REALITY CHECK 4

The all-important question is this: Are you IN CHRIST, or not? Have you fled to Christ Himself for Refuge from the wrath to come on your sins which you personally committed? Vain human imaginations and thoughts only lead to eternal wrath, dreadful doom and everlasting contempt. Are you under the wrath of God, or delivered from it by Christ's Precious Blood? Have you continued in all things in the book of the Law to do them? What is your plea before the Judge of all the Earth? Answer sincerely and straight forward for your own Soul's sake. Will you remain self-deceived and go on presumptuously until the flames of Hell wake you up from your self-deception? The wearisome slavery of religion has deluded you up until now, for dead religion led you to try and weave a righteousness of your own. You've got your ACT together, but it's all been an ACT, that's for sure, in the sight of God. The noise of religion and distracting voices of this world have turned your ear from the GOSPEL. Self-help is the quickest way to Hell; your Soul needs Divine Help from above, that is, your dead Soul must be regenerated by the Divine Power of the Spirit of God, and freely given the Divine Nature of God by the Free Grace of God.

I am a sinner, but JESUS died for me. I am sinner saved by Precious Blood. Christ was made a Curse in my place when He bore my sins in His own body on the Cross. I am now safe and secure forever, really converted and regenerated by the work of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit gave me the hearing ear inwardly, retentive memory, and a quickened conscience, for JESUS' sake. The Commandment is exceeding broad: no other gods before ME; mammon worship, self-worship, belly, business, family. Set up anything in the place of GOD; human honor, pleasures, drunkenness, lust, uncleanness. Taken the name of the LORD in vain; profanity, refuse to pay reverence and give glory to His name. Keep the Sabbath; forgotten God days without number, and never gave Him heart worship and glory. Honor father and mother; disobedient to their commands, kicked at their authority, striven with their rebuke and correction; dishonored and shamed them. Thou shalt not kill: angry with your neighbor, hate your brother. Thou shalt not commit adultery; lascivious thought, impure imagination, fornication. Thou shalt not steal; defraud not your employer, customer, or God. Thou shalt not covet: lust after money, position, miser's greed. 

You have insulted your Maker to His face daily. You never have done the best you could. You haven't obeyed God from the heart since the first dawn of reason. You're never been Content, you always are coveting after something, and then something more. Your hollow Soul craves for worldly things, vain amusements, and drugs of this world. Your immortal Soul can never be satisfied by temporal mortal toys and trinkets. Worldliness can never fill and satisfy your heart. Vain beauty and painted cheeks is a mere pretense. You wish to kill time because of your uneasiness within. You want to drink half the day, sleep the other half, and party the other part. 

Some new pleasure, some new device or toy may give you a little temporary excitement and entertainment, but at the last, you still remain a hopeless empty wretch. Your soul has become jaded and degraded by the endless filth flowing from this world. Your uneasiness intensifies, magnified to the extreme, you walk through dry places, seeking rest, longing for peace of mind, but finding none, always thirsting, feeding upon the husks and the wind, hungering, longing, yearning, groaning, sighing, pining, growing more conscious of your endless misery, aware of your deep pollution, wandering in the pitch black darkness of sin, feeling your poverty, and your Soul's hunger cannot be stayed. May your uneasiness bring you to the feet of Christ Jesus. 

Salvation by works is absolutely impossible for your guilty Soul. You've continued not in all the things of the Law, not even some things. You have not shunned all vices, performed all virtues, and attained a pure thought life. You've chosen the evil, and turned to the path that leads down to Hell. You've cursed God and Christ thousands of times a year with your foul mouth and vile heart. You're past feeling now, beyond hope, dull despair, the sure approach of damnation has come, and all your time now is past. The Bible cuts you to the heart and frightens you, and you have neglected and made light of the simple Gospel of Christ. You're struggling hard in your darkness. You have a few more hours or days in which you may escape the damnation of hell. A wise man always prepares for the inevitable. All of your vanity will soon be buried under six feet of dirt and dust. Your body is hasting to the cold grave, but your Soul will be dwelling in darkness, the second Death, in eternal despair. Beware of your own delusional state: May the Holy Spirit help you sense and feel the dismal forebodings of the judgment and wrath to come, But still you may say, "I've been no worse that others," but God will deal with you severely and justly. Salvation must be between you and Christ only, not some priest, elder, imam, or any other religious proxy. The Law sees your overt acts, and covert acts: thoughts, imaginations, conception of sin, premeditation, and the deeds that defile, degrade, and ruin the Soul. The very thought of foolishness is Sin. Cursed is every Soul that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the LAW to do them. Off with your mask, away with all your vain excuses; The Blood and Righteousness of Christ Jesus must cover your guilty Soul. You've fallen into many temptations and snares, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which will drown your Soul in everlasting destruction and eternal perdition. Behold the Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world.

You scarcely give an ear to anything about God or Christ Jesus. Your ungodly unconverted Soul has at times had an uneasiness about death. The wrath of God abideth even on your Soul now, because you still neglect/reject Christ Jesus. You have long resisted the Holy Spirit, and neglected to come to the Son of God, now you're so far gone, long gone from bad to worse, from sin to iniquity to transgression. In a few short days, months, or years, you must die. You must lie upon your own personal, dreadful, real deathbed: they'll call your next of kin, and the doctor will say to you, "I have some bad news, there's no hope, time to say your prayers and goodbyes." It's all over but weeping, wailing, gnashing of teeth, the clock ticks, the day of mercy is gone, your family is weeping, the death rattle fills your throat, death has come up into your window, you have death-glazed eyes; no bragging, loud blasphemies, or proud boastings will come out of your mouth then. 

