THE “SIN” QUESTION

Hear what the prophet of God preached about “SIN”:

”What is sin? Sin is unbelief. Drinking, smoking, gambling, committing adultery, that isn’t sin; that’s the attributes of sin. You do that because you’re NOT A BELIEVER."

"Sin is not a creation." There's nothing created but perfection. God created all things good. Sin is not a creation.
Said, "Well, that's the very creation of sin." You've heard that. But that's an error, Sin... There's only one Creator; that's God. God could not create sin, because He's holy and there's nothing in Him to make it.
Sin is Perversion, NOT Creation, but it's perversion.
An adultery is the righteous act perverted.
A lie is the truth told wrong. Any sin, any sin is righteousness perverted.”

“Sin is unbelief. Now, that’s what sin is. There’s no other sin but unbelief. It’s not a sin to do things like drinking and smoking and gambling and prostitution. That’s not sin. That’s the RESULT of sin, that the reason you do that is because you are a unbeliever. See? That’s the Attributes of Sin.”

“There never was such a thing as a creation of sin. That didn't go down good, did it? Sin is not a creation. No, sir. Sin is a perversion. There's only one Creator; that's God. Sin is righteousness perverted. What's an adultery? Righteousness perverted. What's a lie? The Truth Misrepresented. Certainly.
What's a curse word? It's God's blessings turned to a curse word, to God, instead of a blessing. Sin is not a creation. Sin is a perversion. So Satan could not create sin; he only perverted what God had created. That's exactly right. Death is only a perversion of life.”

“Like I said the other night about the hog, about the sinner. You can’t blame... A sinner’s a sinner; don’t try to reform him. Don’t try to tell him this, that, or the other. He’s a sinner to begin with. He’s a pig to begin with. He don’t know no different. If he goes to the movies, and he goes on Sunday, and he goes to ball games, and he does all these things; he’s a sinner to begin with. His nature’s like a hog. The old hog stick his nose down in the manure pile and eat all the grains out of it and everything. Well, he is a hog. You can’t blame him; he’s a hog. That’s the way with sinners. But when you go and call yourself a Christian and stick your nose in with him, then you’re no better than he is; but you’re WORSE, “Come Out From Among Them.” Let go of the world. Let go. Let God.”

“Remember, I said, “God does not condemn a sinner for sinning.” He’s a sinner to begin with . He condemns a Christian for Sinning. And then because He has condemned him, Christ took our condemnation. So there’s no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, that walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. And if you do anything wrong, it isn’t willfully. You don’t sin willfully. A man that sins willfully, goes out and willfully sins, never come into that Body "YET". But a man that’s once in there, he’s dead, and his life is hid in God through Christ, sealed by the Holy Ghost, and the devil can’t even find him; he’s so far back in there. He would have to come out of "THERE" before the devil can ever get in, for you are dead. “

“And I said that I don’t condemn the drunkard for going out and getting drunk. He’s all moody; he don’t know. He gets up the morning; he’s got the blues, a hangover; goes out and gets him two or three bottles of beer; goes out and gets him some whiskey, and all of that kind of stuff. Little old cigarette sucker sets back and smoke and blow it through his nose like he was a freight train. That’s all...?... I don’t blame him; that’s all the "JOY" he knows; that’s all he knows about. He’s a pig by nature.”

“The church comes in and adopts other things. They have to have a little party where they all lay on the beach to have recreation: a card party to get-together for fellowship. That’s right, have a dance sometime at one of the member’s house, sometimes in the church basement. A dance, adopting, trying to get something to SATISFY, 'what’s the matter? They’re a bunch of pigs anyhow.
They’re pigs to begin with. If it ever come in contact with Christ, they’d have so much joy, those things would be "Deader" than "Midnight" to them. Gospel, drunk on the Spirit, joy unspeakable and full of glory...

