The Gospel

Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the GOSPEL which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

[Paul, writing to Christians @ Corinth, 1 Cor. 15:1-4]

Psalm 23

Title: The Lord is my Shepherd

The Christian who obediently follows God’s voice remains in a perpetual state of helplessness and dependence on the Lord, as the sheep is to the shepherd.  There is nowhere he could go where he is not led to, and nothing he could do that he is not gently and lovingly compelled to.

From the ordinary pasture to the great feast, he is revived when weary, protected when threatened by danger, restored when he goes astray, and nurtured to perfection, when only goodness and love would follow him all the days of his life.

Sodomy is an Abomination to God

Read: [Romans 1:18-32; Lev. 18:22; Lev. 20:13; Deut. 22:5]
The issue of sodomites/lesbians, really, is not with Christians, but with the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of the Bible and with the Lord Jesus.
Homosexuality is not even a gender issue because gender is the "distinction of sex based on the reproductive organ,"; and we know of only two reproductive organs: that of the male and of the female. In reality, sodomy/lesbianism is a "sin" issue and must be dealt with with God's standard of righteousness through His Word.
And when it comes to the topic of homosexuality and lesbianism, the Christian has no opinion but what the Bible teaches and which is sanctioned by patterns in nature.
Furthermore, the sodomite/lesbian must admit that even he/she was the result of a heterosexual relationship, and that a homosexual union is not viable in the sense that it cannot produce life. If every union on this planet was of the same sex, the population of the world would decrease immediately and dramatically and life would cease to exist inside a century; whereas marriage would guarantee the continuation of life.
Homosexuality is a grave sin in the eyes of the Creator, and it is so abominable to God that this transgression is already a judgment in itself, and where the offender is given over to the full course of his/her indecent acts, receiving in themselves the due penalty of their perversion.
But, as in the case of any other sin, homosexuals who would REPENT and believe the gospel (1Cor. 15:1-4) would be cleansed of their sins and receive the gift of eternal life (1Cor. 6:11)

[The average lifespan of a sodomite without HIV is 45 years; while the average lifespan of those with HIV is 35 years. Homosexuality is death!]

Christians will NOT SPEND ETERNITY in heaven

Read: Revelation 21:3
Title: Now the dwelling of God is with men
The redeemed of all ages will not spend all of eternity in heaven, for heaven is exclusively the abode of God. While it is true that departed souls of the saints go to the presence of God (2Cor. 5:8), it is just an intermediate state, and all will accompany the Lord Jesus when He returns to earth at the End of the Age, right after the period of tribulation (1Thess. 4:14).

The redeemed of all ages will spend eternity on a new earth, and it is the dwelling of God, the new Jerusalem, that will come down to earth from heaven and time will be no more.

FOR THE SLAUGHTER OF 70 MILLION BABIES IN "PLANNED PARENTHOOD" ABORTION CLINICS ACROSS AMERICA (AND SELLING OF BABY BODY PARTS), AMERICAN MOTHERS WILL EAT THEIR OFFSPRING AS JUDGMENT FALLS ON THE U.S.S.A.

"And you took your sons and daughters whom you bore to me and sacrificed them as food to the idols. Was your prostitution not enough? You slaughtered my children and sacrificed them to the idols. - Ezekiel 16:20,21
"My eyes fall from weeping, I am in torment within, my heart is poured out on the ground because my people are destroyed, because children and infants faint in the streets of the city. They say to their mothers, 'Where is bread and wine?' as they faint like wounded men in the streets of the city, as their lives ebb away in their mothers' arms." - Lamentations 2:11,12
"Look, O Lord, and consider: Whom have you ever treated like this? Should women eat their offspring, the children they have cared for?..." - Lamentations 2:20
Americans are sacrificing 3,500 babies a day (70 million babies since 1973) to the idols of ease and pleasure, disregarding the author of life, God himself; and for this sin alone, God would judge her like Israel of old when, during the siege of Jerusalem in 586 B.C., food ran out, and mothers resorted to killing their children and eating them, hiding and saving what was left for themselves.
For this horrific sacrifice of life, the church is wholly to blame because the Christian church in America failed to exert its authority over government on the issues of life and marriage and sexuality. Now the government is rearing its ugly head and threatening to annihilate Christians and get rid of the Christian faith.

