Sins of the world

Anything that a person does wrong (in his/her words, thoughts, actions/deeds, behavior, attitude) in G-Ds sight. The Bible teaches us, there are many things that are displeasing to G-D Almighty, and therefore, G-D forbids mankind to do or participate in such activities, so as not sin against Him and other people, but to conform to G-Ds laws, always.

Many are the sins committed by man; a few of them are described below. There are many ways people sin against G-D Almighty. Wherever a sin is committed by a person, it is equivalent to committing a crime in G-Ds sight. Some crimes are small, some crimes are big, but all of them still matter to G-D, because it is a wrong a person(s) have done in G-Ds sight (with or without other witnesses to testify against them). And every sin on earth, committed by every person on earth, will be accounted for, according to G-Ds laws, usually in their lifetime, but definitely in their afterlife.

No one can say, they have never sinned in G-Ds sight. That is a lie. Only G-D does not sin, the Bible teaches (SEE Hebrews 6:18; Matthew 5:48). JESUS is the only man born on earth, to live and die and never sin against G-D His FATHER, all His days. JESUS was considered perfect and H-LY in G-Ds sight. Therefore, G-D raised JESUS from the dead after three days, showing mankind, that death cannot stop JESUS from living. Therefore, the Bible teaches: JESUS is G-D.

Psalms 53: 1-3 says:

The fool has said in his heart,
“There is no God.”
They are corrupt, and have done abominable iniquity;
There is none who does good.

God looks down from heaven upon the children of men,
To see if there are any who understand, who seek God.
Every one of them has turned aside;
They have together become corrupt;
There is none who does good,
No, not one.

Romans 3: 10-18 says:

As it is written:

“There is none righteous, no, not one;
There is none who understands;
There is none who seeks after God.
They have all turned aside;
They have together become unprofitable;
There is none who does good, no, not one.”
“Their throat is an open tomb;
With their tongues they have practiced deceit”;
“The poison of asps (vipers) is under their lips”;
“Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.”
“Their feet are swift to shed blood;
Destruction and misery are in their ways;
And the way of peace they have not known.”
“There is no fear of God before their eyes.”

Whenever a crime is committed, a person sin’s against G-D first. If the sin is sexual in nature, then the sin is also committed against themselves (their own body). If the crime committed is not a sexual sin, then that person has sinned against their neighbor(s) – their friend, their spouse, their relative, their child(ren)/parent(s), or even a stranger. Some crimes are considered as sins against the society/community they live in. There are also sins committed that are against nature (the natural environment – against animals, and the earth we live on) which is also displeasing to G-D MOST HIGH.

Deuteronomy 6: 1-7 says:

“Now this is the commandment, and these are the statutes and judgments which the Lord your God has commanded to teach you, that you may observe them in the land which you …. possess, that you may fear the Lord your God, to keep all His statutes and His commandments which I command you, you and your son and your grandson, all the days of your life, and that your days may be prolonged. Therefore hear, O Israel (O man), and be careful to observe it, that it may be well with you,….

“Hear, O Israel (O man): The Lord our God, the Lord is one! You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.

“And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up.

Listed here are some of the sins that are forbidden for man to live (participate) in, as taught in the Bible:

• Being unloving:
  • Not loving G-D with all your heart, soul, strength and mind first and above all things in life, every day, every moment of your life. Then, not showing love to others – not loving others as much as you love yourself.
• Being selfish:
  • Only thinking about your own needs, always, and not caring about the needs of others, ever.
• Selfish ambition:
  • Caring only about your own goals in life and pursing them without G-D’s will, counsel and permission.
  • Seeking only your own happiness while hurting others knowingly or unknowingly.
• Greed:
  • Loving money (wealth, riches, possessions) more than loving G-D.
  • Loving money more than loving your neighbor.
  • Desiring more and more money for yourself and your family, and living a life to only earn money, incessantly.
• Lust:
  • Wanting/desiring to see another man/woman naked in your mind and imagining/desiring to have sex with them, watching pornography.
• Fornication:
  • Sex outside of marriage (before marriage) – for unmarried, divorced, or widowed people
• Adultery:
  • Sex outside of marriage for those who are already married, sleeping with another man or woman when married to your spouse, or after being divorced.
  • Divorcing a spouse for any other reason than unfaithfulness (marital infidelity) by a spouse is breaking the marriage vow (covenant/promise) established by G-D in Holy matrimony. Therefore, it is sin – because G-D hates divorce, the Bible teaches.
  • A person cannot sleep around with other people after their divorce. It is considered as sin in G-Ds sight. A person can only get remarried if their previous marriage ended in divorce, because of marital infidelity. Or because of the death of their spouse; not for any other reason, the Bible teaches.
• Murder:
  • Killing another person because of hate, anger, rage, bitterness. The killing of an unborn child in the mother’s womb is also murder. That’s why the Bible teaches, not to have an abortion, except only in cases of incest.
  • G-D knows every person on earth even before we were born, in our mother’s womb. And G-D knows us till our last breath on earth, the Bible says. Life starts with a heartbeat and stops when a heart stops beating. Therefore, do not resuscitate, nor put someone on a ventilator, if they go into a coma/permanent vegetative state.
    • Do not prolong a person’s life without G-Ds will.
• Do not commit suicide:
  • Don’t kill yourself (either through euthanasia, drug overdose, gunshot, hanging, drowning,….) or try to kill yourself {from/because of alcoholism, substance abuse, over eating, workaholism, too much exercise/studying/playing (sports, including online gaming, gambling), lack of sleep, fatigue, depression,….}.
  • G-D has given us one life to live, so live it to the best of your ability and glorify G-Ds great and mighty Name in all of it. Bring glory to G-D in all that you do and think, throughout your life. Don’t cut short your life by living in sin. There are serious consequences for your actions in the afterlife, if you commit suicide.
  • There is no shame, or pain, or hurt, or problem(s), that G-D can’t take heal, take away, forgive or solve for you and your loved ones. Only G-D has the right to decide how long a person must live and when that person will die. It is not up to us to decide, how long we live or not, the Bible teaches. Therefore, do no kill yourself by committing suicide.
• Lying:
  • Being dishonest to G-D, with yourself and then to others. Lying include “white” lies, “gray” lies.
  • Do not lie to G-D in your heart. G-D sees all things in your life. Do not lie to your neighbor, or to your family, or to your friends, or to the people at Church, at work, or to the government or government officials.
• Gossip:
  • Spreading rumors, especially false rumors about other people.
• False witness:
  • Do not lie about people. Do no accuse someone falsely of a crime they didn’t commit.
• Gluttony:
  • Eating too much food. Over eating, or the wasting of food is also a sin.
  • Eating and then forcefully throwing up (bulimia) and then going and eating again is another sin. Whoever does this is hurting their own body, as they are destroying the Temple of G-D (their body), where the H-LY SPIRIT lives. And anyone who destroys their own body, G-D will destroy them, the Bible teaches.
• Jealousy/Envy:
  • Being jealous (envious) of other people’s success, prosperity, triumph, happiness, achievements,….
• Strife:
  • Fighting, arguing with others for no reason but just for the sake of your ego.
• Covetousness:
  • Desiring another person’s husband or wife, another person’s wealth, riches, position (e.g. political power, ranking, or status), possessions, and taking it away from them – through trickery, deceit, manipulation.
• Bitterness:
  • Not letting go off another person’s mistake(s), but holding on to it, without forgiving them.
  • Forgive others who’ve wronged you and move on in life. Do not keep thinking about someone else’s mistakes, especially when that person has asked you for your forgiveness and apologized to you (sometimes, several times).
  • Having bitterness in your life is like drinking poison, daily. You are only hurting yourself by being bitter towards someone else. Let go off the wrong doing(s) committed against you. Bitterness will only cause you to hate others, and eventually, that hate in you will rise up to end up killing you in the long run, if you don’t change.
  • Love others as much as you love yourself, and do not live to hate others.
• Impatience
• Uncontrolled anger – rage
• Violence
  • physical abuse of people, animals, the environment
• Drunkenness – not being sober in spirit
  • drinking too much alcohol – wine, beer, liquor,.…
• Addiction to drugs
  • substance abuse – prescription drugs, recreational drugs, synthetic drugs,….
• Sexual perversions
  • Not behaving in line with the sex that G-D made you in, at the time of your birth

