God Is The Final Authority
By David J. Stewart
John 12:48, “He that rejecteth Me, and receiveth not My words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.”
God will be our only Judge in eternity. It matters not what people say about us, nor what we say about them. God is the only divine Lawgiver and Judge. There is no escape from God's judgment. Even born-again believers will stand in judgment before God, to give account of their life (2nd Corinthians 5:10-11).
It is tragic that so many people live by man's laws instead of God's laws. Abortion is evil; yet the Godless U.S. Supreme Court has ruled abortion legal and permissible by law. Certainly, a woman who seeks to justify the sin of abortion can find tens-of-millions of people who will pat her on the back, agreeing with her decision to murder a child. But God said “Thou shalt not kill” (Exodus 20:13). Yet, people kill anyway, disregarding God's commandment. It matters not if the whole world pats you on the back, and says you did the right thing, you are guilty of murder in God's eyes if you abort your baby. God will be the Final Authority; not what you think, nor what someone else thinks, nor what man's law may sinfully allow. God's moral Laws supersede all of men's laws.
God said He “knew” Jeremiah before he was formed in the womb of his mother (Jeremiah 1:5). A fetus is a child, a living human being, that God knows before there is even conception in the womb. A child is a gift from God. Psalm 127:3, “Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is His reward.” Yet, evil people kill such precious little gifts from God, even producing babies in laboratories for the sole purpose of experimentation. Woe unto America!
Divorce is a horrible sin that perpetuates for a lifetime. Divorce is like trying to separate plywood, doing irreparable damage. God said it is treacherous for a wife to divorce her husband. Jeremiah 3:20, “Surely as a wife treacherously departeth from her husband, so have ye dealt treacherously with me, O house of Israel, saith the LORD.” Every woman who files for divorce has dealt treacherously with her husband. Certainly, there are tens-of-millions of quitters, liars and self-righteous hypocrites who will tell a rebellious wife that she did the right thing to divorce; but they are guilty of treacherous evil in the sight of God. The same is true of a husband who divorces his wife. Divorce is evil.
Eve listened to the serpent, just as many wives today foolishly listen to some malicious snake, which ends up destroying a marriage, home and family. There are many feminist serpents today. There is a demonic agenda to destroy the family in America. Meddlers don't care, just so long as it doesn't adversely affect them. They have nothing to lose.
After the damage was done, the snake disappeared in Genesis. That's exactly what meddling people do today. In their hate they kill, steal and destroy a family for the Devil. They wouldn't want anyone tampering with their marriage; but they don't hesitate to destroy someone else's. They are of Satan. Though they join hand in hand in the evil they have done, just as Proverb 16:5 says, God says they will not go unpunished. God has the Final Authority in all matters.
A marriage is a lifetime commitment that ought never be broken. To do so is evil. Those who teach that Jesus allowed divorce are ignorant of the Scriptures, for Jesus taught to forgive 7 times 70 (Matthew 18:22). To the victims of divorce, I say, God has promised never to leave nor forsake His own (Hebrews 13:5). Amen! Christians all across America have condemned Hillary Rodham Clinton as a left-wing monster; but she has faithfully honored her marriage vows and firmly stood by her husband through it all. Meanwhile, so-called Christian wives are divorcing their husbands all across America. Think about that. Please read, Ending the divorce epidemic.
Homosexuality is an abomination (i.e., something disgusting) to God. God created Adam and Eve; not Adam and Steve. Homosexuality is not permissible in God's Law. Anyone who dares to legalize the sin of homosexuality is mocking and rebelling against God. Although millions of Sodomites and lesbians may yoke together in rebellion against the God of the Bible, God will be their Judge in eternity, no one else. God is the Final Authority and it matters not what men may permit or legalize. The wicked rejoice in this evil generation; but life is short and eternity is just around the corner. Proverb 16:5, “Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.” Go ahead, live it up, all you who rebel against God's commandments; but your day of reckoning is coming.
The Catholic Church is of the Devil. Idols are worshipped, God's commandments are ignored and the traditions of men are followed instead (Mark 7:6-13). Vain repetitions are commonplace in the recitation of the Rosary (Matthew 6:7). Sinful priests falsely claim to have the power to forgive sins (but they cannot). Catholics have been lied to, thinking that their sins are absolved by some sinful priest in a Confessional Booth; but their sins remain. The Bible strictly forbids calling a priest, “Father”; yet Catholics disobey God.
