1 | Is asking for money false? | 2 John 1:10 | NewCovenant7777 | 143780 | ||
Oh, I needed to summarize by saying as with the Jews,"... not all Israel are of Israel" (Rom 9:6), and keeping with "The Association", "not all that say they are Christians are Christians." (2Tim 3:5 and 4) Just as there will only be a "remnant" saved from Israel, there are only "a few" saved from the Church. Judgment is beginning in the House of God and the "False Claimers/Apostates/Dogs/Idolaters, will be thrown out. I say this, as I do with all my bold truths, with sorrow upon sorrow, but I rest in God's Providence and Predestination. ( I am not Calvinistic. John Calvin was an Apostate too...Predestination doesn't preclude "our choice" that was made at the foundation of the world. I KNOW Predestination is a very misunderstood and feared topic in Scripture, but again, it is in Romans 9 and God has graciously revealed, as He does, with all His Truth, to me(and all that will sell all to have their ears and eyes opened)...but I don't have time to fully explain at this time. This "may" be my last correspondence. I do enjoy the interaction on the Forum, however I know the Lord is leading me to leave soon, so I doubt I will be on much, but "this thing can be addictive"...LOL Crucified in HIM, Luis |

Greetings Hank, "Very Briefly", I said "used" to attend Southeast Christian. Your observation is correct, Southeast Christian and God/True Christians, have nothing in common. Southeast Christian is "One" of the "Poster Churches" for Apostasy(Difficult to give them this exclusive honor since there are soooo many other churches trying to out do one another for this "Coveted Award"...LOL...My mother, brother and his family still attend there by the way...and I have snuck in unawares on two occassions since they barred me from their property..."Yes" I have ben barred from their Property(Cain Society) and spent 44 "glorious days" in jail compliments of them...To God be the Glory/Please read Matt 10 and 24). I was arrested falsely (it does happen), but as with Joseph, what the devil meant 4 evil, God turned into the best 44 days of my life, up to that point...of course since then things have only gotten better and better. This happened on 9-12-03, by the way. And I have had other arrests, but "I don't want to boast"...LOL My point in sharing my "American Churchianity Background" was to establish "that I too" was a part of the Apostate Church(only by memebership, not in my redeemed soul where Christ flows...), but "always" knew something(Idolizing of the Bible, Jesus, and The Cross) wasn't right. However, "I was too nearsighted/little faith"(had not sold all) to see there was an Alternative (Worshipping God in Spirit and in Truth with others that have sold all through True Home Churches around the US and world. Hank, let me give you a series of Related Associations: ***(See if you can see the similarities) -Physical Jews/Apostate Church -Spiritual Jews/True Christians -Law/Word -Old Covenant/New Covenant -Physical Jews pursued the Law in their own strength (Romans 10:2)/Apostate Christians try to live 4 God/Jesus in their own strength(2Tim 3:5 and 4) -Jews built Synagogues/Apostates build Churches. -Physical Jews "represented by Pharisees, but not "exclusive to them/followers too", told Jesus, Abraham was Their Father/Apostates "represented by False Teachers" tell the Holy Spirit and all that will listen, "Jesus is Lord" -As Jesus told the Physical Jews "represented by the Pharisees" if Abraham was your father, you would know who I am and receive the Truth I speak...the Holy Spirit is saying the same thing to the Apostate Church/False Teachers and all their followers. Remember, nothing is new under the sun. Apostasy/Reprobation has been going on since Cain, and really Lucifer was the Pioneer of Rebellion. Scripture says there will be "many" who praise HIM/Jesus with their lips, but their hearts will be far from HIM (Image of a gulf of separation), They think they will be heard for their "many words"(teaching, prayers, etc...), They give out of "their abundance" (God has blessed me sooooooo much, I want to give back, give to missions, tithe, offerings, etc...) In closing, Jesus "was/is" a Maverick...Flesh vs Spirit. In, but not of the world. What part of "many" are called, but "few" are chosen...Do you not understand??? The "many" are the souls that call themselves Christians (liars/story tellers/lovers of themselves), but "the few" are the one's that have sold all and that are "True Christians". Incidentally, "being born again" is the "beginning of the "selling all/crucifixion process/transformation process/sanctification." Crucified in Him, Luis |

