FIGHT!
"Put on the whole armour of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil" (Ephesians 6:11)

Our enemy is not Muslims. It's the devil. He comes only to steal, kill and destroy. But Christ is come that we might have life and life more abundantly (Jn.10.10)

Christ says that we might have life more abundantly (Jn.10.10b). It is dependent on our obedience to his commandment to - "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature" (Mk.16.15). For by this the world is saved from its wickedness and our country is exalted (1Jn.1.3&5.19 and Pr.14.34).

If we don't keep his commandment sin prevails over righteousness and destroys our country. Sadly, the gospel is not being preached since before the death of Rev. Billy Graham in 2018. (His last crusade was in 2005.). He preached the gospel to millions of people in our country and abroad over fifty years! This is what kept our nation great.

But it wasn't Rev. Graham's elegant sermons or altar calls that saved people (1Cor.2.1). The simple gospel message in his sermons saved every one that believed before they went to the altar (Jn.1.12, Acts 16.31 & 1Cor.4.15b). We too can preach the simple gospel message (2Cor.11.3). Hereby our country will be made great again as it was when Reverend Graham was preaching it. It's how we stand against the wiles of the devil (subtitle).

The problem is that Rev. Graham's converts were sent to so-called churches where they became, "hearers only, deceiving their own selves." Instead of being taught to preach the gospel they merely attend church. But Christ does not say to worship him in a building. Religion has instituted this for profit *(See PLAN OF SALVATION 3.). He says - "If you love me keep my commandments" (Jn.14.15&21). And his great commandment is for us to preach the gospel to every one in the world (Mk.16.15 above). It's how we fight!

But how can we preach the gospel when we don't know what it is? We go into combat barefooted and suffer defeat because we don't shod our feet with the gospel of peace (Eph.6.15). It's an essential piece of the whole armour of God. I attended many different Christian denominations over 30 years searching for the right church and none of them taught me what the gospel is. Evangelicals have displaced it with their 'Plan of Salvation' and Cathoilcs6 with their 'Gospel of Good Works' and Eucharest (communion).

Because the gospel is not being preached the world lies in wickedness. Sin is prevailing over righteousness and destroying our country (Jn.10.10a). Having life more abundantly is dependent upon the gospel being preached. But we are missing an essential piece of the armour of God (Eph.6.15) and go into combat barefooted *(See DEFEETED). Thankfully the Apostle Paul clearly defines the gospel in his first letter to the church in Corinth (1Cor.15.1-4). To preach it we simply have to declare to people as we go (Eph.6.15) how that - "Christ died for our sins; He was buried, and he rose the third day (1Cor.15.3-4 abbr.).

This is the 'gospel according to the scriptures', the same gospel Paul received and preached (1Cor.15.3-4). And it saves every one that believes (Rom.1.16 & 1Cor.4.15b). But we must speak it to them in person with our mouth (preach it, 1Cor.1.21), as he (Col.4.3-4 & Eph.6.19-20) and Christ's other disciples did7-21, Rom.10.14-15, 1Cor.15.11, 1Thes.1.8 and 1Jn.1.3). We must also teach at least one person we beget through the gospel to preach it (Mt.18.20, 28.20 & 1Cor.4.15b). Together these two commandments of Christ make up the 'Great Commission'. And when his commandment (Mk.16.15 above) is fulfilled he will return. And we will meet him in the clouds to be with him forever, the blessed hope (Mt.24.14 & 30-31, 1Cor.15.51).

It's not about defeating the Muslims. Its about defeating the devil and his children (Jn.8.44 & 10.10). By preaching the gospel righteousness prevails over sin and exalts our nation (Pr.14.34). Let's fight!

THE BATTLE
"(The weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)" 2Corinthians 10:4.

"Wherefore put on the whole armour of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil" (Ephesians 6:11&13).

We prevent Islam from taking over our country by putting on the whole armour of God. This must include shodding our feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace (Eph.6.15). If we don't preach the gospel we go into battle barefooted and suffer defeet (pun intended). But how can we preach it if we don't know what it is? Today's so-called churches don't teach us what the gospel is.

I attended practically every mainline Christian denomination over thirty years searching for the right church and none of them taught me what the gospel is. They have replaced it with their own doctrines, thereby confining us to their buildings. Evangelicals have displaced the gospel with their 'Plan of Salvation' whereby we must lead a person to say a prayer to be saved. And Catholics with their 'Gospel of Good Works' and Eucharest (communion). Both of these false gospels take a building and a pulpit to preach.

