Question 4
People are sinful, but the sin offering of the Lord Jesus is forever effective. As long as we confess, the Lord will forgive us. We are sinless in the Lord’s eyes, so we will enter the kingdom of heaven!
Q&A about Being Saved and Full Salvation (4)
Answer: The Lord Jesus did forgive our sins. But it doesn’t mean we aren’t sinful, or we’ve broken free from the shackles of sin and become holy. The Lord Jesus has forgiven our sins. But what does “sin” mean here? We all know things like fornication and theft which are against the law, the commandments, and God’s word, all are sins. Anything that resists God, condemns God, and judges God are also sins, not to mention blasphemy against God, which is unforgivable! In the Age of Grace, the Lord Jesus made Himself the sin offering for mankind. Only by praying, confessing, and repenting to the Lord would people not be condemned or put to death. In other words, God no longer took them as sinners. And mankind could pray to the Lord directly and enjoy His grace due to His forgiveness. This is the real meaning of “sins are forgiven.” Although man’s sins are forgiven because of the sin offering made by the Lord Jesus, it doesn’t mean that man will no longer sin or resist God. Because man’s sinful nature still remains, he can still resist God, betray God, and make an enemy of Him. How could he be qualified to enter the kingdom of heaven? Like Almighty God’s word says, “A sinner such as you, who has just been redeemed, and has not been changed, or been perfected by God, can you be after God’s heart? For you, you who are still of your old self, it is true that you were saved by Jesus, and that you are not counted as sinners because of the salvation of God, but this does not prove that you are not sinful, and are not impure. How can you be saintly if you have not been changed? Within, you are beset by impurity, selfish and mean, yet you still wish to descend with Jesus—you should be so lucky! You have missed a step in your belief in God: you have merely been redeemed, but have not been changed. For you to be after God’s heart, God must personally do the work of changing and cleansing you; if you are only redeemed, you will be incapable of attaining sanctity. In this way you will be unqualified to share in the good blessings of God, for you have missed out a step in God’s work of managing man, which is the key step of changing and perfecting. And so you, a sinner who has just been redeemed, are incapable of directly inheriting God’s inheritance.” (from “Concerning Appellations and Identity” in The Word Appears in the Flesh) The redemptive work the Lord Jesus did was only to forgive men’s sins, but it did not resolve their corrupt disposition. Satanic dispositions like arrogance, selfishness, and craftiness still remain within them. These corrupt dispositions are something deeper and more profound than sin. They’re also the root of man’s resistance to God. If these satanic corrupt dispositions are not resolved, people will still resist God, and still judge and condemn God via their imagination and false notions. In persecution and tribulation, they’ll still deny God, and even betray Him just like Judas. If given power, they will form separate kingdoms to fight against God. Some will even steal God’s offerings and offend His disposition, and will be condemned by God and perish. Today, most pastors and leaders in the religious world do not follow the words of the Lord Jesus. They willfully misinterpret the Bible, saying that man’s words are God’s words. They exalt man’s word over those of the Lord Jesus. So the believers all worship and follow man, having no place in their hearts for the Lord, and are controlled firmly in their hands. Especially when the returned Lord Jesus does the work of judgment, these pastors and leaders not only refuse to seek or investigate, but instead condemn God’s work, judge and blaspheme God. They also fabricate rumors to deceive the believers and seal off the churches, making an enemy of God and offending His disposition. This is the biggest resistance against God. This is an unforgivable sin! Their evil deeds are far more serious than those of the Pharisees who resisted the Lord Jesus. This proves that before man’s nature of resisting God is resolved and his satanic corrupt disposition is cleansed, he can still perform any evil against God. How can such a person enter God’s kingdom? Therefore, according to His plan of managing and saving mankind and also corrupt mankind’s needs, God expresses various truths in the last days. He begins the work prophesied in the Bible that “judgment must begin at the house of God,” to solve the problem that corrupt mankind is controlled by his satanic nature. In this way, man can gradually get rid of his satanic corrupt disposition, and no longer disobey or resist God, and can truly obey and fear God, thus being purified and entering the kingdom of heaven.