"Sell All" Scriptures: Matt 13:44 "The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in the field, which a man found and hid again; and from joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field. 2 Matt 19:21 Jesus said to him, "If you wish to be complete, go and sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me." 4 Mark 10:21 Looking at him, Jesus felt a love for him and said to him, "One thing you lack: go and sell all you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me." Acts 2:45 and they began selling their property and possessions and were sharing them with all, as anyone might have need. Luke 14:26 "If anyone comes to Me, and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be My disciple. Luke 14:27 "Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple. John 8:31 So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, "If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine; John 8:32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free." Heb 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. John 14:6 Jesus *said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me. Greetings to "All on The Forum", this will be my last correspondence. Christ has shared "His Truth in love" through me the past 5 days, and My Hope is that the sharing of His Word without compromise, will bear fruit. The Lord is leading me to leave you with this Scriptures: Matt 11:28 "Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Matt 11:29 "Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and YOU WILL FIND REST FOR YOUR SOULS. Matt 11:30 "For My yoke is easy and My burden is light." Jer 17:9 "The heart is more deceitful than all else And is desperately sick; Who can understand it? Matt 13:16 "But blessed are your eyes, because they see; and your ears, because they hear. Heb 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. John 14:6 Jesus *said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me. It has been a pleasure to meet you all, and I hope to see you all in New Jerusalem (or sooner). Crucified in Him, Luis.......John 15:13 "Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends. |

When I say "you" in this, it isn't a personal attack. The "you" I am speaking to is the "majority(the left and right)". Greetings Mark, with all due "respect you are rationalizing your way" to destruction. To assert Jesus never told anyone to "sell all" is not only incorrect it demonstrates that you indeed have eyes, but don't see,... and ears, but don't hear. You are calling good evil and evil good. You are guilty of the same thing the wicked servant was in Matt 25, you are calling The True God/Truth a "Hard God" because He doesn't sow or reap in your rebellion. You are not rejecting what I am saying, which is the Word of God, but you are rejecting HIM. If you think for a moment that the The Faithful through out Scripture lived as Aliens and suffered much persecution to the point of death was just a "Phase of Christianity" you are "self deceived". If you, and other "professing christians" think you can say a prayer and live a comfortable life and praise and worship Jesus then I have nothing else to say, other than...REPENT OR PERISH!!! (Do you suppose that, to sell his tents, Paul may have had to purchase tents?) You truly are blind...sigh... You "profess to be wise..." Was Paul a part of His Culture??? Did he blend in as American Christians do? This is the point! Paul suffered 40 minus 1 lashes 5 times, was stoned...He suffered for the truth, and did it with joy, by the way...Do you??? Why not? Did Jesus not say that a student is not above His Master, and if they hated HIM, they would hate His True Disciples??? Are you hated??? And please don't say, "well we don't suffer because we have freedom of religion"...this is the problem!!! Every nation has drunk of the cup of wickedness (Rev 18:3) and the USA is Babylon and will suffer her end very soon!!! Before you laugh and mock, please read Rev 17 and 18...and stop making Jesus out to be Mr. Rogers, Mother Teresa, and Santa Claus all rolled into One!!! The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob "still" executes His Judgment and has never ceased. There wasn't/isn't an "Old Testament a New Testament Personality of God". God is not Schizophrenic!!! Do you think the Idolaters knew what or who was executing "so called natural disasters/acts of mother nature" back then? NO, and just as Idolaters were blind to God's coming judgment in the Days of Noah, so are they today. It causes me great concern you "seem" to be so blind. By the way, the Son of Man will return as in the Days of Noah, and please read Matt 10 and see that the Faithful b4 He returns will be delivered unto death. Sooooooooo explain to me why American Christians aren't suffering this way?????? (If I follow a formula and not His leading in my life, how much blessing will I not receive for not being a part of His purposes?) ***If that isn't the pot calling the kettle black, I have no Idea what is...LOL... Mark, How did Jesus live? He said if you don't live the same life, YOU CAN'T BE HIS DISCIPLE...I am not following a formula, CHRIST LIVES HIS LIFE THROUGH ME AS HE DID THE FAITHFUL IN SCRIPTURE...I dont pattern myself off anyone(not looking to the left or right). I have simply sold all and Christ, Who is the Word of God, lives the Word of God through my crucified soul...Get it??? It takes no effort on my part(burden-light/yoke-easy)...I have entered His Sabbath Rest/Crucified...Welcome to True Christianity. You are the one living by the standards of the world and the apostate church, so dont tell me about following a formula. You are playing it safe and going with the majority, need I remind you "many" are called, but "few" are chosen...Christ has shared His Truth through me and "apparently and up to now" you have rejected it. I have nothing else to say...shaking off the dust... "If and when" you come to your senses, let me know...otherwise...I have nothing else to say. Am I not loving you by telling you the truth? Yet, you will call me a "hard man and a lone-ranger". Sigh...Is it wrong 4 me to be filled with sorrow upon sorrow due to fact the blind and dead walk the streets and the smell of death is everywhere??? I am not living "some new way of Christian Living", Christ is living the "Foundational Life of Christianity" literally through me...is this heresy? or is the "rationalizing God is doing a new thing", heresy? Don't add or subtract!!! ***I am sending Scriptures that speak of selling all and living as Jesus did, which are one in the same. Crucified in HIM, Luis |

