Whosoever believeth: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 17:48, 6 April 2023

Believeth

Do you believeth that Jesus is the Christ?

How do you know that you truly believe?

Does believing just mean accepting a fact as true?

What does it really mean to say that you believeth that Jesus is the Christ?

Are you really a believer or are you just under a strong delusion?

Many will say they believe but will Jesus tell them He never knew them because they are workers of iniquity and not true doers of the word?

So, the question is always Who believeth?

Many recite that they believe that Jesus was the Christ and the son of God but they need to understand what that means deep in their hearts and minds and then they will manifest that faith in the fruits of their heart and in what they do.

A difference

What made the early Christians so different and a Peculiar people?

If Christ makes a difference when we receive Him into our hearts, we should act accordingly. Otherwise, if we continue to sin, it would seem that our faith is not complete, and we may still have need of repentance. Our true belief will compel our actions, and those actions and choice will manifest the righteousness of Christ in all things.

If we truly loved Christ, would we not keep His commandments?

We may believe, but we may need help with our unbelief.^[1]

What would that belief look like today, and what should it not look like?

We are told in the context of His teachings and those of His disciples to seek the Kingdom of God at hand and the righteousness of God.

We know that it is written in 1 John 5 "Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him. By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?"

So, there you have it that every one who believeth loveth him and that claim of loving God includes the keeping of His commandments.

So, anyone not keeping His commandments do not really believe nor do they really love Him.^[2]

Not kept

It should be abundantly clear that keeping the commandments is the evidence of true Faith and Love and if we keep not the commandments then we know that our love is false and our faith is dead.

Say if we coveted anything that is our neighbor's so that we would benefit at his expense, that would be violating the commandments of God. If we sent men to our neighbor's house who called themselves Benefactors to take away from our neighbor anything that was our neighbor's for our own personal benefit, that would not be loving our neighbor.

This would mean that we were not keeping the commandments of God and therefore not believing in the teachings of Christ who said it was not to be so with us.

If we did desire benefits from such men or institutions we would have need of repentance because it "is the love of God, that we keep his commandments" and not covet our neighbor's goods.

Today, coveting your neighbors' goods in a socialist state is legal and so common that it is hard to imagine a world without the forced benefaction of the state.

Not warned

Everyone is encouraged by governments and even their churches to take from one another through the process of voting in new taxes, incurring more debt to obtain more benefits at the expense of your neighbor and their children and grandchildren for generations to come.

Everyone wants free education, free healthcare, free protection and guaranteed Welfare from men who call themselves Benefactors but exercise authority directly opposite the instructions of Christ.

Everyone takes a bite out of one another^[3] through these Covetous Practices. This is exactly what early Christians stopped doing. They no longer prayed to the Fathers of the if but their Father in heaven who answered their prayers through their love for one another.

From the beginning we were told not to covet, be not desirous of the dainties of rulers, for their table is a snare and would make the masses into human resources. But the modern Church does not preach the warnings of the early Church.

All the social welfare, the daily ministration of the believers, was by charity and love through faith and hope. They would not pray to Caesar for his free bread even in the face of persecution, because all "legal charity" is by the Law of Nature considered covetous practices.

This is what made them a peculiar people. They took care of one another through Faith, [Hope] and Charity and not by forced contributions like the rest of the World.

Return to unbelief

Today the people have returned to the Bondage of Egypt and the Elements of the World. But some rebel and flee and say we will not take the benefits nor pay into such a system because we believe not in the ways of covetousness. But do they believe in love? Do they believe in Jesus? Do they believe in the Blood of Jesus? Are they a part of the Body of Christ?

Where believeth

People followed Abraham, Moses, John the Baptist and Jesus. The altars of clay and stone was a way to create the social bonds of free people. The levites led the Israelites. And the early Church followed Christ and *His Way*, which was The Way, and advocated a Daily ministration that was dependent on Pure Religion through Fervent charity only. This was the Corban of Christ which was not like the system of Corban of the Pharisees nor of Rome or the systems of FDR and LBJ.
The church lost "the way" when it abandoned the practice of "pure Religion" while claiming to be the Church established by Christ. The people developed an appetite for the "wages of unrighteousness" from "public religion" in the days of Constantine. Those new Christians that often failed to fully repent degenerated the moral character of society with the masses of "instant christians".
That new religion of the emperor introduced a new faith with his apostate church replacing the doctrine of Jesus with the "doctrines of men", the Holy Spirit with emotion, the truth with the speaking of "great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage."^[4]
They had a form of godliness but denied the power thereof.

