God : there are two ways
man: thousands of denominations in churchianity ALL thinking THEY have THE ONLY way
Be clear, to God there are only two paths.
YOU WILL KNOW CLEARLY WHICH PATH YOU ARE ON BY THE END OF THIS POST.
I have been searching for this clarity and closure my entire life. These are my findings. Going forward I now have closure in this matter forever. Although these are not my original thoughts whatsoever, I would consider this my final research paper on life.
I pray all of you will take 10 minutes or so to read this.
For those of you that know me personally, if we ever shared JUST ONE MOMENT in life, where I made you smile, laugh, or did one act of kindness to you, I ask please that in turn at your convenience you will go to a quiet place and take 10 minutes out of your life and read this:
God : there are two ways
God's way
The way of Cain
God's way - simple, light burden
Cain's way - confusing, heavy burden (man's religion)
Cain and Abel were brothers and the first two humans born to Adam and Eve. God required them both to bring him a sacrifice/offering. Abel brought what God wanted, it was simple and easy to understand as it was clearly communicated to both of them prior. God accepted Abel's offering and rejected Cain's offering. Cain was jealous and frustrated by this rejection and killed Abel out of jealousy.
Genesis 4:5-7 KJV
But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.
And the Lord said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?
If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.
Cain sacrifice took way more work to do than what God required.
Cain knew exactly what simple sacrifice was required and if he brought simply what God wanted he would easily be accepted.
God reminded Cain of this. One can be on the way of Cain and change to God's way easily.
However, Cain wanted to please God SO BAD, even more that he thought God's simple required sacrifice could do. He did this knowing that all God wanted was for him to trust the simple sacrifice that God required from Cain and Abel WOULD BE PLEASING to God.
Cain wanted to please God even more with what in his mind was a sacrifice that took more of his own work to show God how much he loved him. So he did it his way.
The way of Cain.
Most of us were taught by religion growing up to think Cain was just some rebel who wanted to party and sleep around. He did not want to be bothered by all this offering stuff he just wanted to party.
THIS IS THE GREATEST ERROR
Cain desperately WANTED to PLEASE God with His offering. He wanted to please God with so much fervor and zeal he came up with an idea for an offering that HE THOUGHT would please God even more than the offering God simply required which was simple and easy to understand.
This was the creation of man's religion. Back in the book of Genesis. Religion is man's creation. Not God's. Just like Cain, religion is man's idea for an offering that would please God even more than the offering God simply required which was simple and easy to understand.
ALL MAN'S RELIGION IS THE WAY OF CAIN.
Beware of the way of Cain, the first Pharisee in the bible, who sought to establish his own righteousness and eternal life in bliss by his own works, instead of God's way, to trust & have faith in God ALONE, for righteousness and eternal life in bliss.
Jude 1:11 KJV
Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.
God made it very simple.
God's way - you trust ONLY in Him for righteousness and to live forever in bliss.
The way of Cain - you trust in yourself and your own works for righteousness and to live forever in bliss.
No matter what your denomination, you are in one of these two categories right now.
You say you are a follower or disciple of Jesus Christ ? You think you are on the narrow path and not the wide path to destruction correct ?
Jesus preached against sin to the Pharisees because they were seeking to establish their own righteousness by their works.
If you seek to establish your own righteousness by your own works the standard to be a completely righteous or "right" person is logically COMPLETE perfection' = you never sinned once.
When you stand before God you need to show him how you are completely right and have never sinned once. Spoiler alert: you already failed the test miserably, even if you did not do what you consider "bad sins".
In the bible when it says be righteous, blameless, and pure. Has that ever bothered you? Are you or have you ever been righteous, blamesless, and pure?
Most of the times it bothered me was when I was seeking God and wanting to be right with God. I open my bible and I see be righteous, blameless, and holy to be saved. I was probably hungover from the night before at the time thinking how can I ever do this for the rest of my life ???
When the bible says be righteous, holy, and blameless it is simply telling you that's the standard.
This is not meant so you can work harder to attain being righteous on your own, it is meant to show you that you cannot do it on your own so stop trying and trust in God to be righteous, holy , and blameless.
That is God's main purpose of discussing sin in the bible. To show us we cannot do it on our own and need to trust God. If God thought we could live a moral life on our own, before or after we were saved, Jesus would not have had to been sacrificed in our place.
