THIS TIME BOMB CALLED ZIONISM
Part 4by Lt. Col. Gordon "Jack" Mohr, A.U.S. Ret.
That day has already begun, my Christian Identity friends, and will finally arrive when His people learn to follow Him in obedience
In that day, which some of us may live to see, verse 4 says, "He shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke (Hebrew YAKOCH, meaning: correct; convince; chasten; reprove") many people: and they (the people who accept correction) shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more." You want peace? This is how it will come, through obedience to God, not through the United Nations
This indicates to me, that many other nations will come under the control and leadership of our King. Verse 5 says, "O house of Jacob, come ye (true Israel), and let us walk in the light (truth) of the Lord!" AMEN!
Chapter 2 verse 6, has a serious meaning for true Israel, "Therefore (because of this) thou (God) hast forsaken thy people the house of Jacob (true Israel), because they replenished (Hebrew MALA, meaning: "To be filled with; gotten together") from the east, and are soothsayers (Hebrew 'ANON, meaning: "enchanters; sorcerers; followers of the occult") like the Philistines (Canaanites) and they please themselves in the children of strangers." (Practice miscegenation.)
Most of our so called Judeo-Christian churches have become Turco-Hindu churches, with many Roman Catholics following a smattering of Hinduism. (This is the heathen Hindu philosophy of Fatherhood of God for all men, regardless of what they do with His Son, and therefore the brotherhood of all men.) This is taught nowhere in Scripture.
In the "HOSKINS REPORT" of January 3, 1994, Richard Hoskins, P.O. Box 997, Lynchburg, VA 24505, a student of Hinduism says, "Many Christians are unaware that Buddha himself, Siddharta, the son of Suddodhoma, has found his way into Roman Catholic martyrdom as a saint of the Catholic Church it was Professor Max Mueller, who first pointed out the strange fact almost incredible if it were not for the completeness of the proof - that Gatama the Buddha under the name of St. Josaphat, is now officially recognized, honored, and worshiped throughout the whole of Catholicism, as a Christian saint.
He goes on to point out that the Papacy of the Roman Catholic church from it's very beginning has been accepted by strangers.
They have been Edomite (Jewish) Popes, and many Christianized Tartar Popes, who descended from the Tartar Invaders of southern Italy, and the present Pope who is a Christianized Jewish Slav. He states, with proof, that the Roman Catholic church does many things prohibited to Christians, but permitted by Hinduism, including the operation of banks at usury, and forbidding priests to marry. The results can be seen in front page coverage of the pedophiles and lechers who have been exposed in the priesthood, and who bring disgrace to the name of Jesus Christ.
Of this practice, the Apostle Paul says in 1 Timothy 4:1-3 -"Now the Spirit speaketh expressly (clearly), that in the latter times (of this age) some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils (Hinduism?); Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth."
To see how Jesus was accepted as a Hindu deity and how it has effected the church, I suggest you write for this issue of Hoskins Report, you will be shocked by what you learn. (May I suggest you send something to at least cover the cost of printing and handling, since none of our writers are subsidized by the Jews or are wealth men.)
Even their so called Star of David, which is on the Israeli flag, was never used by King David. It is an ancient Hindu symbol and many of the Talmudic teachings, such as Jewish reluctance to put murders, rapists, and Sodomites to death, parrot Hindu teachings.
According to "CHRISTIAN NEWS", Volume 30, Number 20, May 18, 1992 (RR 1, Box 30-9A, New Haven, MO 63068), "Surveys show that most Protestants... along with the Pope and liberal Roman Catholics... maintain that members of other religions, such as Islam and Judaism, all worship the same God Christians worship, but call Him different names."
Dr. Billy Graham has publicly stated this in regard to the Jews and Muslims, in the face of the clear declaration of Jesus Christ in John 14:6 - "No man cometh unto the Father, but by Me." (Billy preached this for years, before he became Hinduized.)
We have secret Hindu priests in our Christian churches, and in our government, according to Richard Hoskins, and I believe him on the basis of proof he has presented.
The integration is necessary for a peaceful society, when God has placed a curse on it and history proves that it won't work.
Jesus said in Matthew 7:16 "Ye shall know them by their fruits." The Word of God says NO! While the Hindu/Judeo/Christians says, "It's all right as long as it's done in brotherly love, since God is the Father of all, and all men are brothers."
