ALL THE TRUE
BIBLICAL SAINTS WERE THE PEOPLE SANCTIFIED IN THE LORD JESUS CALLED BY HIM IN
HOLINESS (1COR.1:2; 1PET.1:15-16)
September 16,2017, 10:10 pm
The LORD JESUS
CHRIST alone has the exclusive authority to reveal the identity of all true
saints, by His infallible words (1Cor.1:2; 1Pet. 1:15-16), never can be found
in the entire written Holy Scriptures, that anyone who had been canonized by a
man who erroneously asserts that he is “Vicarious Cristos” (a person who
deceptively claimed as the representative of the LORD JESUS on earth), can
declare a deceased person as saint by canonization process.
All the canonized saints of the Roman Catholic pope were not the true
Biblical saints, because all the Biblical saints were not declared saints by
canonization process of the pope. They were the devoted followers of the LORD
JESUS whom He called to be saints by following Him to be holy (1Cor.1:2;
IPet.1:15-16). All His Biblical saints even in these last days are not members
of any religious organization founded by fallible human kind, they are members
of the one spiritual body of the LORD JESUS (Rom,12:4-5: 1 Cor. 12:12).
The peculiar
identities of the true saints of the LORD JESUS have different contrast;
compared to the canonized saints of the church of Rome. Their spiritual
identity cannot be found in extremely religious persons in sect organizations
established by fallible persons. They have fear of the LORD, as their learned
wisdom (Prov.1:7); they revered much
the LORD JESUS in His inherent holiness, therefore He is their ardent
inspiration to be holy, for He who called them is holy (1Pet.1:15-16). Born again in their spiritually transformed
soul (John 3:3-7 ; 2 Cor.5:17) they renounced all destructive sinfulness by
having repentant heart, and willingly, subjected themselves to follow (Jn.
10:27-28) the absolute authority of the LORD JESUS, whom they received In His
fullness (John 1:12,16). In following Him as the LORD of all; (Acts 10:36) to
Him alone that they heartily do all things, for the LORD JESUS, not for any
fellow creatures in their willful services for the glory of Him (Col. 3:23-24).
They are not obstinate idolaters of human
made images, such as- sculptured, molten images and abominable portraiture of
artist’ religious art works derived from human models (Ps.115: Acts 17:29);
because all these dumb idols are the object of worship, adoration, and
devotion, of them that belong to pagan people. In the book of Psalms it is
written; “ Not
to us O LORD, not to us, But to Your name give glory Because of Your loving
kindness, because of Your truth. Why should the nation say, “Where now is their
God”? But our God is in the heavens; He does whatever
He pleases, Their idols are silver and gold, The work of man’s hands, They have
mouths but they cannot speak; They have eyes, but they cannot see; They have
ears, but they cannot hear; They have noses, but they cannot smell; They have
hands, but they cannot feel; They have feet, but they cannot walk; They cannot
make a sound with their throat.” (Ps. 115: 1-7)
The saints of the
LORD JESUS have willing heart to follow His commandments in the book of (Exo.
20: 3-6).“You shall have no other gods before Me. You
shall not make for yourself an idol, or any likeness of what is in heaven above
or on the earth beneath or in the water under the earth. You shall not bow down
to them, nor serve them, for I the LORD your God, am a jealous God; visiting
the iniquity of the fathers, on the children, on the third and fourth
generations of those who hate Me, but showing loving kindness to thousands, to
those who love Me and keep my commandments” (Ex. 20:3-6).
No one else can intentionally obliterate the three mandatory written
commandments from Exodus chapter 20 verses 3-6, because the giver of these
commandments, the LORD JESUS CHRIST, had given for all in this world stern
warning: “You shall not add to the word which I
am commanding you, nor take away from it, that you may keep the commandments of
the LORD your God which I command you” (Deut. 4:2).NASB
The church of Rome
did not include in their teachings the three mandatory command from verses 3-6
of Exodus chapter 20; to continue their sinful justification, adoration,
glorification of their canonized saints, and counterfeit portraiture of false
Christ and false image of Mary, portrayed in sculptured art works of their
commissioned artist, including portrait painters of the Renaissance years of
14th to 16th century. They acknowledge honor to their canonized dead saints by
their traditional feast with worldly celebration. The LORD JESUS said:"Rightly did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written; " THIS PEOPLE HONORS ME WITH THEIR LIPS, BUT THEIR HEART IS FAR AWAY FROM ME, BUT IN VAIN DO THEY WORSHIP ME, TEACHING AS DOCTRINES THE PRECEPTS OF MEN" Neglecting the commandment of God, you hold to the tradition of men."( Mark 7:6-8).
In the church of
Rome, their members pray to their canonized saints, and many of them have
incessant devotion to Mary, which they erroneously considered as mother of God.
Mary was just a channel of miraculous conception; when the LORD JESUS
marvelously incarnated in the flesh (Is.7:14; 9:6; Jn.1:14).
She was a saint,
for certain reason that she was among the sheep called of the LORD JESUS as His
sanctified follower (Jn. 10:27). Mary explicitly acknowledged “that her soul exalts the LORD, and her spirit
rejoiced in God her Savior” which is the LORD JESUS CHRIST (Luke 1:46-47).
Perpetual incessant
devotion to Mary, would consequentially be condemnable sin of idolatry
(Rev.21:8). The LORD JESUS alone; will forever remain the central focus of
worship, adoration, devotion, faith, hope, love and prayer, whereto we must
render our works, allegiance, duty, obedience and all things that He kindly
gave for all of us (Col. 3:23-24).
