IS THE REFORMED FAITH BIBLICAL?

[amigo de christo]

I’ve just been brought to understand this..Amen!

the call itself many do reject . or they run to another jesus .
The call used to be made a whole lot but since many no longer even beleive the one true gospel
they rather attack those who remind about the one true gospel .
But the call itself is a message of pure beauty .
He who hears and answers the call and responds with an amen i BELIEVE
is a sheep . Have you ever noticed that for weeks or even years
people can sit in a church and even when the gospel was preached
they just continued to sit and go along in life as usual .
ONLY , suddenly one day THEY GET CONVICTED , THEY GET DRAWN
WHO DO YOU SUPPOSE is at work in said person drawing them
A HINT IT AINT THE FLESH sister . WE OWE EVERYTHING TO GOD and TO HIS CHRIST .
Its not the flesh that stirs us up to come to CHRIST , ITS THE SPIRIT OF GOD .
I cannot even take credit for having COME TO CHRIST , IT twas the FATHER WHO DREW ME .
AND HE DREW ME TO THE BIBLICAL JESUS , THE RIGHT ONE , WITH AN AGAPE LOVE FOR HIM above all
I didnt change my heart , I Did not change me . GOD DID . this is a fact sister . AND its time
to give all GLORY TO GOD , GLORY TO CHRIST and to preach and to remind all of the dire necessity of believing
on CHRIST JESUS . one plants , another waters , even that is by the SPIRIT , by the grace of GOD working
within them , BUT ONLY GOD can give the increase . WHO so ever hears amen
but who so ever rejects , Shake the dust off and move on sister . We cannot make THEM believe , we just do
as JESUS said to do , move on .

 

[amigo de christo]

I’ve just been brought to understand this..Amen!

Every plant that MY FATHER has not planted shall be rooted up .
Any and all who gives not GOD the GLORY
but tries to stand by his own merits , ,his own righteousness ,
has not submitted to the RIGHTEOUSNESS of GOD , has not submitted unto Christ .
You remember this the next time anyone tries to say
there are good people and even though they do not BELIEVE JESUS is the CHRIST ,
they are okay with GOD and KNOW GOD .
remember this the next time one stands to say hey if we just love then it dont matter what religoin
one was of , they knew GOD .
Remember this the next time anyone tries to tell you that false religoins LOVE GOD .
Because if one truly LOVED GOD , THEY WOULD HAVE LOVED JESUS THE CHRIST .
and if one had truly LOVED HIM they would have heeded THE COMMANDMENTS of GOD ,
TO BELIEVE ON JESUS THE CHRIST and to love one another .
HOW can a man cliam to LOVE GOD with his whole heart , IF HE LOVETH NOT CHRIST .
IF YE LOVED GOD ye would have LOVED ME for i came forth OF GOD . JESUS , HIS WORDS
can silence the mouth of a lie real fast . the question is , ARE WE GONNA BELIEVE HIM , or men who twist his words and omit them .

 

[amigo de christo]

Ritajanice , whose voice do the sheep heed and follow
HIS , or mans who preach contrary to him .
sheep dont follow strangers sister . they wont DO IT .
And i am fully persauded that ANYTHING JESUS SAID IS ABSOLUTE TRUTH . And that IF CHRIST said it , GOD SAID IT .
so hey everyone WHO WE GONNA HEED , GOD or men , Christ or a stranger who twists his words and even omits them .
But as for me and the rest of the sheep , WE HEEDING HIM . cause that is what sheep DO , they FOLLOW HIM .

Amen and amen, amigo! I am merely a seed-scatterer who scatters only in the strength of Jesus' resurrection. If we scatter, God plants and gives it growth. Once we share our seeds of witness, it's the responsibility of the people who hear them, not ours, anymore (Ezekiel 33).

 

[Ritajanice]

I have a friend @amigo de christo who is a non believer, she knows I am Born Again and I often share my belief with her, just lately she has actually been asking me questions regarding God....she said she finds it interesting.....Praise God, he’s in control.

