The punishment we deserve was laid on Him

I deserve to die, and to face eternity in Hell. But both the guilt and punishment for my sins, was laid up on the lamb of God. 2.000 years ago.

The Messiah carried my sins on the cross at Calvary Hill in Jerusalem.

If a shepherd stop teaching the flock about sin and repentance, such a man is longer a servant of the Messiah. God’s problem with man is sin, and there is no place for such inside the Kingdom of Heaven.

Sin is a punishable offense against the Holy God. It leads to death, judgment and eternal suffering and pain in Hell.

Genesis 4:13

Cain said to the Lord, “My punishment is more than I can bear.

Psalm 81:15

Those who hate the Lord would cringe before him, and their punishment would last forever.

I do not stand a chance in the court of judgment. But thank to the Messiah, I am not facing the punishment that I deserve. Because on the cross on Calvary Hill in Jerusalem, Yeshua the Messiah took the punishment that I should face. He paid in full for my sins, with His own blood.

Isaiah 53:5

But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.

When someone has paid your bill, you do not need to pay it. Jesus has paid the bill for all of us. He only demands that we shall believe, that it is His blood alone, that paid in full. No on else can save you. Nothing else than the blood of Jesus from Nazareth will do the needful.

I will forever praise Him and honor Him. He is God, and my Lord.

If you reject Him, you are in trouble. Deep trouble. Because you are not able to pay for your sins, and will get the eternal punishment you deserve.

Matthew 25:46“

Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”

Up till today, mercy and grace is freely available for all. God the Father do not need to punish us, because His only begotten Son took our punishment. But as we approach the end, the age of mercy will end. And the age of divine judgment will begin.

This age is also called the Great Tribulation.

In this age, Jesus will no longer cover up for those who have served Satan. An armada of evil spirits will take mankind for a ride. The impostors will go from bad to worse. All slaves of sin, will participate in, or at least support Sodomy and perversions.

God’s wrath will be poured out on all flesh, and only the Children of God will be rescued. This divine moment of rescue is also called by many for “the rapture”.

1 Thessalonians 4:17

After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.

For all who reject the Messiah, there is no hope.

Jude 1:7

In a similar way, Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion. They serve as an example of those who suffer the punishment of eternal fire.

If you want to escape the coming wrath of God, you need to surrender to the only salvation available.

Only Jesus the Messiah has died for your sins. Surrender to Him today, and accept His Lordship over your life. Amen.

He is alive. He is risen.

The church of Rome massacred the Albigensian

As many as 60.000 Albigensian were massacred in France during a crusade from 1209 to 1229.

Cathars being expelled from Carcassonne in 1209.

The Albigensian Crusade or Cathar Crusade (1209–1229) was a 20-year military campaign initiated by Pope Innocent III to eliminate Catharism in Languedoc, in the south of France.

Catharism (/ˈkæθərɪzəm/; from Greek: καθαροί, katharoi, “the pure”)[1] was a Christian dualist movement that thrived in some areas of Southern Europe, particularly northern Italy, northern Spain and southern France, former Occitania and Catalonia, between the 12th and 14th centuries. Cathar beliefs varied between communities because Catharism was initially taught by ascetic priests who had set few guidelines.

The skull of Saint Celia in Albi Cathedral, a city were all the Christians were massacred.

Roman Catholic “saint” Cecilia is know to have had an angel if Lucifer as her lover. Read more at this link.

The Albi Cathedral is built on a site of a former Chuch. — The Albi Cathedral is built on a site of a former Church, destroyed during the masscasre.

The Cathars were a direct challenge to the Catholic Church, which renounced its practices and dismissed it outright as the Church of Satan.

It is likely that we have only a partial view of their beliefs, because the writings of the Cathars were mostly destroyed because of the doctrinal threat perceived by the Papacy; much of our existing knowledge of the Cathars is derived from their opponents.

Cathars, in general, formed an anti-sacerdotal party in opposition to the Church of Rome, protesting against what they perceived to be the moral, spiritual and political corruption of the Church.

The Cathars also refused the Catholic Sacrament of the eucharist saying that it could not possibly be the body of Christ.

The doors of the church of St Mary Magdalene were broken down and the refugees dragged out and slaughtered. Reportedly, 7,000 people died there. Elsewhere in the town many more thousands were mutilated and killed. Prisoners were blinded, dragged behind horses, and used for target practice.

Arnaud-Amaury wrote to Pope Innocent III, “Today your Holiness, twenty thousand heretics were put to the sword, regardless of rank, age, or sex”.

The Inquisition was established in 1234 to uproot the remaining Cathars.[60] Operating in the south at Toulouse, Albi, Carcassonne and other towns during the whole of the 13th century, and a great part of the 14th, it succeeded in crushing Catharism as a popular movement and driving its remaining adherents underground.[60] Cathars who refused to recant were hanged, or burnt at the stake.

