Introduction
This post follows Ephesians 4:15 which says: “Contend for the faith”…speaking the truth in love.
“I was compelled to write to you [urgently] appealing….”
As believers, the Spirit will compel us to appeal to others that they follow Jesus. Jude urges us to “contend for the faith”, “fight strenuously for the faith”, defend the faith. That is our obligation and mission as followers.
Our faith is not just “whatever“! The faith that we follow absoutely must be:
“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
Tainted teachings infiltrating
We are urged by Jude to be careful NOT to allow false doctrines (false teachings) to filtrate into our reservoir of beliefs. God is not adding new revelations to what He “once for all” delivered long ago. Why would He have to?! God never changes.
The Gospel is to be guarded, kept unadulterated, untainted – not changed by some supposed “new revelation”.

Better is thinking with God’s Word
Better is one thought with the Lord
than a thousand elsewhere.
Are you always elsewhere
— wrong with Jesus — following another gospel
or, as John put it — not really “of us”?
Pope Francis. 266th Pontiff of the Catholic Church. Died 4-21-25
Better is thinking with God’s Word –
than thinking with a thousand traditions of men.
Is your religiousness full of authoratative traditions?
I count on the Bible. It’s more accurate.
Sorry for you, Catholics and Orthodox
— you who elevate your traditions
over the written Word of God.
Man’s thoughts — better than God’s? What what what?!
As if your mindset is protected by God. Ha!
And then, you End Times NAR-types:
If you don’t have it —
you make it up — for God! Unbelievable.
What’s with that? Puny human thoughts?
I could never follow mere men. Why do that!?
The Godman Jesus said, “Follow Me”.
Apostates leading Bethel: NAR-types Feucht & Shawn Bolz.
Sorry for you NAR-type Charismatics
who don’t even know who you really are —
wandering star pagans of the NAR,
practicing religious sins that God has condemned,
pretending, practicing sinful Spirit stuff,
like… making God speak, misrepresenting God,
thinking you know God’s thoughts,
unbelieveably trusting failed prophets who will lie again.
That’s a lot! A damning lot of sins
— practicing sins not covered by the blood of the Lamb.
If you are “practicing them” — you’re toast Google it.
You are loosing salvation
which you thought you had,
but… never had at all.
You are heart-breaking,
mistaken, wandering stars, pagans, God-damned believers.
Oh what regret upon That Day!
Better is God’s immortal thing
than a thousand things of man,
better than the puny human things.
Prophet James Goll. Facebook from Politico
Your thinking — so dull,
elevated illusions of blessedness
but actually condemned by God Almighty:
“I am against you”, God said.
You deny the Words of God
— of Jehovah God of the Old Testment,
but you believe your chronically wrong prophets
— prophets who lie and misinterpret Scripture
saying the OT is no longer relevant. How’s that?
12 False Teachings of Bethel_YouTube
You yourselves claim
your words are divine
making your thoughts – God’s Words.
You imagine it, what He would say.
and then you claim
your words are God’s Words.
You are No-Truth-Apostates
— antithetical — heritical.
And you that are far from God —
Better is thinking with God’s Word, truly,
than to be
— thinking with your world
— with all the enemies of your soul
— arguing with God
— supporting evil
— following the godless New Left
— denying Jesus
— choosing not to accept Him
— rejecting what Jesus taught
— caught in The Dead Calm as your journey ends.
You’ve got failure to believe God — and all the while
just one minute away from the Kingdom of God. Wow.
What a tragic error – what many live in all their life.
If you want to miss God’s thing…
do your own thing, be self-taught.
His Ways are not your ways
so how can you join Him on your own?
Betting your eternity on your thinking?
That’s a loosing bet.
God’s Word is not limited thinking.
The Bible is limitless thinking because God is limitless.
Thinking in my own context
is extremely limited thinking
because I am mortal and I fail to see so much.
Want to be right and not be wrong
forever and a day?
Hey — think like God Almighty!
God’s ways are beyond comprehension
— extreme to the nth degree.
Man’s ways are so totally earthy, confining,
often depraved, debilitating, corrupting, damning.
If you want to stay with God
stay within the limits of God’s Word.
Quite expansive — His limits for us
– wonderful beyond imagination.
After all — God is a wonderful blend of dynamic power,
immense love, divine forces, and human transcendence.
That is what Evangelicals try to do
– stay biblical.
We have failed miserably at times.
We get an errant thought,
it predominates, and so… sin flourishes.
But I rather think,
“Better is one thought as an Evangelical
– than a thousand elsewhere.”
Going with your own thinking
because you want it
rather than what God asks of us?
That’s a loser. You know that, right?
I’ll stick with wanting Him,
“trying to” be biblical in all things.
Not trying is, well, very limiting.
And I want limitless. Don’t you?
I want that great, big, limitless God.
NOT the horrible, limited, never-ending Hell.
I find Him in the Bible
– because, He wanted us,
so He had the Bible written.
Jesus saved me. I’m secure in Him.
How about you?
FOR MORE:
Are you “an abandoned construction site… piles of stuff, bits and pieces strewn around, ugly windows gaping holes….” Thinking with the thousands around you, with their traditions deep in media, popular, sung and preached? Better is thinking with God’s Word.