We can plant a seed..only the Lord can bring that seed to life.

I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God made it grow. So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow.

Matthjew 15
12 Then His disciples came and said to Him, “Do You know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this saying?”

13 But He answered and said, “Every plant which My heavenly Father has not planted will be uprooted. 14 Let them alone. They are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind leads the blind, both will fall into a ditch.”

Matthew 13

The Purpose of Parables​

10 And the disciples came and said to Him, “Why do You speak to them in parables?”

11 He answered and said to them, “Because it has been given to you to know the [a]mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given. 12 For whoever has, to him more will be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him. 13 Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.

14 And in them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says:

‘Hearing you will hear and shall not understand,
And seeing you will see and not perceive;

15 For the hearts of this people have grown dull.
Their ears are hard of hearing,
And their eyes they have closed,
Lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears,
Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn,
So that I [b]should heal them.’
16 But blessed are your eyes for they see, and your ears for they hear; 17 for assuredly, I say to you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.

The Parable of the Wheat and the Tares​

24 Another parable He put forth to them, saying: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field; 25 but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way. 26 But when the grain had sprouted and produced a crop, then the tares also appeared. 27 So the servants of the owner came and said to him, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares?’ 28 He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ The servants said to him, ‘Do you want us then to go and gather them up?’ 29 But he said, ‘No, lest while you gather up the tares you also uproot the wheat with them.

30 Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, “First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.” ’ ”

The Parable of the Tares Explained​

36 Then Jesus sent the multitude away and went into the house. And His disciples came to Him, saying, “Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field.”

37 He answered and said to them: “He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man.
38 The field is the world, the good seeds are the sons of the kingdom, but the tares are the sons of the wicked one.
39 The enemy who sowed them is the devil, the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are the angels.

40 Therefore as the tares are gathered and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of this age. 41 The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who practice lawlessness, 42 and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

43 Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!

Thats right dear sister . Point to JESUS till the last breath . I will also be praying for this person too dear sister .

We must learn the pattern well my friend . The one both CHRIST and later the apostles also taught .
THERE is a reason for every word said . There is a reason and that reason works to the good of the hearer and doer .
But many in this last generation have long abandoned the instruction left by Christ and later the apostels in said bible .
IF we do this , destruction follows . Example . many stopped correcting sin and error WITHIN the church .
WHEN they did that , leaven TOOK OVER them places . THERE is a reason WHY
paul did as he did and why HE instructed them to do accordingly .
Leaven leavens my friend and believe me error will beget ONLY more error .
The pattern left by CHRIST and expounded upon by them apostels , IS the ONLY pattern that works to the good
of those who heed that pattern .
If one gives the devil even an inch he will become the RULER .
IF we heed GOD , the SPIRIT and that lovely sound doctrine that was left to us in said bible , WE DO WELL .
if not , Prepare to reap a down fall .

Bruce never forget the devil can quoate scripture . So marvel not if he can say GOD is love
but the version of love he gonna bring , WONT HONOR GOD at all . his version of love leads to only one , himself
the king of deceptoin and of lies . And how does he get the worship , THROUGH the lusts of the flesh .
That is why he preaches another love but uses the name of GOD . And most folks just love that version and that god .
But , well that is a deadly problem .
you see , charity , love would rejoice ONLY in TRUTH and not in inquity
There is indeed a way that seems right to a man and yet that way ends in death .
The flesh loveth that which is pleasing to the flesh
so when satan and his men come along and create another image of GOD and of CHRIST
by using another version of love
MANY seem to embrace it . But the sheep DO NOT .

