SIN: THERE IS NO SIN WITHOUT CONCEPTION

James 1/13-15

Let no man say when he is tempted/tested, that 'I am tempted of GOD' (Why?) simply because GOD does not tempt anyone, neither can HE be tempted (because HE is NOT the tempter) by anyone. But, every man is tempted at the point when he is drawn away from GOD by his own lusts and when such lusts are fulfilled, they bring forth or give birth to sin (separation from GOD) and when sin is accomplished/completed, it brings forth death.

Points to note:
(1) Temptations comes from our lusts. These lusts are basically our desires in the flesh which the LORD identified as 'all that is in the world'. There are three levels of these desires and these are; daily needs, future expectations and past glories/things we want to be defined by. (See Mathew 4 to understand the temptations of the LORD JESUS)

(2) When our lusts is 'fulfilled' first in our hearts, then it sets us on the path of sin. Lusts must first be agreed-with, before they can be fulfilled. Without our authorization, sin cannot be initiated in our bodies. Every time we sin, we basically fulfill an agreement in our minds to validate what is wrong as being right. Without agreement to sin, these lusts falls away (the fleeing of the devil). So, at that point when your heart decides to take that action, the seed of sin is sowed in the heart.

(3) When the seed of sin is brought to harvest at the point where we take actions to fulfill them, the consequences of that action brings death.

I pray this morning that the LORD would be merciful to all of us and send forth HIS ANGELS to guide and strengthen us against the wiles of the enemy.

Read/Listen to the Word of GOD. We shall overcome sin and death through the CHRIST. Amen.

Watering Place Christian Fellowship

ADMONITION TO THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH: LOVE IS THE COMMANDMENT OF THE LORD.

On a recent episode of our Watering Place Christian Fellowship program on a radio station, a gentlemen called, who is a recent believer in the Christ and converted to Christianity. He had a question to ask and it was one that left me inspired to keep preaching as the primary purpose for which Christ died.

His question comment was, " I relocated from the North and settled here in the Southwest and got married to a woman from Ekiti. As a recent convert into Christianity from Islam (where I left simply because of the division and interfaith antagonism in Islam), I had started attending a CAC (Christ Apostolic Church) near my home. A visit from my sister-in-law (who attends an RCCG Parish) has left me a bit distressed. She (the sister-in-law) had informed me that she had become aware of my conversation to Christ and asked which Church I attend. I told her, it's the CAC, to which she replied, 'Is that a Church? You had better some to Redeem'. This comment has left me bothered".

My reply to him was to deal first with the falsehood of the 'Christian' religion as created by Rome/Herod, to tell him about the universality of the salvation, as taught by the CHRIST and to encourage him in finding GOD and a relationship with him, above the need to be associated with a denomination instead of a faith.

Let me explain here my response.

(1) The falsehood of the Christian religion.

The story of the Christian religion (not Christianity) will be better understood from the story of John the Baptist (of whom JESUS said, 'of those born of women, there is none greater than John), Herod (the king/government), Herodias (the adulterous wife of Philip who married his brother the king) and the Nameless daughter of Herodias who danced before Herod and got instruction from her mother to demand the death of Truth (John the Baptist)

The Christian religion (not Christianity) is Herodias the Harlot, Government is Herod, the Nameless daughter are the different denominations of the adulterous Church system and John is the Truth of the Gospel of the KING/MESSIAH.
What most people have experienced and believed about GOD/CHRIST, comes from what they have been taught from ROME. Every Christian establishment that turns itself into a government to rule over the people in the place of the CHRIST, determines who will be saved like GOD the JUDGE of all flesh, determines the days for which the people of GOD would come into HIS presence like a LAWLESS PRIEST , determine how and who can worship GOD in the stead of the CHRIST, is a product of Rome and blasphemes.

Note: the antichrist is NOT entirely an opposer of the CHRIST but one who takes HIS place over the people.

That is why the sister-in-law could not recognize CHRIST even when she had been in the Temple for so long.

(2) The universality of salvation as taught by Christ.

When HE was leaving the Earth, HE said to the disciples, "go yeah into the world and preach to them the good news (and) baptize the people...". He also says, "For GOD so loves the world that HE gave HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON....".

