Before we begin this morning’s lesson, allow me to post the verse I read in this morning’s devotional.
Ephesians 2:10 ‘…God has made us what we are, and in our union with Christ Jesus he has created us for a life of good deeds, which he has already prepared for us to do…’ GNT
This was this morning’s devotional.
Since I read it, I have been repeating this verse over and over in my mind …
Ephesians 2:10 ‘…God has made us what we are, and in our union with Christ Jesus he has created us for a life of good deeds, which he has already prepared for us to do…’ GNT
God made us …
Not our pastors.
Not our priests.
Not our churches.
Not our denominations.
GOD MADE US.
Matthew 16:18 ‘…And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it…’ AKJV
The catholic religion is using Peter as their justification for needing a pope, however Peter as well as any pope, is 100% human being, a mere man.
The new pope, pope Leo XIV, is the 267th pope since the apostle Peter.
The entire idea of needing a pope is ALL man-made.
Where in the Bible did Jesus tell us to assign, pick and choose popes that follow Peter?
Where in the Bible are we told we should FOLLOW anyone but Jesus?
It’s nowhere to be found in the Word of God, this has ALL been a man-made amusement by the catholic man-made religion, nothing else.
Nothing more or less … it’s ALL been a man-made lie and it’s been going on for nearly 2000 years.
The catholic religion is using a pope, a man, to be the voice to stand in for God.
God gave us, each one of us, the Word of God to be His Voice for us to know Him and be ready for His return.
The catholic church apparently doesn’t believe that God’s Word was given to us, to FOLLOW.
1 Corinthians 10:4 ‘…and did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ…’ AKJV
The ‘r’ used in the word rock, in Matthew is small font … it is not referencing Jesus; just as well, the ‘R’ used in the word Rock, in 1 Corinthians is capitalized … it is NOT referencing Peter.
Jesus is the Rock, not Peter.
God gave us the Word, not a pope. FOLLOW the Word of God and let Him tell you how He has determined to save you from ALL the foolishness found in this world.
Read how He has warned us of the false prophets and the false messages that would flood this land.
Read your Bibles and listen to the Word of God that He has given to each one of us and show us the ONLY way to be ready for His return.
The end is not here yet, you have still time to open your Bibles and read His Word.
We just celebrated Easter, Jesus’ resurrection from the tomb where this simple act of God’s LOVE for each one of us, has forgiven us of our sins so we could be saved.
Jesus died on the cross to save us.
We are to FOLLOW His lead and walk in His footsteps.
When Jesus asks you to FOLLOW Him, jump up out of your seat and go with Him.
When the Word tells us that Jesus CHOSE, follow Jesus’ choice and let mankind remain in their own ruin by making their own choices.
FOLLOW Jesus, and forget what mankind tells you.
Acts 9:15 tells us that Jesus, the resurrected and Ascended Jesus CHOSE for this entire world to be taught about His wants and wishes for us.
Acts 9:15 ‘…But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel…’ AKJV
This verse found in Acts, is directly from the mouth of the resurrected, Ascended Jesus speaking to Ananias … telling him to GO, for he (Saul of Tarsus), is the CHOSEN VESSEL that Jesus CHOSE to teach.
Jesus CHOSE Saul to teach this entire world about Himself … ‘…the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel…’ … there is no one left in the world.
Don’t find yourself getting caught up with what the men of this world or in their religions of this world tell you that you need to do to attain Everlasting Life with Jesus …
… Read your Bible and find out that Jesus already gave His Life for you so you could attain Him.
Accept Jesus and listen to His Word.
Here, once again, is this morning’s devotional.
Ephesians 2:10 ‘…God has made us what we are, and in our union with Christ Jesus he has created us for a life of good deeds, which he has already prepared for us to do…’ GNT
GOD MADE US.
FOLLOW GOD.

the UNFORGIVEABLE SIN
Wednesday 051425
Acts 9:5 ‘…But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel…’ AKJV
Ephesians 2:8 ‘…For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God…’ AKJV
Romans 10:9 ‘…that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved…’ AKJV
Jesus, open the ears of those this morning so they can LISTEN to the words You have given us. Allow them to see the REAL Message You want for us all to see. I love You Jesus. Amen.
The Bible verses we’re going to use this morning are:
Matthew 12:31-32; Mark 3:28-29; Luke 12:10; Acts 9:15, 13:9; Romans 11:11.
I found an article with a question that was asked by a young student to his professor:
Professor, if Christ died for all the sins of all men, including the sin of unbelief, why do some still end up in hell?
This is where I left the article.
