Vital Truths and Eternally Fatal Deceptions:
1.
Vital Truth: Fear,
respect, love, and obey God with all one's heart as our Almighty,
all-knowing, omnipresent, righteous, and holy Creator and Father. Any
honest and thinking person can clearly see and know God created the amazing and
beautiful life, world and universe. Dead matter could not create life or
itself. To fear God is the beginning / prerequisite of wisdom. Fatal
Deception: Not fearing, respecting, loving, and obeying God with all
our hearts as our Creator God. An unthinking fool states there is no God and
does not fear Him.
2.
Vital Truth:
God states we shall surely die if we sin. If we sin, God says we are
dead, Jesus says He will deny knowing us, we are slaves of sin, we have no
light or truth, and John says we do not know God, have not seen Him and are of
the devil. Without holiness, we shall not see God. Revelation 3:1-2
states: "I know your works, that you have a name that you live, and are
dead. Be watchful and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to
die. For I have not found your works perfect before God." Also, see
Matthew 7:21-23. If we truly believe these truths, we shall fear Him, start to
be wise, and we shall seriously seek Jesus to deliver us from all our sins. Fatal
Deception: Not believing God's words when He said we shall surely die if
we sin but believing Satan's lie that we shall surely not die if we sin.
If we do not believe this, we shall not fear God, and without the fear of God, we
cannot have wisdom and have not even started to think. Then we shall also not
believe Him when He commands obedience and holiness. If you believe you are
saved and going to heaven without holiness or that you will not die despite
still sinning for whatever reason e.g. because of atonement or substitution,
you have been fatally deceived by Satan himself.

Vital Truth:
Our loving and holy Father in heaven and His Son in His bosom experience deep
grief, murderous and crushing pain when humanity sins. Our sins against
God grieved God and fell on, pierced, and slayed the Lamb of God who came
to deliver us from sin. (Gen 6:5-6; Ps 69:9, 20; 78:40-41; 95:10; Isa 7:13;
43:24; 53:5; 63:10; Ezek 6:9, Amo 2:13; Zec 12:10; Mal 2:17; Heb 3:10; 1Pe
2:24; Rev. 13:8). Therefore, the death penalty for sin is justified. God
allowed this to break our hard and sinful hearts to repent deeply and return to
Him – as in Acts 2-4 and in Paul in Acts 9. Fatal Deception: To ignore
and deny our Father’s and Jesus’ deep grief, crushing and murderous pain due
to sin by listening to a liar, thief, and murderer (Satan) rather than to our
Father.
4.
Vital truth: God
promised deliverance from sin from the beginning to Adam and Eve, and is
reaffirmed throughout Scripture, notably in Genesis 3:15 and Luke 1:67-80 - with
an oath. Believers are to seek God for this true deliverance, so that sin may
cease and holiness may be lived. This promise of deliverance from sin is
fulfilled by Jesus Christ, the Anointed Deliverer, who destroys the works of
Satan (1Joh 3:8) and sets us free indeed from all sin (Joh 8:36), makes us holy,
and so avoid spiritual death. Fatal deception: Gaining knowledge of good
and evil, e.g. Bible studies, training, prayers, etc. whilst continuing in sin
and not above all seeking and believing Jesus can deliver me from sin and make
me holy, are fatal deceptions that lead to spiritual death. Believing we cannot
be made holy, is believing our weaknesses are stronger than Jesus and stronger
than His blood, which is the ultimate of unbelief. 1 Timothy 6:3-5 says those
who oppose holiness are proud, knowing nothing, perverse disputers, corrupt,
and destitute of the truth, and one should depart from them!
5.
Vital Truth:
God hates the belief that a sacrifice pays our debt and appeases Him. He wants repentance,
righteousness, justice, mercy, holiness, a broken and contrite heart.
Therefore, our holy Father and God incarnate came to earth as Jesus to deliver
His people from their sins. Jesus proved His divinity by His birth, life,
words, and works, but He was despised, rejected, and murdered by sinful mankind
(you and I). To confirm His divinity and prove we killed our God, He arose from
death and now sits with God to judge all who did that to Him. We therefore need
to thoroughly repent from ALL sin. Fatal Deception: Believing "penal
substitutionary atonement" (PSA), i.e., that God punished Jesus as an
atonement in our place – so that we may not be punished and die for our
continued sinning and to falsely believe a sacrifice pays our debt and guilt
and appeases God. If we believe this, Satan has succeeded in the ultimate
deception of our "Christianity". Satan managed to deceive and
convince "Christians," through PSA, to absolve themselves of Jesus'
death, whilst Jesus repeatedly said mankind and sinners will martyr and kill
Him and to falsely blame and blaspheme God for His death. This lie removes the
fear of God, allows for sin to continue, makes us believe Satan's lie that we
shall surely not die if we sin, makes us not believe Jesus can cleanse and
deliver us from all sin but that He atones for and covers sin, makes us believe
holiness is not possible or essential - despite God's commands. We continue to
reject and kill Jesus through our sins, blame God, absolve ourselves – and are
thankful and happy He died for us and paid our debts on “Good Friday.” This is
the greatest evil and worst lie and deceit of all – and practically all
"Christians" believe this. This deception is supported by wrong
translations, for example:
The Hebrew "Kâphar"
(Strong's H3722) should have been translated as "purging or cleansing".
