John says there are true Moses like prophets in the last days. Does it matter to the fake believers that they don’t actually know any? Nope. Does it matter that God hasn’t spoken to any of their leaders in 2000 years?

The church won't be here in the last days...
However, we have the sure word of prophecy, the scriptures...
What else could we need???

Every rationalization always comes back to the same thing, they don’t have to do anything. Jesus Himself said every person that actually enters the kingdom of God will have to be as a little child here on earth. Humble, meek, forgiving, full of truth, repentant... there’s no getting around that for any human being. But the fake believers say all you have to do is believe. Even though Jesus said otherwise... it doesn’t matter to them.

Luk 18:9  And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others: 

Luk 18:10  Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
  Luk 18:11  The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. 
Luk 18:12  I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. 

Well there you go...That's you...Doing right and good in the sight of God...Worthy of the reward...


Here's me and the other born again Christians:

Luk 18:13  And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. 

'God be merciful to me, a sinner'....The sinner's prayer...We've done nothing to please God or to merit any rewards...In your eyes we are condemned to hell...

Luk 18:14  I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted. 

I'll trust in the sinner's prayer...

No, more like this:

Phil: Loves God and keeps his commandments and remains in his love.

Iscool: Says he loves God but doesn’t keep his commandments because he was taught once saved, always saved. According to Christ, Iscool is a liar.

The moral of the story is don’t be a liar. Keep the Commandments of God.
