The Decision Is Yours: Eternity in Heaven or Hell :: By Geri Ungurean

The analogy between the Ark which God commanded Noah to build for him and his family; and the Savior of the world who God sent to earth to die for your sins and then to be raised on the third day is truly astounding.

Have you rejected Christ in your life?

Your opinion of Jesus and rejection of his offer of Eternal Life will seal your fate. All other so-called religions offer false hopes. Hinduism offers reincarnation as a way of “bettering” yourself in your next life.  This is a lie from Satan.

The Bible says this:

“And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment” (Hebrews 9:27).

You have one life. You are utterly helpless apart from our Redeemer Jesus Christ. He paid the price for your sins, and made a way for you to be in heaven with the Father because of His Righteousness.

No one can work their way to heaven! How many good works are enough?  This is futile, and God wants you to know that He is waiting for you. He does the saving – not us. Do not believe the lies you have been told about God.  I am telling you the truth.

Our “works” before we are saved

Because of the Holiness of the Lord; and because He cannot abide sin in His presence – here is what He says about our so-called good works as we attempt to make it into heaven on our own:

“We are all like an unclean thing,
And all our righteousnesses are like filthy rags;
We all fade as a leaf,
And our iniquities, like the wind,
Have taken us away” (Isaiah 64:6).

Am I saying that good deeds are bad?  Not at all.  After we agree with our Lord that we are sinners and are in need of a Savior (Jesus) then our good works and deeds come out of a grateful heart towards God and toward others.

 When we are born again (saved) the Holy Spirit (the third person of the Godhead) comes to reside within us. We are no longer captives to sin. Does this mean that we will never sin?  Unfortunately, we are still in this flesh. Our flesh wars against the spirit. But the Bible says:

“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9).

Even the great Apostle Paul struggled with this:

Romans 7:15-20

 “For what I am doing, I do not understand. For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do.  If, then, I do what I will not to do, I agree with the law that it is good.  But now, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me. For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing good dwells; for to will is present with me, but how to perform what is good I do not find.  For the good that I will to do, I do not do; but the evil I will not to do, that I practice.  Now if I do what I will not to do, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me.”

Those who belong to Christ will be Raptured and receive new bodies

When the “Rapture” happens, we who are in Christ will receive new and indestructible bodies. We will see Jesus face to face.  Those who have “died in Christ” will be raised first, and then all of us who are in Christ will be gathered up to heaven with our Lord Jesus. We will never  be separated from Him again.

Those who reject Christ, have made a decision to be in hell for Eternity

I’ve heard numerous times from unbelievers this:  “If God is good, He would not send people to hell.”  He sends no one to hell!  He did send His only begotten Son, Jesus, to earth  to die an horrific death on the Cross. He sacrificed His Son because of His love for us. He made a way for us to be reconciled to Him in heaven. If a person goes to hell, they have sent themselves there.

Many love Darkness more than Light

There are people in this world who would reject Christ right to his face – knowing full well that they are destined to be in hell for eternity.  I have often said in my articles that I don’t believe there are true “atheists” – I think that these people are God haters.  Read what the Bible says about this:

 “And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting;  being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,  undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful;  who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them”   (Romans 1:28-32).  (emphasis added)

It is all up to you

You see all around you wars and threats of wars; natural disasters and other catastrophes.  Do you think that these are  just random events?

Read what the Bible says about the beginning of the end of days

The Signs of the Times and the End of the Age

 “Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?”

And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.  For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places.  All these are the beginning of sorrows”  (Matthew 24:3-8).

If you do Not receive Christ as your Savior – you will be here for the Great Tribulation

Read what the Bible says about the Great Tribulation 

“For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened” (Matthew 24: 21-22).

Choose Life

Forget all of the lies you have been told throughout your life. The lie of evolution is one of the most diabolical lies ever told.  You were created by God in His image. You did not evolve. You were never a monkey. God loves you.

Look around you at the beauty of this world. Just look at a perfect rose, or into the smiling eyes of a baby.  Look at the night sky twinkling with stars made by God. He has named each star – did you know that?

Hopefully, you are wondering what you should do to be saved.  Click this link and read the way to be born again from above. Make sure that you are sincere in this decision – God cannot be mocked.  He knows whether your intentions are genuine or not.

I pray that you are ready to relinquish your life to Jesus Christ. This is the most important decision you will ever make:

How Can I Be Saved?

Come Lord Jesus – Come Quickly!

