					<description><![CDATA[Jesus told people in Matthew 5 how to be especially vs 48 to &quot;be ye therefore perfect even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.&quot; The problem with Christianity of the hour is they refuse perfection in Christ, that is because they are bastard children of the devil Hebrews 12:8 and not son of God in Christ. Jesus spoke to mankind and not to animals or to the birds, etc. Mankind is called to perfection, not my dog or cat. Christianity will rebel against the perfection of Jesus being filled with the sin of witchcraft. 1st Samuel 15:23. We are not talking about failing a test or spilling milk when it comes to perfection , we are talking about doing what the bible says as we are to be perfect in Christ Jesus Colossions 1:28. 

Perfect individuals existed before, concurrently with, and following Jesus. Many Christians will look for an excuse and even pervert the very words the bible says that Noah was perfect, David was perfect, King Hezekiah, Job, Lot, Abraham, Jospeh the earthly father of Jesus, Paul after he got saved, Peter, John James, etc.   Most Christians will rebel and use a perverted bible like the NIV, NKJV, Good News, NRSC, NAV, NASV, etc. to take it out of context to state mature or pure heart. Don&#039;t you buy fruit that is perfect, that is mature and is pure? People are just so bewitched by them deceivers from Sunday School and church and are going head on to hell fire and brimstone in their unbelief and sin. Christians want to agree partially with Jesus when the bible says we must live by &quot;Every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God&quot; Matthew 4:4. When it comes to sin no more John 5:14 or John 8:10, they do not want not agree and look for an excuse to remain in the devil&#039;s fun house of sin the local church. 

We are told to come out from among them and not stay in  them churches that are offering unbelief and using vain deceit and philosophy to keep you dead in your sins and trespasses. Jesus words are spirit and life and it written for mankind and not for ungodly and sinning preachers who do not want to know nothing. Many people are calling themselves Christians and so not even open up the bible and read to find out what it the truth and what is not as they accept the church at point black instead of consulting the bible. Many people with strong delusions to believe a lie are falling down on the ground laughing or saying a funny diabolical prayer that is not scriptural, or doing this and that and they think they have it made just because they go to this church or that church and sit in their pews and listen to the preacher. The bible says &quot;If any man consent not to the wholesome words even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ and to the doctrine which is according to godliness he is proud knowing nothing.&quot;  1st Timothy 6, that is all we have proud knowing nothing Christians. Churches are loaded with unbelievers, divorce and remarriage, smokers, drinkers, people on drugs, sick and weak, idolators, adulators, ungodly, unrighteous, fornications etc. and non of them will inherit the kingdom of God.  People go into church and they leave the same way they come out dead in sin and trespasses and no change, twofold more the child of hell. 

We have to open up the bible and start doing what the bible says no matter how painful it is as I would rather go to heaven troubled then go to hell in peace. People think they feel good because they are going to church and it makes them feel good because they are going to a building. If going to a building makes people feel good, then why are they not feeling good Monday morning when they show up to work? We have to start doing what the bible says, sin no more/sin not, perfection, righteousness, holiness, etc. When you accept the words of the Gospel of Christ sin and unrighteousness has to leave and the devil and Jesus does not sleep in the same room. Christians profess they are a sinner saved by grace. When you are a sinner, you are not saved as all sin is of the devil 1st John 3:8. Grace does not make us stay in sin, it takes us out of sin and puts us into righteousness and all truth. All truth is the love of the truth and not the love of the preacher looking for your pocketbook by preaching deceitful lies behind the pulpit. Get into your bible and read from genesis to Revelation how the church has failed to tell you many things because they are interested in keeping you busy in their dead works of faith of concerts, sing song services, programs, camps, holidays, parties, brunches, coffees, picknicks, sales, yellow busses, ungodliness, unbelief, sports, etc. Read your bible and come out from among them and I will meet you when Jesus comes when you start doing what Jesus says. 

2nd Thess 2:10] And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
[11] And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
[12] That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Titus 2:[11] For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
[12] Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;
[13] Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
[14] Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
[15] These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.

Hebrews 12:4] Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.
[5] And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:
[6] For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
[7] If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
[8] But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.
[9] Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?
[10] For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.
[11] Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.
[12] Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees;
[13] And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed.
[14] Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:
[15] Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;

1st Timothy 6:[3] If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;
[4] He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,
[5] Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.

Rev 18:[1] And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.
[2] And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
[3] For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
[4] And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
[5] For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.
[6] Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.

2nd Cor 6:13] Now for a recompence in the same, (I speak as unto my children,) be ye also enlarged.
[14] Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
[15] And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
[16] And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
[17] Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,
[18] And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

2nd Cor 7:[1] Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

Col 2:[8] Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.

Genesis 6:[9] These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.

Deut 18:13] Thou shalt be perfect with the LORD thy God.

1st Kings 18:[61] Let your heart therefore be perfect with the LORD our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as at this day.

Job 1:[1] There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil.
[8] And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil

Matthew 5:48] Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

Acts 3:[16] And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.

1st Cor 2:5] That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
[6] Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought:
[7] But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:
[8] Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

2nd Cor 13:9] For we are glad, when we are weak, and ye are strong: and this also we wish, even your perfection.
[11] Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.]]></description>
