James Revisited Part V
How can any pastor / preacher try to put James with Paul? We look at faith and works here. Well, it makes total sense for the tribulation but is so opposite of what Paul teaches from the Risen Saviour!

James Revisited Part IV James 1:17-27
Tonight we look at
  1. Word of truth
  2. Law of Liberty
  3. The faith of Jesus during the Tribulation
Are these the same things that we hear from Paul? No. They can't be! Take a listen!
]]> http://rightlydivide.info/scatteredchristians/james-revisited-part-iv James Revisited (Part III)
James Revisited Part III James 1:17-27
Is every good and perfect gift today from God? Is God the Father of lights or Father of heavenly lights? Is our KJB full of 'variableness' - is there a 'shadow of turning' that can come from the KJB? What is the "word of truth" during the Tribulation? Weren't we begat by the 'word of truth' today? What about our own 'personal' wrath today when compared to wrath during the Tribulation? These verses show a concern for losing salvation - do we have to worry about that, based on these Scriptures? Finally, religion? I despise it and we should, according to Paul; however, James describes a pure and undefiled religion? Does that exist today? And finally, can we actually keep ourselves from being spotted by the world? Are we told that we should try to be that unspotted, etc.? Answers within!

James Revisited Part II James 1:5-16
Is this the correct book we should learn about double-minded people? No, not at all. There is a totally different consequence for double-minded people during the Tribulation than we have today. It is an interesting study...

What about the rich during the Tribulation? There won't be any rich 'brethren' - think about it... then listen to the sermon.

What really is 'tempation'? Are 'dirty' thoughts a sin? Do we even have to be concerned about 'sin' and the 'death' that comes from it? They do!

Are they dead to sin during the Tribulation? You might think so if you are a fast reader; however, if you read a little slower, you will see just how important the letter 's' can be!

James Revisited Part I James 1:1-4
Now that we are done with I John and we understand even more what it will be like to be a 'believer' during the Tribulation, let's take a fast 'revisit' to the Book of James and see some more doctrine that is wrongly preached today and to learn more about the truth that is to be preached to us today!

Tonight, we look at temptation and patience. Is there a difference of those two subjects from what Paul preaches when compared to James? Yes! Unmistakable! Obviously! But the pastors today still preach the wrong gospel when they preach out of James TO us, instead of FOR us.
]]> http://rightlydivide.info/scatteredchristians/james-revisited-part-i Is Paul’s Gospel of Grace or Convenience? Sunday Morning

Do we 'only' live Paul's manner of life - his gospel of grace - when it is only convenient for us? I mean, who wants to suffer reproach when we can have an easier life if we just go with the flow knowing we are partakers of God's grace. However, many are still willing to do, go, see, watch, or wear the 'right thing', etc. - but only when it doesn't cause problems?

And for you single / divorced / widowed believers... what an opportunity you have... if you can do it!

I recommend you also do your own study with the included notes as I left a number of verse references out because of that culprit 'time'.
]]> http://rightlydivide.info/scatteredchristians/is-pauls-gospel-of-grace-or-convenience BEST OF: “Faith Hall of Fame” – Not ‘TO’ Us Today
Hebrews 11
Yes, everyone knows that Hebrews 11 is about faith, but do many realize that it is about 'their own faith', not the faith of Jesus Christ. In the Tribulation, 'their own' faith will become that tried and tested again!
]]> http://rightlydivide.info/scatteredchristians/best-of-faith-hall-of-fame-not-to-us-today I John ‘Again’ (Part XII)
I John 'Again' Part XII I John 5:10-21
The end of I John shows us once again - that the Tribulation is 'faith plus works' no matter what the 'big guns' say. There is a sin unto death then but there isn't now. We know we are of God by the Book, not by our feelings or walk. While we should turn away from idols, they actually have to - or else! If we don't, our works burn; if they don't, they burn! Our confidence is because of HIS faith while their confidence is based on their walk! Their answers to prayer can be 'expected' IF they keep his commandments. For us today, Christ will actually do more than we ask - the Holy Ghost knows what to ask for us - more than we even know. They 'have' to ask according to his will, and yes, if they do, it will be given. If that is the kind of prayer life you want, then hang around - the time is coming soon!

I John 'Again' Part XI I John 5:6-9
We continue to look at doctrine that is NOT "to" us today. It is written "to" the Tribulation saints -and is all so 'not Paul'. Today we look what the KJB says about the 'witness'. So which 'witness' is OUR WITNESS today? Who do we look to for the truth to us today?
]]> http://rightlydivide.info/scatteredchristians/i-john-again-part-xi I John ‘Again’ (Part X)
I John 'Again' Part X I John 5:1-5
Tonight, we spend a few minutes looking 'Being born of God' during the Tribulation (again) and then we look at 'begotten;' 'keeping the commandments,' and being an 'overcomer'. We finally get a better look at those seven churches in Revelation, too. You will recognize that 'this' is the stuff that is being preached today; yet it is the message that should be preached during the Tribulation - NOT TODAY! Paul preaches NONE OF THIS!
]]> http://rightlydivide.info/scatteredchristians/i-john-again-part-x I John ‘Again’ (Part IX)
I John 'Again' I John 4:21 Part IX - "Paul's Tough Commandments"
Ever think about I & II Timothy and how it needs to be rightly divided in itself? There are some verses there TO woman but for the man to know, etc. We look at what Paul tells TO Timothy compared to what Timothy is told to teach TO us. It is an interesting way to read through Timothy I & II. Are you the tough Paul follower? Do you ALSO try to listen to Timothy? Does your pastor put 'to you' what was put 'to' Timothy? Are you willing to try to be a Timothy Christian? If so, then you follow what Paul taught Timothy to teach to us - but be careful that you don't try to 'imitate' Timothy. If that doesn't make sense to you, then may I suggest you listen to the sermon. Maybe that will help.

