Chapter 10
We all of different beliefs and understanding of God’s word find that we sometimes really don’t know if we see the true light of Christianity, or if we are living a Christian Life, and more so how can we tell who the Antichrist is and if he is here now or not? Well I put this together in hopes of helping us see better and deeper as to this and much more so please remember that we too are human like you and we learn as much from you as you may learn from us and together we shall teach each other as brothers and sisters and spread the seed to all nations and people of the world together in Christ Jesus.
Now we can see a new outlook on where we are headed in our life and where not to go if it is presented to us in any other way then God’s word. Above is a list of three words used to describe the effects of our beliefs, but if you will look very closely to the fact that in two of the words CHRIST is on top and one has CHRIST on the bottom what this shows is that if we put CHRIST first in our live we will not fall into the wrong ways instead we will follow Him anywhere as He asked us to come in the one true light, and if we don’t put CHRIST at the head of our lives we find as in the third word that we fallow the evil one and that will only lead us to total unrest for all eternity. Always remember that they may us God’s word for their interest so always ask God if it’s His word or theirs and trust God to give you the correct answer believe me He will. Paul, tell us in Titus.
Titus 2:11-15
For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;
Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.

The grace and salvation in the Bible by the gospel, is for all ranks and conditions of humanity / humans. They teach us to forsake sin, it teaches to make conscience of that which is good. We must look to God in Christ, as the object of our faith and worship. A gospel conversation must be a godly conversation. See our duty in a very few words; denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, living soberly, righteously, and godly, despite all snares, temptations, corrupt examples, ill usage, and what remains of sin, with all their hindrances. It teaches us to look for the splendors of another life. But in the glorious emerging in Christ, the blessed hope of Christians will be complete: To bring us to holiness and happiness was to the end of Christ's death. Jesus Christ, that great brother and our Savior, who saves us from our sins, much less as Man alone. He loved us, and gave himself for us; and what can we do less than love and give up ourselves to him! Redemption from sin and sanctification of the nature go together, and make up the children of God, free from guilt and condemnation, and cleansed by the Holy Spirit. All Scriptures are invaluable. Here is what will supply for all parts of duty, and the right release of them. Let us inquire to whether our whole faith is placed upon that grace which saves the lost, pardons the guilty, and sanctifies the unclean, yes further we are removed from boasting of fancied good works, trusting in them, so that we glorify in Christ alone, the more zealous should we be to abound in real works that are good.
1 Corinthians 1:7-9
So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ:
Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
Phillippians 3:20-21
For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:
Who shall change our vile body that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.

1Thessalonians 3:13-12
And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you:
To the end he may establish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.
Source: King James 1611
Paul tells us of a very important fact we need to remember always that: In the presence of such grace they ought to be ashamed of sin. Nor can there be a more remarkable testimony than is here found of reckoning on the faithfulness of God towards His people. The relationship does claim holiness: in holiness alone it is enjoyed; but it reposes on the faithfulness of God. The Corinthians were walking, as we know, badly. The apostle lets none of the evil pass; but still he declares that God was faithful and would confirm them to the end that they might be-not safe, but-blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ, and then proceeds to blame them, what a wonderful testimony!
Colossians 3:1-4
If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right handof God.
Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory?

Psalm 25:1-21
A Psalm of David. Unto thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul?
O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.
Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause.
Shew me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths.
Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.
Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy loving kindnesses; for they have been ever of old.
Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness' sake, O LORD.
Good and upright is the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners in the way.
The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.
All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his
testimonies.
For thy name's sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great.
What man is he that feareth the LORD? Him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.
His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth.
The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant.
Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net.
Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I am desolate and afflicted.
The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out of my distresses.
Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins.
Consider mine enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred.
O keep my soul, and delivers me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in thee.
Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee.

As we have risen with Christ, we are to set their affections on things above, where Christ sits at the right hand of God, and not on things on the earth. The two could not go together. To look, to have one's motives, above and below at the same time is impossible. Be tempted by things, have to resist them, we may; but this is not to have them as our object. The reason for this is however found in our position: we are dead, and our life is hid with Christ in God. It does not say, "We must die." Man cannot do this by will: There’s one last point to be made and that is the last word above “Antichrist” “so let’s look at it as it is presented in the bible. As we believe it to be is the first beast clearly represents governmental power since he is based on the four beasts of Daniel 7 that represent four world empires. The interpretation of the fatal wound which the beast receives (and yet lives on) has been very controversial. The tower of Babel, the fall of Rome, and the Reformation have been among the interpretations. We believe that best interpretation is the first coming of Christ. At that time Christ became King of Kings with all power in heaven and in earth. (Compare Daniel 2 and the Stone which shatters the image of world empires.) Nevertheless, although fatally wounded by Christ’s coming, the beast of government continues to persecute God’s people throughout the New Testament era (the 42 months). The second beast is called the “false prophet” in Revelation 19:20 so it is clear that he represents false teaching in the church. Like the man of sin in 2 Thessalonians he supports his teachings with counterfeit miracles. He oppresses all who will not obey him. Since all the numbers in Revelation have symbolic value, the beast’s number 666 is very likely intended to symbolize “Triple Failure.” He is the man who always comes up short of seven, the number of God’s completed work.
We would like to point out that there is more proof of the evil one in American history, ‘The Indians have long believed that the evil one is as the vulture it scavenges around for lost souls and feast on them never hunting down it meal but taking only that which is left behind by others’, all the time waiting for us to walk off the right path and there the evil one is waiting for us.
Revelation 19:20
And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.