Don’t condemn the sinner. Have mercy on him. Let him go ahead and smoke his pipe. Let him drink his liquor. Let him have his card parties; that’s his "PLEASURE." Don’t blame him. Coming home and everything, tired and wore out, he wants some pleasure. The thing for you to do is LIVE SUCH A GODLY LIFE THAT YOU CAN PROVE TO HIM THAT THE GOSPEL HOLDS TEN THOUSAND TIMES MORE THAN THAT FOR HIM.
And if he dies in that state he’ll go to hell on his liquor. That’s the devils intoxication. If he dies Dragging on that Old Pipe, God’s his Judge. If he dies going out here dancing and running around with "Immoral Clothes On", God’s their Judge. But there’s one thing, if you die Under The Anointing Power Of The Holy Ghost Like Stephen Did When He Looked Up In The Face Of God, said, “I See Heavens Opened And Jesus Standing At The Right Hand.” You are Heaven-Bound like a martin to its box. Amen.

THE CHRISTIAN MINISTRY TODAY Once again, a warm welcome to all Bible Believers in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Ephesians 4:8 "Wherefore when he ascended on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. And He gave some, Apostles; and some, Prophets; and some, Evangelists; and some Pastors and Teachers; FOR THE PERFECTING OF THOSE WHO ARE ALREADY SAINTS (or Born Again) FOR THE WORK OF THE MINISTRY, FOR THE EDIFYING OF THE BODY OF CHRIST: TILL WE ALL COME IN THE UNITY OF THE FAITH, AND OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE SON OF GOD, (ie. Revelation 10:7,) unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: that we henceforth be no more children, Tossed to and Fro, and carried by every wind of doctrine, (from Denomination to Denomination,) by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; but speaking the truth in love, may grow up into Him in all things, Which is the Head, even Christ: from Whom the whole Body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the Body unto the edifying of itself in love." Today's conception of a minister is of a man or woman busy 25 hours a day organizing Famine relief, Soup for the poor, Administering homes for orphans and Delinquents, Counselling, Running symposia on narcotic, Drug alcohol and Tobacco abuse, Administering retirement homes, Hospitals, Schools and Universities, Fund raising, Directing investment portfolios and Myriad activities God NEVER ordained. While these are all noble vocations for Christians who feel so led, God NEVER instructed His Church or His ministers to engage in such activities. And presumption is to venture without authority, without faith (Deuteronomy 18:20-22; Revelation 22:18-19.) The other day, a fine church-goer was trying to persuade me that God has ordained women as missionaries and preachers throughout the history of the Church. I said, "But God and the Word is the "SelfSame" Spirit and the Word condemns it." He protested and began naming names of women he said had won many souls to Christ. If they did or were instrumental, that does not make them right and the Bible wrong. They were presuming, trying to do God a service WithOut it being His Will. God "winked" at this ignorance during the Church Ages when the Book was Sealed and Christ was a Mediator. He will NOT overlook this in these last days. The End-Time Bride is without Spot or Wrinkle, under preeminence to God, and like Her Husband the Word has no mind but His (John 5:19.) TODAY, any woman who teaches, preaches, or usurps authority over a man proves she is NOT "Born Again", and is bringing a reproach to the Word. NO Christian would countenance her presumption or accept her "Authority." The "Church," so-called, has been presuming for centuries. Ministers think they are doing God a service with their carnal works programs. But without the Spirit, they cannot discern the Word. Instead of preparing SOULS for the Kingdom of God, they're catering for flesh and blood which cannot inherit the Kingdom, and actually building Satan's Eden here on earth. Remember Mary and Martha in Luke 10? Although both were believers who loved the Lord, Martha was so busy organizing worldly affairs she ignored the Word. The SAME trick of the Devil has ministers so busied in Worldly Pursuits, or Works Programs, they don't spend time alone with the Word and ignore God's Faith Program for TODAY. Paul warned us that in the time of the end, ministers and congregations would be WITHOUT Light, unrighteous, "and because they did not receive the Love of God, (Charity, the New Birth,) that they might be saved, He would send them strong Delusion, that they should believe 'the' lie." The SAME lie Satan told Eve: "God loves you Baptists, Pentecostals, Methodists, and Presbyterians so much, although you teach for doctrine the commandments of men, 'surely' He won't let you die". God does NOT love us all. Unless we are walking in the Light AS He is in It, we are NOT under the Blood, and must face the Judgment. Like Mary and Martha, all denominations love God, but they're so busy serving the world, doing what THEY think is a good idea, they ignore God's Word. They have NOT received His Voice for THIS day but Strange Reasoning AGAINST the revealed Word, and will be DAMNED because of it. Proof God does NOT love them (John 10:1-5; II Thessalonians 2:12.) Today's Protestants expect God to honor the "part-truth" they know Luther, Knox, Wesley, Spurgeon, etc., preached to their forefathers. When Christ saw faith in the Word for each age, He Overlooked Ignorance. Since the Seals have been revealed, He is no longer a Mediator and requires US to walk in the Whole Truth. The testimony of our denominational fathers will NOT baptize us into the Body today (I Corinthians 13:10; I John 1:7.) The ministry and the Church is built upon faith, NOT Good Works. God's twofold commission to His Church has not changed since Matthew 28:19. It is to preach the Word in It's season - which God will confirm with signs following, (notably regeneration) - and to baptize in the NAME of the Lord Jesus Christ. Ask yourself, "Do I know even ONE (1) minister who preaches the Word for THIS hour? Do I know what God's Word promises for THIS hour?" If the answer is, "No!" then there is a famine for the true Word and you had better search the Scriptures, for therein you think you have eternal Life; and these are they which hold the Answers. "GOD BLESS YOU"
JESUS SPEAKETH Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. Blessed are the Merciful: for they shall obtain Mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. Blessed are the Peacemakers: for they shall be Called the Children of God. Blessed are they which are Persecuted for Righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you Falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. [TAKE NOTE] Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one JOT or one TITTLE shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be Fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall Teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall Do and Teach them, the same shall be called Great in the kingdom of heaven. For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case ENTER into the kingdom of heaven. [ WARNING ] Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: But I say unto you, That whosoever is Angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, "Thou Fool", shall be in danger of hell fire. Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison. Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing. Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to LUST after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: But I say unto you, That whosoever shall Put Away His Wife, saving for the cause of Fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced Committeth Adultery. Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths: But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne: Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King. Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black. But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil. Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also. And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain. Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away. Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt Love thy Neighbour, and Hate thine Enemy. But I say unto you, Love your Enemies, Bless them that Curse you, do Good to them that Hate you, and Pray for them which Despitefully use you, and Persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to Rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the Just and on the Unjust. For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. MATTHEW 5:3-48
WORKS VERSUS GRACE

