A Warning To The World
By Geri Ungurean
If you are reading this article, then you are wondering why I am warning you. In the title, I specify that this warning is to the “World.” You see, I am not part of this world — I belong to Jesus Christ. I am in the world, but not of it.
FROM GOTQUESTIONS.ORG
Question: “How can believers be in the world, but not of the world?”
Answer: When we read of the “world” in the New Testament, we are reading the Greek word cosmos. Cosmos most often refers to the inhabited earth and the people who live on the earth, which functions apart from God. Satan is the ruler of this “cosmos” (John 12:31; 16:11; 1 John 5:19). By the simple definition that the word world refers to a world system ruled by Satan, we can more readily appreciate Christ’s claims that believers are no longer of the world—we are no longer ruled by sin, nor are we bound by the principles of the world. In addition, we are being changed into the image of Christ, causing our interest in the things of the world to become less and less as we mature in Christ.
Believers in Jesus Christ are simply in the world—physically present—but not of it, not part of its values (John 17:14-15). As believers, we should be set apart from the world. This is the meaning of being holy and living a holy, righteous life—to be set apart. We are not to engage in the sinful activities the world promotes, nor are we to retain the insipid, corrupt mind that the world creates. Rather, we are to conform ourselves, and our minds, to that of Jesus Christ (Romans 12:1-2). This is a daily activity and commitment.
We must also understand that being in the world, but not of it, is necessary if we are to be a light to those who are in spiritual darkness. We are to live in such a way that those outside the faith see our good deeds and our manner and know that there is something “different” about us. Christians who make every effort to live, think and act like those who do not know Christ do Him a great disservice. Even the heathen knows that “by their fruits you shall know them,” and as Christians, we should exhibit the fruit of the Spirit within us.
Being “in” the world also means we can enjoy the things of the world, such as the beautiful creation God has given us, but we are not to immerse ourselves in what the world values, nor are we to chase after worldly pleasures. Pleasure is no longer our calling in life, as it once was, but rather the worship of God.[1]
In 1983, I realized that I was a lost sinner. I realized that if I died at that moment, that I would go to hell. I wanted to go to heaven when I died. Some Christians I had met told me all about Jesus and how He died for me. That night was the most amazing night of my entire life. God loved me! He wanted me to be in His family. How glorious is that? He forgave me of all of my sins. I realized that Jesus’ death on the Cross was payment for all sin – for whosoever would believe on Him and place their trust in Him.
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved” (John 3:16-17).
Back to my warning to you if you are of the world; if you have never heard the Gospel of Jesus Christ, you can never say that again. You are reading it now. God does love you so much. He wants you to be in His family. Up till now, you have rejected Him. Only you know why you have not wanted to be part of God’s family. Perhaps you think that you will lose friends and even family.
I lost family. You see, I was brought up in a Jewish home. Most of my family has rejected me. My sisters have not spoken to me for almost 20 years. Here is what Jesus says about that:
“Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division: For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three. The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law” (Luke 12:51-53).
Time is short. The Bible has hundreds of prophecies – many of which have already been fulfilled. But the prophecies in Revelation, Daniel and other places in the Word have yet to be fulfilled.
There is a time coming called the Tribulation. The Bible says that the horrific things that will happen in the world have never happened before, and will never happen again. The Church (of which I am a part) will be taken to heaven by Jesus Himself and then the Tribulation will begin.
God destroyed the earth with a flood, except for Noah and his family. The account of this is in the Old Testament. God said that the thoughts of men and women were only evil continually, and that He was sorry that he had created them. The human race had rejected their maker – the Lord. God is not responsible for all of the horrific things that happen on this earth. The Garden of Eden was perfection. There was no sin there. Adam and Eve walked with God and talked with Him. Everything was just as God wanted it to be.
But God created Adam and Eve in His image and He gave them free will to choose good or evil. Eve was deceived by Satan and Adam sinned willfully. Since that time this earth has been in chaos. Tribulation is when God’s wrath will be poured out on all flesh for their sin and disobedience.
A man the Bible calls “Antichrist” will fool the world and many will worship him. They will receive his “mark” which shows that their allegiance will be to the Beast (Antichrist). The church will be gone (in heaven) as will children. If you are left behind, you will suffer great affliction. The Bible says that people will want to die and will not be able to die.
