Nr. 175: Jesus is the world's greatest ventriloquist "claim" Trinity teachers!

Nr. 175:

Jesus is the world's greatest ventriloquist "claim" Trinity teachers!

"And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? It means: My God, My God, why have you forsaken me? "Matthew 27.46

If a belief in what Trinity teachers claim that God the Father is a person and the spirit is a person, then Jesus must be a ventriloquist. When the Holy Spirit left Jesus 1 hour on the cross, that Jesus cried out the following: "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? It means: My God, My God, why have you forsaken me? "
When the spirit, holy spirit, Jesus left, he called my God, my God, etc. So he left God on the cross.

What is truth?

That spirit is a part of God and not a person!

So simple, so clearly, so good is that, as big as that. Unfortunately, there has crept into a stranger learn Synod in Nicaea and later on various Catholic Church meets at 300-400's that spirit is a person. The kivedes if they have the spirit or Mary, mother of Jesus as a third person in a God. Mary was not elected p.g.a. that it would have aroused too much revolt when she was a woman. Therefore, "found" out that it was easier to choose the spirit. All this is of course staged, of course, the evil spirits!

Where was the Father physically when Jesus died?

Scripture answers. He was in heaven, yet Jesus cried out that the Father had forsaken him one hour on the cross. Who left Jesus? Not his own spirit, it left him in the moment of death, but God's own spirit left him.

What Jesus cried out then?

Jesus cried out that the Father left him. Or was the holy spirit left him. Is the Father and the spirit the same? It teaches the writing, that the spirit is part of God, but no person.

Joh. e. 4 24 God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.

God is spirit, therefore, it is grammatically correct to say that the holy spirit is a part of God but not God.

Do you have to believe a lie to be biblical? No!
Must one believe that Jesus is a ventriloquist? No!
Scripture answers, it gets you here by me. This teaches the Bible, not me. This was the first Christians' religious beliefs. " Not from Nicaea or elsewhere.

1. Kor. 8. 4b. that there is no God but one. 5 For if there are also so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth - for which there are many gods and many lords - 6 it is but for us only one God, the Father, by whom all is, and we to him, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all is, and we by him.

Jesus is the only true God, Father, it teaches the writing.

Joh. e. 17 3 and this is life eternal that they might know thee the only true God, whom thou hast sent, Jesus Christ.

Why not begin to believe as the word of God teaches? What does the word of God? That Jesus was speaking to himself, was a ventriloquist, or liar? Not to be ugly, the Trinity, is not good.

If I believed in the Trinity, then I had to lie to myself! The hang not together, it's like to write out the answer and so then set up the calculation. It is much better first stick to the facts and what scripture teaches, so get the answers by themselves, well it is.

This teaches Scripture: Psalm 119 160 The sum of your word is truth, eternal, all your righteous judgments.

I think that there are a few scriptures that speak of the Trinity, a few more for Jesus alone doctrine. The rest of God's word speaks of the biblical view that there are two persons in the Godhead: Father and Son. Actually, the Godhead a somewhat bad word, used only in Acts 17 as a borrowed word from the Greeks. God is by far the most commonly used. It is for the focus will be the only true God the Father!
And their common Spirit is 1 \ 3 of God or the Godhead, but their common Spirit.
Spirit in Scripture is never mentioned by proper name or reveals himself as a man or a figure of a person. Only the components, indicating that he has personal characteristics. Eg as a powerful weather, a dove, etc. The properties are such that the supervisor, the Spirit of truth, peace, Spirit, etc.

And that is what we find throughout Scripture that the Holy Spirit has different characteristics but also mentioned that the seven Spirits of God. As says that he not only has a property, but all properties of the Father and the Son as he is their common Spirit. Scripture says several places of the Holy Spirit, Jesus Kristis Spirit and the Spirit of God, etc.
The two places in Scripture that speak strongly in the writing of a trinity are here:

1) Theologians have pointed out several places in the NT to support in their view that God is three, three people. Father, Son and Holy Spirit together in a God. This dogma is not particularly emphasized in the Bible except in some later texts other than in the first Epistle of John chapter 5 verses 7-8

Through the Latin Middle Ages it was believed that the text said: There are three that bear witness in heaven. Father, the Word and the Holy Spirit. Ah here it is, the dogma of the Trinity. But this is found only in the Latin manuscripts. Absolutely not in the Greek manuscripts of the NT.

When the New Testament of the Greek manuscripts were published in 1516, a scribe named Erasmus did not include these verses to the great hubbub of his theological opponents who maintained that he had a mischievous way removed Trinity from the Bible. Erasmus replied that he could not find this part in some of the Greek manuscripts he knew. And here goes the story. He challenged his opponents to produce a Greek manuscript of the Trinity. If they did it, he would include it in the next edition of the NT. In response produced his opponents a manuscript or at least they got a produced. Some copied John's first letter from the Greek, and added these verses, and presented them to Erasmus. As the honorable man he was, he included these verses in the next edition.

It was this version that became the basis for the King James version, which was important in the historical Bible in English. These verses are still in the King James version but not the newer and more reliable translations.

This is why an older generation of readers of the English Bible was assumed that the Bible taught the dogma of the Trinity, even though this is not found in any Greek manuscript in more than a thousand years. So what is the most reliable? The Greek manuscripts or the much later Latin? Of course the Greek manuscripts!

2) Matt. 28. 16 But the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had said he would meet them. 17 And when they saw him, they fell down and worshiped him: but some doubted. 18 Then Jesus came and spake unto them: "I have received all power in heaven and on earth. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations! Rename them to the Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost 20 and teach them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, even unto the end. "

If you walk into to study this carefully so find one out of that in the Great Commission in Matthew and Mark have been taken in and out and sometimes changed with great certainty in the Matthew Gospel.
The first change sounded like, "in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit."
So it was left out and taken in again.
What Jesus really said that has changed is the following that Jesus' actual words: "in my name, baptizing them."

This will be the "correct" translation as follows:

Matt. 28. 16 But the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had said he would meet them. 17 And when they saw him, they fell down and worshiped him: but some doubted. 18 Then Jesus came and spake unto them: "I have received all power in heaven and on earth. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations and in my name, rename them, 20 and teach them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, even unto the end. "

Who should we believe? All the others both the Gospels and the Acts of the baptizing all new won in the name of Jesus or Christ.
NEVER in three denominations as Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Father is described as the only true God, the Father, the Ancient of Days, etc.
Son Jesus Christ, the Messiah, the Son of Man, etc.
Spirit NEVER with its own name but with the personal qualities that show that we have to do with God and Jesus Kristis Spirit. Excuse repetitions but that's because this has to sit!

According to Norwegian language rules to proper names consisting of several words have only capitalize the first word. It is NEVER the Holy Spirit, but it has both God the Father and the Son Jesus Christ.

Rooms. 6. 2 Certainly not! How can we who died to sin still live in it? 3 Or do not you know that all we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4 We were buried with him when we were baptized with the baptism of death. And as Christ was raised from the dead by His Father's glory, we shall also walk in newness of life. 5 Do we have grown together with Christ in a death that is equal to his, shall we be one with him in a resurrection like his.

To be baptized in three denominations is actually an ancient Egyptian beliefs and teachings which were later adopted by the Greeks. And continued by the Catholic Church and the Protestant churches and church. The doctrine is essentially demonic such as orders of the Sabbath holy to Christians also. And there are some who teach that baptism is not New Testament teaching, it is also a dangerous and unscriptural teachings.

1. Tim. 4. 1. Spirit says with clear words that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith. They should stick to the spirit that leads astray, and the demons teach.

It is therefore dangerous when one builds his entire Trinitarian understanding of scripture that is questionable but if these passages had its validity. So is the sum of God's word of truth. Therefore, one is not to say that this is some conspiracy theory that some would argue this is. To know that both Jesus only doctrine is wrong and the Trinity, the sum of God's word is truth. My view is anyway!

There are two persons in the Godhead. The Holy Spirit is not a person.

1) The basic meaning of the word is wind, spirit, etc.

2) The Spirit is not proper names.

3) It is mathematically impossible with three persons in one God.

4) Only the Father is God fully! Jesus is not from eternity with the Father. Isaiah 44.6. The Father is called in John. e. 17 3: The only true God!