“Oh, that My people
would listen to Me,
That Israel would
walk in My ways!
– Psalm 81:13
My ways vs God’s Ways. One link or: Psalm 95:10, Acts 2:28, Hebrews 3:10, 1 Kings 11:33, 2 Kings 17:13, Psalm 119:5, Psalm 119:37, Psalm 119:59, Psalm 119:168, Psalm 139:3.
Psalm 95:10…”a people who err in their heart”
“…I was grieved and disgusted with that generation, And I said, ‘They are a people who err in their heart, And they do not acknowledge or regard My ways.
Acts 2:28 ‘You have made known to me the ways of life; You will fill me [infusing my soul] with joy with Your presence.’
Hebrews 3:10 “Therefore I was angered with this generation, And I said, ‘They always go astray in their heart, And they did not know My ways [nor become progressively better and more intimately acquainted with them]’;
1 Kings 11:33 because they have abandoned Me and have worshiped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh the god of the Moabites, and Milcom the god of the sons of Ammon; and they have not walked in My ways and followed My commandments, doing what is right in My sight and keeping My statutes and My ordinances as did his father David.
2 Kings 17:13 Yet the Lord warned Israel and Judah through all His prophets and every seer, saying, “Turn from your evil ways and keep My commandments and My statutes, in accordance with all the Law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you by My servants the prophets.”
Psalm 119:5 Oh, that my ways may be established To observe and keep Your statutes [obediently accepting and honoring them]!
Psalm 119:37 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 119:59 I considered my ways And turned my feet to [follow and obey] Your testimonies.
Psalm 119:168 I keep Your precepts and Your testimonies, For all my ways are [fully known] before You.
Psalm 139:3 You scrutinize my path and my lying down, And You are intimately acquainted with all my ways.
“Seek My face (crave, require as a necessity) and turn“
2 Chronicles 7:14 and My people, who are called by My Name, humble themselves, and pray and seek (crave, require as a necessity) My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear [them] from heaven, and forgive their sin and heal their land.
Get on God’s side and be in the Truth…thinking with God’s Word

Turn from – Turn to – Ephesians 4:20-24 (Full Chapter: Ephesians 4)
When you turn from your sinfulness
(true “repentance“),
and turn to Christ for His forgiveness
(“accept Christ” and His ways),
He then recreates you in that instant
and you become “born again“.

What God secures – you cannot lose…I’m secure in Him
You cannot lose what God keeps secured for us…security of the true believer
Being saved means forever never again condemned
“I am convinced and confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will [continue to] perfect and complete it until the day of Christ Jesus [the time of His return].”
– Philippians 1:6
Losing It Excerpt: You can’t lose what you never had.
Many in the Church are fake wheat, the tares that represent those who grow alongside the true wheat – until harvest day. They look so much like wheat, and are found in church with the wheat, but they are not wheat.
…That is how I would describe anyone who “leaves” their faith. They never were saved in the first place, so did not actually “leave”. You cannot leave where you never were! They just did what Hebrews 6 says:
“…those who were once enlightened and tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Spirit,5 and tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the age to come,6 and then fell away….”
– Hebrews 6:4-6
You’ve chosen not to accept Him. Why?
What Jesus taught…rejecting it