Greetings Doc, "seems" being the operative word. Only the Holy Spirit can reveal to you the truth and how He works. My explaining obviously doesn't open one's ears or eyes. He that hath ears, let Him hear... "Sell All" Scriptures: Matt 13:44 "The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in the field, which a man found and hid again; and from joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field. 2 Matt 19:21 Jesus said to him, "If you wish to be complete, go and sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me." 4 Mark 10:21 Looking at him, Jesus felt a love for him and said to him, "One thing you lack: go and sell all you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me." Acts 2:45 and they began selling their property and possessions and were sharing them with all, as anyone might have need. Does Jesus/God contradict Himself or perhaps you don't have ears? Or at best your hearing is severely diminished, and selling all is the only cure. ***Please read John 6 when Jesus spoke of "eating His flesh and drinking His Blood", it appears to me you are in the same camp as the disciples who didn't follow Jesus any more when they found out the cost and they were exposed by their "blind and deafness" to who Jesus was and what He was saying when He said "eat my flesh and drink my blood" and when He said, "sell all".(Just a thought) I don't say any of this to be mean, but again as the Scripture says, "they have eyes, but don't see, and ears, but they don't hear". Jesus told people to sell all and no where do I see He said, "just kidding", or did He run after them begging or offering a more "palatable choice" of saying "ask ME into your heart/sinner's prayer." (the angel of light does that... father of lies!!!) I hope this Scripture identifies you: 2 Pet 1:9 For he who lacks these qualities is blind or short-sighted, having forgotten his purification from his former sins. "Short sighted is better than being "no-sighted". Please read all of 2Peter 1. Pay particular attention to 1:3 where it speaks of the "divine power". Who is that "divine power", and how do we get it/HIM? It is Christ Jesus, our only hope of glory, flowing "all good things" through our crucified souls, amen and amen. How do we get this power/Christ? Sell all! Be crucified!! Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life,... right?. Verses 6 and 7 in 2Peter 1 also speak of "goodness". Where or from Whom does this Goodness come from? Please read Luke 18:19(We are all the Rich Young Ruler or at least "Wannabees"), and tell me who is Good? Jesus, right? Ok, where did the Holy Spirit lead Jesus? To His Cross? Where does the Holy Spirit lead us? To our cross, "take up your cross and follow me"...again "selling all". Again, "he that hath ears let him hear". I hope this has helped, it if hasn't, then there is not much else I can do(not that I could do anything anway...NO ONE cometh unto the Father, but the Spirit draweth them")... and where did the Spirit lead Jesus? Awwww, and where did the Spirit lead Jesus in Luke 4(The temptation by the devil?) Please read it and observe the fact Jesus "rejected everything of this world and the "prince of it".(Also, recall Solomon, the wisest man in the world said evrything of this world is "meaningless/vanity") So, Jesus was an Example of "selling all"...amen and amen...ONLY The Truth will set you FREE! Are you "really" free??? Seek the Lord and you will find HIM, "if you are willing to sell all."...unless Jesus isn't the same y-day, today, and forever? ...or unless He, The Word of God, is dead? Remember the angel of light "makes a way seem right to a man", but that way ends in destruction. Again, my hope is that this isn't the case with you, or anyone that read this, however, either Jesus just said things or He meant what He said...again, "he that hath ears let Him hear..." I have shared truth, whether you receive it or not, is between you and God. If you have any "further sincere" questions about "selling all", I will be happy to answer them and share scripture, but I will not debate "this obvious truth" any more...( I say this with soberness, not anger.) ***Also, Please understand "I resisted "selling all" for 38 2/3 years... Crucified in HIM, Luis |

Spelling Changes: Greetings Brad, briefly, I believe if Jesus and Paul, Peter, and the other Disicples were here today, you would call them "lone-rangers too", so I receive the compliment...The Church began, as the Holy Spirit led the Faithful to start and "continue" Home Churches...Question is, why did it change? Who led the change? (angel of light???)Remember "many"/mega are called, but "few" are chosen. And don't be "put off" by my phrase "Network of Home Churches" that simply means the Body of Christ around the world fellowshipping in Home Churches. Led and taught by God, not by man. Your body is made up of a "network", isn't it??? Again, with many of the "phrases" I use they are simply assisting in creating an Image, but take away the the phrase and it is simply the Body of Christ... Thanks 4 your inquiry...