We will have wide
scope of knowledge of the truth; that no one else in the New Testament books;
had considered Mary, as the focus of prayer, for any petition of everyone, even
though she was among sanctified saints, who became faithful followers of the LORD
JESUS. In the entire book of the New Testament, no one else prayed to Mary,
neither to fellow saints which were the followers of the LORD JESUS. The early
church at Corinth, “they which were sanctified
in CHRIST JESUS called to be saints, in every place, call on the name of the
LORD JESUS, not to Mary. (1Cor. 1:2). In all of the epistles; never that
Mary was mentioned as the object of worship, neither their certain focus of
prayer, because all the faithful
followers of the LORD JESUS in their generation were not idolaters, compared to
the church of Rome in these last days.
Praying to any dead canonized saints and
Biblical saints, is a sin of necromancy, (Is.8:19) moreover, consulting a
medium or spiritists who whisper and mutter is diabolic wickedness agains God.
“When they say to you “Consult the mediums and the spiritists who whisper and mutter” should not a people consult their God? Should
they consult the dead on behalf of the living?(Is.8:19)NASB
All the Biblical Mary were dead thousand years ago; and Mary who was
the channel of the marvelous incarnation of the LORD JESUS never can be
considered mother of God, because she was just acknowledged as mother of JESUS
for certain reason of personal distinction from other women, namely Mary
Magdalene (Jn.20:1); Mary the sister of Martha and Lazarus (Luke 10:38-3); Mary
the wife of Cleophas (Jn.19:25) ; and Mary the mother of John Mark (Jn.12:3).
No one else in the
world has prerogative to make anyone a saint, the LORD JESUS alone who in
Himself have inherent holiness, without any sin; can sanctify, acknowledge and
call as saint, anyone who followed Him to be holy in likewise manner
(1Pet.1:15-16).
Many credulous
people were victims of the devil’s doctrines (1Tim.2:4); which deceptively, had
been the erroneous belief of them, that it is right to have adoration to any
canonized saints of the Roman church, (1 Tim. 1:1-3) because they refuse to
learn knowledge of the truth from the infallible doctrine of the LORD JESUS CHRIST. Whereas, He desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth (1 Tim.2:4).
“But
the Spirit explicitly says that in latter times some will fall away from the
faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons, by means
of the hypocrisy of liars seared in their own conscience as with a branding
iron, men who forbid marriage and advocate abstaining from foods which God has
created to be gratefully shared in by those who believe and know the truth”
(1Tim.4:1-3).
The Roman church
enforced their mandatory prohibition of marriage for all their priest and nuns,
a principle which is contrary to the given freewill of the LORD JESUS, for all
without impediment to be married just to a single partner. (1Pet. 2:16). Enforcement
of celibacy of the church of Rome never can be in accordance to the written
Holy Scriptures.
The Apostle Paul
himself wrote for our edification; “Nevertheless,
to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have
her own husband” (1 Cor.7:2). All the Biblical bishops can have one
wife, for it is a sacred relationship for the glory of the LORD JESUS.
Therefore, being married just with one wife, is one of the significant
characteristics of a Biblical bishop. As it is written: “ This
is a true saying, if a man desires the office of a bishop he desireth a good
work. A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant,
sober, of good behavior, given to hospitality, apt to teach. Not given to wine,
no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre, but patient, not a brawler, not
covetous”. One who ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection
with all gravity; ( For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall
he take care of the church of GOD?) Not a novice, lest being lifted up with
pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil. Moreover he must have a good
report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of
the devil.” (1 Tim.3:1-7; Titus 1:6-9).
In the “Seven Sacraments” of the church of Rome, “Matrimony” is one of
the seven; which is required for all of them, and we knew well that matrimony
pertain to a state of being married, but ironically, their enforced prohibition
of marriage within the hierarchical order, is contradictory, a compulsive
deprivation of freewill to be married, which is the devil’s entrapment for them
to commit fornication by keeping it secret activities.
Now that the church
of Rome had disregarded the real significance of matrimony, in their seven
sacraments, it is also ironical and absurdity, that they solemnized marriage
for the members of their church.
The church of Rome
had many canonized saints, but some of them after canonized as their saints,
were later on disqualified, is it not ridiculous? Their Saint Barbara and their
Saint Christopher, among others were disqualified. Comparatively different; all
the saints of the LORD JESUS CHRIST were sanctified for the truth by Him, not
by human being (Jn.17:17-19). Therefore, the truth set them free (Jn.8:31-32)
from the devastating destruction of sin and therefore the result of their
obedience of faith (Rom.1:5) to the LORD JESUS CHRIST. They that come to Him to
remain in holiness are His saints (1Pet. 1:15-16) which the Father gave to Him,
which will certainly not be cast out (Jn.6:37). Included among all sanctified
called to be saints of the LORD JESUS CHRIST are His faithful followers; all of
them that repented, had been born again (Jn.3:3-7); living for the LORD JESUS
with purity in heart (Matt.5:8).With unfeigned will to remain; totally,
absolutely, and exclusively ALL FOR JESUS forever, until the glorious,
marvelous, and the most awaited coming of Him. They remain blameless in their
spirit, soul and body (1 Thess. 5:23), all these people are His saints for
certain reason that they pursue holiness; as He who called them is Holy, the
LORD JESUS CHRIST, (1 Pet,1:15-16). In the original Greek Holy Scriptures, holy
is “Hagios,” that precisely mean; physically pure, morally blameless,
consecrated of the LORD JESUS, holy, saint.
Now, we should not
be credulous people like many in the church of Rome; believing whatever the
pope teach them, knowingly, that the pope is among all created fallible human
being that had committed sin (Rom.3:23). To the LORD JESUS that all of us must
believe, for all His words that had been written, because He is inherently
infallible who never committed any sin (1Pet.2:22).