Where is your religion

Where do you find the Daily ministration of the early Church, the Pure Religion of James and the Corban of Jesus?

Are you following The Blessed Strategy of Christ like the Early Christians?

Are you following The Way through Love of one another or the way of the world and the Fathers of the earth?

Do you seek the benefits of bankrupt nations, or do you forgive and seek the benefits of Christ's appointed Kingdom?

Do you only gather for the comfort it gives you, or do you gather to benefit others?

Christ came to serve, not be served. Do you desire to be served, or are you coming in His name and according to His character to serve others?

If we desire His Grace but we only love those who love us, then there is no Grace because it is clear we do not really believe in Him.

If we do not Repent of our Covetous Practices and are not diligently gathering together in Free Assemblies of Love for all to provide for one another in Charity according to the Perfect law of liberty then we have nothing according to Paul. According to Luke 6:32 if we only love those who love us there is no "Grace". Christ also said if you do not Forgive neither will the Father forgive you.^[5]

It is not enough to hate the deeds of the workers of iniquity, but we must return to Thy first love and thy first work. To break the yoke, we need to return to the ways of righteousness spoken of in Isaiah 58 which are the ways of Christ and the early Church. And His yoke is light for it is carried by our love of one another.

Abraham, Moses, John the Baptist and Christ all created Networks of charity to care for the true needy of society without force which is how they were able to help set people free. Do you gather with His Church to attend to the Weightier matters as Christ said?

Are you gathering in a Network of righteousness?

Do you come to love others or just be loved?

Are your Congregations' gatherings fruitful enough so that no one has to pray to Benefactors who exercise authority one over the other?

Does anyone in your Free Assemblies have to apply to the Fathers of the earth, or seek their many benefits?

Early Christians found themselves in conflict with these systems of social welfare because they made the word of God to none effect. Christians had repented of their covetous nature when they received the Baptism of Christ. They heard and became Doers of the word not hearers only.

Remember Proverbs 12:24, "The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the Slothful shall be under Tribute."

We know that liberty under God is not for the covetous who are Biting one another but it is also not for the slothful. If we are not congregating together in free assemblies bound together in a broad network by faith, hope, and charity alone according to the perfect law of liberty then we are not truly seeking the Kingdom of God nor His righteousness.

When Judas was on his way to betray Christ Jesus said to His apostles:

John 13:34 "A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another."

This was not a new commandment because Moses had already said it^[6] but he was giving them an old commandment anew.^[7] He was a second witness to the nature of God so that you would know who really believed.

John 13:35 "By this shall all [men] know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another."

So do not tell me you believe, but show me by your works.^[8]

There is a reason why Proverbs 23 tells us to *put a knife to our throat* when we *sit to eat* with rulers, men who call themselves Benefactors. We must become the benefactors who exercise Fervent Charity according to the Eucharist of Christ in a Daily ministration of Love. There is no Grace without that Kingdom Love. We must give Repent which means to stop Biting one another so that we may forgive and love one another.

Today the world has returned to the bondage of Egypt to the vanity of Rome along with its decadence and corruption. The day of judgment is upon us, and we have need of repentance. So, the answer to the question Who believeth is not found in endless repetitions or False religion but in Pure Religion. It is found in the answer to the question do you love one another? Do you attend to the Weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith which include caring for the needs of our neighbors and the widows and orphans of our society through Pure Religion in matters of health, education, and welfare. We are NOT to provide for the needy of society through the Covetous Practices and the men who call themselves benefactors but who exercise authority one over the other like the socialists do.