Greetings Mark, sorry 4 the delay...had a hard time finding this... Greetings, I appreciate your inquiry and seeking to test the spirits and to understand the truth... The phrase "crucified soul" is simply using two words instead of one, "crucified" to describe a soul/person that has sold all and is following Him. It simply means that the soul is allowing Christ to flow through him/her in the most efficient way possible...When a soul is crucified or sold all, he/she is no longer in submission to or the applying of human principles and ways. Please read Luke 4 and Col 2 I just did a word search for "crucified" on my Bible PDA Software and it found a total of 37 times the word is used, 23 in the Gospels, obviously referring to Jesus being crucified, and then in "The Non-Gospels" referring back to Jesus being crucified, but also referring to God's desire for "souls" that profess to be believers to become, "crucified". Scripture also speaks of being crucified in many different words and phrases Here are some examples: -"Worship God and God only" -2Chron 7:14 -"Not by might,nor by power..." -"Live by every word from the mouth of God"(Symbolized by Bread of Life, Living Water and Lord's Supper) -Can't serve God and Mammon" -"Go and sin no more" -"Sell All" - "Eat my flesh and drink my blood"(Lord's Supper) -"...no where to lay my head" -"Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone, but if it die, it brigeth forth much fruit" -"Hate mother and father", -"Hate own life" -"Lay down life" -"Apart from me you can do nothing" -"Be holy as I am holy" -"First/Last" -"Lose/Find" -"Decrease/Increase" -"Humble/Exalt" -"Mustard Seed Faith" -"Blessed are the poor in spirit"(Most of the Sermon on the Mount describes the crucified) -"a Little leaven" -"Pick up your mat" -"Faith made whole" -"Cleanse your hands ye sinners" -"Handle not, Taste not, Touch not" -"When I am weak, then I am strong" -"Don't work for that which will perish" -"Don't be involved in civilian affairs" -"Without faith (Christ flowing/not by might,nor by power, but by His Spirit...) it is impossible to please God" -30/"60"/"100" fold... -"I am crucified with Christ..." -"Sabbath Rest" These are just a few examples...We are free to live as we wish, but we rob ourselves of the power of the cross...Gal 6 Furthermore, Passover, Baptism, and again, The Lord's Supper, The Cross, and Marriage, are all symbols of God's desire for us to be crucified... "I KNOW" this is foreign to most Christians, but I submit to you the fact this is foreign to most Christians "may explain the condition of the church". Christ is the Mystery Revealed (Do word search of "Mystery" and "Christ")...Christ was veiled to those in the Old Testament as far as Scripture goes, but has "forever been alive" and has been flowing since the foundation of the world (Heb 9:26/Do word search of "foundation"). Jesus is the Alpha and Omega, The Great I Am, and was slain b4 the foundation of the world. For those who doubt Christ has been flowing since the foundation, please read Heb 11:26 and also notice that the phrase "By faith" is used over and over in Heb 11 referring to the Old Testament Faithful, and again Christ is Faith personified. He is the substance of things hoped for...Image of Holy Vine and Body/The Church free of all disease and sin...amen and amen I know the language I use in many of my Notes are not found in Scripture verbatim, however they are simply the Lord illuminating Scripture (It isn't adding or subtracting/please don't cry "heretic" too fast...) through more descriptive means so that I and others can have a better understanding of what is being communicated. And before you, and not saying you will do this, and others "cry heresy", let me remind you and others( and furthermore the Lord had to reveal this to me) that Apostate Christians have completely tried to "reinvent the spiritual wheel with their false gospel(s)...they add and subtract from the foundation of the Word and all built upon it and they call this "using their creative god given talents to reach the lost, but they worship HIM in flesh and in error"... the fact is they are perverting the truth and are proud and boasters of it in their attempt to harvest the tares of which they are the leaders of... My point being, again I recognize lots of the words and phrases I use arent found in Scripture, but again if you search all the 1000's and 1000's of Apostate Books you will find there is absolutely "no resemblance" to what is in Scripture and they do this unashamedly in the name of Jesus professing to be wise, but they are fools... Crucified in HIM, Luis |

