![DO SEVENTH DAY ADVENTISTS, JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES, AND MORMONS PUT A CURSE ON THEIR FOLLOWERS? [2 of 4] Paul continues speaking about those who reject the free gift of salvation from Jesus by deciding to also base their salvation on even one tiny part of Old Testament law—by doing so they must take on the entire law: “For it is written, 'Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do EVERYTHING written in the Book of the Law.” Again, Paul is saying we would have to keep the entire list of Old Testament laws if we are going to put ourselves under even one part of the law. What's the problem with that? We can’t do it! No one can. Paul says this: "Clearly no one is justified before God
by the law.” How do our modern false teachers get around that? They can't. So, why are they still preaching this stuff today when it is clearly not from the Lord? Paul continues: "The righteous will live by faith." Not by works! Keeping the law is not basing your way to heaven on faith in Jesus. It is relying our own works—not what Jesus did for us. The Bible says, "The man who does these things will have to live by them." But Christ redeemed us from the curse by becoming a curse for us. The Bible says, "Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree." We hang ourselves on a tree when we take on Old Testament law, even though Jesus saved us from not being able to follow it perfectly. Of course, we still strive to live like Jesus out appreciation for what He did. God redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham would also come to the
Gentiles (you and I). He did so—by faith alone in Jesus Christ—that
we might receive the promise of the Spirit; not of the law! | image tagged in adventist,mormon,jehovah's witness,god,bible,jesus | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/5u2ooz.jpg)
![DO SEVENTH DAY ADVENTISTS, JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES, AND MORMONS PUT A CURSE ON THEIR FOLLOWERS? [1 of 4] Yes! According to Galatians, two thousand years ago Paul dealt with the heretical claim that making it to heaven supposedly takes two things: Jesus and following Old Testament Law. Unfortunately, two centuries later, this idea has been repackaged by false faiths like those mentioned above, yet Christians and others give them a pass on the same non-biblical teachings that Paul warned against. The apostle said this to the Galatian people, who are just like the followers of today’s religions that teach the same heresy:; "Have you suffered so much for nothing? Does God give you His Spirit and work miracles among you because you observe the law [No!]. Or, is it because you believe what you heard [about Jesus? Yes!] The Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles [non-Jews] by faith [in Jesus]… ALL WHO RELY ON OBSERVING THE LAW ARE UNDER A CURSE.” So whenever you hear people like the leadership of the Seventh Day Adventists, Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons, and many, many others claim “Jesus is the way—BUT you must keep certain laws or religious rules,” they are attempting to preach a curse on you. I'm not
saying that. It’s in God's Word. We only need Jesus! | image tagged in adventist,mormon,jehovah's witness,god,bible,jesus | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/5u2o9q.jpg)
![WHAT ARE THE ORIGINS OF THE “WORD OF FAITH” MOVEMENT? [2 of 3] One founder was William Seymour, a student of Charles Parham, and the creator of the Azusa Street Mission in 1906. Those present at the time described absolute chaos, and everyone wanting to preach—most did. Was any speakers vetted to see if they were even Christians? Did anyone ask for a testimony to see if those
teaching the crowd were even saved through Jesus? No, and no. Even some local witches and sorcerers preached. At least Seymour realized they were occult people and stopped them from preaching, but those occult followers continued to attend and practice their weird worship—of who? Also strange for a Church service were reports of kissing between unmarried
persons. One of those who did not preach was Seymour, who just
sat with his head in a crate; from time to time he shouted, "Repent!” | image tagged in word of faith,prosperity preacher,bible,god,jesus,scam | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/5tbmmq.jpg)
![IS MEDITATION OKAY? [4 of 4] What if we just call it "contemplative prayer,” as practiced in some Christian Churches today? You may think Hindu meditation is able to entice the secular world, but can’t snooker Christians. Unfortunately, it's been in the Church for years! In the Christian Church, Hindu evangelizing would not have been able to get away with its real name: “Eastern transcendental meditation.” Instead, they Christianized it, which is the devil’s same old method of repackaging false teachings (lies). This time they did so using Christianese to dupe Christians into thinking the idea came from God. Meditation in the Church was disguised as "contemplative prayer.” Though it says, “prayer,”
it is not from God. Still, that lie has created one of the fastest growing
