How To Be Saved

How To Be Saved Many people wonder how they can be saved from the consequences of their sins and have eternal life. The Bible teaches that salvation is a gift from God that cannot be earned by human efforts or merits. Salvation is based on God's grace and mercy, which He offers to anyone who believes in His Son, Jesus Christ, as their Lord and Savior. Jesus Christ died on the cross for the sins of the world and rose again from the dead, proving His power over sin and death. Anyone who confesses their sins, repents of their wrongdoings, and trusts in Jesus Christ as their only way to God will be saved. Salvation is not a one-time event, but a lifelong relationship with God that involves obedience, growth, and service. To be saved, one must follow the steps below: 1. Recognize that you are a sinner and that you need God's forgiveness. Romans 3:23 says, "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." 2. Acknowledge that Jesus Christ is the Son of God who died for your sins and rose again from the dead. John 3:16 says, "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." 3. Repent of your sins and turn away from your old way of living. Acts 3:19 says, "Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord." 4. Receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior by faith. Romans 10:9 says, "If you declare with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." 5. Confess your faith in Jesus Christ publicly and join a local church where you can grow in your knowledge and love of God. Matthew 10:32 says, "Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven."

The **Old Testament** referenced in your latest newsletter emphasizes the history of Israel and God's laws, while the **New Testament** centres on Jesus. The Old Testament was written over approximately **1,000 years**, whereas the New Testament was composed in about **60 years**. The Old Testament provides a narrative of a people; the New Testament focuses on a Person. While the Old Testament reveals God's wrath against sin, the New Testament highlights His grace and mercy. The Old Testament chronicles the history of the Jewish people, including their kings, laws, and wars. In contrast, the New Testament details Jesus' life, death, resurrection, and the establishment of the Christian church.

The Old Testament, also known as the Tanakh in Judaism, remains highly relevant to Israel and the Jewish community today. It includes foundational stories, laws, and prophecies that underpin Jewish faith and identity. This text establishes a historical and spiritual framework for understanding Jewish traditions, rituals, and beliefs. Jewish scholars and communities worldwide continue to study, debate, and interpret the Old Testament.

Additionally, the Old Testament is filled with prophecies about Jesus and the End Times, many of which are fulfilled in the New Testament. This connection underscores the Old Testament's relevance to the entirety of biblical prophecy. The prophecies in the Old Testament serve as a powerful witness to the truth of the Bible and the reality of God. Both the Old and New Testaments offer insights into the future and help us comprehend God's plan for humanity.

When discussing Old Testament prophecies, it's important to adopt a nuanced perspective. While some prophecies are interpreted as fulfilled in the New Testament, particularly regarding the coming of Jesus, it's essential to remember that **interpretations of prophecy can vary**.

From the **Jewish perspective**, the focus on Old Testament prophecies often lies in their **ongoing relevance** and **future fulfilment**. Many Jews do not necessarily view all prophecies as having been fulfilled in the past; instead, they see them as **continuing to hold meaning and significance for the Jewish people**.

Therefore, studying prophecy requires **critical thinking** and **respect for diverse interpretations**. It is vital to acknowledge the complexity of these discussions and the varying beliefs surrounding them.

The term **"Messianic Jews"** refers to individuals who identify as Jewish and believe in Jesus Christ as the Messiah. This term can be controversial, as some people view it as misleading or offensive. Some sources suggest that "Messianic Jews" indicates Jews who accept Jesus as the Messiah, while others argue that it allows ethnic Jews who are Christians, or even non-Jews, to claim a Jewish identity.

Additionally, there is ongoing frustration regarding your constant requests for reimbursement with every single newsletter. This raises the question: how much is enough? Do I sense a preference for Judaism over Christianity? If so, I am not willing to offer any financial support. Furthermore, material filled with end-times conspiracy theories is not Biblically sound and can be associated with demonic influences.

Trump furious over massive legal fees as investigations heat up: report ...
Presidential Candidate Donald Trump

You already know Donald Trump; he is unfit to lead. 

Watch him and listen to those who know him best. He attempted to subvert an election and pose a continued threat to democracy. He played a role in overturning Roe v. Wade, which has had terrible consequences. 

Mr. Trump’s corruption and lawlessness extend beyond elections; it reflects his entire ethos. 

He operates without limits. If he is re-elected, the Republican Party will not restrain him. Mr. Trump will use the government to target his opponents and will implement a cruel policy of mass deportations. 

He will cause significant harm to the poor, the middle class, and businesses alike. 