• Addictions to gaming, gambling, excessive indulgence in TV shows, movies and social media
• Foul mouth/speech
  • Use of bad words, cuss words, cursing others

  • G-D will take revenge for you, the Bible teaches.
• Laziness
  • Not working hard in your life to earning a good sustenance.
  • Insincere work
  • Not taking care of your own body – for you are the Temple of the H-LY SPIRIT, the Bible teaches
• Thinking bad thoughts to do evil and harm others
• Cheating
  • Dishonest gain – especially in trade.
  • Knowingly lying to others – Selling defective (“lemon”) products to the people when you know there is a problem(s) with the product
  • No upholding your part of a signed/verbal contract/agreement
• Abuse of power
  • Exploitation of others at the home, with a spouse, at work, in politics, in the community, at Church, in a marriage, with siblings, with children,….
• Abuse of money
  • Using your wealth and riches and throwing it away on unwanted things
  • Being wasteful of G-D given blessings, resources, especially money
• Unbelief:
  • Not believing in JESUS CHRIST that JESUS is the only way to Heaven.
  • Not believing that JESUS is the Son of G-D.
  • Not believing that JESUS is G-D.
  • Not believing in the death and resurrection of JESUS. That JESUS was crucified on the Cross, at Calvary, in Jerusalem, Israel. That JESUS died and rose again from the dead, after being dead for three days and three nights.
  • Not believing the teachings of G-D as written in the Bible.
  • Not being in the spiritual teachings of G-D, when spoken by a minister/servant of G-D.
  • Not believing to obey the promptings of the H-LY SPIRIT – Usually, it is a a small, soft voice you hear in your head. Sometimes, G-D shows you a dream or a vision. This is JESUS speaking to you, through the H-LY SPIRIT, in your dream, in a vision.
• Disrespecting G-D and the things of G-D
  • Disrespecting the Bible – which is the Word of G-D, and the Word of G-D is G-D Himself, the Bible teaches.
    • Do no lay the Bible on the floor. Do not stamp on the Bible, tear it, burn it, spit on it, or destroy a Bible.
  • Do no desecrate (profane) items of the Christian faith in G-Ds sight – Bread and wine used for communion. Any of the vessels used to serve communion bread and wine.
  • Do not profane (make unholy) the areas of worship of G-D – within a church, within your own home
  • Do not put/place a Cross upside down – desecration of the Cross by placing it upside down is mocking G-D.
    • Don’t wear a Cross necklace with non-biblical things written/drawn on it. Do not wear a Cross necklace or jewelry that has a JESUS figure hanging from the Cross – JESUS is risen from the dead, so JESUS cannot be shown to be still hanging on the Cross
  • Do not desecrate a church building and its premises, the altar inside the church, the pulpit in the church. All these are forms of mocking G-D and His Words in the Bible.
  • Do not mock Christians and the Christian faith.
  • Do not mock Christian songs that praise G-D
• Disobeying G-D when G-D tells you to do something – do it immediately
  • Don’t wait to obey what G-D tells you to do. Don’t delay. Do it immediately, don’t keep G-D waiting – G-D is your Master and you are His servant when you decide to become a Christian
• Disrespecting (dishonoring, mocking) your neighbor
  • Respect your neighbor. Do not disrespect them because of their status in life – whether they are rich, poor, or homeless.
  • Don’t be a racist – disrespecting your neighbor based on the color of their skin and their ethnicity – no human race is superior to another. All man and women are created equal to each other in the sight of G-D. All of mankind are all created in the image of G-D, so no one can say their race is superior to another. It is a sin to discriminate someone based on the color of their skin or their nation of origin.
  • Wives (married women) must respect their husbands in marriage.
  • Children must respect their parents – disobedience to parents is a sin in G-Ds sight.
  • Young people must respect their elders
  • Showing respect to your neighbor does not mean being complicit in a crime(s) or being a slave to another person – you can only be a slave to G-D (which is what G-D wants from you) or you can be a slave to sin (which G-D hates).
  • Do not disrespect people in power and authority – Presidents, Prime Ministers, Governors, members of parliament/congress, Police, Military officials, elected people in Government, the royalty (king’s, queen’s, princes and princesses, sheikh’s, sheikha’s, sultans, emir’s,….).
    • Show the people in power the respect and honor they are due, as per their authority in the land you are living in, visiting. Even if you disagree with their politics, policies – G-D has allowed/placed them to be in power. Therefore, do not disrespect them and the authority they possess.
  • Do not disrespect the poor because they are needy.
    • Do not disrespect the poor – based on their clothes, their body odor, the color of their skin, their possessions or their lack of possessions,….
• Pride – not having humility, too much ego
  • Do not be proud. Be humble. G-D hates proud people. He will humble them if they don’t humble themselves.
    • Do not think highly of yourself, as though you are someone very great and powerful. Even if you are indeed great and powerful, be humble, else, G-D will bring you down from your high ranking/status in life.
    • Do not think highly of yourself. Do not be big in your own eyes, because of your education, wisdom, intelligence, money, wealth, position at work, because of your beauty, physical strength, because of the way people look at you and admire you, because of your skills – athletes, movie actors, musicians, artists (designers….), because of your family history {heritage, lineage – who your ancestors were, being born into royalty, being born Caucasian, being born of African descent or any other ethnicity (Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Jewish, “pure blooded”….)}.
  • Do not look down on other races – we are all one in CHRIST, the Bible teaches – people from all nations, tribes, tongues – one Body in CHRIST – no race is superior to another and no race should be given more importance that another.
  • Spiritual pride.
    • A Christian cannot think they are superior to another Christian just because they think they are well educated (theologically) about the Bible or attend church weekly or give money to the church or poor people – don’t be a pharisee.
    • Don’t be a fake person. Don’t be a self-righteous, narcissist, but be sincere in your love, actions, deeds and thoughts, the Bible teaches.
    • Don’t show off to others about your piety. Let G-D decide and honor you. Don’t live to get honor from others by projecting your piety outwardly – in your behavior, in your dress code, language, show of charity,…. – it is all a pompous show and means nothing in the sight of G-D because G-D looks at a man’s heart and not his/her outward appearance and how much he/she is adored by the masses – G-D only cares how much you love Him, how much you obey Him and how much you love others as the Bible teaches you to love, live and do. Whatever you do, do it for the glory of G-D alone and not for yourself. This gives G-D glory and when G-D is given glory, He will lift you up, the Bible teaches.
  • Don’t self-promote yourself as the world teaches you to do.
• Lack of generosity toward G-D
  • Not giving money to the Church, not giving money to poor people and the needy people, are all sins against G-D MOST HIGH
    • Give to the poor and needy people of the world, and don’t expect anything in return from them.
    • Be generous to the person who asks you for help, unless you think they are trying to cheat you.
    • Do not turn the poor away empty handed
• Lack of hospitality:
  • Entertain the people of G-D – people from a Church, a Christian who is visiting from another town, a Christian visitor to your house – a person sharing the gospel of JESUS CHRIST with you in love.
  • Appreciate a person who is helping you. Be thankful to G-D for their help, and do something in return for them, if you can. At least pray for them and their family to be blessed by G-D MOST HIGH.
• Not honoring your vows
  • Keep all the promises you’ve made to G-D. If you haven’t, G-D can curse you, the Bible teaches. Repent to G-D MOST HIGH if you’ve failed to keep any of your vows to G-D. Repent immediately and sin no more against G-D MOST HIGH.
  • Honor your words you’ve made to people – written or verbal agreements.
    • If you can’t/didn’t keep your promise(s) to someone, apologize and ask for forgiveness from G-D first immediately, and then to the one(s) you broke your promise(s). Repent to G-D of all your sins against them.
• Worshiping any other god than G-D the FATHER, His Son JESUS and the H-LY SPIRIT
• Worshiping any idols
  • Do not worship idols made by human hands/machines – made from things of the earth – stone, sand, gold, silver, mud, clay, plastic,…

