1 This is what the born again Christian is calling God when they say they are unworthy or declare that they are a Sinner Brendan Mc Crossan

2 .God you re a liar! This is what the born again Christian is calling God when they say they are unworthy or declare that they are a Sinner Brendan Mc Crossan

3 God you re a liar! Brendan Mc Crossan , One I can t be holy like you Did you know this is what you call God every time you say you are unworthy or a sinner, and not what God declares you to be? Just because you don t feel holy does not mean that you are not holy, God made you holy not you, you had absolutely nothing to do with it. It is an insult to God every time a Christian calls them unworthy, or a sinner, or no good, worthless. God makes me go over this many times in my little books because people still refuse to believe that they are holy like God just because God not themselves made them that way, it has nothing to do with what they do or say or how holy they think they are because they re trying to be good, they are holy because God said it before they could ever do or say or think anything it was done from before time began, so how could you have done anything to deserve being called holy. Ephesians-1-4- For he chose us in him long before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight, without a single fault. In love 5 he predestined us for adoption to sonshipthrough Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will 6 to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. 7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God s grace. {The Way Bible} God wants you to confess, {to say} that you are holy without a single fault, and blameless, because that is what he done for us before the creation of the world, remember this was before he even made the world we live in, and when you as a child of God say I am unworthy, a sinner, unholy worthless, no use, then you are insulting God and calling him a liar. Yes my friend you have the audacity to call the Holy God who made you a liar, because of religion that said you were unworthy, or a sinner. God does not want you confessing {saying to others} Oh I am a terrible sinner, I am so unworthy, I am unworthy to be worthy, I m to bad a person to be called holy God is a liar, that is what you are calling God and I wouldn t dare to even allow those thoughts into my head because I know Satan is the one who is planting them there to make me feel useless and dirty, unholy, and he throws up the last batch of sins I committed to prove he is right. Your sin does not stop you from being holy nothing stops you from being holy if you are a born again child of God, your holiness has nothing to do with what you do, or you could earn it and you can t earn something that has been given to you from before the creation of the world. You have to begin to think like God wants you to think and not as Satan has you thinking, it is time to repent for calling God a liar. Mans religious teachings have called you a sinner or unworthy or unholy, Man influenced by Satan because those religious men were constantly sinning in terrible ways and they refused to repent and change their ways and so Satan allowed them to influence the children of God

4 through their religious teachings, I committed a sin therefore I am a sinner, and unworthy to stand before God. God does not think like man or think like Satan thinks because Satan s thinking is for the destruction of God elect, his children which he chose and predestined to be holy like himself. Let s go to Genesis 1. Genesis 1-26-Then God said, Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, [a] and over all the creatures that move along the ground. 27 So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. {NIV Bible} When you say that you re a sinner or unholy and say that you are not holy you are saying in effect that God was not holy, you are saying he was a disgusting sinful an unworthy God. Come on this is the truth because you contradict what God says. God says he made me the same as Jesus. Are you trying to say that you re like Jesus you may be saying? I ask you do you believe that you re equal to Jesus. If you believe that no way I am like Jesus you are calling God a liar. Because he said he made you like his son Jesus; Romans For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. 30 And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified. {NIV Bible} This next scripture is the same scripture but taken from the Amplified Bible, which explains in greater detail and meaning of the words therein. Romans-8-29-For those whom He foreknew [of whom He was aware and loved beforehand], He also destined from the beginning [foreordaining them] to be moulded into the image of His Son [and share inwardly His likeness], that He might become the firstborn among many brethren. 30 And those whom He thus foreordained, He also called; and those whom He called, He also justified (acquitted, made righteous, putting them into right standing with Himself). And those whom He justified, He also glorified [raising them to a heavenly dignity and condition or state of being]. {Amplified Bible} God is aware of you; He foreknew [of whom He was aware and loved beforehand], God knew what he was doing when he made you, remember he was the one who made you from before the beginning of time itself. So who decided to mould you into the image of his son? Who is saying these words to you, me? No! It is God himself through his word. Do you now believe him or is he still a liar as far as you re concerned, this just couldn t be true so I don t believe it. I don t believe what God is saying to me right now. Did you know right now is the only moment that you have on this earth? Wouldn t it be so sad if you were to die right now after reading this truth from God s own word and you still didn t believe him, you could then