 

[amigo de christo]

There is a way , a broad path way , a love that seems right unto man
but it is but death leading only to the second death .
THEN there is THE WAY , THE ONLY WAY the ONLY LOVE that IS OF GOD and IS RIGHT
and it GIVETH ETERNAL LIFE . We better start preaching that LOVE AGAIN and fast .
Cause to deny JESUS is the CHRIST cometh of anti christ .
TO give a pass to false religoins to unbelievers ends only with their death and their BLOOD upon the hands of all
that did such a thing .
THERE IS A BLOOD that saves and does cleanse , I Suggest we get real busy pointing to HE WHO SHED that BLOOD
so that all who do BELEIVE IN HIM would be saved . never give out false hope .
Giving out false hope is a like a man that went to a beach
and on that beach were many vendors who all sold diverse floatation devices .
And many were those vendors .
And yet on that same beach stood a small little shack that sold only ONE flotation device .
The many vendors tried hard to pattern their devices TO LOOK like the one sold by the tiny shack .
But though they colored them up and made their appearnce simliar
their devices did not float for it was steel painted white . and yet
upon that beach were people drowning in a great and vast ocean .
And the men on that beach ran to all those vendors and bought quickly their devices .
And only a few came to the tiny shack to get the RIGHT flotation device that can actually save them drowing souls .
WE HAD BETTER PREACH THE DIRE NEED TO BELEIVE ON JESUS THE CHRIST
cause BY HE ALONE can a man be saved .

enjoy the story i left us about the floation device dear sister .
The ONLY NAME this lamb gonna point too , IS JESUS THE CHRIST .
cause i dont give out false hope . ONLY JESUS saves .

 

[amigo de christo]

muhammed and good works cannot save but only graves .
Budda and good works cannot save but only graves .
There is no such thing as good people in other religoins .
TRUTH is i challenge all to find a man that IS GOOD , THAT IS WITHOUT fault
that falls not short of the glory of GOD .
As for me i was drawn long ago to the ONLY ONE WHO WAS AND IS WITHOUT FAULT , WHO IS THE GLORY OF GOD .
JESUS THE CHRIST . THAT IS WHOM this lamb gonna point all people too .
WHO can say i am without fault and have never sinned , that i am GOOD and RIGHTEOUS and have no need
to submit to the righteousness of GOD . AND THOUGH THEY MIGHT THINK THIS , BOY DO THEY DECIEVE THEMSELVES .
as for me , I AM GONNA POINT TO THE ONLY NAME that saves
the only name whereby ONE CAN BE MADE RIGHTEOUSNESS , JUSTIFIED by HIM and by HE ALONE folks .
Muhammed decieved billions
budda the same , as with any other religious mindset .
Even unbeliving jews dont get a pass . YOU SEE whether a man is born a jew or a gentile , ALL HAVE FALLEN FAR SHORT OF THE
GLORY of GOD . ALL NEED THE SAVOIR JESUS THE CHRIST . AND its time again to PREACH that NAME to all
and remind all TO BELIEVE ON HIM . Teaching them to observe ALL things HE did teach .
And boy is it high time to get a bible back into every church and seasoned men who can actually help this people .

 

[amigo de christo]

Whereunto shall we liken this generation .
Go to and behold what has been done for that which has been done ought never to have been done .
For they cried GO to and let us make better flotation devices for this people .
The original they do not come too , we must create a diverse many color floatation device
that will encourage all to come and buy .
SO to work they went . now as they worked a man came along
and warned them to not do such a thing . for the flotation device they repaint
is not the original . but they laughed him to scorn and cast him off the coast .
Soon they were selling all kinds of rainbow colored diverse flotation devices .
And many were buying them . along came another man and said YE must not do such a thing
for those devices are not the original . But they too laughed him to scorn
and said AND HOW many devices have you sold . WE SELL MANY , you can barely get any sold .
And they cast stones and insults at him .
As time went on many entered in and bought the rainbow colored devices .
And the men thought to themselves , man we are so wise , we have increased the numbers greatly
and they looked over at the tiny shack that sold the original devices and laughed and said
THEY can hardly get any to come and recieve that old fashoined , outdated device .
THEN a great and mighty storm arose and the ocean rose up
and the men said here we go lets get ready to endure .
But as the waters raged they soon saw their devices could not float nor withstand the fierce winds and great and raging waters
and as they were sinking they seen those on the original devices , at peace and floating .
MAN does as he does and always believes and thinks HIS way is better .
BUT GODS WAY is THE ONLY WAY and it endures all .

beware of interfaith . it has led to all out rebellion against THE TRUE GOD and HIS CHRIST and his saints .
Beware of men for we have many decievers scott and they are on BOTH sides of the political realm .