“Grace is what God did for me; works is what I do for God. Now, they’ll make a doctrine out of it; they think that works is what Wins your Merits. If it is, it isn’t a free gift. Grace is what God did for you; by grace you’re saved. And works is what you do in appreciation of the grace that He showed to you.

And if you love Him, you like to do the works of the Lord, certainly, because then, you love Him.”

“Now works are fine, but they don’t save you. They don’t make you perfect. It is Christ or perish. And it is not even Christ AND works. It is Christ alone.

This age began the years of Arminianism that does not believe in Christ as the REALITY. It does not sing of “Nothing But The Blood,” for it sings of “Nothing but the blood AND my own conduct”.

Now I believe in good conduct. If you are saved you will do righteously. We have already gone over that. But let me tell you now, Salvation is NOT Jesus PLUS. It is Jesus ALONE. SALVATION IS OF THE LORD. From start to finish it is all GOD.”

“Now works will never take the place of faith in God for our salvation. But works will show forth our faith already placed in Him. Good works won’t save you, but they will come forth out of a Saved Life as fruit unto the Lord.

I believe in good works. Even if a man is not saved, he ought to do good works and do the best he can. Yes sir, if you are a Christian you are going to do what is right. Your works will show that your heart is right. And it won’t be something that you put on, for you will do His will when no one but God sees you, and you will do His will even if it costs you your life.”

