HAPPY SABBATH!

2 Timothy 4:3-4 For the time will come when they will not endure sound

doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves

teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto

fables.

2 Corinthians 11:1-2 Would to God ye could bear with me a little in my folly: and indeed

bear with me. For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I

have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you

as a chaste virgin to Christ.

2 Corinthians 11:3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through

his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. 4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom

we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him. [meaning: you submit to it

readily enough].

Galatians 1:6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the

grace of Christ unto another gospel: 7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble

you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. 8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. 9 As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye

have received, let him be accursed.

2 Corinthians 11:13-14 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is

transformed into an angel of light.

2 Corinthians 11:15 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.

Matthew 24:4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. 5 For

many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

Mark 13:5 And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you: 6 For many shall come

in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

Luke 21:8 And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore

after them.

Matthew 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs

and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

Mark 13:22 For false Christs and false prophetsshall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to

seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.

1 John 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try [TEST and PROVE] the spirits whether they are of God: because

many false prophets are gone out into the world.

Isaiah 8:20 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak notaccording to this word, it is because there is no light in them.

1 John 4:2-3 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the

flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is

that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

them that obey him.

THE REAL JESUS

Romans 5:8-11 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.

And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.

And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.

THE REAL JESUSTAUGHT FEAR OF THE LORD

Deuteronomy 6:1-2 Now these are the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD your God

commanded to teach you, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go to

possess it: That thou mightest fear the LORD thy God, to keep all his statutes

saith the LORD: will ye not tremble at my presence, which have placed the sand for the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass

it: and though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it? But this people hath a revolting and

a rebellious heart; they are revolted and gone. Neither say they in their heart, Let us now fear

the LORD our God, that giveth rain, both the former and the latter, in his season: he reserveth unto us the

appointed weeks of the harvest.

THE REAL JESUSTAUGHT FEAR OF THE LORD

Isaiah 11:1-3 And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon

him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge

FEAR OF THE LORD

THIS IS NOT THE SAME ‘FEAR”.

The FEAR we talk about is from the Greek PHOBOS(5401) and PHOBEOS (5399) PHOBEROS (5398)[terribly frightful]

THE REAL JESUSHere is what I believe a true gospel

message must produce in us:

1) A hatred for sin that allows no excuses or alibis.2) A conviction for all spiritual laziness and compromise.3) A conviction that we will reap what we sow.4) A righteous, holy fear of God prompting obedience.5) A confidence that Messiah will deliver us from every sin if we trust Him.

1 Peter 2:17 Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.

BIBLICAL JESUS OTHER JESUS

✓The One and Only and True Biblical Christ emphasized the teaching of grace in Hisparables.

✓Taught Faith in God and whom He sent (Jesus Christ – the Messiah of Jew & Gentile that believe)

✓Died in our place – a substitutionary sacrifice pleasing to the Father.

✓The Son of the living God in whom the fullness of the Godhead dwells.

✓Completes the believer thatabides in Him so they can restassured of their salvation by faith in Him.

× Downplays grace emphasizes observance to all OT commandments. (circumcision?)

× Teaches faith in own works, keeps you ever learning and never able to understand the truth

× Teaches God does not accept a substitutionary sacrifice especially of a human being.

× A good man, a prophet but not the Son of God. (not deity – just a man)

× Provides no assurance to abeliever, they are always working to earn salvation – faith is but a word and not the substance.

Full of Grace and Truth – All Authority An ‘add on’ to our religion - Impotent

BIBLICAL JESUS OTHER JESUS

✓The One and Only and True Biblical Christ said His followers would keep His commandments & He stresses fruit of holiness and obedience.

✓Stresses repentance & Warns the unbelieving, hateful, unforgiving etc will not be saved.

✓Real Jesus says some will be martyred and some have to go through the tribulation.

✓Real Christ warned against falling away and that we are to be ready for his coming.

× The commandments are done away/inconsequential & doesn’t speak of holiness or obedience much – stresses grace & faith without fruit of works.

× Rarely, if at all, mentions repentance & Fails to warn unbelieving, hateful, unforgiving etc will not be saved.

× False Jesus says all will go to heaven before trib (rapture) –ignores that it is the “time of Jacob’s trouble.”

× False Christ says Once Saved Always Saved – teaches no fear of God.

Lord of All and King of Kings Only a warm fuzzy “friend? & savior