So we go to the building. But we don't keep Christ's commandment to - "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature" (Mk.16.). We are hearers only, deceiving our own selves" (Jas.1.22b). We have a c***k in our armour and suffer defeat (Eph.6.15). Christ does not say to worship him in a building. Religion has instituted this for profit. If they teach us to preach the gospel the world becomes our church and pulpit, as Christ commands (Mk.16.15 above). And we no longer have to attend their building every week. Then who will pay their salaries and for their fancy buildings and Seminaries, which hinder the furtherance of the gospel?

The Apostle Paul clearly defines the gospel in his first letter to the church in Corinth (See 1Cor.15.1-4). And he forbade the preaching of any other gospel, as today's so-called churches are doing (above.). To preach it we simply have to declare to people as we go (Mk.16.15 & Eph.6.15) how that - "Christ died for our sins; He was buried, and he rose the third day" (1Cor.15.3-4 abbr.). This is the 'gospel according to the scriptures', the same gospel Paul received and preached (1Cor.15.3-4). And it saves every one that believes (Rom.1.16 & 1Cor.4.15b). But we must speak it to them in person with our mouth (preach it, 1Cor.1.21), as he (Col.4.3-4 & Eph.6.19-20) and Christ's other disciples did (Mk.16.15 Mk.16.20, Acts 8.4, 10.38-44 & 11.19-21, Rom.10.14-15, 1Cor.15.11, 1Thes.1.8 and 1Jn.1.3). The gospel also saves those who believe when we preach it to them in person over the phone (1Cor.1.21b & 4.15b).

The weapons of our warfare are not carnal. They are mighty, through God, to the pulling down of strongholds (subtitle). We prevent Islam from taking over by putting on the whole armour of God (Eph.6.10-18).

This must include keeping Christ's commandment to preach the gospel (Mk.16.15 & Eph.6.15). For by it the world is saved from its wickedness (Rom.1.16, 1Cor.4.15b and 1Jn.1.3 & 5.19). Let's not go into battle barefooted!

KEEP YOURSELF FROM IDOLS
"Little children, keep yourselves from idols" (1John 5.21).

"Thou shalt not bow down yourself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me" (Exodus 20.5);

"No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon" (Mt.6.24).

An idol is anything that takes
the place of God in our life. The most common idol in the world is mammon (money & things) (Mt.6.24). Practically everyone bows down to it and serves it (subtitle). We go to church once or twice a week for an hour or two and serve money 40 hours a week."

Christ says - "Whosoever he be of you that forsakes not all that he has, he cannot be my disciple" (Lk.14.33). He promises wages to those who reap in his harvest (Mt.6.33, Jn 4.36 & Phil.4.19). Preaching the gospel is worthy of wages (Jn.4.36 & 1Cor.9.14). But we can also work with our hands (1Thes.4.11). Paul was a tentmaker (Acts 18.3).

I quit my job in 2002 to preach the gospel full time and in three months my income quintipled. God is no respector of persons (Rom.12.11, Eph.6.9 & Col.3.25). Are you willing to do the same? Or is mammon your god? Remember the story of the rich young ruler (Mt.19.16-22)? Christ told him to sell all that he has, take up his cross and follow him. He went away sad because he had great riches (Mt.19.22).

He was not willing to forsake all and follow him (Lk.14.33 above). Christ then said - "How hardly shall they that have riches enter the kingdom of heaven!" (Mt.19.23)." It boils down to choice. Will we serve God or mammon. Christ's commands us to - "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature (Mk.16.15)." But if we don't know what the gospel is there is no choice. How can we keep Christ's commandment to preach itl?

Today's so-called churches don't teach us what the gospel is. They have displaced it with their own doctrines, thereby confining us to their building(s). But Christ does not say to worship him in a building. Religion has instituted this for profit. If we know what the gospel is we no longer have to attend their building(s) every week. The world becomes our church and pulpit, as Christ commands (Mk.16.15 above). Then who will pay their salaries and for their fancy buildings and Seminaries which are hindering the furtherance of the gospel?

The Apostle Paul clearly defines the gospel in his first letter to the church in Corinth (See 1Cor.15.1-4.). And he forbade the preaching of any other gospel (Gal.1.8-9). But Evangelicals have displaced it with their 'Plan of Salvation' and Catholics with their 'Gospel of Good Works' and Eucharest (communion). To preach the same gospel Paul defines we simply have to declare to people as we go (Mk.16.15 & Eph.6.15) how that - "Christ died for our sins; He was buried, and he rose the third day (1Cor.15.3-4 abbr.)."