This is the first time since the creation of the world that God speaks to all mankind. It is the first book God issues among men to disclose them, guide them, judge them, and have a heart-to-heart talk with them, also the first utterance that enables them to know God’s footprints, God’s place of rest, God’s disposition, God’s possessions and being, God’s thoughts, and God’s care for mankind. It can be said that this is God’s first utterance to mankind from the third heaven since the creation of the world. It is also the first time that God appears to mankind through words and expresses His heart’s voice in His inherent identity. Read More ›
Once the words of God are uttered, the authority of God takes command of this work, and the fact promised by the mouth of God gradually begins to become a reality. Amongst all things, changes begin to occur in everything as a result, much like how, at the arrival of spring, the grass turns green, the flowers bloom, buds sprout from the trees, the birds begin to sing, the geese return, and the fields teem with people…. With the arrival of spring all things are rejuvenated, and this is the miraculous deed of the Creator.https://www.holyspiritspeaks.org/recital-god-himself-the-unique-i-05-04/
A bottle of Judgment Day from The Lost Abbey in San Marcos, California.
This 10,5% abv strong beer is a Belgian Style Quadrupel. It pours a dark hazy brown with a thin beige head. Aroma is sweet, with notes of molasses and raisins. Mouthfeel is sticky sweet. The flavor wasn't as complex as I remembered it, but it certainly had lots or raisins and molasses. This almost syrupy beer was a tad too sweet for me, at least on this night. Good for sipping though, it can easily replace a port wine or a madeira for dessert.
I had tried this beer before, at Brouwer's Cafe in Seattle.

I thought the T-1000 from Terminator 2 would be a cool costume to create for Halloween and fan conventions. The key to success was trying to imitate it's liquid metal nature, and it wasn't just silver paint!
The "hits" on the shirt were sculpted in PaperClay. Patches of Velcro loop was sewn to several positions on the midnight blue shirt, while the Velcro hook side was glued underneath the sculpts. I could then attach/rearrange the various sized hits on the shirt in any combination.
The "hook arms" were built out of mailing tubes and foam core, with posterboard wrapping them together. A little bit of fabric was added to the cuffs to blend in with the shirt rather than just slipping the props under the sleeves.
I initially based the costume on the T-1000's motorcycle cop appearance, complete with jacket and helmet. With that I took an honorable mention at the United Fan Con XI masquerade. However it usually got hot underneath the gear so I reduced the costume to what you see above. I even eliminated the holster and utility belt to keep it simple. The following year at United Fan Con XII, Lani Tupu of Farscape gave compliments about the costume, as the T-1000 was a favorite character of his as well.

