SIN IN TOW ENTICED BY YOUR OWN CRAVINGS. . .
“Let no man be saying when he is being solicited to sin, By God I am being solicited to sin, for God is incapable of being solicited to sin, the source of the solicitations being evils, [such as soliciting man to sin], and He himself solicits no one to sin. But each one is being solicited to sin when he is taken in tow and enticed by his own craving. Then when the aforementioned craving has conceived, it gives birth to sin, and this sin when it is full grown brings forth death.” (James 1:13-14)(Bold added)(Italics added)
WHAT DOES DIE [DEATH] MEAN TO GOD? . . .

HOW CAN THE FRUIT OF A TREE BE SYNONYMOUS TO LITTLE ONE’S? . . .
“I will establish your seed forever
And build up your throne to all generations.”
(Psalms 89:4)(Bold added)(Italics added)
“YOUR SEED” IN PSALMS 89 v. 4, IS THAT OF JESUS. . . (Psalms 89:4)
YOU SAY, “HOW CAN THAT BE?”. . . HOW CAN JESUS’ SEED BE ESTABLISHED FOREVER WHEN JESUS DOESN’T HAVE ANY CHILDREN?
THE ANSWER TO THIS MYSTERY BEGINS WITH THE GENEALOGY OF JESUS IN MATTHEW 1, vv. 1 THROUGH 17 AS FOLLOWS . . .
“This is the genealogy of Jesus the Messiah the son of David, the son of Abraham:
Abraham was the father of Isaac,
Isaac the father of Jacob,
Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers,
Judah the father of Perez and Zerah, whose mother was Tamar,
Perez the father of Hezron,
Hezron the father of Ram,
Ram the father of Amminadab,
Amminadab the father of Nahshon,
Nahshon the father of Salmon,
Salmon the father of Boaz, whose mother was Rahab,
Boaz the father of Obed, whose mother was Ruth,
Obed the father of Jesse,
and Jesse the father of King David.
David was the father of Solomon, whose mother had been Uriah’s wife,
Solomon the father of Rehoboam,
Rehoboam the father of Abijah,
Abijah the father of Asa,
Asa the father of Jehoshaphat,
Jehoshaphat the father of Jehoram,
Jehoram the father of Uzziah,
Uzziah the father of Jotham,
Jotham the father of Ahaz,
Ahaz the father of Hezekiah,
Hezekiah the father of Manasseh,
Manasseh the father of Amon,
Amon the father of Josiah,
and Josiah the father of Jeconiah and his brothers at the time of the exile to Babylon.
After the exile to Babylon:
Jeconiah was the father of Shealtiel,
Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel,
Zerubbabel the father of Abihud,
Abihud the father of Eliakim,
Eliakim the father of Azor,
Azor the father of Zadok,
Zadok the father of Akim,
Akim the father of Elihud,
Elihud the father of Eleazar,
Eleazar the father of Matthan,
Matthan the father of Jacob,
and Jacob the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, and Mary was the mother of Jesus who is called the Messiah.
Thus there were fourteen generations in all from Abraham to David, fourteen from David to the exile to Babylon, and fourteen from the exile to the Messiah.” (Matthew 1:1-17)(Bold added)(Italics added)
DID YOU NOTE FROM THAT SCRIPTURE ABOVE THAT “JESSE” WAS THE FATHER OF KING DAVID, WHICH ESTABLISHES THE THRONE MENTIONED IN PSALM 89:4?
“I will establish your seed forever
And build up your throne to all generations.”(Psalms 89:4)(Bold added)(Italics added)
DID YOU ALSO NOTE THAT THE GENEALOGY BEGAN WITH “JESUS THE MESSIAH THE SON OF DAVID?”
“This is the genealogy of Jesus the Messiah the son of David, the son of Abraham. . .”(Matthew 1:1)(Bold added)(Italics added)
FINALLY, AT THE VERY BOTTOM OF THE GENEALOGY, IT INTRODUCES JOSEPH, (THE HUSBAND OF MARY) JESUS’ THE MESSIAH’S MOTHER.
“Joseph, the husband of Mary, and Mary was the mother of Jesus who is called the Messiah.””(Matthew 1:16)(Bold added)(Caps added)(Italics added)
NOW THAT YOU KNOW JESUS’ GENEALOGY, YOU’RE EVEN MORE CONFUSED HOW THE FRUIT OF A TREE CAN BE SYNONYMOUS TO LITTLE ONE’S? . . . THE ANSWER BEGINS WITH ISAIAH 11 v. 1 . . .