God knows that you CANNOT achieve this on your own. So He sent Jesus as a sacrifice to make possible for you to be declared righteous forever.
It's really that simple. You want to be right with God forever?
Trust ONLY in the death burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ for your salvation AND righteousness. IF so you are saved and cannot lose your salvation because you are trusting ONLY in Jesus death burial and resurrection.
NO other works of religion are required. Flee the works and false teachers of ANY religion that teach self reliance cloaked under a building and man made requirements to please God.
Flee from the way of Cain !
Once someone trusts God's way, focus on sin is no more as those that trust only in God's way have been made righteous in God's eyes because the blood of Christ paid for their sins and Jesus's resurrection gives them eternal life because Jesus's faith and righteousness gets applied to your account
Then you go on your life continuing to believe that you are now righteous in God's eyes forever BECAUSE OF WHAT Jesus DID so you are free to seek Him and grow in your knowledge of God in love without fear. Your sin can no longer separate you from God again because God will only see you as righteous as Jesus was because that is the only thing you trust for righteousness. When you stand before God having taking and believed God's way there is no longer a judgment for sin EVER.
It is then you are able to walk around in the faith that you have been made righteous before how God sees you forever and you stand in that grace and nothing can separate you from God is when you are free to be an imager of God and be a blessing to other people and show them His love so they may get off the wide path of the way of Cain and enter the narrow path Jesus discussed.
When we show other people the love of God we are imaging Him. It really was meant to be that simple. Love God and Love people with the Love of God, ONLY trusting in God for righteousness through the death burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
God's way - simple, light burden
Cain's way - confusing, heavy burden (man's religion)
After you are saved and sealed forever, you SHOULD (not required before salvation, however you can earn rewards in heaven now once you are saved) seek to grow in your relationship with God (this is why He created you to be back in His family forever now and in heaven) seeking to come to more knowledge of Him through His word and prayer. But for this to be effective and to let Christ be formed in you then you need the faith that you are forgiven past present and future sins (God's grace).
Some trust the gospel then religion brings them back under the way of Cain. Before your religious mind starts thinking of all these scenarios on who is and is not saved based on that first sentence......stop that thought process ......that is the way of Cain response. If you aren't trusting in God alone and completely for righteousness start today and never stop. It requires faith and to stop trusting in the way of Cain, man's religion, which will send billions to hell.
Christians will remain babies in Christ if they mix in the way of Cain after salvation and will lose rewards for this. I also believe the extent we image God in this world will determine our roles and responsibilities in heaven. Remember to image God is simply to show His love to other people and give Him the glory for it as it is Christ's love flowing through you. Really simple. God wanted us to love God and people.
What do you think your pastor or priest will say to this article? They will use cunning religious sounding words and theologies and STRENGTH in numbers to use guilt to keep you under the way of Cain. They will tell you that I am lost and going to hell and I'm saying all this because all I want to do is sin. They are the ministers of the way of Cain only serving themselves and the way of Cain.
Well if you are under the way of Cain you should feel guilty. Because you are essentially telling God that the death burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ was not enough to save you so you will add some things on your own to make it an even better sacrifice. Just like Cain did.
Satan's biggest tool is not sin. It is religion. People in religion think they are righteous because of their religion. All Religion is man made. That is the devils biggest snare. It is the way off Cain.
Just like Cain, most people on the wide path to hell on the way of Cain think they are righteous in God's eyes because of some element of that man's religion. They are like frogs in boiling water due to their pride.
Make no mistake. The narrow path Jesus discussed that leads to life is God's way. The wide path that leads to hell that everyone is on is the way of Cain. Would Jesus be discussing any way other than God's way?
Jesus had compassion for sinners that KNEW they were sinners and could not be anything else without the help of God.
Jesus told religious leaders they were on the wide path to hell because they believed and taught to earn your own righteousness.
Matthew 7:13-23 KJV
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.
(Do more people in churchianity follow God's way or the way of Cain ?)
Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
(Teachers of the way of Cain are not running around in red capes and horns they are behind the pulpits in religion telling you what YOU NEED TO DO to be and stay saved. All their instruction sounds like it will be a more pleasing sacrifice to God on top of simply believing and trusting the death burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. This is the way of Cain)
Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
(God's way - you bring good things from inside you because you know you are free from sin and rely only on God's righteousness. That love and freedom causes you to want to share God's image and love with others
The way of Cain - you bring additional "good works" that you have accomplished and you think others should do on top of simply trusting in God's righteousness. This includes any religious ceremony. The will not save you they cannot make you righteous. Water does not make you righteous. The death burial and resurrection of God can. You are constantly on a treadmill of sin and frustration but you try to make it right by doing more religious activities. The religious activities eases your guilt conscience towards your sin and also shows that you are trying to please God unlike all the other sinners. This is the way of Cain)
Jesus continued in Matthew:
"Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity."
(Just like satan twisted the story of Cain and Abel, he used the verse above to make all of us think "doeth the will of the Father" means to do good works for God.)
That makes no sense and is illogical. The people that Jesus said He does not know WERE THE RELIGIOUS PEOPLE DOING THE GOOD WORKS.
Jesus does not recognize their good works because they were not from an outflow of faith and trust in God for righteousness , they were worthless GOOD MORAL SOUNDING RELIGIOUS works because the Pharisees thought THOSE good works made one righteous.
Narrow path - Destination heaven - those that trust in ONLY God's way for righteousness and imaging God's LOVE back to other people are THOSE THAT ARE THE ONES DOING/OBEYING THE WILL OR THE WAY OF THE FATHER.
Wide Path - Destination hell - those that trust in in themselves for righteousness. This is NOT the will of the Father. WHY ON EARTH DID WE ALWAYS ERRONEOUSLY THINK THAT Jesus taught trusting in one's own works is the will of God in these passages ??
We were taught so by the teachers of the way of Cain.
Once God declares you righteous. You cannot lose by moral imperfection because you are not attaining it by moral perfection. If you believe you can lose your salvation you are working to keep it, again trusting in your own righteousness.
Today what God wants from you to be saved and have eternal bliss in heaven is simple
1) Acknowledge that sin has separated you from God and you cannot achieve righteousness on your own.
2) Renounce trusting the way of Cain, your religious works for righteousness, and all religion that teaches you that you have to do anything else besides trust in what Jesus death burial and resurrection to be declared righteous in God's eyes forever.
Never place your trust in anything else for righteousness again except what Jesus did.
This is the simple gospel that saves:
1 Corinthians 15:1-4 KJV
Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
If you add any human works to that belief and trust, you are seeking to establish your own righteousness before God. You will be judged by your works in this case since you are telling God you can be righteous on your own. (this is what Romans 2 is about). This is the way that keeps people, confused , fearful lost and dead in your sins, and eventually to hell. For this is the way of Cain.
🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨
A SERIOUS Warning To ALL False Teachers In EVERY Religion and Denomination in churchianity that Are Teaching The Way of Cain.
🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨
For those that are teaching the way of Cain, the first Pharisee, if you continue ENSLAVING God's people in the way of Cain, then all the woe judgment Jesus gave to the Pharisees will be your eternal punishment. How do I know this ? Oh well Jesus Himself said it.
This is a long passage the answer is in the last verse.
The future for all FALSE TEACHERS IN RELIGION of the way of Cain from Jesus Himself:
Matthew 23:13-35 KJV
13 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.
14 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.
15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.
16 Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor!
17 Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?
18 And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty.
19 Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?
20 Whoso therefore shall swear by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon.
21 And whoso shall swear by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein.
22 And he that shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon.
23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
24 Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.
25 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.
26 Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.
27 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.
28 Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
29 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,
30 And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.
31 Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets.
32 Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.
33 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
34 Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city:
35 That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.
Jesus told all that TEACH OTHERS the way of Cain that because Cain was the first Pharisee and because they teach the way of Cain judgment for ALL RIGHTEOUS BLOOD EVER SHED INCLUDING ABEL WILL BE ON THE HEADS OF THE FALSE TEACHERS THAT TEACH THE WAY OF CAIN.
I will be imperfect my remaining time on this earth, but my focus is clear. I want to image God's love that I have received forever through Jesus' finished work back to other people.
However, I WILL NEVER GO BACK TO THE WAY OF CAIN .

key is creature
God / Jesus made me and all in the family of God that are in Christ a new creature forever
HOW EXCITING IS THAT !!!