But Jesus is still God, but Son of the Father and can and should be both worshiped and one can pray to him and in his name to the Father.
There is a general broad understanding among Christian denominations that God is a composition of three equal persons who together constitute a unit named as the Trinity. It is part of this dogma a perception of God among themselves to go into the roles that the Son or the Father without actually being there. The Bible is totally alien to these concepts, and the contrary also against all common sense and logic. The Bible teaches clearly that we only have one God, the Father (1 Corinthians 8:6), and that he has a son - who is also God because He is born of Him (Hebrews 1:8) - and that the Father and the Son a common spiritual presence in all creation through the Holy Spirit (Phil. 1:19, John 2:23 p.m.). The son is clearly subordinate to the Father in rank (1 Cor 15:27,28), even if he is given it by the Father to be worthy of all worship the same way with him. The Holy Spirit is not an independent third God to be worshiped, but the Father and the Son universal presence. Nowhere in the Bible occurs there such a thing as the worship of the Holy Spirit. There is a total stranger instance of God's people throughout biblical history. The idea of ​​a triune God stems from pagan religions. The renowned historian Edward Gibbon concluded the following about the Trinity in the book "History of Christianity":

"If heathenism was conquered by Christianity, it is equally true that Christianity was corrupted by paganism. The pure Deism of the early Christians ... were changed by the Roman church to the incomprehensible dogma of the Trinity. "

The father of the Trinity is impossible to exaggerate. In the Trinity, the Holy Spirit defined to be 1 / 3 God, and is hence worthy of adoration and praise in equal with the Father and the Son which constitutes the remaining 2 / 3. The consequence of preparing the trinitarianske Holy Spirit, is that in reality opens the door wide open for spiritualism, and that you come in contact with a totally different spirit than that which is known by the name of the Holy Spirit. Spiritism and mediumship has been practiced for thousands of years, and is strictly forbidden in the Bible (3 Genesis 20:27). It is no coincidence that the Christian community in which you emphasize just prayer and praise of the Holy Spirit also experience clear cases of demon possessions during meetings. This is perhaps not so surprising, since many of the methods used, for example. of the well-known charismatic evangelist Benny Hinn, has proven to be exactly the same as was used in mesmerismen. This means that what takes place at these meetings simply is nothing more than mass suggestion and hypnosis. This obsession is even evidence that God exists. How wrong is it possible to take? Jesus never threw people into the ground by the healings and blessings. He left them on the other hand up!

As the Father and the Son only considered to be the roles that God occurs in as it suits him, you lose a vital understanding of who the Son is (1 John 2:22,23). You lose the sight of how incredibly much it cost the Father to give His Son for mankind on the cross of Calvary. Until Jesus was conceived as a human being, he had no physical part of human nature. Through His saving action, He was the Son of man forever. Father really gave His Son for the sins of the world. It was not a role play. It was a real risk that Jesus took upon Himself human nature in it, he descended to earth to atone for our sins. If Jesus at a single point had given in to Satan's temptations, He had been hit by the curse of sin as much as anyone, and would have been just as lost as everyone else, because the Bible is clear that the wages of sin is death. The Bible teaches that God can not die. If it was the One True God, as described in 1 Corinthians 8:6, which hung on the cross, it means that Jesus is not really dead, but that it was just a game for the gallery and that God really gave His Son. How un-Christian and Bible strange idea this is! When treenighetslærens traffickers are asked to examine this view, one ends up with definitions and theses that are so devoid of biblical founded reality and spiritual reality of the presence that the only thing that remains as valid "reason" to implement the teachings of Christianity is to call the a mystery. That way no one can contradict it or criticize it. In keeping with good Catholic practice it is considered given only some scholars to get more insight into what it is about, while the large mass just have to accept their conclusions. This is not the biblical recommended way to proceed under the to build the foundations of faith. There are many things about God's nature is a mystery to us, but Trinity does not fall under this category. It is the opposite - when you look for - a blatantly conglomerate of human philosophy, ancient paganism and demons misguided teachings.
As to be and should be posting like the plague in every Christian context and from every Christian preaching in writing and speech!

We violation of Scripture and common sense thinking of putting a spirit in as a second God, when God the Father also refers to himself as the Spirit.

Joh. e. 4 24 God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth. "

Can not see that either the Trinity or Jesus only doctrine is supported when one tries teaching the entire font, for the entire font is innblest of God and God's word.
The biblical teaching is that the Holy Spirit is no more or less of God and Jesus Christ, the common spirit.

I and every other person has a spirit, but to say that this spirit is a person will sound absurdly out.
Antichrist is a spirit, but to say it is the Antichrist will sound silly and trite out.
The fact that most of Christianity in 1700 years ago the Catholic Church were-powerful have been doing as they have done is bad. But to continue to believe Serpent lie is folly and delusion!
Wake up and turn back to the straight and true biblical faith and doctrine.

Jude 3 Beloved I have had a deep desire to write to you about the salvation we have together. But now I felt compelled to send you some admonishing words to fight for the faith of the saints once for all has been handed over.

Nr. 174: My personal testimony!

Nr. 174:

My personal testimony!

I will come with what I experienced salvation and Jesus Christ.

I was born in Denmark, Lemvig in 1964. But we lived in Thyborøn where my father grew up.
We moved to Skudeneshavn Karmøy in 69 where my mother comes from.

I look back on childhood as very good. My major interest became sports and especially football.

As I remember back then I had the excellent good clean human perspective. Life smiled at me and I smiled at life.

But it was a football buddy of mine who was saved and born again. I noticed that there was been a change with him.

On one occasion after he had been saved, we got a call in private. Then he laid out the way of salvation for me. When there was no turning back.

I was with him at meetings of the Free Evangelical Assembly Ebenezer. After 3 weeks of regular meeting visits bent my heart and knee to Jesus and was saved and born again. When I was 16 years, 25 January 1981.

Wonderful, wonderful and great. I was a child of God through faith in Jesus Christ.

Since I've experienced both the one and other. But what happened when I was 16 years has held since. And I think it will keep the rest of your life and throughout eternity.
Salvation is the best, largest and most important thing that has happened to me.

Nr. 173: Fantasy doctrine God the Holy Spirit!

Nr. 173:

Fantasy doctrine God the Holy Spirit!

From Wikipedia: Imagination is the ability to imagine something, especially that which does not exist in reality. This ability uses one to create art, but also to find solutions to problems. Fantasy refers also to a imagine or imagine, or the product of the creative imagination. According to Erik Lerdahl (2007), imagination is essential to develop new ideas and concepts. New ideas are created only in the imagination before they in turn may be manifest in a concrete form in the "real world". The ability to fantasize that really means to stimulate creativity can be developed through training, where you deliberately remove the self-censorship and self-imposed limitations. A fantasy is often a personal performance that expresses the desires and goals, whether that reality clear impossibilities, such as magical powers or total world peace, or more attainable daydreams and hopes, like the financial or sexual nature. There are also collective fantasies or beliefs of a society's culture, be it literary expression in different forms or by religious, ideological and other idea-based movements. In further and more specific sense, the word imagination is used on all kind of art or cultural expressions that are freely invented. Fantasy can be both constructive and destructive in its nature, it depends largely on the intentions that underlie the imagination and how it manifests itself in the face of reality (end of quote).

This agrees very much for this to believe that God is the Holy Spirit and as an "extra" God. This is an imaginary thought patterns and performance that no one can find no basis for the word of God. Spirit is not even mentioned by name, just tell us that there is no person, but an imaginative learning.

What does the writing?

That spirit is a part of God, but not a person or God. But God and the Spirit of Christ. Then with a small letter and the correct and biblical spelling is not the Holy Spirit but the Holy Spirit, which is found in the original text.

1. Joh. b. 4 13 By this we know that we abide in him and he in us, that he has given us of his Spirit.

note the wording: "given us of his spirit."

Here an excerpt from the Catholic church, what they think about this topic, they were the first who rejected the belief in one God and believe in three Gods, not one that Scripture teaches.

From the Compendium of the Catholic Church's catechism: Third Chapter: "I believe in the Holy Spirit"
136. What does the Church as it confesses: "I believe in the Holy Spirit?"
To believe in the Holy Spirit is to profess the third person of the Holy Trinity, who proceeds from the Father and the Son and "worshiped and glorified with the Father and the Son." The Spirit is "infused into our hearts" (Gal 4, 6), so we can receive the new life as children of God.
138. What are the indications are that the Holy Spirit?
"The Holy Spirit" is the correct name of the third person of the Holy Trinity (end of quote).

I believe in spiritual activities

There are some who reject the unbiblical doctrine of the Trinity, but also rejects the spiritual effects, etc. This is completely wrong, we must distinguish between those who abuse the gifts and what God gives, and what Scripture teaches. I do not think that the example that the Pentecostal \ Charismatic movement is a healthy evangelical movement, but I still think both God and Jesus and that their common spirit works today as it did in bygone days.

What I think

Is that the Godhead consists of two persons, the Father and the Son, but the Father is the Son of origin, therefore it is only one God, not two or more. And they have a "common" spirit, which in Scripture is referred to as the holy spirit. In the English King James is the correct translation, but it is one of the few bible as it is translated correctly. English language: the Holy Spirit from the Old English Gast, "spirit", so they write is not the Holy Spirit as we do, but the holy spirit in Norwegian and English holy spirit or holy ghost, wonderful and delicious!

Tripp, stairs, wooden shoes!

For many it is so that when they believe that God the Father is close, it is wonderful, and when Jesus is near, it is even more delightful. And the ultimate is the spirit's presence, this is an absurd thought and belief. It is when the spirit is near, Jesus is near, etc.

Idolaters are the Trinity and Jesus only supporters

2. Genesis 20 2 I am the Lord your God who brought thee out of Egypt, the house of bondage. 3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me. 4 You shall not make for yourself an idol or any likeness of anything that is in heaven, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. 5 You shall not worship them nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, home of the fathers sins the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me, 6 but show kindness to thousands, of those who love me and keep my commandments. 7 You shall not misuse the Lord, your God's name, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who misuses his name.

Lord says he is the one God, no. One should not make themselves a graven idol or misuse the Lord your God. When one says and calls such as this: "God the Holy Ghost." When making a to a carved idol and misuse God's name, a call to God as "just" God's Spirit. Not more or less.

Sin against the spirit

Sin against the spirit is to be God's call and receive not repent, then there is never the possibility of salvation if one will not repent. Sad that so many will be misled here.