Fu Jinhua was an elder of a house church in China. Like many other Christians, she enthusiastically dedicated herself to the Lord, and toiled hard in her labor for Him. She was particularly self-confident, and thought herself to be someone who truly loved the Lord. Having followed the Lord for many years, she wholeheartedly believed that the Bible was inspired by God, and that the words in the Bible were all God's words. Therefore, in her mind, she equated believing in the Lord with believing in the Bible. She thought that those who departed from the Bible could not be called followers of the Lord. She also believed that she needed only to adhere to the Bible to be raptured into the kingdom of heaven when the Lord descends with the clouds. So when a bunch of people began to testify to Almighty God's work of the last days, Fu Jinhua believed in the misconceptions of the religious pastors and elders, and never sought to investigate things any further. One day, Fu Jinhua visited Sister He, a fellow member of the church. Sister He spoke about her own confusion: "The prophecies about the Lord's return have basically all come true, and the Lord is supposed to have come back already. So why haven't we beheld the Lord descending with the clouds yet?" Her co-worker Fang Jianjie also mentioned: The four blood moons have appeared, which means that great disasters will soon befall us. According to the prophecies from the books of the prophets and the Book of Revelation, the Church of Philadelphia will be raptured before the great disasters, and God will nourish His servants and handmaids with His Spirit to make complete a group of overcomers before the disasters. If we are not raptured before the disasters, we will most likely perish among these great disasters. But now, "the Eastern Lightning" has testified that the Lord Jesus has already returned, expressed the truth, and made complete a group of overcomers. Does this fulfill the prophecies from the Bible? Is the Eastern Lightning the manifestation of the Lord and His work? After listening to her co-workers, Fu Jinhua fell into deep reflection and began to reassess these matters …

Lee Chungmin was an elder at a church in Seoul, South Korea. For more than twenty years, he enthusiastically served the Lord, fully concentrated on studying the Bible. Following the example of his religious leaders, he thought that believing in the Lord meant believing in the Bible, and that having faith in the Bible was exactly the same as having faith in the Lord. He believed that so long as he adhered to the Bible, he would be raptured into the kingdom of heaven. These conceptions constrained him like a pair of shackles, restraining him from following God's footsteps and believing in God. As a result, Lee Chungmin never thought to look into Almighty God's work of the last days …
One day, by complete chance, he watched some hymnal videos on the Church of Almighty God's website. Their stirring lyrics and elegant melodies deeply moved him, inspiring him to look into Almighty God's work of the last days. After undergoing a few debates about the truth, he came to understand the inside story of the Bible through Almighty God's words. He came to understand the true facts of the situation clearly: The Pharisees of the religious world oppose and condemn God's appearance and work under the guise of elevating the Bible. Eventually, he cast aside the controls and restraints of the religious Pharisees and caught up with God's footprints …
The Kidron Valley is valley near Jerusalem which features significantly in the Bible. An ephemeral stream flows through it with occasional flash floods in the rainy winter months.
The Kidron Valley runs along the eastern wall of Jerusalem, separating the Temple Mount from the Mount of Olives. It then continues east through the Judean Desert, towards the Dead Sea. The settlement Kedar, located on a ridge above the valley, is named after it. The neighbourhood of Wadi Al-Joz bears the valley's Arabic name.
The Valley is the site of many Jewish tombs, including the Pillar of Absalom, the Tomb of Bene Hezir, and the Tomb of Zechariah. At one time, the water of the Gihon Spring flowed through the valley, but it was diverted by Hezekiah's tunnel to supply water to Jerusalem.
The Bible calls the valley "Valley of Jehoshaphat - Emek Yehoshafat" (Hebrew: עמק יהושפט), meaning "The valley where God will judge." It appears in Jewish Eschatologic prophecies, which include the return of Elijah, followed by the arrival of the Messiah, and also the war of Gog and Magog and Judgment day.

So I was, like, "Indeed! 'Eschatology' derives from the Greek, and means 'the study of last things: the apocalypse, the End of Days, the Second Coming,' etc. It's a staple of biblical exegesis, although you seem not to have heard that."
Nonplussed looks. Some discomfort on the behalf of my interlocutors.
First gentleman: "No, man, this is serious."
After which I took his proffered pamphlet and went home to my own apocalyptic musings.
I rather wish to respect even these Bible-beating dullards, but, man, fundamentalist Christians usually know their stuff better than this! I wasn't Christ disputing in the Temple, folks, "eschatology" is rather easy, especially if you're proclaiming the apocalypse! Le sigh.
It rather makes one suspect all this is about . . . (click on the next photo for what it's *really* about)

I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood. And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind. Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place. And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, and said to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?”