The blood of animals and of Jesus, which were spilled because of sin, were
intended to purge and cleanse us from sin Lev 16:30. The OT and NT, especially Hebrews
and Revelation confirm it repeatedly e.g. Psalm 51:16; Isaiah 1:16; Dan
9:24; 1Joh 1:7, Rev 1:5, 7:14
Hebr. 1:3; 9:13-14, 22; 9:22, 10:1-2, 4, 10,
14, 22.
Fatal lie: Hebrew "Kâphar" translated
as "atone" instead of "purging or cleansing," implying it
appeases God, covers, and pays for sin.
Hebrew "min" (Strong's
H4480 (e)), and Greek "Dia (G1223), peri (G4012), and huper (G5228)"
and Aramaic "MetuL (S11636) and KhLaaPH (S7196)" should have been
translated as "because of, by, or through" to say, for
example: Isaiah 53:5: "But He was wounded because of our
transgressions; He was bruised because of our iniquities". Matthew
26:28: "For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed because of many
for the forgiveness and deliverance (aphesis) of sins". Romans 4:25:
"who was delivered because of our offenses". Our sins of
commission and omission caused and resulted in Jesus' rejection, wounds, and
murder.
Fatal lie:
Hebrew "min" and Greek "Dia, peri, and huper" and
Aramaic "MetuL and KhLaaPH" are wrongly translated as "for"
us and our sins (e.g. in Isa 53:5, Mat 26:28, Rom 4:25), instead of
"because of, by, or through," to support the PSA deception and
absolve man of their guilt in murdering Jesus.
Isaiah 53:10 correctly translated
says: "Yet it was the Lord's will (it pleased the Lord) to be bruised;
to be made weak." This means Jesus allowed us to do this to Him. Fatal
lie: Isaiah 53:10 is wrongly
translated to shift the blame to God for bruising Jesus and to absolve man to
think he will not die if he sins because Jesus was bruised and punished by God.
It is blasphemy to blame God for Jesus’ wounds and not yourself.
Matthew 27:46 correctly translated
should say: " Eli, Eli, lmana shabachthani. My God, My God, for this I was spared". The Scriptures repeatedly say
God will never desert His saints and Jesus repeatedly said the same and that
God is in Him - always. Joh 14:10; 8:16, 29; 14:10; 16:32 Deu 4:7;
31:6 1Sa 12:22 Psa 22:21; 22:24 -25; 23:4; 27:9, 10; 31:22; 34:7,
18, 22; 37:25, 28; 46:1, 5; 7, 11; 145:18, 20; Is 50:5-9; 63:9; Jer 23:23; Mat_1:23;
Joh_14:18-23; Joh 14:23; etc.
Fatal lie: Matthew 27:46 was wrongly translated
to say Jesus said God deserted Him, falsely postulating it was because Jesus
bore our sins, became a sinner, was punished in our place, and paid our debts,
again absolving the sinner and making him think he shall surely not die if he
sins because Jesus was deserted in our place.
Greek "sozo" (G4982) should
have been translated uniformly as in the ABP as "deliver,"
meaning Jesus delivers us from our sins through faith in Him.
"Deliverer" and "deliverance" are also the proper
translations of G4990 so¯te¯r so-tare' deliverer, G4991
so¯te¯ria - deliverance. Fatal lie:
Greek "sozo" was changed to say we are "saved" by faith,
i.e., we are going to heaven if we believe in Jesus – even if we still sin.
This is the very same lie of Satan to Eve – "you will not die if you still
sin because you are 'saved' by your faith". "Deliverer" and
"deliverance" were also changed to "Savior" and "salvation"
to convey the same deception.