It is only by the spirit that one can say Jesus is Lord

1. Kor. 12. 3 Therefore I announce to you that no one who speaks in the Spirit of God, saying: Cursed is Jesus! and no one can say Jesus is Lord! without the Holy Spirit.

It is only by the spirit means that we can say Jesus is Lord and mean it. It's that simple. And if the spirit had been the one person he could not have been in millions at the same time.

Absurd learn!

Of course, getting a law to believe in the Trinity, it can neither I nor any other obstacles. But from 300's to the present day have one if one rejected the Trinity also been rejected by the wide made among Christians. In other words, one has believed in an unbiblical teaching in 1700 year and shut others out of the kingdom of God because of that, just as the Pharisees and the scribes did in Jesus' time.

Matt. 23. 13 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, ye that closes the kingdom of heaven before men! for themselves is in not in there, and those who are about to go in there, allows you not to enter.

This doctrine creates people who are deceived and those who are on their way out of this doctrine, is denied. To be held down, but the scripture says that we shall know the truth and the truth shall make us free, Hallelujah (John e 8.32).

Jesus intercedes

There are those who believe that the spirit intercedes, but this is the wrong translation. This is where the problem is too many, the Bible is so wrong translated everything for it to fit the unbiblical doctrine of the Trinity.

Nr. 172: You must be born again!

Nr. 172:

You must be born again!

Joh. e. 3 1. And there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a Jewish rulers, 2 he came to him at night and said to him: Rabbi, We know that you are a teacher come from God: for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him. 3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he can not see the kingdom of God. 4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? he may well second time into his mother's womb and be born? 5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and the Spirit, he can not enter the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Wonders you not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again! 8 The wind blows wherever it wants, and you hear the blast, but you do not know where it comes from, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. 9 Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can this happen? 10 Jesus answered and said to him: You are Israel's teacher, and do not know this? 11 Verily, verily I say unto thee, We speak what we know and we testify what we have seen, and I do not accept our testimony. 12 When I have told you earthly things and ye believe not, how shall ye believe if I tell you, the heavenly? 13 And yet is not risen up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, the Son of Man, who is in heaven. 14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so shall the Son of Man lifted up, 15 so that whoever believes in him shall have eternal life. 16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have eternal life; 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him. 18 Whoever believes in Him is not judged: he that believeth not is condemned already, because he has not believed in God's only begotten Son name.

The new birth - question about an inside or outside

One does not become a horse standing in a stall or you are not a fish living in water. One must be born a horse to be a horse and you will not put a fish without one is born or bred as such. It is the origin of which is crucial. What spiritual origins do you have? It is either God or Satan. Whether people will remain in the dark or in God's marvelous light.

The living away from God or go to a Christian church - both must be born again!

Acts 10. 1. There was a man in Caesarea called Cornelius, captain of the hærdeling which was called the Italic, 2 he was a pious man and feared God with all his house and gave many alms to the people and prayed to God always. 3 And he grandgivelig in a vision, about the ninth hour of the day, an angel of God came to him and said to him, Cornelius! 4 And he stared at him and was horrified and said, What is it, Lord? He answered him, Your prayers and your alms have risen up to the remembrance of God. 5 And now send some men to Joppa and bring to you a man named Simon who is called is called Peter, 6 he was staying with a tanner named Simon, who has a house by the sea. 7 And when the angel who spoke to him, was gone from him, he took two of his servants and a devout soldier of them that was always about him, 8 and he told them all about it, and sent them off to Joppa. 22 They said, Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous and godly man, who has a good testimony of the entire Jewish people, was the commandment of a holy angel that he should bring you to his house and hear what you have to say. 30 Then said Cornelius: Four days ago - it was then, as now at the ninth hour - I prayed in my house, and behold, a man stood before me in shining garment, 31 and he says: Cornelius! your prayer is heard and your alms are remembered before God; 32 send therefore messengers to Joppa, and call to thee, Simon who is called is called Peter! he's hostel of Simon, a tanner, by the sea, and he shall speak to you when he comes here. 33 Therefore I sent immediately a message to you, and you did well that you came. Now are we all present before God to hear all that is required of you, Lord. 44 While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all them which heard the word. 45 And all the believers of the circumcision who had come with Peter were astonished that the Holy Ghost had been poured out even over the Gentiles, 46 for they heard them speak with tongues and praising God. 47 Then answered Peter, Mon anyone can deny them water, so they should not be baptized who have received the Holy Spirit just as we do? 48 And he commanded that they should be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. They asked him to stay there some days.

Cornelius was a devout man and had his life and testimony have smooth membership in all parishes and churches I know of, but he was not born again. It was he who came into the wedding hall, without the right robe on, he was thrown out.

Matt. 22. 11 Now when the king went in to see them sitting at the table, he saw there a man who had no wedding garment. 12 And he said unto him, My friend! how have you come in here and have no wedding garment? But he remained silent. 13 Then the king said to the servants, Bind hand and foot on him and cast him into outer darkness! There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Without a wedding garment is all lost. How can one as a wedding garment? We read about Cornelius that Peter would speak words - words of Jesus - so that he and his house might be saved. It is through preaching the Word we are saved. Then when we accept the message - we are born anew to a living hope in Jesus Christ.

Rooms. 10. 8 But what says it? The word is near thee, in thy mouth and in thy heart: that is the word of faith, which we preach, 9 if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you shall be saved: 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

Confess Jesus before men - it makes a difference

Matt. 10. 32 Every one therefore who shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before My Father in heaven, 33 but whoever denies me before men, him will I also deny before my Father in heaven.

When we confess Jesus before men, then there is a transformation. We are saved and born again. It is when we believe that Jesus died for our sins and in our place, and confess it. Then there is a new birth, we become children of God, it teaches the writing.

Joh. e. 1 11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not. 12 But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become children of God, to them that believe on his name: 13 and they are born not of blood, nor of the flesh, nor the will of man but of God .

It's simple - but difficult

To be saved, is simple. Jesus has done everything, it's no more to do. But we must humble ourselves and it is difficult. It was exactly what Naaman had to do, humiliate them. He believed that the rivers of the Jordan was as good if not better than those in Israel. But the prophet's words were clearly bell, so it is with salvation in Christ Jesus, there is only one way to salvation, that we must bow down.

2. Kong. 5. 1. Naaman, the Syrian king's army, had much to say of his master and was highly respected, because by him the Lord had given Syria says, he was a very man of war, but the leper 9 So Naaman came with his horses and his chariot and held at the door of Elisha's house. 10 And Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying, Go and wash yourself seven times in Jordan! And thy flesh shall come again to thee, and thou shalt be clean. 11 But Naaman became angry and went away and said I thought he would come out to me and stand and call upon the Lord, their God's name and bring his hand back and forth over the sore spot and take away the leprosy. 12 Are not the rivers of Damascus, the Abana and Pharpar, better than all the waters of Israel? I could not bathe myself in them and be clean? And he turned and went away in anger. 13 But his servants came back and spoke to him and said, My father! If the prophet had commanded you something very, would you not have done it? How much more when he says to you: Bad thee, and thou shalt be clean! 14 Then he went down and dipped himself seven times in Jordan after the God's word, and his flesh became again like a little boy, and he was clean.

Through Jesus, we are just as clean and perfect before God as his

Through Jesus, we are just as clean and perfect before God as him when Jesus purity, righteousness and perfection becomes ours. We who were sinners, defiled and lost. Unable to help ourselves and hopelessly lost, all the rights and the possibility that Jesus within its God. Then through Jesus, just like Mephibosheth had grace in spite of all the evil that his family had done. To treat the Lord's, we have grace instead of judgments and claims when we come to Jesus with our sin.

2. Sam. 9. 1. David said, Is there yet any of Saul's house, so I can do well against him for Jonathan's sake? 2 Now there was in the house of Saul a servant whose name was Ziba, he was called David, and the king said to him: Are you Ziba? He said, Your servant is he. 3 Then the king said, Is there yet any house of Saul, that I do God's kindness to him? Ziba answered, It is still a son of Jonathan, who is lame in both feet. 4 The king asked: Where is he? Ziba answered, He is in the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel in Lo Debar. 5 Then King David sent bids and fetched him from Machir, Ammiel son's house in Lo Debar. 6 And when Mephibosheth son of Jonathan, Saul's son, came to David, he threw himself down on his face. And David said, Mephibosheth! He said: Here is your servant. 7 David said to him: Be not afraid! I want to do well against you for Jonathan thy father's sake and give you back all of Saul your father's land, and you should always eat at my table. 8 Then he threw himself down and said, What is thy servant, that you let your eyes fall on a dead dog like me? 9 So the king called to Ziba, Saul's servant, and said to him: All that pertained to Saul and all his house, I have given your master's son. 10 And thou shalt till the land for him, you and your sons and your servants, and the harvest for him as your master's son may have bread to eat, but even to Mephibosheth, your master's son, always eat at my table. Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants. 11 Then said Ziba unto the king, Your servant will do all so that my lord the king commands his servant. But Mephibosheth shall eat at my table as one of the king's sons [said King]. 12 Mephibosheth had a young son named Mica, and all who lived in the house of Ziba were servants to Mephibosheth. 13 But even Mephibosheth lived in Jerusalem, for he ate continually at the king's table, and he was lame in both his feet.