Oh, Christian brethren, come out of America while the window of opportunity is still open, for it is closing fast. There is still time for the church in America to repent and turn to God, and the call remains for genuine Christians to “COME OUT OF HER, MY PEOPLE, SO THAT YOU WILL NOT SHARE IN HER SINS, SO THAT YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE ANY OF HER PLAGUES; FOR HER SINS ARE PILED UP TO HEAVEN, AND GOD HAS REMEMBERED HER CRIMES.” (Revelation 18:4,5)

DARKNESS HAS FALLEN ON EARTH !!!

FIRE !!! (2PET.3:10)
TRIBULATION and PERSECUTION are coming, "the hour of trial that is going to come upon the whole world to test those who live on the earth" (REV.3:10).
And the Secret Pre-Tribulation, Pre Wrath Rapture theories will not happen as their advocates would like us to believe, because (1THESS.4:13-17) is actually the PAROUSIA, the Second Coming of the Lord Jesus at the end of this age to set up His kingdom, judge His enemies, and reward the faithful.
There will be war, famine, pestilences, ethnic violence, earthquakes in various places, signs in the heavens (MATT.24:1-51; MARK 13:1-37; LUKE 21:5-36).
NUCLEAR WAR OUT OF SYRIA !!! (ISA.17:1);
As Russia et al destroys the United Sodomite States of War in one day, even in one hour (according to Putin), and inside the term of Barry Soetoro.
WAR! DEATH!
Billions will perish, according to Scriptures (REV.6:8; REV.8:11; REV.9l18).
The world is on the brink. War is on the horizon. And the majority of people are clueless.
And to the church: The Lord has told us all things ahead of time that we might be on our guards, that we might live holy and godly lives as we look forward to that frightful and glorious day (2PET.3:12).
Oh, Christian brethren, let us repent, that we may be able to stand on the day the Lord Jesus returns to earth.
To those who are not sure of their eternal destiny, have your sins been taken away and nailed to the cross, purged by the blood of the Saviour, the Lord Jesus?
There is still time, even in the shortness of it.
Call on the name of the Lord Jesus and believe the gospel (1COR.15:1-4; EPH.1:13,14).
Even so, Come Lord Jesus (REV.21:20)

AMEN.

THE CHURCH IN AMERICA IS TO BLAME FOR THE 70 MILLION BABIES MURDERED IN ABORTIONS CLINICS IN THE U.S.A.

Had Christians come out in strength in 1973 to oppose the (Roe vs. Wade) opinion of nine (9) Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States of America, abortion wouldn't have been legalized in all 50 states.
For the life of me, I really couldn't figure out why pastors at that time did not lead MILLIONS OF CHRISTIANS to the streets and contended for the supremacy of the Bible over government on issues pertaining to life and to its sanctity, particularly life in the womb (Psa. 127:3; Psa. 139:13).
To date, 70 million babies have been murdered, and pastors and the churches are still uninvolved as can be, and, maybe, enjoying their BEST Joel Osteen LIFE NOW.
The hype of hypocrisy: To be able preach eternal life while allowing babies to be murdered at the Planned Parenthood Clinic nearest your place of worship.

American Pastors, innocent blood is in your hands. REPENT!

BABIES IN THE WOMB ARE NOT PART OF THEIR MOTHERS' BODIES!!!

The mother's body does not include the baby in her womb. The baby is his/her own body, a different entity from that of the mother's. It is a big fat lie and has no scientific basis.
The only contribution of the mother to the baby in her womb is food and shelter. The baby even develops his/her own blood. So when the baby comes out, the mother may charge him/her board and lodging, but she has no right to murder him/her.
If the baby were her body, it should have been there from the day of her (mother's) birth, and it should stay in her body for the rest of her life, for it would have been essential for her existence, like the heart and the liver. The fact that the baby has to come out after nine months and with no ill effect on the mother, only shows that the baby is not part of her body.
There is no escape for those who offer their babies to the god Molech.
Mothers, judgment is sure if you will not repent and turn to God, for your sins to be taken away through faith in the Lord Jesus. Amen.

ABORTION IS A SLAP TO THE FACE OF GOD, THE CREATOR!!!