After the tribulation begins, many will realize that they missed the truth – that Jesus Christ is really God, and that He is the Savior of the world. Those people will give their hearts to Jesus. They will be persecuted and slaughtered by the Antichrist for not worshiping him. After they are martyred, Jesus will receive them into His kingdom. This period of time will be the worst time ever seen on earth.
Do you want to be here during this time? You do not have to be here. You can stop right now – wherever you are and confess that you agree that you are a sinner to God, and repent of those sins. You can tell God that you want Him to be your Savior and that you trust Him for your Salvation.
How to be saved:
http://grandmageri422.me/2015/04/08/how-can-i-be-saved/
Do NOT believe that there are many ways to God. There is ONE way:
“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” (John 14:6).
There is no reincarnation. That is a lie from the devil. There is no Chrislam; also a lie from the evil one.
“And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment” (Hebrews 9: 27).
I hope and pray that many who are of this world will take to heart the things I have said in this piece. Where you spend eternity will depend on whether you accept Jesus into your heart or reject Him.
His love for you knows no bounds, and He is waiting for you with open arms. No matter what you have done in this life, He is waiting to make you into a new person. I pray that you will open your heart to Him.
Blessings in Jesus
MARANATHA!

Great post OP. I agree with most of it, but would make a small correction to what GU wrote. I do believe that God truly offered Adam and Eve the choice to live BY FAITH vs. being in unbelief. Whereas it was Satan who offered them the choice to know good and evil.
The just or justified must live by faith (every word spoken out of the mouth of God).
For without Faith it is impossible to please him (God).
Therefore, we walk by faith and not by sight.
Remember Eve SAW that the fruit was good for food to make one wise.
Experience the arguments….. ” SOME CHRISTIAN STUFF FOR YOUR BRIEF STAY ON PLANET EARTH complete” Amazon The book with 666 decoded in 9 languages 5 alphabets all the same what are the odds? ..Argue with yourself.. here? our choices?…this world? … versus God’s Truth….choose
Faiths Father ~ Ha! Thrift Safe
as a believer one should remember this, do not alter the words of god, for you were all warned and told not.
as jesus saith to him……
I AM the way
no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” and me in true scripture is “Me” meaning name!!!!!
I am, that i am, what i am, Me that which is that that flows through the All, equal to that which is the All
All, mighty God who are truth in heaven
Her, Me, Sun, truth is Me as God is to us
Jesus teaches how to recognize the ONE coming… just as all scriptures do, anyone that stands as them, Allah Buddha, Krishna, Christ, etc will be a liar
15″I do not ask You to take them out of the world, but to keep them from the evil one. 16″They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 17″Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth.…
in this statement Jesus is asking of god to be kind and compassionate, as they no not what they do, and to help you…..as Gods word is true and his word is law!!!!! one word that says a lot!!!!
meaning he is not of this world, this world being a lower plain, but from a higher plain, so the prophets teach you how to recognize the one coming and the truth of his heart, but you all honor prophets as God!!! you bow to idols and pray to them, so if the real god sees you praying to a statue will he save you?????
the prophets teach how to recognize the footsteps of God as he walks upon the world, the 144,000 being first fruits of God, the ones faithful to him, do you see a 144,000 prophets in the bible????? being the king, everything that is to his disliking will automatically be corrected as he walks about, your either a part of it or your not, in which case you will soon not be here as its been ruled all those good for naught shall hence be gone!!!!!
so you all are either going to participate in the building of heaven on earth and redeem yourself!!!! or your going to stick your finger up and stand your ground in which case…there will be hell to pay in a day, and all those good for naught shall be gone and the city gets built anyways
then you say “There is no reincarnation”….really???? so why are you expecting Jesus then???? and why we at it how did Jesus rise if you cannot be reincarnated???? and seeing that you are 4 years into tribulation why then are you still here????? hmmmm????
you can answer the call of god and change your ways while you are alive and set about the tasks because when you dead and he asks to late then, because you are dead and cannot change hence a pit it will be instead
all you people need to read your books and go in search of God, instead of reading one piece and think you know it all, you need to stop watching movies and reading idiots that say, as all those of God have credentials that prove who they are, beyond doubt
Walking ~ Law King
You can not make humans to be voluntary slaves unless you brainwash them to believe they are guilty and need to be saved. Once you succeed at this step, next is easy just tell them how to be saved and get blessings over and over by blind obedience. Teach them repeatedly, don’t ask questions just do what god tells you to do. Tell them not to challenge the authority of god. Then you play the game as if you are the servicer of God in behalf of his mission. Then you are on the track. You can now control these gullible humans under your spell. They will pay you whatever you ask them to pay to be saved and get the blessing.