Jesus' grace is equally

We will never earn God's grace, it gives us unmerited by faith and desire to have it. Jesus and the Father is there and welcome us with open arms, and we will grace just like Mephibosheth was in King David. He was lame in both feet but was still eating the same food as the King. So great is the grace of Jesus, we are all, without being able to earn and work for it. The same grace that Mephibosheth was in King David.

Will you be saved?

Pray this prayer: Father in Jesus' name I come within its you. Take me just as I am and cleanse me in your Son's precious blood. Make me a new creature in Christ Jesus. Give me your spirit, cleanse me and make me whole and new!
Thanks for that I am now your children dear Father, you love me and I love you. Thank you for that now I am your child and I will confess you to all people. Help me to remain in Jesus' grace and live up to comfortable and now the sky one day and live together with you forever. Save my family and velsing all people in Jesus' name!

Finally, we sing together with Pelle Karlsson: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6wTtUcvkT4

So great är Jesus Kärlekens, found no words. So obeskrivlig the grace He Visat against us. Oh it är true, he sorts me.

1. Vad dispensed Happened to Jesus integration älskat. Vad dispensed Happened without His grace? Vad dispensed Happened to Jesus integration offrade his life. Oh it är true, he sorts me.

2. He came från glädjen with his Father. Train plats in gloomy människorader. För att visa's kärleksmakt, he offrade his life. Oh it är true, he sorts me.

Nr. 171: Solveig Leihaug is re-married and also her former husband, Ken Henderson after divorce married again!

Nr. 171:

Solveig Leihaug is re-married and also her former husband, Ken Henderson after divorce married again!

One of the most famous Christian singers are now oppatgift. She sings and acts still, when the Christian Norway awake? This is to accept Satan's deeds and be involved in them.

What is right?





That is right, is that she will never get acting and being in a Christian scene when she fails, abilities and are able to control their own lives. Here is the writing clear.

1. Tim. 5. 8 But if any provide not for his own, and most of his household, he hath denied the faith and is worse than an infidel.

Exploration Haugs X husband oppatgift

According to the Soldiers for Jesus / Heart Strings Int'l Board's statement on the disclosure side of Solveig sites, they were divorced. Courts in Colorado Solveig granted sole custody of the couple's three children, 3 March, 2008. Also on Solveig's website is an announcement for her upcoming wedding to widower Jim Chaffee 30 May, 2009. Solveig is now by her maiden name Exploration Haug. Ken Henderson was married to Beth Burrows 27 November, 2009.

Totally obscene

Both are, of course, "innocent" signs and both are now remarried after the divorce. Inviting Solveig Henderson to sing and participate in meetings and concerts is to legitimize the sin and the works of the flesh!

Former husband also re-married

Ken Henderson was married to Beth Burrows 27 November, 2009. In other words, there's now no possibility of reconciliation when they both are re-married. Fine, but when a head is not interested in following God's word, then to be a Word handmaid as Solveig L. should be, is really stepping on the word of God with his life. The problem here is not primarily because she is married again, but she's still on stage and act as a Christian artist and evangelist. This is not the Bible, though, she had been sitting on the last bench and kept silent set could not say anything because she has only responsible for themselves and the living God. But since she want to remain in the forefront and on a platform, makes it completely different.

Our life says more than 1000 words

When one is unable to live like the font teacher, but in opposition to God's word, then is one to litter and spread a gospel of his life. This is shabby and those who invite her, they are helping to open up the probe and what he stands for.

Homosexual and lespiske

Many believers are so supposedly against homosexuals and lespiske, it is good. But it is as much sin and adultery to be re-married like this. It is the same God and it is in the same Bible that remarriage, and homosexuality is a sin!

What is the solution?

The solution is simple and clear. That Solveig Henderson as a private person attending meetings is quite all right. But it is not good, is to invite her to have meetings and concerts when she lives to God's word and God's word speaks of a man should not be re-married to possess a spiritual service and a spiritual office!

Church of God imitates the world

The low standard non believers do for the day, it "emits" the church of God. The only difference is that the "Christians" do not accept the sin away. But like a little later also accepts the "believers" everything! The church today is in the process of being conformed to the world.

The complaints 1 8 Jerusalem has sinned greatly and so has become unclean; all who honored her despise her, for they saw her nakedness, she sighed and turned away. 9 Her filthiness clung to her skirts, she did not think about what end it would take with her when she fell down in a strange way, no consoling her. Lord, see my misery! The enemy has triumphed. 10 The enemy laid hands on all her precious things, for she saw pagan nations enter her sanctuary, those you had forbidden to enter in your church.

The heathens are come into the church complains Jeremiah. Today, "believe" one in Christ but live like the heathen, if not worse.

Who will win who?

If we win the world? The church is almost exactly the world in the way of life and attitude. This we now see is Satan who is the head of the church is not Christ!

Solveig Henderson Exploration Haug

She can sure be a nice and pleasant lady, but she does not live according to God's word, that is what I oppose and that the writing speaks so strongly against.

The top of an iceberg

I do know there are a thousand other sins. But these sins of remarriage and remarry, it is visible and one can "measure" it. Why is it so important that one does not open up for remarriage in the church of God, then in particular among the leaders in the church of God.

1. Tim 5 24 Some people's sins are evident, and precede them to the verdict, but in others they follow after. 25 Likewise, and the good deeds obvious, and that it is not so with, but not hidden.

This with remarriage is "visible" sins, but when we do not grab hold of them, what with all the others? Satan has greatly want the whole Christian world that accept remarriage, especially the Protestant part of Christendom.

She is so kind

There are those who believe that if some is good, then they are exempt from following God's word. No one has immunity to the word of God. Solveig L. is a vulgar and bad role model. She has shown and that she has bad decisions. That is why she will not be in service!

A servant of the Lord \ servant should only be married once as believers

When we study God's word, then we find out is clear that both the old covenant, the new covenant in the coming 1000 year kingdom so they will serve the Lord with a "platform" service not be re-married as believers. This I have written about before and not repeat myself but posting links for this topic.

The problem is not the one who points out that

The problem is not one to point this out, but there are those that open up for this and those who live as remarriage, as a Christian. The world's children shall take and give to her is bad, but it is when the believer does this, which calls on the wrath of God full measure. What it is to sin against God's spirit? What is the sin unto death? It's bl. a to accept remarriage, especially those who have a "platform" service.

Nr. 170: Norway will not be spared!

Nr. 170:

Norway will not be spared!

1. Pet. 4. 17 For it is now time that the sentence should begin with the house of God, but it begins with us, what will be the end for those who do not want to believe the gospel of God? 18 And it is just difficult saved, where shall it be of the wicked and the sinner? 19 Therefore, and those after the will of God must suffer, commit their souls to a faithful Creator, as they do good.

Norway is at today, the world's best nation to live in

Norway is at. Today, the world's best nation to live in for what the UN thinks, something they have been for several years. And I think we are so happy, but there is no guarantee of not experiencing God's justice and discipline.

The believers have failed

Above all, there are the believers who have failed in most areas. But we also have "succeeded" in several areas, but it is years ago. Bl. a Norway has been the country that has sent out many missionaries by population in the last 100 years in conjunction with Sweden. This has been brought to a huge blessing over us, but now much changed!

Jan Hanvold and Visjon Norway

I have illustrated apostasy among the believers in Norway when one can almost with open arms to accept the way I see it, the biggest mega-crook little Norway has fostered. Worse than any that I know of, as witness the one thing, the church is ripe for ruling!

The non-believers ask themselves in a very bad light

There are many things and areas that those who do not profess publicly to Jesus also ignore their conscience and God's word. Have scissors slightly from Søkelys.no that I put out, which illustrates and explains this:

Do extreme weather is God's verdict on Norway

The unusually strong storm now affecting large parts of northern and western country has created chaos and power cuts everywhere says police urge people to stay indoors. The storm that struck on Christmas Day in the North-West Coast has created major problems and there are reports of major damage. It has not yet been reports of injuries but a lot can happen during the evening and night. "Things and objects blowing around the streets and trees have fallen across power lines and no one has yet track of how much damage Hurricane Dagmar has brought with him, said police had their hands full throughout Sunday evening. The powerful storm joins the ranks of the extreme weather conditions that have hit Norway in recent years, and we believe the messianic believers Dominiquae Bierman is what we see now is simply God trying to get our country in the speech: "The Norwegian people through their attitude to Israel left the God's blessings said the messianic believers Bishop Dominiquae Bierman who visited Norway earlier this year. According to the Jesus believing Jew who leads "KAD_ESH MAP Minestries" God will use extremes to try to get the Norwegian people's voice because we have turned away from His ways and commandments. "Norway is in the" Judgement valley "because of our hateful attitude toward Israel, Bierman said earlier this year.