The Way of Christ was like neither the way of the world of Rome nor the governments of the gentiles who depend on those fathers of the earth through force, fear and fealty who deliver the people back in bondage again like they were in Egypt. Christ's ministers and true Christians do not depend upon systems of social welfare that force the contributions of the people like the corban of the Pharisees which made the word of God to none effect. Many people have been deceived to go the way of Balaam and the Nicolaitan and out of The Way of Christ and have become workers of iniquity.

The Christian conflict with Rome in the first century Church appointed by Christ was because they would not apply to the fathers of the earth for their free bread but instead relied upon a voluntary network providing a daily ministration to the needy of society through Faith, Hope, and Charity by way of freewill offerings of the people, for the people, and by the people through the perfect law of liberty in Free Assemblies according to the ancient pattern of Tuns or Tens as He commanded.

The modern Christians are in need of repentance.

"Follow me!" —Jesus the Christ.

One of the most important things to do is to become involved in a network of Charitable Practices. Everyone should want to join a Living Network of Love and Charity.

If you think you have a calling to be a Minister of God or you might want to dedicate your life to Christ as an Ordained Minister of His Holy Church, contact us to start the process of discipleship and become the benefactors who exercise only love, NOT authority.^[9]

Believer

People often imagine that they know that they are saved because they say they believe.

How do you know you believe or are not just under a strong delusion?

And what is a belief?

Belief is said to mean "an acceptance that a statement is true or that something exists." or also a "trust, faith, or confidence in someone or something."

A believer might have a belief but there may be many versions of those beliefs. While two people may identify themselves as a believer they may have different versions in their mind as to what that belief consists of or requires.

Warnings

We should assume based on the warnings of Christ about many who say they believe but do not.

Are there those that are today misguided Pastors and Modern Christians among those talking about whosoever believeth being Saved?

Can we identify them even though they often say things like:

"A saved believer who has trusted fully in the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross for his or her salvation understands the simplicity of the Gospel of Grace."

People often imagine that they know that they are saved because they "say" they believe.

1. Jesus Christ died for their sins and paid for them all. God's perfect Justice has been satisfied by the death of His Son.

2. That Jesus was buried and rose again the third day according to the scriptures. 1Corinthians 15:1-4

3. They receive, believe and trust that Christ's perfect sacrifice is all that is required to save them. They know they cannot add anything or subtract anything from Christ's sacrifice.

4. Salvation is a free gift. It cannot be earned, there is nothing for the sinner to do for their salvation.

The teacher says

But what did Jesus say?

We are not suggesting or saying that people are saved by works nor by the law like the Pharisees sought to do. Many of these Modern Christians run back to a saved by grace theology whenever anyone talks about what one does or should do.

But what people do or do not do is the fruit of their repentance and we know if you are really a christian by your fruits we will know them.^[11]

If you are not a doer of the words of Jesus then you are probably not a true believer. If you are one of those workers of iniquity you will be turned away by Christ and the idea that you think you are saved is merely a strong delusion. Your faith is dead as evidenced by your lack of doing the works of Christ and not following His way

Jesus tells us that there are many who think they have accepted or believe in Christ but he will say "I never knew you: depart from me". We should be careful to know if we are really saved or just one of those many who will be deceived by the damnable heresies of false prophets..^[12]

Evidently, they thought they had faith but did not have real faith and we know that by what they did and did not do.

How do we know that we have real faith and have not been deceived by false teachers and prophets?

How do you know that your faith is not "in vain"^[13]

What are the fruits of repentance and what do they look like?

A number of terms should be carefully defined in accordance to the meanings of Paul and Christ such as "saved believer". Since Paul preached Christ first^[14] those who were the "saved believer" were already doing what Christ said to do.

Saved Believers

A Living Network of love and charity is what Christ preached. You were only a true believer if you were a **doer** of His word as He **commanded**.

What is a Saved believer?

The word "believer" only appears twice in the Bible.

First in Acts 5:14 "And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women.)"

We see it translated from pisteuontes πιστεύοντες which is a Verb in the Present tense, Participle Mood, Active Voice in the Nominative Case, Masculine and Plural. It appears 7 times in the Bible.^[15]

It is from the verb pisteuo πιστεύω^[16] a verb translated believe 239 times and believer once. It is from the noun for faith; it can mean "to think to be true" or "place confidence in".