Peter is said to have been the first Pope; but no such teaching is taught in the Scriptures. Jesus is the foundation upon which the New Testament Church is built. This is plainly taught in 1st Corinthians 3:11, “For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.” Woe unto Catholics, who will die in their arrogance, religion and disobedience of the Scriptures. Religion is a paved road to Hell. Religion wants to fit us with glasses; but the Lord wants to open our eyes. Don't remain a fool, forsake the religious whore of Catholicism.
I love Catholic people, although most of them hate me. I tell them the truth, which makes people angry. In the book of Acts, Stephen was stoned to death in chapter 7. They literally gnashed upon his flesh with their teeth (Acts 7:54). Herod beheaded the Apostle James in Acts 12 and “it pleased the Jews” (Acts 12:3). The unsaved world has always hated Christians, and no one hates born-again Christians more than the self-righteous religious crowd. Preaching the truth has always led to either revival or riot.
There is a demonic spirit at work in the unsaved world today (Ephesians 2:2), and a Christian who walks with the Lord can feel Satan's presence in unbelievers. And likewise, the heathens can perceive the Holy Spirit of God in the Christian. Satan works in the soul of the unsaved, and causes them to persecute, hate and despise the Christian who exemplifies Christ. I am often mistreated by unsaved people who hate the Lord Jesus Christ. It is not me they hate, but Christ in me. They are hellbound in their wickedness.
American society is saturated today with every sin imaginable and God's born-again children are despised. I am hated by so many people because I have the Lord's Spirit, and they hate Jesus Christ. Jesus told us this would happen. John 15:19, “If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.” I am hated, cursed, despised, persecuted, lied about, slandered and rejected by those who despise the Lord Jesus, even by professed Christians (who are really religious imposters).
1st Peter 2:7-8, “Unto you therefore which believe He is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.” Jesus is a rock of offence to those who are disobedient against God—the baby killers, marriage vow breakers, Sodomites, idolatrous Catholics, and so forth.
It matters not if the entire world pats you on the back and says that you're doing the right thing, God's Law is what will stand as the Final Authority on Judgment Day. Jesus plainly taught that the “Scripture CANNOT be broken” (John 10:35). What the Bible says will stand. Many people today foolishly think God will pardon their sins because of His love, apart from believing in Jesus Christ; but they fail to acknowledge that it was God's love that nailed Jesus to a cross to pay for our sins. If you reject Jesus as your Savior, as do all Muslims and followers of Judaism, then you will go straight to Hell when you die, and burn for all eternity in flames. God's love will not be able to help them, because the “Scripture CANNOT be broken.” Say about me what you will, I am simply teaching what the Bible proclaims.
The essence of the Godless New World Order is that no one dare claim to be 100% correct on religion, because no one knows for certain what is the truth. But that is a lie of the stinking Devil. God's Word is 100% correct. Jesus said in John 17:17, “Sanctify them through Thy truth: Thy word is truth.” Pilate asked Jesus, “What is truth?” (John 18:38). Pilate failed to acknowledge that Jesus is the living truth (John 14:6). Those who claim to seek the truth, while rejecting Christ and His Word, are as blind men searching in the dark. God's Word is the Final Authority.
Jesus is the Foundation of the Church; Not Peter
Jesus Christ Himself is the Foundation of the Church. Peter is NOT the head of the church, and never was. Jesus Christ is the "Rock" (Greek, "Petra") upon which the New Testament Church is built. This is made abundantly clear by Peter himself, in 1st Peter 2:7 ...
"Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner."
Jesus Christ is the Cornerstone, the Foundation, upon which all Christianity is built. It is blasphemy to teach that a mere sinful man, such as Peter, could be the head of the Church. This is typical Catholic brainwashing. The name "Peter" in the Greek means "petros" (i.e., a small stone or rock); BUT, Jesus is referred to as "Petra" (a large rock or mountain) in Matthew 16:18. In the original Greek Jesus said, “Thou art petros [a little piece of rock], and upon this Petra [bedrock] I will build my church.” Clearly, Jesus was NOT speaking about Peter, because Peter was only a small stone.
