If Jesus really forgave all Sin's of men starting while he hung upon the cross.....wouldn't that be the end of The Story of Man right then....if the moral of the story is disobedience to God....and all that was forgiven over 2,000 years ago....why are you still here?

They tell their preachers it is ok to speak in the name of Jesus....
They speak in the name of Jesus to forgive all Sin.....
They tell Christians all their Sin's were already forgiven, prior to Jesus coming again....
They tell (or imply) that Christians will spend an eternity in Heaven.....
They tell Christians that their Churches "view" taking bits and pieces of the Bible....is the only "truth" there is to God.....
They do not discuss Sin or consequences for Sin....because according to them all Sin is simply forgiven....
And they do not discuss End Times....and what it means to "endure"....already settled into their own self-righteousness.....
Those who have spoken in the name of Jesus will be denied.....they were warned of that in the Bible....
Does God love us....within mankind all of the Spirits of God's Children do reside, and if Father did not love us, none of us would be here.....none of us would have been given a second chance to redeem ourselves and find Salvation.....
Does God forgive....before the War, God was forgiving and indulgent with all His Children....after so many living things were destroyed by us (His Children), that did change.....part of the Story of Man is to earn God's forgiveness for what was done....to serve penance

God did Command that I Hold....and I did hear Him Speak that single word right after my sour note sounded....and I know for certain Father was prepared for me to cause a disaster of Biblical proportions as I awoke....I could sense the "Spirit's" of all the other Children near me, and I knew for certain all those people would have coming running and pounced on me if I had opened my mouth and Spoke a single Word of Power....and none of those men or women would have understood why they suddenly felt the need to hold me down and cover my mouth....
Generally no one else would accept that as being "reality"....but I was there, and I know all that Father has revealed to me.....and it all pertains to all that is going on right now.....the earth is cooking, there is war and rumors of war....and so much more
I would never claim to be "The One" that Christians are seeking...and I am certainly no Herald.......I am an Angel of the Lord; and my Lord and Father doth Command that I Hold
There are many ArcAngel's standing in their own humanity on this earth right now......but if the "bad guys" believe that is true in any way, that could effect the decisions they make....and I for one want them to hurry up
In my service to God, discipling men for the past thirty years, it has been my observation that the men I've discipled who were the most critical of the Church and most eager both to abandon it and openly deride it were those men who were projecting their frustration with their own spiritual defeat and compromise onto the Church, seeing in it reflections of their own less than holy condition. If they couldn't rid themselves of their own sin, they could at least censure those in whom they saw the same sin (venting a bit of their frustration and shame with themselves at the same time).
If the World is a powder-keg, it is so because humans in general are sinful, rebellious creatures, not because some political figure has gained a powerful office.
Do you actually know what the responsibilities are of Elders/Pastors/Bishops/Shepherds? God has set upon them very specific mandates and authority to use in edification of the Church. They are to teach sound doctrine, defend the Church from "leaven" and false teachers, pray, and enact discipline upon those in the Church who willfully, and openly, and persistently engage in sin, and also settle disputes among those under their spiritual charge (1 Timothy 3:1-7; 1 Timothy 5:17; Acts 20:28-32; 1 Corinthians 5; Acts 15:1-34; James 5:14; 1 Pete 5:1-4).
Elders aren't supposed to be doing the work of the deacons, nor are they to be custodians of the church building, changing lightbulbs and mowing the grass around the building. By the monetary support of a local church, they are given opportunity to study God's word all day, every day, learning to live in the truths contained in the pages of their Bible, experiencing God in ever-increasing fullness and out of all of this spiritually "feeding" the "flock of God" over which they have spiritual authority in sermons, weekend seminars, Bible studies and private counselling. Elders are frontline protectors of the local communities of believers, leading those communities into ever-deeper experience of God, guarding them against influences that would corrupt the community spiritually, or diminish or hinder such an experience of God.
Are you doing all you can to support these men in the work they're doing for God within the Church? Are you submitting yourself daily to the control of the Holy Spirit so that you, too, may be used of God to the edification of the Church? Or are you just interested in throwing stones at it?
Jesus told those who believe, in My name they will cast out devils…
And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons;… Mark 16:17
That is a misnomer.
Jesus died so men's sins could be remitted.
But for that remittance, some things are required of us.
We must repent of-turn from sin, and be water baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of past sins.
Then, still, we must endure faithfully until the end.
I am here to bring glory to God, amidst a perverse and evil populace.
Jesus died to free men from the power of the flesh, so we could walk in the Spirit. (among other things)
For those who reject God and His Son, a lake of fire awaits their arrival.
Where, or from whom, did you learn that all men's sins were forgiven on the day of Jesus' crucifixion ?
What scriptural evidence can you offer ?
People can do what they want....believe what they want....and make whatever choice they want; because the choice will be given
I am certain not all of these Churches are "bad"......but they are Teaching things that are False....and there are consequences they will face for it....it is really that simple
Churches, preachers and Christians who follow those False Teachings.....may never find God's Light again.....do not fill yourself with self-righteousness and hold yourself above God.....God might just explain that Bible some time, and there are true Teachers Blessed by God who stand among the Little Flock.....if you are patient, and pay attention to what you hear....follow the instructions that are given, and I might just see you on the other side.
Thank you for the quote....it would be great if there really was such a thing as "demons". The only evil walking this earth....is the evil that lies within the hearts of men.....men (or women) who make the choice to do evil things everyday....that is it
The Story of Man belongs to God....and there are no "evil beings"....except men, whose "Spirit" or "soul" does guide them in doing evil....and it is those "Spirits" the Angel of Wrath has come for
Sorry....that was a general assumption based on conversations with Churches, Christians and even professors of Theology....I have tried to speak with many people over the past 4 years....and when the issue of Sin has come up, I generally get the answer that all of "their" Sin has already been forgiven....
When Father "rings the bell" on this....all you have to do is listen to what is said, and follow the instructions that will be given.....Christians will find this hard, because what will be said is not what was written in that Bible....and the preachers will start screaming that must be Satan trying to fool the people....which is rubbish.....Satan has no control or influence over anyone....
As I just said....the Story of Man belongs to God.....
"When Father "rings the bell" on this....all you have to do is listen to what is said, and follow the instructions that will be given....Christians will find this hard, because what will be said is not what was written in that Bible...."
WHAT?? The Holy Bible is the word of God. God cannot contradict himself by saying something to someone that is against His word aka The Holy Bible. What you said is plain heresy.

