You Shall Know Them

The question then is can you recognize and do you really understand and desire to know what are the evil fruits of these ministers of Satan who are deceiving their members and all of the world in their religions? The very first evil fruit you are to look for in their lives and ministry is INIQUITY. Are they bearing the evil fruits of INIQUITY? This is what the true Jesus Christ identified as the evil fruits of false preachers and ministers and warned "by their evil fruits of INIQUITY you shall know them." However, today's confessing Christians and even the ministers of today's Christianity do not know what is iniquity, and they are willingly ignorant and resist wanting to know its meaning and will not study to know what constitutes this evil fruit. The words iniquity, iniquities, and sin appear in God's Word over 800 times. It would appear that Every Bible and Salvation interested student or disciple would want to know and desire that he must know What is the meaning of iniquity, so he won't be one of those people that Jesus Christ says He will reject when he comes?

Peter the Apostle, speaking the the disciples of Christ then and now said that "God raise up His son Jesus and sent Him to bless you and turning away every one of you from his iniquities," Acts 3:26. Is this the Jesus Christ that you worship and is turning you away from your iniquities, you sins, through the teaching of your minister? Or is you minister, not understanding what is sin and iniquity, continuing to permit you to continue in your sins by presenting a false Christ for you to worship?

Iniquity means lawlessness. Lawlessness means disregarding or breaking the law of God. It means people not even mindful of God's law and commandments. Strong's Concordance with its Hebrew and Greek dictionaries defines Iniquity from the Hebrew: to commit sin, make crooked; perversity, which means to turn away and oppose what is right and lawful and commanded. The Greek dictionary defines Iniquity as being lawless without law, without any concern for law. It means violation of the law; transgression of the law.

God's 10 commandments which when transgressed constitutes sin. So Iniquity means lawless ministers, who teach there is no law and no commandments that one is required to repent of breaking and to obey in order to be accepted by Jesus Christ, to receive His forgiveness of their sins. These lawless and corrupt evil ministers do not even understand "Why Jesus Christ Died" and permitted His body to be beaten, His flesh to be torn apart and blood poured out to such a horrible condition that He was unrecognizable, Isa. 52:14. This great love of Christ for man is all because man has sinned, committed iniquity greatly against Christ and His law, by breaking His 10 commandments and through man's sins, all of such have incurred the death penalty. So Jesus Christ extends His mercy and love to sinning man to save him from penalty of his sins, through His freely given body broken and blood sacrifice, but only if man will repent and change his life and accept Christ's sacrifice.

The Scripture tells us in Isa. 53:5 "But He was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities ---" Jesus Christ did not go through His terrible sufferings and pain and death which covers the penalty of our sins, so we can continue in our sins as being taught by today's false ministers.

These lawless preachers have raised up and created lawless false christs in all of their churches, who do not require any of their followers to have to live by the law of God to keep God's 10 commandments. People have accepted their preaching, that they can continue to live in their sins and iniquities and still receive forgiveness for salvation. Their faith is in a false salvation that the true Christ does not recognize or give to any such person. They have in their lives made the true sacrifice of Jesus Christ null and void as to the real understanding why it was given. They are trampling all over the shed blood and bruised body of Jesus Christ.

What if one sees a very vivid, real to life movie, dramatized with special movie effects, to produce great emotion and passion to make as real Jesus Christ's sacrifice, His sufferings and death as is humanly possible, and after people watch this movie will this reenactment of Christ's sufferings and death leave them with a understanding and everlasting reason and purpose to change their lives. Will this great and moving emotional effect on their lives through it dramatization of Christ's suffering and death really move them to convert them to change their hearts, if they really do not know and really understand with a firm foundation of why Jesus Christ suffered and died for sins? If people have permitted today's Christian ministers to do away with what constitutes sins in people's lives, then what will they base their great change in their life on, a figment of their imagination?

Today's false pastors are hypocrites by acknowledging that Christ suffered and died for our sins which are the transgressions of Christ's law, His 10 commandments, but to them and their members and to accept Christ does not mean any change in their life of commandment transgressions.They are openly disobedient to God's law and commandments and teaching it is acceptable for believers to be disobedient and continue in their sins, and that Jesus Christ will still accept them for forgiveness of their sins through His suffering, death and sacrifice. Are they and their members ever in for a time that the Bible speaks of as the gritting and gnashing of teeth when that judgment begins to take place on this earth, Mat. 24:51.