The verdict of Norway is imminent if we continue to condemn Israel
"Norway in the Valley of Judgement"

24 hours after Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Støre visited Utøya where he and the young from AUF discussed the upcoming Norwegian recognition of the NOK of a Palestinian State, Norway was hit by terror. The Messianic believers Bishop Dominiquae Bierman conjures now Norwegians to repentance and humiliation since Norway is now located in what she calls the "Valley of Judgement." It was during a meeting in a small fellowships in Trondheim that the Messiah faithful Jew brought his serious message for the Norwegian people. "Our nation is, according to the woman's prophetic message lulled into a deep sleep, we must wake up from.
The Norwegian people as a nation on a collision course with the Holy God and we live in a time where we will either get a deep and genuine repentance or weakening, and to feel how it is to live as one nation, under God's wrath. The Messianic believers Dominiquae Bierman who recently visited Norway is just one of several that are now warning that Norway has stepped out of God's blessing. According Dominiquae Bierman's all extreme weather we are experiencing is a sign that God is now trying to get Norway to speak through weather phenomena we have never seen before.
- Norway has been naive and God's patience is finally
If the wicked will grace, so he learns not righteousness. In the straight country he does wrong, and he does not see the Lord's sovereignty. (Isaiah 26.10)
"The Norwegian people have been incredible naive in relation to the Middle East and Palestine conflict," says the Israeli prophet who recently visited Norway. Although the Norwegians through television and newspapers have been able to read about the hundreds of bloody Palestinian terrorist attacks against Israel, in fact, the Norwegian government thought that they did the right thing by stepping an incomplete and now dead "Oslo Agreement" down the head of the Jewish state.
"Norway did not take part in the Oslo Agreement of money, power or oil, but because they thought they did the right thing. They kissed tube and was not aware that they kissed a poisonous snake," said Dominiquae Bierman in his message, and continued: "Therefore has Yahweh had patience and mercy with them. But Yahweh says to you that now is the time over. It is imminent now, the verdict in Norway. The hose is now ready to attack in Norway in the form of Islam and global warming , which is a "global warning." Yahweh uses the weather to meet such things. " turn the messianic bishop fixed.
- Norway has to give its recognition to the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas taking sides with Israel's enemies and God's Word says clearly that Yahweh (God) will bless those who bless Israel and curse those who curse Israel. "(Genesis 12:3)
"Especially in America we have seen serious natural disasters and other dramatic events that have occurred within 24 hours after the serious negative agreements with Israel has been signed. Examples include Hurricane Katrina that devastated New Orleans, 22 / 9 and as in 2001 when the twin towers fell, and the large oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico in the spring of 2010, "because the U.S. went out with something that was negative for Israel." Sa Dominiquae Bierman in his prophetic message to Norway.

Norway during sentence

"The first serious attack on Norway was a little over a month ago the government quarter and Utøya the 22 / 7 Only 24 hours before this, said the Norwegian foreign minister and the young people on Utøya a declaration on anti-Israeli policies and support for Palestine," says the messianic bishop urges Norway to a true and genuine repentance.

We are guilty and let us give God right!

Woe to those who go on a guilt lies with the rope and the sin of vognrep,

More than 500 000 unborn children have been killed since the Norwegian Parliament adopted fetal homicide law in 1978. Spirit of the Lord will ask us to account for these children's lives because abortion is murder and violation of the Fifth Commandment.

The Christian church anno 2011 has completely forgotten the struggle for the child in the womb. While the 1980 and 1990's were characterized by Ludvig Nessa and Borre Knudsen's desperate battle against the abortion law in the last 8-10 years have been marked by silence, impotence and indifference. The silent scream has become the forgotten scream but the Lord hears the cry yet from the many who were killed before they were born. The truth is that God will hold its people accountable for what can best be defined as a betrayal of the unborn life. In the U.S., Christian campaigners never given up his fight against injustice, but this country has long since rusted sword in its sheath with an irresolute Christianity who are terrified of being controversial.

Under the ban

The politicians who in 1978 introduced the wicked law is under God's wrath and curse, because they have adopted an illegal as contrary to God's commandments. When Parliament introduced the abortion law in 1978 was in fact a majority of the Norwegian people against abortion, but after 33 years, people tragically NOK reversed. Even among many Christian congregations, it is now almost ok to kill the child if it is an unwanted pregnancy. God's Word says: "Woe to those who are unjust laws and issues the pernicious writings." Labor and Gro Harlem Brundtland was the driving force for the introduction of fetal murder and carries a great responsibility for the 500 000 victims of the grotesque abortion law. In 1907, said Lebesby man that the Lord complained because the Socialists had succeeded in drawing people into sin and wickedness.

Marriage desecrated in the country
Norway was one of the first countries to introduce a marriage that equate gay relationships with the biblically ordained marriage as between a man and woman. After a relatively short period of church and Christian resistance, the current marriage law has been universally accepted, and a lot of churches have even introduced ritual to give gays and lesbians God's blessing into a relationship with the Bible defines as sin. However, the Holy Spirit keep every Christian, every pastor and every church institution responsible because they choose to bless the Lord describes as something unclean and abominable.

"Woe unto them that call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!"

Hatred of Israel abound

After the wave of sympathy for the Jews after the Holocaust ceased, Norway has gradually become one of the most anti-Israeli country in Europe. Again and again condemns Norwegian politicians and the media to the Jewish state and Gaza war in 2008 we saw the Norwegians' true face and attitude to Israel. In several cities there were anti-Israeli demonstrations in Oslo, there were riots in the streets. The Norwegian Jew hatred rolled out in full and the case was not helped by the prominent Norwegian politicians by far participated in the madness. Politician voices Kristin Halvorsen and former Prime Minister Kaare Willoch has undoubtedly helped to stir up a antisemittistisk atmosphere in Norway. This is also something that has been noticed in the heavenly world.

In Syria are daily dozens of civilians killed by Bashar Assad brutal regime without the Norwegians demonstrate or react with anger. Why does not the bloodbath in Syria the same anger and rage?

And the Lord said: Complaint The cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is indeed great, and their sin is indeed exceedingly large.
Now I will come down and see if they all ways have acted like the sound of the cry that has come up to me, and if not, I know.
So the men turned away and went toward Sodom. But Abraham was still standing before the Lord. (Genesis 18.20-22)

Biblical account of the verdict of Sodom and Gomorrah are a warning to any nation who commit sins of Sodom. The almighty and holy God who sees and knows all things have seen how they are doing well with our country:
"Hear the word of the Lord, ye children of Israel: for the LORD has a case against those who live in the country, because there is no truth and no love and no knowledge of God's country.
They swear and lie, murder and steal and commit adultery. The danger presented by violence, and murder follows murder.
Therefore shall the land wither, and all who dwell therein shall languish, both wild animals and birds, yes, even the ocean's fish will be destroyed. "
A verdict of Norway is inevitable unless the country and do penance and return to the Lord with all his heart. Any Christian pulpit that does not dare to proclaim the truth about sin, Judgement and justice are under God's curse because they do not dare to tell the truth to people. A few too many preachers and priests dare no longer to preach the whole counsel of God for salvation and the Holy Spirit's presence in the meetings have been replaced by the charismatic turbidity manipulated out of the praise that is repeated indefinitely, techniques, and even New Age characterized kundalini force. Other pulpits are fronted by liberal theologians who use the pulpit to promote disbelief! Hundreds of believers gather around preachers who promise "gold and green forests" and even selvbestaltede "healers" and "Simonian planners" who make money on the gift of God is accepted in many churches. Svein Magne Pedersen and Tom Roger Edvardsen are examples of such.

"Cross in the flag and greed in the heart"

I heard the voice of God say: "You have the cross in the flag, but the filth and greed in the heart," and God is known as the heart that counts and not the external symbolism. What was really Sodom sin? The picture that the Bible draws of Sodom is a picture that might as well be signed by Norway. Just as with Sodom, Norway is a country characterized by sexual perversion, adultery, fornication, adultery and homosexuality. Like the people of Sodom is also the Norwegian people accepted homosexuality as an accepted way of life and in the same manner as in Sodom time promoting one now proudly sin and calls for Christian acceptance of which the Bible clearly condemns: "The expression on their faces testifies against them. If their sin, they speak openly as the people of Sodom, they hide it not. Woe to their souls, for the causes themselves accident! " (Jes.3, 9)

Nr. 169: I have absolutely no confidence in the Norwegian Christianity!

Nr. 169:

I have absolutely no confidence in the Norwegian Christianity!

Much of the preaching I have heard, been raised with and that it is taught today is really no positive spiritual value for most people, it lacks substance, content and direction!

The preaching that is common today brings you not be spiritual in the great and all, it leads you more to drop than revival. You will end in destruction t.o.m. If you blindly believe and let yourself be guided by much preaching today. These are harsh words, no doubt. But a lot of preaching has led you away from Christ and God's word, not to Christ and God's word.

Jesus said we would see the fruits

Matt. 7. 13 Enter by the narrow gate! for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction and many there be which go in thereat: 14 for the gate is narrow and the way is narrow that leads to life, and few there be that find it . 15 But beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves! 16 By their fruits shall ye know them: Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 17 So every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears evil fruit. 18 A good tree can not bear bad fruit, and a bad tree can not bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down and cast into the fire. 20 Therefore shall ye know them by their fruits.

The Christian life is there to be results oriented in a positive and spiritual way. We know, of course, not always what will succeed and we succeed. But when we see and feel that today's gospel creates and produces a scale, and a falling away from God's word, then we know that there is something, or to say much that is not true and is correct! Jesus said it himself: "By their fruits shall ye know them."

I will mention five things that today's preaching is missing and I miss. And that makes the church feel more of a spiritual condition as Laodicea and Philadelphia state that we read in Revelation about the book.

1) Lack of direction.

2) Lack of cost.

3) Those minimum standards are spiritual leaders.

4) It is diplomacy that govern church life.

5) There is fear and not love that binds many church together.

1) Lack of direction.

In order to achieve something, one must have a direction, so also in the spiritual plane.

