Define it here:
Highfalutin Words…Truth, unequivocal, antithetical, heritical, apostate
Define it here:
Antithetical is unequivocal opposition MerWebster: unequivocal ; MerWeb being in direct and unequivocal opposition; directly opposite or opposed; constituting or marked by antithesis.
Heretical means contrary to Jesus – being into beliefs Jesus would never support.
Apostate is following false teachings about Jesus – being “not of us“…
1 John 2:19: “none of them are of us”
Here’s a mouthful:
If you are unequivocal in your anti-biblical views – you are antithetical to what Jesus taught, and thus you are heretical, a heretic lost as Hell – as in “apostate”. (Well, then, yes, you are apostate.)
What is Truth?…getting down to God’s meaning
You don’t have to know it, but if one of these highfalutin words describes you, then God holds you responsible, and you remain under His condemnation. As some would put it: “You damned.”
Not by me, but by God Almighty – God Damned. Not what I ever want to be.
As I’ve said before: I’d get out of Dodge Google it. Real quick now. Don’t wait till it’s too late.
Those are the plain, natural facts, folks. God’s “normal”. And according to the Bible, God’s Word to mankind, you be missing-out forever.
Here are four passages of what “God’s normal” looks like:
See (from God’s Normal): Romans 12:1-21, Romans 13:1-14, Ephesians 4: 1-7, 1 Peter 4:7-11.
Your heritical stance, though it be highfalutin, is antithetical to Jesus. And that can haunt you forever in Hell. Really want to take that stance. Your ways, your views?
Think about it. Want to be haunted? Go to Hell! That’s where that’s at.
Oops. Well, tomorrow never arrived, and: It’s Too Late.
Tomorrow is the fool’s day
Tomorrow may never come
I may not get older
This may be it…

Know your thinking – Save your future
“By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error” 1 Thessalonians 5:21
Excerpt: Simple test: “The one who knows God listens to us; the one who is not from God does not listen to us.” (v6) 1 John 4:1-6 NASB
Think about it. Have you strayed from the truth?
What would you trade… for eternal happiness and good?
Are you content to keep ¨what you have now…¨ and give up eternal happiness and good? Is this ¨thing¨ you value so much in this life – worth giving up eternal happiness and good?
What Scripture supports and defends and we should also…Truth. Excerpt: False perspective
Life itself has been confused for “political”. Nobody these days can discuss life’s issues without being called “political”. What what what?!
That is a false perspective meant to cause divisiveness. The world, with the other enemies of our soul, wants to divide and conquer Christians in their pursuit of righteousness in all they do and say. Christian life is hampered by this false perspective.
Life issues are for all of us to talk about. Issues we face are not “political”. Being righteous is not “politics”. Let’s not label everything as “politics”. Living is not political – it’s life. Enough already!
“the faith which was once for all
[d]handed down to the saints
[the faith that is
the sum of Christian belief
that was given verbally to believers].”
– Jude 3
What you think and practice as compared with what Jesus thinks
Do you know yourself well …enough?
You don’t have to be weird to be an apostate
It is what it is…He wrote The Book. The Bible Is God’s Word To Us…God’s Word to mankind
Taking hate to Holy Heaven? Your ways, your views?
As if your mindset is protected by God
Explaining “natural” Excerpt: Way way close, but ages ago – here on earth, what was “natural” was disappeared by Creator God, and we all became changelings.
…It is “natural”, in today’s old as the hills morality, to do whatever the hell they want to do, and rationalize the behavior as “natural”.
Some natural instinct made me do it!
But there are consequences to following some natural instincts, many consequences now, and a huge one after this existence, when we arrive to face God on That Day. Wouldn’t it be wiser to learn God’s natural?
God’s Normal Excerpt: There are several lists in Scripture showing us what IS part of the normal Christian life. We each must search “our inner self”. Do you know that God indeed sees you in this way? Do you truly “walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called…?” (Ephesians 4: verse 1). God knows. Here are four passages of what “normal” looks like: Romans 12:1-21, Romans 13:1-14, Ephesians 4: 1-7, 1 Peter 4:7-11.