These impostors of Christ and His Word, teach openly and publicly that all of their members are still continuing sinners, and without question, they all are, all because of their minister's lawless teaching, and who teach that it is impossible to live a life without willfully committing sin every day. But they will answer, it is not willful sinning. If a person knows he or she has sins and continues to commit sins everyday, this has to be willful sinning and sins that are knowingly being committed as willful sins, or how would a person know he or she is sinning everyday? So he or she must know he is sinning willfully or if he is not then he is accusing himself falsely. Thus, they are left with the end result of sin and its judgment upon their lives and that is death if they are daily willfully committing sin. Heb. 10:26-27 teaches "For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more sacrifice for sins, v27 but a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries." Every commandment transgressor is an adversary of Jesus Christ and is against why He suffered and died.

Church members of these false prophets, preachers, pastors really have no incentive and motivation not to continue in their sins by listening and following their corrupt and evil ministers and their iniquitous teaching that teaches against God's 10 commandments. This is because their ministers have been trained in Satan's inspired religious churches, institutions and seminaries (where they bury the truth and law, God's 10 commandments) to accept their church and seminary's teaching, that no person can keep God's commandments, and so they teach that no one is required to keep God's law, so all can continue in their willful sinning. If you confess you are sinning, but you don't know what are your sins, you are trying to plead to Jesus Christ ignorance of His law and commandments, but Christ says ignorance of the law, where you are not studying and knowing His commandments, will not be accepted with Him for your forgiveness of your sins. If a person is not studying God's Word which is filled with understanding all about His commandments and law and repentance, then don't expect Christ's sacrifice and death to cover your continual unrepentant sins, because you are willingly ignorant of Christ's Gospel and His death.

No where can these false ministers find in God's Word any foundation for their erroneous evil teaching of permitting iniquity, giving permission to continue to transgress God' law, that they preach, that they write about. Their evil teaching is out of the pitt of hell and from Satan himself. This evil teaching of permitting iniquity, completely makes void Jesus Christ's death in their lives. Today Christians believe and have been made to believe that they can accept Jesus Christ and His sacrifice and still continue to willfully sin in their life. This is a willful and a deceiving lie that will leave all believers without receiving Jesus Christ and His sacrifice.

These evil ministers will accuse, put down, and persecute any servant of the true God who teaches one must repent and bear the fruit of obedience to God's 10 commandments in order to be accepted by Christ for His forgiveness of one's sins. They accuse that servant of being a legalist and teaching error. They accuse this servant of being a legalist in the sense that he teaches that commandment keeping, is what forgives ones sins, instead of Jesus Christ's sacrifice and death. These are more of their lies and are accusations against Jesus Christ and His true servants. This is more of their justifying and lying and a continuation of them bearing their evil fruits of iniquity.

No where in any of our articles can one find that this writer is teaching that commandment keeping is what forgives sin. However, this writer does teach that a required repentance to turn from breaking God's 10 commandments is first required by Jesus Christ for Him to accept you for His forgiveness of your sins through His blood sacrifice, suffering and death, Rom. 2:13. Sin is the transgression of God's law defined by His 10 commandments, I John 3:4. Paul says in Rom. 13:8-9 That if you keep the last 5 commandments you will be loving your neighbor. The same is true if you love God you must keep the first 5 commandments to have and express your love for God and for your father and mother (a father and mother representing God and His Way of life in teaching their children). If you transgress any of these 10 commandments and teaching against them, you are in a state of iniquity and an enemy of Jesus Christ and all that He went through to forgive you of your sins. You are also blaspheming Jesus Christ and accounting His blood an unholy thing, and are doing despite against the Spirit of His Grace, Heb. 10:26-31.

God's 10 commandments are the foundation of God's law and the foundation of God's love. This all means if a pastor or minister is disobedient to and disregards God's commandments, then he will go out and teach against God's commandments as not being the basis of true repentance to receive forgiveness. These pastors are actually teaching the people that iniquity, which is lawlessness, is acceptable in Christianity and so they will disregard all of God's 10 commandments as not being important in one's repentance and there is no need to obey them in order to receive forgiveness of one's sins, in order that Christ will accept you to grant you eternal life. Once again ministers are blaspheming Jesus Christ, His suffering, and death when they teach that Christ's death is not about forgiving the sins of people who are transgressing God's 10 commandments.