This is the 'gospel according to the scriptures', the same gospel Paul received and preached (1Cor.15.3-4). And it saves every one that believes (Rom.1.16) when we speak it to them in person with our mouth (preach it, 1Cor.1.21b & 4.15b), as he (Col.4.3-4 & Eph.6.19-20) and Christ's other disciples did (Mk.16.20, Acts 8.4 & 11.19-21, Rom.10.14-15, 1Cor.15.11, 1Thes.1.8 and 1Jn.1.3). The gospel also saves people when we preach it to them over the phone.

Now that we know what the gospel is will we continue to serve mammon? Or will we choose to keep Christ command to preach it (Mk.16.15 above)? Its okay to work with our hands but it doesn't have to be an idol.

The biggest idol in the world is mammon (money and things). But we don't have to bow down to it. Christ promises wages to those who reap in his harvest (Jn.4.36, Mt.6.33).

IT'S THIS SIMPLE
"I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ" (2 Corinthians 11:3).

"Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature" (Mark 16.15).

All we have to do to save the world from its wickedness is preach the gospel (1Cor.4.15b and 1Jn.1.3&5.19). But we can't preach it if we don't know what it is.

I attended many different Christian denominations over 30 years seeking the right church and none of them taught me what the gospel is! I went to the building. But I couldn't keep Christ's commandment to preach the gospel (subtitle b) because I didn't know what it was. So I was a "hearer only, deceiving my own self" (Jas.1.22b).

But I found it one day while reading my bible. The Apostle Paul clearly defines the gospel in his first letter to the Church in Corinth (See 1Cor.15.1-4.). And when I began preaching it I became a "doer of the word" (Jas.1.22a) instead of a hearer only. I started begetting new creatures, just as Paul did (Rom.1.16 & 1Cor.4.15b). This, not attending church, is what really matters (Gal.6.15-16).

We are all born in sin (Ps.51.5 & Rom.3.23) due to Adam and Eve's original sin (Gen.3) So we must be born again of the Spirit (Jn.3.5-6). "For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth" (Eph.5.9). "... love, joy, peace... against such there is no law" (Gal.5.22-23 abbr.). Therefore, it is the duty of every believer to keep Christ's commandment to preach the gospel (subtitle b). This is how the world is saved from its wickedness (1Jn.1.3&5.19). And when his commandment to preach the gospel to every one in the world (subtitle b) is fulfilled he will return. And we will meet him in the clouds to be with him forever, the blessed hope (Mt.24.14 & 30-31, 1Cor.15.51-53, 1Thes.4.13-18 and Tit.2.13).

It is so simple to preach the gospel even a child can do it. But today's so-called churches have made it too difficult by replacing it with their own doctrines. Evangelicals have displaced it with their 'Plan of Salvation' and Catholics with their 'Gospel of Good Works' and Eucharest (communion). These false gospels take a pulpit to preach. So we merely attend church. But Christ does not say to worship him in a building. Religion has instituted this. He says - "If you love me keep my commandments" (Jn.14.15&21). And his great commandment is for us to preach the gospel to every one in the world (subtitle b). We fulfill it by teaching at least one person we beget through the gospel to preach it (Mt.18.20, 28.20 and 1Cor.4.15b). These two commandments of Christ make up 'The Great Commission'.

To preach the gospel we simply have to declare to people as we go (Mk.16.15 & Eph.16.15) how that - "Christ died for our sins, He was buried, and he rose the third day" (1Cor.15.3-4 abbr.). This 'gospel according to the scriptures' is the same gospel Paul received and preached (v.3-4). And it saves every one that believes (Rom.1.16 & 1Cor.4.15b). But we must speak it to them in person with our mouth (preach it, 1Cor.1.21b) as Paul (Col.4.3-4 & Eph.6.19-20) and Christ's other disciples did (Mk.16.20, Acts 8.4, 10.39-44 & 11.19-21, Rom.10.14-15, 1Cor.15.11, 1Thes.1.8 and 1Jn.1.3). The gospel also saves people when we preach it to them over the phone (1Cor.1.21b & 4.15b).

Now we know what the gospel is. So we can keep Christ's commandments to preach it and teach others to preach it, 'The Great Commission'. By keeping it the world is saved from its wickedness (1Jn.1.3&5.19). It's this simple.