    • Other spiritual leaders such as the Dalai Lama, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, Sadh guru (Jassi Vasudev), Maharishi Mahesh Yogi {brought Transcendental Meditation into the western world – influenced the Beatles, the Beach boys in the 1960s and 70s and their music),
    • Your ancestors,
    • Do not worship/lookup to/admire celebrities (Richard Gere, Keanu Reeves, “Lisa Simpson” (fictional character from the Simpsons) – are all either practicing Buddhists or influenced by Buddhism,….), business leaders (Mark Cuban, Donald Trump,….), Oprah Winfrey, Deepak Chopra, Eckhart Tolle, Rhonda Byrne…., – do not buy or be influenced by their books, beliefs, way of life (even though they may really be or appear to be as very ascetic, humble, pious people, leading “holy,” spiritually superior lives) – do not follow or accept their thoughts, philosophies, doctrines, teachings, practices (such as meditation – originally a Hindu philosophy),….,
    • Do not worship any female deity (especially for a woman to get pregnant – goddess of fertility,…. they all originate in pagan worship)
• Worship only the true and living G-D Almighty, His Son JESUS CHIRST and the H-LY SPIRIT – with all your heart, soul, strength and mind – for G-D is SPIRIT the Bible teaches, so we must worship G-D in and with our spirit (SEE John 4:24), through the power of His H-LY SPIRIT who lives in us, in truth – worship the Creator and not His creation –
  • Do not worship any indigenous gods (gods of the people of native tribes on any continent that still practice their beliefs),

Don’t buy and use it or gift it unknowingly and bring evil spirits into your house and into your life or someone else’s life. Do look into where the original philosophy/belief of the product comes from, why they are selling it (usually sold as a “good” luck charm/to help you “spiritually” or to bring you money or find love or to ward off evil – but these things are in reality, all traps that bring in the evil spirits.

Do not go near them or associate with such things – look and decide carefully  whether to buy or not, whatever the product may be/

• Do not meditate and blank out your mind and think about nothingness/emptiness or image a small light of a candle in a dark room and think it will give you peace – no it won’t, don’t do it – it is from Hinduism –
  • Instead, meditate on the Word of G-D, read the Bible, close your eyes and pray to JESUS in your mind and the H-LY SPIRIT will speak to you – in a small little voice and show you dreams and visions),
• Do not practice vegetarianism or veganism
  • This philosophy originates in Ayurvedic Hindu practices, for the sake of “purity” or “healthy” living or environmentalism. All the while, you will end up supplementing your diet with nutritional pills and health concoctions/drinks, because of the lack of good nutrition from meat and dairy products –
  • At the same time, do not be overly given to eating or meat (e.g. “Keto” diet, Carnivore diet,….) – all these are fads (trends) – rather eat a healthy diet –

Eat everything in moderation. Do not over eat – don’t be a glutton and become obese.

Exercise often, don’t be a lazy person. Maintain a healthy body weight. Maintain good mental health.

Sleep well (6-8 hours a day).

Don’t be a workaholic (take rest, especially on Sunday – the L-RDs day – keep it holy. Keep time aside from friends and entertainment (TV shows, movies, secular music, parties, social gatherings and events, weekend races) on Sunday’s. Fast on Sunday’s (Biblical fast), if possible, and worship G-D. Attend church and fellowship with other Christians as often as possible (more than once a week).

Seek G-D and read the Bible and meditate on it daily. Pray to G-D daily – this is not just saying the L-RDs prayer. Listen to sermons from good Bible teachers – not prosperity gospel preachers, and be encouraged in the L-RD.