practices in the America Church today—plain old pagan meditation. And anyone who pushes meditation far enough, will have a spiritual encounter, but it won’t be the Spirit of God. The Bible instructs us to pray WITH our minds. We do contemplate (thinking deeply) while having a real conversation with God, but that’s not what is meant by the term, "contemplative prayer.” It is nothing like Christian prayer to God. "Contemplative prayer has slowly increased in practice and popularity among the emerging church movement—a movement which embraces many unscriptural ideas and practices.” Eastern meditation has been labeled as contemplative prayer to infiltrate Churches by claiming you will have a genuine encounter with God. Again, you eventually will connect with something, but it will not be the Spirit of God. Instead, it will be a
demonic spirit that you do not want to welcome into your life. | image tagged in meditation,yoga,hindu,bible,god,jesus | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/5rnehd.jpg)
![IS MEDITATION OKAY? [3 of 4] Opposite of Christian prayer, Hindu meditation is inwardly focused on one's own spirit, seeking to supposedly gain self-awareness through this occult practice. What does the Bible say about that? Are we supposed to focus on ourselves? No! Romans 8:5-6 tells us to deny ourselves, because focusing inwardly only leads to death. But using our minds to pray to God in a conversation leads to life and peace. So, meditation is nothing at all like biblical prayer. "Those who practice transcendental meditation are setting their minds on their own spirit, looking within themselves in order to transcend themselves, rather than on the Spirit of God. Searching one's own mind—or emptying one's mind of all thought—may result in numbness or a temporary escape from reality, but...cannot bring true [and lasting] peace.” Meditation is for getting people into an altered state of consciousness (a hypnotic state), making them highly suggestible to dark spiritual realms we do not want to mess with. Unfortunately, before getting saved, I practiced meditation as part of the New Age
movement—resulting in close encounters with actual demons! | image tagged in meditation,yoga,god,bible,hindu,jesus | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/5rne2o.jpg)
![IS MEDITATION OKAY? [2 of 4] The Hindu technique of mediation is something Jesus warned us about. He told us not to pray like the pagans, who babble on and on. The Greek root is almost a direct translation from "barbar," referring to the barbarians who lived in foreign lands. The Greeks called them barbarians because when the Greeks heard them speak, it just sounded like, "brah, brah, brah, brah, brah, brah, brah…” So, Jesus is telling us not to be like the pagans, who sound like barbarians when they pray to their idols. And meditation’s mantras (chanting words or phrases) are just repetitious babbling. Jesus said not to do it, because it’s not the same as biblical prayer. When we Christians pray, obviously it is not about the Hindu practice of focusing our mind on repetition of meaningless words or phrases. We pray directly to God, speaking to Him using our mind and intelligible words—we have a conversation—telling Him how much we love
and appreciate Him, as well as requesting help. | image tagged in meditation,god,yoga,hindu,bible,jesus | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/5rndn3.jpg)
![HOW DOES HINDUISM COMPARE TO CHRISTIANITY? [4 of 4] Even with the many obvious, core differences between Christianity and Hinduism’s works-based system, we often hear un-researched and false statements like, “All faiths and religions teach mostly the same stuff." But that’s a lie! Christianity is absolutely unique and is the only way to heaven. In John 4:16, Jesus said, “No one comes to the Father except through Me.” But still to this day,
in his depravity, Satan has invented countless false
paths that just confuse people away from Jesus. And the devil does so out of pure evil, wanting all he can dupe to join him in the Lake of Fire. Satan knows he's lost; he was a doomed loser when Christ beat him on the cross. But the devil teams up with humans who seek power and money. Together they deceive people all the way to eternity in hell. The alternative is to accept the free gift of salvation offered to us through Jesus' work on the cross. By just accepting that, we will be spending eternity as a child of the
One Supreme Being, the almighty and eternal God. | image tagged in reincarnation,karma,hindu,bible,god,jesus | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/5rn9ko.jpg)
![HOW DOES HINDUISM COMPARE TO CHRISTIANITY? [1 of 4] All faiths except biblical Christianity falsely base your entrance into heaven (or some supposed other afterlife, or reincarnation) on your own works—they are religions or cults and they are all works-based. That religiosity is popular because people want to FEEL more spiritual by doing religious tasks, instead of having to humble themselves to receive free forgiveness of their sins through Jesus. So, religions like Hinduism take advantage of that mindset by having their followers perform rituals to appease the 300 million Hindu gods (demons). Man’s need for religiosity allows religions to control people, just as Hindu priests did in early Hinduism, growing in power by threatening non-compliant follower's with bad “Karma," meaning the person would continue being stuck in an endless loop of supposedly living one life after another. This is their
false teaching of reincarnation. And that same works-based dynamic
is taught across the planet through world RELIGIONS and cults. | image tagged in hindu,reincarnation,karma,christian,bible,jesus | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/5rn6pk.jpg)
