[Genesis 3:1]
Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, "Did God really say, 'You must not eat from any tree in the garden'?"
Satan appears in the form of a serpent and tempts Eve, telling her to doubt God's words. Satan caused her to doubt God's commands.
[ Exodus 20:3-6]
"You shall have no other gods before me."You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.
Do not make gods for yourself other than Creator God.
Do not worship anything in heaven or on earth or in the sea as an idol.
Then I will bless your descendants to a thousand generations, but I will curse the descendants of idolaters to the third and fourth generations.
[ Revelation 2:14]
Nevertheless, I have a few things against you: You have people there who hold to the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to entice the Israelites to sin by eating food sacrificed to idols and by committing sexual immorality.
Eating food offered to idols is also an act of idolatry, an act of spiritual adultery. Spiritual adultery leads to physical adultery.
[Revelation 2:20]
Nevertheless, I have this against you: You tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess. By her teaching she misleads my servants into sexual immorality and the eating of food sacrificed to idols.
The false female prophetess Jezebel taught lies to God's children and caused them to eat food sacrificed to idols, thus destroying them. In this way, false prophets are those who lead God's children to the path of destruction.
[ Revelation 9:20-21]
The rest of mankind that were not killed by these plagues still did not repent of the work of their hands; they did not stop worshiping demons, and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone and wood--idols that cannot see or hear or walk. Nor did they repent of their murders, their magic arts, their sexual immorality or their thefts.
They served gods made by human hands, made of stone, wood, gold, and silver.
They served creatures, but in the end, they served Satan, a fallen angel.
[ Revelation 13:15]
He was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that it could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed.
Satan gives life to his own image made by human hands, and the image speaks and kills those who do not bow down before it.
[Revelation 21:8] But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars--their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death."
Idolaters and all the wicked will be thrown into hellfire. The first death is the death of the body on earth, and The second death is going to hell and suffering the pain of death over and over again for eternity.
[Revelation 22:15]
Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.
Outside means hell, and inside means heaven. Those who serve idols serve Satan and go to hell, which is outside heaven.
Those who claim that even if you repent, you will go to hell if you receive the VeriChip are heretics. Such false doctrines deny the power of Jesus' blood, and they cause people not to repent of their sins.
These are the people who deny that Jesus came in the flesh, and they are the antichrist.
Why did Jesus come to the world in the flesh?
It was so that Jesus could shed his blood and wash away the sins of mankind with his blood.
There is no sin that cannot be forgiven when anyone repents by relying on the blood of Jesus.
Those who spread the Verichip do not believe in the Bible and are liars.
-------------
Why don't they know what the intellectual, legalistic Jews did?
Those legalists are the ones who crucified and killed their God, Jesus Christ.
Even now, those who follow the Trinity, human doctrines, theories, false prophecies, false signs, VeriChip, and various heretical ideas that follow the power of Satan are the antichrists.
---------------
Legalists and intellectuals misinterpret the Hebrew and Greek Bibles and, on the contrary, oppose the Word of God.
These people are the ones who hinder the gospel of Jesus. The Bible is a book that testifies only to Jesus Christ.
Why do they try to become famous and pretend to be smart?
Those who do not understand the Bible should not show off and should remain quiet.
If they rely on the Lord and pray, the Lord will help them understand the Bible one day.
The spiritual secrets hidden in the Bible cannot be understood through human knowledge, and are by no means an area that can be understood through human effort alone.
-----------------
Why did the Bible tell us to pray in Jesus’ name?
Why did the Bible tell us to cry out in prayer?
Why did the Lord tell us to cry out and seek God with all our heart to know the great and secret things of God?
----------
[ Jeremiah 29:12-13]
Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.
[Jeremiah 33:3]
'Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.‘
It is the Lord's promise that when we cry out to Him with all our hearts, He will reveal to us all spiritual secrets.
[Matthew 7:7]
"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.
When we diligently obey the word of the Lord, repent, and seek diligently, the Lord grants it to us.
[ John 16:24]
Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete.
Since Jesus died and was resurrected, when we ask for anything in Jesus' name, the Lord answers it and our joy overflows.
[Matthew 21:22]
If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer."
[John 20:22]
And with that he breathed on them and said, "Receive the Holy Spirit.
Why did Jesus tell his disciples to be filled with the Holy Spirit?
Why do we have to cry out and try?
Without being filled with the Holy Spirit, we cannot know the spiritual world at all.
Can we know God with human knowledge?
Can we know the spiritual world by reading the Hebrew and Greek Bibles?
Why did Jesus tell his disciples to receive the Holy Spirit?
Those who do not know spiritual things say that there is no demon in the Old Testament.
Those who eat the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and commit sin and do not repent of their sins belong to Satan.
Their spirits and bodies are under the control of Satan.
Satan and the demons, fallen angels, make sinful human bodies their home.
Those who believe in Jesus, who is God, and live a life of repentance are protected by God.
Those who believe in Jesus, who is God, as their savior have their souls wrapped in the life of God.
So the devil can attack the bodies of God's people, but the demons cannot attack the souls of those who repent and obey.
-----------------
[ Matthew 12:43-45]
"When an evil spirit comes out of a man, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it.Then it says, 'I will return to the house I left.' When it arrives, it finds the house unoccupied, swept clean and put in order.Then it goes and takes with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the final condition of that man is worse than the first. That is how it will be with this wicked generation."
A demon went out of a man. The spirit sought another resting place, but found none.
So the demon returned to the man from whom it had come, and the house was repaired and cleaned, which means that there was no one to protect and guide the man.