There's absolutely Nothing but a grim outlook for you without Christ. You must face unspeakable horror soon, the grim Reality seizes upon you at times, but you turn to the bottle or some chemical to settle your nerves with intoxication, inebriation, delirium mingled with regret and remorse making your very existence intolerable, vexed with fears, most hideous state, and you feel like ending it all. ETERNITY awaits you, and no frauds, dreams, experiences, whims, or some old Popish and Islamic fables will help your dead Soul. When your heart begins to flatline, and the candle of your Soul is ready to die out, Reality will set in. No more jokes and jests about Christ, no more making fun of God and the Holy Bible, and making a mock at Sin. Dark gloom gathers around your dead spirit. You'll be tossing and turning, strengthless on your bed, begging for more morphine, your pulse will grow faint and begin to fail, a clammy death-sweat will bead up on your brow, you'll feel the last pinch, the dreary point of despair as you begin to expire, your frail corpse being propped up on the bed, you are nearing the grave without hope. You experience a foretaste of Death Hell, and start to feel all the horrors of perdition which fall upon ungodly men, and begin to tremble like a leaf in a hurricane, the thought of dying you cannot bear. You hate the mention of inevitable death; the fear of dying haunts you, for soon you will have to deal with the awful REALITY of death, sooner or later. You won't be cracking a joke about Hell then. You often try to cover up your dismay; you're afraid of not getting your bills paid, so you get to work; you're afraid of going to hell, so you get to church, but that don't work; you're afraid of dying, so you get to the doctor. 

But your Soul will soon be launching out into Eternity forever with no hope of eternal salvation ever again, the thread of life will soon snap, and you'll go into the world to come. The wrath to come has finally arrived for you. Whither goest thou, sinner? Your spirit will be awakened from its sullen, stolid, stupid, insane, dead state. Your time is up sinner, the sand has run out, you face the dark monster, the shadow of death, all by yourself. Your body will die, but your Soul will not cease to exist, you will live on forever and ever. The Second Death is the Curse that falls on the Christless Soul. It is appointed unto men once to die, but after DEATH the JUDGMENT. You'll feel the sting of death when you enter the dreadful dominion of REALITY. It will be an awful thing for you to die without the Savior, and die unforgiven and unprepared to face the most frightful Curse and the Consuming Fire of God Almighty Himself. You must face the burning sentence of eternal wrath: Depart ye cursed into everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels. The funeral dirge of a lost Soul is a hopeless miserable ceremony, but everyone gets drunk, so don't have to think about where the poor lost Soul actually went when he passed into ETERNITY. 

Hearken to the Holy Spirit's promptings concerning Sin, Righteousness, and the Judgment to come, regard the Savior's words and calls. The barbarians laughed and mocked at Noah, until the flood came, and took them all away, and destroyed them all. You need Christ's all-sufficient divine RIGHTEOUSNESS, because you can never be saved by your own works. You utterly condemned by your own sins. You have merited damnation justly; be wise now, Give ear to the Gospel; May the Holy Spirit enable you to sense your sinful state, and feel the bitterness of your Sins, Hate your Sins, Sincerely Repent from the heart, Look to JESUS sincerely and live eternally, Call upon His Name, look no more to yourself or your dead religion, Trust only in JESUS' Precious Blood Atonement to cleanse your Soul, and take away your Sins forever. God laid on JESUS the iniquity of us all; The Father cursed His dear Son to save guilty sinners like you. May the Holy Spirit make you Wise unto Salvation, and bring you into Christ, unto the knowledge of the Truth, and the true Grace of God.  

I am a self-condemned sinner, I deserve eternal damnation, I've tried to do right and be better, but only grew worse. I slighted God's Grace and spurned His bleeding Love, I have despised Christ and His Gospel. I am a wretch through and through. I have nothing to plead of myself. My only plea is this: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; JESUS offered up Himself on the Cross for sinners. I am a sinner, so JESUS came to save me, I trust in HIM alone, He is my only Confidence and Rest. The sinner that comes to JESUS, He will in no wise cast out. I cast away all other empty trusts; I simply/sincerely trust (believe), and rely only on CHRIST JESUS Himself, for HE has FINISHED the Great Atonement for human sin.

DIVINE JUSTICE SATISFIED 14

Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners from Divine Justice. JESUS can now actually redeem sinners by the Ransom which He purchased when He gave Himself for rebel sinners on Calvary's Cross. Now once in the end of the world hath JESUS appeared to put away Sin by the SACRIFICE OF HIMSELF. By JESUS' suffering and sinless bloody death in our place, the Justice of Almighty God was eternally satisfied by JESUS' Precious Blood Atonement, and God's Law was honored by JESUS' Perfect RIGHTEOUSNESS. We all have violated all of God's Laws, therefore a Punishment has to be exacted from every one of us. The eternal Punishment the Lord Jesus Christ Himself endured in our place on the CROSS, and as He was dying, God the Father forsook Him, because He was bearing our sins, and became a CURSE for us. Christ Jesus has paid the great price and propitiated Divine Justice in our stead. God cannot smite me now, for He has smitten Christ instead of me. There is a key word in the New Testament which is PROPITIATION - This means that God's Divine Justice was satisfied by a PERSON bleeding and dying with your Sins upon His innocent Soul. JESUS' Soul was made a SIN OFFERING for your transgressions and iniquities (Isaiah 53:10). JESUS offered up Himself once for the sins of the whole world (Romans 3:25; 1 John 2:2; 1 John 4:10). 