The Bible clearly says, "But as many as receive Him (Jesus Christ), to them gave He (God) the power, to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name." These are my brothers and sisters, not some one who rejects Him and spits when His name is mentioned.
There is no way you can become my spiritual brother or sister, until you have had this soul changing experience, no matter what Billy Graham ot the Pope says to the contrary. I place my faith in the Word of God, not in what man says.
In order to be free, Christians must: "Come ye out from among them, (heathen aliens) and be separate, saith the Lord and I (God) will receive you, and will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my (God's) sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty." (2 Corinthians 6:17,1B) I base my argument on this truth.
Isaiah 13, speaks of a time when people will be deported, whether they want it or not. Note verse 14 & 15 which speaks about the time when God's anger will descend on the wicked: they shall every man turn to his own people (no miscegenation then, no race mixing as has become so popular now), and flee every one into his own land. Every one that is found shall be thrust through; and every one that is joined unto them shall fall by the sword." The Word says this will take place and it may not set well with Christian liberals, but this is not Jack Mohr's idea but God's.
That day is coming, my skeptical friend, as surely as day follows night and there is nothing you, or I, or anyone on earth can do to stop it, since it is ordained by Almighty God Himself. The question is, as the old hymn says: "Are you ready for that day to come?"
In chapter 3:4,5 we see a situation which has already taken place in this country. God says that because of our disobedience, "I will give children to be your princes (rulers), and babes shall rule over them, and the people shall be oppressed, everyone by another, and everyone by his neighbor, and the child shall behave himself proudly against the ancient, and the base against the honorable." Verse 12 says, " As for my people (Israel), children are their oppressors (Hebrew - NAGAS, meaning: "to harass; tyrannize"), and women rule over them. Oh my people, they that lead thee cause thee to err (sin), and destroy the way of thy paths." If you can't see this happening, it is because you have deliberately closed your eyes to the truth.
As the Feminist Movement has grown, the offensiveness of our youth has increased, since they have little or no parental restraint. If a woman like Hillary Rodham Clinton ever becomes President of the United States, God have mercy on us! Look at the harridans President Clinton has appointed to rule in his Administration, such as Attorney General Janet Reno, who is anti Christian and is far out in support of sins such as Sodomy. "They that lead thee, cause thee to sin!"
Because the ancients of America men in my age group, let down our guard and allowed this deterioration to take place, God will enter into judgment against us. He goes on in verse 15 of chapter 3 to say, "What mean ye that ye beat my people to pieces, and grind the faces of the poor? saith the Lord God of hosts."
My Christian friend, we have much to answer for because of our Christian apathy. Many of us have remained hidden in our comfortable spiritual foxholes, waiting for Jesus to Rapture us out of the mess that was caused by our neglect and it just doesn't work that way!
In verse 16, God speaks specifically to the women of Israel, and it is surely a message for our Israel women of this century, most of who have been kept in the dark by their pastors as to their Israel heritage, and their responsibility to God: "...Because the daughters of Zion (Israel, not Jews) are haughty (Hebrew, GABAHH, meaning: "exalted; lifted up; proud"), and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes (see how many of our women dress deliberately to expose themselves to lecherous men, and this goes for many who call themselves Christian), walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet:" Ankle bracelets, and even earrings on their breasts, navels, and intimate parts.
In other words, when women use, their attire, and body language to entice men to sin (and many dress designers are Sodomites who glory in destroying our women), you have only to look at the abbreviated swim suits, worn even by professing Christian women, which leaves very little to the imagination. schy have gone so far as having painted suits, that cover the naked body, while leaving it completely exposed. Mothers, don't expect your daughters to be modest, and morally decent, when you parade around the yard in a bikini, mowing the lawn.
Jesus said, that a man who looked on any woman to "lust after her, had already committed adultery with her in his heart." (Matthew 5:28) How many of you red blooded,(Christian men, can honestly say you have not been enticed by the near naked body of some pretty woman on a beach, or even on the street? This is how the enemy, almost 100% Jewish led, attempts to destroy our Christian women and the mother's of the children of our future. Look at TV and see for yourself!