• Do not neglect to take care of your body, for it is the Temple of the H-LY SPIRIT, the Bible teaches – SEE 1 Corinthians 6:19,20; 1 Corinthians 3:16,17.
  • Do not tattoo your body – even if it is with Bible verses, the Cross symbol, date of your baptism, date of your marriage (wedding date),….,
  • Do not inflict your body with pain (torture) knowingly –
    • Self-immolation,
    • Self-harm [self-injury, self-mutilation – cutting of the forearm, pulling of the hair from the head, hurting/breaking of your fingers, nail biting till it bleeds, hitting your hands/head against an immovable object (e.g. a wall, table)] –
    • Do not self-harm for religious reasons
      • – such as some Christian monks do (usually as found in the Catholic or orthodox monasteries) in the name of penance/penitence,
      • “Tatbir” (self-flagellation practiced by Shia Muslims) or because of mental stress
    • Do not commit suicide or have suicidal thoughts, whatever the reason, whatever the difficulty/problem – G-D is the reason to keep living. He will give you the strength to carry on. Face the difficulty, face the consequences of your actions, and He can do the impossible, if you believe in Him, according to His will for your life, all within the teachings of the Bible.
  • Do not sleep with a prostitute (male, female, transgender)
  • Do not practice transgenderism – do not alter your body with plastic surgery for the sake of beauty – breast/calf/buttocks implants, do not remove the genitalia you were born with and replace it with another
  • Do not change the sex you were born as. If you are born male, remain a male all through your life. If you are born a female, remain a female all through your life. If you were born as a transgender (medical condition where genitalia is partially formed or not formed at all) at the time of birth and the doctor or your parents assign you a gender – keep it for the rest of your life and do not try to change it
  • Do not practice homosexuality [nor lust (have sexual feelings/thoughts) after a person of the same sex – man for man, woman to woman. It is a sin in G-Ds sight
  • Do not practice pedophilia. Do not have sex with children, even if consensual – Do not marry a child (anyone under the age of 18)
  • Do not practice bestiality – do not have sex with any animal(s)
  • Do not have sex with a dead person
  • Do not rape. Do not force any man, any woman, any child, including your own spouse, your own children, to have sex with you. It is sin in G-Ds sight.
  • Do not commit incest. Do not have sex with a close relative – do not have sex with your mother-in-law, father-in-law, uncle, aunt, biological brother, biological sister, your biological father, your biological mother
  • Do not practice polygamy – Be married to only one spouse at a time (a man married to one woman till his/her death). A woman married to one man till his/her death. Remarriage is only possible at death of a spouse or divorce – In case of divorce, remarriage is only possible if the marriage ended because of marital infidelity by the former spouse. Otherwise, it is committing adultery in G-Ds sight. And no adulterer will enter Heaven, the Bible teaches, again and again – SEE Exodus 20:14; 1 Corinthians 6:9-11,18; Revelation 21:7,8.
• Do not divorce – G-D hates divorce (SEE Malachi 2:13-17) –
  • Do not divorce except for marital infidelity (unfaithfulness) by a spouse
  • Do not divorce because of incompatibility or irreconcilable differences
  • Do not separate (not official divorce) and sleep around with other people and say “we were on a ‘break’” – This is committing adultery in G-Ds sight

Marriage is for life. Take your marriage seriously and work hard for it, day and night, night and day. Do not allow it to fail, ever. Marriage is a covenant (a promise that cannot be broken till death, a permanent agreement, a spiritual contract) in G-Ds sight between a man and a woman, till the death of one of the spouses

• Do not break up the family unit with divorce
• Do not have children out of wedlock
• Do not have a live-in relationship with your “partner” and not be married in G-Ds sight
• Do not live with your boyfriend or your girlfriend before marriage (cohabitation) or after a divorce.
• Do not have sex with your girlfriend or boyfriend before marriage, or after a divorce – it is the sin of formication.

Sex is strictly for married couples within marriage, between one man and one woman, who are married in G-Ds sight. Therefore, keep the marriage bed pure, always – Do not ever defile a marriage bed with an adulterous affair, the Bible teaches – SEE Hebrews 13:4 – Even if a spouse leaves the marriage and the couple are not officially divorced, do not marry another person and do not sleep around and be unholy. Do not have a mistress on the side.

Do not force someone (e.g. your spouse) to love you or stay with you in a marriage. G-D does not force you to love Him, so you cannot force anyone in life to love you. You cannot force your parents, or your spouse, or your children, or your family members, your relatives, your friends, your coworkers, your employees, your employer,…. not even your own pet, to love you.