Word. 29.18. Without revelation the people tøilesløst, but happy is he who keeps the law.

We need revelation and a purpose for what we are doing. When Northug, Bjørgan and all other athletes train it to be the best and be the best when it comes. We need to transmit on the spiritual plane. We will also be "best" and "best" when it comes. We will be standing after having defeated everyone and especially Satan and our own flesh.

Eph. 6. 10 For the rest - be strong in the Lord and the power of his might! 11 Put on the whole armor of God unto you, that ye may stand against you, the devil's wiles; 13 Take therefore the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and stand after having done all.

2) Lack of cost.

It does not help with a big vision, if one eats poorly. For all athletes in order to achieve maximum they have found out something that should have shown long ago that diet plays a crucial importance. And then one should not just eat. But one needs to eat also what you will achieve results. A weightlifter can not eat what a marathon runner needs and vice versa. This is also in the spiritual area. God's words are like food, we need to be nurtured at every day and throughout their lives.

Matt. 4. 4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.
1. Pet. 2. 2 and longing that newborn children after the unadulterated spiritual milk, that ye may grow by it to salvation.

3) Those minimum standards are spiritual leaders.

Now in the end times to one in a certain way could not desire and would have the truth. Why is it important to be open that it will sneak into wolves in sheep's clothing. Paul says that after my departure, the following happens:

Acts 20. 29 I know that after my departure shall grievous wolves come in among you, not sparing the flock, 30 even among your own selves shall men emerge as leading perverse speech to entice the disciples after themselves.

It will be so bad before Jesus in some contexts, that can not be tha truth.

2. Tim. 4. 3 For the time will come when they will not endure the sound doctrine, but after their own lusts take themselves teachers in droves, because the itching ears, 4, and they shall turn away their ears from the truth and turn to adventure.

4) It is diplomacy that govern church life.

We look at the example of John the Baptist, he came forward unsent from God.

Joh. e. 1 6 It appeared a man sent from God, his name was John.

Today it becomes more and more a must and should have a Bible school, the right contacts, to have recognition of the all people. All this is in itself correct. But when God calls a person to service, without all this, there must and one should be open to this. God is much bigger than our human limits and what we assume. For God is our inner lives and our hearts, it is crucial for all of God's kingdom and God's church. The Lord is not like human beings, he sees the heart.

1. Samuel 16 7 But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, his tall stature; For I have rejected him, I do not see what people are watching, for man looketh on the outward, but the Lord looketh on the heart.

5) There is fear and not love that binds many church together.

When one is afraid and dare not say what one thinks and believes, because that hurts one and lose in some cases its position as the Evangelist, Pastor, etc. Then we know that there is fear and not love that keeps one up for the service. Fear of losing job is one of the reasons why so many people do not go on with God. Most preachers are never any "new" in the word of God, but stick to the familiar and known. Jesus, Paul, John, Peter and many others that we read about in God's word, they dry breaking with the "old" to go into the "new"! They did not fear or any other board, but they kept the word of God. For the first Christians were many things to break away to go on with God. Bl. a break for all the Jewish regulations and rituals, and remained only a few things of the law. There they remained for the law we read in Acts several places, they carried the costs to go with God.

Acts 15. 28 For the Holy Spirit and we have decided not to put any other burden on you than these necessary things: 29 that ye abstain from idols, and blood and things strangled, and fornication, and if I watch you for these things, it will go ye well. Farewell

God himself gave the first Christians these decrees, and when someone broke the regulations, so they were hard to correct said and they were considered to be among those who went against the free grace in Christ Jesus. The Apostle Peter did it once and was severely reprimanded.

Gal. 2. 11 But when Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him right up into his eyes, because it was brought accusation against him. 12 For before that some came from James, he ate with the Gentiles: but when they came he drew back and separated himself, for he was afraid of those who were of the circumcision, 13, and with him hypocrite and the other Jews , so that even Barnabas was carried away by their hypocrisy. 14 But when I saw that they went straight after the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas so everyone heard about it: When you are a Jew, live as a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you compel the Gentiles to live as Jews .

Even the Apostles way to stick to the word of God. There is no immunity for anyone, all we are subject to God's word, no one is exempt!

Have now gone through a number of aspects and points of why the church today is not what it should and could have been. What is the solution? It is that everything that is not right, it evened out.

Zechariah 4 4 And I answered and said unto the angel that talked with me, What is this, sir? 5 And the angel that talked with me, answered: Do not know what this is? I said: No, my lord! 6 Then he answered and said unto me, This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: Not by might, nor by power but by my Spirit, saith the Lord of hosts. 7 Who are you, the great mountains rising thee before Zerubbabel? Become a delete! He shall state the stone out from under the high cry, Grace, grace be with it!

This is when God's solution, he will even get to! The solution is to himself.

This is the solution:

1) That we have a clear direction in ministry and church life.

2) The spiritual diet is rich, so it should be and the whole counsel of God to salvation is preached

3) Those who are most practices are spiritual leaders and the training of new Shepherds when the older retreats.

4) There is love, unity and forgiveness that govern church life, not fear and diplomacy.

This is the opposite of what has gone wrong in Christian Norway. It does not help with a 1000-year history of Christianity when you have not followed the book. Have than a great cookbook and read the recipe, but after doing a like a want anyway. This is exactly what scripture warns against several places, but that is so difficult for us to live and succeed. Jesus would not have followers and sympathizers, but followers. What did Jesus say?

This is an article by David Wilkerson that he wrote just before Satan also got him off track. Begun is not finished, God calls us to keep it until the end and stay with him throughout his life. Also, when we approach the end of the road! Here I finally what Wilkerson wrote in 2004 before Satan got track of him.

What is Jesus Christ's true gospel? Even most non-believers know that the Bible contains four evangeliefortellinger, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. What is the core of the Gospels, or the "good news"? When we Christians speak of Jesus Christ, what is it we talk about?

Scripture provides several definitions of what this gospel is. And we will use these biblical definitions to determine whether the true gospel of Christ is alive in his own church.

Let's look at these definitions:

1. Jesus said his church carrying a cross and live in self denial.
The Lord said to Peter: "If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross and follow me." (Matthew 4:24 p.m.).

It is clear that to belong to Jesus' church means more than just believing in him. Many Christians today simply offer "Jesus' voice." Their attitude is "I voted for Jesus. It makes me a member of his party." But once they have cast their votes, so they go away and forget everything that has to do with his domination over their lives.

Jesus said to belong to his church means much more than that. It means to commit themselves to follow him. And it includes a life of self denial and taking up a cross. "And whoever does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of me." (Matthew 10:38).

Our Lord makes it clear: "If you are in my church, so be prepared to be persecuted for your faith in me. Be prepared to deny yourself all the fame, recognition, and the world's pursuit of pleasure. People are going to nail to a cross of condescension, a cross of alienation. And they will do because you hunger and thirst after me. If you belong to my church so it is certain that a cross will come. "

The fact is that Christ has never been accepted by the world. And it will never be. If you live for Jesus, you do not have to pull you away from other's company: they will pull away from you. All you need to do is live for him. Suddenly you will find that you are reproached, rejected and called evil: "... people hate you, and ... cast you out, mock you and throw their name from as evil for the Son of Man's sake." (Luke 6:22).

But he adds that this is the road that leads to true fulfillment: "For whosoever will save his life will lose it. But whoever loses his life for my sake shall find it." (Matthew 4:25 p.m.). In other words: "The only way you can find meaning in life is to give all your own for me. Then you will find true joy, peace and satisfaction." Christ tells us: "My church is without spot and wrinkle. So when you come to me you must be willing to put away all sin, you must surrender it all to me, die from yourself, from all wicked ambition and ego of . I believe you will be buried with me. But I will raise you to a new life. "

Think of what it means to be without spot and wrinkle. We know that a patch is something we've spilled on us, but what about wrinkles? Have you ever heard the phrase "a new wrinkle"? It means adding a new idea to an already existing concept. A wrinkle, in that context, referring to those who try to take advantage of the gospel. It suggests an easy way to win the sky, without a full surrender to Christ.

It is this kind of gospel that is preached in many churches today. Preaching is only aimed to meet people's needs. But when I read Jesus' words, I see that this kind of preaching is not enough. It does not perform true gospel work.

Not misunderstand: I am not opposed to preach comfort and give strength to the people of God. As a shepherd of the Lord, I am called to do just that. But if I preach to people's needs, and ignore Christ's call to lay down our lives, so will the true needs will never be covered. Jesus' words are clear: our needs are covered by that we die to self and take up his cross.

2. Christ Church is a place where sinners repent of their sins with heart and mouth.
Jesus declares: "My church is a place to repent openly and without shame." The apostle Paul states, indeed: "But what does it? The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart. It is the word of faith, what we preach. For if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and in your heart believe that God raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. "

"With the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed." (Romans 10:8-11).

Simply put it is we brought to salvation through our open confession that we have repented. Jesus says: "I came not to call the righteous but for sinners." (Matthew 9:1 | 3). And, he says, repentance is the source of our healing and restoration, "But Jesus answered and said unto them, It is not the healthy who need a physician, but those who are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. " (Luke 5:31-32).