If God were to speak verbally to our Israel women now, as He did in 760 B.C., His message might be the same, or perhaps even stronger. He said, to ancient Israelite women in Isaiah 3:1T "Therefore the lord will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the Lord will discover their secret parts." The Hebrew word for discover is ARAH, meaning: "to make bare; to make naked; uncover." The word parts in Hebrew is GEZER, meaning: "an intimate part of the body." I believe this refers to the fact that morally loose women contribute in large part to the sexual diseases such as syphilis and AIDS which are devastating America. These have increased by leaps and bounds, since the modern Women's Movement have told them, You've come a long way baby! Live with gusto!
Inverse 18 of this same chapter it says, "In that day the Lord will take away the bravery (Hebrew, TIPH'ARAH, meaning: "beauty; glory; comeliness") of their tinkling ornaments about their feet,... The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the headbands,... the earrings, The rings, and nose jewels (now a days not only the nose but the other parts of the body). The changeable suits of apparel,... And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet smell there shall be stink;... and instead of well set hair baldness; and burning (Hebrew KEIY, meaning: "brand or scar") instead of beauty. Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty in the war. And her gates shall lament and mourn; and she being desolate shall sit upon the ground." Look at the weeping faces of the woman in Kosovo and Russia on TV, and see your own faces.
Israelite women, especially those of you who may have been influenced by the godless Women's Liberation Movement, think about this. Is this what you want for yourselves and your loved ones?
Since the time of Eve, women have always been either a stabilizing influence on men, as they were designed by God to be their help mates, or they have aided in the destruction of men. They can, under enemy control, become a very dangerous tool in destroying Christian families.
Genesis. 2:20-24 indicates that a women will be happy, and fulfilled, she serves God as He designed her to be. She becomes miserable when she tries to wear the pants in the. family. These are not the ramblings of some chauvinist, but from the Word of God. When a man learns to love his wife as he does his own body (Ephesians 5:28-31), much of the competition between men and. women will become a thing .of the past.
In Jeremiah 13:22 we. read, "And if thou say in thy heart, Wherefore come these things upon me? For the greatness of thine iniquity (sin) are thy skirts discovered, and thy heels made bare." In Hebrew the word for skirt is SHUWL, meaning: "to hang down; skirt." The word discovered is GALAH, meaning: "to denude; strip bare." In those days captives were usually stripped naked before they were led into captivity -
In Isaiah 47:1-3, we see the plight of captive women: "Come down, and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter... sit on the ground: (These verses refer specifically to those Israel women who are taken captive by the Babylonians and the Chaldeans, but are the plight of all captive women everywhere) . Take the millstones, and grind meal: (be slaves to the conquers)... make bare the leg, uncover the thigh... Thy nakedness shall be uncovered, yea, thy shame shall be seen
Is this what you want for your wives and daughters? It is what will happen if we become a conquered people who have turned their back on their God.
Verse 10 of chapter 47 says of these women who have gone into captivity, "For thou hast trusted in thy wickedness (disobedience to God): thou hast said, None seeth me. Thy wisdom and knowledge, it hath perverted (Hebrew word for perverted is SHUWB, meaning: "turned back to do evil") thee; and thou hast said in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me." In other words, "Only I, and my desires are important! Isn't that the stand of the Feminist Movement?
This is perversion which will destroy our women and the Vital part they play in the Christian family, if we are sucked in by the enemy propaganda.
Notice that these women were engaged in sorcery and enchantments. Much of the Women's Liberation Movement is built on occult principles. 47:12-14 - "Stand now with thine enchantments, and with the multitude of they sorceries, wherein thou hast laboured from thy youth; if so be thou shalt be able to profit, if so be thou mayest prevail. Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, and the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from these things that shall come upon thee. Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame..." It appears that women are more susceptible to these wicked occult powers, than men and the truth for Israelite, men and women alike remain in obedience or destruction! You can't dabble in the occult in any way without incurring God's wrath! (Even simple things like a Ouija board, or the daily astrological readings.)
The entire book of Isaiah contains blessings from God for obedience, and dire curses and disaster for disobedience! This has not changed over the centuries. It is the same in true Israel today, as it was then, and is one of the major reasons many Christians refuse to accept the Identity message, they don't want the responsibility to God that goes with knowing who they really are!
Isaiah parallels the message of Moses, given to Israel in Deuteronomy 28, some 700 years earlier. We are given a choice today: "Humbleness of heart (repentance), righteous prayers, seeking God's face, and turning from our wicked ways, to obey Him." (2 Chronicles 7:14) This alone will bring "healing to our land." There is on other plan that will work!