Greetings Mark...Below are Scriptures that show indeed we are to "sell all", but again, not necessarily "all our possessions". Selling All is of the same origin and purpose as when Jesus said in John 6, "If you dont eat my flesh, and drink my blood, you aren't worthy of me..." ***He that hath ears, let Him hear... Greetings Doc, I appreciate your response, however again, "you seem to be missing the foundational point"...Paul, Barnabas, and all other Faithful Christians that "we Idolize" today, had sold all and were aliens. Is this not clear? I don't mean this disrespectfully, but the Faithful's position of being in, but "not of" the world/their culture is paramount to a proper understanding. Everything you or I do rest on either the Foundation of Christ/True Repentance...or on Man/might and power and human princples/sinking sand... ...need I remind you "The Flesh counts 4 nothing, and if Christ indeed is the power in "your sails", you will not sail using human principles in the name of Jesus??? (Read Col 2 and all of Galatains) This issue of "Selling All" isn't some secondary or outdated issue.(The temptation is to dismiss this "truth that Jesus taught and reason, "well we are doing good things, so "selling all isn't necessary" (Well question is, "Is the church really doing good things???" Woe to them that call good evil and evil good!!!) This is "The Foundational Issue". If you look in the Gospels you will see repeatedly that the Cost of Discipleship was/is "Selling All". You can't even be discipled until you sell all. Therefore if there are souls that are living out the 5 Offices and haven't sold all, well "I think the implications", are obvious? I am more than willing to share truth, but it would be nice to have "someone receive it"( I am not whining, to the contrary I have sorrow upon sorrow...), however Jesus had the same problem. He often remarked on how little to no faith there was as He traveled from town to town, etc... Of course, today we are under the "delusion" there is such a "bountiful harvest", but only problem is the Harvest is of the Tares, not the Wheat... Many are called, but "few" our chosen. They will praise HIM with thier lips, but their heart will be far from HIM...They think they will be heard for their many words, and they give out of their abundance. Does any of this sound familiar??? I hope in your case it isn't, however in my neck of the woods there is a church on every corner, but the smell of death permeates my nostrils. Of course, this shouldnt be surprising since Scripture says Jesus will return as in the Days of Noah. If you recall their were only 8 saved in the Days of Noah. Now of course, there is a exponentially greater world population now, however, "you do the math". Anyway, thanks for your respectful email, and I look forward to hearing from you again... "Sell All" Scriptures: Matt 13:44 "The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in the field, which a man found and hid again; and from joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field. 2 Matt 19:21 Jesus said to him, "If you wish to be complete, go and sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me." 4 Mark 10:21 Looking at him, Jesus felt a love for him and said to him, "One thing you lack: go and sell all you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me." Acts 2:45 and they began selling their property and possessions and were sharing them with all, as anyone might have need. I have shared truth, whether you receive it or not, is between you and God. If you have any "sincere" questions about "selling all", I will be happy to answer them and share scripture, but I will not debate "this obvious truth" any more...( I say this with soberness, not anger.)

Greetings Doc, thanks again for your Inquiry. However, I am beat...LOL...I will try to respond to your correspondence, and the two others (and counting...LOL) waiting in my New Mail in the next two days. Although, I think if you reread all my correspondences you will find your answer. However, you did introduce a "New Scripture" and I will address it in the next day or two. Thanks again... Crucified in HIM, Luis I would really like to answer yours now, but "it seemingly will never stop...". Again, as the Lord leads in the next couple of days, I will... |

Greetings Mark, thanks for your correspondence and the "sincerity in which it was written". All your questions have been answered in previous correspondences. I would reiterate them, but you touched on "a broad spectrum" of what Christ is proclaiming and living through me, and again I am confident if you read over all I have submitted through this Website since Sunday Morning, all your questions will be answered. I will resubmit my "Sell All" Correspondence immediately following this one. I think that will answer many of your questions and should be convincing Scripturally for those who have eyes to see and ears to hear. I do need to say this though, I have "repeatedly said "Selling All" isn't necessarily about "selling all your possessions". God desires obedience over sacrifice. There are many misguided souls, cults, etc...that sell all their possessions and even some in the name of Jesus, more times than not, if not all, "their sacrifices" are in vain. One of the most misunderstood truths in God's Word, and there are many, is that when God says He desires obedience over sacrifice that it is a reference to obeying the law(It is in truth, however the key is it is Christ obeying the Law, not us 4 HIM). It isn't! It is speaking of "obeying the Holy Spirit" who will lead us to our cross, as He did Jesus, to be crucified...thus "take up your cross and follow HIM". When Jesus, who fulfilled the Law, and is the Word of God lives through our crucified souls, He will obey the Law and live the Word through our crucified souls(and when we sin/fail grace is there and all are sins are forgiven...amen and amen). This is why in Matt 11:28-31 the Word says, "His burden is light and His yoke is easy"...I don't know about you, but me trying to obey the law hasnt been and isn't light or easy, but it makes perfect sense that "If He is doing it, It is light and easy!!!" amen and amen... God could care less about you selling all your possessions for the sake of proving anything to HIM or others. However, when Christ lives literally through a Crucified Soul, He will live the Life of Repentance He lived while on earth, through us. Therefore, as I have said in a a few previous correspondences, Jesus meets you where you are at and "transitions you out of the mammon system"(not for Macro-Salvation/Eternal Life, but for Micro Salvation/daily walk) and again, the main thing is when He lives through us we will no longer submit to the princples of the world/mammon system, but rather be free in HIM living a life of power, love and a sound mind sowing and reaping in the Unseen/New Jerusalem(this is why Scipture says, "the just shall walk by faith, not by "sight"). This is a process (But He does it, not us 4 HIM). The fact is, as I have experienced as He has lived through me, the world does truly "grow strangely dim" and at this point you couldnt pay me to own a home, car, win the lottery, own other Idols... I have absolutely no desire for any of those things. Now, if the Lord leads me to marry, perhaps a "sufficient home and car" will be in order. However, this is a big "maybe" because I am content as I am, single... and at this point don't see me getting married. However, If I did, God would send me a crucified woman, and we would Married Life of Repentance. Fact is owning a Home, etc...isn't in of itself evil. The First Century Church met in Homes, but please read Acts 1 and 2, and listen to the Holy Spirit, and don't rationalize!!! Much more could be said, but I hope this is sufficient for now. Again, please read all my Correspondences over past 4 days. There is one Correspondences with 4 "Sell All" Scriptures that will prove that is what Jesus desires of us, but again it isnt necessarily about "selling all our possessions", alhtough the Disciples did. It is more about not having ownership and or getting one's Identity or worth from the things of the world.(Acts 1 and 2) And only He can "truly" do that where it is pleasing to HIM(Faith/not might and power). I Must run, thanks for your email. I hope this clarified things. Be careful of "setting up straw men" to justify your Idolatry". This is bold, but truth in love. I will resend "The Sell All" Cor. shortly... Crucified in HIM, Luis |