We see a different word pistōn in 1 Timothy 4:12 translated believers, "Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity."

The Greek word pistōn πιστῶν which is an adjective also appears in 1 Timothy 4:10 "For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe.",

Here the word believers is from pistos πιστός^[17] meaning faithful. It is defined "of persons who show themselves faithful in the transaction of business, the execution of commands, or the discharge of official duties."

The word pistos does come from the word peitho πείθω which means "to persuade" or "be persuaded" or even "to trust, have confidence" but as an adjective it is defining someone who, because he is convinced or convicted of Christ, shows evidence that he is "of persons who show themselves faithful in the transaction of business, the execution of commands, or the discharge of official duties."

So this begs the question if we are Believers?

Are we faithful in keeping the commandments of Christ?

Are we diligent "in the transaction of business (of Christ), the execution of (His) commands, or the discharge of (His) official duties."

Christ told us to do many things and told us also what not to do to others.

He told us to actively love one another.
To love our enemy.
To not covet.
To not pray to the fathers of the earth.
To not be like the Benefactors who exercise authority one over the other.
To be in the world but not of the world.
To forgive.^[10]
To serve.
To make use of our talent.
To not have a Corban that makes the word of God to none effect.
To be a doer of that word.
To seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness.
He told His Church remain separate from the world.
He told His Church to go The Way of righteousness.
He Commanded them to make the people sit down in the tens so that there could be a daily ministration of love.

If we are not faithful in doing what He said to do or by personal or even public policy we are doing contrary to what He said, then we cannot really be considered faithful and therefore are not really believers.

If the word Christian is supposed to be the designation of people following Christ, viz. lovers of Jesus or Yeshua, then there must be many people who say they are Christians but are actually taking His name in vain.

Modern Christians often try to divest from the meaning of the word believer of needing to show the "execution of commands" of Christ or "the discharge of ... duties". They reduce being faithful to simply saying or even believing a certain fact. They seem to think that they merely have to be persuaded that a few statements about Jesus are true and this counts as repentance. They are saved believers in their own minds with no actual evidence being discharged demonstrating their belief. They simply repeat their claim of belief in the finished work of Christ while not doing what He said and even doing the opposite.

Paul in 1 Timothy 4:12 is making it clear that believers should be an example "in word, in conversation (conduct), in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity."

If they are not that example we should be able to at the very least suspect, if not conclude, that they are not saved believers because they are not exhibiting Fruit worthy of repentance.

This is why Paul gives us a long list of those who are not believers and will not inherit the kingdom.^[18] Paul in no way was suggesting that we now have a license to sin or go against the commandments of God but was talking about those who are true Believers who show the Fruit of the Spirit.^[19]

This being a Believer required outward evidence of belief which would be consistent with the teachings of Christ who says we are not to be hearers only^[20] nor merely say we believe in the Lord but were actually Doers of the Word^[21] and must bear witness by demonstrating the fruit of repentance.^[22]

James' insistence upon works,^[23] was also consistent with the words of Christ who said to seek the kingdom of God but also His righteousness.^[24] He said to strive^[25], and persevere^[26].

And of course, there is Jesus' direct instruction about forgiving so that you may be forgiven and if not forgiving then you are not forgiven no matter what you want to think.^[10]

Peter was also clear concerning not coveting^[27] which would make you Merchandise and warns how you will curse your children by your Covetous Practices.

There is a great deal of evidence that most Modern Christians are not true believers but are actually Workers of Iniquity. They are not doing what Christ said to do. They are not doing what the early Church did. And with their modern welfare they have more in common with the Pharisees than the Christians who found themselves in conflict with Rome.

Just being covetous is evidence that you are not a Believer. Because if you are not a real Believer, then what you do will have you entangled again with the elements of the world.^[28] cursing your children with debt.^[29]

Paul warned us about coveting and imagining we are saved without the fruits of that salvation.^[30]

Paul preached first the Gospel of Christ so his words did not supersede what Christ said. ^[31]

If you are really a believer in Jesus as the Christ then

Where is your religion

Where do you find the Daily ministration of the early Church, the Pure Religion of James and the Corban of Jesus?