Romans 7:4-6
Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that you should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring
forth fruit unto God.
For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.
But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.

We must remember when reading this book that our relationship with Jesus and God is personal between Him and us and we must do so in the personal viewpoint because we have excepted Jesus Christ in to our lives as our personal Lord and Savor and in that it becomes personal between you and God, and therefore we see the light of the process of the words and teachings of God’s Word and that He has never left us. These are Paul’s words and we bring them to you now to read aloud so that you might also here God’s word and believe and understand of His word and the power of Jesus Christ and His resurrection and spirit of holiness as declared to us in the scriptures, as it says in the scriptures “Faith come by hearing” yes hearing the word of God so we read out loud so you too can hear the word of God, as you read aloud you hear yourself better and start to feel what you are reading as in all things, as Paul tells us
2Thessalonians 2:2-4
Grace unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith growth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each other abounded;
So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure:

Romans 1:1-20
Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,
(Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,)
Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;
And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:
By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his Name:
Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ:
To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.
For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers;
Making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you.
For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established; that is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me.
Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you, (but was let hitherto,) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles.
I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise.
So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, the just shall live by faith.
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath showed it unto them.
For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
Are we really happy with our life’s, are we headed in the right direction well just maybe this can help. Lets conceder for a moment that the Bible was written based on actual events {people who were there} and inspiration of God, so if what we accept and believe then we must see that the truth is there and there’s no other way. In fact in reading the Bible we find that the disciple John trusted Jesus so much he forsake a successful fishing business that had access to the house of the high priest {Caiaphas} and two servants {remember John was a Jew} and we must remember that John risk his very life for Jesus as he was the only disciple to witness Jesus’ crucifixion knowing the whole time he could be killed as a result of being there, in his enterer gospel he never mentions himself by name. We see John as on example of the love and trust, that is the same as we should have in Jesus and God our Father as well as in each other, we will tell you more on this a little later in the book. We have been guided to Wright these words for all that need the light for a better life of Faith, Love, Understanding, and healing as Jesus says, “Let the dead bury the dead and follow me”. Which means let the past take care of itself and start your life anew {from the time we start following Jesus our lives are anew in Him}, as He is our Lord and Savory and will forgive us of our sins and guide us in the one true light of Faith, Love, Understanding and Healing {past, present and future} for we are saved by grace. As God created L.I.F.E. for one purpose only and that is to Living In Faith Ever with Him at the center point of our lives, in Genesis God said let’ create man in our own likeness and image.

As this is in the spiritual senses, not human, as everything with God, is spiritual. Flesh and spirit, heaven and earth, must be put together in him. God said, "Let us make man and woman." When man and woman were made it was to glorify God, when we believe in His son Jesus through His death and resurrection we receive the baptism of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Into that great name we are baptized, and to God we owe our being or L.I.F.E. It is the soul of man that especially bears God's image. And this is why God wants us Living In Faith Ever which allows us to constantly communicate with him was His plan from the begging. As we are not Jesus or God we are AMBASSADORS to the Gospel of Jesus Christ and have pledged to work for the Spiritual Welfare of all People and all Nations of His Word and by putting these words here. for it not only helps me to deepen my Faith, Love and understanding but hopefully helps you to deepen your faith, love and understanding as well as opening your Eyes and Heart to the wondrous Love of our Father in Heaven so let us get in to it, as it is told to us throughout the Bible

Romans 6:3-10
Know you not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
For he that is dead is freed from sin.
Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:
Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead diet no more; death hath no more dominion over him.
For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he lived, he lived unto God.

8:1-14
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any men have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from
the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelled in you.
Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.

We have read and talked to people of many different types of Christianity and other Faiths and have found one common factor to be true, and that is that we have a total miss understanding not only ourselves and our relationship with God and of the teachings of God and Jesus as to the true way to live, Jesus told us long ago “That a house divided against itself would fall”. Which simply means that if we continue on this avenue our life’ or none of us will stand at the end days because we will be so confused that no one will know the truth about anything let alone Jesus.
Matt 3:2
And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Source: King James 1611,
Matt. 12:25-26
And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:
And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?
So that is why we have to follow Jesus’ guide by repentance of our sins and believing that Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins and was risen from the dead and excepting Jesus Christ personally into your life as Lord and savior and be baptized in the name of the Father, the Son, and Holy Ghost and by taking God’s medicine and reading the Bible daily aloud we then see why we all see the Bible as been rewritten and interpreted so many times over the years that all we really can do is have faith and pray to God to guide us safely through his word and to His understanding, when we ourselves come to relies that God had for seen the fact that the different languages would not overlap each other (as one word in Hebrew there may not be a word in our language to mean or be the same and the same applies in reverse} and that seems to be why there are so many different type of Bibles we read but all we really have to realize is that God will guide us through His word and the meaning to our lives, just trust in Jesus and have faith and it shall be so. I have and still struggle with this even though we have been ministers of His Word.
Therefore the way we understand this is something like this,
“God’ understanding saw Divine things clearly and truly; there were no errors or mistakes in His knowledge; His will consented at once, and in all things, to the will of God. His affections were all regular, and He had no bad appetites or passions. His thoughts were easily brought and fixed to the best subjects. Thus holy, thus happy, were our first parents in having the image of God upon them.
May the Lord renew it upon our souls and hearts by His Grace?”
As we look at the Bible as God has given it to us we see words in parables and pictures
drawn in words as the probable of having ‘the faith of a mustard seed’,
Matt. 17-20
“Jesus said unto them, verily I say unto you, if ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.”