Compare our thinking with God’s
Is your life fruit – Agape Love?…compare our thinking with God’s
Issues in the public square affect our life and our faith…compare our thinking with God’s
Is Jesus’ Worldview your worldview?…compare our thinking with God’s
Is your light actually darkness?…compare our thinking with God’s
Comform or resist the pressure…compare our thinking with God’s
You are responsible…God holds you responsible
God holds you responsible, and you remain under His condemnation.
A God Damn…As some would put it: You damned.”
Being God Damned…Not by me, but by God. Not what I ever want to be.
What if? God looks inside your soul and says “I am not your Lord”
The Way of Salvation always requires obedience to Jesus
Taking hate to Holy Heaven? Your ways, your views?
Streaming from my soul…my actual actions…Habits. Excerpt: that “sense of right and wrong”, that helps us make “moral choices“. God made us that way from birth.
Habits of love…Habits
Being unselfish, more thoughtful and gracious to others…Habits
Is your life fruit – Agape Love?…Habits
Being pleasing…Habits
Fight the good fight…Habits
Imagine what “being saved” has meant to you
This is natural for us so put it on
What Scripture supports and defends and we should also
Keeping Sin…Habits
Fickle piccadillies…Habits
Practicing sin – not following Christ
Distracting meaningless things…Habits. Extract:
Questions based on 1 Corinthians 13:11, Hebrews 12:1, Psalm 119:37. See in KJV: Hebrews 12:1.
* Still into childish things? ” 11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; when I became a man, I did away with childish things.” – 1 Corinthians 13:verse 11
* What vanities do you cherish? Vanities: being worthless or futile; uselessness, pointlessness, worthlessness, fruitlessness – Source: The Google
* What meaningless things do you allow to distract you from God’s priorities?
* What do you need to strip off – because it is unnecessary weight on your spiritual life?
* What is it that comes again and again into your life, cleverly entangling you into sin?
* Are you running a spiritual lifestyle of maturity in Christ?
* Are you running your life with “active persistence“ so that, through your life – you are testifying to those who know you that your faith is in God and His absolute faithfulness?
* Even long-time born again believers struggle with sin and doing sinful deeds. Right? (See: James 3:2) (Write me if you are not. I’d like to hear about it.)
__________
Turn my eyes away from vanity
[all those worldly,
meaningless things
that distract
—let Your priorities be mine],
And restore me
[with renewed energy]
in Your ways.
– Psalm 119:37
Thinking is good
“…Don’t fool yourself
by your limited thinking.”
– Swift’s Amped-up Paraphrase of 1 Corinthians 6:9-10
Your thinking or God’s Word…my thinking and God’s thinking
Betting your eternity on your thinking
Being a Temp in our temporary tent…my temp job, so to speak.
What I rather prefer…Not what I ever want to be… God Damned.
Think about it. Have you strayed from God’s truth? Excerpt: The “godly truth”. You got it? The truth that is godly?
It takes a lot of careful thinking to keep safe the “godly truth entrusted to” us who follow Jesus. 1 Timothy 6:20-21 The Apostle Paul tells us we must constantly be discerning, like a judge with a gavel, passing judgement right and left — upon what is said around us. Or else. We must develop a biblical mentality – and think like God Almighty! Truly! It is that bad out there nowadays.
The reality for us now Excerpt: Without Christ we are legally damned, but He can legally forgive. Don’t be mislead by religion and philosophies of mere puny humans. What do they know, really?
The Secret Truth decreed by God 1 Corinthians 15:50-53
Jesus will rescue us soon from the Wrath to come
The Bible is the standard for Christian thought and practice. Not me. Not you.
Accepting all that Jesus Christ is and does
The world of illusion of some churchgoers
Creating a space for communication
Feeling insignificant No matter who you are. Excerpt:No human need stay in the funk of insignificance. No matter who you are, how ordinary, how far you’ve fallen, how vile to Jesus, how lost, how deep your sorrows — as a human each of us can be blessed beyond measure by Jesus the Messiah. Jesus wants us. Jesus gives eternal significance.
The Meetup down the road…will divide eternity for you once for all time.
Meeting up with Jesus…the unavoidable meet-up down the road will soon be dividing eternity for us all.
Choose to change eternity…you can do it now (but not later)
Divide your eternity
so you are
on the right side.
Do it once – for all time.