My Sin Debt has been paid, and can never be demanded of me ever again. All my Sins are gone forever, and washed away in JESUS' Blood. Eternal Divine Justice cannot charge or condemn me now with Sins which were once and for all charged to my Great Substitute, The Lamb of God, and borne by Him all by Himself on the CROSS. I am not condemned now, for JESUS was condemned for me, even JESUS in Whom my Soul fixes its full Trust. The very center of the Atonement is found in the Substitution of the Innocent Savior for the guilty sinner, for He actually bore my Sins in His own body on the Tree; JESUS' BLOOD is the Real Payment of my Sin Debt. JESUS in my place has vindicated Divine Justice, honored the entire Law, and glorified God the Father. 

Be wise, admit that you deserve Divine Wrath, and submit to the LORD'S Holy Justice. All of human righteousness shrivels up before the balances of Divine Justice. We are utterly unable to make amends for our sins against God. God righteously demands absolute sinless Perfection from us, and that we keep His entire Law flawlessly. We could never do that, but JESUS obeyed the LAW for us. Whosoever is guilty of the LAW in one point is guilty of it all. God's Law is like a priceless vase, and one chip made in the vase has defiled its beauty forever. A Perfect obedience to God's Perfect Law is that which is demanded of you by Divine Justice. You have rebelled against human and divine authority all through your life. The CROSS speaks of a Ransom paid, and the Atonement is now accepted by God the Father, for He raised up His Son JESUS from the dead. Now the Law is magnified by Christ's Righteousness, Justice is Satisfied by Christ's Blood Death, and Mercy is Free to the sinner. The word of the Cross is found in II Corinthians 5:19-21. 

The carnal mind cannot endure a thrice Holy God, but all men want a god of some sort, and human wisdom loves to manufacture a god for itself that suits its sins, a god who has no real Justice, and takes no Vengeance on human sins. By nature, every man wants to be his own deity, for he worships his own imaginations, inventions, and image.

Come now to JESUS and welcome to the Cross, for God has both vindicated His Law and displayed/commended His Love, and now offers all sinners free and full Forgiveness of Sins. God's Mercy is to be had for nothing - Free Pardon, Free Justification, Perfect Cleansing, Complete Atonement, Present Eternal Salvation. In Christ Jesus, I have already been judged, condemned, punished, and cleared of the Holy Law, and all its Penalties. 

Believe in Christ, Received His Atonement, all the benefits of Christ's Substitution for the ungodly. JESUS has paid the full penalty due to Divine Justice for my Sins, and now I am eternally Free of Liability. By the suffering of bloody death, JESUS vindicated and made Satisfaction to the injured Law of God. JESUS stepped forward on my behalf and presented Himself as the sinless Victim to Divine Justice. JESUS laid down His sinless Life for me, so He could remove from the eternal death Penalty due to Divine Justice, and reconciled me to God by His own Precious Blood. Now God has forgiven me for JESUS' sake. 

JESUS is Grace and Truth, and Justice and Mercy bound up in one Person. Your Soul shall soon be required of You. You cannot get divine Understanding from a college course. You are climbing a rotten ladder leaning against a teetering wall. Your life is very brief and terribly unpredictable; your time is always ready. You've abused the sacred trust of life, broken God's Law, and slighted His Son. God's Vengeance has gone out against your Sins. 

There is only one Way of deliverance from the Wrath of God (John 14:6). The lightning of God's Vengeance once struck the sinner's Substitute on the Cross, and now it will not smite the sinner who believes in JESUS from the heart. You cannot get true Wisdom and Eternal Life from anywhere or anyone, but Christ Jesus Himself. Human nature does not want God's Wisdom. Only the pure in heart shall see God. God is Truth, and He desires Truth in your inward parts. Christ Jesus has bled away His Life as my Substitute. What else can satisfy the Divine Justice of God but Christ's Precious Blood Atonement for human sins? 

Nothing else will content God but His own dear Son. God only respects one Person, Christ Jesus the LORD. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and nothing but JESUS. By JESUS obedience unto the death, the Law is not vindicated fully, Justice is satisfied, Grace is glorified, and Mercy is Freer than the air you are breathing. Pride is a God-defying Sin, spurning Divine Justice just as Cain did with his evil works, challenging God as Pharaoh did, making Self into a god as Nebuchadnezzar did. If Divine Justice was carried out towards your Soul right now, you would surely be sent to Hell. The Gospel is the divine proclamation that God is now prepared and able to deal with guilty sinners on the grounds of free favor and pure mercy, for JESUS' sake. 

The conscience within every man's being teaches him that God is Just and will surely punish Sin in the world to come. We have all sinned, and come short of the Glory and Sinless Perfection of God, and upon the ground oif Justice we must perish, but God hath made JESUS to be Sin for us, Who knew no Sin, that we might be made the Righteousness of God in JESUS, through Faith in JESUS' Precious Blood. The GOSPEL is News of the very best kind - The Judge of all the Earth is now prepared to Pardon all my Sins freely, and to Justify my ungodly Soul, for Christ's sake. The GOSPEL is good news to the sinful Soul that God will now freely forgive all your sins, for JESUS' sake. 

God will cover the Sinner with JESUS' Righteousness, and receive the Sinner into His favor, but not on account of anything the sinner has done, or ever will do, but out of Pure Grace and for His name's sake. We are all guilty without exception, and all most justly condemned for our Sins, but God is ready to Pardon and take the curse from us, and freely give us the Blessedness of His Son's Righteousness, as an act of God' pure Mercy. For JESUS' sake, God can now be Just, and yet the JUSTIFIER of him that believeth in JESUS. The sinner can now be Justified Freely by God's Grace through the Redemption that is in Christ Jesus. God is Merciful and Gracious, and very Ready to bless the most unworthy Sinner. 