SO WHEN YOU SEE . . .
“I will establish your seed forever
And build up your throne to all generations.”(Psalms 89:4)(Bold added)(Italics added)
YOU NOW UNDERSTAND THAT SCRIPTURE SUPPORTS SCRIPTURE; THE OLD TESTAMENT SUPPORTS THE NEW TESTAMENT. PSALMS 89 v. 4 SUPPORTS REVELATIONS 22 v. 6, EXPOSING JESUS AS THE ROOT AND THE DESCENDANT OF DAVID, (SIMULTANEOUSLY).
“I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things for the churches. I am the root and the descendant of David, the bright morning star.” (Revelation 22:16). (Bold added)
NOW YOU SHOULD ALSO KNOW HOW THE FRUIT OF A TREE CAN BE SYNONYMOUS TO LITTLE ONE’S BASED ON THE SCRIPTURE ISAIAH 11 v. 1, THE NEW AMERICAN STANDARD BIBLE TRANSLATION.
Then a shoot will spring from the stem of Jesse, And a branch from his roots will bear fruit.” (Isa 11:1, NASB) (Bold added)(Italics added)
YOU NOW KNOW THAT A CHILD ORIGINATES FROM A MALE SEED FERTILIZING A FEMALE’S EGG WHICH YIELDS THE FRUIT OF A WOMEN’S WOMB.
“When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. And she cried out with a loud voice and said, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb! And how has it happened to me, that the mother of my Lord would come to me?”(Luke 1:41-43)
THE FRUIT OF THE WOMB IS A REWARD FROM GOD . . .
“Behold, children are a gift of the LORD,
The fruit of the womb is a reward.
Like arrows in the hand of a warrior,
So are the children of one’s youth.
How blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them;
They will not be ashamed
When they speak with their enemies in the gate.”(Psa 127:3-5) (Bold added)(Italics added)
WHAT DOES ALL OF THIS MEAN? . . .
MATTHEW 18 v. 5 HAS THE SAME CONTEXT AS MATTHEW 25:34-40 . . .
“I AM SAYING TO YOU, IN SO FAR AS YOU DID THIS TO ONE OF THESE MY BRETHREN, TO THE LEAST, TO ME YOU DID IT.”(Matthew 25:34-40) (Bold added)(Caps added)(Italics added)
“Then shall the King say to those on His right hand, Come, my Father’s blessed ones. Inherit the kingdom which has been prepared for you from the foundation of the universe; for I was hungry and you gave me to eat, I was thirsty, and you gave me to drink, I was a stranger and you received me hospitably, naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, in prison I was and you came to me. Then the righteous ones shall answer Him, saying, Lord, when did we see you hungering and feed you, or thirsting and give you drink? And when did we see you a stranger and hospitably received you, or naked, and clothed you? And when did we see you sick or in prison and we came to you? And answering, the King shall say to them, Assuredly, I am saying to you, in so far as you did this to one of these my brethren, to the least, to me you did it.”(Matthew 25:34-40)
“BUT HE WHO JOINS HIMSELF TO THE LORD IS ONE SPIRIT [WITH HIM].” (1 CORINTHIANS 6:13c – 20) (Bold added)(Caps added)(Italics added)
“But the body is not for fornication but for the Lord, and the Lord is for the body. And God raised up the Lord and will also raise us up through His power. Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Having taken then the members of Christ, shall I make them members of a harlot? Let not such a thing take place. Or, do you not know that he who joins himself with his harlot is one body [with her]? For they shall become, He says, these two, one flesh. But he who joins himself to the Lord is one spirit [with Him]. Be fleeing from fornication. Every act of sin which a man may do is outside of his body, but he who commits a fornication is sinning against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is an inner sanctuary of the Holy Spirit,whom you have from God, and that you are not your own? For you were purchased at a price. Now therefore, glorify God in your body.” (1 Corinthians 6:13c – 20) (Bold added)(Italics added)
WHEN YOU RAPE OR HAVE SEX WITH THESE LITTLE ONES, YOU RAPE AND HAVE SEX WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT . . . (Bold added)(Italics added)

“It’s karma,’ says alleged victim of former N.J. priest found shot to death in Nevada” by Kelly Heyboer, NJ Advance Media for NJ.com, 03/12/2019
“[John] Capparelli was one of 188 priests and deacons in the state who had been “credibly accused” of child sexual abuse, according to a list released by New Jersey’s five Catholic dioceses last month. But the allegations against him were well known . . . accused of groping, photographing and brutalizing young boys, often asking them to wrestle in tight swimwear. He was also linked to a fetish website he allegedly ran. He was removed from ministry in 1992 and eventually defrocked by the Catholic Church.”
“Rich Fitter wasn’t sure how he was supposed to feel when his phone started lighting up late Monday night with the news that the former priest he said sexually abused him and other young boys for years was dead . . .The world is a safer place without him . . . The guy had a 40-year record of abuse . . . I can’t see a change . . . I’ll be very interested to see what police find in his house . . . I don’t see that type of sociopath and predator changing.” (Bold added)
“Fitter said he is still processing the news of the death of the former priest he says haunted his dreams for decades. But, his thoughts keep returning to one explanation. . . It’s karma,” he said. “I do think there’s a certain karma.”