After living a “decent” life, my time on earth came to an end. The first thing I remember is sitting on a bench in the waiting
room of what I thought to be a court house. The doors opened and I was instructed to come in and have a seat by the defense table. As I looked around I saw the “prosecutor.” He was a villainous looking gent who snarled as he stared at me. He definitely was the most evil person I have ever seen. I sat down and looked to my left and there sat my lawyer, a kind and gentle looking man whose appearance seemed familiar to me. The corner door flew open and there appeared the judge in full flowing robes. He commanded an awesome presence as he moved across the room. I couldn’t take my eyes off of Him. As he took his seat behind the bench, he said, “let us begin.” The prosecutor rose and said, “My name is Satan and I am here to show you why this man belongs in Hell.” He proceeded to tell of lies that I told, things that I stole, and in the past when
I cheated others. Satan told of other horrible perversions that were once in my life and the more he spoke, the further down
in my seat I sank. I was so embarrassed that I couldn’t look at anyone not even my own lawyer as the Devil told of sins that even I had completely forgotten about. As upset as I was at Satan for telling all these things about me, I was equally upset at my representative who sat there silently not offering any form of defense at all. I know I had been guilty of those things, but I had done some good in my life – couldn’t that at least equal out part of the harm I’ve done? Satan finished with a fury and said, “this man belongs in Hell, he is guilty of all that I have charged and there is not a person who can prove otherwise. When it was his turn, my lawyer first asked if he might approach the bench. The Judge allowed this over the strong objection of Satan, and beckoned him to come forward. As he got up and started walking, I was able to see Him in his full splendor and majesty. I realized why he seemed so familiar. This was Jesus representing me, my Lord and Savior. He stopped at the bench and softly said to the Judge, “Hi Dad,” and then he turned to address the court. “Satan was correct in saying that this man had sinned, I won’t deny any of these allegations, and yes the wage of sin is death. This man deserves to be punished.” Jesus took a deep breath and turned to His Father with outstretched arms and proclaimed, “however, I died on the cross so that this person might have eternal life and he has accepted Me as his Savior, so he is Mine.” My Lord continued with, “His name is written in the Book of Life and no one can snatch him from me. Satan still does not understand yet. This man is not to be given justice, but rather mercy.” As Jesus sat down, he quietly paused, looked at His Father and replied, “there is nothing else that needs to be done. I’ve done it all.” The Judge lifted His mighty hand and slammed the gavel down. The following words bellowed from his lips…”This man is free. The penalty for him has already been paid in full. Case dismissed.” As my Lord led me away, I could hear Satan ranting and raving, “I won’t give up, I’ll win the next one.” I asked Jesus as he gave me my instructions where to go next, “have you ever lost a case?” Christ lovingly smiled and said, “everyone that has come to Me and asked me to represent them has received the same verdict as you, PAID IN FULL.”
Die gotische Pfarrkirche St. Valentinus wurde um 1300 auf den Fundamenten eines romanischen Gotteshauses erbaut. Sie ist nach dem Schutzpatron der Epilepsiekranken benannt und besitzt Reliquien dieses Heiligen, so dass die Kirche im Mittelalter Ziel vieler Wallfahrten war. Ihren guten Erhaltungszustand verdankt die Kirche vor allem dem englischen Baronet Sir John Sutton (1820 - 1873). Sutton stammte aus einer sehr begüterten, altadeligen Familie aus der Grafschaft Lincolnshire und kam 1857 nach Kiedrich, wo er mit erheblichen Geldmitteln für die Restaurierung der Valentinus Kirche und ihrer ältesten bespielbaren Orgel Deutschlands sorgte. Durch eine Stiftung bewahrte Sutton für diese Kirche die einzigartige Form des liturgischen Gesanges in Form der deutschen Gregorianik, wie sie noch heute von den Kiedricher Chorbuben gepflegt wird.