 

[Christian Soldier]

The general and effectual call is described here in Romans 10

14 How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? 15 And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written:

“How beautiful are the feet of those who [b]preach the gospel of peace,
Who bring glad tidings of good things!”
16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our report?” 17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

18 But I say, have they not heard? Yes indeed:

“Their sound has gone out to all the earth,
And their words to the ends of the world.”
19 But I say, did Israel not know? First Moses says:

“I will provoke you to jealousy by those who are not a nation,
I will move you to anger by a foolish nation.”
20 But Isaiah is very bold and says:

“I was found by those who did not seek Me;
I was made manifest to those who did not ask for Me.”
21 But to Israel he says:

“All day long I have stretched out My hands
To a disobedient and contrary people.”

None of negates the doctrine of election to salvation. Be cause the general revelation and effectual call are not the same thing. The general Revelation was given to justify Gods punishment of sinners, as it reveals Gods law to everyone, so all are without excuse.

So the general revelation has the stench of death to unbelievers, as does the gospel. But it is the aroma of life to believers, so it's the same in the sense that Gods law was revealed to both believers and unbelievers, but only those who God gives His grace and faith to, receive the effectual call. So they embrace the revealed gospel message gladly, while unbelievers will reject it forever, because they hate God and His gospel, with it's stench of death.

Even the verse "I was found by those who did not seek me" doesn't detract from election onto salvation. I know I didn't seek God but I found Him, because He revealed Himself to me. He drew me to Himself against my will, I hated God and I loved my sin so I wasn't planning to change my nature to make me love who I hate and hate what I love.
God is the One who regenerated me, apart from my approval or desire. I died to self and He made all things new, and now I love what God loves and hate what God hates, so I'm no longer under condemnation.

All of those verses above speak of God working in His people, through His Holy Spirit, to bring them to repentance. The Arminian man centered, works based, free choice version of the gospel falls apart at every turn. The scriptures simply don't support it, so the only gospel message that makes sense is the one where God is sovereign in salvation. It His choice and not mans choice, He is the One who elected His people before time began.

beware of interfaith and all who are of it . I , by grace knew where this was headed .
TO THE LIE . it has began and will increase quickly now .

For the unbeliever who never does believe, God commands them to repent and believe and follow Christ, but they never will, that is their natural minded choice, they are not spiritually minded not being inspired by the Holy Spirit as HE has not changed them. The natural choice of a man is to follow the lusts of their flesh and Satan, not Christ, even though God desires them to not do that, they do it as it is natural for them and it take a supernatural change to produce faith and belief in Christ. We were all like that once, like Ephesians 2 describes. We were like the children of wrath, but we were not them as God had a different plan for us.

God operates-works in the eternal realm, has it all figured out ahead of time. All of his works were done in eternity past. God declares the end from the beginning and the things not yet done as though they were. And so then after all His works, God rested....like Hebrews 4 describes...once you comprehend the awesomeness of that, you can truly see our Lord God reigns over all. God rested from all His works on the 7th day. That includes all of them from beginning to the ending.

And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, 2 in which you once walked according to the [a]course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience, 3 among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others.