Bonus 'dessert' - How about some marriage 'advice' from Paul? Is his advice also from God or not? Listen in! It might help your marriage - it might help you as you plan on marriage... might!

I John 'Again' Part VIII - I John 4:1-6 "Commandments"
Keeping the commandments - we read that over and over in I John. What does that mean? What commandments are being talked about here? Paul mentions commandments, too. Is he talking about the same ones? What is 'the commandment?' Let's do a study on the word 'commandments' and see what commandments we ought to be concerned about and see what happens if they are rejected / or ignored.
]]> http://rightlydivide.info/scatteredchristians/i-john-again-part-viii I John ‘Again’ (Part VII)
I John 'Again' Part VII I John 4:1-6
  1. Loving the brethren - and all men... Does it mean you are 'of God' today?
  2. Is there a difference in 'consequences' for not loving the brethren today versus the Tribulation?
  3. How can they 'love the brethren' during the Tribulation any differently than we can today?
Good questions, eh? Hear the answers right here! A King James Bible - of course, rightly divided according to Paul's books - NOT verse by verse, picking and choosing!
]]> http://rightlydivide.info/scatteredchristians/i-john-again-part-vii I John ‘Again’ (Part VI)
I John 'Again' Part VI - I John 4:1-6
We look at the question: Why did God allow us to be so deceived as many of us taught 'another Jesus' to our kids and SS, etc.? Then we look a little more at 'spirits'.
]]> http://rightlydivide.info/scatteredchristians/i-john-again-part-vi I John ‘Again’ (Part V)
I John 'Again' Part V - I John 4:1-6
This morning, we give a dispensational look at believing that "Jesus Christ is the Son of God" making them 'of God' and also at the word "spirits".
]]> http://rightlydivide.info/scatteredchristians/i-john-again-part-v I John ‘Again’ (Part IV)
I John 'Again' Part IV
So, as we saw in the a.m. sermon, loving the brethren will have everything to do with whether or not the 'Tribulation Saint' is truly born of God.

But today, the Dispensation of Grace through Paul, where does the 'love of the brethren' fit in? Are we not showing our love of the brethren if we don't approve of what they are doing thus avoiding / withdrawing from, etc if they are not following Paul's manner of life, at whatever level, etc.? What might possibly be the real problem really?

And does the love of the brethren seal our salvation today? NO! But we still ought to love the brethren, right? RIGHT! But what if...??? Ahhh, now there is the subject of the tonight's sermon.
]]> http://rightlydivide.info/scatteredchristians/i-john-again-part-iv I John ‘Again’ (Part III)
I John 'Again' Part III
Hors d'Oeuvres:
  • Do we Despise Easter?
  • What about Final Authority?
Then we get into the main course. Do we HAVE to love the brethren or else lose our salvation? According to I John, yes. What is it that they will have to do to be considered a believer? Same as today? NO! They have to 1) keep his commandments; 2) do things pleasing in his sight; 3) believe on the 'name' of his Son Jesus Christ; 4) love one another. Do you have a clean conscience based on YOUR OWN walk? You have to - or you are not a 'believer.' If you wouldn't lay down your life for someone else, then you are not born of God?

I have some serious needs coming up - as do many of you. If you have the means to help, and if you don't, then you don't have the love of God, thus you are not born of God?

Really? That's what it says! So, how do you handle all that? Simple - listen up!

I John 'Again' Part II
Now I truly see why we are looking at I John again. We already know it is not the same as what Paul preaches - that is obvious - and according to Galatians 1, this is not to be preached as application today. However, suddenly, I see that we can do a study of the kind of person one will be and have to be during the Tribulation. It is a fresh new way to look at I John. It sure ought to make us thankful today, that is for sure! Sons of God in the OT - sons of God today - sons of God during the Tribulation - what a great family to be part of. But the sons of God during Tribulation - what kind of person will they have to be? I couldn't do it and neither could you, but it is a very interesting study.

I John 'Again' Part I
We are doing a quick run through of I John - just to help us mark our Bible so we can show folks that there is NO WAY that I John is written to us today. It is there FOR us, of course, but certainly it is not part of the sound doctrine to be applied to yourselves today. This book does NOT match up with Paul and when Paul says in Galatians 1 that it has to match what he preaches, our conclusion is - it does NOT match. Absolutely NO WAY! Totally NO WAY. Tonight - chapters 1,2.