Das im Rheingau gelegene Kiedrich wurde erstmals in einer undatierten Urkunde des Mainzer Erzbischofs Friedrich (937 - 954) erwähnt und bereits ab 1131 ist der Weinbau in Kiedrich urkundlich belegt. Unter den Herzögen von Nassau war Kiedrich dem benachbarten Eltville angegliedert, aber nach der Annexion des Herzogtums durch Preußen wurde der Ort 1867 dem Rheingaukreis im Regierungsbezirk Wiesbaden zugeordnet. Auch nach der Hessischen Gebietsreform von 1972 - 1977 konnte Kiedrich seine Selbständigkeit bewahren. Neben der Hauptsehenswürdigkeit von Kiedrich, der einzigartigen Kirche St. Valentinus mit der Michaelskapelle, lockt auch der gute Wein lockt viele Ausflügler und Touristen an.

My Friend: I am asking you the most important question of life. Your joy or your sorrow for all eternity
depends upon your answer. The question is: Are you saved? It is not a question of how good you are, nor if
you are a church member, but are you saved? Are you sure you will go to Heaven when you die?
God says in order to go to Heaven, you must be born again. In John 3:7, Jesus said to Nicodemus, “Ye must be
born again.”
In the Bible God gives us the plan of how to be born again which means to be saved. His plan is simple! You
can be saved today. How?
First, my friend, you must realize you are a sinner. “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God”
(Romans 3:23).
Because you are a sinner, you are condemned to death. “For the wages [payment] of sin is death” (Romans
6:23). This includes eternal separation from God in Hell.
“ . . . it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment” (Hebrews 9:27).
But God loved you so much He gave His only begotten Son, Jesus, to bear your sin and die in your place.
“ . . . He hath made Him [Jesus, Who knew no sin] to be sin for us . . . that we might be made the righteousness
of God in Him” (2 Corinthians 5:21).
Jesus had to shed His blood and die. “For the life of the flesh is in the blood” (Lev. 17:11). “ . . . without
shedding of blood is no remission [pardon]” (Hebrews 9:22).
“ . . . God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”
(Romans 5:8).
Although we cannot understand how, God said my sins and your sins were laid upon Jesus and He died in our
place. He became our substitute. It is true. God cannot lie.
My friend, “God . . . commandeth all men everywhere to repent” (Acts 17:30). This repentance is a change of
mind that agrees with God that one is a sinner, and also agrees with what Jesus did for us on the Cross.
In Acts 16:30-31, the Philippian jailer asked Paul and Silas: “ . . . ‘Sirs, what must I do to be saved?’ And they
said, ‘Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved . . . .’ ”
Simply believe on Him as the one who bore your sin, died in your place, was buried, and whom God
resurrected. His resurrection powerfully assures that the believer can claim everlasting life when Jesus is
received as Savior.
“But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe
on His name” (John 1:12).
“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13).
Whosoever includes you. Shall be saved means not maybe, nor can, but shall be saved.
Surely, you realize you are a sinner. Right now, wherever you are, repenting, lift your heart to God in prayer.
In Luke 18:13, the sinner prayed: “God be merciful to me a sinner.” Just pray: “Oh God, I know I am a sinner.
I believe Jesus was my substitute when He died on the Cross. I believe His shed blood, death, burial, and
resurrection were for me. I now receive Him as my Savior. I thank You for the forgiveness of my sins, the gift
of salvation and everlasting life, because of Your merciful grace. Amen.”
Just take God at His word and claim His salvation by faith. Believe, and you will be saved. No church, no
lodge, no good works can save you. Remember, God does the saving. All of it!
God’s simple plan of salvation is: You are a sinner. Therefore, unless you believe on Jesus Who died in your
place, you will spend eternity in Hell. If you believe on Him as your crucified, buried, and risen Savior, you
receive forgiveness for all of your sins and His gift of eternal salvation by faith.
You say, “Surely, it cannot be that simple.” Yes, that simple! It is scriptural. It is God’s plan. My friend, believe
on Jesus and receive Him as Savior today.
If His plan is not perfectly clear, read this tract over and over, without laying it down, until you understand
it. Your soul is worth more than all the world.
“For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul?” (Mark 8:36).
