You're Not A Christian If.....

If the cross of Christ has not radically disrupted the very epicenter and citadel of your life, from self-righteousness, self-esteem, self-worth, self-promotion, self-accomplishment, self-confidence, self-rule, self-glory, self-satisfaction, self-desire, self-will, self-honor, self-praise, self-regard, self-pity, self-sufficiency, self-love, self-admiration, and a host of the many disguised manifestations of the abomination of selfhood....friend, you're not a Christian.

If only you have experienced but a minor shift in a few of your ethical, moral and religious values neurotically tickled by the sensual excitement of idolatry masquerading as "worship", that proves nothing but simply a sewing together the fig-leaves of humanism to both inadequately cover the nakedness of our sinfulness and adorn & indulge the wretchedness of our fleshly nature....friend, you're not a Christian.

If the engorged egotism and flatulent narcissism that plagues the ir
reverent and mediocre religion of disobediently postmodern evangelicals is all that you have clung to by the vainglorious tendrils of smoke in the popularity of false religion and thereby have held to many Scripturally untenable positions by a false carnal hope, whilst emphatically calling Jesus your 'Lord, Lord'....friend, you're not a Christian.

If you did not die with Christ Jesus, and if you do not die daily to self, and if you are not living a crucified life in Christ: my dear friend, I lovingly plead with you to hear me when I soberly tell you....you are not a Christian.

"I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave Himself for me." -- Galatians 2:20

Ps 139 exalts God and praises Him as personal Creator. It shows that He creates individuals with vast incomprehensible knowledge, power, skill, care, and purpose. This is not what evolution does. God our personal Creator cares for man, especially His elect whom He leads personally. This causes believers to praise Him, thank Him, be in awe of Him, and trust Him. Those who deny the sound doctrine of a literal six day Creation week do none of those things and instead devalues not only God and His absolute sovereign right over all creation, but also devalues man and sin. This is why those who deny Creation justify and tolerate sexual immorality.

Psa 139:13  For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. 
Psa 139:14  I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. 
Psa 139:15  My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. 
Psa 139:16  Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them. 

God's Creation

 Ps. 104 shows God's personal creation, care, maintenance and sustaining of His creation.

Psa 104:9  You set a boundary that they may not pass, so that they might not again cover the earth. 

There won't be a global warming that causes the oceans to rise and destroy the coastlands. Climate change won't be drastic because God promised to maintain the weather and sovereignly reign over it (Gen. 8:22 as well).

Psa 104:24  O LORD, how manifold are your works! In wisdom have you made them all; the earth is full of your creatures. 

Evolution denies God created all things in WISDOM. It denies God's due glory, worship, and fear, and it denies God's personal creation and sustaining of it, as well as His coming destruction of it in righteous judgment.

Evolution is illogical, without wisdom, purpose, and order, is deadly, and theoretically develops things frivolously resulting (glorifying) death without reason.

Evolution denies the value and high rank of mankind made in God's image.

Disntr Agrees With My Observation: "Conservatives" aren't conservative

 Finally I'm not the only one seeing and saying this.

Excerpts from Disntr:

 "A distressingly growing number of people who claim to be conservative are being taken captive by the LGBTQ movement and led to believe that sexual deviants, simply because they share a dislike of certain Democrat politics, have become our allies."

Indeed, there are many who have been deceived in this way—groups like “Gays Against Groomers” or Bruce Jenner, a cross-dresser and a contributor to Fox News, are now somehow the talking heads of the new conservative movement.

None of these people are conservatives, and none of these people are our allies. These people represent the very essence of progressivism, and simply because they don’t agree with some pet Democrat political issue, we are quick to rush and join hands with these circus clowns as a way to virtue signal our “big tent” mentality and, all in the name of diversity and inclusion, conservatives are now LGBTQ-friendly....

Can we genuinely claim to believe that same-sex marriage and the erosion of the traditional nuclear family precipitate society’s decline, while allying ourselves with “Gays Against Groomers” solely because their approach to their destructive lifestyle is slightly less radical?

End quote. (Bold, my emphasis, italics, mine).