The Dead Calm as your journey ends – Hebrews 9:27-28
Practicing Sin, Not following Christ Excerpt:
Are you practicing sin? Is there sin you constantly practice? Have you grown accustomed to accepting [“your” sin] as okay with God? Are you okay with the practices of your life? Most importantly: Is God okay with your practices?
Scripture teaches us very clearly what is obviously …NOT following Christ. In fact, we are warned that “that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.” You are not following Christ if this is characteristic of you: Galatians 5:16-21.
Practicing Sin In one link (1 John 3:9, 1 John 3:4,1 John 3:8, Galatians 5:16-21) or:
1 John 3:9 No one who is born of God practices sin, because His seed abides in him; and he cannot [practice] sin, because he is born of God.
1 John 3:4 Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness.
1 John 3:8 the one who practices sin is of the devil; for the devil has sinned from the beginning. The Son of God appeared for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil.
Caught up with a practice God has said not to practice—If you are “practicing them” — you’re toast Google it.
If we do not think like God Almighty thinks
What God has going on with us here on this planet
God’s Think Excerpt: I think. You think. We all think. But, what does God think?
Thinking is necessary. But what if your “think” is not God’s “think”?
Then your “think” will end so very badly when you reach That Day of Judgement, quivering before God in the realization that it is His Think that rules the heavens, not yours. Not yours, not mine, not your mother’s nor your father’s, not your neighbor’s, not Mohammed’s, not the Hindu’s, not the Confuscianist’s, not the agnostic’s, not Hawking’s, not any natural born human’s.
It is of utmost importance that we check-out the source, the origins, of our belief. Do you know it?
I have delved deeply into the origins of many beliefs about God. And I have become convinced that Jesus is truly “the Way, the Truth, and the Life”, as Jesus put it (John 14:6).
I have placed my total allegiance in Him. He is the One.
Oh my God so mighty and beyond comprehension Excerpt: Jesus Saved Me
Since the day I turned to Jesus, the Holy Spirit came into my soul and He resides inside me, fulltime (“all the time”). And Holy Spirit will never leave me. Hebrews 13:5 Crazy, this grace of God.
God’s wonderful blend of dynamic power, immense love, divine forces, and human transcendence
Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God Almighty…that great, big, limitless God

Excerpt from Was your confession accepted by God?
God rejects all cracked hearts
God does not save “just anyone who comes to Him”. He has rejected and continues to reject all cracked hearts. Got a cracked heart?!
* I’m thinking of the rich young ruler who came to Jesus but left sad.
See: * One thing you lack.
* And I’m thinking of those who want His forgiveness but actually want their sin more!
See: * Got a cracked heart? Claiming a sin as – God’s will for you, * Keeping Sin, * Keeping sin AND getting God’s Holiness also.
Are you dealing with God – in error, as these NAR-types?

They were not really of us Extract: Being Critical of true believers
Apostate “believers” are everywhere these days, as predicted would happen in the End Times. Are you one of them? Be aware of what the Bible says of being “really of us”.
Verse 19 of 1 John 2:18-19 explains why so many are so critical of true believers:
“19They went out from us
[seeming at first
to be Christians],
but they were not
really of us
[because they were not
truly born again
and spiritually transformed]”
See these 4 passages in one link or: 1 John 2:18-19, 1 Timothy 4:1; 1 Timothy 6:3-5; 1 Timothy 1:3-7.

The tragic error many live in all their life…What a tragic error. Excerpt: The Tragic Reality is that many do not come to God to be saved. They refuse to accept His reality. They never acknowledge their sin before God. They do not repent.
IF you repent – He forgives you of any and all sin, no matter how dastardly sinful you were. See: Vile to Jesus

You don’t have to be weird to be an apostate Excerpt: You don’t have to be a weirdo to be an apostate. All you have to do (to be apostate) is: be wrong with Jesus — follow another gospel. You may not be as “normal” to God as you think you are!

When on earth I’m done and gone
Excerpt: I see so many lives ending like an unfinished job: loose ends, unfinished business, ruined by time. Broken pieces never mended. A “piece of work MirWebster: “a complicated, difficult, or eccentric person“. Got pieces of your past that cry out?
“I should have put it back together.”
“I should have said, ‘I’m sorry.’”
“I could’a would’a should’a … but never got around to it.”
Some lives are like an abandoned construction site… piles of stuff. Bits and pieces strewn around, ugly windows gaping holes where glass should swing so nicely, doors ajar – never closing. Untried dreams in every corner weeping, left undone, abandoned, never fulfilled.

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!
