WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE CHRISTIAN?

What Does it Mean to be Christian?

Where were the followers of Jesus Christ first called Christians? Act 11:26 And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. (In Syria) And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch. Why were they called Christians? Because they were followers of Jesus Christ's teachings. What is a Christian then? A follower of Christ Christ-ians. Who wrote the Law of God called the Ten Commandments and were called the TEN COMMANDMENTS? Exo 34:28 And he (Moses) was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights; he did neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he (the pre-incarnate God the Son) wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments. Do you think the words the "ten commandments" came from Moses or did God tell him they were Ten Commandments? Moses called them the Ten Commandments, God called them a "COVENANT" between Himself and mankind. Deu 4:13 And he declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even ten commandments; and he wrote them upon two tables of stone.

The Record of the COVENANT made between God and Man

(NOT between God and the JEWISH NATION)

Exo 19:3-25 And Moses went up unto God, and the LORD called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel; Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself. Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine: And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel. [TAKE NOTE: This covenant was conditional upon obedience to God's spoken words forthcoming that Moses called the Ten Commandments.] Moses now descends back down the mountain to the people, who were waiting to hear what God told Him.

And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before their faces all these words which the LORD commanded him. And all the people answered together, and said, All that the LORD hath spoken we will do. (We ALL agree with God's word) And Moses returned the words of the people unto the LORD. And the LORD said unto Moses, Lo, I come unto thee in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with thee, and believe thee forever. QUESTION: Did Moses live forever from this time until his death? NO! Moses died andf God buried him Himself, but this statement fulfills another biblical verse in that God calls those things that aren't yet done as though they be. Rom 4:17 (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were. God knew that after Moses died on the mountain of Nebo that He would resurrect Moses and take him into his eternal life i.e. "believe thee forever" statement. Deu 34:1-6 And Moses went up from the plains of Moab unto the mountain of Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, that is over against Jericho. And the LORD shewed him all the land of Gilead, unto Dan, And all Naphtali, and the land of Ephraim, and Manasseh, and all the land of Judah, unto the utmost sea, And the south, and the plain of the valley of Jericho, the city of palm trees, unto Zoar. And the LORD said unto him, This is the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, saying, I will give it unto thy seed: I have caused thee to see it with thine eyes, but thou shalt not go over thither. So Moses the servant of the LORD died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the LORD. And he (the LORD) buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, over against Bethpeor: but no man knoweth of his sepulchre unto this day.

ONLY God knew where Moses was buried, therefore in Jud 1:9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord (JESUS) rebuke thee. VERIFIES that Michael whose name means [the ONE who IS as GOD IS] is God called Michael here which is the heavenly name Jesus bore before the Host of Heaven before He was ever born as the man Jesus Christ in Bethlehem Judah. Michael and JESUS are one in the same friends. Michael and JESUS (IS GOD).

And Moses told the words of the people unto the LORD. And the LORD said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them (Set them APART, have them Purify themselves through prayer, fasting, and PREPARE) to day and to morrow, and let them wash their clothes, (NO physical nor Spiritual defilement allowed) And be ready against the third day: for the third day the LORD will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai.

And thou shalt set bounds unto the people round about, saying, Take heed to yourselves, that ye go not up into the mount, or touch the border of it: whosoever toucheth the mount shall be surely put to death: There shall not an hand touch it, but he shall surely be stoned, or shot through; whether it be beast or man, it shall not live: when the trumpet soundeth long, they shall come up to the mount.

And Moses went down from the mount unto the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their clothes. And he said unto the people, Be ready against the third day: come not at your wives. And it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud; so that all the people that was in the camp trembled.

And Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to meet with God; and they stood at the nether part of the mount. And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the LORD descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly.

And when the voice of the trumpet sounded long, and waxed louder and louder, Moses spake, and God answered him by a voice. And the LORD came down upon mount Sinai, on the top of the mount: and the LORD called Moses up to the top of the mount; and Moses went up.

And the LORD said unto Moses, Go down, charge the people, lest they break through unto the LORD to gaze, and many of them perish. And let the priests also, which come near to the LORD, sanctify themselves, lest the LORD break forth upon them. And Moses said unto the LORD, The people cannot come up to mount Sinai: for thou chargedst us, saying, Set bounds about the mount, and sanctify it. And the LORD said unto him, Away, get thee down, and thou shalt come up, thou, and Aaron with thee: but let not the priests and the people break through to come up unto the LORD, lest he break forth upon them. So Moses went down unto the people, and spake unto them. When a simple look towards God with the physical eyes is a death sentence, Christians need to understand that God doesn't see things as they see them. Christians need to understand that God means everything He says and that there is a (reason and a result) be it either a blessing or a curse to the people from what He speaks. Every Christian (follower of Jesus Christ) in the nation and I'm not talking about every Christian who claims to be "in the faith" as Mike Pence puts it. Those who make that claim (of being in the faith) are deep down secretly ashamed to speak the name Jesus or be identified as a Christian belonging to a specific denomination.