Are you following The Blessed Strategy of Christ like the Early Christians?

Are you following The Way through Love of one another or the way of the world and the Fathers of the earth?

Do you seek the benefits of bankrupt nations, or do you forgive and seek the benefits of Christ's appointed Kingdom?

Do you only gather for the comfort it gives you, or do you gather to benefit others?

Christ came to serve, not be served. Do you desire to be served, or are you coming in His name and according to His character to serve others?

If we desire His Grace but we only love those who love us, then there is no Grace because it is clear we do not really believe in Him.

If we do not Repent of our Covetous Practices and are not diligently gathering together in Free Assemblies of Love for all to provide for one another in Charity according to the Perfect law of liberty then we have nothing according to Paul. According to Luke 6:32 if we only love those who love us there is no "Grace". Christ also said if you do not Forgive neither will the Father forgive you.^[32]

It is not enough to hate the deeds of the workers of iniquity, but we must return to Thy first love and thy first work. To break the yoke, we need to return to the ways of righteousness spoken of in Isaiah 58 which are the ways of Christ and the early Church. And His yoke is light for it is carried by our love of one another.

Remember Proverbs 12:24, "The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the Slothful shall be under Tribute."

We know that liberty under God is not for the covetous who are Biting one another but it is also not for the slothful. If we are not congregating together in free assemblies bound together in a broad network by faith, hope, and charity alone according to the perfect law of liberty then we are not truly seeking the Kingdom of God nor His righteousness.

If you are not doing what the early Church was doing then you might be a false believer.

20 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 (dunamis)and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
"God has given you one face, and you make yourself another" ~ William Shakespeare

25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman,
burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
Romans 1:29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
Romans 7:7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.
Romans 13:9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
1Corinthians 5:10 Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world.
1Corinthians 5:11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.

2 Corinthians 9:5 Therefore I thought it necessary to exhort the brethren, that they would go before unto you, and make up beforehand your bounty, whereof ye had notice before, that the same might be ready, as a matter of bounty, and not as of covetousness.
6 But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.
7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

Titus 1:16 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate. James 2:20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? Revelation 2:2 I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars: Revelation 2:9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.

[9] Matthew 20:25-26 But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them. But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister;
Mark 10:42-43 But Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye know that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them.

Luke 22:25-26 And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors. But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve.

[11] Matthew 7:16-20 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

[13] This word believe is from the Greek word pisteuo (πιστεύω)from the word for faith. It does mean to think something to be true but also to entrust a thing to one, i.e. his fidelity. And to do so in vain meant you claimed faith in Jesus as your Christ but you did not really put your faith or allegiance in His Way, So your faith was "without purpose"

Romans 1:8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.

[18] Galatians 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are [these]; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

[19] Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. 24 And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. 26 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.

1 Timothy 3:3 Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;

1 Timothy 6:10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

Romans 1:16 "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. 18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; 19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
20 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 (dunamis)and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
"God has given you one face, and you make yourself another" ~ William Shakespeare
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman,
burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
Romans 1:29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
Romans 7:7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.

1Corinthians 5:11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.
12 For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within?
13 But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.
1Corinthians 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

1 Corinthians 6:11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
2 Corinthians 9:5 Therefore I thought it necessary to exhort the brethren, that they would go before unto you, and make up beforehand your bounty, whereof ye had notice before, that the same might be ready, as a matter of bounty, and not as of covetousness.
6 But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.
7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:
9 (As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever.
Ephesians 5:1 Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;
2 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.