Every believer is a member of the Body of Christ, and when two or more of those believers come together in Jesus' name, a church has formed. The Authority of that church is the Word of God, Jesus Christ. Matthew 7:28-29, “And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine: For HE TAUGHT THEM AS ONE HAVING AUTHORITY, and not as the scribes.” God is an authoritative God, Who raises up authoritative preachers, to preach from an authoritative Book.
Hebrews 4:12, “For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” Amen! When we teach or preach the Word of God, we can do so with authority knowing that we have the PROMISES of God to back up everything we say. There is no controversy if you believe the Bible.
ConclusionThere are so many sins today which people are claiming God permits, corrupting the Scriptures in an attempt to justify their evil. Few people recognize abortion as being an evil sin, but it is. Few people see any harm in children admiring Harry Potter, a witch. Witchcraft is a sin (1st Samuel 15:23). Divorce has become mainstream, which is tragic. A commitment used to mean something. There are NO Biblical grounds for divorce. Jesus taught unlimited forgiveness (Matthew 18:22).
The unsaved world mocks God, calling things that are good “wicked,” and things that are evil “freedom.” They are trying to confuse children. Modern psychology doesn't even recognize the terms “sin” or “evil.” God's Word is the Final Authority. The smallest Bible in the world is the one we live.
America has become a large insane asylum. When you stop watching TV as I have, and read your Bible every day, searching the Scriptures as Jesus commanded in John 5:39; then you begin to sadly see the wickedness of the American society. Hardly anyone cares about what the Bible says anymore. Abortion is everywhere. Witchcraft is everywhere. Gambling is everywhere. Booze is everywhere. Cursing is everywhere. False religion is commonplace. Nightclubs and taverns are abundant. Immodest clothing and indecency are everywhere. Lying and crooked businesses abound. Greed and deceptive advertising are everywhere. Wall Street is saturated with thieving criminals. Selfishness and apathy are everywhere. Few people care these days. Americans have become thin-skinned, easily offended and intolerant. And we dare sing, God Bless America?
Many Americans are like filthy pigs who litter everywhere. I recently read an article by a woman whose mother came from Germany. She said the people back in Germany keep their country clean. She came to visit Colorado in the U.S. and was saddened to see all the garbage tossed in the local river. It matters not if a garbage pail is within walking distance, people just throw their garbage on the ground, or out the window of their car while driving. And if you dare confront them, they curse you out. This is America today. The biggest part of being a Christian is just caring. If a person cares, then everything else will fall into place. Perhaps indifference is the biggest sin in America today. If only more people cared, things would change for the better. Most people just don't care about anyone except themselves. They worship their automobile more than they worship God. Everything is about them.
Oh how America needs to have faith in God once again and obey the Word of God. The love of money has destroyed our nation. Covetousness is everywhere today. The TV is so evil it is indescribable. So many celebrities have sold their souls to become rich and famous. They are nobodies in God's eyes. God is NO respecter of persons (Romans 2:11). God is the Final Authority, and if we truly grasp that truth, then we will live our life according to the Scriptures, and not according to what men may say. In this day and age you can find anyone to agree with you, no matter how evil your intentions may be; but that in no way means that God approves of it.
Anything can be justified if one is willing to shut out God's Word. This is why over 1,300,000 Iraqi's have been brutally murdered in an unprovoked illegal war based upon lies, and our children are still occupying Iraq, tormenting them and stealing their oil to the last drop. Sarah Palin says this is God's will. God is not a liar and a war criminal. Sadly, Palin likely will be the next U.S. President, because she has openly shown her allegiance to the occult. Hillary Clinton is also still a possible Bilderberg candidate for the Presidency as well. And possibly Arnold Schwarzenegger if they ignore the fact that he's not a natural born U.S. citizen.
We are living in dark days, evil times of woeful apostasy. It is man's authority verses God's Authority. If you side with men, you will be sorry on Judgment Day, because God's Authority will prevail. You can either build your house upon the sand as foolish men who disregard the Bible do; or you can build your house upon solid ground by obeying the Word of God (Matthew 7:24-27).