Thank you God my Father and Jesus to you be all glory now and forevermore !!!
God's Gospel Of Love For His Creation
To be saved: You not ONLY have to believe in who Jesus is and was and always will be, God became man, you ALSO have to believe and trust only in Jesus’ death burial and resurrection for the forgiveness of sins, and God’s free gift of eternal life, and to be declared righteous forever in God's eyes. Believe and trust the simple gospel that saves - 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 & 2 Corinthians 5:1-20. Trust ONLY in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus for your salvation, to be declared righteous by God forever ! Any trust in your own human works and efforts , whether it be moral or religious has zero power to save you.
After you are saved: - Romans 12:2 - To grow in God's grace and learn about your exciting new creature identity and future then renew your mind daily with body of Christ creature doctrine (Romans through Philemon), including praying through the simple gospel that saves every day (see my personal example below) in your own words. New creature / BOC doctrine, is the instruction that Jesus gave the Apostle Paul for the body of Christ creature found in Romans through Philemon. This is how God forms Christ in the inner mind of body of Christ new creature members. This is body of Christ creature doctrine only.
Earn rewards in heaven now: - by applying sound doctrine written to the body of Christ new creature (Romans through Philemon) in your inner man , the Holy Spirit will use the body of Christ creature doctrine to teach you it so Christ be formed in you during the body of Christ new creature dispensation and then you image that love back to others, not taking glory for it before man and or in your own mind ! God gets this glory by you believing that is exactly what you are doing when you love people , imaging Christ ! Because you now understand God's love and forgiveness is forever. Once you trust only in Christ for righteousness you have it and sin can no longer separate you from God. It is that simple !!!. - 1 Corinthians 3:12-15 , Hebrews 11:1-6
The Simple Gospel That Saves throughout all history:
Do you acknowledge your sin has separated you from God/Jesus ( OT did not know exactly who Messiah was and BOC creature did , Jesus = God, Jesus = fullness of God became man, Jesus, finished work (DBR), and renounce any attempt to fix your sin problem and be declared righteous by God by your own good works, moral or religion, or thinking you are too good to go to hell because of your moral and religious works, and trust only in Jesus ( God became man) finished work, which is His death burial and resurrection, for forgiveness of sins , eternal life and Jesus righteousness imputed to your account so God declares you righteous forever and sin can never separate you from God again? yes or no ?
Lastly if you ask why this has not been taught as being this simple by mainstream church I anity = ALL MANS religions/denominations/churches in buildings…….. when it is right in the Bible….well here is why :
2 Corinthians 4:3-4
And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled [a]to those who are perishing, 4 in whose case the god of this [b]world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that [c]they will not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.
2 Corinthians 11:13-15
13 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. 14 No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. 15 Therefore it is not surprising if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their deeds.
This is also why the book of Acts is a story of the transition from the Old creature - Israel's program to the New creature the body of Christ. I believe both Peter and Paul were charged with making sure this transition went smoothly and Peter was not supposed to understand body of Christ creature doctrine all together. Paul obvi knew Israel creature doctrine and BOC creature doctrine.
"Creature" is key
The key to learning your direct instruction in the bible
is
creature
2 Timothy 2:15
however we can learn things of God's way versus the way of cain In all books of the bible, some in plain view in His word, and many hidden in His word.
2 Timothy 3:16-17
Hebrews 11:1-6
11 Now faith is the certainty of things [a]hoped for, a [b]proof of things not seen. 2 For by it the people of old [c]gained approval.
3 By faith we understand that the [d]world has been created by the word of God so that what is seen has not been made out of things that are visible. 4 By faith Abel offered to God a better sacrifice than Cain, through which he was attested to be righteous, God testifying [e]about his gifts, and through [f]faith, though he is dead, he still speaks. 5 By faith Enoch was taken up so that he would not see death; and he was not found because God took him up; for before he was taken up, he was attested to have been pleasing to God. 6 And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for the one who comes to God must believe that He exists, and that He proves to be One who rewards those who seek Him. 7 By faith Noah, being warned by God about things not yet seen, [g]in reverence prepared an ark for the salvation of his household, by which he condemned the world, and became an heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.
To God our Father and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ be ALL glory both now and forevermore !!!
Grace and peace !!!