Do Not Be Deceived: Farrakhan’s Jesus is NOT Our Jesus :: By Geri Ungurean

When I first saw the video of Louis Farrakhan “preaching” about Jesus, I immediately discerned that the devil was at work to confuse the brethren. I heard this morning that many believers are rejoicing over Farrakhan being saved.

This is a blatant lie from the pit of hell.

The Bible says:

“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.
Because you have rejected knowledge” (Hosea 4:6a).

The Qur’an

It is of the utmost importance to read and study the Word of God.  But through the years I have also studied the Qur’an (it’s available in English online) to better  understand our enemy, the devil.

Did you know that Jesus and Mary are both important figures in the Qur’an? It’s true. But as Satan has done so many times before, he twists the truth; he is a master at this “confusion.”

First, let’s look at the video:

Video of Farrakhan Speaking of Jesus as Redeemer

If you watched the short video, you heard Louis Farrakhan speak of his “redeemer” and he said the name of Jesus numerous times. If one did not understand the deceptive tactics of Islam, one would think that Farrakhan got saved.  Nothing could be further from the truth.

In the Qur’an, Jesus is NOT Crucified. In the Qur’an, Jesus is NOT Deity. These are foundational truths of our faith.

The Qur’an calls Jesus a messenger and a prophet of Allah. They believe he is coming back with a host of other messengers.

I want to share excerpts from an article I wrote some time ago about the Qur’an and the beliefs of Muslims.  Here are the excerpts from the article I wrote entitled:  (click the link)

Isa from the Qur’an is Not Jesus Christ from the Bible:

“I will be taking passages from the Qur’an about Jesus – whom they call “Isa” and then I will post Scripture which will expose the passages from the Qur’an as counterfeit. Should it surprise us that Satan would establish this religion? Satan always takes a little bit of truth, and then perverts it with his lies. He has been doing this since being cast from heaven by God.

Let’s begin at the beginning:

From the Qur’an about Abraham

“When his Lord tested Abraham with certain commands and he fulfilled them, He said, “I will make you a leader of men.” Abraham asked, “And what of my descendants?” He answered, “My covenant does not extend to the transgressors.” (124) And We made the House [the Ka’bah] a place of assembly and a sanctuary for mankind, [saying], “Make the place where Abraham stood a place of worship.” We commanded Abraham and Ishmael,”Purify My House for those who walk round it, those who stay there for devotion, and those who bow down and prostrate themselves.”

From the Bible about Abraham

Then God said to Abraham, “As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall be her name. And I will bless her and also give you a son by her; then I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of peoples shall be from her.” Then Abraham fell on his face and laughed, and said in his heart, “Shall a child be born to a man who is one hundred years old? And shall Sarah, who is ninety years old, bear a child?” And Abraham said to God, “Oh, that Ishmael might live before You!” Then God said: “No, Sarah your wife shall bear you a son, and you shall call his name Isaac; I will establish My covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his descendants after him” (Genesis 17:15-19).

Announcement to Mary from Qur’an:

A little truth mixed with lies = LIES

He said: “Nay, I am only a messenger from thy Lord, (to announce) to thee the gift of a holy son. 20 She said: “How shall I have a son, seeing that no man has touched me, and I am not unchaste?” 21 He said: “So (it will be): Thy Lord saith, ‘that is easy for Me: and (We wish) to appoint him as a Sign unto men and a Mercy from Us’: It is a matter (so) decreed.” (19:19-21, Yusif Ali)

And (remember) her who guarded her chastity: We breathed into her of Our spirit, and We made her and her son a sign for all peoples. (21:91, Yusif Ali)

Announcement to Mary in the Bible:

“Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. And having come in, the angel said to her, “Rejoice, highly favored one, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women!” (Luke 1:26-28).

“He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David. And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end” (Luke 1:32-33).

Jesus is a messenger (Prophet) in Qur’an:

“He said: “I am indeed a servant of Allah: He hath given me revelation and made me a prophet.”(19:30, Yusif Ali)

“O People of the Book! Commit no excesses in your religion: Nor say of Allah aught but the truth. Christ Jesus the son of Mary was (no more than) a messenger of Allah, and His Word, which He bestowed on Mary, and a spirit proceeding from Him: so believe in Allah and His messengers. Say not “Trinity” : desist: it will be better for you: for Allah is one Allah: Glory be to Him: (far exalted is He) above having a son. To Him belong all things in the heavens and on earth. And enough is Allah as a Disposer of affairs. (4:171, Yusif Ali)

Christ the son of Mary was no more than a messenger; many were the messengers that passed away before him. His mother was a woman of truth. They had both to eat their (daily) food. See how Allah doth make His signs clear to them; yet see in what ways they are deluded away from the truth!” (5:575, Yusif Ali)

Jesus is God in the Bible

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it” (John 1:1-5).