• Do not take G-D’s name in vain. Use G-Ds name only with good purpose and intentions.
  • Do not use the name of G-D, JESUS CHRIST as a cuss word. It is not giving the name of JESUS CHRIST honor and respect it is due. JESUS is the Name above all Names, the Bible teaches, and we cannot take it in vain anytime, anywhere – SEE Exodus 20:7; Philippians 2:9-11
• Live in fear of G-D, always
  • Fear G-D who can send your soul to hell as punishment – eternal damnation – Matthew 10:28; Philippians 2:12; Mark 8:36; Luke 12:20. Do not fear man, even if threatened by another person – look to G-D for help – SEE Proverbs 29:25; 1 Peter 3:14-17
• Not seeking G-D is a sin
  • Not obeying His Words, not loving Him, not worshipping Him, not praying to Him, not asking Him for guidance, not asking Him for His opinions in your life’s decisions, not reading the Bible, not having fellowship with other Christians, not trusting G-D and His Words, not putting your faith in G-D alone – but in other people or money or your own accomplishments and strengths. Not listening to G-D when He speaks and ignoring Him. All these are ways of man not seeking G-D and honoring Him in life, when he/she can/should
• Tell others about their sins against G-D Almighty, for them to repent of it and sin no more
  • Tell others not to sin. Explain to others what their sin(s) is/are. Try to stop them from sinning if they are committing a sin – Do not participate in their sins, with them
• Unbelief in G-D Almighty and His Son JESUS CHRIST is a sin
  • Denying that JESUS is the Son of G-D and the only way to have salvation (entry) into Heaven is a sin. Being an atheist, agnostic, or worshipping many other gods/deities are all sins against G-D MOST HIGH
• Do not be a hypocrite
  • Hypocrisy is a sin, the Bible teaches – SEE Romans 12:9. Telling others that they must do or not do something, but at the same time, this person, in private, does or does not do it as he/she talked, when others are not looking – SEE Matthew 16:1-3; Matthew 23:13-36
  • G-D sees everything you say, think and do, even before a word comes to the tip of your tongue. Nothing is hidden from G-Ds sight, Amen. So don’t be a hypocrite
• Do not go against the country of Israel
• Do not go against the Jewish people of Israel
• Do not go against the land of Israel
  • Don’t say, the land belongs to the Palestinians – do not interfere in their politics, you will only upset G-D. Do not support a two-state solution.
  • A Jewish person in Israel or anywhere else in the world is not a Christian until they repent and accept JESUS as their L-RD and Savior. A Jewish person who is a Christian will say, “Blessed is He (JESUS), Who comes in the Name of the L-RD,” and weep over the One (JESUS), their ancestors once crucified on the Cross of Calvary. Until then, they are not Christians. The Jewish people need to turn their hearts to JESUS, to love and follow JESUS and accept Him as their Messiah, the One have been waiting for all these years, and never seek another Messiah (“Savior”).
  • It is the duty of every true Christian believer to love and support the Jewish people and the land of Israel in any way they can
    • It could be:
      • Moral support
      • Spiritual support (by praying for the Jewish people – their safety, their security from their enemies who want to wipe them off the face of the earth; – praying for the peace and prosperity of Jerusalem: the City of G-D, as the Bible teaches again and again
      • Financial support to the Jewish state or Jewish neighbor
• Do not go against a Jewish person in any form or way, unless they are knowingly trying to harm, hurt you. If you do good to them, you will be blessed by G-D MOST HIGH and not be hurt by Him.
• The Jewish people are G-Ds chosen people, and that has never changed in G-Ds sight, even after the death and resurrection of JESUS CHRIST. The Jewish people are blinded in their sinful, secular, cultural ways, as much as any other unbeliever is. Only once an unbeliever decides to be a Christian, to accept and love JESUS and live for Him for the rest of his/her life, then the unbeliever becomes a Christian. So it is also for a Jewish person. But that doesn’t change the fact that G-D is still good to them (blesses them), and cares for them deeply. Therefore, do not go against them in any way or form, for the sake of your own well-being and the well-being of your family.
  • For all the countries (e.g. Finland, South Africa, Ireland, Belgium, Norway, Spain, Argentina, Columbia) and all those countries that vote against Israel in the International Court of Justice (ICJ in Hague, Belgium), in the United Nations (UN, in NYC) and all the terrorists that attack them (Hezbollah, Hamas, Houthi rebels), and all the people that hate the Jews – white nationalists/supremacists, the (neo) Nazi’s, majority of the Muslim people, and any other person or people group around the world that hate Jews, G-D will judge them according to the evil they have done, against the Jewish people and Israel, the Bible teaches.
  • The Bible stands for the truth in the world – G-Ds truth. Satan is full of lies. And Satan deceives people, taking them away from believing in the truth of the Bible. That’s all his aim is. And Satan teaches people to hate Israel, hate the Jewish people, all around the world.
  • This does not mean the Palestinian people haven’t suffered or they are any less of a people group than the Jewish people. Leave this matter in G-Ds hands.
    • Do not go after the politics of the day.
    • Stay out of it and obey the Bible and love and do good to the Jewish people and Israel above all things.
    • Pray for the Palestinian people who are suffering and they will call on JESUS to deliver them from the hands of Hamas and other terrorist organizations who harm them, oppress them, who only take advantage of them, threaten them, steal from them, and do not really do any good to them
    • If you are a citizen of a country that goes against the state of Israel and its actions against the Palestinians, then repent on behalf of your country, for the sake of your own country and ask G-D for His mercy upon your country (or state/city). Because, the wrath of G-D will come upon any country, any state/city that goes against the Jewish people and Israel, the Bible teaches. The enemies of the Jewish people, and Israel will not be spared the wrath of G-D, when it goes out against those who oppose Israel and the Jewish people.
• G-D will bless you indeed if you stand up for Israel, the City of Jerusalem (the City of G-D, as said in the Bible multiple times) and the Jewish people, in any form or way.
  • For all the self-hating Jews, elitist Jews, ultra-orthodox Jews, who go against their own people and won’t allow the spread of the gospel of JESUS CHRIST to be preached in Israel and around the world, all the while promoting any form of sin against the Bible – pray against them and their evil activities, practices, that G-D will remove them from being an obstacle in the way of the Word of G-D reaching the Jewish people and keeping the land of Israel safe from its enemies.
• G-D will judge the Jewish people, Israel, for their sins, in His own time
  • You don’t have to judge them for it – in the UN, in the ICJ or in the news media or social media or anywhere else.
  • G-D will judge all the countries and people groups and organizations that go against the Jewish people and Israel. So don’t be a part of any of it, ever, for your own sake and the sake of your family – because, when the wrath of G-D comes upon those that hurt and hate the Jewish people in any form or way, or try to hold them accountable in man’s sight, without G-Ds approval, then all of those people will suffer under G-Ds mighty hand. It is guaranteed punishment. Later, don’t wonder why such people are hurting, or their country is hurting, or their community is hurting.
    • It is because they were against the Jewish people, and/or Israel, in some form or way, at some point in time in history.
• Bless the Jewish people and don’t curse them
  • The promise given to Abraham by G-D in the Bible still stands today. It is still valid today, that, all those who bless the children of Abraham (the Jewish people, born through Isaac, (Isaac being the covenant child of Abraham – born of Sarah; it is not Ishmael – born of an Egyptian woman: Hagar), G-D will bless them.
  • All those that curse the children of Abraham, G-D will curse. So don’t come under the curse of G-D, it is foolishness. Life is already difficult for many people, and they don’t need another curse added on top of the problems they are already facing in life.
  • G-D judged the people of Israel when they killed JESUS and rejected Him as the true Messiah, the Son of G-D Almighty, when He lived on earth.
    • The Jewish people said, let His blood be upon us and our children, when they wanted to crucify JESUS, even though Pontius Pilate didn’t find any good reason to have JESUS crucified. Decades after the death and resurrection of JESUS, the Romans destroyed the 2^nd Jewish temple in Jerusalem around 70 AD and by AD 135, all Jewish people were driven out of the land of Israel, by the Romans who ruled over them.
    • The Jewish people were scattered all around the world and hardly anyone were left in Israel.
    • This is what happened to the Jewish people when G-D punished them, for killing His son JESUS and G-D punished them for almost 2,000 years!
    • Only in the year 1948 did Israel ever begin to be a country again, as a Jewish nation. And it still exists today only because of G-Ds great love, grace, and mercy for His chosen people, who are surrounded by enemies who hate them and can’t stand them.
    • If G-D can punish His own chosen people so severely, for so many years (almost two Millenia), then how much more will He punish those that hate the Jewish people and Israel, the people whom G-D loves so much. G-D calls the Jewish people, the apple of His eye, the Bible teaches us. So don’t be a fool and go against the Jewish people or Israel in any form or way; you will only regret it.
• Be a blessing to the Jewish people and Israel. Pray for their salvation, for them to accept JESUS as their L-RD and Savior – as their one and only true Jewish Messiah that they await for. And stay out of any politics that goes against Israel, or the Jewish people

There are many, many, others sins mentioned in the Bible. Read the Bible for yourself to find out. As you read the Bible, the H-LY SPIRIT will prompt you and make you see your sins. It will be as though you are looking at your life in the mirror and you will see the errors of your ways.

Be humble and have a desire to change. Be holy, pure and righteous in G-Ds sight, till the day of His return and be raptured to be JESUS in Heaven, forever and ever. Be faultless and blameless to stand before the throne of G-D Almighty and see JESUS reign forevermore, Amen!

Turn away from all sinful, wicked behaviors as listed (given) above. Repent (ask for forgiveness) to JESUS and sin no more against G-D MOST HIGH, His Son JESUS and the H-LY SPIRIT. Love and obey all of G-Ds Words, His laws, His commandments, His teachings and live for JESUS, every day, for the rest of your life.

