There are many scriptures which cause us to pause and consider how to interpret them. Some theories are probably more than just theory. Several scriptures in the Bible have troubled me throughout the years until God began to open my spiritual eyes to the spirit of anti-Christ and the condition of the pseudo-Christian religious world. Some of these scriptures are:
Matt 7:22-23 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Mark 13:22 For false Christ’s and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if [it were] possible, even the elect.
Rev 13:7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds and tongues, and nations.
Matt. 24:5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
Fulfillment of these scriptures from the perspective of one who sincerely seeks to enter the Kingdom of God may appear to be impossible as if they were meant for someone other then the true Church of God?
However, I believe the Spirit of anti-Christ has already overcome many through corrupt pseudo-Christian philosophies introduced to the church at large by those who hate the truth of God’s Word.
Their minds are convinced to believe error and the works of their hands bear out the source or the father of their errors.
These seek to find sympathy and acceptance for all kinds of sin to exist and co-exist alongside the Christian message of salvation using the old theological debates such as antinomianism (against Law) to justify their response and their positions on the issues of repentance, justification, and Lawlessness.
The antinomian issue itself is born from the pits of hell because it denies [God’s Law] as authoritative, proclaiming liberty to sin without responsibility or accountability and suggests that repentance is an impossibility and unnecessary because they believe Christ will not hold any human accountable for any sins. (Thus the once saved always saved doctrine was born.)
We live in a perilous time when theological debates will become so evolved in discussion that one might, if they are not a careful student of God’s Word, be overcome by a false doctrine laid before the Church body by the spirit of anti-Christ for those not submitted too, and led by, and taught by the spirit of God.
John 14:26 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.
1 John 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teaches you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is a truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
1 John 5:2,3 By this, we know that we love the children of God when we love God and keep his commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
Rev 12:17 And the dragon were wroth with the woman and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keeps the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Satan’s head was bruised with a deadly wound at Calvary but it was not unto death. (because his end is not yet come.) He is still trying to deceive and lead mankind to worship him through biblical errors and deceptions.
Isaiah 14:12, 13 How art thou has fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! [how] art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weakens the nations!
For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
Those who love God and are not deceived by anti-Christ will keep God’s commandments having the Testimony of Jesus Christ within empowering them by the Spirit of God, to resist the evil one, and they will not be ashamed at Christ’s coming.
1 John 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
1 John 2:6 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.
Rev 16:15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed [is] he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walks naked, and they see his shame.
We must not deviate from the examples given of righteousness and Godly lifestyles declared in the Old and New Testament books of the Bible. The book of Acts is a historic example of the first century congregational doctrines concerning baptism and repentance and a testimony of the guidance that the Holy Ghost bestows upon those who obey God. God Bless all.