5 call him a liar to his face if you dared? The fact is that you are calling God a liar to his face because scripture says his face is set towards you, you are forever before him, so you can call him a liar right now and refuse to believe, you can chose to believe the thief who comes to steal kill and destroy, the liar and father of liars as scripture calls him. Man s religious beliefs in a God have destroyed the word of God Almighty, for many. Those whom He foreknew [of whom He was aware and loved beforehand], He also destined from the beginning [foreordaining them] to be moulded into the image of His Son These are those words from the previous scripture speaking plainly to you, he foreknew you, and he knew you before hand in other words, He also destined, when? It was from the beginning, to be moulded into the image of his Son Jesus. The word moulded means a frame or bowl, to create a distinctive type of character, to make the same image over and over again. Like ornaments are moulded from the same mould, and they turn out exactly the same, each may be painted a different colour but underneath they are exactly the same, they are the same shape and size, and contours, the same pattern was used to make the new objects, thereby the mould is used over and over again and again, producing the same thing regularly, exactly the same. God used Jesus as his mould for mankind, and we all are moulded into the image of his divine Son. Did you know in fact that God used the same substance that he formed Jesus out of? Two Accepting the testimony of men rather than God s word s 1-John-5-9-If we accept [as we do] the testimony of men [if we are willing to take human authority], the testimony of God is greater (of stronger authority), for this is the testimony of God, even the witness which He has borne regarding His Son. He who believes in the Son of God [who adheres to, trusts in, and relies on Him] has the testimony [possesses this divine attestation] within himself. He who does not believe God [in this way] has made Him out to be and represented Him as a liar ; because he has not believed (put his faith in, adhered to, and relied on) the evidence (the testimony) that God has borne regarding His Son. 11 And this is that testimony (that evidence): God gave us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. 12 He who possesses the Son has that life; he who does not possess the Son of God does not have that life. {Amplified Bible} No matter what I say, I am sharing a testimony of a man, but when I say what the word of God says then I am testifying with God s testimony, {Evidence, proof} God s testimony says that you are holy, not a sinner or unworthy, and who do most Christians believe, they believe the testimony of man s religion, and religion is from man, Jesus came to give a way of life, religion is a set of rules and regulations laid down by man; and the word of God has been perverted by religious men who didn t believe that they were holy but sinners and unworthy. And then they passed this information on to you and I in churches of all denominations, religion has murdered people throughout the ages, people have killed others to convert

6 them into their religion, and this was never the will of God, because conversion comes by love and acceptance that God is Father and Jesus is brother and you are loved unconditionally. Testimony, means the proof, evidence, demonstration, witness, statement, declaration, authentication, verification, substantiation, validation certification, endorsement, of the word of God, When God says in his word the testimony of God is greater (of stronger authority), for this is the testimony of God. Then it is about time that we the Christian believed him and refused to believe the lies of the Father of liars, the devil. God himself says quite clearly in his word in the previous scripture that by refusing to believe his word you are calling him a liar, and how dare any man call God a liar. God says Satan the devil is the one who is a liar, yet we believe Satan s lies about the word of God. If you continue to call yourself a sinner or unworthy after knowing these bible truths then you deliberately chose to continue calling God a Liar. God s word says a sinner is going to hell, and the saint is going to heaven, and by the way the bible is addressed to the Saints; check it out for you in the books of the bible. 1 Corinthians 1-Paul summoned by the will and purpose of God to be an apostle (special messenger) of Christ Jesus, and our brother Sosthenes, 2 To the church (assembly) of God which is in Corinth, to those consecrated and purified and made holy in Christ Jesus, [who are] selected and called to be saints (God's people) {Amplified Bible} The Bible is not addressed to the unworthy or to the sinner or sinful people but to the Saints the consecrated set apart ones.

7 Colossians Paul an apostle (special messenger) of Christ Jesus (the Messiah), by the will of God, and Timothy [our] brother, 2 To the saints (the consecrated people of God) and [a] believing and faithful brethren in Christ who are at Colossae:{ Amplified Bible} The other books are written to people in the church. The Bible was created for the children of God men have created other books which are false because they are of man and are religious, some purport that they come from God and Mormons says their bible comes from an angel of light, and scripture tells us Satan can appear as a angel of light because that is what he is, and angel, nothing else and a fallen angel at that. To say your unworthy or a sinner is calling God a liar, and I think I have given you enough proof from the word of God itself to show that it is true that you are a saint that you are made in the image and likeness of God and that you are moulded into the image of Jesus Christ himself. Believe it and confess it don t believe it and you continue calling God a liar. Now you know the truth search out your own bible and see if what I wrote is true or not. Does God call you righteous, holy, his child, a Saint? Precious in his sight, a jewel in his crown, the righteousness of God, does God lives in you? Does the Holy Spirit live in you, Does Jesus live in you; I doubt that The Holy Trinity would dwell in something that was unworthy or a sinner. Amen

Are you a Sinner? Then the Bible is not for you?

Are you a Sinner? Then the Bible is not for you? Are you a Sinner? { saved by grace- washed in the blood } Then the Bible is not for you? If you claim to be a sinner saved by grace -or washed in the blood then the bible is not addressed to you. You better