Dear, this is good news. Jesus tells us that: "In my church is all healed through repentance. It does not matter who you are - they are physically degraded, the mentally ill, the spiritually sick. All they have to come to me in the same way. And all they will find healing through repentance. "

I ask you: how many churches still have their altars open to people with heart troubles, and that appears to repent? How many pastors have stopped giving invitations to this most important of all spiritual work? And how many believers have lost all sense of his need to confess sin?

So what is the central message of the gospel of Christ? He makes it clear through Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. In these four gospels he tells us: "This is the message I preach in my church. This is my message to all sinners."

First of all: "Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God. He said: The time is fulfilled and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent and believe the gospel!" (Mark 1:14-15). What was Jesus' first message? He preached repentance.

For some Christians, this sounds like sharp voice. They will say: "OK, but how strongly Jesus preached repentance?" Luke answers it in his gospel. Jesus said to his audience: "But if ye repent, ye shall all perish in the same way." (Luke 13:5).

Welcome to the church where there is sorrow for sin.
You can believe that Christ's gospel of repentance sound like a downer. But Paul says the opposite. A reverse heart lead the true life with him: "For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation, which no regrets." (2 Cor. 7:10).

Repentance was the core of the very first sermon after the resurrection of Christ. Peter told the crowd that had gathered at Pentecost: "Jesus of Nazareth ... was betrayed ... and you beat him to death as you nailed him to the cross by wicked hands." (Acts 2:22-23).

When the people heard this, they came under a strong conviction. The preached word stuck in their heart, because the Holy Spirit had come in all its force. And according to Jesus, this is precisely the Holy Spirit. He said that the Holy Spirit came to "convict the world of sin and of righteousness and of Judgement." (John 16:8).

The crowd was so affected that they could not move. Suddenly the question of life and death for them. Then they cried out to Peter and asked what to do. He answered them, "Repent, and let all of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins ... Save yourselves from this perverse generation!" (Acts 2:38, 40).

This section illustrates the conversion that even the core of Jesus' message. If there is no conviction in the message - no truths about sin and guilt, no sting in the heart - so is the Holy Spirit is simply not there. He is simply not present in such preaching.

I think of all the "conviction empty" preachers who are responsible for the souls of hundreds of thousands of Christians. Their meetings are nedlasset with sins and their iniquities crucify Christ daily afresh. It is absolutely tragic. What these people need is a message from a preacher who is not afraid to tell them that "you have sinned against Christ." But the very opposite happens. The people are actually maintained in their sins of pastors who compromise.

Ezekiel says of these preachers: "The lies do you do the righteous heart melt, and I've grieved him, and you strengthen the wicked hands, so he will not turn from his evil way, so I can let him live." (Ezekiel 13:22). The Prophet said: "You have done the righteous sad with its superficial preaching. And you've encouraged the sensual to sin even more, without shame. You have given them lies about the eternal life. No, you deprive these people of eternal life. You have done the grace of God into lascivious. "

Paul says that Judgement Day is coming soon. And for that reason we preach the gospel with even greater power to convince, as the day approaches. We must rebuke and exhort, and do it with patience and love. It really comes a day when every shepherd shall stand before the Lord and give account for everything he has preached. Did he do the righteous sorrowful? Strengthened he of the wicked hands? Or he presented the compelling word without fear, under a sacred anointing?

The fact is that Peter was not interested in insulting the crowd at Pentecost. His only purpose was to show them the truth. And when the Holy Spirit reveals the truth that gives it conviction. It penetrates deep into and investigate any area of ​​the heart.

It's sad but true that this is not happening in many churches today. Not only is the Holy Spirit is absent in such churches, but he is not even welcome. Our service will receive a letter after letter that repeats the same refrain: "I have a neighbor that I have testified to for months. He is going through a divorce ... she has an alcohol problem ... he has an affair on the side ..."

"So I take them to church and hope that they will hear a word about his condition and his need for the Lord. But my pastor never says a word about sin. There is never a word which gives syndenød that utmaler need for Jesus' cleansing, liberating power. So my neighbors go there even more confident in their sin. "

"What a tragedy, how sorrow it must make God more people are safe in their sins within the church than outside!

Other writes: "I attended a so-called 'sins friendly' church, but I can not do this anymore. Every week we get a questionnaire in hand asking us check how we liked the service. They want to know: 'Was the music too high ? Was drama pieces for long? Was the sermon funny? ' Pastor David, I go to church to find hope for my lost relatives. But instead, I asked to judge the entertainment. "

According to Jesus can not be freed from sin - no one is ever faced with the truth - without the Holy Spirit's compelling presence and power.

3. Christ Church is a place where you can expect to hear a harsh, disturbing message.
Imagine this scene when Jesus spoke to his followers: "This is the bread which came down from heaven - not as the fathers ate and died. Whoever eats this bread will live forever. This he said while he taught in a synagogue in Capernaum. Many of his disciples heard this, they said: These are hard words! Who can hear them? But when Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at this, he said to them: Do you take offense at this ? " (John 6:58-61).

Note that Jesus here was speaking to believers. What were the harsh words they reacted? It was: "You must eat my flesh and drinks my blood, otherwise you can not have life in you. My flesh is food and my blood is drink. And eternal life comes only through eating them."

The "sinner friendly" gospel says: "You can not preach that kind. Sinners will never understand it. Drink the blood and eat flesh? They would think we were barbarians. We must change the words to make them more appealing. Otherwise, it will encounter people, especially non-believers. "

In Christ's true church will be offensive words. Yes, in this church you will hear a message of good news, a gospel of love, with grace, mercy and patience. But in Christ there is also a message that one should not dare to tamper with. And the message includes the preaching of Christ's blood and his cross.

Jesus saw that people were shocked by his words. So he asked them, mainly. "I blow their feelings? Are you embarrassed that I'm telling the truth?" Then he says: "The words I have spoken to you are spirit and are life." (John 6:63). He made it crystal clear: "What you are offended by is the very message that gives life." How did his successors? "After this many of his disciples went back and walked no more with him." (John 6:66).

What Jesus says about his gospel here? He states simply that the message of his blood and his cross is offensive. Yet it is the only gospel that leads to eternal life. Although this is so, is there still some who will not accept it. "But there are a few of you who do not believe." (John 6:64).

These words of Jesus is manifested in many churches today. Amazing NOK so many meetings that have removed all references to Christ's cross in their meetings. Pastors mentions it in his sermons. Songs of the blood has been removed from the church. All of this is seen as being too offensive.

But he warned: "It does not matter how obscene my words seem to be for you. You can not change them. My word creates life. And you have to digest them as you do with food and drink, to let them flow into each fiber of your being. Therefore you should not wrap up what I say in cotton. If you remove the blood and the cross of your preaching, so they cut you seeking from the only hope of eternal life. "

"The message of salvation through the blood can only be understood through the Holy Spirit. But it shall be served even if it is misunderstood. So stand up boldly and preach my gospel no matter what response you get. It is the only Word that saves."

We see a similar scene in Matthew: "He came to his home and taught them in their synagogue ... And they took offense at him." (Matthew 1:54 p.m., 57). Even Jesus' own disciples came to him and said that his message was offensive, "Do you know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this saying?" (Matthew 15:12). In this section, there were not people who were offended, but the religious leaders. The crowd received apparently what Jesus said. But the shepherds were furious.

If we belong to Christ we are going to hear strong, compelling message that encounters our flesh.
If you are in Christ then it will get tough message from the Holy Spirit. Why? Because the Spirit cries in us towards what we think, say or do that is of the flesh. Jesus says: "For from the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, fornication, theft, false testimony, slander." (Matthew 15:19).

But the character of every true follower of Jesus is that he submits to every word of Christ. This servant loves reprimand because of the result it produces in his heart. He sees the change it brings, and he knows that there is life for him.

Deep inside, this is also the reason why sinners come to God's house. It is not only to be expected as a new number in a large assembly. But it is to be found by God, because in his heart he knows he is doomed. His soul is at rest, and he has had too many sleepless nights. He wants answers, truth, real transformation, because he recognizes that he is on a journey to the pits of hell. And he does not need a believer or a minister who tells him that everything is just fine with him.

The culprit may, of course, be offended if he heard the gospel of Christ. He can get angry and stomp out. But he will not forget what he heard. And the Holy Spirit will use it to reveal the truth to him.

We have all learned that Christ is his own church cornerstone. Paul says that this cornerstone is also a stumbling block: "As it is written, Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone and rock of offense. Whoever believes in him shall not be ashamed." (Romans 9:33). Peter also calls Jesus a rock of offense, "But for the unbelievers is the stone which the builders rejected has become the cornerstone and stumbling stone and rock of offense. There are those who stumble in their disbelief at the word - it is also set." (1 Pet. 2:7-8).

Peter could tell you directly what happens if you try to get rid of the Cross message. He took offense when Jesus foretold his death to his disciples. "Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him, saying, God preserve you, Lord, this must never happen to you!" (Matthew 16:22).

But Jesus answered him with these penetrating words: "But he turned and said to Peter: Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block for me, for you have no taste for the things of God, but only for the things people to. " (Matthew 4:23 p.m.).

Here is an example of how Satan can plant a seduction even in a godly shepherd who loves Christ. And you can bet that Peter never forgot his Master's words. In the same way today, any servant and faithful heed Christ's warning: "My cross and my blood may offend you. But if you're ashamed of my message, or trying to reduce its content, then you are a stumbling block for me. This represents not my words or my church. "

4. In what way do you think Jesus would start a church in your town or at your place?
The first thing Christ would do was to go on a crying tour through your town. Scripture tells us: "When he came near and saw the city (Jerusalem), he wept over it, and said: Did you also, albeit only in this your day, what serves your peace! But now it is hidden from your eyes. " (Luke 19:41-42).

