Ephesians 6:11-12
“
11
Put
on
the
full
armor
of
God,
so
that
you
will
be
able
to
stand
firm
against
the
schemes
of
the
devil.
12
For
our
struggle
is
not
against
flesh
and
blood,
but
against
the
rulers,
against
the
powers,
against
the
world
forces
of
this
darkness,
against
the
spiritual
forces
of
wickedness
in
the
heavenly places. ”
- New American Standard Bible
Ephesians 6:13-17
“
13
Therefore,
take
up
the
full
armor
of
God,
so
that
you
will
be
able
to
resist
on
the
evil
day,
and
having
done
everything,
to
stand
firm.
14
Stand
firm
therefore,
having
1
belted
your
waist
with
truth,
and
having
put
on
the
2 breastplate
of
righteousness,
15
and
having
strapped
on
your
3 feet
the
preparation
of
the
gospel
of
peace;
16
in
addition
to
all,
taking
up
the
4 shield
of
faith
with
which
you
will
be
able
to
extinguish
all
the
flaming
arrows
of
the
evil
one.
17
And
take
the
5 helmet of salvation and the 6 sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.”
- New American Standard Bible
1 The belt of Truth
TRUTH
is
the
fundamental
component
of
the
armour
of
God.
No
wonder
the
apostle
Paul
mentions
this
vital
[seemingly
least
important]
belt
in
the
first
place.
Without
the
belt
there
is
no
place
for
the
sword
.
Without
the
sword
there
is
no
offensive.
Therefore,
without
the
Truth
there
is
neither
the
Holy
Spirit,
nor
a
counteroffensive.
The
lie
is
debilitating,
seen
in
the
retreating
behaviour
of
‘eternal-hell-believing’
so-called
‘Christians
throughout
the
world,
when
confronted
around
this
false
belief
of
theirs.
Only
within
Truth
the
Holy
Spirit
resides
(
Galatians 5:22
).
Only
in
Truth
there
is
agape
love, the
love of Christ
.
Truth
is unconquerable, with the lie always being defeated by it.
‘Christians’
why
then
are
you
SO
hesitant
to
defend
a
‘Christ’
that
will
dump
gazillions
of
people
into
everlasting
damnation?
Why
are
you
SO
hesitant
to
even
try
to
[calmly]
justify
your
faith
around
‘everlasting
hell’,
let
alone
even
mentioning
it
from
pulpits?
How
about
cowardice,
embarrassment,
insecurity
and
most
of
all,
the
LACK
of
LOVE
!
No,
you
are
defending
yourself
with
outrages,
instead
of
embracing
the
Christ
of
Love
!
Why
do
you
hang
on
to
this
‘hell’
for
dear
life?
Because
you
WANT
to.
Because
it
feeds
the
innate
tendency
of
man
to
seek
revenge!
The
German
“
Schadenfreude
”
perfectly
sums
it
up.
Your
‘Christ’
will
eternally
abandon
billions
upon
billions,
but
what
does
the
Christ of the Bible say about ALL those people you condemn to eternal torment?
John 12:32
“And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.””
- New International Version
Does
it
at
all
look
like
you
are
free?
NO
.
Do
you
show
persistent
peace
in
Christ
in
general,
ESPECIALLY
amidst
confrontation
from
an
‘outsider’,
questioning
your
faith?
NO
.
Don’t
you
see
that
this
front
of
yours
is
made
visible
in
your
retaliations,
giving
yourself
away?
You
are
NOT
FREE
at
all,
because
of
the
lie
you
believe.
By
the
same
token,
does
it
look
like
the
world
is
free?
No.
The
world
is
at
war,
to
this
day!
And,
because
of
the
LIE
,
because
of
NOT
knowing
the
Christ
of
the
Bible
.
Any
war
starts
with
the
individual
at
war
within
him-,
or
herself.
Talking
about
wars,
‘Christian’,
are
you
taking
part
in
a
war
where
‘Christian’
fights
against
‘Christian’,
both
of
you
reading
the
Bible?
Does
that
look
like
unity?
NO
.
Satan thrives on disunity as he’s divided against himself
Matthew 12:24-26
“
24
But
when
the
Pharisees
heard
this,
they
said,
“Only
by
Beelzebul,
the
prince
of
demons,
does
this
man
drive
out
demons.”
25
Knowing
their
thoughts,
Jesus
said
to
them,
“Every
kingdom
divided
against
itself
will
be
laid
waste,
and
every
city
or
household
divided
against
itself
will
not
stand.
26
If
Satan
drives
out
Satan,
he
is
divided
against
himself.
How
then
can
his
kingdom
stand?
27
And
if
I
drive
out
demons
by
Beelzebul,
by
whom
do
your
sons
drive
them
out?
So
then,
they
will be your judges. ”
- Berean Standard Bible
The
so-called
‘Christian
church’
is
SO
divided,
with
thousands
of
denominations.
Does
that
look
like
unity?
Of
course
not!
So
the
bottom
line
is
that
the
so-called
‘Christian
church’
is
based
upon
the
LIE
,
the
lie
being
Satan’s
#1
tool
for
deceit,
all
according to God’s Counsel.
2 Thessalonians 2:9-11
“
9
whose
coming
is
according
to
the
working
of
Satan,
in
every
power,
and
in
signs,
and
in
wonders
of
falsehood,
10
and
in
every
deception
of
wickedness
unto
those
perishing,
in
return
for
which
they
did
not
receive
the
love
of
the
truth
in
order
for
them
to
be
saved.
11
And
because
of
this, God will send to them a working of delusion, for them to believe what is false,”
- Berean Literal Bible
Will God keep people in delusion indefinitely? NO.
Ezekiel 36:26-27
“
26
I
will
give
you
a
new
heart
and
put
a
new
spirit
within
you;
I
will
remove
your
heart
of
stone
and
give
you
a
heart
of
flesh.
27
And
I
will
put
My
Spirit
within
you
and
cause
you
to
walk
in
My
statutes and to carefully observe My ordinances.”
- Berean Standard Bible
What
a
wonderful
message!
ALL
will
eventually
walk
in
God’s
statutes
and
obey
His
ordinances,
with
new
hearts
and
new
spirits!
However,
while
still
believing
in
the
‘everlasting-hell-nonsense’,
you,
with
no
sword,
aren’t
equipped
to
ward
off
the evil one, falling prey to his snares. Holding onto this lie, you don’t qualify as a disciple of Christ.
John 8:31-32
“
31
So
Jesus
was
saying
to
those
Jews
who
had
believed
Him,
“If
you
continue
in
My
word,
then
you are truly My disciples;
32
and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.””
- New American Standard Bible
Why
not
make
it
your
primary
goal
NOW
to
scrutinize
the
Bible
for
the
very
verses
which
substantiate
the
salvation
of
all
mankind?
There
is
ample
Scripture
on
this
website
to
prove
that.
Matthew 7:7
clearly
states
that
if
you
seek,
you
will
find! Question is, do you want to seek? Do you have the courage to face the verses you deliberately ignore?
