Because you have listen to the teachings of man you are
bankrupt.... physically and spirituality...

and you are deceived and are deceiving others not knowing that The Worst is yet to come!

We are so smart that we can advise Israel to give up its land (we elected our leaders, remember ) and to submit to what God has said will not be and by doing so we have written our epitaph....Gen 12:3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee:

The sins of a nation brings judgment on all...

Will the people of a nation that puts their faith in leaders they choose that will give them laws that support a welfare check from the government, that also
legalize the killing of babies by the same
administration, be the faith that Jesus will be looking for upon His return? Men are responsible to God not only for their individual sins but, their nations sins because they had a corporate voice in the election of the leaders of their country....the choices were theirs.... and they always voted their “pocketbook”

Has the cup of iniquity been filled?

The language of love and the language of seduction is the same...they both say “I love you”.

God will not judge us on how much we endure but, how much we loved.

We are to love our
enemies...they are God’s
creation also.

Wars are won
offensively ...not
defensively.

Preaching “this Gospel” (Mat24:14) is not that God is Love but, “Herod you are evil” and he that sinneth (1Jn3:8) is of the devil.

Preaching The Truth calling sin what it is, sin. This preaching is the reason the pharisees (the church) crucified Jesus.

The abomination: churchi-fied “Religion”... (most of today’s churches were started and/or controlled by Satan) the same churches preach the “sermon on the mount” but not the sermon “bring forth fruit of
repentance you generation of vipers”

These “religious experience” (head knowledge) churches today are Satan’s tools to deceive many and lull them to sleep and to get them to unify under his ministers... (2 Cor 11:14-15 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works) to control and elect “men of sin” to rule the nation with laws that legalize baby killing and to continue in letting the government be in the welfare business....a direct command by God for The Church, The Body of Christ to administer to the needs of widows and orphans and not the government.

Love thy neighbor as thy self....yes, be your brothers keeper!

man made God in his own image.....

As we travel down the road of life building our own nest, safety harbors and aligning ourselves with the ones that can do us the most good financially, socially and physically (love of the flesh) we are adding to ourselves mantels of victories as we overcome the weak, the unlearned, the social inept, the down-and-outters, the folks that Jesus said that unless we treated them as if they were Him, we will never get to see Him......!

The Israelites built the “golden calf” as their image of God..... What have we built and worship as God.....?

Are our altars of worship our elaborate homes, estates, our cars, planes, businesses, people we adore?

...... Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations. I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did evil before mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not.
Isa 66:3-4.

The morality of nation can readily be determine by the people’s choices of their elected leaders.

We are seeing Judgment now ...just as the Israelites could look out from their rooftops and see the approaching enemy as they partied and sang their songs....

Our country is seeing all the natural disasters, floods, fires, tornadoes, shortage of planted food supplies, crime of all kinds and now it has gone from the large cities to the small villages throughout
America...

and all we are concerned about is that we get our pockets lined via of the voting booth ....anything, everything goes....adultery, murder, robbery, grand larceny....total lack of morals...no mention of God and His laws and we have voted Him out of our affairs.

...we’ve partied with the devil and His crowd and the church has no say or credibility, because the world sees no difference from the so-called Christians and the world...they all look, talk, act and smell alike... they say God is a God of Love and not judgment and that we are not under law but Grace and that all is well, “peace and safety” (as long as we get our welfare programs).

Here is what is going on with the Church in other parts of the world:A scene from the life of the Underground Church. If That Were Christ, Would You Give Him Your Blanket? page 11

A Christian has been released from prison. He is a
farmer. He goes into the fields and prays, "God make me perfect." An inner voice answers, "Would you be ready to return to prison in order to become perfect?" He shrinks back. He has suffered so much. He replies, "Anything else, God, only not this." The inner voice says, "Then do not ask to be perfect." A long inner struggle follows. In the end the Christian yields. "Make me perfect at whatever cost," he prays. Soon he is re-arrested and put in solitary confinement. He passes a long term there. Beatings, hunger, lack of sun, no reading material. His only pastime is to communicate by Morse code through the wall with his fellow prisoners. One day he has near him a new prisoner. He asks him his name. It is the same as his own. It is his son. Encouraged by the heroic example of the father, the son has also walked the way of the cross and has also arrived in jail. The father thanks God for the privilege given him to have a confessor of the faith as a son. A remarkable step on the way to perfection.

