EPIDEMICS
Parts Three and Four
(Written in 1996)
There is an epidemic of false christianity
In the guise of the true;
As the majority of professed christians are hypocrites
And not true Christians at all;
They don't even know what it means
To be a true Christian,
Since those who are, are far from hypocrites,
Because they are totally sinless and holy,
And the false christians refuse to believe
The Word of God clearly teaches
That they are either righteous and without any intentional sin,
Or they are evil and do not know God at all.
1 John 3:3-10:
"(. . .E)very man that has this Hope in him purifies himself,
(E)ven as He (Jesus Christ) is pure.
Whoever commits sin disobeys also the Law (of God):
(F)or sin is the lawlessness of the Law (of God).
And you know that He was revealed to take away our sins;
(A)nd in Him is no sin.
Whoever (truly) abides in Him sins not:
(W)hoever sins has not seen Him, or known Him.
Little children, let no man deceive you:
(H)e that does righteousness is righteous,
(E)ven as Christ is righteous.
He that commits sin is of the devil;
(F)or the devil sinned from the beginning.
For this purpose the Son of God was revealed,
(T)hat He could destroy the operations of the devil.
Whoever is born of God does not commit sin;
(F)or His seed remains in him:
(A)nd he CANNOT SIN,
(B)ecause he is reborn of God.
In this the children of God are revealed,
(A)nd the children of the devil:
(W)hoever does not live righteously is not of God,
(N)either is he that does not love his brother(. . .)"
Unconditionally and completely.
This is our only true Hope;
For if we don't prepare to very soon meet our Maker,
We will be thoroughly and entirely destroyed.
Therefore, what is your choice, to experience a new heaven
And new earth with no suffering or death of any kind,
Or to be absolutely destroyed for all eternity?