What was it that made Jesus to weep? It began with a heartbreaking journey he made across the city. He was overwhelmed with grief at the sight of so called religious people who had no peace. These people had rejected the truth in favor of adventure. And now followed a dead form of religion. They were sheep without true shepherds.

Now I'm not looking to judge some pastors or preachers. But I want to ask everyone who reads this message: Can you imagine your pastor drive through the place where you live and cry over it? What different picture Jesus gives us in relation to so many of those who design and plan to build churches today. These men go from door to door and ask people what they want in a church: "How long would you want that speech lasted? Fifteen minutes? Tues?"

Jesus saw something similar in his time. When he walked through the temple as he tables of the moneychangers, servants who negotiated with things to worship. There was no true prayer, no fear of the Lord. And Christ wept over it all and cried out: "It is written, My house shall be a house of prayer. But you have made it a den of thieves." (Luke 7:46 p.m.).

I ask you, Jesus would weep at what he sees in your church today? Would he find your pastor in need of lost souls? Or would you find that he made the profit on things that are holy in God's eyes? Would Christ find his people in prayer? Or would he find them busy in the bustle and programs focusing on their own interests? Once Jesus had finished his gråtetur around in your town would he rose his people? Or he would come with this warning: "You are blind to the time you live in. Judgement is at hand, but you are more like the world than ever before. Why ask ye, and seek me strength and wisdom to understand the times ? "
God help us never to thin out his gospel. If you have a pastor who preaches the true gospel, that I urge you, encourage him! And pray for him. Thank the Lord for their appointed pastors do not rely on celebrity preachers to draw people.

And be grateful that the Holy Ghost is allowed to do their work in their midst. When Jesus Christ is preached with conviction then the heavens open up and demons flee!

Nr. 168: A church's development!

Nr. 168:

A church's development!

1. Kor. 12. 28 And God put the church first few apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, of helping to control, various kinds of tongues.

A church has a beginning, an Apostle

A church starts with an apostle who preaches the gospel and heal the foundation of the church. The new people in the church and a doctrinal basis that the church should stand for and when. At the same time build on.

2. Kor. 12. 12 An Apostle signs were wrought among you in all patience, both with signs and wonders and miracles.

When the church has "set" the

So, both the prophets and teachers come to the right.

Acts 13. In Antioch, the church there, there were prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Mana, foster brother of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

Then comes the church into the "regular" forms

The church goes on, and it is important that the entire congregation to share in grace, activities and service offerings. This is vital for the spiritual life to flourish, or go into stagnation and decline. Then over a church, not a movement anymore.

Joh. Obvious. 2. 4 But I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.

My experience is that the church in no way have taken out their potential here in Norway. As the early church did, especially the church in Ephesus did. Read Ephesians and Acts 19-20. but even for the church came the decline and stagnation into. Therefore we must all ensure that this does not happen, that some or most people fall behind on the road. This is unfortunately all too often, I do not speak if they are saved, but that they do not serve God with the fullest potential.

The spiritual offices

Even if people fail and sometimes abuse their spiritual office, then the office still intact and functioning in the church.

This is from my commentaries Ephesians 4 7 Grace has given each of us according to Christ's gift will be measured.

This word is very important. Now we are all part of the grace and in a limited scope. We will also grace as we need it and that we are allotted, also from God's side. Rooms. 12. 3 By virtue of the grace I have received, I say to every one of you: Do you not bigger tanks than you should, but use your mind and be calm! Each one should stick to the measure of faith God has given him.

8 Therefore it says, He ascended on high and carried away captives, the people gave him gifts.

This is taken from Psalm 68 19 You step up to the height. You led captives with you and took gifts among men, yea, even among the rebels. Where would you live, O Lord God.
It was among the people God took the servants of his case, in life, even among revolt among them.

9 That he rose up, has to mean that he first descended in the depths of the earth.

In order for us to share in this grace. So one had to go ahead and track and open road. It was he who came down and laid off his Godhead Power and costume, the Son Jesus Christ.

10 And he that descended is the same as step up high above all the heavens to fill all.

He who came down and died a criminal's death, Jesus Christ. He also rose up everywhere for us to be where he is. First, in the Spirit, then also in the physical. The position we have today in Christ, we shall one day experience fully.

11 It is he who gave his gifts: He put some apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers.

The prophetic gift works by God's Spirit, who communicates to a Spirit-filled person who is open and able to let himself be used by God and who desires and longs to be used by the Lord.
I think the Apostle service when it involves to be issued. As the word apostle means: The word comes from the Greek word "Apostolos" (απόστολος) which means "one who is sent" [1]. The word implies that one is sent with a power of attorney and acts with authority on behalf of the person who sent one. This is in contrast to a messenger or herald who only performs a message on behalf of another.
In Latin Bibles is the word translated "missionary". The terms apostle and missionary in use today - and throughout church history - still on different functions, although it formally is the same word in two different languages. In some cases, however, an overlap between the functions of an apostle and missionary.
Prophet is speaking under the inspiration of God, to comfort, admonition and guidance!
Shepherd is to be a Pastor, Elder or Trustees. It is in these service tasks. Evangelist is pointing to Christ in the preaching, and that when they are not believers. Teacher gift is important, that we read several places in the word of God and the teachers will take care of God's word and bring balance into the church. Rooms. 12. 6 We have different gifts, according to the grace God has given us. Whoever has the gift of prophecy, use it as faith implies, 7 who has deacon service, to take care of their service. Anyone who is a teacher, to take care of the study, 8 and the right leader to take care of this: he who gives of his own, will make it an undivided heart. It is the Board, shall be with zeal, and it makes mercy, do it with joy.
God will never create the Lamb's Apostles again and Old Testament prophets who preach God's word all over again. The Apostles today, but not "pure" Apostles. The Prophets in the day, but not "pure" Prophets. There will be a part of their equipment and we find examples of both Apostles in the word of God as well as the 12, as the Prophets.
Here are examples of the Apostles: 1 Kor. 1.1. 12. 28. 9. 6 (Paul speaks Barnabas as an apostle like himself and Peter). Acts 14.14.
Here are examples of the prophets: Acts 11:27. 13.1. 21.10 and 1st Kor. 12. 28. And Acts 21. 10 We settled down here for several days, and then came down from Judea a prophet named Agabus. This is a prophet who was not among the apostles!

12 He did it to equip the saints so they can do their work, and the body of Christ may be built up,

Everyone must look at Jesus, not least those with a ministry and the task. How was Jesus? What would Jesus been saying it for a few years ago and it is as relevant and true today. In fellowship with the Father, he's instructions for their service and power from heaven. For the Son could do nothing of himself, he could only do what he saw the Father doing (John 5:19). For the Father loves the Son and shows him all he does (John 5.20).

13 until we all reach the device in the faith of the Son of God and the knowledge of him, and we are a mature man who has reached his full growth and have all the fullness of Christ.

At that preachers find each other, are repaired, develops and matures. So will it also work the same growth and development among the believers. We will grow to reach full growth and maturity in Christ.

14 Then we will no longer be immature, do not let us throw here and there and run with the wind from any doctrine, that we are prey for men fake games of error cunning tricks.

Paul encourages one to no longer be immature, but become mature. The maturation process is one from a stage to the next, but all the "steps" in our lives belong. We can not go to the next "ladder" until we have passed the "stairs" nedforbi. We must not look at all that we meet as the enemy forever, but it is part of our maturation, development and learn to distinguish the noble from the base.
2. Pet. 3. 18 Ye shall grow in grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Him be glory, now and forever! Amen.

15 We must be faithful to the truth in love and in all things grow up into him who is the head, Christ.

The truth is not only God's word, but a person. Therefore, we have something to learn from Jesus in the way also to convey the message. Jesus is the message, but his manner and the intellectual force he brought it up, it sounds even with our maturation.
Matt. 11. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn of me, for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden light. "

16 From him comes the whole body growth, it joined and held together by every supporting bands, depending on the task that is allotted each part, and so grows the body and is being built up in love.

From him the Christ at his word and Spirit in the first instance, it is our source of faith. Once this is in place in the believer's life begins a healthy development and maturation. However, maturation and development should also take out so that we have the ability, can and will do the Lord's work. Will this be a continuous and progressive process, as is the love of the Lord and one another crucial. We read in sending the letters in the book of Revelation about the well 30 years later that the church had failed because they had lost and abandoned his first love. It is not something to aspire, but take care!
My commentaries Revelation Book 2 4 But this I have against you, that you have left your first love.
Of all the churches in the church's 2000-year long history of the church in Ephesus, a pattern image for everyone in all parts. It is the church rather than someone else who has taken out the potential, ability and power that is in Christ. All the gifts that it's about to the Corinthians appeared in the church there and the church in Ephesus was no less effective in this regard. Paul founded the church and both Timothy was Paul's closest co-worker worked there. The Apostle John was also one of the church leaders who had Mary Mother of Jesus with them there and who lived and died there. When the congregation could trace of the Word of the Lord is ready for all of us.
1. Kor. 10. 12 Therefore if you think you are standing, watch out lest he fall! (End of quote).