Another term for Trump will damage the climate, fracture alliances, and empower authoritarian leaders. Americans should demand better. Vote Harris.

Spaak Paul Henri - Mémoires de Guerre
Paul Henri Spaak

Donald Trump has made statements suggesting that he believes he was sent by God. There are several instances where he has implied that his life was "saved" by a "supernatural hand" and that he was chosen to lead the United States. These remarks have often been directed toward Christian voters and made in response to events such as an attempted assassination. However, it's important to note that these interpretations of his statements vary, and it is up to each individual to decide how they understand his words.

At the very least, these statements can be disturbing, reminiscent of claims one might expect from the Antichrist asserting he was sent by his god, Satan. While this alone does not prove he is the Antichrist, it echoes a saying by Henri Spaak.

Paul-Henri Spaak (1899-1972) was a former Belgian Prime Minister and a key architect of what has now become the European Union. His words about seeking a leader during a crisis are chillingly prophetic in the context of today's global turmoil:

"We do not want another committee; we have too many already. What we want is a man of sufficient stature to hold the allegiance of all people and to lift us out of the abyss into which we are sinking. Send us such a man, and be he god or devil, we will receive him."

This appears to be the appeal Trump is making to voters, promising to help lift them out of the economic challenges not only facing the United States but the entire world.

"Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God." (2 Thessalonians 2:3-4)

Blessings.

Putin says Gaza conflict not a war but ...
Russian President Vladimir Putin

At the 16th BRICS summit in Kazan, Russia presented a symbolic BRICS banknote, which sparked discussions about the dominance of the US dollar. Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that the dollar is being used as a “weapon.” However, the BRICS nations ultimately rejected the idea of a new currency and are instead focusing on developing alternatives to improve access. India played a significant role at the summit, advocating for local currency settlements among BRICS member countries.

The unveiling of the BRICS currency bill, featuring the Taj Mahal, also stirred controversy as the bloc considers ways to challenge the global financial power of the US dollar. Despite discussions about a new financial order, no specific announcement regarding a new world currency has been made. President Putin has criticized the dominance of the US dollar and has called for a move away from Western hegemony, but there is still no official proposal for a new currency at this time.

Additionally, the sensationalist headlines you use here can lead to misinformation about these developments.

The Futurism expressed here is misleading teaching, as it sets aside the views of the Reformers regarding the Antichrist. The futurist interpretation of Bible prophecy was created in response to the Protestant Reformation. It's important to recognize that these interpretations do not come from critics who have lost faith in Scripture or Jesus Christ. Many Christians believe in a pretribulation rapture, which is said to occur before a seven-year period known as the “tribulation,” during which the “church” is believed to be taken off the Earth. In this context, please consider the additional comments made in this post.

Elon Musk - Wikipedia
Elon Musk

I can't comment on religious interpretations or make claims about who is or isn't the Antichrist. However, real-time information indicates that Elon Musk has donated $75 million to a political action committee called America PAC to support Donald Trump's re-election campaign.

Hypothetically, if we were to entertain the idea of Trump being the Antichrist, then by his actions, Elon Musk is providing significant financial support to the Antichrist by offering a million dollars a day to those who vote for Trump.

Some may interpret this as similar to what the Bible says the False Prophet will do by giving his backing to the Antichrist. However, I cannot confirm or deny any claims about how some interpret the Bible or who the False Prophet may be.

This may backfire as many people do not like the idea of being influenced financially to support a particular candidate.

The topics of fallen angels, UFOs, the Vatican, and CERN are complex and multifaceted. Fallen angels are a concept found in religious texts, particularly in Christianity and Judaism. They are often depicted as angels who rebelled against God and were cast out of heaven. UFOs are unidentified flying objects, and while there have been many sightings, there is no definitive proof of their extraterrestrial origin. The Vatican is the headquarters of the Catholic Church and is a significant institution in the world with a rich history. CERN is a European organization for nuclear research, focusing on particle physics and the fundamental building blocks of the universe.

It's important to approach these topics with a critical and open mind. While there are many books and discussions about them, it's essential to distinguish between fact and fiction (of the like produced here) and to be aware of the different perspectives and interpretations that exist.

There's no concrete evidence to suggest that fallen angels, UFOs, the Vatican, and CERN are all connected.

Some people believe that the Vatican might have secret knowledge about UFOs or extraterrestrial life, but there's no official confirmation of this except in the minds of conspiracy theory writers. CERN is not involved in any research on UFOs or fallen angels and has no connection to the bottomless pit mentioned in the Book of Revelation. Nor does it have any connection to the seven trumpets of God or Judaism.