The Gospel proclaims even now to the penitent, desponding, despairing Sinner, that their Sins deserve Hell, nevertheless God's Grace can give them Heaven freely, and make them fit for God's presence, independent of your good behavior and doings. This is the Gospel of the Grace of God - that God is able to deal with sinful men in pure Mercy, altogether apart from their sins or their doings, because their sins were laid upon the spotless Lamb of God who has offered up Himself to Divine Justice as a Perfect Satisfaction, so now God is glorious in holiness, yet Rich in Mercy toward the undeserving sinner. Eternal Justice would not spare even JESUS when God laid on HIM the iniquity of us ALL. Your sins crucified JESUS and caused His bloody death, and now please, Behold the Lamb of God which taketh away the Sin of the world; Believe on the LORD JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF, and your Soul shall be saved from the wrath to come on Sins. If you want to go to Heaven, trust JESUS CHRIST; if you want to go to Hell, just trust something else, for anything else you may trust, especially yourself, will surely damn your Soul forever. 

THE POPESTER 10

The Popester is the true descendent of Judas Iscariot, the single (unbetrothed) betraying Traitor, and not Simon Peter, the married commercial fisherman. Religion always gets it backwards. The Pope sits on his little make-believe papal throne in Vatican City with an idolatrous crucifix/ferula as his toy scepter, trying to control the world affairs and politics, leading Souls off into the black darkness of superstitious pagan Romanism. Now understand: The Holy See is wholly BLIND. There is a way which seemeth right unto the Popester, but the END thereof are the ways of ETERNAL DEATH. Popery is a great serpent which wraps itself around the Souls and minds of sleeping catholics. Roman Catholicism is very polluted, thoroughly rotten, and utterly profane in every way. The Popester loves to seen of men, honored by men, he loves his vain titles and honors. 

The unholy trinity is made up of Satan, the Popester (the wolf of Rome), and the spirit of this world, other wise known as the spirit of antichrist and spirit of error. The Pope knowingly leads your Soul down Delusion Lane (no outlet) right off into the Lake of Fire. Human nature began the Roman Catholic Church, and human nature will carry it on straight off in the hell fire where it belongs. The Catholic Church has beautiful religious exterior, but inside it is full of dead men's bones and all uncleanness. It is raving madness to believe that there is a purgatory, and that you will escape it after years of punishment. Human nature loves second-hand religion which is borrowed from a priest. Human nature WILL NOT comes directly to the BIBLE and drink straight from the fountain-head for itself. Only a poor benighted Soul would follow after the Pope. The Pope leads you to think lightly Christ's Finished Blood Atonement and uses religious tactics to his own advantage to gain power, influence, and money. All of the Catholic practices is just self-righteousness taking another shape. All of your efforts before you trust Christ's Righteousness are evil works, the way of Cain (1 John 3:12). 

The priest teaches you to pay much attention and obedience to outward ceremonies invented by the Pope. The priest thinks that the slightest infringement in a ceremonial observance in the most sacred place on a holy day is a great sin against God. The Muslims follow their caliphs, sharifs, imams, mullahs, and 'grand' ayatollahs off into hell, and catholics follow the Pope, Mary, and their cardinals, bishops, and priests off into the lake of fire: one is just damnable as the other. The Catholic Mass is one of the most revolting foul delusions ever invented by lost religionists. The Catholic Mass is pure devilish nonsense, all a farce, sacraments can never make your Soul ALIVE from the dead. The Pope teaches the pretended miracles of the virgin mary goddess (old Romish pagan demon) to the deluded votaries of Romanism which pour out libation to a false female deity. The priests points you to deny yourself and do penance and pay your way; not to trust to the sufferings and doings of Christ alone; His ever FINISHED BLOOD ATONEMENT FOR HUMAN SIN. The lost Romanist believes his priest can do part of the work of salvation for him. The catholic seeks many ways to approach God, except taking the Biblical strait path to Christ Jesus Himself. 

Sin has polluted the very Fountain of your being so deep within: The Mass can never cleanse the polluted fountain of your sinful heart. The Popester profanely worships the virgin mary goddess. The worst of sins is to deceive souls from the pure simple Gospel of Christ. The Pope is the master obfuscater; he deliberately makes the Gospel of Christ unclear, confusing, and difficult to understand, by mixing so many rites and ceremonies and doings. The carnal spurns God's words and Christ's bleeding Love, refuses His free Mercy; this results in a most fearful and eternal DOOM. Never swallow down such an egregious lie as the Eucharist. 

You don't need of the Pope's holy water, what your Soul truly needs is the WATER OF LIFE, and only one Person dips out the WATER OF LIFE to sinners, Christ Jesus Himself. JESUS is Big Dippers of the WATER OF LIFE. If any man who claims to be a priest more than you, you should say, "Away with him, None but JESUS, JESUS is my only Great High Priest!" The Pope attempts to usurp the special office of Christ Jesus Himself; the Popester is in for a very rude awakening. 

The Popester hides under his evil cloak of religion; he is a real Wolf in sheep's clothing. The Pope's cloak is a very flimsy shelter, and he is very fond of his cloak, but he has no cloak for his sins, vanity, and lies. The lost Catholic foolishly looks for a go-between called a priest which cannot do his lost sinful Soul any good whatsoever. Vain are the hopes of the blind Catholic who builds upon his own dead evil works and ceremonial observances. The catholic is greatly deluded in imagining that any so-called priest has any power within him to forgive/absolve your sins or help your dead Soul to God one millimeter. 