Be sure you are saved. If you lose your soul, you miss Heaven and lose all. Please! Let God save you this very
moment.
God’s power will save you, keep you saved, and enable you to live a victorious Christian life. “There hath no
temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, Who will not suffer you to be tempted
above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it” (1
Corinthians 10:13).
Do not trust your feelings. They change. Stand on God’s promises. They never change. After you are saved,
there are three things to practice daily for spiritual growth:
Pray -- you talk to God.
Read your Bible -- God talks to you.
Witness -- you talk for God.
You should be baptized in obedience to the Lord Jesus Christ as a public testimony of your salvation, and
then unite with a Bible-believing church without delay. “Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of
our Lord . . . .” (2 Timothy 1:8)
“Whosoever therefore shall confess [testify of] Me before men, him will I confess also before My Father which
is in heaven” (Matthew 10:32).
New King James Version (NKJV)
Submission to Husbands
Wives, likewise, be submissive to your own husbands, that even if some do not obey the word, they, without a word, may be won by the conduct of their wives, when they observe your chaste conduct accompanied by fear. Do not let your adornment be merely outward—arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel— rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God.

"God is the Master of the rules that control the universe, He controls the rules that govern the survival of all things, and He also controls the universe and all things such that they can live together; He makes it so they do not go extinct or disappear so that mankind may continue to exist, man can live in such an environment through God’s leadership. These rules that govern all things are under the dominion of God, however, mankind cannot intervene and cannot change them; only God Himself knows these rules and only He Himself manages them. When will the trees sprout, when will it rain, how much water and how many nutrients will the earth give the plants, in what season will the leaves fall, in what season will the trees bear fruit, how much energy will the sunlight give the trees, what will the trees exhale from the energy they get from the sunlight—these are all things that God had already arranged when He created the universe and they are laws that cannot be broken by man. The things created by God—whether they are living or appear to be non-living by people—are all in God’s hands and under His dominion. No man can change or break this rule. That is to say, when God created all things He formulated how they should be. The tree could not set down roots, sprout, and grow without the earth. What would the earth be like if it had no trees? It would dry out. Isn’t this right? (Yes.) Also, the tree is the home of the songbirds, it is a place where they take shelter from the wind. Would it be OK if the tree went without sunlight? (It would not be OK.) If the tree only had the earth that would not work. All of this is for mankind and for mankind’s survival. Man receives fresh air from the tree, and lives upon the earth protected by it. Man cannot live without sunlight, man cannot live without all the various living beings. Even though the relationships between these things are complex, people must clearly understand that God created the rules that govern all things so that they may exist in an interconnected and interdependent way; every single thing He created has value and significance. If God created something without significance, God would let it disappear. Understand? (Yes.) This is one of the methods He used in the provision of all things. What does “provide for” refer to in this story? Does God go out and water the tree every day? Does the tree need God’s help to breathe? (No.) “Provide for” in this instance refers to God’s management of all things after creation; all He needed were rules to keep things running smoothly. The tree grew all by itself by being planted in the earth. The conditions for it to grow were all created by God. He made the sunlight, the water, the soil, the air, and the surrounding environment, the wind, frost, snow, and rain, and the four seasons; these are the conditions that the tree needs in order to grow, these are things that God prepared. So, is God the source of this living environment? (Yes.) Does God have to go out every day and count each leaf on the trees? There’s no need, right? God also doesn’t have to help the tree breathe. God also doesn’t have to wake up the sunlight every day by saying, “It’s time to shine on the trees now.” He doesn’t have to do that. The sunlight shines down on its own as prescribed by the rules, it shines on the tree and the tree soaks it in. This is how things live within the rules. Perhaps this is a phenomenon you might not be familiar with, but it is a fact everyone has seen and has accepted. All you need to do is recognize that the rules for the existence of all things come from God and know that their growth and survival are under God’s dominion. This proves that God is the source for all life."
