The Night Is Far Spent “The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.” Romans 13:12. MEANING OF CARNAL adjective pertaining to or characterized by the flesh or the body, its passions and appetites; sensual: carnal pleasures. not spiritual; merely human; temporal; worldly: a man of secular, rather carnal, leanings. Reference Source: https://www.dictionary.com/browse/carnal CHAPTER THREE Christian Carnality & A Tidbit Of Thought Christian Carnality: “For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.” Romans 8:6. True believers in the Gospel Message of Jesus Christ should naturally want to work for the Lord. True believers should naturally want to live a holy lifestyle that is pleasing to the Almighty God. Sadly some Christians enter a stage of carnality. Backsliding is indeed deadly to a genuine believer spiritually. For one, I can attest to the fact that I had lived in a phase of carnality for a very long time. This doctrine, although biblical, is not how a genuine Christian man or woman should live. A backsliding Christian should, eventually, repent and turn from their sins. The Holy Scriptures teach us that a true believer in Jesus Christ should bear fruit. This fruit indicates one’s conversion. However, a truly converted Christian can backslide and show virtually no fruits for periods that can last a long time. WARNING TO FAULS BELIEVERS This “carnality doctrine” is NOT speaking to those who haven’t sincerely been SAVED by God’s merciful grace. I would dare say that many individuals claiming to be Christians but living in carnality...

The Night Is Far Spent “The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.” Romans 13:12. CHAPTER TWO Depravity of Man, Righteousness Of God, & A Tidbit Of Thought Depravity of Man: The depravity of humanity shows us that a Divine God exists. Shortly after humankind was “created” by God’s existence, our fallen nature has been waging war against the Creator due to Adam and Eve’s sin against the Almighty. The Book of Genesis backs up the teaching that humanity has ever since been waging war against our beloved Creator. “And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.” Genesis 2:16-17. During man’s first recorded history of our existence, God put Adam and Eve in a perfect utopia. The environment designed in Eden would be in continuous harmony with nature, and all living species, small and large, weak and strong, lived in absolute peace. Jehovah only had one established rule. This rule was simple. “But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.” (17). Before the rebellion started by Adam and Eve, all life served the Lord in absolute harmony, as all life could see God’s love by His willingness to create life on Earth....

TITLE: THE NIGHT IS FAR SPENT ARTICLE: VOLUME ONE “The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.” Romans 13:12. INTRODUCTION: If an individual truly loves someone, they will desire not to want to hurt them. This love can only be sincere by individuals willing to speak the truth to build a lasting friendship. If such individuals are eager, to tell the truth, it is possible to desire a genuine friendship with such a company. Therefore, let’s talk about truth and not deceit, as this article seeks friendship with those who desperately need truth. I pray that whoever is reading this article (Article One) is willing to consider the contexts herein. This article will inform readers of one purpose. That purpose is to provide ABSOLUTE TRUTH. The truth one needs is to be given is the Gospel Message of Jesus Christ. The day is at hand; many will perish, simply because “THEY” who refused to listen with open ears will spend an eternity in God’s judgment for refusing to submit to God’s teachings, which He gave to humanity generations ago. The Holy Scriptures, the Bible, is indeed the ABSOLUTE TRUTH provided to humanity to understand how the beginning started (Genesis) and how humankind’s ending will play out in the final days (Revelation). CHAPTER ONE Earth, Space, Reproductive Systems, Man’s Increased Knowledge, & A Tidbit Of Thought Many so-called modern-day skeptics of Christianity claim to have a so-called vast knowledge of how life’s origins started. These same skeptics refuse even to...