Catholicm is a frightful delusion which perverts the Gospel of Christ into another damnable gospel. The catholic does his best to be very precise in his outward religious practices, but he remains utterly destitute of the Grace of God and Faith of Christ inwardly. The catholic loves to take his religion second-hand through a proxy called a priest they call 'father.' The catholic lives an animated death and blindly follows the Popester into thick dense darkness. Lost human nature loves a religion by proxy; a religion which another man does for you. Human nature refuses to seek the One Mediator between God and men, the Lord Jesus Christ Himself. You can never receive by Christ by some proxy; ye must be born again, by personally receiving into your own heart by Faith in His most Precious Blood. 

The Pope will not clear away the rubbish and clutter of religiousness. The Pope will never focus your attention solely on the Bleeding Lamb of God of the Cross of Calvary. Willingly come to Christ Jesus now at His Throne of Grace, or you will be hauled before Christ sitting on His White Throne of Judgment, your choice. Unless Christ's Blood and Righteousness cover your Soul entirely, you will surely face the eternal flames of perdition. The Popester is a slick religionist who is reeking with crooked iniquity, he is a gross fraud, he swindles lost sinners, he is rascal indeed. The Pope tells you that you cannot know for sure where you are going when you die, just take a leap in the dark, and hope you get out of purgatory eventually. Following the Pope's guidance, you will sink into the depths of eternal wrath, you are facing a very frightful peril indeed. 

Roman Catholicism is an old system of superstition and idolatry. The Pope wants you to drink his deadly hemlock from a gilded chalice served to you from the cup of devils and table of fiends. The Pope rides through the streets waving at poor lost souls in his vain pomp. Catholics are simply deluded followers of the Pope's heresies and idolatries. The Pope, the liar and deceiver, the fraud and trickster, gets his filthy lucre by religious deception and dirty tricks. Remember this: there is not the slightest atom of soul-saving power in the Eucharist. The Catholic relies on a refuge of Popish lies. You couldn't find praying to Mary and infant baptism in the Bible if you stayed up all week. The most gorgeous cathedral called Saint Peter's Basilica is a vain, profane place. The Pope will never simplify the Gospel and clarify Faith in JESUS' Precious Blood for you. The Pope perverts the simple pure Gospel of Christ. Poor miserable sinner, do not remain spellbound by the Popester's double tongue. No one but a bewitched madman could ever believe the Pope's tomfoolery. Roman Catholicism is pure ignorance, vile absurdity, and sinful folly.

The Catholic priest speaks his dark enchantments, wicked incantations, and empty homilies on Sunday morning to lost souls. Any mystic reverence to the virgin mary goddess makes you an idolater. The Catholic priest is precisely religious, practicing his rituals to a tee in all its rubrics, forms, and ceremonies and he dares not veer as much as an hair's breadth from any outward performance found in his missal. All of the Pope's rituals are treacherous lies and vanity. The Catholic worldling wraps up his soul up in the filthy rags of vanity and religious sham. The Catholic Mass is a mere Mass of dull, deadly rituals and empty formality; there is no Life of God in the Eucharist whatsoever in the least. Unregenerate human nature loves and cleaves to outward formalities of religious with a death grip. 

Currently, the wrath of God is hanging over your poor lost soul. It is very foolhardy to go out into Eternity without the Savior. You think much of this world's pleasures and toys, but not a moment for the Lamb of God. The LORD JESUS CHRIST is simply an afterthought for you. You are trapped in cage of your Sins, but the Pope reaches through the bars and feeds you his holy wafer, holy wine, and sprinkles you with his holy water; but you remain in the Cage of Sin. Only JESUS Himself can tears the bars way and set your free from Sin's captivity. It is a strange wild madness for you to trust in the Pope's religious nonsense. Roman Catholicism was born of Hell, and it will surely take you to Hell. Never give the virgin mary goddess any superstitious veneration or prayers. Counterfeit religion is filled with different forms of self-righteousness. Human nature refuses to give up all its self-righteousness and rely only on Christ Himself for His free and full Salvation. Penance is only another insidious form of self-righteousness. The Pope wears the uniform of Hell with pride. The virgin mary goddess who the Pope says that she hears your prayers and the pretended miracles of mary is nothing more than an old Romish pagan demon. 

Roman Catholicism is a vain man-made religion born of hell, contrived on earth, born of the will of the flesh. The Pope is the most cunning flatterer covered from head to toe in his gaudy garments of craftiness. The Pope is a deceiving bastard and not a legitimate child of God, born of the Spirit of God from above. The Pope is an old deceiver spreading his egregious falsehoods and damnable errors and heresies, the grandest Impostor, and the very greatest of deceivers that ever existed. The lost Catholics seeks to take superficial religion second-hand from a priest. The Popester sets forth his counterfeit, good-for-nothing religiousness, not real living Faith in JESUS' Himself. Satan, the evil father of all lies, has many devices which he craftily uses to deceive and ruins the souls of men and women; Catholicism is one of Satan's grandest masterpieces of deception. 

The lustful superstition of Muhammad's religion called Islam is filled with wild blasphemy, decapitations, hangings, impalements, and torture. Mecca and the Vatican are the very dens and nests of abominable iniquity and thievery. Religion is nothing but rags and rubbish in God's sight. God hates the Popester, because he is an antichrist, and sets himself up in direct opposition to the Finished Precious Blood Atonement of the Lord Jesus Christ. The Popester is ANATHEMA, because he spreads another false gospel throughout the Earth today. The Pope makes baptism and the Mass part-saviours, and leads you to rest on them for part of your eternal Salvation. The Pope easily dupes human natures with his religious fooleries and delusive notions. 