From May 1243 to March 1244, the Cathar fortress of Montségur was besieged by the troops of the seneschal of Carcassonne and the archbishop of Narbonne.[62] On 16 March 1244, a large and symbolically important massacre took place, where over 200 Cathar Perfects were burnt in an enormous pyre at the prat dels cremats (“field of the burned”) near the foot of the castle

Hunted by the Inquisition and deserted by the nobles of their districts, the Cathars became more and more scattered fugitives: meeting surreptitiously in forests and mountain wilds.

After several decades of harassment and re-proselytising, and perhaps even more importantly, the systematic destruction of their religious texts, the sect was exhausted and could find no more adepts. The leader of a Cathar revival in the Pyrenean foothills, Peire Autier was captured and executed in April 1310 in Toulouse.

Daily bread from the life of Y´shua

John 2:17

His disciples remembered that it is written: “Zeal for your house will consume me.

The majority of the students of the Messiah were very ordinary men, many of them fishermen. When they saw Jesus rebelling inside the Temple Court, they were reminded about Psalm 69:9. This is an astonishing revelation. The Jewish students of the Messiah called Him «Rabbi», which means teacher. Jesus was a teacher of the Old Testament. He read and explained from the the Hebrew Bible.

Bible lesson # 13: Pope prays to Catholic saints. Christians pray only in the name of Jesus.

The Pope claims to know who have gone into Heaven, making them saints. The Bible says: Dont pray to spirits and the dead.

Kneeling down and praying to an image of a departed Spirit is banned in the Bible

My wife was horrified, the day she understood what I was trying to tell her, and stopped praying in the name of Catholic saints. I told her:

«How do you know that this man was a saint, and are in Heaven? If this man was a hypocrite, he is certainly not in Heaven, and will not be able to listen to your prayers. But a demon wold like to answer you, claiming to be the «saint». Please pray in the name of Jesus only. Thats the only guaranty you have for not being taken for a ride by an unclean spirit»

Both King David and the Jewish Apostle Paul called people present in their time on Earth for saints.

Psalm 30:4
«Sing to the LORD, you saints of his; praise his holy name».

Romans 15:31
«Pray that I may be rescued from the unbelievers in Judea and that my service in Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints there».

The prayer of the saints that comes up to Jesus, that He presents to our Father in Heaven, are from his living saints on Earth. Me and you. Not from departed Spirits.

To the radical opposite of whom the Bible tells us are the saints, the Pope of Rome waits till people have departed, before the Vatican starts the process of beautification and papal approval of sainthood.

I have always wonder how the Pope is able to search the heart of the departed. And how the Church is able to recall what kind of miracles that took place. Sometime the Vatican appoint their saint hundreds of years after their body and soul was separated.

The Word of God is telling us that what the Papal system are doing is wickedness, that will be punished.

Praying to and consulting the dead is paganism with roots in Egypt, presented as «Christianity» by Rome.

Isaiah 19:3
«The Egyptians will lose heart, and I will bring their plans to nothing; they will consult the idols and the spirits of the dead, the mediums and the spiritists».

In First Samuel chapter 28, King Saul goes to the Witch of Endor, and ask her to call up the departed spirit of Samuel. He is strongly rebuked.

1. Sam 28:16:
Samuel said, «Why do you consult me, now that the LORD has turned away from you and become your enemy?»

To pray to departed spirits is basically inviting Satan to come and give you a religious spirit. The Messiah Jesus warned us sternly not to trust any other shepherds than Him.

John 10: 8-9
Therefore Jesus said again, “I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep. All who ever came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved.

John: 10: 14
I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me.

John 14:6

Jesus answered, «I am the way and the truth and the life No one comes to the Father except through me»

John 8:24

«I told you that you would die in your sins; if you do not believe that I am the one I claim to be, you will indeed die in your sins»

Please listen. Repent from you sin of praying in any other name than Jesus. Repent or perish.

It is possible, that some of the people the Pope has declared saints, have made it into the Kingdom of Heaven. I cant be sure, because neither the Pope or I, would be able to read their hearts. Neither of us are their final judge.

But I am afraid, that quite a few of the declared saints of Rome, have ended up in Hell. This human tragedy is bad enough. But even worse, is the amount of religions demons that have been released by faithful Catholics praying in such names.

Thats why the book of Revelation, speaks about a Church that has turned into a beast, and a house of demons:

Revelation 18:2

With a mighty voice he shouted: “Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great! She has become a home for demons and a haunt for every evil spirit, a haunt for every unclean and detestable bird.

if you dont want to perish, you better get out of there, before its to late.