(Job 31:15; Psa. 22:9,10; Psa. 127:3; 
Psa. 139:13; Eze.16:21)
ABORTION is an act of denial to the existence of the Creator God, and for those who claim belief in God, a rejection of His sovereignty over His creation.
A mother who murders her baby, in complicity with the abortion doctor, is rejecting the fact that children are from God, an inheritance from Him, and are beneficial:
"Sons are a heritage from the Lord, children a reward from Him." 
(Psa. 127:3)
And while in the womb, is being formed and molded by the very hands of God:
"For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb."
(Psa. 139:13)
There is no escape for those who offer their babies to the god Molech.

Mothers, judgment is sure if you will not repent and turn to God, for your sins to be taken away through faith in the Lord Jesus. Amen.

WARNING & EXHORTATION

The Spirit of God is moving in and amongst His children. The Holy Spirit is telling us to be clothed in sackcloth, with ashes sprinkled on our heads, in mourning for the billions that will perish as judgment descends on the unbelieving world. There is no more time for trivial matters that have weighed down our hearts in the past. Every substance, talent, and strength that we possess must now be harnessed for the propagation of the gospel and the edification and preparation of believers for the testing and the devastation that is coming upon the entire world.
Repent, oh Christian. Return to your Lord. Put your household in order. PERSECUTION IS COMING. The End of the Age is nearest. Fear no one; Instead feed the hungry brethren, visit those who are sick, comfort those who are in prison for the gospel, clothe the destitute brother/sister, weep with those who mourn.
The Lord Jesus, the Christ, must find us doing His will for our individual lives upon his return at the end of this age, that we may be able to stand on that awful and glorious day of His PAROUSIA (The Second Coming, the bodily return to earth of the Lord Jesus, the Christ, at the End of the Age, following the tribulation of those days, to establish his kingdom, judge his enemies, and reward the faithful, as described in [1THESS. 4:13-17]).

LIft up your heads, Christian brethren, for our redemption draweth nigh. Amen.

AMERICA IS AT WAR!!!

AMERICANS TALK OF “PEACE,” WHILE THEY THEMSELVES HAVE BEEN WAGING WAR AGAINST THEIR OWN BABIES FOR THE PAST 46 YRS.
3,500 unborn babies are murdered EACH DAY in America.
1 American baby murdered every 59 seconds.
1,600,000 babies murdered EACH YEAR in America.
70 million American babies murdered since 1973.
And add to those horrible numbers the selling of baby “body parts”.
But did you know, for comparison, that during the Vietnam war, only ELEVEN (11) American soldiers died daily (58,000 American soldiers perished in Vietnam)?
It is the hype of hypocrisy for America to be peddling and lecturing other sovereign nations about peace and security, when it is waging war against her own babies, killing them while in the safest place God has provided for them, their mothers’ womb, and while yet being formed by God’s hands.
"And you took your sons and daughters whom you bore to me and sacrificed them as food to the idols. Was your prostitution not enough? You slaughtered my children and sacrificed them to the idols. 
(Ezekiel 16:20,21)
"My eyes fall from weeping, I am in torment within, my heart is poured out on the ground because my people are destroyed, because children and infants faint in the streets of the city. They say to their mothers, 'Where is bread and wine?' as they faint like wounded men in the streets of the city, as their lives ebb away in their mothers' arms." (Lamentations 2:11,12)
"Look, O Lord, and consider: Whom have you ever treated like this? Should women eat their offspring, the children they have cared for?..." 
(Lamentations 2:20)
Americans are sacrificing 3,500 babies a day (70 million babies since 1973) to the idols of ease and pleasure, disregarding the author of life, God himself; and for this sin alone, God would judge her like Israel of old when, during the siege of Jerusalem in 586 B.C., food ran out, and mothers resorted to killing their children and eating them, hiding and saving what was left for themselves.
For this horrific sacrifice of life, the church is wholly to blame because the Christian church in America failed to exert its authority over government on the issues of life and marriage and sexuality. Now the government is rearing its ugly head and threatening to annihilate Christians and get rid of the Christian faith.

