== Not inherit the kingdom ==
== Not inherit the kingdom ==


There is a list of people whom we are told will not inherit the [[Kingdom of God]]:
A common teaching in the [[Modern Christians]] is that all you have to do is be baptized<Ref name="bap">Just because some ones dunks you in water and says words does not mean you have received the [[baptism]] of Christ, nor are you [[saved]].  <Br>"Be not [[deceived]]: neither [[fornicator|fornicators]], nor [[idolaters]], nor [[Adultery|adulterers]], nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10 Nor thieves, nor [[covetous]], nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor [[extortion|extortioners]], shall inherit the kingdom of God." <Br>Anyone still [[covet]]ing their neighbor's goods, labor, or property through men of governments who "[[exercise authority]]" one over the other and desire their [[dainties]] and [[benefits]] do not truly [[believer|believe]] in Jesus nor His doctrine.
http://preparingyou.com/wiki/Not_inherit_the_kingdom</Ref> and believe and you are saved because the [[Ten Commandments]] are done away with in the New Covenant.
 
We know there is a verse in [[Colossians 2]]:14  "Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, [[Nailing it to His cross|nailing it to his cross]];"
 
Paul is not talking about the [[Ten Commandments]] as the hand written ordinances, because God wrote them and because they would not be contrary to us. Besides we know from [[Romans 2]]:15 and [[2 Corinthians 3]]:2-3  <Ref>[[2 Corinthians 3]]:3  [Forasmuch as ye are] manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.</Ref> that the law should be written on our hearts according to his new covenant<Ref>[[Hebrews 8]]:10  For this [is] the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
Hebrews 10:16  This [is] the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;</Ref> as prophesied in Jeramiah.<Ref>[[Jeremiah 31]]:33  But this [shall be] the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.</Ref>
 
If what we do, our works, are in violation of those [[Ten Commandments]] of God that is evidence that our faith is not real faith.<Ref>[[James 2]]:17  Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. 18  Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.
19  Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. 20  But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?...26  For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.</Ref>
 
But still, many [[modern Christians]] persist that the [[Ten Commandments]] are done away with because Paul says we are saved by [[faith]]. We are saved by faith but how do we know if we have real faith?
 
To hold up a few verses and interpret them out of the context Paul and the whole gospel bring vain imagination and a [[strong delusion]]. who says in [[1 Corinthians 6]]:9 "Know ye not that the [[unrighteous]] shall [[not inherit the kingdom]] of God? Be not deceived: neither [[fornicator|fornicators]], nor [[idolaters]], nor [[Adultery|adulterers]], nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10  Nor thieves, nor [[covetous]], nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor [[extortioner|extortioners]], shall inherit the [[kingdom of God]]."
 
If they were correct about their interpretation of Paul then that would mean that ''fornicators, idolaters, adulterers, effeminate, abusers of themselves with mankind, thieves, covetous, drunkards, revilers, extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God'' because the [[Ten Commandments]] telling us not to do these things was done away with.
 
We see a similar list with the same outcome in [[Galatians 5]]:18  "But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. 19  Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are [these]; [[Adultery]], fornication, uncleanness, [[lasciviousness]], 20  [[Idolatry]], witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21  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."
 
The law still has to be written on your heart and mind otherwise you are not the 'we' spoken of by Paul.
 
Loving one another includes taking care of one another by love which is also translated charity.
 
If the law is written on your heart and mind then will see the evidence of it because there are consequences as we see in [[2 Peter 2]]:3, [[2 Peter 2]]:14.
 
In Acts we see Paul and the Apostles keeping the commandments caring for the people through [[charity]] alone [[Pure Religion|unspotted by the world]].
 
[[Acts 6]]: 1. "And in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplied, there arose a murmuring of the Grecians against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the [[daily ministration]]."
 
They were keeping the [[Ten Commandments]] about not [[covet]]ing anything that is thy neighbors because it was written on their heart.
 
Many [[modern Christians]] both in the institutional church and home church movement do not follow the instruction of Jesus Christ concerning not being like the rulers of the gentiles who "[[exercise authority]]" one over the other to provide [[benefits]] by way of a [[welfare]] system of force and debt.
 
In the New Covenant Jesus was adamant and forbid His followers to make the governments of the [[world]] and the rulers who [[exercise authority]] their [[benefactors]]. See [[Matthew 20]]:25, [[Mark 10]]:42 , [[Luke 22]]:25.
 
Forcing your neighbor to provide you with free stuff is not [[love]] but the [[workers of iniquity|works of iniquity]]. The [[early Church]] would not do that but [[modern Christian]] under a [[strong delusion]] do so as a matter of policy and these false teaching that it is okay to violate the [[Ten Commandments]] of God that is supposed to be written on our hearts and minds by His Holy Spirit dwelling in us.
 
If [[modern Christians]] would [[repent]] and do what Christ told the [[early Church]] to do, and we see being done in Acts by them, then they too would be providing daily bread from house to house through [[charity]] and not the [[Covetous practices]] which is clearly not love.


[[File:notinherit.jpg|right|300px|thumb|The unrighteous shall [[Not inherit the kingdom|not inherit the kingdom]] of God. Does this have to do with being [[Joint heirs]] or receiving the [[Eucharist|bread]] divided from house to house, or both? <Br>n those who eat at the table of unrighteousness also eat at the table of Christ? <Br>Can we friends and even faithful in service at the [[unrighteous mammon]] while we seek the [[kingdom of God]] and His [[righteousness]].]]
These lists of people whom we are told will not inherit the [[Kingdom of God]] may think they believe but James tells us by their works we know their faith is dead.

The unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God.[1] What does this have to do with being Joint heirs or receiving the bread divided from house to house, or the table you choose to eat at?[2]
Can those who eat the dainties of rulers at the table filled with the reward of unrighteousness also eat at the table of the Corban of Christ?
Can we be friends and even faithful in service at the unrighteous mammon while we seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness? Are we pursuing the error of Balaam?[3]

Not inherit the kingdom

A common teaching in the Modern Christians is that all you have to do is be baptized[4] and believe and you are saved because the Ten Commandments are done away with in the New Covenant.

We know there is a verse in Colossians 2:14 "Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;"

Paul is not talking about the Ten Commandments as the hand written ordinances, because God wrote them and because they would not be contrary to us. Besides we know from Romans 2:15 and 2 Corinthians 3:2-3 [5] that the law should be written on our hearts according to his new covenant[6] as prophesied in Jeramiah.[7]

If what we do, our works, are in violation of those Ten Commandments of God that is evidence that our faith is not real faith.[8]

But still, many modern Christians persist that the Ten Commandments are done away with because Paul says we are saved by faith. We are saved by faith but how do we know if we have real faith?

To hold up a few verses and interpret them out of the context Paul and the whole gospel bring vain imagination and a strong delusion. who says in 1 Corinthians 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, 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God."

If they were correct about their interpretation of Paul then that would mean that fornicators, idolaters, adulterers, effeminate, abusers of themselves with mankind, thieves, covetous, drunkards, revilers, extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God because the Ten Commandments telling us not to do these things was done away with.

We see a similar list with the same outcome in Galatians 5:18 "But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. 19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are [these]; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21 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."

The law still has to be written on your heart and mind otherwise you are not the 'we' spoken of by Paul.

Loving one another includes taking care of one another by love which is also translated charity.

If the law is written on your heart and mind then will see the evidence of it because there are consequences as we see in 2 Peter 2:3, 2 Peter 2:14.

In Acts we see Paul and the Apostles keeping the commandments caring for the people through charity alone unspotted by the world.

Acts 6: 1. "And in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplied, there arose a murmuring of the Grecians against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily ministration."

They were keeping the Ten Commandments about not coveting anything that is thy neighbors because it was written on their heart.

Many modern Christians both in the institutional church and home church movement do not follow the instruction of Jesus Christ concerning not being like the rulers of the gentiles who "exercise authority" one over the other to provide benefits by way of a welfare system of force and debt.

In the New Covenant Jesus was adamant and forbid His followers to make the governments of the world and the rulers who exercise authority their benefactors. See Matthew 20:25, Mark 10:42 , Luke 22:25.

Forcing your neighbor to provide you with free stuff is not love but the works of iniquity. The early Church would not do that but modern Christian under a strong delusion do so as a matter of policy and these false teaching that it is okay to violate the Ten Commandments of God that is supposed to be written on our hearts and minds by His Holy Spirit dwelling in us.

If modern Christians would repent and do what Christ told the early Church to do, and we see being done in Acts by them, then they too would be providing daily bread from house to house through charity and not the Covetous practices which is clearly not love.

These lists of people whom we are told will not inherit the Kingdom of God may think they believe but James tells us by their works we know their faith is dead.

Could you be on that list?
You say you believe in Christ, but do you?
10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God."

Paul is not saying you can still do these things and be saved because if you are still doing these things then you have not really repented nor could you really love Jesus because if you did you would keep His commandments.[9]

  • Galatians 5:18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, : : 20 Idolatry, witchcraft[10], hatred[11], variance[12], emulations[13], wrath[14], strife[15], seditions[16], heresies[17],
21 Envyings[18], murders[19], drunkenness[20], revellings[21], 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.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love[22], joy[23], peace [24], longsuffering[25], gentleness[26], goodness[27], faith[28],
23 Meekness [29], temperance[30]: 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.


We are saved by faith but that faith, when it is true faith, produces the works of faith.


  • Romans 1:17 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 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.
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;
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication [metaph. the worship of idols ], wickedness[evil purposes and desires][31], covetousness[32], maliciousness[33]; full of envy[34], murder[35], debate[36], deceit[37], malignity[38]; whisperers[39],
30 Backbiters[defamer][40], haters of God,[41] despiteful[42], proud[43], boasters[44], inventors[ contriver] of evil things[45], disobedient[46] to parents,
31 Without understanding[47], covenantbreakers[48], without natural affection[unsociable][49], implacable[without a treaty or covenant ][50], unmerciful[51]
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.
  • 1 Corinthians 5:9 ¶ I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators:
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.
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.
  • 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.
8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.
9 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.
10 ¶ But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,
11 Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me.
12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;
15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
  • Matthew 25:30 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
31 ¶ When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

  3. ↑ The way of error
    2 Peter 2:15 Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam [the son] of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;
    Jude 1:11 "Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core. 12 These are spots(not "unspotted" like Pure Religion) in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds [they are] without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;"
    Revelation 2:14-17 "But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication ("to permit one’s self to be drawn away by another into idolatry"). 15 So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate. 16 Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth. 17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth [it]."