Our people today are headed into captivity, because we refuse to accept the knowledge that is given in God's Word. Hosea 4:6 puts it this way, "My people (Israel) are destroyed for a lack of knowledge." The word knowledge in Hebrew is DA'ATH meaning: "a lack of awareness." Israel is being destroyed today, because our people lack understanding of what's happening to them. This lack of understanding is being encouraged by our politicians, our educators, and in many instances our religious leaders.
Webster's Dictionary defines awareness, as "to be vigilant; on one's guard; being socially informed." This truth spawned the saying: "Eternal vigilance is the price we pay for freedom." When we become uninformed on what's taking place, we lose this freedom.
One is aware of something when they come to a certain knowledge of it through observation or information.
This is one of the reasons I have written this book. It is to give you knowledge about what the enemy has planned for us and what he is doing, to accomplish it.
Knowledge is not Education. Education is the process of training to develop knowledge, skill, mind, character, and the ability to apply what one has learned. One has not acquired knowledge until they are willing to accept the truth, and act on it, no matter how shattering it may be.
Too often educated men and women, without knowledge, become the educated fools spoken of in Romans 1:21 - "Because that, when they knew God..." We could say they had knowledge of God. When they became aware of God through observation of the things which He has made. Here we could refer to Psalm 19:1 "The heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament showeth His handiwork..."
Paul said, even with all this knowledge, they did not retain God in their knowledge, and God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient (proper)." In verse 22 of the same chapter Paul says, "Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,"
Paul enlarges on these educated idiots in 2 Tiimothy 3:7 when he declared, "Ever learning, but never able to come to an understanding of the truth."
We have millions of these in America, in politics, education, and standing behind the pulpits of some of our largest most prestigious churches. They have had the opportunity to know God through observation of His handiwork and His Word, yet they were not thankful for this privilege, and became morally wicked as a result, when their hearts refused to accept God's truth. They love to impress men with a string of degrees behind their name, while in the eyes of God they are fools. Someone has rightly said, "Education without God, turns men into clever devils."
Education itself, without God is extremely dangerous, as we can see to our dismay in the anti Christian education system of 1999 and into this new Century. Prayer and Bible reading have been taken out of our schools as improper, yet a teacher can hand out condoms, and show their students how to place them on bananas, as they encourage sexual freedom, and we wonder why the morals of our youth have gone to hell
Isaiah 56:10,11 indicates that our shepherds (pastors), have for the most part become, "dumb dogs who cannot or will not bark." A watchdog that refuses to bark at the sign of danger is worse than useless. The same is true when pastors, politicians, and educators refuse to tell us the painful truth. Isaiah says, "these fellows are often more interested in gain, then they are in leading their people to the truth.
How anyone can look at the average TV evangelist in operation and not see this is beyond me. A few years ago, I watched a program on TRINITY BROADCASTING NETWORK (TBN) in what they called their nationwide PRAISE THE LORDATHON! While a Black preacher sweated and shouted his way through a message, across the bottom of the screen flashed these words - SEND YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS TO.... At one point the wife of the TBN president, a pretty blonde lady, made up to look like a street walker, danced her way across the stage, banging on a tambourine, while she screamed: PRAISE THE LORD, WE JUST PAST THE FOUR MILLION DOLLAR MARK!" It made me want to throw up! I thought of all the older men and women on Social Security who had a hard time making ends meet, who were sending in a few dollars, so Paul Crouch and his wife could live in luxury. This is not the Christian way! Isaiah said, "Doing everything for their own gain!"
Let's digress from this for a few moments, to look at this phenomenon which unannounced and mostly undetected, has crept into evangelical Christian circles in modern times.
It presents our church people with a New Cross. It looks like the Old Cross, but it's different! The likeness between the two are superficial; the differences are fundamental.
This part of my discussion centers on a pamphlet that crossed my desk a few days ago titled "THE OLD CROSS -VS- THE NEW CROSS.", written by Richard Ochs of Chapel Library, 2603 W. Wright St., Pensacola, Florida 32505, a ministry of Mt. Zion Bible Church.