Greetings Hank, you are "My Most Frequent Corresponder", and I appreciate it. I am a little surprised that it "isn't obvious" I am an "Open Book". I will gladly answer all your questions, Lord and time permitting...My little fingers are typing as fast at they can, believe me...LOL...However my time on here will probably be short lived, at least not in the amount of time, I have been on here in past four days. As my profile says The Lord is sending me out to proclaim and live truth...and plant Home Churches...amen and amen. Anyone interested, please let me know??? "Sincere inquiries", only though, thank you... "The Faithful" in short, are the "few" (from little to great...infant to adult) that have sold all and aren't guilty of Rom 10:3 and 2Tim 3:5 and 2Tim 4. I don't affiliate myself with any "demon-nation", although for thirteen years I did. I was "quote unquote" saved at a Mega-Baptist Church in Woodstock, Ga, and have been a member of Pentecostal to Non-Denom Churches over the past thirteen years. I have lived in Georgaia, Florida, and Kentucky. Most recently I was, and actually still am a member of the Third Largest Church in the US. Perhaps, you have heard of it, Southeast Christian? Pastor is Bob Russell? Good to hear from you again... Crucified in HIM, Luis |

Greetings, I appreciate your correspondence and concern. I just sent a correspondence defining Mammon System and Crucified Souls. With respect to your question about a "church budget", God's ways arent our ways..."The Currency of Heaven/New Jerusalem/the Unseen is Faith!!! God can, and will run a world wide ministry through me and other crucified souls for years on the "week's budget of most-mega churches"!!! I lack nothing in HIM, and I have sought the Kingdom of God "first" and His Righteousness (Himself/Christ flowing/sold all)and all "these things"(Provisions(food/clothing, etc...) while Ambassador/Soldier on way to Far Away Country/New Jerusalem) are timely added unto me...amen and amen. Please read Heb 11 and see how "the True Faithful lived"...amen and amen.../Welcome to True Christianity!!! With respect to where I fellowship, please read my profile. If you are "sincerely interested" in a "Network of Home Churches"/Body of Christ founded on Truth/Selling All/Foundation of Christ, please let me know... Again, good to hear from you... Crucified in HIM, Luis |

