glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification
for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven."

He broke it and said, ‘Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance
of Me (Christ). " (I Corinthians 11:23, 24). "

of God."

lives."
Romans 3:10-12 "As it is written, there is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after
God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one."
Romans 3:22-24 "This righteousness from God comes through
faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall
short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus."

the disobedience of one man, many were made sinners: so also by the obedience
of one, many shall be made just.

is no one who understands, no one who seeks God. All have turned away, they have together
become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one."
Galatians 3:22 But the Scripture declares that the whole world is a prisoner
of sin, so that what was promised, being given through faith in Jesus Christ, might be given to those who believe.
1 John 2:16 For everything in the world—the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and
the boasting of what he has and does—comes not from the Father but from the world.
Only Jesus was SINLESS!
Hebrew 4:15 "For we do not have a high priest who is unable
to sympathize with our weaknesses,
but we have one who has been tempted in every way,
just as we are - yet was without sin."
2 Cor. 5:21 God made Him who had no sin to be sin for
us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.
1 Peter 1:19 But with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect.
1 Peter 2:22 He committed no sin, and no deceit was found in his mouth.
Hebrew 7:26 Such a high priest meets our need - one who
is holy, blameless, pure, set apart from sinners, exalted above the heavens.
Christ's Sacrifice Once
for All . Jesus finished the work of redemption.
John 19:30 When he had received the drink, Jesus said, "It is finished."
With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.
Hebrews 9:28 ...Christ was sacrificed once
to take away the sins of many people...
Hebrew 10:13-14 Since that time he waits for his enemies to be made his footstool, because by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy.
Hebrew 7:27-28 "Unlike the other high priests, he does not need to offer sacrifices
day after day, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people. He (Christ) sacrificed
for their sins once for all when he offered himself. For the law appoints as high priests
men who are weak; but the oath, which came after the law, appointed the Son, who has been made perfect
forever."
Who was the Virgin Mary of the Bible?
Luke 1:38 "I am the Lord's servant," Mary answered."
Luke 1:46 And Mary said: "My soul glorifies the Lord and
my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has been mindful of
the humble state of his servant.
John 2:4-5 "Dear woman, why do you involve me?" Jesus replied, "My time has not yet
come." His mother said to the servants, "Do whatever HE tells you."
Mother of Jesus was also a sinner and needed a Savior.
Luke 2:21-24 "On the eighth day, when it was time to
circumcise him, he was named Jesus, the name the angel had given him before he had been conceived. When the
time of their purification according to the Law of Moses had been completed, Joseph and Mary took
him to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord (as it is written in the Law of the Lord, "Every firstborn male is to be consecrated
to the Lord"), and to offer a sacrifice in keeping with what is said in the Law of the Lord: "a pair of doves or two young
pigeons."
Romans 3:10 As it is written: "There is no one righteous, not even one;
Romans 3:23 "... for all
have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,..."
Luke 1:46-47 And Mary
said: "My soul glorifies the Lord and my
spirit rejoices in God my Savior."

was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing."
1 Peter 4:11 "... so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belongs the glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen."

and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee
will bow, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ
is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."
Jesus Christ is the only Savior! Salvation is of God, not of
man.

5:18 "Yes, Adam's one sin brought condemnation upon everyone, but Christ's one act of righteousness
makes all people right in God's sight and gives them life."

under heaven given to men by which we must be saved."

answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
John 10:7- 11 Therefore Jesus
said again, "I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep. All who ever came before me were
thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. I am the gate; whoever
enters through me will be saved. He will come in and go out, and find pasture. The thief comes
only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
Isaiah 43:11 "I, even I, am the LORD,
and apart from me there is no savior."

refuge,my shield and the horn of my salvation.
He is my stronghold, my refuge and my savior—
from violent men you save me.

to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his
people from their sins."

Lord."

sins to Israel."

the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world."
2 Peter 1:11 ... and you will receive a rich welcome
into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
2 Peter 3:18 But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen.
1 Peter 1:18-19 For you know that it was not with
perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your forefathers,
but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish
or defect.
Was the Virgin Mary a virgin through her entire life? No, she had
other children with her husband Joseph!
Matthew 13:55-56 "Is
not this the carpenter's son? Is not His mother called Mary, and His brothers, James and Joseph
and Simon and Judas? "And His sisters, are
they not all with us? Where then did this man get all these things?"
Mark 6:3 Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James, and Joses, and Judas, and Simon? Are not His sisters here with us?
And they took offense at Him.
Matthew 12:46 While He was still speaking to the multitudes,
behold, His mother and brothers were standing outside, seeking to speak to Him. And someone said
to Him, "Behold, Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside seeking to speak to You." But
He answered the one who was telling Him and said, ...
Luke 8:19 And His mother and brothers
came to Him, and they were unable to get to Him because of the crowd.
Matthew 1:23-25 And Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as
the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took her as his wife, and kept her a virgin until
she gave birth to a Son; and he called His name Jesus.
Matthew
1:18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows. When His mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before
they came together she was found to be with child by the Holy Spirit.
1 Cor 7:2 - 4 "But since there is so much immorality,
each man should have his own wife, and each woman her own husband. The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife,
and likewise the wife to her husband. The wife’s body does not belong to her alone but also to her
husband. In the same way, the husband’s body does not belong to him alone but also to his wife."
WHO CAN INTERPRET THE BIBLE?
Matthew 23:13 "Hypocrites! For you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men; for you neither go in
yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in."
2 Corinthians 4 "Therefore, having this ministry by the mercy of God, we do not lose heart. But we
have renounced disgraceful, underhanded ways. We refuse to practice cunning or to tamper with God's word, but by the open
statement of the truth we would commend ourselves to everyone's conscience in the sight
of God."
What about Tradition of men? God is not interested in religion!
Micah 6:16 "You have observed the statutes of Omri and all the practices
of Ahab's house, and you have followed their traditions. Therefore I will give you over to
ruin and your people to derision; you will bear the scorn of the nations. "
Romans 10:3 Since they did not know the righteousness that comes from
God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness.
Matthew 15:3 Jesus replied, "And why do you break the command of God for the
sake of your tradition?
Matthew 15:6 ... he is not to 'honor his father ' with it. Thus you nullify
the Word of God for the sake of your tradition.
Luke 11:39 Then the Lord said to him, "Now then, you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup
and dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness.
Mark 7:6 ...These people honor me with their lips,
but
their hearts are far from me.
Mark 7:7-9 They worship me in vain; their teachings
are but rules taught by men.' You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to the traditions
of men." And he said to them: "You have a fine way of setting aside the commands of God in order to observe your
own traditions!
Matthew 15:9 They worship me in vain;
their
teachings are but rules taught by men.
Galatians 6:3 For if anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.

