Because he was obsessed with money and fame, the prophet Balaam became unable to hear the voice of God.

So he got angry and beat his donkey because it wouldn’t go forward,

At that moment, God opened Balaam’s spiritual eyes and made him understand why his donkey wouldn’t go forward.

He saw an angel standing in front of him with a sword to kill him (Numbers 22:31-35).

If his donkey had passed by the angel, the prophet Balaam would have been killed immediately.

At that time, he had to completely repent and turn away from his life of sin.

Although he regretted his mistakes, he did not completely repent and turn to the Lord.

So God told him to go to Balak. He went to Balak and taught him how the Israelites would be destroyed.

The way to Israel's destruction was through idol worship and eating food sacrificed to idols. Balaam explained this spiritual principle to King Balak.

So Balak set up an idol worship site near the Israelite camp, invited the Israelites there, and made them eat food sacrificed to the idol and commit adultery with foreign women (Numbers 25:1-3, 31:16).

As a result, many Israelites received God's judgment and died from epidemic diseases.

Then Phinehas rose up in God's righteous anger and stabbed an Israelite man who was committing adultery with a foreign woman. (Numbers 25:6-9)

God looked upon his righteous conduct and stopped the fierce anger of God.

However, many servants of the Lord now say that it is okay to eat food sacrificed to idols.

The Bible tells us not to eat food sacrificed to idols. We must follow the words of the Bible and not the doctrines of men.

However, those who believe in human doctrines protest to me, "Eating food sacrificed to idols does not lead to hell."

All who serve idols or eat food sacrificed to idols will perish, but those who repent before perishing will have their sins forgiven by the blood of Jesus.

However, pastors do not understand this word and tell their members that it is okay to eat food sacrificed to idols, so many of God's people are going to hell.

Seeing many members eat food sacrificed to idols and perish, the Apostle Paul vowed to himself that he would never eat meat in his life (1 Corinthians 8:13).

When you buy meat from the market without knowing that it was sacrificed to an idol and eat it, it is not a sin, but when you know that fact and eat it, it is a sin.

All the sacrifices of the Gentiles are offered to demons, and God never accepts such.

I do not want you to have fellowship with demons, says the Lord (1 Corinthians 10:20).

The Jewish people who believe in God should not participate in eating food sacrificed to idols (1 Corinthians 10:18).

However, some Jews ate food sacrificed to idols while claiming to believe only in Jehovah. Such people are all those who rebel against the Lord and are destined to perish.

Today, many believers in Jesus do not realize that eating food sacrificed to idols is participating in idol worship.

Holding memorial services and funeral services and offering flowers to the dead is idol worship.

When we worship and offer flowers for the dead, it is not God who receives glory, but Satan.

When a person dies in this world, his body returns to the earth, and his spirit immediately goes to heaven or hell.

When we die, our spirit immediately leaves this world, and does not remain in this world. Therefore, the sacrifices and flowers offered to the dead are received by Satan and demons.

Whether they are non-believers or believers, when offering sacrifices to the dead, demons receive all the glory.

It is not the souls of the dead that become demons. When angels who served God fall, they become demons.

Since Jesus died on the cross and forgave the sins of mankind, the Old Testament sacrificial system was completely abolished.

The only thing we must believe in is the Savior Jesus.

Jesus is the Almighty Creator God who came as a human being.

In the Old Testament era, the Creator existed as a spirit and worked in the name of Jehovah.

In the New Testament era, Jehovah God came to the world in human flesh and died for the sins of mankind.

The Creator God who existed as the Word came to the world in flesh (John 1:14).

God came to this earth to shed His blood, and that God is Jesus (1 John 5:6).

Jesus is Jehovah, Jehovah is Jesus (John 10:30), and the Holy Spirit is Jesus (Galatians 4:6, 1 Corinthians 3:16).

There are many names of God, but God is one.

Hebrews 13:8 also says that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

Why do many pastors and church members divide the one God into two or three? It is because they do not understand the Bible at all.

It is heresy to not believe in the Word of God and to reject it.

The churches all over the world are now so corrupted.

After many believers go to hell, they cry out that they were deceived by Satan.

God has written His will and given it to everyone, that is the word of the Bible.