It then goes on, "We shouldn’t be a big tent. We should be exclusive. True conservatives have morals, convictions, and should be unwilling to compromise them this way."  Continue reading here.

I've been saying this for while now. I'm glad Disntr is seeing it and saying something about it too. 

My belief of why "conservatives" are doing this is because they are desperate and want heroes, and want validity at best; at worst they were never conservative but only less liberal. Either way, this is the mentality of "voting for the lesser evil" outworking from politics into society.

They're ok with transgenders as long as they don't prey on children.

They're ok with homosexuals, especially the "conservative" types. 

Seriously?

"Conservativism" is suppose to conserve traditional values and principles, not the least of which is God-ordained marriage and family.

Conservatives aren't even pro-life now.

Conservatives applaud Democrat leaders who leave the DNC, not understanding that they are typically still liberal. The neo-conservatives' pragmatic view is, "the enemy of my enemy is my friend". That's corrupt, desperate, and pathetic. And it'll come back to destroy them, or more likely, assimilate them into their side.

More importantly, biblical Christians are truly and unwaveringly conservative, not by man's standard by solely by Scripture's standard. We are not pragmatic, nor desperate, therefore we do not violate Scripture and make allies with people which Yahweh (the Self Existent One (Ex. 3:14-15)) never sanctioned. We don't evaluate things by the flesh, but spiritually and according to the Word through the Holy Spirit.

2Co 10:3  For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh, 4  for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. 

1Co 3:19  For the wisdom of this world is foolishness before God. For it is written, "He is THE ONE WHO CATCHES THE WISE IN THEIR CRAFTINESS"; 20  and again, "THE LORD KNOWS THE REASONINGS of the wise, THAT THEY ARE USELESS." 

Jas 4:4  You adulteresses, do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

Isa 30:1  "Woe to the rebellious children," declares the LORD, "Who execute a plan, but not Mine, And make an alliance, but not of My Spirit, In order to add sin to sin; 

Isa 30:2  Who proceed down to Egypt, Without consulting Me, To take refuge in the safety of Pharaoh, And to seek shelter in the shadow of Egypt! 

Isa 30:3  "Therefore the safety of Pharaoh will be your shame, And the shelter in the shadow of Egypt, your humiliation. 

 If it didn't work for Israel, neither will it work for those today who use the name of Christ Jesus while seeking shelter in men---especially "less evil", but nonetheless, evil men. Seek shelter in the ONLY Rock that is eternal: God Himself.

Php 3:20  For our citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ; 

Apostate Hank Hanegraaff Endorses Homosexual Author For Defending The West

The former "Bible Answer Man" and apostate  Hank Hanegraff (now Greek Orthodox which is a works-righteousness religion), now promotes a homosexual for answers to saving the West. Never mind that a huge part of the West's downfall is it's sodomy. 

This started when he read Spencer Klavan's book. Be careful of what you read! Romans 1-3 makes it clear WHY we're at this point in the West: the rejection of the biblical God and His Word. Deny the Creation account, then you'll deny that the sin of homosexuality is especially heinous because that's a sin that goes against God's created order of nature and is dishonoring and deviant behavior, with its lusts as unnatural. An apostate like Hanegraaff will of course now consider these things to be of personal opinion, as he inferred in the clip. But he's not the first to go to the world for answers. Al Mohler has done the same but with Romanist author Flannery O'Connor and the cult of Mormonism. He also did the same with Marxist authors he read in college which he still goes back to. (Interesting that Mohler's discussion on Marxism was with Eastern Orthodox Rod Dreher.)

Be careful of the books you read. This was started by the apostate reading a book by the homosexual. The world's wisdom is absolute foolishness, useless, earthly, and demonic according to Scripture.

1Co 3:19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness before God. For it is written, "He is THE ONE WHO CATCHES THE WISE IN THEIR CRAFTINESS"; 20 and again, "THE LORD KNOWS THE REASONINGS of the wise, THAT THEY ARE USELESS."

Mal 3:13 "Your words have been arrogant against Me," says the LORD. "Yet you say, 'What have we spoken against Thee?'

Mal 3:14 "You have said, 'It is vain to serve God; and what profit is it that we have kept His charge, and that we have walked in mourning before the LORD of hosts?