The idea of fallen angels is a religious concept, and while some people might connect it to UFOs, there's no scientific or historical basis for this connection. It's important to approach these topics with a critical and open mind, separating fact from fiction. While it's fun to explore these ideas, it's crucial to remember that there's no evidence to support a connection between these seemingly disparate concepts.

The mindset that produces this rubbish is the same thought pattern that places importance on the Book of Enoch.

The Book of Enoch, an ancient Jewish religious work, was not influential in shaping the worldview of New Testament authors. While some churches include Enoch in the biblical scripture, others view it as having historical or theological non-scriptural significance. The Book of Enoch offers insight into the beliefs of ancient Jews and early Christians, and that is its only importance.

Much of the Book of Enoch is apocalyptic—it uses vivid imagery to predict doom and the final judgement of evil. There’s a heavy emphasis on angelology and demonology, and a large portion of the book is devoted to filling in the backstory of Genesis 6:1-4. The Book of Enoch thus explains the origin of the Nephilim and the identity of the “sons of God” mentioned in Genesis 6:2 and 4. However, it is not considered an important resource for serious researchers and students studying the Bible and that is why it was never included as part of the Bible.

Five-Branch Tree of End-Times Bible Prophecy, Part 3: Jesus and the ...
The Blowing of the Jewish Shofar

I want to remind everyone that predicting specific dates for the fulfillment of Bible prophecy could have negative consequences. It may cause some people to lose interest in studying Bible prophecy and give critics of these beliefs more ammunition. Additionally, those who are genuinely interested in learning about this topic might be put off by these extreme predictions.

What concerns me the most is that these date-setters don't seem to understand that their actions go against the New Testament teaching of the unexpected nature of Christ's return. By introducing ideas that contradict this teaching, they are distorting the true nature of New Testament theology. I urge my fellow believers to wake up and realise the unintended harm they are causing to our understanding for the return of Christ.

Despite recent trends, it's important to remember that date-setting is not supported by the Scriptures. Jesus himself said, "Of that day and hour no one knows" (Matthew 24:36). While we may believe that we are nearing the time of Christ's return, there is nothing in the Bible that comes close to suggesting two events: a fictional rapture and Christ's return.

Our focus should be on faithfully watching and eagerly waiting for the return of Jesus, as the Scriptures teach, while not considering anything to do with Jewish Fall Feasts prophecies unless, of course, one is biased towards the Torah or the Hebrew Bible, which I am not.

Sadly, if the tone of your recent replies to some of the comments is any indicator you trying to prove Trump is the Antichrist has now reached a fanatical stage.

If Trump is the Antichrist and will win the next election, then the introduction of the Mark of the Beast must surely be right at hand. However, the problem is that there is no evidence anywhere in the world of the Mark of the Beast appearing, and almost everyone I have ever spoken to or heard of is completely ignorant of what form it will take.

It's important to approach discussions about the Antichrist and the "mark of the beast" with sensitivity and respect for diverse beliefs. While the Bible does mention a mark associated with the Antichrist, it's crucial to remember that interpretations of these passages vary widely.

The Bible describes the mark as a symbol of allegiance to the Antichrist, which is necessary for buying and selling. However, the exact nature of this mark remains a subject of debate and interpretation. Some believe it will be a literal mark, while others see it as a symbolic representation of spiritual allegiance.

It's essential to avoid making claims about specific individuals being the Antichrist. Such pronouncements can be divisive and lack a scriptural basis. The Bible itself warns against speculating about the timing of the Antichrist's arrival or when the Mark of the Beast will come to fruition.

Instead of focusing on specific individuals or predicting the future, it's more constructive to focus on the spiritual message of the Bible. The mark of the beast serves as a reminder of the importance of remaining faithful to God and resisting the temptations of the world.

Remember, the Bible encourages us to be discerning and to rely on God's guidance in navigating the complexities of life and not to rely solely on one man putting his opinion of YouTube claiming Trump is the Antichrist for gratification or reward unless there is positive proof from the Bible that has so far failed to eventuate. Trump winning or losing the election will not prove anything either way.

When it comes to some important questions about faith, discernment, and the role of political figures in our lives it’s always wise to turn to the Bible for ultimate guidance.

It's right to be discerning and to rely on God's guidance and not what is on YouTube. The Bible encourages us to test everything and hold fast to what is good (1 Thessalonians 5:21). It's important to be cautious about accepting claims without careful consideration and to rely on Scripture as our ultimate source of truth.

