creator due to Adam and Eve’s sin against the Almighty. The Book of Genesis backs up the teaching that humanity has ever since been waging war against our beloved Creator. “And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.” Genesis 2:16-17. During man’s first recorded history of our existence, God put Adam and Eve in a perfect utopia. The environment designed in Eden would be in continuous harmony with nature, and all living species, small and large, weak and strong, lived in absolute peace. Jehovah only had one established rule. This rule was simple. “But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.” (17). Before the rebellion started by Adam and Eve, all life served the Lord in absolute harmony, as all life could see God’s love by His willingness to create life on Earth....

The Night Is Far Spent (Article One)

TITLE: THE NIGHT IS FAR SPENT ARTICLE: VOLUME ONE “The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.” Romans 13:12. INTRODUCTION: If an individual truly loves someone, they will desire not to want to hurt them. This love can only be sincere by individuals willing to speak the truth to build a lasting friendship. If such individuals are eager, to tell the truth, it is possible to desire a genuine friendship with such a company. Therefore, let’s talk about truth and not deceit, as this article seeks friendship with those who desperately need truth. I pray that whoever is reading this article (Article One) is willing to consider the contexts herein. This article will inform readers of one purpose. That purpose is to provide ABSOLUTE TRUTH. The truth one needs is to be given is the Gospel Message of Jesus Christ. The day is at hand; many will perish, simply because “THEY” who refused to listen with open ears will spend an eternity in God’s judgment for refusing to submit to God’s teachings, which He gave to humanity generations ago. The Holy Scriptures, the Bible, is indeed the ABSOLUTE TRUTH provided to humanity to understand how the beginning started (Genesis) and how humankind’s ending will play out in the final days (Revelation). CHAPTER ONE Earth, Space, Reproductive Systems, Man’s Increased Knowledge, & A Tidbit Of Thought Many so-called modern-day skeptics of Christianity claim to have a so-called vast knowledge of how life’s origins started. These same skeptics refuse even to...
