Jesus as Man vs Jesus as WORD


For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
Jude 1:4

The most well known Bible verse is John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

If you Google images of John 3:16, you see tones of images representing the Cross.
Apostate preachers have over-emphasized the Cross instead of the WORD when interpreting this verse.
When Jesus spoke this sermon, the Cross had not revealed to the people.
What many fail to recognize is when Jesus spoke about "believing in Him", He meant that we need to believe in Him AS Living Word; the Cross is what He DID; the Word is Who HE Is!

John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word WAS God.

The act in the flesh (the Cross) that Jesus did for us, shows us God's unconditional love and forgiveness. God's love & forgiveness leads us to salvation (Romans 2:4 Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?), but is NOT salvation in itself.

We must factor in circumcision...

Colossians 2:11 In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. {Please Note Romans 8:1 in the NIV reads "Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus" cutting off the most important part which is "who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit." This has lead to the apostate (false-teaching) movement - which is the spirit of the anti-Christ, in the modern day church that has been set-up to deceive.}

The Gospels affirm we need to circumcise the flesh. So, when we circumcise the flesh, we acknowledge Jesus – as WORD (JESUS as LORD) and develop the understanding that we are in debt to Him (Christ).
Galatians 5:16-17 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
As we circumcise the flesh, we show Him that we are walking after the Spirit.

The majority of people only know Jesus by what appeals to them or by what they want or need from Him (love & forgiveness). This proves that we are living in the flesh and not in His Word.
1 John 4:19 says "We love him, because he first loved us."
This is what draws us, but not what saves us.

We must lay our lives down and endure to the end in order to be saved:
James 1:12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.

Our everyday lifestyle is very troubling - it is worse than Sodom & Gomorrha and the majority of Christians don't even recognize it. Our modern (apostate) church is too far apart from the early church.
Jesus said "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost Matthew 28:19".
We do not do what Jesus instructed here - which proves that modern Christianity has more to do with the spirit of the antichrist - rather than the Holy Spirit.
In addition to this, the majority of Christians struggle with self - whether it's through addiction, jealousy, indifference and indulgence. This shows God that our hearts are unchanged and that we spend our lives living solely for ourselves rather than for Jesus.

Matthew 24:38-39 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

Dear Christian, I encourage you to seek NOT the Jesus of the flesh (turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ. Jude 1:4), BUT to seek Jesus as the Living Word (JESUS as LORD).

“I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified Thy Word above all thy name.” Psalms 138:2

We are living in the Last Days, but what you may not know is the majority of Bible Prophesy has already been fulfilled; that means Jesus' Return can take place any second.

Matthew 24:12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
Keep the candle burning!

Jesus is LORD!

Delivered Me

1 Samuel 26:24 And, behold, as thy life was much set by this day in mine eyes, so let my life be much set by in the eyes of the Lord, and let him deliver me out of all tribulation. 2 Samuel 22:18 he delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them that hated me: for they were too strong for me. 2 Samuel 22:20 He brought me forth also into a large place: he delivered me, because he delighted in me. 2 Samuel 22:44 Thou also hast delivered me from the strivings of my people, thou hast kept me to be head of the heathen: a people which I knew not shall serve me. 2 Samuel 22:49 and that bringeth me forth from mine enemies: thou also hast lifted me up on high above them that rose up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man. Job 6:23 Or, Deliver me from the enemy’s hand? or, Redeem me from the hand of the mighty? Psalm 6:4 Return, O Lord, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies’ sake. Psalm 7:1 O Lord my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me

Where Is God?

2 Timothy 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof:  from such turn away. Where Is God? In the midst of all the evil taking place in the world today, many people are asking themselves "Where Is God"? Many wonder if He is comfortable up in heaven - looking down on all of us - doing a whole-lotta-not-much...  This leads to the assumption that God is in a far-away place. So, Where Is God? Romans 14:12 says, “So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.” The mere fact that people even ask "Where Is God" shows evidence that God is not operating in their lives ( Isaiah 59:2 Your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear. )  Today's Christian - or the Modern Church has been so watered down - and not operating as Christians did in ancient times. In ancient times, they had One Holy Bible; today we have versions and variants that have used language to dumb-us-

Ephesians 5:15-16 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. This verse exhorts us to be carefully aware of all the circumstances we face, AND to give careful consideration of all the probable consequences of our actions. Galatians 5:19-21 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. God is compassionate, loving – full of grace and mercy; however, we know that there will be those who will not inherit eternal life. It is not because God has failed, but because the heart of the person loved his own way instead Abiding in Christ Jesus. Abiding in Christ begins with the renewing