So the demon brought seven demons more evil than himself and entered him,
And the man's last condition was worse than before.
-------------------
The serpent was cursed even more severely, and the Lord commanded him to eat dust all his life.
What does this mean?
The human body was made of dust, so the serpent eats the human body made of dust.
The serpent is not an animal that eats soil.
The spiritual serpent is Satan Lucifer and his minions, the demons.
The spiritual serpent Lucifer eats people made of dust as his food.
so human body is food for Satan.
The demons, who are the angels who have sinned, attack the thoughts and bodies of sinful humans, and enter the human body.
They make humans commit sins and turn away from God.
Satan indiscriminately deceives both believers and non-believers.
They make humans not know the one God, deify dead and living humans, and worship created things as idols.
Those who are deceived by Satan do not serve God, the Lord of life, but serve created things as their masters.
-----------------
[Genesis 2:7]
the LORD God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.
God took dust and created a human body, and breathed God's breath into the human body. Thus, the human became a living being.
[Genesis 3:14]
So the LORD God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this, "Cursed are you above all the livestock and all the wild animals! You will crawl on your belly and you will eat dust all the days of your life.
The serpent was cursed more than all other beasts, to crawl on his belly and eat dust all his life.
[Romans 5:12]
Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned--
[ Romans 6:16]
Don't you know that when you offer yourselves to someone to obey him as slaves, you are slaves to the one whom you obey--whether you are slaves to sin, which leads to death, or to obedience, which leads to righteousness?
Those who obey the word of God become God's people and live in heaven, but those who obey the word of Satan go to hell where Satan lives.
Heaven and paradise are clearly the same place. Jesus, the only God, resides in heaven, and there is no other place where the Lord resides.
Those who believe in Jesus and die will go straight to heaven where Jesus is.
When we go to heaven, we never stop anywhere else. There is no place to stop over.
Many people misinterpret paradise and think of it as a transit stopover, like the Catholic purgatory. There is no purgatory, it is a theory created by human thought.
Heaven and paradise are the same place, the kingdom of God.
Why do many people, claiming to know the Hebrew and Greek Bibles, divide heaven and paradise, and hell and Hades into different places?
--------------
[ John 14:3]
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.
The place where Jesus is is a heaven and paradise of infinite joy and peace.
[ Luke 23:43]
Jesus answered him, "I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise."
Where Jesus is is heaven. Heaven is so beautiful that it is called paradise. Do not say that heaven and paradise are different places.
In heaven where Jesus is, there is a river of the water of life and fruits from the tree of life. There is no other place like heaven where there is a river of life and a tree of life.
Heaven is paradise and paradise is heaven.
Jesus is the Lord of heaven. That is why Jesus was resurrected and went to heaven, not somewhere else.
Paradise and heaven are not different places.
When Stephen was martyred, the Lord received his soul in heaven.
-----------------
2 Timothy 4:18]
The Lord will rescue me from every evil attack and will bring me safely to his heavenly kingdom. To him be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
Those who believe in our Jesus Christ, who endure tribulation and persecution on this earth, keep their faith until the end, and live a life of repentance, will enter heaven where Jesus is when they die.
There is no other heaven besides this one.
[ 2 Corinthians 12:4-5]
And I know that this man--whether in the body or apart from the body I do not know, but God knows--
was caught up to paradise. He heard inexpressible things, things that man is not permitted to tell.
When Paul lived on this earth, the place he went to in spirit was paradise. That paradise was the third heaven, or heaven.
[Matthew 5:10]
Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
[ Matthew 7:21]
"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
[Matthew 18:3]
And he said: "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
Our hearts must become pure like the hearts of children, because only souls that have been transformed into pure hearts can enter heaven.
A pure heart is one that lives according to the word of the Lord and repents of sin.
[ Matthew 13:11-13]
He replied, "The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them.
Whoever has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him.
This is why I speak to them in parables: "Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand.
What does it mean to know the secrets of heaven?
It is to know Jesus, the Lord of heaven!
So, all who know Jesus as the one God and obey his words will enter heaven.
When the Lord gives us faith, if we do not obey, that faith gradually disappears.
Later, even if he reads the Lord's words, he will not understand them, and even if he hears them, he will not understand them.
[ Matthew 13:14-15]
In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah: " 'You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.
For this people's heart has become calloused; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts and turn, and I would heal them.'
We must strive to obey the Lord every day. If we do not obey, we will lose all spiritual sense. Even as they walk the path of death, such people do not realize the destruction that is coming.
[ Matthew 13:16-17]
But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear.
For I tell you the truth, many prophets and righteous men longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.
In the Old Testament era, many prophets knew that the Savior Jesus was coming to the world and were waiting for him.
However, all of them had to end their lives without seeing Jesus in person.
His disciples saw Jesus in person and heard his words of life directly. This was a very blessed thing for them.
[ Matthew 13:18-19]
"Listen then to what the parable of the sower means:
When anyone hears the message about the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is the seed sown along the path.
When you hear the word of life, you must become one who understands it. That is, to obey the word of the Lord as it is, and when you sin, do not make excuses but repent.
[Luke 16:16]
"The Law and the Prophets were proclaimed until John. Since that time, the good news of the kingdom of God is being preached, and everyone is forcing his way into it.
In the Old Testament, people could receive forgiveness of sins by offering a sacrificial lamb through a priest.
However, in the New Testament, since Jesus is the eternal priest, anyone who repents before the Lord can receive forgiveness without going through a human being.
There is no need for any other conditions. Those who diligently obey and repent will enter heaven.