And when Christ's commandment to preach the gospel to every one in the world (subtitle b) is fulfilled he will return. And we will meet him in the clouds to be with him forever, the blessed hope (scripture references above).

DEFEATING ISLAM
"Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven" (Matthew 6.10).

"Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature" (Mark 16.15)

The middle east used to be Christian. But Islam has taken it over through r**e, murder and terror. Their ideology is world dominance. If we don't stop them they will soon destroy our country, as they are doing to Europe and the United Kingdom.

We defeat the evil takeover of Islam by preaching the gospel (subtitles) and teaching at least one person we beget through the gospel to preach it (Mt.18.20, 28.20 & 1Cor.4.15b). It's called 'The Great Commission'. By keeping it the world is saved from its wickedness (1Jn.1.3&5.19).

And when Christ's commandment to preach the gospel to every person in the world (subtitle b) is fulfilled he will return. And we will meet him him in the clouds to be with him forever, the blessed hope (Mt.24.14 & 30-31, 1Cor.15.51-53, 1Thes.4.13-18 and Tit.2.13). We simply have to out-multiply them. This is easy to do once we know what the gospel is and are willing to preach it.

I attended many different Christian denominations over thirty years and was never taught what the gospel is! We can't preach it if we don't know what it is. So we merely attend church. The gospel is not being preached since the death of Reverend Billy Graham in 2018. His last crusade was in 2005. He preached the gospel to milllions of people in our country and abroad over fifty years. This iz what made our country great (Pr.14.34). But it wasn't his elegant sermons and altar calls that saved people (1Cor.2.1). The simple gospel message in his sermons saved every one that believed before they went to the altar.

The problem is that his converts were sent to so-called churches that have replaced the gospel with their own doctrines. Evangelicals have displaced it with their 'Plan of Salvation' and Catholics with their 'Good Works' and Eucharest (communion). So instead of being taught to preach the gospel they merely attend church. They are hearers only, deceiving their own selves (Jas.1.22b). The Apostle Paul clearly defines the gospel in his first letter to the Church in Corinth (See 1Cor.15.1-4.). And he forbade the preaching of any other gospel (Gal.1.8-9). To preach it we simply have to declare to people as we go (Mk.16.15 & Eph.6.15) how that - "Christ died for our sins; He was buried, and he rose the third day" (1Cor.15.3-4 abbr.).

This is the same gospel Paul received and preached, the gospel according to the scriptures (1Cor.15.3- 4). And it saves every one that believes (Jn.1.12b, Acts16.31) when we speak it to them in person with our mouth (preach it, 1Cor.1.21b & 4.15b). This is how Paul (Eph.6.19-20 & Col.4.3-4) and Christ's first disciples preached it (Mk.16.20, Acts 8.4, 10.39-44 & 11.19-21, Rom.10.14-15, 1Cor.15.11, 1Thes.1.8 and 1Jn.1.3). The gospel also saves people when we preach it to them over the phone (1Cor.1.21b & 4.15b). We need to preach the gospel to keep our beloved country great (Pr.14.34). It will prevent the takeover of our country by Islam as they are presently doing in other countries and have done to many countries in the past.

Now that we know what the gospel is we can defeat Islam and their evil ideology. We simply have to keep Christ's commandment to preach it (subtitle). And by teaching at least one person we beget through the gospel to preach it (Mt.18.20, 28.20 & 1Cor.4.15b) his commandment (subtitle b) is fulfilled. *See MAJORITY RULES.

Hereby our country and the world are saved from wickedness (1Jn.1.3 & 5.19). And when the gospel is preached to every one in the world (subtitle b) he will return. And we will meet him in the clouds to be with him forever, the blessed hope (See scripture references above.).

IT'S A SPIRITUAL MATTER
"You must be born again" (John 3.3&7)

According to God's word we are all born in sin (Ps.51.5 & Rom.3.23). We inherited it from Adam and Eve's original sin in the Garden of Eden (Gen.3). Therefore, as Christ told Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews (Jn.3.1) - We must be born again of the Spirit (Jn.3.5-6). "For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth" (Eph.5.9). "... love, joy, peace... against such there is no law" (Gal.5.22-23 abbr.)

People are born again of the Spirit by believing on Christ's name (Jn.1.12, Acts 16.318) after the gospel is preached to them (1Cor.4.15b). It's a Spritual matter. But sadly, the gospel is not being preached since the death of Reverend Billy Graham in 2018. His last crusade was in 2005. He preached the gospel to millions of people in crusades in our country and around the world for fifty years. This caused righteousness to prevail over sin and exalt our nation (Pr.14.34 ). It's what made our nation great.