Do not imitate the world or the sins of others (such as influencers on social media, “thought” leaders, celebrities, athletes, movie stars,….). Imitate CHRIST alone. Be like JESUS, as the Bible teaches us to live and love. If any Christian sins, then let other Christians not follow them into living in sin. G-D will judge each person individually. Each person is responsible for their sins alone; the sins they have committed against G-D Almighty. A person is not responsible for the sins of another human being. Let every Christian pull up any believer who has fallen into sin and teach them the Word of G-D, that they may not live in sin anymore, for the rest of their life.

All people (young and old, man and woman, boy, girl) have all sinned against G-D. There is not one human being who has not sinned in G-Ds sight other than JESUS CHRIST. JESUS is the only perfect example of a person having lived without sin. Therefore, it is JESUS alone Whom we must imitate, to be like Him. We must turn away from our sins and live in sin no more. We must strive daily to walk according to the ways of G-D and not according to the sinful ways of the world. We must not fall into temptation and sin against G-D MOST HIGH, His Son JESUS and the H-LY SPIRIT. JESUS will give us the strength to resist the devil and any sinful behavior. We must flee from all temptations and not pursue it (chase after it), through the power of His H-LY SPIRIT who lives in us.

Be pure, holy, and righteous in G-Ds sight, in your body, mind, soul and spirit, till the day of JESUS’s return or your death. Live your life that you will be found faultless and blameless, to stand before G-D on His throne, at the time of your judgment, in the next life. We must all give an account to G-D for all the things we have done here on earth – good or bad. And we must be found faultless, blameless, in G-Ds sight at the end of our lives, when we see JESUS in Heaven, the Bible teaches us. 

As a Christian, your aim in life, once you decide to follow JESUS is: never to go back to your old sinful ways (the sins of the world), but refinement (becoming as pure gold, pure silver, pure precious metals, pure precious jewels in G-Ds sight). Therefore, remove all the imperfections in your life by living more and more for JESUS. Live daily, every moment of your life – to the best of your ability, to do and live as the Bible teaches you to do and live, loving G-D more and more every day, being  perfected in Him, being holy (sanctified) and righteous in G-Ds sight, through the power of the H-LY SPIRIT, who lives in you. Do not allow sin to come into your life.

No Christian can be perfect, holy, righteous on their own efforts. It is only through G-Ds help this can be achieved, but we must be willing to be perfect. We must seek perfection, always. No one can ever be 100% pure in G-Ds sight. Because, even if you break one law of the Bible, it is as though you have broken all the laws of the Bible, the Bible teaches. That doesn’t mean we give up. Instead, we work hard every day for our salvation, to please G-D in our lives daily, by being a sacrifice unto Him and surrendering to His will for our lives, submitting to His will for our lives and living as the Bible teaches us to live. This is coming as close to 100% perfection in G-D as possible – 99.99999….%. This we do, through the power of the H-LY SPIRIT and our own will power (determination, desires), our discipline toward G-D, our love for G-D and His Word, all for the glory of G-D alone, Amen.

If a Christian sins, and another Christian sees him/her sin, then the Christian is to call out their fellow brother/sister who has sinned (fallen into sin). The upstanding Christian believer must tell the fallen Christian brother/sister to repent of all their sins and live in sin no more. The fallen Christian must be told to live for CHRIST, all the days of their life. They must deny themselves, and take up their cross daily and follow JESUS, till the day of His return or their death.

Do not follow any fallen Christian (brother/sister) into living in sin or being tempted to live in sin like them. They are knowingly or unknowingly living in sin against G-D Almighty. And you as a Christian believer in CHRIST JESUS, should always remain strong, firm in your faith and never go back to any sinful ways of this perverse world You must be transformed into being a new creation, to live for CHRIST JESUS, through the power of the H-LY SPIRIT who lives in you.

Every Christian must desire to be holy, blameless, spotless, faultless in life. So that, at the time of their judgement, after life here on earth, when they stand before the throne of G-D the FATHER, they will be found as clean in G-Ds sight and their rewards will be great in Heaven. For this to be so, every Christian must turn away from the wicked ways of the world and be dedicated to following CHRIST, every day, for the rest of their life.

There is no turning back for a Christian to the ways of the world, ever, once they have decided to follow JESUS.

Your Christian identity

Tenets (principles, doctrines) of the Christian faith, as the Bible teaches

Your identity is in JESUS alone and no one else or nothing else, always

You are a Christian because you want to be a Christian – a follower of CHRIST, a disciple of CHRIST, a slave a G-D and no longer a slave to sin, knowingly, willing, and no one forced this belief on you. You are not a Christian just because your parents or family members are Christians, they cannot take you to Heaven to be with JESUS with them at the time of death or rapture. There are many cultural Christians in the world – those who are Christians in name only, because they have been given a Christian name at birth or they were baptized in a Church as a baby or they had their first communion as a teenager in a Church or they were married at a Church or their child was christened at a Church or their attend a Christmas or Easter service/mass every year – these are all signs of a cultural Christian and not a true follower of Christian, not a true Christian.

To be a true Christian is to be a person without deceit in them, a loving, humble person who is asked by G-D to deny yourself (your own needs, whatever it may be – food, clothing, shelter, pleasure, money, fame, power, status,….) and take up their “cross” and follow Him, and not look back at the world and things of the world and chase after them or agree with them anymore, but be separated from the world, to stand up for G-D and the things of G-D, even if it means to be hated and persecuted by the entire world, including your own family members and closest friends, relatives, all because of your love for JESUS CHRIST – this is a true Christian. If you are a true Christian, you would love G-D with all your heart, soul, strength and mind, every day, every moment of your day, and show your love to those around you, even if it causes you hurt, physical pain, anguish or even to the point of death.

Almost all of the apostles (the first disciples of JESUS) were martyred because they loved G-D more than themselves or anything in this world (including their own possessions and family) and denied themselves freedom from imprisonment, chains and did not recant their faith in JESUS CHRIST and did not stop preaching the Word of G-D even after being told by government authorities to stop preaching in JESUS’s name. The apostles (except for Judas Iscariot) were true Christians, they did not betray JESUS or their belief in Him until their death.

Is that you? Is this how you think of yourself? Do you love G-D Almighty, that you are willing to die for Him and your faith in JESUS CHRIST, if it comes down to it? Or will you recant and run away and deny Him, the Savior of the world, the Savior of your soul?

As a Christian, you are a citizen of Heaven. Your priority is G-D and not yourself or those around you (your family members, your relatives, your friends, your country). You cannot serve more than one master the Bible teaches, either you serve G-D or you serve yourself (your own needs: good food and plenty of it, good living arrangements, good transportation, good health, good status in life, good income, good fame, good power and authority over others, plenty of sexual, sensual pleasure to satisfy your desires – day after day, week after week, year after year). But serving your needs comes at a cost, and will you deny JESUS and the teachings of the Bible to achieve it?