JESUS is the SAVIOR all by Himself, and He will have no helper, compeer, or assistant, especially the Popester, or You. The Popester dishonors and degrades the glorious Gospel of Christ every time he venerates the virgin mary goddess. It is the Pope's blind ignorance that leads him to think he can help Christ Jesus out. The Popester is the most audacious Fool in God's sight. Your baptism or puny works cannot assist JESUS' PRECIOUS BLOOD. Can drops of water on an infant's brow help save the child's Soul? Can baptismal water help take away your Sins from your immortal Soul? Of course not. No Eucharist is needed at all to save your Sinful Soul from hell. Is not God's own BLOOD that flowed from Emmanuel's veins enough to buy your Eternal Life? If you try to add to or interfere in the Finished Work of the Lamb of God, you will surely damn your Soul to Hell forever. 

The Pope is a degenerate sham who point blind souls to mary for help; he's a real con job. The Popester is a magnificently accoutered WOLF in sheep's clothing. The Pope serves up his deadly Mass from a beautiful table, cover over with white, and exceedingly bright glistening vessels. The priest enters in with his bland smile, his white gilded robe, hissing out smooth deceptive words on his lips from a serpent's tongue, bewitching spells belch out from his throat. The guests of hell's mass will soon be in the depths of perdition. The nations of the Earth have their soul's blighted, minds blinded, hopes blasted, economies withered, vision eclipsed, riches robbed by the cursed infiltration of the Vatican state's hellish agents called priests. The priests wear their costumes called cassocks, and they are educated in deep dark mysteries of psychological propaganda and craftiness, and seeking to lord over men's fearful consciences; they pretend their spells and ceremonies can absolves sins, and open and shut the gates of purgatory. The priest pretends to have the keys of heaven and hell hanging from his cassock. The priest blinds the minds and deceives the Souls with his enthralling superstitions. These evils spies of the Vatican love the praise of men and their sanctimonious hypocrisy; he thinks himself to be extremely righteous; he is a sinful guilty wretch very proud of his religious external morality. The catholic priest strains at vain gnats, but all the while he swallow the camel of Sin, hump, hoof, and all. 

Every sinner without Christ is a defiled mass of Sin existing here on Earth. The catholic has spasms of religious carnal excitement during lent, Easter, Christmas; but the rest of the time Christ's name is used as a cuss word. The Pope says, you have to pay and pay and pay, but you can never know for certain where your Soul will end up out in Eternity. Ye do err not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God unto Salvation. Flee from the Pope for he deludes and damns Soul by the millions. Cast away all of the Popester's superstitions, rites, ceremonies. Let no such delusion destroy your Soul eternally. Trust Christ Himself and His Finished Blood Atonement to freely take away all the Sins from your dead Soul, and personally ask HIM to grant your Soul Eternal Life and Redemption freely. 

HE *IS* RISEN

The Lord Jesus Christ is risen indeed. But now is Christ risen from the dead! Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that Jesus should be holden of it. This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses. And killed the Prince of life, whom God hath raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses.  But God raised Him from the dead!

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to His abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.  Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:  And whosoever liveth and believeth in Me shall never die. Believest thou this?

But the Righteousness which is of Faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:) or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.) But what saith it?

The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of Faith, which we preach; that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that *God hath raised Him from the dead*, thou shalt be saved.  For with the *heart* man believeth unto Righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto Salvation. For the Scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on *Him* shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon *Him*. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.  Therefore disputed Paul in the synagogue with the Jews, and with the devout persons, and in the market daily with them that met with him. Then certain philosophers of the Epicureans, and of the Stoicks, encountered him. And some said, What will this babbler say? other some, He seemeth to be a setter forth of strange gods: because he preached unto them Jesus, and the resurrection.  And they took him, and brought him unto Areopagus, saying, May we know what this new doctrine, whereof thou speakest, is? For thou bringest certain strange things to our ears: we would know therefore what these things mean.  And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked: and others said, We will hear thee again of this matter.  So Paul departed from among them.  Howbeit certain men clave unto him, and believed: among the which was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.

Concerning God's Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;  and declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead.  For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.  For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.  That I may know Jesus, and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being made conformable unto His death.

Unto you first God, having raised up His Son Jesus, sent Him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities. God Himself, the Lord Jesus Christ, rose from the dead on the third day defeating sin, death, and hell for us, so that we could have eternal life in heaven with Him. Hallelujah for the Risen Lamb of God! Muhammed, Buddha, Joseph Smith, the Popes, Mary, and all the rest of man's religious false gods are still dead, but Christ Jesus Himself is risen from the dead, and He is alive for evermore. *Revelation 1:18*

Be it known unto you all, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead. Him God raised up the third day, and shewed Him openly; Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before of God, even to us, who did eat and drink with Him after He rose from the dead. But Jesus, whom God raised again, saw no corruption. Because God hath appointed a day, in the which He will judge the world in righteousness by that Man whom He hath given assurance unto all men, in that God hath raised Jesus from the dead.

Believe on God that raised up Jesus from the dead; Jesus was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification. And God hath both raised up the Lord Jesus, and will also raise up us by His own power. Knowing that God which raised the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus. God the Father raised Jesus from the dead. And to wait from God's Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come. Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead, according to my Gospel.

Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that Great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant. Who by Him do believe in God, that raised Jesus up from the dead, and gave Him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God. But God raised Him from the dead!  He is not here: for He is risen, as He said.