At the time in Antioch when the followers of Jesus' doctrine and teachings were called Christians, there were NO denominational identities to cling to. Being a church member of and adhering to a specific denomination, and attending that church regularly DOES NOT make one a Christian. This is where the church has failed miserably the people. Now at the very end when vast donations to the preachers in mega-churches would be better utilized by eliminating homelessness in this nation, the building of bigger and better barns i.e. elaborate ornate church evangelism centers and churches, and useless bible camp investments. While at the same time ignoring the real needs of those who are in need is a waste of time, energy, and God's blessing resources for those in need, and reveals the fake Christianity being practiced by the likes of those like Joel Osteen, T.D. Jakes, Robert Jeffress, John Hagee, James Robison, Joyce Meyers, Jensen Franklin, Franklin Graham, Paula Furr Knight White Cain, and myriads of other phony false ministers among us.

I just finished watching the "My Pillows C.E.O." video called (Absolute Proof) regarding the recent thief of the Oval Office by Joe Biden who claims to be a Roman Catholic Christian as he breaks commandments number 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10, especially number eight which states "Thou SHALT NOT Steal." In the video the evidence revealed I believe is indeed as real as it gets. However, at the close of his video he speaks of a delusional goal of having some sort of religious revival in the nation and that it will bring the nation together and then he says something very interesting to the one who "hears", he says and I quote "we will once again be one nation under God." What does that say about the nation of America? That we are no longer a nation under God, which the elites are rearing back with their "scotch" and "brandy" in hand and cracking up in ecstatic laughter at Mike Lindell and the American sheeple. THIS NATION IS NOT ONLY DONE. IT'S OVERCOOKED, PAST WELL DONE.

There will never be another Great Awakening in the nation of America, no national revival, no Nineveh moment for America. There's no legitimate Federal government in America, no real National Security, no real Law Enforcement, no true apostolic Christianity. Banks and Credit Unions, business, media, social or otherwise cannot be trusted. False science i.e. climate change agenda, American infrastructure is crumbling before your very eyes. One tiny EMP burst above the nation at this moment would send this nation back into the pre-seventeenth century era, and no one cares and if they do, there's nothing that can be done to change it. If America turned around right this very minute in Federal, State, Local, and social with the intent to "Make America Great Again" and worked on it 24/7. It would take 10-20 years to have America back as it once was in 1780 but with modern technology replacing the horse and the press.

There's nothing left for this nation but "total destruction" at the hand of the returning Savior of the World. Christians, true apostolic Christians it's time to take your personal faith in "the faith of Jesus" a personal Savior seriously and join together as those who wait for the Second Coming to take place, through NOT prayer for a godless nation, but prayer for the sudden speedy return of Jesus and for God's saints. The majority of this world is going to be lost to God because the majority of the world is Christian godlessness while they think themselves accepted by God. God doesn't see things as you see them! You believe that God is going to return yes, and you believe that when He does then the judgment of this world is going to happen. You believe this because you have been lied to by those very men in whom you place your very "soul" in their hands by listening to them instead of reading what God's word tells you.

Please allow me to ask you a simple question? Based upon the laws of America would you be treated within the justice system of this nation fairly, if you let's say accidentally hit a person on the side of the road. Manslaughter charges were brought against you and you were thrown in jail with no bond possibility until your court date. Which is according to law acceptable. Then before your court date arrived the presiding judge decided to not waste time with your petty issue as he sees it and skips the trial and just sends you off to prison for 8-10 years. Would you be legitimate in filing for an appeal to his decision? Of Course! Now consider the process of the steps! You're arrested on suspicion of "manslaughter" the alleged crime, you're thrown into jail where you await trial by jury, Then the judge decides to punish you before and rational verdict by your peers can take place. Would you feel justified in your appeal to the higher powers, to the courts? YES, why? Because you have been singles out and unfairly mistreated by the justice system. You want to be justified by law that you didn't intentionally run the person down with malice and intent, you want your name and your record expunged to show you're innocent of the crime.

This process you have sought plays out as you have desired and you're now "JUSTIFED" both in the court records and absolved of any intent or malice and the jailer opens the door to the jail and you're set FREE, never again because of "Double Jeopardy" laws be tried for the same crime again. You've been JUSTIFIED and adjugated innocent and your reward is freedom. Now, consider the word of Jesus Himself (the Judge of all the Earth) here: Rev 22:12,13 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.

