THE ANTI CHRIST CHRISTIANS

M A C

MEANING: Jesus tells us to listen to Him and obey His teachings. Let us watch and pray that we will not fall into the trap of subtle deceptions of false teachings that seem to closely resemble that of the teachings of Jesus Christ.
Remember the deceivers like false teachers and prophets move around in the same circle with the genuine followers of Jesus that we barely if not unable to recognize them and their wicked schemes.

APPLICATION: Are we satisfied with hearsay? What about getting the news directly from the horse’s mouth?
We must take the initiative to read, study, and understand the teachings of Jesus in the Bible and get to know Him more and more as we apply His teachings in our daily lives.
As true Christians, let us keep a close watch so that no one can fool us!

CHARACTER OF JESUS: He is a jealous God. He does not want us to listen to and obey other teachings except His own.

John14:5-31

5Thomas said to him, "Lord, we don't know where you are going, so how can we know the way?" 6Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him."
8Philip said, "Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us."
9Jesus answered: "Don't you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'? 10Don't you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you are not just my own. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work. 11Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the miracles themselves. 12I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. 13And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. 14You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.
15"If you love me, you will obey what I command. 16And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever— 17the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you. 18I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. 19Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. 20On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. 21Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and show myself to him."
22Then Judas (not Judas Iscariot) said, "But, Lord, why do you intend to show yourself to us and not to the world?"
23Jesus replied, "If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. 24He who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me. 25"All this I have spoken while still with you. 26But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. 27Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
28"You heard me say, 'I am going away and I am coming back to you.' If you loved me, you would be glad that I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I. 29I have told you now before it happens, so that when it does happen you will believe. 30I will not speak with you much longer, for the prince of this world is coming. He has no hold on me, 31but the world must learn that I love the Father and that I do exactly what my Father has commanded me. "Come now; let us leave.

DID YOU KNOW THAT...

Some Christian Church leaders, preachers, and teachers are no longer focused on the teachings of Jesus but instead on the advices of Paul in his letters to churches that are becoming like doctrines.

Remember what Jesus said in Matthew 24:35 "Heaven and earth will pass away but my words will not pass away."

SHAME ON YOU!

M A C

Meaning: When Jesus sent forth his twelve disciples (trained and disciplined) for work they are named as apostles (apostles Ancient Greek: ἀπόστολος apostolos, one sent forth as a messenger) because they will bring good news to the people. Jesus said “I am sending you out like sheeps among the wolves,” then why do the “modern day apostles” or those who claimed themselves as workers of the Kingdom of God have affixed to their names the titles like Pope or Father, Pastor, Reverend, Minister, Teacher, Bishop and all other titles? Worse, some workers claim to be the “Appointed Son.”

Stop putting yourselves of equal rank with Jesus as shepherd. STOP using such titles to put yourselves higher than other sheeps. Why? Because it is very clear in the Scriptures for the apostles to be like the sheep. It is because your title, however, grand it may sound can never be equal to that of Jesus’. He is the only Good Shepherd. Only Jesus is worthy of the honor and glory. SHAME ON YOU!

Now if you're going to tell me about what Paul have said in Ephesians 4:11-12 "and some to be pastors...," notice the spelling of the word "pastors" in that verse, it was written in small letter "p" as a work not as title.

Application: Now is the time to get rid of your titles and be like one of the sheeps of the Lord Jesus who searches for the lost sheeps. From now on remember that you are not a shepherd and Jesus must be your shepherd.

Character of Jesus Christ: Though we are like sheeps who are sent to the wolves to look for other sheeps that are lost, He will not let us be all alone. He will be with us. He will send thru the Holy Spirit who will speak through us. He knows that a sheep needs a shepherd that is why He gave us the right instructions which we simply have to follow.

Matthew 10:1-42

1He called his twelve disciples to him and gave them authority to drive out evil spirits and to heal every disease and sickness. 2These are the names of the twelve apostles: first, Simon (who is called Peter) and his brother Andrew; James son of Zebedee, and his brother John; 3Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; 4Simon the Zealot and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him. 5These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: "Do not go among the Gentiles or enter any town of the Samaritans. 6Go rather to the lost sheep of Israel. 7As you go, preach this message: 'The kingdom of heaven is near.' 8Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received, freely give. 9Do not take along any gold or silver or copper in your belts; 10take no bag for the journey, or extra tunic, or sandals or a staff; for the worker is worth his keep. 11"Whatever town or village you enter, search for some worthy person there and stay at his house until you leave. 12As you enter the home, give it your greeting. 13If the home is deserving, let your peace rest on it; if it is not, let your peace return to you. 14If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that home or town. 15I tell you the truth, it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah on the Day of Judgment than for that town. 16I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves. 17"Be on your guard against men; they will hand you over to the local councils and flog you in their synagogues. 18On my account you will be brought before governors and kings as witnesses to them and to the Gentiles. 19But when they arrest you, do not worry about what to say or how to say it. At that time you will be given what to say, 20for it will not be you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you. 21"Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; children will rebel against their parents and have them put to death. 22All men will hate you because of me, but he who stands firm to the end will be saved. 23When you are persecuted in one place, flee to another. I tell you the truth, you will not finish going through the cities of Israel before the Son of Man comes. 24"A student is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master. 25It is enough for the student to be like his teacher, and the servant like his master. If the head of the house has been called Beelzebub, how much more the members of his household! 26"So do not be afraid of them. There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known. 27What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the roofs. 28Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell. 29Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father. 30And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 31So don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows. 32"Whoever acknowledges me before men, I will also acknowledge him before my Father in heaven. 33But whoever disowns me before men, I will disown him before my Father in heaven. 34"Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35For I have come to turn " 'a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother in law— 36a man's enemies will be the members of his own household. 37"Anyone who loves his father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; 38and anyone who does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. 39Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. 40"He who receives you receives me, and he who receives me receives the one who sent me. 41Anyone who receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet's reward, and anyone who receives a righteous man because he is a righteous man will receive a righteous man's reward. 42And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is my disciple, I tell you the truth, he will certainly not lose his reward."

DID YOU KNOW THAT…

Judas Iscariot, the apostles who betrayed Jesus, was likewise given authority to preach the Good News that the kingdom of heaven is near, the power to heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy and drive out demons thru the power of the Holy spirit? YES! Jesus when He sent forth the twelve (12) apostles did not say I will give you the authority except, Judas because he will betray me at the end. Jesus gave each and everyone of the twelve apostles including Judas Iscariot all authority and the power of the Holy Spirit to carry out their tasks.
