The AntiChrist’s One World Religion
2021 Note: The prescient warning below was written at the turn of the millennium 2000 AD. It is highlighted now to show how much progress has been made indoctrinating and manipulating people, and nations. The original human personalities involved have faded, but are inconsequential, because the antiChrist spirit of the air (Holy Bible Ephesians 2:2 KJV) is still the driving force, preparing for the unveiling of The final AntiChrist, soon after Christ appears to take those who have believed on Him home. Come LORD, you have made us ready!

God’s Morality

How do we know God is right?
Q: A question which has bothered me lately is; how are the morals of God justified, what makes His moral values right, and others simply wrong? Philip
A: That’s very easy to answer in one word: Righteousness.

Prophetic Scriptures
Q: The Bible speaks about a new Heaven and Earth, after the return of Jesus. Who will be in Heaven, and who will be on Earth? Tyler
A: You refer to Rev. 21:1 KJV;
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
Whosoever Believeth

Whosoever Shall Call
The key to unlock the riches of God’s mercy, grace, and power is; calling on the Name of the LORD Jesus Christ, in faith, from a believing heart.
For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
At His Feet: Hearing

Luke 10:38-42 KJV
Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house. And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus’ feet, and heard his word. But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me.
How To Follow Christ

Walk in the Light as He is In the Light
Q: What does it mean to follow Jesus, after being born again? How does one follow Jesus completely? Sherry
A: What a beautiful question; simple yet profound.
Confident in Christ

Confidence: Now this is a wonderful subject with a barrel-full of blessing.
Persecution brings out the best in a true Christian.
When one martyr faced death, during Nero’s persecution of the first believers, he wrote his own epitaph.
They picked up what was left of his mortal remains and buried them in a hole.
Unwanted Pregnancy?

Overcoming Rejection
Q: My parents often tease me that I was, “an accident when their contraceptive failed”, so I’ve never really felt like I should have been born at all. It makes me depressed at times, so I was wondering how a Christian deals with this situation. Emily
A: Thank you Emily, I have very good news for you: Your parents are flat-wrong, and obviously don’t know the Living God: The LORD Jesus Christ, because they think and speak as the world does, Not as God Thinks.
Child Adoption

Stepmothers and Stepfathers
Q: Are there any Biblical principles bearing on accepting children from a previous marriage? Lydia
A: Indeed there are, in fact the entire Holy Bible could be read through that perspective, yielding rich rewards for the wise.
Seeing The LORD

Peace and Holiness
Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:
Heb. 12:14 KJV
Q: Does Heb. 12:14 mean that unless we live holy in this life we will never get to see God?
A: I’ve heard that strongly implied by preachers, “one slip and you’ll miss Heaven”, and bible commentaries often slant that way, but they are flat wrong.
Why Jesus Died for Us

Joy or Shame?
Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against him, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.
Hebrews 12:2-3 KJV
Alpha & Omega Christians

Use Your Spiritual Authority
Blessed Are They THAT DO His Commandments
I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
Rev. 1:8 KJV
And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
Rev. 21:6 KJV
I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
Seven Deadly Sins?

Where are they in the Bible?
Q: I’ve read your article on The Deadliest Sin, but you haven’t mentioned the seven deadly sins?
A: There’s a very good reason for that: There’s no such thing.
Harmony of the Gospels

Did Jesus Meet the Centurion?
Q: What about the differences between Matthew and Luke’s accounts of the Centurion and Jesus? Matthew’s Gospel says he spoke to Jesus himself, whereas Luke’s Gospel says he sent friends to speak for him. Isn’t this the Bible contradicting itself?
A: Like all the alleged “discrepancies between the Gospels” this accusation is a red-herring.
Cornelius the Centurion

Works-Based Salvation Heresy
Q: I’ve heard that Cornelius, the Roman Centurion in Acts 10, was already saved before Peter arrived. Is this correct?
A: No, it’s a deception propagated by several cults, for example; the JWs, “JayDubs”, aka. Russellites; followers of false-teacher Charles Taze Russell. They peddle it to support the heresy that salvation depends upon our good works.