Greetings Doc, I "will try" to make this a short correspondence. I appreciate your response, however it quite apparent their continues to be a misunderstanding, and "I am realizing more and more attempting to make things clearer" isn't bearing fruit. "Mammon System" and "Crucified Souls" Defined: Scripture says we can't serve God and Mammon. Now, it is true it doesn't say "system", however it most certainly is implied and understood by those who have ears to ears and eyes to see. (Not saying whether you do or not). Many Chrisitans today see "mammon" as just money( or what they define as the "love of money", and although money is a part of the mammon system, it is just "one part". It is the "oil" that keeps the "system" running, but the mammon system also involves quite frankly every way of man. The mammon system is predicated on hard work, accomplishment, performance, pride, competition, narcissism, "even attempts at morality"!!! etc...I could list 100's, if not 1000's of characteristics. It is simply again "all the ways of man/the flesh". I could say much more, but I believe that will satisfy your inquiry. Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit, thus saith the Lord (Zech 4:6)***This makes it "obvious" nothing new under the sun..."the beat goes on..." Now with respect to "crucified souls". Of course, the word "crucified, isn't foreign", I would hope?? and not sure why "souls" causes such hysteria, but simply "we are souls", right?" Scripture does speak about crucifying the flesh, right?" "We are flesh, right?" I could continue, but I think you have the picture. The phrase "crucified souls" is simply a phrase the Holy Spirit gave me to Illuminate and make more personal His desire for all of us. It is simply the use of two words, instead of one, to describe a very foundational truth of Scripture.(Jesus was slain b4 the foundation of the world)(Heb 9:26)Jesus said if you want to be my disciple you will walk as I walked...Be Crucified!!! Did Jesus not live His Life as He died? Crucified??? Handle not, Taste not, Touch not!!!...also read Luke 4/Temptation by Devil) Mammon System and Crucified Souls in no way are adding or subtracting from Scripture. **Not being crucified is "subtracting" and "human morality is adding"...??? The Holy Spirit revealed this to me and I will present it to you this way. Through out Scripture, God purposely had the physical reflect the spiritual, right? Examples: The Garden, Noah's Ark, Tower of Babel, Israelites in Bondage/Egypt, Passover, Their Deliverance through the Red Sea, The Wilderness, The River Jordan, The Promise Land, Captivity in Babylon...I could go on and on...and also in the New Testament we have: Baptism, Lord's Supper, Pentecost, Deaf-hear, Blind-see, Dead-risen, etc...I could go on and on... Now, I think through your studies you have a pretty good idea what those Physical and Historical Events and Things represent? Now, here is the question, as Christians we are soooooooooo eager to see the symbolism in those things and create traditions to remember them by and to honor them, etc...Isn't it interesting that Jesus being Crucified, "according to all the Christians that acknowedge and embrace the symbolism of the other things I listed", yet when Paul or I suggest that Jesus being Crucified is also a Symbolic (Historical/Redemptive, of course) and a foundational part of True Christianity that "many cry foul/heresy!!!" I could go on to further explain this, but again I think this is more than sufficient, the "implications and proof" is obvious. He that hath an ear, let Him hear" (Matt 11:15) I will make one conclusion for you to "chew on". Could it be as humans (we are Idolaters by nature) that we want all "what we think our the benefits of God", without the "Cost"? Christians readily say, "I want to be like Jesus/Christ"...hmmmm, Jesus was Crucified...enough said... Crucified in HIM, Luis |

Greetings Hank, always good to hear from you. I appreciate your boldness and desire to protect others, however I have made "no personal attacks". Yes, my correspondences "have many implications", but my hope is that "none of the negative implications fall on any of the readers", however "if the shoe fits, then it fits." Please understand, none of my writings are mean spirited. The internet can be a great tool, but the format has its limitations with respect to being able to see body language and facial gestures. I assure you I am not "pontificating or judging anyone", however truth is an offense to us all. Thanks again, for your correspondence... Crucified in HIM, Luis |

Greetings Doc, I appreciate your response, however again, "you seem to be missing the foundational point"...Paul, Barnabas, and all other Faithful Christians that "we Idolize" today, had sold all and were aliens. Is this not clear? I don't mean this disrespectfully, but the Faithful's position of being in, but "not of" the world/their culture is paramount to a proper understanding. Everything you or I do rest on either the Foundation of Christ/True Repentance...or on Man/might and power and human princples/sinking sand... ...need I remind you "The Flesh counts 4 nothing, and if Christ indeed is the power in "your sails", you will not sail using human principles in the name of Jesus??? (Read Col 2 and all of Galatains) This issue of "Selling All" isn't some secondary or outdated issue.(The temptation is to dismiss this "truth that Jesus taught and reason, "well we are doing good things, so "selling all isn't necessary" (Well question is, "Is the church really doing good things???" Woe to them that call good evil and evil good!!!) This is "The Foundational Issue". If you look in the Gospels you will see repeatedly that the Cost of Discipleship was/is "Selling All". You can't even be discipled until you sell all. Therefore if there are souls that are living out the 5 Offices and haven't sold all, well "I think the implications", are obvious? I am more than willing to share truth, but it would be nice to have "someone receive it"( I am not whining, to the contrary I have sorrow upon sorrow...), however Jesus had the same problem. He often remarked on how little to no faith there was as He traveled from town to town, etc... Of course, today we are under the "delusion" there is such a "bountiful harvest", but only problem is the Harvest is of the Tares, not the Wheat... Many are called, but "few" our chosen. They will praise HIM with thier lips, but their heart will be far from HIM...They think they will be heard for their many words, and they give out of their abundance. Does any of this sound familiar??? I hope in your case it isn't, however in my neck of the woods there is a church on every corner, but the smell of death permeates my nostrils. Of course, this shouldnt be surprising since Scripture says Jesus will return as in the Days of Noah. If you recall their were only 8 saved in the Days of Noah. Now of course, there is a exponentially greater world population now, however, "you do the math". Anyway, thanks for your respectful email, and I look forward to hearing from you again... "Sell All" Scriptures: Matt 13:44 "The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in the field, which a man found and hid again; and from joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field. 2 Matt 19:21 Jesus said to him, "If you wish to be complete, go and sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me." 4 Mark 10:21 Looking at him, Jesus felt a love for him and said to him, "One thing you lack: go and sell all you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me." Acts 2:45 and they began selling their property and possessions and were sharing them with all, as anyone might have need. I have shared truth, whether you receive it or not, is between you and God. If you have any "sincere" questions about "selling all", I will be happy to answer them and share scripture, but I will not debate "this obvious truth" any more...( I say this with soberness, not anger.)