These false ministers are very subtle in their deceptive messages, which at times are difficult to detect in their smooth, corrupt teaching, but in fact are teaching against God's 10 commandments. They will say "yes we should keep the commandments of God," but if you pin them down and ask them does God require us to keep and obey His 10 commandments, including His 4th commandment in order for Christ to accept us for His Grace and forgiveness, they will always answer "absolutely not, that is legalism." Now when you check this out with Christ's Word, you will find this is an absolute lie and totally against Christ's teaching. Who are you going to believe them or Jesus Christ and His Word? They will also in their self righteous defense, throw at you certain of their pet, wrongly interpreted scriptures taken out of their context such Rom. 3, Rom.7, Rom. 14, Col. 2, I John 1 and others, all to confuse you due to your lack of Scriptural understanding. You must study to understand what Paul is teaching from the Word of God and not from false ministers speaking in defense of their iniquitous teaching.

   So today there is in what is accepted as the professed Christianity of Jesus Christ, many, many false ministers, pastors, and evangelists committing iniquity, bearing these evil fruits of iniquity throughout their lives and ministries. Yet, they are still accepted and believed by people, even though they are deceiving and lying to them. These false ministers will not teach repentance, or what is true repentance, or even what is sin, because they are willingly ignorant of what is true repentance, what is sin and so are rebellious against Christ and His teachings and confuse people about what is the true righteousness of Jesus Christ. This is the reason they are so filled with evil fruits of iniquity, unrighteousness, confusion and death in their ministry. They choose the way of iniquity, sin, and unrighteousness over the way of righteousness and obedience to His law and true salvation, and cause many to follow them in their wide path to destruction..

In the New Testament the word righteousness means in some verses and its context forgiveness and justification, and in other verses and its context, it means righteousness, meaning obedience to God's commandments, and in other verses the word righteousness means both of these meanings. Some examples of this are found in Rom. 6:13,16,18 with righteousness as meaning doing what is commanded by the law, obedience to God's Law, and in Rom. 3:21; 4:13, Gal. 2:21 the word righteousness means to be made right, forgiven and justified by Jesus Christ and His sacrifice. A verse where it means both of these meanings is in Mat. 6:33.

Righteousness means both to do what is right (obedience to God's commandments), and to be made right (made right through faith in Christ's justification, to be forgiven of one's sins by Christ's sacrifice). Jesus Christ teaches that you must obey God's 10 commandments to be accepted for eternal life, Mat 19:17. And Christ means all of those commandments, not just which commandments each person picks and chooses to obey and keep. Paul gives a partial list of transgressions of God's 10 commandments in I Cor. 6:9-10, and warns all believers that if any are committing any of these sins or such sins, they will not inherit God's Kingdom. Jesus Christ and His Apostles make their teachings very clear through their Words, if any minister is teaching and leading people against the keeping of God's commandments, he is bearing the evil fruits of INIQUITY, and will bear the wages of Christ's judgment against such evil fruits in the judgment. Some might desire to be sincere, but are ignorant of God's true righteousness and will still be judged, Rom. 10:3. Sincerity in deception will not stand in the judgment, but truth will.

But today what we have, in what is accepted as the Christianity of Jesus Christ, are false leaders openly teaching nobody can keep any of God's 10 commandments. This is a dishonor and a another slap of verbal bruising to the face of Jesus Christ, that is against all that Jesus Christ went through in all of His suffering, bruising and terrible scourging and death that He received at the hands of evil men. Jesus Christ suffered and died on the cross because of man's sins, transgressions of God's commandments, the evil fruits of INIQUITY, and gave Himself and His body to be so broken, beaten, scourged, torn apart, until most all of His blood had either drained out of His body or by His internal organs being so bruised from being beaten, were pooling, broken, loose blood inside of His body. It took the soldier's spear to release all of His remaining bruised and body contained blood to be drained from His body, all to provide the perfect sacrifice, in order to forgive and to cover for man's transgressions of God's 10 commandments. This was all for His love for man to be man's sacrifice to save him from the penalty of his sins, if man will accept his sacrifice, if not, man will have to pay the penalty for his own sins without receiving eternal life.

This was all permitted to be done because of Jesus Christ Love for sinners. Yet He still holds out His hand and calls for all to repent and to accept His perfect sacrifice, so that He can and will forgive all who will repent of their sins against Him and His commandments, and will give eternal life to those who will accept His broken body and shed blood for their sins. This does not mean, as is widely taught today by all of these false pastors, that one can accept Christ and then can go back out and continue in one's sins. This would be doing despite against the Spirit of His grace, Heb. 10:26-29. Study this Scripture for a true awakening and understanding.

   Jesus Christ will not accept and give anyone His Grace, His forgiveness, and salvation who does not honor, repent and obey His law given in His 10 commandments. The religious leaders in Christ's day were called ravenous wolves and Christ also called them hypocrites, blind guides, and snakes, Mat .23:13-15, 24, 33, and leaders who did not keep the law (John 7:19; 8:44) and "You shut up the Kingdom of heaven against men, for you neither go in yourselves, neither permit you them that are entering to go in," Mat. 23:13.