Thank you....for joining my delusion.....and anyone who wants to tell God what He must do or not do....please fell free
The Bible does hold Truth of God's Word......but the "interpretations" of His Word.....and changes made by greedy men over the centuries have now led mankind on a path that will take them further away from the Path of Salvation.....away from Father's Light....
The Story of Man....the morale of the story is disobedience to God......so when God jumps up and starts to Command, will you Obey Him....or follow the path some greedy mortal man laid out before you written into a Book......Follow God, or follow other men; it will be a simple choice.....
Which interpretations are wrong and far from God's word? How do you know the original word of God (before the interpretations)?
What is the path of salvation?
What do you mean by that: so when God jumps up and starts to Command, will you Obey Him....or follow the path some greedy mortal man laid out before you written into a Book......

Now in the synagogue there was a man who had a spirit of an unclean demon. And he cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Let us alone! What have we to do with You, Jesus of Nazareth? Did You come to destroy us? I know who You are—the Holy One of God!” But Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be quiet, and come out of him!” And when the demon had thrown him in their midst, it came out of him and did not hurt him. Luke 4:33-35
Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria and preached Christ to them. And the multitudes with one accord heeded the things spoken by Philip, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. For unclean spirits, crying with a loud voice, came out of many who were possessed; and many who were paralyzed and lame were healed. Acts 8:5-7
how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him. Acts 10:38
In North America, I believe the Church is now crowded with "false brethren," folks who believe themselves to be Christians who are no such thing. We can thank men like Rick Warren, Bill Hybels, Mike Bickles, Andy Stanley, Steven Furtick, Joel Osteen, etc, and all the local church leaders who have followed their teachings, for this current condition of the Church. If things continue as they are, if the Church in North America continues to fill up with "seekers" and perennially carnal and immature believers, the True Church will soon have to separate from this deeply corrupt spiritual counterfeit of the Church and perhaps return to smaller, house-church communities.
Yes, this is the terrible weight of the small, insignificant choices - for good or ill - that we make that accumulate momentum over time such that, at some point, we can't any longer change course. This is the story of every addict. We can grow hardened into sin, deafened and blinded to Truth, seared in our conscience, the Holy Spirit "quenched," becoming a spiritual Loadicean oblivious to being "wretched, miserable, poor, blind and naked." (Revelation 3:14-20; Hebrews 3:13; 1 Timothy 4:2; 1 Thessalonians 5:19; John 8:43-44)
This is good advice for us all. You included.
And what is a "true teacher" in your view? Is it what God says such a man is?
Again, are you a man (or woman) who is seeking to edify the Church that God loves? Are you allowing God to work through you to encourage, exhort and protect the Body of Believers?
Sin is forgiven by God when man chooses to turn from it, and get washed by the blood of Christ during their lives.
The ways and means of forgiveness have been available to men since Jesus was crucified and resurrected.
Perhaps that is what your citings offered ?
The bell has already rung, and our instructions were given by Jesus and His apostles over 2000 years ago.
Whoever you have learned your doctrine from is just trying to delay your actual repentance from sin and baptism, which will result in your resurrection to eternal destruction.
You are presenting a devil's ideas.
Without any scripture to back your ideas, the ideas fade like clouds on a hot day.
Through Jesus.....and only him.....these Churches are teaching things they do not understand....and what they are teaching has nothing to do with salvation....
Before I answer this.....my great-grandma thought she was in charge, in doing so I believe she tried to hold herself above God when she tried to trick me back in 1970....she thought because my physical body was only 2 years old, she could do what she wanted....and I have reason to believe she is still regretting that decision (even though her physical self has passed)
A true teacher is a man or woman Blessed by God to Teach His Word....which is His Law....anything in the NT that is contrary to God's Law, those 10 Commandments....is absolute nonsense....Jesus would have never contradicted his Father, God....and forgiveness of Sin is never going to "simply happen"....especially because some man (or woman) stood before a Church and said so...
But I would suggest no one abandon their Church.....I would suggest you start a conversation with your preacher.....simply ask questions, and you might just save the soul of a man (or woman) from making a really bad choice when this begins....