Oh, Christian brethren, come out of America while the window of opportunity is still open, for it is closing fast. There is still time for the church in America to repent and turn to God, and the call remains for genuine Christians to “COME OUT OF HER, MY PEOPLE, SO THAT YOU WILL NOT SHARE IN HER SINS, SO THAT YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE ANY OF HER PLAGUES; FOR HER SINS ARE PILED UP TO HEAVEN, AND GOD HAS REMEMBERED HER CRIMES.” (Revelation 18:4,5)

BRETHREN, IT IS FUTILITY TO PRAY FOR WORLD PEACE

We often hear this from Christians: "Let us pray for peace, world peace, peace in Jerusalem, etc."
To pray for peace is to not understand the Scriptures. There can be no peace in the world without the Lord Jesus, the Messiah, returning to earth at the End of the Age. And from the Word, we understand that things will go from worse to worst.
Firstly, we must understand that "PEACE" is promised/assured only to Christians:
“Glory to God in the highest heaven,
and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.” 
(Luke 2:14)
Secondly, we have been warned of the escalation of evil and the propagation of war in these last days:
As I watched, this horn was waging war against the holy people and defeating them, until the Ancient of Days came and pronounced judgment in favor of the holy people of the Most High, and the time came when they possessed the kingdom. 
(Daniel 7:21,22)
Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you. For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many. You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the BEGINNING OF BIRTH PAINS. “Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, 
(Matthew 24:4-10)
There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. People will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken. 
(Luke 21:25-26)
WHAT WE CAN DO IS IN (Matt. 28:18-20; Luke 21:34-36)
Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” 
(Matthew 28:18-20)

“Be careful, or your hearts will be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness and the anxieties of life, and that day will close on you suddenly like a trap. For it will come on all those who live on the face of the whole earth. Be always on the watch, and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen, and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man.”
(Luke 21:34-36)

(ISAIAH 17:1) IS BEING FULFILLED BEFORE OUR VERY EYES!!!

AND COULD VERY WELL BE THE HARBINGER TO (EZEKIEL ch. 38)
"An oracle concerning Damascus: "See, Damascus will no longer be a city but will become a heap of ruins." - ISAIAH 17:1
[A Great War is coming out of Damascus, Syria]
Unknowingly, all the major players in the so-called Syrian civil war, which started in 2011, are fulfilling prophecy (Isa. 17:1), which foretells of the future, now present, destruction of the longest inhabited city in the world, Damascus. And it is open secret that the so-called civil war in Syria is nothing more than a provocation coming out of Washington in order to lure (Eze. 38:4, put hooks in your jaws) Russia into a regional confrontation with NATO; the real target of the U.S. and her European allies being Putin, not Bashir al-Assad, M.D..
As the White House simultaneously enrages Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, Libya et al, these nations would have no other course of action but to unite and strike first continental America (Eze. ch. 38, the U.S. being inhabited by the 10 tribes of Israel; the present nation Israel is officially known as the JEWISH [JUDAH] STATE OF ISRAEL) and, in my humble opinion, inside the term of Barry Soetoro.
The proxy war has started, boys & girls; and the winds of war will soonest drift to America (NYC in particular).
TIME IS RUNNING SHORT, FOLKS. PUT YOUR HOUSE IN ORDER, SPIRITUALLY & PHYSICALLY.

Oh, Christian brethren, come out of the United Sodomite States of America while there is still time (Rev. 18:4).

THE PHILIPPINE GOVERNMENT MUST INVESTIGATE THE MURDER OF UNBORN BABIES IN THE U.S.A.!!!

(Because the church in America is not standing for Biblical truth. MILLIONS of so-called American Christians can do nothing against NINE (9) Supreme Court Justices)
Since Barry Soetoro is calling for a probe on the extra-judicial killings in the Philippines, the Philippine Government must also investigate the murder of unborn babies in the U.S.A. (3,500 babies/daily; 70 million babies murdered in America since 1973).
3,500 unborn babies are MURDERED DAILY in the United Sodomite States of America; So many babies being murdered daily by their American mothers!
We must look into this carnage happening in Planned Parenthood Clinics and other abortion mills across America. Ok?
WE MUST INVESTIGATE !!!
2 SOVEREIGN STATES INVESTIGATING EACH OTHER.

FAIR ENOUGH?