THEY ARE STAINS AND BLEMISHES, REVELING IN THEIR DECEPTIONS, AS THEY CAROUSE WITH YOU, HAVING EYES FULL OF ADULTERY THAT NEVER CEASE FROM SIN, ENTICING UNSTABLE SOULS, HAVING A HEART TRAINED IN GREED, ACCURSED CHILDREN; FORSAKING THE RIGHT WAY, THEY HAVE GONE ASTRAY, HAVING FOLLOWED THE WAY OF BALAAM, THE SON OF BEOR, WHO LOVED THE WAGES OF UNRIGHTEOUSNESS; BUT HE RECEIVED A REBUKE FOR HIS OWN TRANSGRESSION, FOR A MUTE DONKEY, SPEAKING WITH A VOICE OF A MAN, RESTRAINED THE MADNESS OF THE PROPHET. THESE ARE SPRINGS WITHOUT WATER AND MISTS DRIVEN BY A STORM, FOR WHOM THE BLACK DARKNESS HAS BEEN RESERVED. FOR SPEAKING OUT ARROGANT WORDS OF VANITY THEY ENTICE BY FLESHLY DESIRES, BY SENSUALITY, THOSE WHO BARELY ESCAPE FROM THE ONES WHO LIVE IN ERROR, PROMISING THEM FREEDOM WHILE THEY THEMSELVES ARE SLAVES OF CORRUPTION; FOR BY WHAT A MAN IS OVERCOME, BY THIS HE IS ENSLAVED. FOR IF, AFTER THEY HAVE ESCAPED THE DEFILEMENTS OF THE WORLD BY THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST, THEY ARE AGAIN ENTANGLED IN THEM AND ARE OVERCOME, THE LAST STATE HAS BECOME WORSE FOR THEM THAN THE FIRST. FOR IT WOULD BE BETTER FOR THEM NOT TO HAVE KNOWN THE WAY OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, THAN HAVING KNOWN IT, TO TURN AWAY FROM THE HOLY COMMANDMENT HANDED ON TO THEM. IT HAS HAPPENED TO THEM ACCORDING TO THE TRUE PROVERB, “A DOG RETURNS TO ITS OWN VOMIT,” AND, “A SOW AFTER WASHING, RETURNS TO WALLOWING IN THE MIRE.” (2 PETER 2:4 – 22) (BOLD ADDED)(CAPS ADDED)(ITALICS ADDED)
“IF THERE IS A MAN WHO LIES WITH A MALE AS THOSE WHO LIE WITH A WOMAN, BOTH OF THEM HAVE COMMITTED A DETESTABLE ACT; THEY SHALL SURELY BE PUT TO DEATH. THEIR BLOOD GUILTINESS IS UPON THEN.” (LEVITICUS 20:13)(BOLD ADDED)(CAPS ADDED)

“AND IF BY THESE THINGS YOU ARE NOT TURNED TO ME, BUT ACT HOSTILITY AGAINST ME, THEN I WILL ACT WITH HOSTILITY AGAINST YOU; AND I, EVEN I, WILL STRIKE YOU SEVEN TIMES FOR YOUR SINS.” (LEVITICUS 26:23-24)
IF YOU ARE A RAPIST, IF YOU ARE REPRESENTING CHRIST AND HAVE RAPED, MOLESTED, COMMITTED ADULTERY, INVOLVED IN HOMOSEXUALITY, AND HARMING LITTLE ONES, COMPLETING A “NINTH STEP” AND MAKING AMENDS TO THE PEOPLE YOU HAVE VIOLATED, IT WILL INJURE YOU AND THEM!.
DO NOT BE DECEIVED, GOD IS NOT MOCKED; FOR WHATEVER A MAN SOWS, THIS HE WILL ALSO REAP. (GAL 6:7)
BECAUSE OF YOUR SINS, AT THIS VERY MOMENT, THE MEN ARE WAITING AT THE DOOR TO CARRY YOU OUT!!!! . . . WHY NOT TURN FROM YOUR SINS? EVEN THE THEIF ON THE CROSS ENTERED INTO HEAVEN BECAUSE HE CONFESSED HIS SINS ON THE CROSS! IF YOU SAY YOU HAVE NO SINS, YOU MAKE GOD TO BE A LIE!
IF YOU HAVE CONFESSED YOUR SINS AND YOU ARE READY TO TURN FROM YOUR SINS, REPEAT AFTER ME . . .
FATHER, PLEASE FORGIVE ME ONCE AND FOR ALL! DO NOT ALLOW ME TO CONTINUE IN SIN! I REALIZE BECAUSE OF YOUR WORD, I DESERVE DEATH! I ALSO REALIZE BECAUSE OF YOUR SON, JESUS WHO DIED, WAS BURIED AND ROSE AGAIN THAT I MIGHT HAVE LIFE EVERLASTING, BUT IT IS BECAUSE OF YOUR GRACE AND YOUR GRACE ALONE THAT I DESIRE SANCTIFICATION!
I BELIEVE YOU LORD AND I NEED YOU LORD, JESUS THE CHRIST AS MY LORD AND SAVIOR! I WANT YOU AT THIS VERY MOMENT TO COME INTO MY LIFE. BE PRESENT IN MY HEART, MIND AND SPIRIT AND DELIVER ME ONCE AND FOR ALL FROM MY SINFUL WAYS. . . PLEASE LORD! . . . I LOVE YOU LORD! . . . IN YOUR MATCHLESS AND MIGHTY NAME I PRAY! . . . AMEN!
