Truth Versus Falsehoods

Beware Of Those Spreading
Lies And Half-Truths

WHAT DO THE SCRIPTURES SAY?

          "Whoso causeth the righteous to go astray in an evil way, he shall fall himself into his own pit...."

Proverbs 28:10

          The Everlasting Admonition:

          "Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish aught from it (including no substitutions) that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your GOD which I command you."

Deuteronomy 4:2
Proverbs 30:5-6
Matthew 5:17-19
Revelation 22:18-19

          GOD, Himself, reiterated:  "My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing (His Word) that is gone out of My lips."

Psalm 89:34

          GOD'S People:  GOD owns the whole universe and everything in it including all humanity:   you, me, our neighbors down the street and around the world both past, present, and future (Ezekiel 18:4).

          "All the sinners of My people shall die by the sword, which say, The evil shall not overtake nor prevent us."

Amos 9:10; 6:3-7

          "Whosoever committeth sin trangresseth also the law:  for sin is the transgression of the law."

I John 3:4
Isaiah 19:9

          "They that forsake the law praise the wicked:  but such as keep the law contend with them."

Proverbs 28:4

          "But he that sinneth against Me wrongeth his own soul:  all they that hate Me love death."

Proverbs 8:36

          Beware Of Those Teaching Error:

          Jesus said, "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets:  I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill.

          "For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

          "Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven:  but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven."

Matthew 5:17-19

          Jesus admonished, "Behold thou art made whole:   sin (transgress the law) no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee."

John 5:14; 8:11,34-35
I John 3:4,8

          Many take Scriptures out of context as they wrest with, pervert, the Word as they spread falsehoods via half-truths and outright lies.     Remember, GOD forewarned that He was going to give disobedient people false prophets (Ezekiel 14:3-11 espec. 14:9; II Corinthians 11:13-14), phony laws (Ezekiel 20:24-26), and stumbling blocks to lead them unto their desolations (Isaiah 66:4; Jeremiah 6:21; II Thessalonians 2:11).     And GOD certainly has the ability to carry out this threat and obviously has been doing so.

          One prime example of those perverting the Word as they take verses out of context involves John 3:16,18:

          "For GOD so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son (the Word of God:  Revelation 19:13), that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

John 3:16,18

          Note specifically, people are condemned because they have not believed in the name (the Word of GOD:   Revelation 19:13) of the only begotten Son of GOD (John 3:18).

          Beware Of The Murderer:  So intelligent people will follow Jesus Christ (the whole Word of GOD) and beware of the murderer, the false prophets, and phony laws that have been set up to mislead the disobedient.

          "... I will not justify the wicked."

Exodus 23:7

          "... and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him."

I John 3:15
Numbers 35:16-21,30-31
Revelation 21:8; 22:15

          Yes, the wise will beware of anyone substituting the words of a murderer for the righteous Word of GOD.   Conversely, people who elevate the preachings of a murderer over the whole Word of GOD, Jesus Christ (Revelation 19:13), ought to be concerned (II Peter 3:14-17).     Remember, when Satan speaks in Scripture, for example Luke 4:5-7, people readily recognize him for who he is.     But, are Satan's words the Word of GOD or are they Satan's words in the Word of GOD?     However, when the murderer speaks in Scripture, because he is in Scripture people say, "He must be righteous."   But, again, are the murderer's words the Word of GOD or are the murderer's words in the Word of GOD?

          Remember, Jesus does not blind anyone; so, who was it that blinded Saul?     And, why did Saul go to the house of Judas, the betrayer, to get healed?     (Acts 9:1-18; Ezekiel 14:9).

          People ought to consider the criteria for a false prophet (i.e. he must speak:   1. Some truths to be believed; 2. Many half-truths that people wrest over:   II Peter 3:14-17; and, 3. A number of falsehoods that the unlearned and unstable also wrest with).     People also ought to consider the promises of GOD for the disobedient and for their descendants for 3 or 4 generations (i.e. 100 years) (Exodus 20:5).     Again, these promises include false prophets, phony laws, and stumbling blocks as well as a false Messiah in these latter days.   Is not the fate of a liar the fate of a murderer also (Revelation 22:15)?