The Judgement of God over both saints and sinners has two very separate and distinct phases, both of which DO NOT take place on Earth. nor do they take place after Jesus Comes either the second or third time. The Judge of all the Earth from whom mankind bases human laws is more JUST than any human being in executing judgment. The judgment of God's people takes place in heaven BEFORE He returns NOT after He returns. NOTE the phrase in the above statement made by God Himself the phrase "my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be." The above scenario of one who is charged with manslaughter but expunged by the courts and law of the land justifies the reward of freedom given back to the accused. AFTER the review of the circumstances involved. The judge of all the earth is even more JUST in His judgment than any earthly judge could ever be.

Long before Jesus returns the judgment of the saints takes place before He returns, because He says "His rewards" are with Him to "GIVE" every man. NO one receives their reward until that time. The idea of going to heaven or hell upon death is a LIE! That every man statement means to "every saint" as no wicked of the earth are entitled to that reward when Jesus returns, so the rewards here are for the saints of God alone. There is a time of judgment future from the second coming in which the wicked are to be judged, and that too takes place in heaven during the 1000 years of Revelation 20 and is done by both God and the redeemed saints of God. Rev 20:11-13 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book (Three Separate books) was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, (TWO books PLURAL) according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.

The Great White Throne judgment of God takes place "where God's Great White Throne" is located which is in heaven. This judgment doesn't take place on earth or somewhere in the clouds as all the wicked stand before Him when the court is taking place. That idea of the Judgment of the wicked is a movie for Netflix. The judgment of the saints is taking place right this moment as I type these words "IN HEAVEN" in the heavenly Temple of God as Jesus our Great High Priest, the only priest that can and did absolve SIN at the cross, is reviewing the records of God's people. All the dead saints FIRST, then all the living saints. Once it's completed Jesus will return. This heavenly judgment has been taking place in heaven since the mid 19th century for about 178 years now. Ever since the Book of Daniel was opened up to human understanding in 1843 which then led to the understanding of Revelation 14:6-8. Which concerns the herald of the Three Angels Messages. In or around 94 A.D. the apostle John in vision saw these three angels who were yet future from his day.

Rev 14:6-8 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people. (This verse is pronouncing the fulfillment of the Great Commission given by God the Son to His servants.) Mat 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. At the same time, the same angel proclaims:

Rev 14:7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear (Have Respect For) God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.

The above verse speaks much more than what you read on the surface. The phrase "the hour of his judgment is come" is very important. Notice the two words "is come" is in the present tense which means at the time this angel sounded this revelation to John, that at the time of the understanding of this revelation when it came to the forefront of human knowledge the "take note" the [hour of his judgment] would begin. When was this verse understood clearly? The year was 1844! In 1844 A.D. Jesus at that hour i.e. at that time began the judgment of the saints. Those in the grave first, then crossing over to the living and when He returns the final verdict He has already made will determine the "reward" given. Then the phrase "worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters" eludes back to Exodus 20:11 which states: Exo 20:11 For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

Before Jesus returns a very pivotal issue will come to the forefront in religion, and it will involve in just whom you believe. The same issue was given to Eve in the Garden of Eden. God said or Satan suggested, that's the decisive mental question at the root of the Mark of the Beast, that will determine your spiritual loyalty. Both Revelation 14:7 and 13:15 use the word "worship" it will come down as to whom you choose to worship, the same choice Eve and Adam had at the beginning will be put to the entire world during the Mark of the Beast. Rev 13:15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. And it will involve the "nation-state" of America first and then encompass the entire world. This is what you're seeing today playing out on the "Universal Stage" under Heaven's watchful gaze, as the human race is about to confront the final decision time prophesied by Joel the prophet. Joel 3:14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.

Rev 14:8 And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.

Is a summary of the spiritual condition on earth world-wide of the apostate church on earth, and is the fulfillment of the church history recorded in chapters 2 and 3 of Revelation concerning the seven church periods of the church upon the earth from Johns day until the day of Jesus Christ return. We are now living between verses 8 and 9 of Revelation 14, and the next verse 14:9 will come when the Mark of the Beast begins its decreed time as God has decreed it.

To be a true Christian is to follow the words of Jesus Christ alone, not as they are perceived by the fallen mind of man through some man with a Thd. Before or after his/her name. The church has done that far too much and it's why today not even a church can be trusted. Just who is the church? Is it a building, a group, a Temple, a Synagogue? What is the church? The description is given in the book of Acts chapter 2.

Act 2:42-47 And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles. And all that believed were together, and had all things common; And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need. And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.

This definition and condition of the early church doesn't exist on Earth today, and the only time it will ever return will NOT be on this Earth. It will take place when God's people meet Him in the clouds of the air as the harvest of the Earth ends. Not before that time will true Christ-ians who follow the teachings of the Everlasting Father again be "with one accord." Yes, Jesus is called the Everlasting Father and God the FATHER Himself calls Jesus GOD in case you didn't know. Isa 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Heb 1:8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. Most so-called Christians today have a very limited knowledge of God's word, and because of that, they have a very limited Christian experience in their lives. Most just believe what they have been told, and the problem is they have not been told truth.