Today, it is no different! False, evil, and deceptive pastors and ministers are keeping people from entering God's Kingdom. Why was this so then and today, because of their evil fruits of iniquity. Those religious leaders professed they kept the commandments, but Christ told them they did not, but were hypocrites and liars, John 8:44-47. He would call today's religious leaders, who call themselves pastors and ministers the same, hypocrites, snakes, and blind guides, who do not keep the law, the 10 commandments, and you can always know them by their fruits of INIQUITY - LAWLESSNESS, disobedience and teaching against God's 10 commandments.

If a person does not know the meaning of iniquity, or the meaning of repentance, conversion, or what is sin, then that person will not be able to know by their fruits, who are all the false prophets, false preachers, false pastors and false evangelists.

   Secondly, you can know these false ministers, pastors, and preachers by the fact that they are not bearing the fruits of true repentance. True repentance bears the fruits of a changed, wicked heart of disobedience, to a heart of obedience to God's 10 commandments. Most people cannot even recite the 10 commandments and that is because the ministers of today's Christianity have not been teaching those commandments. Repentance is a true change and conversion in one's life to a new life that has value, purpose, and understanding God's love through the commandments of God and acceptance of Jesus Christ as one's Savior. John, the Baptist, warned the false ministers of God's Word in his day, and for today, to bring forth fruit suitable (fitting or worthy) of repentance, Mat 3:8. Today's ministers do not even know what is suitable, Christ accepted repentance, because they do not know what is sin and what is the law that defines sin.

   By examining the lives, behavior, and ministry of today's evangelists, ministers, and pastors, you will come to see they are fake impersonators, false ministers of darkness by the fact of truth that they do not understand what is true repentance. Understanding repentance is a basic requirement in true Christianity. And by further examination you will see that they are not teaching believers the need to bear the fruit of true repentance in order to be accepted by Jesus Christ for His forgiveness of their sins. So in your examination you will first come to see these confessed to be Christian ministers are not only bearing the evil fruits of iniquity, but secondly, they have not truly repented by their lack of the fruits of a truly, godly repentance, by the fact that are still breaking God's 10 commandments.

The very first commandment transgression that is the easiest to spot in looking at their fruits of iniquity which is manifested in the lives of all the false prophets and preachers is their, rebellion in God's face, and open transgression of God's 4th commandment He commanded in the beginning to kept holy. Their open rebellion is their transgression of not obeying and keeping God's Sabbath by their walking and trampling all over and making vain His 7th day Sabbath, by doing all of their work and pleasures on Christ's created and made Holy, 7th day Sabbath, Saturday, of His created week. And by this 4th commandment transgression they are breaking the first commandment, to put God first by putting man and his creation of a different created unholy sabbath, the first day, Sunday, of the week as the day they are all keeping and recognizing as the day to keep holy. This 1st day sabbath keeping is from Satan, the devil and has no Scripture foundation at all.

One that understands God's 10 commandments will see and understand that through these 2 commandment transgressions you will see they are automatically transgressing His 3rd commandment by taking God's Name in vain in their vain worship of Jesus Christ and their teaching of iniquity. And as you go through the rest of the commandments you will see that they are dishonoring their heavenly Father and mother by dishonoring the only Father, and only Son and Savior and the New Testament mother church by not following their teachings in all of their false worship, but follow their false church's teachings.

It is easy also to spot their 6th and 7th commandment transgressions of accepting the murdering of the very young through abortion and who also justify their spirit of murder through their evil anger against their brother without good biblical cause. You will also notice that they are either living in the sin of adultery or permitting others in their fellowship to commit that sin either through fornication, being a homosexual, pedophile, same sex marriages, bestiality, sodomy, without preaching against it or warning that they cannot inherit God's Kingdom committing such sins. The last 3 commandments you will notice that they are deceiving the people in believing that they are a true minister and yet are stealing the people's money of tithes and offerings under that false pretense of being a true minister, doing God's Work, and doing a lot of lying along with it. You will notice that they are liars and deceiving in their teachings, and if you have any discernment at all, you will see that they covet power, covet money, covet God's glory by their proud, self exaltation along with many of them coveting unlawful sex of any gender and of any age.

All of these transgressions are evil fruits of their iniquity and their ministry, and Paul warned in I Cor. 6:9-10, that any person committing such sins will not, to repeat again, will not inherit God's Kingdom. And yet the people, church members of churches, accept all of this iniquity as normal church leadership and fellowship, and truly it is the normal leadership of today's churches, but headed for destruction. None of this defines and describes the true leadership of a true servant or a true watchman warning and teaching the Word of God.