requirement for salvation! Baptism can't save anyone.
1 Corinthians 1:17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but
to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.
Mark 1:4
And so John came, baptizing in the desert region and preaching a baptism of repentance for the
forgiveness of sins.
Acts 2:41 "Then those who gladly received His Word were baptized."
Mark 16:16 "He who believes and is baptized will be saved."
Romans 1:16-17 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is
the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For therein
is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
Ephesians
2:8-9 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it
is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.
1 Corinthians 1:17 For Christ did not send me to baptize but to preach the gospel, and not
with words of eloquent wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.
There is only ONE WAY to heaven! God's way!
Matthew 7:13-14 Our Lord stated it this way: “Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the
gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: because strait is the gate,
and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it."
John 14:6 Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes
to the Father except through me".
Acts 4:12 "Salvation is found in no one else (only in Christ), for there is no other name under
heaven given to men by which we must be saved."
The Bible is God's Word, not Catechism!

Do you have to be member of Catholic or any other religious
organization, in order to get to heaven? No!

the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Matthew 28:18 Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been
given to me.
Acts 4:10 -12 Let me clearly state to you and to
all the people of Israel that he was healed in the name and power of Jesus
Christ from Nazareth, the man you crucified, but whom God raised from the dead. For
Jesus is the one referred to in the Scriptures, where it says, `The stone that you builders rejected has now become the cornerstone.' There
is salvation in no one else! There is no other name in all of heaven for people to call on to save them."
John 1:12 Yet to
all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children
of God.
Romans 1:16 I am not ashamed of the Gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.
Colossians 1:14,20 In
whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:... And having made peace
through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him I say, whether they be things in earth,
or things in heaven.

and gold on them, and do not take it for yourselves, or you will be ensnared by it, for it is detestable to the LORD your
God.
Should we pray to Mary or to God?
Matthew 6:7 And when you are praying, do
not use meaningless repetition as the Gentiles do, for they suppose
that they will be heard for their many words.
Genesis 25:21 "Isaac prayed to the LORD on behalf of his wife, because
she was barren. The LORD answered his prayer, and his wife Rebekah became
pregnant."
Ephesians 6:18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all
kinds of prayers and requests...
Matthew 6:6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray
to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
God hates the Rosary and any other repetitious prayer!
Matthew 6:7 "And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think
they will be heard because of their many words."
Blessings come from God!

you a thousand times and bless you as he has promised!
Genesis 28:4 May he give you and your descendants the blessing
given to Abraham, so that you may take possession of the land where you now live as an alien, the land God gave to Abraham."

and increase your numbers until you become a community of peoples.
What is the Gospel?
1 Corinthians 15:1-5
Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you,
which you received and on which you have taken your stand. By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I
preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain. For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third
day according to the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve.
Watch out for anyone who forbids people
to marry or to eat meats!

they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.
Who was real Quenn of Heaven?
Jeremiah 44:17-19 We will certainly do everything we said we would: We will burn incense to the
Queen of Heaven and will pour out drink offerings to her just as we and our fathers, our kings and our officials did in the
towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem. At that time we had plenty of food and were well off and suffered no harm.
But ever since we stopped burning incense to the Queen of Heaven and pouring out drink offerings to her, we have had nothing
and have been perishing by sword and famine." The women added, "When we burned incense to the Queen of Heaven and poured out
drink offerings to her, did not our husbands know that we were making cakes like her image and pouring out drink offerings
to her?"
Biblical Mary
(mother of Jesus) is NOT Queen of Heaven!
Infant baptism ... Can babies confess their sins and accept Jesus
Christ as their Saviour? No!
Matthew 3:6 "Confessing their sins, they
were baptized by him in the Jordan River."
All pastors are to be married as a
general rule . Apostle Peter was also married!
1 Tim. 3:2 "Now
the overseer must be above reproach, the husband of but one wife, temperate,
self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach,.."
Matthew 8:14
"When Jesus came into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother lying
sick with a fever."
***
Rejecting Christ and His gospel leaves you condemned
to hell!
Please
don't ignore God's Word - the BIBLE
and
His way of Salvation!
Yes, you can know right now that you have eternal life
and that you will go to Heaven! It's because of what Christ did for you, not what you did for Christ!
Put your trust in Jesus Christ (of the Bible) nothing else and nobody else !
John 12:48
Jesus said, "He who rejects Me,
and does not receive My words, has that which judges him the word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day"
Romans 10:13 "For whoever shall call upon the name of the Lord
shall be saved."
Let's focus on Jesus Christ of the Bible!