To all of my family and friends that would rather follow what their pastors and their priests teach them, listen to me for just a minute, we are told in the Word of God, of ONE ‘UNFORGIVEABLE SIN,’ the ONLY sin not forgiven by God.
Matthew 12
vs31 ‘…Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men…’
vs32 ‘…And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come…’ AKJV
Mark 3
vs28 ‘…Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme…’
vs29 ‘…but he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation…’ AKJV
Luke 12:10 ‘…And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven …’ AKJV
There is a KEY word used in these verses and that word is Blasphemy.
The word BLASPHEMY is more than just simply swearing and using the Lord’s name in vain.
Blasphemy is defined as: the act or offense of speaking sacrilegiously about God or sacred things.
Sacrilege is defined as: violation or misuse of what is regarded as sacred.
The Word of God is considered the most sacred thing that we, mankind have been given.
If we were to misuse what the Holy Spirit has given us, the sin of that misuse is not possible to ever be forgiven.
When it is written in the Word that Jesus CHOSE Paul to be the teacher for the entire world, for us not to listen and obey Jesus’ choice, we have blasphemed against God.
That choice, that we made in turning our backs onto the Word of God, is forever, UNFORGIVEABLE.
Acts 9:15 ‘…But the Lord said to Ananias, Go! This man is my chosen instrument to proclaim my name to the Gentiles and their kings and to the people of Israel…’ NIV
Jesus CHOSE Saul to proclaim His name.
Some synonyms of the word proclaim is declare, advertise, announce, circulate, herald, indicate, make known, profess or to TEACH.
Just for a moment, how many people in this world make the comment that Paul’s epistles should be torn out of our Bible’s and thrown away.
There are people that make the claim that Paul’s epistles are false and fake.
These people are committing the one and only sin that is unforgiveable by God. These people are committing BLASPHEMY against the Word of God that has been given to each and every one of us.
Walking away and turning your backs is insanity, DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING?
This question has got to be the question that every man, woman and child must realize for themselves.
Every man, woman and child should ask themselves this question every day:
DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING?
Here are some footnotes that are found in different versions of the Bible for Acts 13:9.
Luke now begins to call Saul by his new name, Paul … Easy English Bible.
Saul was the apostle Paul’s Jewish (Hebrew) name. As his ministry to Gentiles began he became known by his Roman (Latin) name, Paul … Amplified Bible
Acts 13:9 ‘…But Saul, who was also known as Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, stared at him…’ NASB
For a while now I have tried to find something that people could see and HEAR for themselves that could possibly show them they have been following the wrong path.
Too many people in this world have this notion they are to take the place of the promised, God’s CHOSEN people, the Jews but this is nowhere found in the Word of God. This is probably the most false message that has been portrayed to mankind over the many generations.
My message that I try to voice to anyone that will hear my voice is to OPEN YOUR OWN BIBLE AND READ THE WORD OF GOD FOR YOURSELF.
Go beyond what your pastor, priest, church or its denomination tell you to read. Read the words that God gave to each one of us.
Jesus died on the cross to forgive man’s sins.
Jesus’ life and ministry was for the Jewish man.
Read your Bible’s after Jesus was crucified, buried and rose again after three (3) days.
Read the Acts of the apostles.
Read chapters 1 through 7 and hear how the Jewish people, still did not understand God’s real message for us.
Read in chapter 7 how the Sanhedrin stoned to death Stephen as he tried pleading the case of Jesus being the Son of God.
Finally, read in chapter 9 of how God made a choice to give His promise of Salvation to the Gentile since the Jewish people would not accept Him.
We are shown this in Romans 11:11.
Romans 11:11 ‘…I say then, have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy…’ AKJV
It’s not written anywhere in the Word where God gave up on His Chosen people, the Jews.
It’s not written anywhere in the Word where the Gentile nation was to replace the Jewish nation and take their place.
God decided to offer His GIFT of Life to the Gentile.
God decided to SAVE ALL mankind.
It is up to us to change our mind and accept the gift that God is trying to give to each one of us.
Keep your Bibles open and continue to study the Word of God.
Study the words that God spoke to us and leave the notion your church is trying to fill you with.
READ, LISTEN, and BELIEVE the words that God has given us in His Word.
I love ALL of y’all.
I will be back next Wednesday.
Jesus, this morning I desire that You would look down on those of us Jesus that want to experience Your love and friendship. I pray that if there is any kind of way, Your message could go out into this world so others could be allowed to HEAR the real, true Message You have to offer to them. I love You Jesus. Use me to help others hear what You have written for us … all we have to do is READ Your Word.