What is this? An occurrence from the life of the Underground Church, as reported in ~Vestnik Spasenia~(The Herald of Salvation), the secret magazine of the Russian Baptists.

~Sovietskaia Bielorussia~ said, "Ignorant fanatics of the Utevsk Baptist Evangelical Christian Church have woven their nest in the area... They are determined to convert the population and to establish the rule of the evangelical ideology over the land, to introduce religious instruction of children and the abolishment of anti-religious propaganda. They urge each person to earn their salvation by active recruitment and winning others to Christ." The Moscow publishing house ~Znanie~ published recently a book by a Communist A. Shamaro, called ~lrreconcilability~. It thunders against the Christians. But at the same time it describes them:

"The preachers, the active bearers of religion in all its forms - in churches or sects don't laugh and don't make jokes. They act. They work day and night. They preach everywhere, at bus-stations and in hospital wards. They seek new men for the parishes or sectarian
congregations. They seek them everywhere. They would stop on the streets unknown men whom they saw to have a sad face... Day and night they seek the sheep that have gone astray. "Faith without works is dead," they say.
And the first work pleasant to God and which honours
him, ... they consider to be "the fishing of men," the
attraction of new adherents in church parishes and sectarian groups... If the dirty religious preachers and recruiters endeavour not to miss any occasion to fish a soul among those with whom they work, with whom they live in the same town or village, with whom they meet on the street, they surely do everything to fill with religious faith the heads of their children, and of the children belonging to relatives and acquaintances"

page 23 If That Were Christ, Would You Give Him Your Blanket? I met an Underground Orthodox priest from Russia. I asked him by whom he had been ordained He
answered, "We were ten young men decided on entering the ministry. No regular Orthodox bishop would have ordained us, because they can do this only with the approval of the Communist authorities, who put unacceptable conditions. So we went to the tomb of a martyred bishop, and formed a circle round it, holding each other's hand. Two of us held the hands on the tombstone. We gave an oath of faithfulness, which we had found in an ancient book of Church history; "I take on myself scourgings, imprisonment, tortures, reproaches, crosses, blows, tribulations and all temptations of the world, which our Lord and Intercessor and the Universal and Apostolic holy Church took upon themselves and lovingly accepted. So even do I, an unworthy servant of Jesus Christ, with great love and ready will take upon myself all these until the hour of my death." Then we prayed that Jesus might ordain us with His pierced hands. We believe He did." In my eyes, this ordination was valid.

page 8 If That Were Christ, Would You Give Him Your Blanket? What is this? A scene in the life of the Underground Church.

Rev. Fang-Cheng is in jail. He has been tortured, but has not betrayed the brethren. One day he is brought again before the examining officer. He sees in a corner of the room a heap of rags, and hears a rattling of chains. The image becomes clearer. It is his mother. But she did not have white hairs before. Now she has. The colour of her face is like ashes. You can see that she, too, has passed through heavy ordeals. The Communist asks Cheng, "I have heard that you Christians have ten commandments allegedly given by God, which you strive to fulfil. I would be interested to know them. Would you be so kind as to recite the commandments?" Cheng is in a terrible state of heart, but still such an opportunity to acquaint a disciple of Mao with God's law must not be neglected. He begins to enumerate the commandments until he arrives at "Honour father and mother." Here he is interrupted. The Communist tells him, "Cheng, I wish to give you the opportunity to honour your mother. Here she is in suffering, in chains. Tell us what you know about your brethren in faith and I promise that tonight you and your mother will be free. You will be able to give her care and honour. Let me see now whether you really believe in God and wish to fulfil his commandment."
It is not easy to take a decision. Cheng turns to his mother - "Mummy, what shall I do?" The mother answers, "I have taught you from childhood to love Christ and his holy Church. Don't mind my suffering. Seek to remain faithful to the Saviour and his little brethren. If you betray, you are no more my son."
This was the last time that Fang-Cheng saw his mother. The probability is that she died under torture.

page 12 If That Were Christ, Would You Give Him Your Blanket? Where are there such faithful pastors? Where are these zealous Christians? We do not meet them often in the free world (America). You have heard again about the Underground Church, as described by her worst enemies.

The visible church today is not persecuted because it has fornicated and committed adultery with Satans worldly systems .....they have become the lukewarm church. Rev 2.