Why then do people not understand the word of the Lord and rebel against God’s will?

Every church member should read the Bible frequently. Only by reading the Bible can one discern whether his pastor's sermon is true or false.

Even if a pastor preaches the word of God correctly, if he disobeys the Lord's words and does not repent, he has a false faith like the Pharisees.

Many pastors these days go to karaoke rooms, drink alcohol, enjoy worldly entertainment, and even claim that homosexuality is right.

Why? Are pastors and church members becoming corrupt like this? It is because there are many who believe in Calvin's predestination.

These people say that their past, present, and future sins have already been forgiven, and they think that their one-time salvation is eternal salvation.

Calvin's doctrine of election and perseverance, these human doctrines are absolutely not in line with the Bible.

Because they believe that they have already received salvation of their souls, they commit all kinds of sins, acknowledge the WCC, and say that it is okay to be homosexual.

In some seminaries, students argued that the anti-homosexuality and anti-discrimination law should be passed, and they were the ones who said that the National Assembly should quickly pass this evil law.

A pastor went to Buddhism and asked for forgiveness. The reason was that he said that only Christianity has salvation, and that it caused a lot of damage to Buddhism.

Many churches today believe in pluralism.

They call on the name of Jesus, but they are bound by the doctrines of that sect, and many churches have become passages to hell.

These people have forgotten the way to heaven, and they do not believe in the word of the Lord.

The pastor is anointed as a servant of God, but there are more who do not follow the will of God.

The servants of the Lord who received the Holy Spirit become false prophets because they leave the word of God and believe in the doctrines of men.

In the Old Testament, when a king or priest was appointed, they were anointed.

However, in the New Testament era, anyone who believes in Jesus and repents of his sins becomes a king-like priest before God.

That is why we can rule the world through the name of Jesus.

To rule over this world means to rule over the sins of the world. The prince of this world is the devil, Lucifer (Luke 4:6-7; John 16:11).

When we repent of our sins with the blood of Jesus and obey the words of the Lord, this means ruling over the devil.

The purpose of the appearance of the Son of God was to destroy the work of the devil (1 John 3:8).

The work of the devil is to commit sin, make us worship idols, and prevent us from repenting of our sins.

The sword of God’s word is what can defeat Satan and stop his work.

We are all disciples of Jesus Christ, but there are few who use the Lord’s sword to defeat the devil.

Many believers believe in Jesus only with their mouths and live as servants of Satan. This is the reality of Christians today.

We must enter heaven. but Many people only go to church and do not obey the will of the Lord.

However, we can only enter heaven if we repent and obey. If we cannot enter heaven, we will have no choice but to go to hell.

Even if we abandon our father, our country, our wife, and our children, we must enter heaven (Gen. 12:1; Mark 10:29).

Even if others disobey God's will, we ourselves must obey, repent, and enter heaven.

However, many people give up their faith halfway through because of money, fame, parents, children, etc.

When something hinders our faith and prevents us from going to heaven, we must give up worldly things for God, such as our earthly family, money, fame, etc(Mark 10:29).

Those who love and hold on to worldly things more than God can never enter heaven.

And whether the time is right or not, we must always preach the gospel.

Now, Calvin's doctrine has a higher authority than the Bible.

Calvin's five doctrines became the supreme law of all churches.

God's commandments make us realize our sins and make us repent.

However, Calvin's five doctrines make us commit sins and prevent us from repenting.

The Word of God and the doctrines of men are opposites. The two cannot go together.

However, many pastors have mixed the two into one.

When the word of God and the doctrines of men are mixed, it is called mixed wine.

Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and burned (Luke 12:6-9).

If your righteousness is lower than that of the Pharisees and the scribes, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven (Matthew 5:20).

What is the righteousness of the Pharisees and the scribes? It refers to legalistic righteousness.

On the outside, their lives are righteous and honest, but their hearts are dirty, wicked, and unrepentant.

We must keep our hearts clean.

Do not act like the Pharisees and the scribes. Believe in Jesus with your heart.

We must truly love Jesus and our neighbors, and always forgive others and repent of our sins.

Our outside and inside should not be different (Luke 11:39-41),

When our heart and actions are the same and we live a life of repentance, we are recognized as having the faith to enter heaven.