Many people, including many Christians don’t realize that seeking after to achieve the things of the world will take you far away from G-D, even though they might think that G-D is answering their prayers for a good life, with every comfort available to them at their beck and call, by granting it all to them.  It is wonderful to live such a good life, this is probably every man’s (human being’s) dream, but do they count the cost of what they must pay to get there, to keep up such a good lifestyle and not remain attached to it? It is a price no one thinks about when they are dreaming dreams to achieve the desires of their heart.

The Bible indeed says, G-D can grant you the desires of your heart. The Bible indeed says nothing is impossible with G-D Almighty. The Bible indeed says, blessings and not curses will flow into your life if you walk in G-Ds ways. The Bible indeed says that those who give more to G-D and the poor will be blessed more. But all these are physical blessings, for this world, which no one can take into the next world, into Heaven, at the time of their death or rapture. So what does this mean? There is something of more importance the Bible teaches, than just meeting the physical needs of a person. It is not that those needs are to be ignored, as the Bible teaches that JESUS came to give life and life abundantly. But this is not just talking about material or physical blessings on earth, it is talking about giving you a spiritual life to know G-D intimately even before you see G-D in Heaven.

G-D knows your all needs and thoughts even before you ask of it or chase after it. The Bible says, G-D knew you in your mother’s womb, even before you were born. So, seek G-Ds will and then if G-D agrees with your ask, then go ahead and do it, otherwise, no. Refrain and give up the dream. Don’t go against G-Ds will and chase after your dreams/desires and later, if you get hurt, don’t blame/curse G-D. Many people have gotten hurt chasing after their dreams and later, they blame G-D as though it was G-Ds fault that they were caused pain. No, G-D never approved of your plans, or you never asked for G-Ds approval in the first place, so there is no point in blaming G-D later. G-D is in control of your life when you submit to Him and surrender your life to Him. But if you insist on wanting to control your life without submitting and surrendering your will to do G-Ds will, then you can’t blame G-D for the problems in your life. This is how many people (including Christians) turn away from their faith in JESUS because they want to blame G-D for their sufferings and not look at their own actions, behavior, selfishness, and the decisions they made to get them in the place of suffering, pain, misery, depression, homelessness, abuse.

Submitting and surrendering to G-Ds will means, to do what G-D wants, even if it seems contrary to your own will, and you will go ahead and do it no matter the cost to yourself. No pain, suffering, anguish, hatred, persecution, problems from governments or family, friends, relatives, problems at the workplace, home, in the community will stop you from accomplishing what G-D wants you to do for Him, because of your love for Him and His Words. This is true Christianity, this is true Christian living, this is a true Christian. And if you were to die because of such suffering and pain in your life, because someone hated you so much because of your love for G-D, JESUS, the H-LY SPIRIT, the Bible, above all things in life, above your love for yourself and your life, other people in your life, your past faith, your country, then you will be welcomed by G-D with open arms and given the greatest treasures of Heaven that only G-D can give, which will never perish or be taken away, but is eternal. This is the promise of G-D to every believer in CHRIST, whoever is willing to die for JESUS, the Cross and the teachings of the Bible.

This doesn’t mean, be a suicide bomber like a terrorist and kill others in the name of a god and force your faith on others, like how some other religious fanatics do. The Christian faith can never be forced on to anyone, G-D doesn’t do that to you, and neither can you do it to others. The Bible teaches, do unto others as you would want them to do to you, in other words, respect them if they don’t want to follow JESUS. It is their choice, it cannot be forced upon them, just as it wasn’t/shouldn’t be forced upon you.

Becoming a Christian, to follow CHRIST for the rest of your life, a lifetime commitment, means a willing submission to G-D and His Words in the Bible, a decision everyone person must make willingly, without an external force compelling them to do it – for financial gain, fame, prestige, to be part of a certain clique or anything else. No one who does any of this to be a Christian can ever truly be called a Christian, as they will never enter Heaven to be with JESUS – no, never!

On the contrary, the Christian faith calls upon its followers to willing die for JESUS – if it comes down to it, for the sake of the oppressor (the enemy of CHRIST), because of their lack of faith in G-D and your absolute, unwavering faith in JESUS CHRIST. You are standing up for the teachings of G-D in the Bible, and your willingness to stand up for the truth of G-D, because others are ignorant of it or don’t want to follow it. It will count against your oppressors (the enemies of CHRIST) at the time of their judgment, because of their sins against G-D Almighty and because of what they did to you – you never have to be afraid of such people, such a government. 

Your identity is in CHRIST JESUS above all things in life, as a Christian. Not your identity as a White/Black/Caucasian/European/African/Asian/or any other race on earth or of your previous sinful life in the queer community, or your life in the military (as an enlistee, devoted to die for your country, voluntarily), or as an activist (for the sake of animals, mammals, or any other species on earth, the environment, human suffering of any persons/any community,….), as a scientist, as an artist/designer/model, as a  doctor/lawyer/engineer/entrepreneur/investor,…. whatever the field of your profession be, or your upbringing be, in whatever community you were raised in, it all changes the moment you decide to give your life to JESUS and to live for Him and according to the teachings of the Bible. Don’t try to be a Jewish (Messianic) Christian either, as some Christians try to be, or some Jews who become Christians do, still following their Jewish customs/traditions (having a beard and then curling it to look like a Jewish Rabbi, observing the Sabbath (Shabbat) on a Saturday, celebrating Hanukkah and other festivals of Israel,….), keeping Jewish festivals/rituals such as said in the Old Testament Bible (ceremonial cleansing  – washing of hands, feet, saying certain Jewish prayers before/after they eat….), eating only kosher food, thinking all this will bring them closer to G-D in some way or the other – no, it won’t. If it helps you as a Christian in your faith and walk with G-D, then okay, but don’t follow these traditions/rituals for the sake of keeping the Mosaic law, because keeping the Old Testament laws is not what has saved you from your sins, only the spilling of the precious, holy blood of JESUS CHRIST has, when He died on the Cross of Calvary and He rose again after the third day. Observing these cleansing and dietary laws will not get you into heaven, don’t let it be a stumbling block for you in your life with CHRIST. As much as JESUS was a Jew, and the apostles (disciples of JESUS) who wrote most of the New Testament books of the Bible were Jews, the New Testament Bible does not tell anyone to become or live like a Jew to go to Heaven. Observing all the Mosaic laws, after deciding to follow CHRIST is not what makes you righteous in G-Ds sight, it is a misconception. Not that the Old Testament is to be ignored or abandoned or invalidated, no, never! But as a Christian, your identity is in CHRIST JESUS, not in any of the traditions of man, whatever culture, race, or ethnicity you may have belonged to or come from. Leave it all behind and start a new life in JESUS CHRIST, to live, love and do as JESUS taught in the Bible, not what you think is right.

