It may not be for silver
It may not be for gold,
But still by tens of thousands
Is this precious Savior sold.
Sold for a godless friendship,
Sold for a selfish aim,
Sold for a fleeting trifle,
Sold for an empty name.
Sold in the mart of Science,
Sold in the seat of Power,
Sold at the shrine of Fortune,
Sold in Pleasure’s bower.
Sold where the awful bargain
None but God’s eye can see!
Ponder, my soul, the question:
Shall He be sold by thee?”
Poem from post here … HERESY BY PROXY
Dying Testimonies of Saved And UnSaved
Someone from my former church died this past Sunday. He was saved. He was a Jewish believer. He was close to my age. It certainly makes you think. Death is … well … death. We leave this world forever. Then I wondered about the many souls who do not know the Lord. I thought about what more I could do to evangelize the lost. The day my father died (before I knew he was going to die that day) the words came to my heart … “If a person knows the Lord in this life they will go to be with the Lord when they die, but if they don’t know the Lord in this life they will not go to be with the Lord when they die.” That certainly is true. I’m not sure if my father knew the Lord. I don’t know if my father was saved. (See … HOW CAN I BE SAVED?)
Heaven and hell are real places. Not because I say so, but because God’s Word says so. If you are reading this post and have never been born again I say to you … Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God. 2 Corinthians 5:20
This morning I found a book online entitled … Dying Testimonies of the Saved And Unsaved. I only read the introduction but it certainly looks interesting.
Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth. Proverbs 27:1
Go here … HOW CAN I BE SAVED?

Many have heard the term Immaculate Conception and they are under the impression that it is talking about the SINLESS Christ who was born in the womb of the Jewish Virgin Mary, but is actually a doctrine regarding the SINLESSNESS of Mary. In other words, it is a teaching that declares that the Jewish Virgin Mary was CONCEIVED without SIN, and thus the term Immaculate Conception. This is a teaching that has not been accepted by most PROTESTANT churches. The teaching of the Immaculate Conception has actually been around for a long time, but it did not become official Roman Catholic dogma until December 8, 1854. The question is this: Was Mary actually conceived without sin, or is this just the Roman Catholic interpretation? Here is an excerpt from an earlier post entitled: “Was Mary A Sinner Or The Mother Of God?”
What does the Bible teach us about Mary, the mother of Jesus? That is the question of the hour. Was Mary a sinner like the rest of us? Is Mary the mother of God? Should my focus be on Mary or on Jesus Christ?
Was Mary A Sinner?
“And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Savior. For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name. And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation. He hath shewed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree. He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away. He hath holpen (helped) his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy; As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for ever. And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to her own house.” (Luke 1:46-56)
In the passage above we find Mary giving all the praise and glory to God because he regarded her low (humble) estate. Mary also rejoiced in God her Savior, and we know that only sinners need a Savior.
“As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:” (Romans 3:10)
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;” (Romans 3:23)
Satan Uses A Demonic Counterfeit Of Mary To Deceive Souls
It is rather interesting that the Roman Catholic doctrine regarding Mary mimics actual truth regarding Jesus Christ.
The Roman Catholic teaching known as The Immaculate Conception (Mary being conceived without sin) is a DEMONIC COUNTERFEIT of the sinlessness of Jesus Christ. (2 Corinthians 5:21)
The Roman Catholic teaching of The Assumption (Mary was raised into heaven without dying) is a DEMONIC COUNTERFEIT of the actual ascension of Jesus Christ into heaven. (Luke 24:50-53, Acts 1:8-11)
The Roman Catholic teaching of Mary being the Queen of Heaven is a DEMONIC COUNTERFEIT of Jesus Christ being the King of Kings and Lord of Lords! (Deuteronomy 10:17, Psalm 136:3, 1 Timothy 6:15, Revelation 17:14, 19:16)
The Roman Catholic teaching of Mary as a mediator (mediatrix) is a DEMONIC COUNTERFEIT of Jesus Christ being the one and only mediator for mankind! (1 Timothy 2:5)
May the Lord Jesus Christ bless this word to your heart.
