SEVEN ABSOLUTES
OUR SEVEN ABSOLUTES
1. Be like Christ in all ways, like Jesus.
“until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God, as we mature to the full measure of the stature of Christ.” (Berean Study Bible, Ephesians 4:13)
“Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into Christ Himself, who is the head.” (Berean Study Bible, Ephesians 4:15)
​
2. If you teach a different gospel than Jesus taught. You should be accursed.
“But even though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to that which we have preached to you, let him be accursed.” (New American Standard 1977, Galatians 1:8)
“I am afraid, however, that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent’s cunning, your minds may be led astray from your simple and pure devotion to Christ. For if someone comes and proclaims a Jesus other than the One we proclaimed, or if you receive a different spirit than the One you received, or a different gospel than the one you accepted, you put up with it way too easily.” (Berean Study Bible, 2 Corinthians 11:3-4)
​
3. My sheep will hear My voice and not the voice of another.
“My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.” (New Heart English Bible, John 10:27)
“I am convinced that the effect of his touch within you is permanent; this is the Christ-anointing that teaches you all things, so that you do not need any teacher whose doctrine does not resonate with truth. Deception cannot compete with spirit-resonance.” (Mirror Bible, I John 2:27)
​
4. Don't worry about what to say the Holy Spirit will fill your month when you get there.
​
“So make up your mind not to worry beforehand how to defend yourselves. For I will give you speech and wisdom that none of your adversaries will be able to resist or contradict.” (Berean Study Bible, Luke 21:14-15)
5. If You don't teach healing your not preaching the gospel.
“As you go, preach this message: ‘- The kingdom of heaven is near.’ Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give.” (Berean Study Bible, Matthew 10:7-8)
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. I don’t preach with elequent words but a demonstration of the Holy Spirit and power ” (King James Version, Romans 1:16)
​
6. If God tells you to lie cheat or steal you know it's not the real God.
“You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out his desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, refusing to uphold the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, because he is a liar and the father of lies.” (Berean Study Bible, John 8:44)
“So I tell you this, and testify to it in the Lord: You must no longer walk as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking. They are darkened in their understanding and alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardness of their hearts. Having lost all sense of shame, they have given themselves over to sensuality for the practice of every kind of impurity, with a craving for more. But this is not the way you came to know Christ. Surely you heard of Him and were taught in Him in keeping with the truth that is in Jesus. You were taught to put off your former way of life, your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be renewed in the spirit of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness. Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to his neighbor, for we are members of one another. “Be angry, yet do not sin.” Do not let the sun set upon your anger, and do not give the devil a foothold. He who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing good with his own hands, that he may have something to share with the one in need. Let no unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building up the one in need and bringing grace to those who listen. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, outcry and slander, along with every form of malice.” (Berean Study Bible, Ephesians 4:17-31)
“Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither the immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor sexual perverts, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor robbers will inherit the kingdom of God.” (1 Corinthians 6:9-10)
​
7. It’s never a carnal answer.
“How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, and how Jesus went around doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, because God was with Him.” (Berean Study Bible, Acts 10:38)
“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” (King James Bible, Ephesians 6:12)