          "My son, if sinners (including liars and murderers) entice thee, consent thou not."

Proverbs 1:10

          Satan's Ministers:  Paul, himself, explains that Satan's ministers take on the appearance of righteousness and their end shall be according to their works.

          "For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the (false) apostles of Christ.

          "And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

          "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."

II Corinthians 11:13-15; Jude 4

          Remember, these are Paul's own words as he explains what's going on.   And the flocks that seek unto Satan's ministers shall bear the punishments with the false prophets (Ezekiel 14:10).     So, the flocks cleaving to the ministers promoting lies will feel the wrath of GOD instead of enjoying the millennial rest.     Their alternative is to wake up and "come out of her" before Salvation is cut off (Revelation 18:4; Isaiah 52:11-12; Jeremiah 3:14; 51:6; Zechariah 2:6; Nehemiah 10:28-29).

          Nevertheless, the wise will carefully consider and obey Deuteronomy 30:1-3; Isaiah 56:1-8, and related Scripture including GOD'S Ten Commandments (Exodus 20:3-17; Deuteronomy 5:6-21).     Also, faith is believing in truths (knowledge) plus works (obedience).    For faith without works (deeds) is dead or non-existent faith (James 2:14-26; John 3:19-21 especially 3:21).

          The Beauty Of GOD'S Righteous Laws:

          "Bind up the testimony, seal the law among My disciples ...

          "To the law and to the testimony:  if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them."

Isaiah 8:16,20; 42:24

          "He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination."

Proverbs 28:9

          Therefore, if a disobedient person, one who disregards GOD'S righteous laws, prays ... who are they praying to and who answers their prayers?     Yes, if their prayers are abomination, Satan himself must be answering the prayers of those who reject GOD'S righteous laws.

          Remember, "the end of these wonders" comes at the end of "a time, times and a half time" (Daniel 12:6-7; 7:25; Revelation 12:14).     So, counting from the 5 BC Birth of Jesus, the disobedient still have 1,000 years, 1500 years, or far more of troubulous times to figure things out (Daniel 11:32-35; Deuteronomy 28:15-68):   that's if they don't get busy and straighten out their act before the door to Salvation closes as 6015 from Creation begins (i.e. Spring 2010 AD).     Never forget:

          "The law (doctrine) of the LORD is perfect, converting (restoring) the soul:  the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.

          "The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart:   the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.

          "The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever:   the judgments of the LORD are true (truth) and righteousness altogether.

          "More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold:  sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.

          "Moreover by them is thy servant warned:  and in keeping of them there is great reward."

Psalm 19:7-11

          The Whole Duty Of Man:

          "Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter:  Fear GOD, and keep His commandments:  for this is the whole duty of man.

          "For GOD shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil."

Ecclesiastes 12:13-14

          A Reason For GOD'S Wrath:

          "Yea, they made their hearts as an adamant stone, lest they should hear the law, and the words which the LORD of hosts hath sent in His spirit by the former prophets:  therefore came a great wrath from the LORD of hosts."

Zechariah 7:12

          "For the great day of His wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?"

Revelation 6:17
Zephaniah 1:1-18
Joel 1:15; 2:1-11

          "But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy GOD, to observe to do all His commandments and His statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee...

          "Then the LORD will make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy seed, even great plagues, and of long continuance, and sore sicknesses, and of long continuance.

          "Moreover He will bring upon thee all the diseases of Egypt, which thou wast afraid of; and they shall cleave unto thee.

          "Also every sickness, and every plague, which is not written in the book of the law, them will the LORD bring upon thee, until thou be destroyed."

Deuteronomy 28:15, 59-61
(See all of 28:15-68)

The Firstfruits Obey GOD'S Laws
(Deuteronomy 30:1-3; Isaiah 56:1-8)

But Doubting Thomases Will Wait
A Thousand Years!

          "He (GOD) hath remembered His covenant for ever, the Word which He commanded to a thousand generations."

Psalm 105:8