Mal 3:15 'So now we call the arrogant blessed; not only are the doers of wickedness built up, but they also test God and escape.'"

1Co 1:18 For the word of the cross is to those who are perishing foolishness, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

1Co 1:19 For it is written, "I WILL DESTROY THE WISDOM OF THE WISE, AND THE CLEVERNESS OF THE CLEVER I WILL SET ASIDE."

1Co 1:20 Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?

1Co 1:21 For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not come to know God, God was well-pleased through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe.

Elyse Fitzpatrick Joins Matt Chandler, Beth Moore, and Gay promoter Preston Sprinkle At Conference

Elyse Fitzpatrick is to join heretical teachers like Matt Chandler and Preston Sprinkle, a homosexual and promoter of the gay "Revoice" movement at "Theology In The Raw" (the same name of Sprinkle's podcast) conference in March.  This is about promoting debates on various issues, contrary to Scripture. She continues to show embracing of heretics and their heresies, if at BEST, as a mere optional opinion rather than sound biblical doctrine that the true Christian not only is told to believe, but we're also told to not welcome nor greet false teachers who do not hold to the sound teaching of Christ Jesus (2 John 9-11). Preston Sprinkle, by the way, has taught at Cedarville University and Francis Chan's Eternity Bible college.  He is a huge pusher of sodomy within Evangelicalism.

Truth is never to be debated alongside error. Rather, Truth is to be proclaimed and error and false doctrines are to be destroyed and demolished by Scripture. Reject all these people if you value Christ Jesus and Scripture.

2Co 10:5  We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ, 

1Co 1:18  For the word of the cross is to those who are perishing foolishness, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 

1Co 1:19  For it is written, "I WILL DESTROY THE WISDOM OF THE WISE, AND THE CLEVERNESS OF THE CLEVER I WILL SET ASIDE." 

1Co 1:20  Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? 

1Co 1:21  For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not come to know God, God was well-pleased through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe. 

Eph 4:17  This I say therefore, and affirm together with the Lord, that you walk no longer just as the Gentiles also walk, in the futility of their mind, 18  being darkened in their understanding, excluded from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardness of their heart; 19  and they, having become callous, have given themselves over to sensuality, for the practice of every kind of impurity with greediness. 20  But you did not learn Christ in this way, 21  if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught in Him, just as truth is in Jesus, 

1Co 1:10  Now I exhort you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all agree, and there be no divisions among you, but you be made complete in the same mind and in the same judgment. 

Eph 4:4  There is one body and one Spirit, just as also you were called in one hope of your calling; 5  one Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6  one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all. 

Rebranding Jesus

We're getting blasted with the notorious "He Gets Us" campaign that promotes an anti-Christ Jesus with woke values, which has spent $20 million for a Super Bowl Sunday ad. Their funds are up to $100 million right now and one report states that the business expects $1 Billion in two years. But if you can't pay for cable or the internet, or pay for enough food or heating this winter, or pay for medication or other things, never you mind.

This is about a Jesus that the world just loves; one that winks at their sin; one that tolerates wickedness, is non-judgmental, fights for social justice, and has no holiness nor righteous standard. A Jesus Satan loves.

2Co 11:3  But I am afraid, lest as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds should be led astray from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ.  2Co 11:4  For if one comes and preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or you receive a different spirit which you have not received, or a different gospel which you have not accepted, you bear this beautifully. 

John 7:7 The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify about it that its works are evil.

1Jn 4:1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

1Jn 2:15 Do not love the world, nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

1Jn 2:16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world.

1Jn 2:17 And the world is passing away, and also its lusts; but the one who does the will of God abides forever.

1Jn 2:18 Children, it is the last hour; and just as you heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have arisen; from this we know that it is the last hour.

The true Jesus "gets you" alright:

Joh 2:23  Now when He was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in His name, beholding His signs which He was doing.  Joh 2:24  But Jesus, on His part, was not entrusting Himself to them, for He knew all men,  Joh 2:25  and because He did not need anyone to bear witness concerning man for He Himself knew what was in man. 

Heb 4:12  For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. 
Heb 4:13  And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are open and laid bare to the eyes of Him with whom we have to do.