WAR IS COMING, BOYS & GIRLS

WORLD WAR III could ignite from any of these flash points: Ukraine/Crimea, Damascus/Syria, the Korean Peninsula, West Philippine Sea, Strait of Hormuz, India - Pakistan, etc.
And the common denominator here is the U.S.S.A. provoking Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea to make the first move to divert attention from the sinking $U.S. and the collapsing American economy:
the U.S. is $20 Trillion in National Debt;
$240 Trillion of unfunded mandated liabilities;
50 million Americans on Food Stamp;
90 million Americans out of work;
more than 4 in ten U.S. children are living close to the poverty line; and that in the land of plenty, the land of milk of honey, so to speak.
With the Islamic invasion of Europe & America, and the chaotic U.S. Presidential campaign, and the election that will never happen because Barry Soetoro will not leave 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., there is only the prospect of a nuclear war ahead of us.
Time is running short, folks.
Let us REPENT, brothers and sisters in the Lord Jesus.
(1THESS.4:13-17) will not happen as Secret Pre-Tribulation, Pre Wrath Rapture advocates would like us to believe, and the window of opportunity for leaving Babylon is rapidly closing.

Come out of the United Sodomite States of America, Christian brethren, before it is too late (Rev.18:4).

THE HYPOCRISY OF THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT!!!

[THE U.N. SECURITY COUNSEL MUST CALL FOR A COALITION OF "WILLING" NATIONS TO INVADE THE U.S.S.A. IN ORDER TO STOP AMERICAN MOTHERS FROM MURDERING THEIR OWN BABIES]
In 2012, BARRY SOETORO (aka B.H. OBAMA) accused the Syrian government of violently repressing protests demanding the ouster of President Bashar al-Assad, M.D., and for his alleged massacre of his own people (estimates range from 150,960 - 470,000);
and for this reason, Barry Soetoro called for a coalition of nations to crush Dr. Assad and stop the massacre of the Syrian people.
6,677 miles from Damascus, meanwhile, in the U.S.A., the U.S. gov't & the American people & the Christian church (or it would not have happened) have been legally murdering 3,500 unborn babies/day for the past 43 years (70 million since 1973). So it is imperative for the family of nations to unite and invade the United Sodomite States of America in order to put an end to the massacre of babies in the womb.
Biblically, this destruction has been predicted 5 centuries before the birth of the Lord Jesus, through the prophet Ezekiel (Eze. ch. 38), when Russia, China, Iran et al nuke the U.S.A. and destroy her in one day, even in one hour, and inside the term of Mr. Soetoro.

Oh, Christian brethren, come out of America while there is still time (Rev. 18:4).

SODOMY IS JUDGMENT IN ITSELF

(Romans 1:21-32)
Sodomy is not merely a sin, but, in itself, is a judgment for the sin of idolatry, which, in the perversion of homosexuals/lesbians, is the worship of self.
Not only is the depravity of sodomy a slap to the face of the Creator God, whose Son is the Lord Jesus, the Messiah, the God who is with us, but the corruption is so wicked that it is shadowed/accompanied by the following sinful acts (vs. 28-31):
depraved, wickedness, evil, greed, depravity, envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice, gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil things, disobedient, senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless.
Sodomy is embodied by sin upon sin, that those who do such things have no excuse and could expect only total destruction on the day of judgment.

REPENT!

GOD COMMANDS THE MAN OF GOD/THE PASTOR NOT TO GET RICH, NOT TO PURSUE AFTER RICHES, BUT WITH JUST A SUFFICIENCY OF FOOD AND RAIMENT, AS REPRESENTATIVE OF THE BASIC NECESSITIES FOR HIS AND HIS FAMILY'S SURVIVAL, HE MUST BE SELF SATISFIED WITH THAT.

Read: 1 TIMOTHY 6:3-11
Title: But if we (Paul, Timothy, and all pastors) have food and clothing, we will be content with that
Theme of 1st Timothy: The Pastor's Conduct
Without a doubt, the Apostle Paul was referring to the man of God in these passages, and God commands the pastor to "run away from all this," namely: conceit, unhealthy interest in controversies, quarrels about words, use of the ministry as a means to financial gain, the desire to get rich, and love of money.
FLEE, for the man of God/pastor who would cater to personal financial gain via the ministry of the body of the Lord Jesus will ultimately have a destructive departure from the sound doctrine of our Lord Jesus, the Christ, and from godly instruction, in order to tickle the ears of those from whom the cash flow trickles into his coffers, just to fall into a pit of his own design and filled with sharp stakes and spikes.
Pastor, are you rich financially?