“And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth” (John 1:14).

The Crucifixion denied in the Qur’an:

“That they said (in boast), “We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah”;- but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not.” (4:157,Yusif Ali)

The Crucifixion told in the Bible:

“And He, bearing His cross, went out to a place called the Place of a Skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha, where they crucified Him, and two others with Him, one on either side, and Jesus in the center. Now Pilate wrote a title and put it on the cross. And the writing was: JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

Then many of the Jews read this title, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, Greek, and Latin.” (John 19:17-20)

“After this, Jesus, knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, “I thirst!” Now a vessel full of sour wine was sitting there; and they filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on hyssop, and put it to His mouth. So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished!” And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit.” (John 19:28-30)

You are cursed if you say Jesus is God’s Son in Qur’an:

The Jews call ‘Uzair a son of Allah, and the Christians call Christ the son of Allah. That is a saying from their mouth; (in this) they but imitate what the unbelievers of old used to say. Allah’s curse be on them: how they are deluded away from the Truth! (9:30, Yusif Ali)

“Such (was) Jesus the son of Mary: (it is) a statement of truth, about which they (vainly) dispute. 35 It is not befitting to (the majesty of) Allah that He should beget a son.Glory be to Him! when He determines a matter, He only says to it, “Be”, and it is.” (19:34-35, Yusif Ali)

Jesus – Son of God in the Bible:

“Most assuredly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will live.” (John 5:25)

“Do you say of Him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’?” (John 10:36)

“When Jesus heard that, He said, “This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified through it.” (John 11:4)

“But He kept silent and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked Him, saying to Him, “Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?” Jesus said, “I am. And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.” (Mark 14:61-62)

The deity of Jesus Christ, and His Crucifixion are foundational to the Christian!

Let’s look at the God of the Bible and Allah. It’s important for us to be able to explain the truth to others, when so many are being deceived. First of all, our God is a Triune God. Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Look at this passage from the Old Testament:

“And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth” (Genesis 1:26).

God was telling us from the beginning that He is Triune! I wonder how I missed this as a Jewish child growing up in the synagogue.

The moon god of Islam has nothing in common with the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. One day, Mohammed will bow down and confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

The God we worship is one God, existing in three persons; Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The term “Godhead” is mentioned in the Bible three times:

“Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man’s device” (Acts 17:29).

“For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse” (Romans 1:20).

“For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily” (Colossians 2:9).

Now let’s look at a passage from the Qur’an about Allah:

Quran, 5:73 (Yusuf Ali), “They do blaspheme who say: Allah is one of three in a Trinity: for there is no god except One Allah. If they desist not from their word (of blasphemy), verily a grievous penalty will befall the blasphemers among them.”

It is quite clear that Islam rejects the teaching of the triune God. Not only do they reject this, but they call anyone who believes it a blasphemer!

Brethren, please keep this article for a reference. Satan is roaming about in this world, deceiving and confusing people. The Word of God reigns supreme in the lives of Christians. Always use it to know truth!

“All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work” (2 Timothy 3:16-17).

May you always be equipped for every good work! -source

Brethren, in the Farrakhan video, you see “Taqiyya” at work in its purest form. What is Taqiyya?

What is Taqiyya?

Louis Farrakhan is NO Christian. Again – Don’t be deceived by his latest video! He uses the name of our Messiah Jesus Christ as a tool to trick and confuse believers. Satan is pure evil, but he is very smart. He knows the Word of God better than probably anyone. He uses a little truth but mixes it with lies.  And what is a bit of truth mixed with lies?   It is LIES.  ALL LIES.

Here are a two other videos of Farrakahn speaking of Jesus the “Muslim” way – just in case you are not convinced that this man is a liar. Go to youtube and watch Farrakhan lie about our Blessed Redeemer: (click these links)

Farrakhan teaches that Jesus was a Muslim

 

Farrakhan teaching that Jesus is Muhammad 

 

PLEASE pass this article on to any of the brethren who have been fooled by the devil.  This is vitally important – especially with the lie of “Chrislam” being taught as truth.

I will leave you with this:

On the top of the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem is written in Arabic these words:

“God Has No Son”

Seek Wisdom, Discernment and Knowledge from our God!