But it wasn't Mr. Graham's elegant preaching or altar calls that saved people. The simple gospel message in his sermons saved every one that believed before they went to the altar (1Cor.2.1 & 4.15b). The problem is that his converts were sent to so-called churches where they became, "hearers only, deceiving their own selves" (Jas.1.22b). Instead of being taught to preach the gospel they merely attend church. And because the gospel is not being preached sin is destroying our nation (Jn.10.10a). We too can preach this simple gospel message (Mk.16.15). And by teaching at least one person we beget through the gospel to preach it (Mt.18.20, 28.20 & 1Cor.4.15b) greatness is restored to our country (Pr.14.34). It's called 'The Great Commission'.

The Apostle Paul clearly defines the gospel in his first letter to the Church in Corinth (See 1Cor.15.1-4.). To preach it we simply have to declare to people as we go (Mk.16.15 & Eph.6.15) how that - "Christ died for our sins; He was buried, and he rose the third day" (1Cor.15.3-4 abbr.). This is the same gospel Rev. Graham and Paul preached (1Cor.15.3), the gospel according to the scriptures (1Cor.15.3- 4). And it saves every one that believes (Jn.1.12b & Acts16.31) when we speak it to them in person with our mouth (preach it, 1Cor.1.21b & 4.15b). This is how they (Eph.6.19-20 & Col.4.3-4) and Christ's first disciples did (Mk.16.20, Acts 8.4, 10.39-44 & 11.19-21, Rom.10.14-15, 1Cor.15.11, 1Thes.1.8 and 1Jn.1.3). The gospel also saves when we preach it to people over the phone (1Cor.1.21b & 4.15b).

Now that we know what the gospel is we no longer have to be confined to a building. Instead we can keep Christ's commandment to "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature" (Mk.16.15).

And by teaching at least one person we beget through the gospel to preach it righteousness will prevail over sin and exalt our nation (Pr.14.34 & Eph.5.9). The USA will be great again. It's a Spiritual matter!

I recently returned from preaching the gospel in the USA again. My three month trip concluded with preaching the gospel to almost all 500 offices of the House and Senate in Washington D.C.. Please pray that God multiplies the gospel seeds that were planted, thereby saving our country.

IT'S A SPIRITUAL MATTER (revised)
"Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature." (Mark 16.15)

Recently Donald Trump was elected to be the 47th President of the United States of America. Was it because of the policies he advocated?

I told God that I would travel to the USA A
and preach the gospel if he would save our country from its wickedness. And I went, preaching the gospel to 50 or more people every day for close to two months. I believe God honored that.

I had to return because the weather was beginning to get cold and I didn't want to get sick, as I was living in a four-man tent in the Famcamp at Travis AFB. I flew military space available travel, although I regret taking a Grehound bus from Seattle Washington.

Is it Donald Trump and his presidency that is going to save our country or is it the preaching of the gospel. I strongly believe it is the latter. It's a Spiritual matter. The gospel has not been preached in our country since the death of Reverend Billy Graham in 2018. For fifty years he preached it to millions of people in crusades in our country and around the world. This is what made our country great.

But his converts were sent to so-called churches where they are to this day "hearers only, deceiving their own selves (Jas.19.1.22b)". Instead of keeping Christ's commandment to - "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature (Mk.16.15)." they merely attend church. I visote many Chrostian denominations over thirty years and was never taight what the gospel is. This is because today's churches have replaced the gospel with their own doctrines, thereby confining us to a building. And because the gospel is not being preached we see a great decline in morality and increase in crime which are destroying our nation.

It wasn't Reverend Graham's elegant sermons or altar calls that saved people. It was the simple gospel message contained in his sermons that when believed upon saved them (Acts 16.31 & 1Cor.4.15b). The good news is that we can take back our nation by preaching it and teaching at least one or two people we beget through the gospel to preach it (Mt.18.20, 28.20 & 1Cor.4.15b). It's called 'The Great Commission'. The Apostle Paul clearly defines the gospel in his first letter to the church in Corinth (1Cor.15.1-4). And he prohibited the preaching of any other gospel (Gal.1.8-9), as today's churches are doing by replacing it with their own doctrines (i.e. the Evangelical 'Plan of Salvation' and Catholic 'Gospel of Good Works').