If your answer is "yes," I can tell you now that your preaching is getting shallower each passing Sunday, and that you can no longer shout in rebuke: "THUS SAYETH THE LORD!!!"

Christians will NOT SPEND ETERNITY in heaven

Read: Revelation 21:3
Title: Now the dwelling of God is with men
The redeemed of all ages will not spend all of eternity in heaven, for heaven is exclusively the abode of God. While it is true that departed souls of the saints go to the presence of God (2Cor. 5:8), it is just an intermediate state, and all will accompany the Lord Jesus when He returns to earth at the End of the Age, right after the period of tribulation (1Thess. 4:14).

The redeemed of all ages will spend eternity on a new earth, and it is the dwelling of God, the new Jerusalem, that will come down to earth from heaven and time will be no more.

SALVATION IS A "GIFT," AND CANNOT BE EARNED BY WORKS OR BY OBSERVANCE OF THE LAW, BUT IS RECEIVED BY GRACE THROUGH FAITH IN THE LORD JESUS, THE CHRIST

[The problem of man is sin, and the ONLY SOLUTION to sin is death, the death of the PERFECT SACRIFICE, the Lord Jesus (Hebrews 9:22)]
ALL HAVE SINNED (Gen. 3:1-7; Rom. 3:23; Rom. 5:12)
The Law (Exo. 20:1-17; Jas. 2:10; Rom. 3:19; Rom. 10:5; Gal. 3:10-24)
Penalty (Rom. 6:23)
SOLUTION TO SIN:
1] Perfect Sacrifice (Gen. 3:21; Lev. 5:17; 2Cor. 5:21; Heb. 7:25,26; 
1Pet. 1:18,19)
2] Death of the Perfect Sacrifice (1Cor. 15:1-4; Rom. 5:6-11; Heb. 7:27; 
Col. 1:22; 1Pet. 2:24)
3] Resurrection of the Perfect Sacrifice (The Perfect Sacrifice must resurrect Himself (John 10:17,18; John 2:19-21; 1Cor. 15:14-17)
SALVATION IS A GIFT
(Eph. 2:8,9; Tit. 3:5; 2Tim. 1:9)
RECEIVING THE GIFT OF SALVATION
1] Repentance (Acts 3:19; Acts 20:21)

WHAT ABOUT GOOD WORKS?

(James 2:14, 20-24)
James is not saying that a person is saved by works and not by genuine faith. Rather, he is saying that people are JUSTIFIED (declared righteous before God) by faith alone, but not by faith that is alone. Genuine faith will produce good deeds, but only faith in the Lord Jesus will save the human soul. In addition, James was addressing Christians in this epistle, and not unbelievers (1:2; 2:1; 2:14; 5:7,8).
The verse that James cites (Gen. 15:6) to substantiate his point occurred before Abraham offerred up Isaac, which was only a proof of the genuineness of his faith.
Good works are the fruit of salvation, not the cause of it (2Cor. 5:17); considering the theme of James: “JUSTIFICATION BEFORE MEN"

THE WORLD IS ON THE BRINK OF A NUCLEAR WAR, FOLKS

(Possibly before December, to prevent Donald Trump from occupying the White House)
(ISAIAH 17:1) is the most logical trigger to this Great War, since it has been in the making for 5 years now, and is in its final stages of fulfillment; that is, the TOTAL DESTRUCTION of Damascus, the capital city of Syria.
The next possible scenario will be the destruction of the United Sodomite States of America (particularly NYC) by Russia et al, and in just one day, even one hour (as claimed by Putin).
And why will the U.S. be destroyed? Because her sins are piled up to heaven (murder of babies, sodomy, drug trafficking, meddling into the affairs of sovereign nations, among other iniquities); and God has remembered her crimes (REV. ch. 18).
Oh, Christian, repent, put your house in order, for the window of opportunity to do so is nearly closed.
To our American brethren, come out of NYC at least, the east and west coasts. Seek God in prayer for instructions.
Amen.

(NOTE: Russia can protect 1/3 of its citizens, approx. 40 million, in bunkers in case of a nuclear attack. The U.S. has none.)