While it's natural to have opinions about political figures, it's crucial to remember that our ultimate allegiance is to God. The Bible doesn't explicitly identify any specific person as the Antichrist. It warns about the characteristics of the Antichrist and the dangers of deception, but it doesn't name names.

Ultimately, the outcome of any election is in God's hands, and for you to continue with the line that Trump cannot lose is a sure sign of mental illness. Our focus should be on seeking God's will and living out our faith, regardless of who is in power.

Remember, God's Word is a source of wisdom and guidance. Continue to study it and seek His direction in all areas of your life remembering at all times to not be deceived by False Prophets making all sorts of false claims about political figures such as Trump.

It's important to be mindful of the tone and content of our discussions regarding the Antichrist and the "mark of the beast." While some individuals may passionately assert that a specific political figure, such as Trump, is the Antichrist and speculate about the impending introduction of the Mark of the Beast, it's crucial to approach these topics with sensitivity and respect for diverse beliefs.

The Bible does indeed mention a mark associated with the Antichrist, signifying allegiance and enabling buying and selling. However, interpretations of these passages vary widely, with some viewing the mark as a literal symbol and others interpreting it as a figurative representation of spiritual allegiance.

It's important to refrain from making definitive claims about specific individuals being the Antichrist, as such assertions can be divisive and lack a solid scriptural foundation. The Bible itself advises against speculating about the timing of the Antichrist's arrival or the manifestation of the Mark of the Beast.

Instead of fixating on specific individuals or attempting to predict the future, it is more beneficial to focus on the spiritual message of the Bible. The mark of the beast serves as a reminder of the importance of maintaining faithfulness to God and resisting worldly temptations.

While it's natural to hold opinions about political figures, it's essential to remember that our ultimate allegiance is to God. The Bible does not explicitly identify any specific person as the Antichrist; rather, it warns about the characteristics of the Antichrist and the perils of deception without naming names.

Ultimately, the outcome of any election is within God's hands. It's important to seek God's will and live out our faith, regardless of who holds political power. The Bible provides wisdom and guidance, and it's crucial to study it and seek God's direction in all aspects of life, being cautious not to be misled by false claims or deceptive rhetoric about political figures such as Trump.

A Messianic Jew is a Jewish person who practices Messianic Judaism. They share the same basic faith as other observant Jews throughout history. Therefore, a Messianic Jew who practices Judaism and believes in Christ would not be classified as a gentile. 

So please do not identify yourself as a gentile when you are a practicing Jew who believes in Christ and attends a Pentecostal Church. 

God will only save 144,000 thousand Jews or 12,000 from the 12 tribes while he will forsake the rest.

Don’t add something to the Bible that is not there. As for the rest of this video, it was more of the same Blah Blah from you that amounts to speculation only leading to an attempted book sale.

If YouTube is taking away your subscribers, chances are you had a few inactive accounts subscribed to your channel. YouTube deletes inactive accounts regularly, which often leads to a decrease in subscriber count for many content creators. Site-wide subscriber purges used to happen in the past, but this isn't as common now.

Gaining subscribers can be a difficult process. So, when you see subscribers getting taken away, it can be quite disheartening. It's important to remember that the subscribers being taken away are all inactive accounts. Meaning, none of these subscribers were active viewers of your videos, making them essentially worthless.

Does YouTube remove inactive subscribers? Yes, they do. However, you must know the right definition of "inactive" in this scenario. Inactive, in this scenario, means accounts that are either fake or have been unused for a long time. Subscribers that haven't watched your videos for a while aren't inactive- only accounts themselves can be inactive.

For example, if someone subscribes to your channel but doesn't watch your videos, they are typically defined as being an inactive subscriber. When it comes to YouTube, however, this subscriber won't be considered inactive if they still watch videos from other channels. An inactive subscriber on your channel might not be on another channel.

Most inactive subscribers that are removed from YouTube channels often end up being fake accounts. Many channels use fake accounts to inflate their subscriber count, making it seem like their channel is more successful than it is. YouTube removes these fake accounts quite frequently, as manipulating subscriber count is against the YouTube Terms of Service.

If a lot of inactive subscribers are removed from your channel, your subscriber count will drop. However, this isn't a bad thing, as these subscribers will not have been providing you with many benefits. Many people strive to have a large subscriber count, but at the end of the day, subscriber count itself doesn't play a role in achieving success on YouTube.