To preach the same gospel Paul defines in his letter to the church in Corinth (1Cor.15.1-4) we simply have to declare to people as we go (Mk.16.15 & Eph.6.15) that - "Christ died for our sins; He was buried, and he rose the third day (1Cor.15.3-4 abbr.)." Sound familiar? It's the Easter message. But it is also the gospel according to the scriptures (v.3-4), the same gospel Paul received and preached (v.3). And it doesn't return void (Is.55.11). Rather, it saves every one that believes (Rom.1.16) when we speak it to them in person with our mouth (preach it, 1Cor.1.21b), as he (Col.4.3-4 & Eph.6.19-20) and Christ's other disciples did (Mk.16.15&20, Acts 1.8, Rom.10.14-15, 1Cor.15.11 and 1Jn.1.3). The gospel also saves people when we preach it to them over the phone (1Cor.1.21b & 4.15b).

It's a Spiritual matter. Now that we know what the gospel is we can take back our country by keeping Christ's commandment to preach it (Mk.16.15 above) and teaching at least one or two we beget through the gospel to preach it (Mt.18.20 & 28.20 and 1Cor.4.15b).

Otherwise we remain hearers only, deceiving our own selves (Jas.1.22). And our country is doomed to fail. (Jn.10.10)

A LITTLE LEAVEN
The altar call and Eucharest are a little leaven that has leavened the whole lump. I can't begin to count the times I've seen a perfectly good sermon ended by an altar call where nobody comes forward to be saved.

Christ commands us to - "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature" (Mk.16.15). Do the math. There are eight billion people we must preach the gospel too (every creature, Mk.16.15 above). It's insanity to think that they can all be saved at an altar call by a prayer or by attending church and observing the Eucharest

I visited many different Christian denominations over thirty years searching for the right one and none of them taught me what the gospel is! If they do the world becomes our church and pulpit, as Christ commands (Mk.16.15 above). We don't have to attend their so-called church every week. Then who will pay their salaries and for their fancy buildings and Seminaries (which hinder the furtherance of the gospel)?

Christ does not say to worship him in a building, as religion has instituted for profit. He says - "If you love me keep my commandments" (Jn.14.15 & 21). And his great commandment is for us to preach the gospel to every one in the world (Mk.16.15 above). We fulfill it by teaching at least one person we beget through the gospel to preach it (Mt.18.20, 28.20 & 1Cor.4.15b). These two commandments make up, 'The Great Commission'. They save the world from its wickedness (1Jn.1.3 & 5.19).

And when the gospel has been preached to every one in the world (Mk.16.15 above) Christ will return. And we will meet him in the clouds to be with him forever, the blessed hope (Mt.24.14 & 30-31, 1Cor.15.51-53, 1Thes.4.13-18 and Tit.2.13). But how can we preach it when today's so-called churches have displaced it with their own doctrines (See above.), something Paul prohibited (Gal.1.8-9). Thereby they confine us to their building(s).

Thankfully I found the gospel one day while reading my bible. The Apostle Paul clearly defines it in his first letter to the church in Corinth (See 1 Cor.15.1-4). And he forbade the preaching of any other gospel (Gal.1.8-9) as today's so-called churches are doing (See above.). To preach it we simply have to declare to people as we go (Mk.16.15 & Eph.6.15) how that - "Christ died for our sins; He was buried, and he rose the third day" (1Cor.15.3-4 abbr.).

This is the 'gospel according to the scriptures', the same gospel Paul received and preached (v.3-4). And when we speak it to them in person with our mouth (preach it, 1Cor.1.21), as he (Col.4.3-4 & Eph.6.19-20) and Christ's other disciples did (Mk.16.15 Mk.16.20, Acts 8.4, 10.38-44 & 11.19-21, Rom.10.14-15, 1Cor.15.11, 1Thes.1.8 and 1Jn.1.3), it saves every one that believes (Rom.1.16). The gospel also saves people when we preach it to them over the phone (1Cor.1.21b & 4.15b).

To fulfill Christ's commandment to preach the gospel to every one in the world (Mk.16.15 above) we must also teach at least one person we beget through the gospel to preach it (Mk.16.15 above). Thereby the world is saved from the wickedness in which it lies (1Jn.1.3&5.19).

And when his commandment to preach it to every one in the world (Mk.16.15 above) is fulfilled he will return. And we will meet him in the clouds to be with him forever, the blessed hope (See references above.).

Let's not allow a little leaven (false doctrine) to leaven the whole lump (Gal.6.15-16).