Make sure to wear fancy exotic outfits and speak unintelligible nonsenses to convince those gullibles that you are truly the servicer of the god. Now take a second look at all the writings in the bible like the story of Job specifically. Job could have been cleaned by drinking a glass of colloidal silver in the modern medicine apart from all those ordeal he had to go through. Ignorance is what these god preaching parasites are targeting. Be awakened!!!! Learn everything you can. And be free!!!! Stay away from Torah and Talmudic script.
Altertnatively OH MURICASEEKER we could just hang the peasant mob rule trash trying to include us with everyone else wanting to bomb all the worlds children
Any who believe that Jesus Christ is really God, and that He is the Savior of the world are sadly mistaken. This is really important folks! If you worship a god who is actually entirely different than the one true God, Yahweh Elohim, relying on some persona that is based on this or similar inaccuracy you are guilty of idolatry or spiritual adultery. In this instance we must remember that the physical Christ has both a beginning at birth and an end upon his crucifixion. God has neither a beginning or an end. He is the alpha and omega.
According to scripture Jesus was the first of many to be raised from the dead. Act 26:23 “That the Christ would go through pain, and being the first to come back from the dead, would give light to the people and to the Gentiles.” 1 Cor 15:20 “But now Christ has truly come back from the dead, the first- fruits of those who are sleeping. For as by man came death, so by man there is a coming back from the dead. For as in Adam death comes to all, so in Christ will all come back to life. But every man in his right order.” Col 1:18 And he is the head of the body, the church:the starting point of all things, the first to come again from the dead; so that in all things he might have the chief place.”
Without question Jesus Christ had to be resurrected by God or truth is he would have returned to the ground like every other human being. Christ was a human being who lived in reflection of his Father. He was a perfect and unblemished human specimen. Although possessing the mind, purpose and will of his Heavenly Father Jesus upon his death did not have the power or more importantly the authority to raise himself. He, of course now setting at the right hand of God Almighty where he has been delegated all power and authority, but clearly, if you read scripture, the Father and Son are defined as two very unique and separate entities.
Christ like us happens to be God’s procreation. God created him with a purpose. He plays an intricate part in God’s plan paving the way for many to follow. God so loved us that he sacrificed His perfect Son making Jesus our eternal Passover sacrifice. Through his blood the Levitical requirement for animal sacrifice and having someone else petition God for forgiveness in our behalf ended. We now through Christ have direct access to our Father, he being our advocate and high priest under the order of Melchisedeck. We can personally ask God through Jesus Christ for His forgiveness skipping the middleman.
Be cautious about accepting false depictions of God or His Son, it is only through them that repentance is truly possible. After such a long wait in line you don’t want to get to the ticket booth with a counterfeit ticket.

Dude you’re writing an bible not a comment
Thank you for your contribution. Better you attack the length of my comment than the merit of its content. I honestly tried to condense my point as much as I could. Sorry my effort in that regard didn’t meet your approval.
JMO
Funny you should say that, JMO, because when the merit of your commentary content is attacked you have nothing to say for yourself, hmm.
JMO says…
“Any who believe that Jesus Christ is really God … are sadly mistaken.” “Christ has both a beginning at birth and an end upon his crucifixion. God has neither a beginning or an end. He is the alpha and omega.
… and Jesus said…
I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End. Rev 22:13
Mayhem,
I’d say that is an excellent attack on JMOs content.
John
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
What you said: “Any who believe that Jesus Christ is really God, and that He is the Savior of the world are sadly mistaken.”
What the Bible says: “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.”
Acts 4:12
What you said: “Jesus upon his death did not have the power or more importantly the authority to raise himself.”
What the Bible says: “No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.”
John 10:18
What you said: ” if you read scripture, the Father and Son are defined as two very unique and separate entities.”
What the Bible says: “I and my Father are one.” John 10:30
What you said: “Be cautious about accepting false depictions of God or His Son.”
What Clint Eastwood said: “Opinions are like arseholes, everybody has one…”
You sir, are a liar “if you read scripture”. Not just my opinion
Hear hear
slam dunk.
Second.
I could continue, like when Christ said “Before Abraham was, I AM”, but I think I’ve made my point.