“Not eating meats, and doing this, and perfecting the body, you’ll never have it. And you’ve got to quit this, and do this, and do this, and do this, that’s law. That’s legalist. We don’t believe in the legal forms of salvation. We believe it “By Grace Are We Saved.” And it’s not you; you have nothing to do with it; it’s God’s election that does it. “No Man Can Come To Me Except My Father Draws Him.” That’s right.

All Jesus come to do was to get these that the Father foreknew and predestinated them before the foundation of the world to become sons and daughters of God. Amen. “Not Him That Runneth Or Him That Willeth, But God That Showeth Mercy.”

It’s God that does it. You can’t brag at all. There’s not a thing that you did; God, by grace, saved you, not you, yourself. If you do, you got something to brag about. But you haven’t nothing to brag. All praises goes to Him . It’s Him.
Then He’s give you this sure hope, Swore By An Oath, The Impossibility For His Children To Ever Be Lost.”


“So don’t you see, brother, sister, the whole thing is grace. All of it is grace. It’s not what you do anyhow. It’s what He’s already done for you.
Now, you can’t do one thing to merit your salvation. Your salvation is a GIFT. Christ became sin that you might become righteous. And He’s the right kind of a Chief Captain for our salvation, because He suffered just like we suffered. He’s been tempted just like we’re tempted. And He’s not ashamed to be called our Brother, because He knows what we go through with.
Oh, blessed be His Name.

And that’s the reason that Christ, God, had to become Kinfolks to us. And He come down and was a man. And He suffered temptation. And He was Laughed at, and made Fun of, and Persecuted, and Ignored, and called Beelzebub, and Scoffed at, and Suffered Death Under Capital Punishment. See, He had to be Kinfolks to us.
He had to be Falsely accused, because you’re Falsely accused.
He had to bear Sickness, because you’re Sick.
He had to bear Sins because it was your Sins.
And He had to become Kinfolks. That the reason He become this, that He might be Sympathetic with you who have your Ups-and-Downs and your little ins-and-outs, and your Temptations get so great you can’t hardly stand it. He knows how to Sympathize with you. He sets there to make intercessions. He sets there to Love you. And though you go Astray, He won’t Forsake you. He’ll still come after you and Knock at Your Heart.

There’s not a backslider in the building but what know that God knocks at his heart daily. And He will do it as long as you’re a mortal on this earth, for He’s loved you. He redeemed you.

“The law, the legalist (See?), “Aw, you have to do this. If you don’t do this, you’re not a Christian. And if you don’t keep the sabbath. If you don’t... If you eat meat. If you do these things,” all these legal ideas. “You’ve got to go to church. If you don’t, you pay a penalty for it. You have to do a novena.” That stuff is Nonsense!.

You’re saved by the grace of God, by the foreknowledge of God, by His predestination. God called Abraham by predestination, by foreknowledge. He hated Esau and loved Jacob before either one was born. That’s right. It’s God’s foreknowledge that knows these things.

You say then, “What’s the use of Preaching the Gospel?”
Now, I’ll say to you this: Jesus answered that; He said, “The Kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that went to a pond or a lake and throwed in the net. He pulled in. Out of there he had Turtles; he had Terrapins; he had Serpents; he had Lizards; he had Frogs; he had Spiders; he had Scavengers; he had Fish.”

Now, the man’s just seining. That’s like the Gospel. Here it is now. I’m preaching the Gospel. I just throw the net out. I pull it; I say, “All that will, Whosoever, let him come.” Here come some up at the altar; they all hang around the altar; they pray; they cry. I don’t know one from the other; it’s not my business; I wasn’t sent to judge. But there’s some in there that’s frogs. There’s some that’s lizards. There’s some that’s snakes. It’s some’s that’s turtles. And there’s some that’s fish. It’s not my business to judge.
I say, “Father, here’s what I pulled out.”

(BY MALACHI 4:5)