EMMANUEL'S ATONEMENT 19

Self-righteous human nature is completely ignorant of God's Righteousness and blind to Christ's Sinless Atonement, and it goes about to establish it's own righteousness, and refuses to submit itself the RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD. Human nature is most drawn to darkness, and thinks it is making strides and attempts to build its own shelter with a shifty foundation, very poor materials, bad mortar, and at the last, this man-made shelter tumbles down on top of them. Human nature invents all sorts of new ways to help damn itself. Self-righteousness is deeply entrenched in the heart, persevering attempts to make itself better, going to desperate lengths to accomplish its own self-salvation. You have slighted the Gospel and rejected Christ and have grievously sinned against God yet more. Now remember this: there is not an atom of saving power anywhere in the Universe, but in the Precious Blood of Emmanuel, God with us.

Never trust any works, thoughts, or feelings that come out of you. Your own merits are NO GOOD. You have a vain idea and empty notion of your own self-made righteousness and perfectness. Self-righteous religion is a deep, dark ditch, and once a Soul falls into this ditch, only the power of God can pull him out. Human nature insanely strives to save itself by its own merits. The conceit of self-righteousness sticks to human nature like dark spots to a leopard. You have sinned for years and years against God; You're not even aware of most of the Sins you've committed, and you cannot remember all the Sins you've committed thoughtlessly against God all throughout your human existence. Your criminal wrap sheet is endless in God's Sight. 

Human nature says, "I'm a pretty good fellow, and if anyone deserves to be saved, and make it to heaven, that would be me." If you try to add your own efforts to what Christ has FINISHED, you have ruined any chance of SALVATION reaching your guilty Soul. You are ignorant of your Soul's sinful ruin, so you continue to trust partly in your own righteousness, false profession, hypocritical formality, and vain pretense. If you are trusting in yourself at all, your Soul remains in a wretched dangerous state. Human nature refuses to submit to Salvation by Free Grace and be freely given Righteousness and Rest by the Lord Jesus Christ Himself. Has any of your righteousness been wrought out by yourself? If you say Yes, then you're doomed. Has the Absolute Perfection of Christ's RIGHTEOUSNESS been imputed to your Soul by the Power of the Holy Spirit of Christ? Your Soul will only be eternally Safe in the Righteousness of Christ, for His Righteousness is HOLY and without spot or blemish. Do you have a real Sin Problem? Then please don't delay, Call upon JESUS' name Now, and be saved from your deadly, damning Sins.

Christ Jesus, God manifest in the flesh, came into the world to save sinners by shedding His Precious Blood to FINISH the Atonement due to Divine Justice. The Lamb of God died a sinless bloody death for every guilty Soul; HE was numbered with the transgressors on the middle Cross on Calvary between two malefactors. JESUS suffered the Wrath of God in your place. You are Guilty, but JESUS put Himself in your place and bore the consequences of your Guilt. JESUS bore your Sin's full punishment, and endured the Penalty for your crimes against God. Human nature and human religion try to make the Penalty due to SIN lighter than what the Holy Bible states, and tries to pare down the dreadful reality of Eternity to deceive this evil generation that it is pure in its own eyes. You have broken the Holy Law of God, and you're guilty of all the Law, and must pay the Penalty of your disobedience. Ye must be born again from above; nothing on this earth can help you, especially some religiousness. Christ Jesus has already wrought out a Perfect Righteousness in every respect for you. Self-justification is crazy damning nonsense. Fix your Eternal Hope entirely on what JESUS did and FINISHED for sinners.

You have sinned and are guilty, and God must punish your Sins. God Almighty is JUST and HOLY, and must demand the full Penalty of your guilt. Human nature tries to make the Penalty of Sin small, but God's words say that is Everlasting Fire. But JESUS laid down His Life for You as a Sinless Substitute/Sacrifice in your stead. BELIEVE in the real and literal Substitution of Christ who died for Sinners, the JUST for the unjust, that He might bring you to God. Right before JESUS died on the Cross, He cried out, IT IS FINISHED! The Atonement is Finished and Perfected, the Justifying Righteousness needed by you is COMPLETE. Only JESUS' SINLESS BLOOD can atone for a guilty Soul like yours. Rely solely upon the Complete and Satisfying Atonement of Jesus Christ; Rest on the Atonement of Christ with all the weight of your Sinful Soul. Be ye Reconciled to God by the ATONING BLOOD of God manifest in the flesh, The Lord Jesus Christ. 

JESUS says to You today, "You are Sick in Soul, but I can save You. Will you trust ME? You must trust only ME, not anything you can do or have done, or anything you can be, but truly Trust MY PRECIOUS BLOOD to fully take away your Sins, put away your Guilt forever. Verily, Verily, I say unto you, whosoever Believeth on ME hath Everlasting Life. I am that Bread of Life which your hungry Soul needs." 

God cannot be Just, and not exact the full Penalty due to your Sins on someone. But JESUS came into the world to save sinners from the wrath to come. JESUS died as the Substitute for condemned sinners, and bore your Sins in His own body on the Tree. There on the Cross JESUS endured the Wrath of God against your Sins. JESUS was made to be SIN for you; The Father laid on His Son the iniquity of us all; JESUS was made a CURSE for you. The Biblical fact that Christ Jesus, God in human flesh, was actually punished in your place is an Eternal Fact as clear in the Holy Scriptures as noonday. JESUS suffered the Death Penalty your Sins incurred. He bore your Sins' Punishment, and suffered the Wrath due to your vile Crimes. The Divine Law threatens you with Eternal Punishment for your Sins. If your neglect/reject Christ, you'll have to bear the Punishment of your own Sins forever and ever in the Lake of Fire. Believing on JESUS means simply this: Relying only upon His Righteousness, and trusting His Sinless Blood Atonement. 