Are you right? Right by Jesus? Or, wrong as Hell?
Being Wrong…wrong as Hell – with Jesus
Understanding “wrong”…If you just don’t get it
Still so dull? Excerpt: God’s Attitude | Matthew 15 is so very interesting. God actually has an attitudeCollins. His attitude is especially applicable to the absurd state of the world as it is now in 2021. Imagine what He would say about today… when Jesus actually said this to His own disciple Peter,
“Are you still so dull
[and unable to
put things together]?”
– Matthew 15:16
Want it Excerpt: How about you? Do you really believe ¨the think¨ our society shoves us into? Do you think our intelligence and the creative design of all that is around us – came from slime? Have you thought-it-through for yourself? What will be your fundamental tenet when you finally stand at heaven’s gate? Will you wait till then for proof?
God is real. The evidence is there. Where are you? Do you want it enough to actually investigate God? Do it now because tomorrow you may be kneeling before Him.
Know your thinking – Save your future
Do you know yourself well…enough?
Still sneering? Excerpt: Still sneering? Or now accepting?
When that lightning quick final moment “ends you” merriam-webster: transitive verb
1a- to bring to an end. b- destroy and you find yourself of a sudden kneeling, alone before God Eternal in His Majestic Court…
“Who’s sneering now?”
See: Jude 1:10, Acts 17:30-31
With that reality: “Will you be able to speak at all?” 1 This moment is coming for all who come lacking before God. Are you lacking what God requires of you? Think about it. Are you still lacking what God requires in order to enter His Kingdom?
When you are wrong and you just don’t get it…your thinking is “wrong”
Ever grasped that feeling of being wrong with Jesus?
What happens when you do not know what the Bible says on a matter?…We all want to think we have a handle on truth, but… do you really?
Called by Jesus to be forever on a higher level Excerpt: Salvation is more
We have more than eternity. 
Although that should be enough (!), through Christ we have more, because we have been saved to a higher calling. We have an extreme, high calling from our extreme High God.
Have you accepted this? Or are you still so dull of hearing, still sneering, still clinging to your rotten sinfulness that we all struggle with, still unwilling to accept Jesus as Lord and Savior?
Consequences of supporting evil
Irrational Beliefs Excerpt: Is yours an irrational faith not at all supported by evidences? Or do you have a firm, rational faith in Jesus the Godman, supplied with proofs and amazing evidences?
Delusion is absolutely irrational, stupid and foolish
Loving the world…Are you right by the world…wrong by Jesus?
Can you really see what is going on in the world?
Being wise in a very unwise world during these End Times

A world-wide trap is being sprung soon
Jesus will rescue us soon from the Wrath to come
Jesus Returns to Earth Twice in the End Times…Next?…when He returns to earth for the great meet-up down the road
…then what will Jesus say to you? 1 or 2?
1- Matthew 7:21-23
…23 And then
I will declare to them publicly,
‘I never knew you;
depart from Me
[you are banished from My presence],
you who act wickedly
[disregarding My commands].’
or
2- Matthew 25:21
His master said to him,
‘Well done,
good and faithful servant.
You have been faithful
and trustworthy over a little,
I will put you in charge of many things;
share in the joy of your master.’
The Proof about Jesus is all there. Easy to see. We just reject it outright, or believe…The Proof. Furnished Proof
Ever grasped that feeling of being wrong with Jesus?…Understanding Jesus
Betting your eternity on your own thinking
If we do not think like God Almighty thinks

What happens when you do not know what the Bible says on a matter?…What happens

NAR-types are changing God’s Way, denying the Old Testament
Is your life fruit – agape love?
Love and Agape Love in the Greek and in the New Testament
God’s wonderful blend of dynamic power, immense love, divine forces, and human transcendence
Being unselfish, more thoughtful and gracious to others
Acting with your heart, soul, strength, and with your mind
Hating is life changing – eternal life changing. Scary thought.
Is Jesus’ worldview your worldview?
Flesh and blood absolutely cannot inherit the Kingdom of God
Hating is life changing – eternal life changing. Scary thought…surrendering all of who you are — to Jesus, giving 100% of your heart to Him in repentance and confession – and actually following Him. Nothing less will do.
Hate is “eternal-life-changing”. Scary thought.
