Coronavirus and the Last Hours

-
Update April 4th: The failure of the American people to take the Covid-19 seriously has resulted in a dangerous spread in places like Miami, New Orleans, New York City, and other places. When I first published this article on March 18th, I warned that we need to wear masks because there is no testing. That is not a medical assessment, it is just common sense. Now, everyone is being told to wear masks. Vindication!

But we still are concerned about families running out of money. Even the government gift will likely be too little to late unless there is a larger attempt in the near future.

-------------------------------------------------

The Coronavirus government response is overblown in many rural places in the USA. In the USA, the death rate, if all the sick people were tested and counted, would be very low although it is disputed. It would likely be flu like in severity but with stronger and fearful symptoms. However, the problem is this is a social disease and there are hotspots like New York City where the virus is spreading rapidly.

I wear a mask as a precaution because where I live, there is little testing.

The economic chaos will be destructive, maybe more destructive than the virus, unless cooler heads prevail. The virus is real. It is dangerous for many.

But the danger to families with children and for seniors due to large crowds at grocery stores is real as well. Jamming people into grocery stores seems unwise.

Anyway, the elect in Christ must keep their eyes on Christ, praying to the Father for His return. The Coronavirus is a biblical plague, as are all viruses unleashed on mankind.

Only God shows mercy, in the midst of these dangerous terrors. He is our Rock in these last hours in time. Unbelief is the sin the Holy Spirit reveals to the chosen in Christ. They are compelled to believe as God changes the will.

No one can be saved without this sovereign work of the Spirit that draws the elect to Christ as Savior.

Summary of Gospel and Christian Doctrine

-
This list of crucial Christian doctrine is not every crucial doctrine but is enough to separate the believer from the false churches.  Three pillars of Christian doctrine:  1. Christ is God along with the Father and Spirit. Christ's righteousness is God's gift to those saved. 2. The law of Moses cannot save people. Only the gospel can save. The law of Moses is external to the heart. It is good, but acts as a curse on mankind as only Jesus could keep it. 3. The true Christian is saved by predestination, not at all by free will. -----‐---------------------- Preserve the blessing in Christ: A. Flee the Denominations. Flee Sacralist religion. B. Flee all cults that seek to control your lives as well, fellow believers!  C. Flee those who teach Christ was begotten in heaven. He was only begotten on earth, being called the Son after He was born and then begotten at the Resurrection. Christ was the eternal Word with no beginning in heaven. See John 1:1 Luke 1:34 and Acts 13:33. D. And

Predestined to Hell

-
The human mind cannot always take in the sobering reality of predestination. We who are predestined are grateful, but sorrowful. We know many we love are not so predestined. It hurts. Paul said he could wish that he would suffer if his kinsmen would be saved. But it is also that same Apostle Paul who told the truth in Romans chapter 9, that some vessels were created for special use, like fancy kitchenware, and others were created for menial use, to be thrown away. The truth is, sin is created by those who are not kept from it. The devil and Adam created sin in their acts of defiance, having been permitted to have a will apart from the will of God. They used that will to create sin. It is always that way. Only God is good, and only His Will is sinless. So then, there are a few predestined to heaven, through God given faith. And there are many, including many who believed in predestination like Calvin and the Protestants, who are predestined to hell. They were created for menial

The Law of Moses Is a Curse

-
Yes it is true. The law of Moses is a curse. The law is good, but it is external to the heart. It is a curse to mankind because it condemns mankind to failure. The law of Moses requires sinless perfection. Genesis 28:58-68. All the law of Moses must be kept. And man could not do so. Deuteronomy 6:25 and Acts 15:10. The Sermon on the Mount is stricter, morally, than Moses. The commands of the Apostles are intended for the hearts of believers. But the law on stone was not intended for the heart. It governed only outward behavior. Keeping New Covenant commands is what true Christians, those chosen before the world, must follow. The law of faith, the Law of Christ, is the law in force. But Christ kept the law of Moses and offered the perfect sacrifice to free the chosen from the curse of the external law! Galatians 3:13. Paul established the law by confirming Christ was the fulfillment of the types and shadows found in the law. Roman's 3:31. But the ordinances tied to those types