Lost sinner, come to your senses today, Come directly to JESUS by Faith in HIM, and REST completely ON His Atoning Blood Sacrifice which He offered upon the Cross when HE made THE FULL ATONEMENT FOR SINS. Acknowledge and BELIEVE The Priceless Truth of the ATONEMENT of Christ; Receive Christ now; Trust the Wondrous Gospel of His Substitution and Sacrifice on your behalf. You need to face the all-important matter of your Sins being taken away by Justification/Regeneration from above, or your Soul will perish in the Lake of Fire for all Eternity. Only the Precious Blood of Christ can cleanse and purge your Soul of every stain and speck of Sin. Here's the Gospel Truth that this world hides from you every day you exist here: You can only be fully ACCEPTED and forever RECONCILED to God Himself through Christ Jesus' completed BLOOD ATONEMENT. God can never forgive your Sins without Christ's Precious Atonement. The Holy Spirit must first help you feel the weight of your Sins, and learn to loathe the very thoughts of evil. The Incarnate CREATOR offered up Himself as an ATONEMENT for your Sins. The Grand Central Truth of the Holy Scriptures is the Free Atonement for human sins by the Sinless Precious Blood of the Lamb of God.

BELIEVING is sincere Heart Trust in the Crucified, Buried, Risen, Ascended, Interceding Savior, Who loved you to death on the Cross, and right Now, through Faith in His Sinless Precious Blood, He can graciously take away the Guilt and Punishment of your Sins freely. By the power of the Eternal Spirit, He can rescue you from the dominion and habits of your Sins. JESUS took the whole load of Sin upon Himself, every single sin you've committed in thought, word, or deed - past, present, and to come. BELIEVING on Christ is simply trusting to HIM, trusting in His great ATONEMENT, in which He alone suffered all by Himself in the sinner's place as your Substitute bearing the Wrath your Sins justly deserve. 

JESUS suffered what was due to your transgressions and iniquities. JESUS rendered to Divine Justice the full Payment of the Debt which your innumerable Sins have incurred. JESUS came into this evil world to save your Soul from the JUST consequences of your evil deeds. The Sinless Blood of the Lamb of God completely satisfied the Wrath of God you deserve eternally. JESUS came into this world, because your Soul is dead in trespasses and Sins and dreadfully lost in the darkness of SIN; He came to seek and save the Lost, that's YOU.  Be wise now: Cry to God now for His tender mercy, and while you seek Him, Look to JESUS Who offered up Himself on Calvary's Cross to pay for your Sins. God be Merciful to my sinful lost Soul, for JESUS' SAKE.

*VOTE EARLY*

When you Vote for a political candidate to lead your county, state, or country, that is an important thing. The person who leads your country is vital to your physical well-being, financial prosperity, and national security. There could be numerous candidates on the ballot, but you can only Vote for one candidate, or your vote is null and void. 

Now, the Person you Vote for to save your Soul, and lead you in this life, and out into Eternity safely is the most important thing. There are many candidates on the Eternal ballot today: JESUS, Muhammad, Mary, Buddha, Yourself, Swami, Alexander Campbell, Charles Russell, Ellen G. White, Dalai Lama, Darwin, Joseph Smith, Darwin, and numerous others. 

You must Vote in person, no one else can Vote for you, it's your personal choice, and the stakes are very high. You're walking a dangerous tightrope; Vote before it's too late. You must have personal dealings, one-on-one, with God's Son: JESUS is the One Mediator between God and Lost Sinners. No man cometh unto Father but by JESUS, that is, by Faith in His Precious Blood Atonement. There is only one approved Voting location: THE CROSS. If you neglect to Vote at all and reject Christ, you will surely lose your Soul. God Almighty will count all the Votes at the Judgment to come (Act 17:31). God is no respecter of persons (Romans 2:11). Receive Christ into your heart; reject all others, including yourself. Don't play the fool with your immortal Soul: Put your heart's trust in God's dear Son Who suffered, bled, and died for your Sins on THE CROSS OF CALVARY.

Remember Now, You cannot Vote for two candidates, only ONE. You only get one Vote in the Eternal Election. You can't Vote for JESUS, Mary, and Yourself. You cannot Vote for JESUS and Yourself; God will not accept that kind of Vote. You must Vote for JESUS alone, or you will die in your sins and lose your own Soul for sure. Be Wise Now: Vote for the only Candidate, Who will WIN in the END: CHRIST JESUS, God manifest in the flesh (1 Timothy 3:16) Who hath once suffered for your Sins, the Just for the unjust, that He might bring your Soul to God (1 Peter 3:18). 

JESUS His own self bore your Sins in His own body on tree (1 Peter 2:24), that is, He offered up Himself, and became Sin to reconcile your Soul back to God by His own Blood (2 Cor 5:21; Revelation 1:5). The Lamb of God died for your Sins, and was buried, and HE rose again the third day from the dead victoriously to provide you a Free and Perfect ATONEMENT (Romans 5:11) through His PRECIOUS BLOOD to fully pay for your damnable Sins' death penalty. The Precious Blood Atonement that your guilty Soul needs most has already been FINISHED by the Lamb of God Himself (John 19:30).

Vote Early, 

Vote Wisely,

Vote Today, 

For thou knowest not 

what a day may bring forth.

*PERFECT PEACE*

Thou wilt keep him in Perfect Peace, 

whose mind is stayed on THEE: 

because he trusteth in THEE. 

Now THE Lord of Peace Himself

give you Peace always 

by all means.

This present evil world 

and its worldlings want a peace, 

but not "THE PEACE" that comes 

only from The Lord Jesus Christ alone.

PEACE through

The BLOOD OF HIS CROSS.

Dost thou Believe on 

the Son of God?