I have take some editorial license with it without changing it's meaning. The New Cross, which has become popular throughout Christendom, has spun a new philosophy, a new evangelical technique. This new evangelism, employs much of the same language as the "old time religion", but it content has changed and it emphasis has become misleading and misplaced.
The Old Cross had no ties with the World Order. It carried into effect the sentence imposed on sinful mankind by God's Law at Sinai, that had been in effect since Adam's fall in the Garden of Eden. It said simply, "The soul that sinneth, it shall die!"
The New Cross on the other hand, is not too much opposed to the sinful condition of the human race; rather it becomes a friendly pal and if understood correctly, can provide access to oceans of good clean fun and innocent enjoyment. The New Cross lets sinful Adam live without interference from the church. His life motivation is unchanged, it is still pleasure, only now he takes delight in his sinful pleasure in the name of his Lord. His accent is still enjoyment of life, "You only go around once, so live with gusto!" Now walking hand in hand with Jesus, his fun is on a higher plane, intellectually if not morally. So Let's everyone give a clap for Jesus!" While we celebratein His name rather than worship. When life is over, we will go to that celestial abode and have an everlasting party with Jesus. Disgusting!
The New Cross encourages a new and entirely different evangelistic approach. The evangelist no longer demands that the sinner give up his old sinful life to accept Christ. In fact, very little is said about repenting. He doesn't preach contrasts, rather similarities. He seeks to key the public interest by showing that Christianity makes no unpleasant demands on it's converts; rather it often offers many of the same pleasures the world does, only on a higher moral plane. Whatever the sin mad modern World Order happens to be clamoring for at the moment, is cleverly shown to be the very thing their Gospel offers. The religious version, of course, is more spiritually fulfilling than the worldly version. So if your youth are attracted to worldly dancing, by all means hold dances in the church rec hall. They even had integrated dances, for it's better to have them there, under supervision than at some honky tonk If your church youth are attracted by the African savagery of rock and roll, have a religious rock band in your church, even though they play the same soul destroying music the hard rock musicians play. It has the same emotional effect, even if the words have a religious meaning. "After all, it is praising the Lord, you know!" and that's all that really matters!
The New Cross does not slay the sinner, it redirects him. It gives him a jollier, cleaner way of living, and saves his self respect. To the self assertive it says, "Come and assert yourself in Jesus!" To the egotist, it says, "Come and do your boasting in the Lord!" To the thrill seeker, it says, "Come and enjoy the thrill only Jesus gives, as you lead men to the Lord!" Yet I can find no Scripture which says that self respect; boasting; or thrill seeking has any part with the fruits of the Spirit.
Any Christian message is slanted in the direction of the current vogue to make it acceptable to the world. This is not true Christianity, it is worldly compromise!
The philosophy behind this kind of deception may be sincere, but it's sincerity does not keep it from being false. It is false, because it is blind to the truth. It misses completely the message of the Old Cross, the true Cross. Maybe that's why with an estimated 50 million born again Christians in America, we are headed for hell faster than at any time in our history. Maybe this philosophy is what causes sinners to want Christ as Savior, all right, but they want Him as a sort of Celestial Fire Insurance Policy to keep them out of hell. They do not want Him as King, although sing about it in their church, for when He is King, He must have first place in their life, and neither preachers or parishioners in most instances, want to stop doing their own thing, to give Christ absolute control of their life. Not being judgmental,just "By their fruits shall ye know them!"
Was this the kind of evangelism Christ referred to in Matthew 5:13, when He said, "Ye (Christians) are the salt of the earth; but when the salt has lost his savor (it's ability to act like salt and hold back corruption), wherewith shall it be salted? it is henceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and trodden under the foot of man." Is your Christian experience a garbage heap experience? or do you act like salt, and fight corruption wherever it may raise it's ugly head?
If not, the King says you are worthless in His kingdom, and fit in perfectly with the philosophy offered by the New Cross.
The Old Cross, the Spiritual Cross, is a symbol of death. It stands for an abrupt, violent end to a human being. A man in Roman times, who took up his cross, turned his back and said good-bye to his friends, and the life he had known. The Cross in those days made no compromise, it modified nothing, it spared nothing. It slew all of the man completely, leaving nothing behind but a skeleton that had been picked bare by birds of prey. It did nothing to keep on good terms with it's victim. It struck with evil cruelty, and when it was finished with it's work, the man was dead.