9 (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)
1 Thessalonians 2:4 But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts.
5 For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know, nor a cloke of covetousness; God is witness: 1 Timothy 3:3 Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;
1 Timothy 6:10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
2 Timothy 2:26 And [that] they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will. 2 Timothy 3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Hebrews 13:5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

+{{Whosoever Believeth}}
-Do you ''believeth that Jesus is the Christ''? Who do  you know that you believeth and are not just under a strong delusion? Many will say they believe but He will and does not know them because they do not know Him and because they are workers of iniquity.
-So the question is ''Who believeth''?
-Many recite that they believe that Jesus was the Christ and the son of God but they need to ''understand'' what that means and then they will manifest that faith in the fruit of their actions. If Christ makes a difference when we receive Him we will act accordingly. Our true belief will compel our actions.
+{{believer}}
-What would that belief look like. We are told in the context of His teachings and those of His disciples.
+{{Template:Commandments}}
-We know that it is written in 1 John 5 "Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him. By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.  For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.  Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?"
+{{Template:Network}}
-So there you have it that ''every one'' who ''believeth  loveth him'' and that claim of loving God includes ''the keeping of His commandments''. So anyone not keeping His commandments do not really believe nor do they love Him.<Ref>Exodus 20:6  And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
+== Footnotes ==
-Deuteronomy 5:10  And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments.

-Deuteronomy 19:9  If thou shalt keep all these commandments to do them, which I command thee this day, to love the LORD thy God, and to walk ever in his ways; then shalt thou add three cities more for thee, beside these three:
-Deuteronomy 30:16  In that I command thee this day to love the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it.
-Joshua 22:5  But take diligent heed to do the commandment and the law, which Moses the servant of the LORD charged you, to love the LORD your God, and to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and to cleave unto him, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul.
-Nehemiah 1:5  And said, I beseech thee, O LORD God of heaven, the great and terrible God, that keepeth covenant and mercy for them that love him and observe his commandments:
-Psalms 119:127  Therefore I love thy commandments above gold; yea, above fine gold.
-Daniel 9:4  And I prayed unto the LORD my God, and made my confession, and said, O Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping the covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments;
-Mark 12:30  And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.
-Mark 12:31  And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.
-John 13:34  A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
-John 14:15  If ye love me, keep my commandments.
-John 14:21  He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
-John 14:31  But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.
-John 15:10  If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love.
-John 15:12  This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.
-Romans 13:9  For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
-Corinthians 8:8  I speak not by commandment, but by occasion of the forwardness of others, and to prove the sincerity of your love.
-John 3:23  And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.

-John 1:6  And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.</Ref> So it should be abundantly clear that keeping the commandments is the evidence of our love and if we keep not the commandments then we know that our love is false and we have need of repentance because it "is the love of God, that we keep his commandments".
-Today coveting your neighbors goods in a socialist state is legal. Everyone is encouraged by governments and their churches to take from one another through the process of voting in new taxes, more debt to obtain more benefits at the expense of your neighbor and children and grand children for generations to come.
+<references />
-Everyone wants free education, free healthcare, free protection and guaranteed Welfare from men who call themselves [[Benefactors]] but exercise authority directly opposite the instructions of Christ.
+{{Template:Gregory-info‎}}
-Everyone takes a bite out of one another<Ref>Galatians 5:15 But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.</Ref> in these [[Covetous practices]]. So some rebel and flee and say we will not take the benefits nor pay into such a system because we believe not in the ways of covetousness. But do they believe in love? Do they believe in Jesus? Do they believe in the [[Blood]] of Jesus? Are they a part of the [[Body of Christ]]?

-When Judas was on his way to betray Christ Jesus said to His apostles:
+[[Category:Words]]
-: John 13:34 "A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another."
-This was not a new commandment because Moses had already said it but he was giving them an old commandment anew. He was a second witness to the nature of God so that you would know who really believed.
-: John 13:35 "By this shall all [men] know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another."
-So do not tell me you believe but show me by your works.<Ref>John 10:38  But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.
-Titus 1:16  They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.
-James 2:20  But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
-Revelation 2:2  I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:
-Revelation 2:9  I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
-Revelation 2:13  I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan’s seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.

-Revelation 3:15  I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.</Ref>
-Today the world has returned to the bondage of Egypt to the vanity of Rome along with its decadence and corruption. The day of judgment is upon us and we have need of repentance. So the answer to to the question ''Who believeth'' is not found in endless repetitions or [[False religion]] but in Pure Religion. It is found in the answer to the question do you love one another? Do you attend to the {{Template:Weightier matters}}?