4 But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 5 even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),

Acts 15
12 Then all the multitude kept silent and listened to Barnabas and Paul declaring how many miracles and wonders God had worked through them among the Gentiles. 13 And after they had [c]become silent, James answered, saying, “Men and brethren, listen to me: 14 Simon has declared how God at the first visited the Gentiles to take out of them a people for His name. 15 And with this the words of the prophets agree, just as it is written:

16 ‘After this I will return
And will rebuild the tabernacle of David, which has fallen down;
I will rebuild its ruins,
And I will set it up;
17 So that the rest of mankind may seek the Lord,
Even all the Gentiles who are called by My name,
Says the [d]Lord who does all these things.’
18 [e]“Known to God from eternity are all His works. 19 Therefore I judge that we should not trouble those from among the Gentiles who are turning to God, 20 but that we write to them to abstain from things polluted by idols, from [f]sexual immorality, from things strangled, and from blood.


Hebrews 4

4 Therefore, since a promise remains of entering His rest, let us fear lest any of you seem to have come short of it. 2 For indeed the gospel was preached to us as well as to them; but the word which they heard did not profit them, [a]not being mixed with faith in those who heard it. 3 For we who have believed do enter that rest, as He has said:

“So I swore in My wrath,
‘They shall not enter My rest,’ ”
although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. 4 For He has spoken in a certain place of the seventh day in this way: “And God rested on the seventh day from all His works”; 5 and again in this place: “They shall not enter My rest.”

6 Since therefore it remains that some must enter it, and those to whom it was first preached did not enter because of disobedience, 7 again He designates a certain day, saying in David, “Today,” after such a long time, as it has been said:

“Today, if you will hear His voice,
Do not harden your hearts.”
8 For if [b]Joshua had given them rest, then He would not afterward have spoken of another day. 9 There remains therefore a rest for the people of God. 10 For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His.

The Word Discovers Our Condition​

11 Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fall according to the same example of disobedience. 12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. 13 And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.

Our Compassionate High Priest​

14 Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. 15 For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

So when we read of all God's works being finished from the foundation of the world, this does not mean God is no longer working
It means God preplanned everything He would do and all those works, the framework of everything God would do, were finished by the 7th day of creation, and He rested in them. Those works would be actualized in time until the end of the world. God is the beginning and God is the ending, (plus everything in the middle). The Lord does not change.

So now God is executing the plan in His field the world


Acts 15
18 [e]“Known to God from eternity are all His works.

Hebrews 4
3 For we who have believed do enter that rest, as He has said:

“So I swore in My wrath,
‘They shall not enter My rest,’ ”
although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. 4 For He has spoken in a certain place of the seventh day in this way: “And God rested on the seventh day from all His works”; 5 and again in this place: “They shall not enter My rest.”

8 But to the Son He says:

“Your throne, O God, is forever and ever;
A [f]scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom.
9 You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness;
Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You
With the oil of gladness more than Your companions.”
10 And:

“You, Lord, in the beginning laid the foundation of the earth,
And the heavens are the work of Your hands.
11 They will perish, but You remain;
And they will all grow old like a garment;
12 Like a cloak You will fold them up,
And they will be changed.
But You are the same,
And Your years will not fail.”

Malachi 3:6
“For I am the Lord, I do not change; Therefore you are not consumed, O sons of Jacob.

Numbers 23:19
“God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?


Micah 5:2

The Coming Messiah​

“But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, Though you are little among the thousands of Judah, Yet out of you shall come forth to Me The One to be Ruler in Israel, Whose goings forth are from of old, From everlasting.”

Psalm 93:2
Your throne is established from of old; You are from everlasting.

Ezekiel 26:19-21

19 “For thus says the Lord God: ‘When I make you a desolate city, like cities that are not inhabited, when I bring the deep upon you, and great waters cover you, 20 then I will bring you down with those who descend into the Pit, to the people of old, and I will make you dwell in the lowest part of the earth, in places desolate from antiquity, with those who go down to the Pit, so that you may never be inhabited; and I shall establish glory in the land of the living. 21 I will make you a terror, and you shall be no more; though you are sought for, you will never be found again,’ says the Lord God.”