Greetings Tim, good to hear from you. You make all "valid points", but only one problem, Paul and all other True Christians in Scripture sold all and "Not One" was a part of the culture in which they lived. I don't say this in quarrlesome manner, however I politely challenge you to search the Scriptures and I am 100 Percent Confident you will not find one True Christian again that was part of his/her culture. Now, it is true that Paul and other New Testament writers wrote their Letters to babes and the double minded, but I am sure you would agree they weren't commended by their unwillingness to sell all. Furthermore, there lives were unstable and unproductive in the Kingdom. I am confident you and all that read this "Don't want to be unstable and unproductive, Do you???" My question to everyone is, "When did it change?" When did it change that True Disciples of Jesus had to sell all and live as aliens, and be regarded as scum? Scripture is clear if you proclaim and live truth, "You will be hated and persecuted"(2Tim 3:12). (Mocked and laughed at...) and the Faithful rejoice in all of it...amen and amen... Could say much more, but this is sufficient for now... Again, could to hear from you, and I hope the truth spoken here will lead you too, to sell all. Jesus is the same y-day, today, and forever, right??? By the way, "Selling All" isn't "necessarily" selling all one's possesssions, although it can be and usually will eventually lead to that. However, Jesus meets a soul where he or she is at, and transitions him/her out of the mammon system into the freedom and power (2Tim 1:7) found only in HIM. Selling all, simply put, is letting Christ live through us as efficiently as possible and this requires the greatest degree of crucifying of the flesh. Our Idolatrous ways must be crucified or we are useless in the Kingdom of God. I assure you, this is possible, and thankfully after over twenty something years of "double mindedness" I finally decided to cooperate with Jesus's Command to me, "to sell all"...amen and amen...To HIM be the Glory!!! One last note, God hasn't changed and man hasn't changed...be careful not to rationalize and/or justify yourself as did the Rich Young Ruler when He was told to "sell all". Jesus is the Word of God and His Message hasn't changed and again we havent changed. God is willing, but the flesh is weak (we resist). We try everything but, His way and of course we suffer the consequences. I am sure you would agree that the condition of the church validates this truth. Please read Luke 18 about the Rich Young Ruler and again, the message hasn't changed, and nor has our Idolatry. "We all know" what God's desire is and He is willing... and if we cooperate, you will sell all(again not necessarily physical possessions) and this truth will set you free...amen and amen...***The Rich Young Ruler's unwillingness to sell all simply exposed Him for not being born again...had He been born again, Jesus would have said the same thing, but would have met Him where He was at and transtioned Him out...amen and amen... Selling all is simply no longer desiring to live by might and power (the flesh/human effort and principles), but desiring to let Christ flow through you in complete trust. God is a good God...His burden is light and His yoke is easy...His commandements aren't grevious, but this is "obviously" only the case when the resurrection power of Christ flows through our crucified souls...amen and amen...

Greetings Hank, It may "appear to be a "dichotomy", but I assure you it isn't. I expected God's Truth to be mocked (and I am not here to debate or quarrel...simply sharing boldly truth in love)...now, obviously a True Christian that has sold all, (Matt 6:33) due to the fact we do live in this world, may need some financial support for "daily provisions"(Paul was an example, but please note He wasn't a part of culture He came from or lived in...He had sold all), however most "Christian Churches, Ministries, and Missionaries, haven't sold all... and they seek funds to pay for their Buildings, and what they call "blessed lifestyles" by the grace of God. This Hypocrisy is the origin of my "adamacy". It is true, with respect to this issue, I would need to write considerably longer than I am allowed on here. But bottom line is "Professing Christians" supporting "other Professing Christains" in their rebellion (Wicked Servant Ministries) is not of faith and is an abomination to the Lord they claim to serve. Also, with respect to "spreading the Gospel around the world", the Holy Spirit is already doing that...He needs no help from us (and yes, I know about Romans 10:14, but please read Romans 10:18 before you disagree...He that hath ears to hear, let him hear...) I Could and probably need to say much more on this subject, but probably best for "You and I/and anyone else that may differ on this topic to agree to disagree. Please understand I do respect and appreciate your views... Oh, and by the way, those who have obeyed the Lord's Command to sell all, "don't have utility bills". (at least not for a church building and so in that regard no "staff salaries" either...) Good to hear from you again... Crucified in HIM, Luis |