And thirdly, they are bearing the evil fruits of iniquity in their teaching, by teaching and leading people into permitting INIQUITY in their lives, and so are deceiving all people by preaching, and publishing a perverted gospel that people don't have to repent and obey God's 10 commandments, to be accepted by Jesus Christ for His forgiveness of their sins. This is hatred and blasphemy against Jesus Christ as one's Savior and for all that He came and gave His blood and life to fulfill the law of judgment against committed sins.

Seeing a very special effects movie of Christ's death will not change anything in a person's life if they do not understand that Jesus Christ died because everybody has broken His law, which is sin, and that sin is defined through the transgressions of any of His 10 commandments. If a person continues to break His 10 commandments, then you and all continuing sinners are continuing to spiritually beat, bruise, and tear the flesh and spill the blood of Jesus Christ, spiritually speaking, as your Savior and the Savior to all mankind.

This movie of Christ's sufferings and death could have some real special effects spiritually, if this understanding about why Christ gave His life was thoroughly understood, then it could truly produce special effects in people's lives in the sense of a real miracle taking place in a person's life. This could come about through a real confession and repentance of one's sins, conversion of the mind from following the flesh to following the Spirit, and then accepting Christ's sacrifice to receive salvation. But like so many other church works and mighty works of men as Jesus Christ foretold, they will do mighty works and all in vain, Mat. 7:22. He says these false leaders will do many wonderful works and He will say to them "depart from me you that work Iniquity," you that work lawlessness.

These evil and fake and rebellious Christian leaders are by all of their mighty works and their works of iniquity, not teaching, preaching, and publishing how one can become truly righteous before God through His true Gospel. Christ warns that working iniquity in their lives and ministry would be the evil fruits of these false ministers and all who are associated with them. These ministers of darkness by working iniquity and teaching people to accept the error of sin, do not understand what is sin, or Christ's judgment against sin. And so they do not understand true repentance, nor can they see the need for a believer to repent of their sins, because they are blind to their sins, and are causing all of their followers to become blind to their sins, and so they do not understand really Why Jesus Chris Died.

If a confessing minister, pastor, preacher, evangelist, or a Christ confessing member does not understand repentance, and what is sin, then he or any member of churches cannot deeply repent and confess their sins, because they don't know what they are to confess and repent of. If a minister or member cannot confess his sins and does not repent of his sins, then Jesus Christ absolutely without question based on the WORD of JESUS CHRIST, will not accept one for forgiveness of their sins, and will not give this sinning person, His grace, nor salvation, because this confessing believer, who like his minister, is bearing the evil fruits of iniquity. Jesus Christ taught people the need to repent in order to be accepted into His Kingdom, Mat. 4:17, and told certain sinners brought before Him "to go and sin no more." This means not to go and continue to willfully sin in one's life, as is so widely taught today in Christianity.

Today's confessing ministers teach that you cannot go and sin no more, so they have raised up false christs across the land teaching that you can go and continue in your sins, that no one can go and not continue to willfully commit sin. These false ministers don't have God's Spirit and they are denying God's Power in one's life, to help them to go and not to commit willful sin.

   You cannot be cleansed of your sins without repentance and the confession of your sins! Yet today's false iniquitous ministers are going about teaching that Jesus Christ will accept you in your sins. They are teaching in the reality of their messages, instead of go and sin no more, to go and continue in your sins, because they teach no one can keep God's 10 commandments. Christ told the woman brought to Him for His immediate judgment for her adultery, "to go and sin no more." Was she forgiven of her sin? Yes, she was, if she did not willfully continue in that sin or to knowingly continue to commit any sin. Another man handicapped with an infirmity for 38 years, but desiring to be healed and forgiven of his sins at the pool of Bethesda. Jesus Christ came by and healed him and told him "you are made whole, sin no more, unless a worse thing come unto you," John 5:14. Was this crippled man healed and forgiven of his sins? Yes, he was, and would you go and not willfully commit any more sins as this crippled man was told, knowing a worse thing than your crippled state would come upon you. I don't believe so.

If Jesus Christ would make such statement today in the presence of today's preachers they would answer as they are teaching in His Name each week, "but Lord nobody can live their life without willfully committing more sins." Today's ministers by bearing the fruits of iniquity, are leading people to believe they have been forgiven, made whole, by just accepting the Name of Christ and that they can go out and continue daily in a state of iniquity by willfully committing more sins.