That’s a step too far, in my opinion, and you could have accepted the compliment and been happy with it because, after all, the message we bring is not our own.
True, I stand corrected. Sometimes I get a bit carried away.
Neo,
You Love The Lord. No apologies necessary.
KJV no jesus put no one between you and me.Do you know how many
jesus died on this planet for the people ,do you even care there are
many jesus on earth.Your problem you want one that belongs to
your church roman catholic why is that monkey breath.
peace and love

Complete rubbish. Leave these iron-age fairy tales behind and grow up.
Its not an article its an short story.
Why do all of us christians still have to play by satans rules then.
Stopped reading after:
“I belong to Jesus Christ. I am in the world, but not of it.”
I belong to no one. I am part of the Force. I am one with the Universe and its Energy.
Everything else is propaganda indoctrination master-slave system.
So, let me get this straight. We know what is up= ask an astronaut or astro-physicist. We know what is down= ask a geologist. Therefore any man made heaven and hell could only exist in a parallel universe- that we cannot see, and you will not be able to see- when you are dead and your eyes no longer work. So who created this parallel universe- that you cannot see now, and certainly won’t be able to- when you have no eyes. But the fictional soul- is an exact ‘fully functioning’ replica of you that totally functions just like now- sight, smell, sound and taste- but you are totally dead and void of any blood, heart and body, etc.
Now the Only officially approved way to get to this heaven- in this parallel universe, is if you believe that a jew from a tiny town called nazareth is the literally son of the gold of israel -(Exodus 34:23 Thrice in the year shall all your men-children appear before the Lord GOD, the God of Israel.)
But the jews are the ‘god of israel’s ‘chosen people’ (Deuteronomy 7:6 For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.)
So, this ‘only son’ of the god of israel is a jew named jesus- and he is supposed to be the only way to a parallel universe called ‘heaven’ because he is the world’s saviour- but none of his fellow jews- believed him 2,000 years ago- and they certainly donot believe that jesus is the ‘son of the god of israel’ today.
But the hebrew book of stories says that EVERYONE that does not believe in the jew jesus will be going to another parallel universe- when they are totally dead without any function or any body- including eyes, and a brain that is DEAD because there is no blood circulating through it any longer- but somehow it still works- but it doesn’t require blood circulation or a skull to contain it any longer.
So, this hebrew book of stories wants you to believe that all of the god of israel’s CHOSEN PEOPLE- the Jews- are ALL GOING TO GO to this parallel universe when they are dead- called Hell, because they did not then -nor they do now believe that their fellow jew from nazareth named jesus is the only son and world’s saviour of the god of israel.
Something is WRONG HERE. You are supposed to believe- blindly (faith) that ALL OF GODS CHOSEN PEOPLE ARE GOING TO HELL (a parallel) universe- just because, they do not believe that is jesus is the only son of their same god- the God of Israel. So, the god of israel says- “You the jews are my chosen people- and you are all going to hell ( parallel universe that is very hot 2/7 but you won’t have a ‘body’) because NONE OF YOU my chosen people believe this one jew- Your fellow Jew- is my son and your ‘saviour’. Do the jews know about this????? You need Lisa Haven’s cowgurl boots on to believe this bunch of donkey scat. That is all.

Your post Jewishness is showing pharisees.org / Pix / Doggoneit Lyle / Shambolicks
All of the Jews are going to Hell with you because it was the belief of the chosen people’ of the first Adam – the Saduccees that they were all going to Hell / Hades when they died. Only those who believe in the Second Adam – the Messiah WHO BY DEFINITION IS ONE MAN (your corporate master race fetishes be damned) will be redeemed by him.
Get off my case. I’m entitled to my opinion and I’m certain I’m more of a compassionate and trustworthy person than YOU’LL ever BE.
Thanks – reading this made me feel so much better. We need each other. I studied the Bible for the 20 years and its the only valued possession I have in life. No one can take it from me, but they can break my vessel.
Here i will break your vessel for you.
How to debunk the bible in one run-on sentence.
So, the Hebrew/jew writers of the Hebrew/jew bible want you to believe that all of the god of israel’s
chosen people- the hebrew/jews are going to ‘hell’ because they do not believe in one hebrew/jew named jesus.
yeah, right.
You are dreaming of your sadducee Popes. Who accepted that they were going to Hell.
You are oblivious to Judaism. A Messianic faith come from Christianities roots.