The race of Adam is under the death penalty for sin, today, just as it was 6,000 years ago. There is no commutation of this sentence and only one escape. God cannot and will not approve any of the fruits of sin, no matter how innocent they may appear to the world and in the eyes of unsaved men and women,' or no matter how beautiful they 'may appear. God saves the individual by spiritually killing him on the cross, then raising him to a newness of' life. This is why Jesus told us that we must "take up our cross and follow Him." In Matthew 10:38,39 He said, "And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me is not' worthy of me... he that loseth his life for my sake shall 'find it."
In Matthew 16:24-26 Jesus told his disciples, "If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take' up his cross, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole 'world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?"
A second witness is given in Luke 9:23. Then in Luke 14:27, Jesus said, "And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after (follow) me, cannot be my disciple." In other words, The person who refuses to accept rebuffs and persecution for the sake of Christ, is not fit to be a Christian.
So you see, the Cross is of supreme importance in Christian life, not just as a religious symbol one wears around their neck on a chain; not something we sing about in church, but a reality in our. lives, that shapes our every moment of life. We know from the context of these verses, that Christ is not saying that we must be literally crucified on a cross. in order to be His followers,. but that He must be of supreme importance in our lives; He must come first in everything we do! There is no easy way to be a Christian, as so often offered by evangelists.
Evangelism which draws friendly parallels between the ways of God and the ways of man, is false Scripture, and cruel to the souls of men who should be told the truth.
Faith in Christ can never parallel. that of the world, it intersects with it! In being called by the Holy Spirit to give our life to Christ, we do not bring our old life up to a higher level, we lead it to the Cross where it is extinguished! Jesus said that the "kernel of wheat must fall into the ground and die, in order to produce." (John 12:24)
We are not called on to physically die, in order to be saved, but we give up the world, as though we had died to it and it's ways! And He (God) raises us up from spiritual death, to be His sons and daughters.
We who are called to preach the Gospel must not think of ourselves as public relations agents sent into the world to establish good relations between Christ and the world. We are not commissioned to make Him acceptable to big business, the press, sports, modern education, or even the church. We are not so much diplomats, as we are prophets. Our message to sinful men and women is not that of compromise, but an ultimatum: "except ye repent, ye shall likewise perish!" (Luke 13:3) This is the major reason so many intelligent folks turn their backs on God. They do not like the truth!
Our God offers eternal life to all those who will listen to His Word and will be led by His Spirit to accept it. It is not an improved life. The life Christ offers is eternal life out of death! It stands on the far side of the Cross, and whoever wants to possess it, must be willing to pass under the rod. They must be willing to completely repudiate themselves, die to self and agree with God's sentence against them.
What does this mean to the individual; to the man and woman who stands condemned before their God? How can this theology be translated into reality? Simply, they must repent, under the wooing of the Holy Spirit and believe! They cannot come to Christ, as the evangelists tells them, of their own volition, but only as the Spirit leads them. The Word clearly says, "For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God." (Romans 8:14) Verse 16 in that same chapter says, "The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:" The 8th chapter of Romans gives us a thorough discussion of this salvation process of being led by God's Spirit to salvation. It begins with this wonderful promise: There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, (NOTE CAREFULLY NOW) who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death."
Do you understand this wonderful revelation? We are free from the law which says: "The soul that sinneth it shall die, when we come under the law of the Spirit.
Notice verse 5 - "For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. (Verse 6) For to be carnally (fleshly) minded (putting things of the world first in our life) is death; but to be spiritually minded (following the guidance of the Spirit) is life and peace."
This does not mean that we will not need earthly things in order to get along in this corrupt worldly atmosphere, but that we must place Him first, before all else!
Ask yourself how you stand on the basis of verse 7 - "Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither in deed can be."
Those of you who have been taught that Christ did away with the Law, need to take heed of this verse, for it clearly indicates that we cannot be God's children and violate His law. Paul sums up his thoughts in verse 8 "So then they that are in the (live) flesh (those who insist on doiposiheir own thing) cannot please God."
Have you ever heard a TV evangelist preach on this verse? Have you heard your pastor preach it? L never have! When an evangelist or a preacher tells you that all you need to do to be saved, is come to God, ask His forgiveness and ask Jesus to come into your heart, he is a liar! He is preaching a false Gospel, the Gospel of the New Cross, which is found no where in Scripture.
