Matthew 24:4
Watch out that no one deceives you. For many will come in my name,
claiming, “I am the Christ,” and will deceive many.
The words of Jesus to his disciples were clear and there were no beating around the bush.
Jesus warns his disciples about the coming of antichrists. Jesus knew that many will claim that they are the messiah and many will be led astray.
John viewed the days after Jesus’ birth until His Second Coming as “the last hour”. It is also said to “the last times” or “the last days” because there are no new revelations or prophecies regarding salvation before the return of Christ. The prophecies in the Old Testament regarding Jesus were all fulfilled and the revelations regarding Jesus’ return were already revealed and recorded in many books of the Bible. Therefore, we are living in the last days where we await the revelations of the Second Coming to come to pass.
But until the time comes, many will be deceived...
If you have been following the headlines, you will observe the many onslaughts on Christianity around the world. The 23 Christian missionaries held hostage in Afghanistan, the news about an independent church teaching false teachings and recently the headlines regarding the self professed gay pastor. Ouch...
Let me put this straight. Homosexuality is a 101% no no in God’s list of right doing. Let me quote a few Scriptures taken from the Word of God and then you judge for yourselves whether homosexuality is right in God’s sight or not.
1 Corinthians 6:9
Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God?
Do not be deceived:
Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulteress nor male prostitutes nor
Homosexual offenders will inherit the kingdom of God.
Romans 1:27
In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.
Leviticus 20:13
If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman,
Both of them have done what is detestable.
Need I say more? In 1 Corinthians 6:9, Paul paused in the middle of his sentence and found the need to amplify the stand he had. Paul paused and wrote, “Do not be deceived.” For he knew that many of us who do not know the truth will be quick to believe when others say that homosexuality is ok.
No it is NOT OK!
Homosexuality has started since sin entered the world. The cities of Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed by God because of the sexual immorality of the people. Men were raping other men who visited the cities. The sexual sins were at its peak and the people were too stubborn to repent that God had to wipe them all out. The English word “sodomy” shadows the perversion of the city of Sodom.
Homosexuality is totally against Christian teachings.
Jose Luis de Jesus Miranda from Puerto Rico claims to be God. He said, “The spirit that is in me is the same spirit that was in Jesus if Nazareth.” Jose Luis de Jesus told CNN he learned that he was Jesus reincarnate when he was visited in his dreams by angels.
Jose Luis de Jesus even has a tattoo of 666 on his arm. 666 is a sign associated with the antichrist, de Jesus tells his followers that he is the antichrist and that the antichrist is not the devil but the person after Jesus. And de Jesus says that he is the being who replaces Jesus Christ of Nazareth. All the followers of Jose Luis de Jesus have a tattoo of the number 666 on their body. They claim to be sinless and can literally do no sin.
Sigh. What can is say?
Let’s see what God says:
Matthew 24:4, 10, 11, 24
Watch out that no one deceives you. For many will come in my name,
claiming, “I am the Christ,” and will deceive many.
At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other,
and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people.
For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect – if that were possible.
1 John2:18-19
Dear children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come. This is how we know it is the last hour. They went out from us, but they did not really belong to us. For if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us; but their going showed that none of them belonged to us.
1 John 2:26
I am writing these things to you about those who are trying to lead you astray.
Dear fellow brothers and sisters in Christ,
I pray that you will discover God through the pages of your Bible and have a relationship with God. Knowing about God leads you no where, but knowing God leads you on the right path. So know your God! Do not be deceived!
Any teachings that do not glorify God as the Father, Jesus Christ as the One and Only Son and Messiah and the Holy Spirit as God’s Spirit are not Christian teachings but false teachings. So be careful little ears what you hear.
Know God,
Zlwin Chew
