Wrong idea or wrong god?
Musterseed:
From the LOF pt.x
Hardly a person alive will admit to being deceived by Satan, and yet God tells us
that Satan deceives THE WHOLE WORLD. The whole world. Isn’t that just about everybody?
Rev. 12:9.. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the devil and
Satan ( Heb. adversary) which deceives the WHOLE WORLD. And he was cast out into
the EARTH and his angels cast out with him."…………..
1 John 2:15-16…..Love not the world , neither the things that are in the world.
If any man love the world the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world
, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life is not of the Father, but is of the world.
What is more worldly than Babylon?
John 12:43… for they loved the glory that comes from man more than the glory that comes from God.
Php.1:15….Some indeed preach Christ from envy and rivalry, but others from good will.
Php.1:16…The latter do it out of love, knowing that I am put here for the defence of the gospel.
Php..1:17…The former proclaim Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, but thinking to
afflict me in my imprisonment.
Jas. 3:14…But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast
and be false to the truth.
From the myth of free Will.
Rom.8:20… For the creature ( Gk. Creation) was made( put under , subordinate to, to obey)
subject to vanity ( Gk. futility) not willingly, but by reason of Him who has subjected the same in hope.
Isn’t Gods plan wonderful. He is changing humanity from what we are into what He is. And yes Ibob
I also am so excited and Octoberose I too pray for mercy every day and I know our God is merciful.
Praise His holy name.
VS 21….. b ecause the creature ( Gk. Creation) itself also shall be delivered from
THE BONDAGE OF CORRUPTION into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
1: Co. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
I wrote down this quote from a post. I think it was from Arc.
“ when God finally unveils His work to them , the shout of joy will not be a weak , dubious,
doubtfully attended voice of praise but a BURST OF JOY Equivalent to Adams AT LAST. 😃
John 5:25…. Verily, verily , I say unto you. The hour is coming , and now is , when
the dead shall hear the voice of the Son Of God and they that hear shall live.
And eventually ALL WILL HEAR, HALLELUJAH.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
In Christ, Pamela

Heard it said somewhere that- “you are what you do”. It’s not your name that defines you. It’s not your face or your body that defines you. It’s your works. That’s all you are is your works.
If “what you do” or in this case “what God does/is doing” is what defines who God is, then a god that fails and not only fails but tortures most of humanity in eternal hell for no redeeming purpose whatsoever - is not the same as a perfect God that saves all.
If in fact it is the name “Christ” that defines God then why would He say “I never knew you” to the many who say to Him “Lord, Lord..” and “in your name didn’t we..”?

Thankyou Dennis and Larelli.
It’s a timely video and message right now. It’s so easy to get caught up in all the
bad news . I was feeling a little defeated today because of an incident with a family
member , but this post and video is most helpful in the study of good works.
God’s timing is always perfect.
Eph. 2:10… For we are His workmanship ( achievement) created in Christ Jesus
for good works which God prepared beforehand , that we should walk in them.
Exo.19:5…. if you will indeed obey my voice and keep my covenant, you shall
be my treasured possession among all peoples, for all the earth is mine.
In Christ, Pamela