The two scriptures referenced tells that the Gospel is to the human race and that without love, it cannot be preached in Truth and in the Spirit of the CHRIST. The comment of the sister-in-law, is a product of the spirit that dwells in us (James 4) which lusts towards envy. It's the same spirit complained about when Paul said, 'the good I wish to do, that do I not...'. This is a spirit that the Church has largely glorified in their vanities, building temples in the place of the Body of CHRIST and creating kingdoms to rival the CHRIST in their ignorance.

(3) Finding a relationship with GOD.

There is no place in the Bible where the CHRIST established a salvation outside of a relationship with GOD. If salvation could be obtained by adherence to a simple rule of association, then the Jews would have been the best to be saved by works. Noah the 7th from Adam, preached for decades but could only save his home and those that entered into his Ark. You must also, find a relationship with GOD that makes HIM acknowledge you as HIS. HE saith, 'many shall come in my Name, (even) saying that I am the Christ. Follow not them'. The thief on the Cross is a classic example of what is most needful; a relationship with CHRIST/THE KINSMAN REDEEMER is far above the hypocrisy of the Scribes and Pharisees who daily read and taught about the MASTER, but didn't see HIM when HE came. GOD help us all!

I want to encourage my Muslim brothers, to A.S.K. (Ask, Seek and Knock) questions and not be shy to find out what they can about the CHRIST. I am not talking about the Caucasian picture of the order of Rome that many have assumed to be the image of the Son of GOD, but to find that Jewish Carpenter who was born in the Manger and spent His Life taking care of the needy and healing the sick. You will find HIM, when you ASK HIM to reveal HIMSELF to you. HE is always ready and willing and those of us who preach HIM must not rule over you, but as midwives, we herald you into a glorious relationship with our KING and LORD. He says, "Come all ye that labour and are heavy laden and I will give you REST".

Find that Jewish Carpenter for yourself and do not let the merchandisers at the door, spoil your heart from entering into the Temple of the KING.

... In Genesis 3, Eve spoke with the 'serpent' who introduced himself by asking her is GOD had told them not to eat of every Tree in the garden, to which she had answered and said, "of every Tree, we may freely eat but of the Tree that is in the midst of the garden, we shall surely not eat (why?); for in the day that we eat of it, we shall surely die'. The serpent answered her by speaking his own truth, based on the limitation of his knowledge by telling her, "you shall not surely die, for God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil".

By that simple yet complex statement from the serpent, humanity is where it is today.

The serpent and the Tree (Angel) are one and the same; it's description as a serpent is because of the nature of that Tree aka Angel. When he seduced Eve, what he sought was a body (a temple) and in Eve he found that dwelling place. Indeed, she became 'wise' and from that point, knew what was Good and Evil and became like a god; a nature Adam already had by birth.

Eve (the mother of all living), upon taking up the nature of the Tree, then seduced her husband to become like her. Surely, Adam was pre-warned by his FATHER for this simple reason that HE (THE ONE AND ONLY GOD) knew that the revelation of Adam at the creation of Eve was divine, not having been taught nor obtained from the Tree (Angel) of Knowledge (both of good and evil) and thus would be sought by the Tree/Angel who has glorified himself as the fullness of all that was known.

When Eve fell and brought Adam into her state by tempting him, she defeated a man and gave her first son the name Cain meaning 'i have gotten a man with the help of the Lord'. Hmm, isn't that what she did when she conquered Adam? Which LORD did she name Cain after? Who was her Lord after she sinned? Definitely, not the FATHER but the Tree of Knowledge. She surnamed her own children and took up the role of her husband.

Now, why are we all tempted to sin as humans? The simple answer is in Eve. She (the mother of all living) births only after the kind she had become. In creation, each human come into life bearing the evidence of that error of that sin in Eve by being born with the image of that Tree and so the Bible declares, "all have sinned and come short of the GLORY (IMAGE) of GOD". Wonder where Satan tempts you from? It's from within your mind; which in itself is double-natured like the Tree. Understand now why the Bible says, 'have the Mind of the Christ'?

Outside of the CHRIST, who came as the SEED of the woman to break the stronghold of the Serpent in mankind, none can be saved. It has nothing to do with whether you are a Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, Taoist, Shintoists, Animist, Stupidist, if you don't have the Christ formed in you while you are alive, you will not be 'separatable' from Eve's transgressions and thus, must have your part in the judgement of the serpent aka the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, aka the Double-minded, aka Knowledge bringer.

Wisdom is profitable to edify and to save. The arguments of religion does not suffice to save and only HE who triumphed against Eve's desires and Adam's capture, can guaranty by HIS WORD, our salvation.

Amen.