The Bible is not a supplement to add to your existing life or to only observe certain teachings of the Bible to suit your needs and ignoring the rest and saying, its irrelevant in today’s society/culture because you have become so “woke” or intellectually superior to G-D and the Bible, maybe because you were educated in an Ivy league school or in one of any of the other top educational institutions of the world, or your got a PhD from a prestigious theological program at some renowned university. No, G-D and the teachings of the Bible will never change to fit your thoughts, instead, it is you who must change, to do as the Bible says and never the other way around.

You either do as the Bible says, all of it, or you don’t. There is no in-between. Either you accept all its teachings, or you reject all of it. G-D says in the Bible, either you are hot, or you are cold, don’t be lukewarm. It means, either you accept G-D for all His teachings, whether you like it or not and submit to it and obey it willingly in love and live as G-D tells you to live, according to His will for your life, or you reject it on its entirety and be prepared to face your Maker at the time of your death and give an explanation to Him on why you rejected His teachings as said in the Bible and did not want to follow all of it in the life He gave you.

No one can change the teachings of the Bible, it has been established by G-D, for the glory of G-D. This Bible says, do not add to or take away from the writings of the Bible. So, as a Christian, you must decide if you want to follow CHRIST as the Bible teaches, or you reject it and you live in sin against G-D Almighty, because you are too proud to humble yourself, because you think you are smarter than G-D and the Bible and unwilling to do what G-D says to do in the Bible. This is the case with many people in the world, and that’s why the world (especially western countries) has become post-Christian countries or just cultural Christians, with no love for G-D in their hearts or to obey, submit and do as the Bible teaches. They only want to be Christian because it makes them feel good going to a Church or seeing a Church or the Cross, but do not want anything to do with G-D and His teachings in the Bible, nor do they want to have a personal relationship with their Maker. This is pointless Christianity, all in the name of G-D and the Bible, but nothing from what G-D really intends for man (a person) and expects from him/her.

Christianity cannot be a state-run religion or party run religion or religion run by the Vatican, or any one church leader, of whatever denomination. It will never be Christian living as said in the Bible. Do not go after such organizations, such people, such politicians, political leaders, celebrities, they only do it for the sake of power and money in this world, whatever “good” intentions they may have for their fellow human being. Following them and doing as they want will never give you eternal life with JESUS in Heaven. So, do not try to establish Christendom (a Christian kingdom) on earth, in any country, it is not what G-D says to do in the Bible. It did not work in Israel (only for a certain period and even then, it did not work exactly as G-D wanted). It also did not work in Europe (see England or Armenia) or in the US, and it will not work elsewhere till the return of CHRIST.

There are officially 19 countries in the world (as of January 2024) that say that Christianity is their official state religion in their constitutions and the governments must support the churches (e.g. the Anglican church of England is supported by the British government). This means, these countries were founded and established on the principles of the Bible and wanted to adhere to it and G-Ds Words would be their guiding Light, to lead them always. But this has never worked for more than one generation, at any time in history, on any continent.

Wanting to be a Christian nation may have started with the best of intentions and may have succeeded briefly for a few decades, especially with the first generation that introduced this virtuous principle upon the nation. But in reality, after someone becomes a politician, they usually tend to forget G-D and want to remain in power whatever the cost and will not keep being a good Christian as the Bible teaches, but only keep showing that they are a follower of G-D just for the sake of getting votes. Or it could be the other way and suppose a politician is truly righteous, but it’s the people who vote for him, who don’t feel the same way about the Bible anymore (or never cared in the first place) and so, they don’t really care for or want a politician who is a Christian in power anymore, but they want a politician who will do the will of the people and does not care if the politician will do the will of G-D or not.

Usually, the population of a region will try to get a politician removed from power or won’t approve of the bills he/she passes in legislative government (e.g. US Congress or any of the Parliament houses) if the politician is not in favor of the local people from where they were elected or the region where they rule (in case of a monarchy). This makes enforcing Christian principles from the Bible into common law difficult and it won’t function in the long term. This is because, people tend to forget G-D after a while and don’t want to live under G-Ds laws anymore. They only want to live the way they see as best or imitate the nations around them (because of their success or prosperity or influence) and these people want to see laws that will make them happy, as they are not willing to make the sacrifices expected by G-D to live a true Christian life.  

Some politicians are far too keen to exploit this, and the devil works through them to arouse these feelings in people and the people will vote such a politician into power, even if it goes against everything they have been taught through G-Ds Words in the Bible. Therefore, that nation will not remain a true Christian state anymore, maybe only on paper, as it is for these 19 countries in the world whose official state religion is Christianity.

Take for example, five countries: Argentina, Armenia, Georgia (not the US state), Ireland, Poland. Argentina’s official state religion is Roman Catholicism but in late 2020, they legalized abortion laws, and the feminist women were so happy. The same thing has happened in Ireland and Poland (even though Ireland and Poland are not officially Christian nations, but have majority Christian populations, of whom, the majority are of Catholic faith). Armenia and Georgia are officially Christian nations (states) and of the Orthodox Christian faith, but corruption is rampant in these countries and true Christianity is not followed by the people – only a form of godliness because of man’s traditions, and not truly from the heart for the majority of the people. Such people are cultural Christians, not Bible believing Christians who will stand up for G-D and His Word, even to the point of death.  

This is why only G-D can establish Christendom on earth. And it will happen at the time of His return when JESUS comes and stands with His two feet on the Mount of Olives in Israel and begin His Millennial rule. This will be true Christendom on earth, for 1000 years, whether people like it or not, and there will be many who hate it but will be forced to accept G-Ds laws and live according to it. And at the end of the 1000 years, G-D will once again allow the people to choose whom they want to follow – whether they want to follow JESUS and live under His laws or to be against Him and not be a part of His Kingdom. This will instigate another war and those who hate G-D and His Word will come to fight against JESUS and JESUS will defeat them and take all those who stand by Him into a new Heaven and a new earth and this earth will be no more.

G-D is merciful. G-D does not want anyone to perish and go to hell. But at the same time, He won’t force anyone to follow Him, love Him, obey Him, serve Him. If you want to do it, then do it sincerely, willingly, in love for G-D, with all your heart, soul, strength and mind. Otherwise, don’t do it at all, don’t fake it, don’t dishonor (embarrass, bring to shame) G-D and the Christian faith by being a hypocrite and living as the world does, at the same time saying you are a Christian, and never seeing your sins in the sight of G-D Almighty. Others are watching, G-D is watching, don’t ruin your testimony of your faith in JESUS CHRIST because of your hypocrisies (selfish ambitions, greed, lust, lies,….). Repent and turn to G-D with all your heart, soul, strength and mind and change and be a new creation (a new creature of G-D), leaving the past behind, not looking back or living in the same filth of your sinful life as you once did, but do and live as the Bible says and love others as much as you love yourself, not through your own power or strength, but by the power of the H-LY SPIRIT alone who lives in you, for the rest of your life, to have eternal life in Heaven with JESUS your Savior, at the time of your death or rapture, so help you G-D, all for the glory of G-D alone, Amen.

Give G-D all the glory!