"Justification and
sanctification by faith" happen when we believe all the above truths;
then we will fear God, repent, confess our sins, and call on God's promise through
Jesus to destroy Satan and deliver us from sin. Then He will do it, He will
change us, and He will MAKE us righteous, just, and holy, as with Abel,
Enoch, Noah, Joseph, Moses, Job, the apostles, Paul, etc.. Fatal lie:
Satan's fatal lie also says, by faith in the PSA of Jesus, God "sees and
declares" us as righteous and holy – even if we still sin.
"Holiness" means without
sin. Fatal lie: "Holiness" is instead interpreted as "set
apart". If it is meant “set apart” from sin, it would be true, but this is
not what is meant by people who believe this deception.
Other Fatal lies: "Eternal
security of salvation" and "eternal election," “once
a child, always a child” despite still sinning, are the same Satanic lies.
All deceptions, lies, and wrong
translations are aimed at making men believe Satan's lie that they shall surely
not die if they sin. Every teaching that tolerates or excuses sin, that denies
the death penalty for continuing sins and that denies total deliverance and
holiness through Jesus, is Satanic.
What
shall we do?
Read Is. 53, 1 Peter 2:24-25,
Zechariah 12:10, & 13:1-2, Acts 2-4 and Paul in Acts 9, Rom 4:25. Listen to the Holy Spirit, Look up to
Jesus whom you have pierced, Confess with remorse that Jesus bore your sins in
His body on the cross and that your sins have pained, martyred, pierced and murdered Him,
Repent thoroughly, get baptized into His death to sin, and make restitution.
Then He will forgive, wash, cleanse, and deliver you from all sin through His
blood that you confess you have spilled. He will fill you with His Holy Spirit,
make you righteous and holy, and give you victory over Satan so that sins may stop,
you may be made holy, that you may pierce Jesus no more, and that you may not
die in your sins but live victorious over Satan and sin.
Then obey Jesus’ Great Commission
in Matthew 28:18-20: All authority is His. Make others Jesus’ disciples, teach
them to obey all that He commanded us, and He will be with you. Start with your
neighbours. They also grieve and pierce Jesus with their sin and have been
wounded by Satan.
Meet in your houses according
to Acts 2-6 and 1 Cor 12-14 with your neighbours who also repented. Then go
further. If we don’t, we are accomplices to Jesus’ and our neighbours’ wounds
and death (Ezekiel 3, 33).

Vital Truth:
God established house churches and destroyed temple-, learned-, trained-
preacher- or clergy-centred churches as in Acts and for the first 200-300
years. Jesus alone is Head of one church. No denominations and no one
must rule or take titles. God hides His wisdom from the learned but reveals it
to the lowly. We do not run after the famous, learned, qualified, appointed,
paid, etc. Everyone cleansed from sins by Jesus’ blood becomes a priest for
God and a member of the body of Jesus with God-given gifts to edify all.
The weakest members are more necessary, and God gives greater honour to the
members who lack it (1 Cor 12), e.g. by revealing His wisdom to the lowly. All
in agapé love may prophesy/preach, 2-3 at a gathering (1 Cor 14). These
are God’s commands, and true spiritual prophets obey this. Then people will
repent, confess sins and acknowledge God (1 Cor 14:24-25). The fulness of God
will fulfil all on all (Eph 1:23) and He will make His manifold wisdom known to
principalities and powers through the church (Eph 3:9-11). This will bring the perfect
unity, as per Jesus' death-prayer in John 17, which would convince the
world that God has indeed sent Jesus.
Gatherings: Call your gatherings "……….(town
name or neighbourhood) House Church" on social media to inform Christian
neighbours where you meet. Later, meet with other similar house churches as it
expands. This is the Biblical way to change people and societies until He
returns.
Fatal Deception: Satan led deceived men away from
house churches to establish temple-, building-, denominational-, learned-,
priest- and preacher-centred gatherings. This resulted in the many divisions
and many pastor-led churches in every town. God rejected such gatherings after
Jesus' crucifixion. They were later established to maintain deceptions,
suppress the truth, cause denominational divisions, and oppose Jesus' prayer
for unity. The learned theologians took titles e.g. “Pastor”, “Reverend”, “Bishop”,
“Father”, “dominee”, etc. became leaders and rulers, garnered followers,
preached alone and only their lies without God’s wisdom, and their permission
must be sought to speak, contrary to Jesus' teaching. These egocentric learned denominational
church leaders/chief priests were and are the biggest opposers and persecutors
of the truth of God and are the dividers of Jesus' body! God ignores gatherings
that ignore 1 Corinthians 14. It is no use to drive past your neighbours and
attend unbiblical building- and preacher-centred churches which God ignores.
Denominational churches are ALL unBiblical. Remaining with them makes you an
enabler and an accomplice.
