The Real Truth!
The REAL Religious Social Truth
(Concerning today's average church member)
First, we must consider their "the Modern Christians" (understanding)
of love.
NO love expressed towards either the (fellow church member)
or towards that one outside of the church i.e. the CARNAL citizen has any meaning
if that (love) is not totally (unconditional) without any
feelings by either party of acceptance or rejection by the one who expresses
it, or to the one it is expressed towards.
The only acceptable love
before God is His form of (agape love) of which no human being
has innately by natural birth. It is either given to them from above or they
don't have it to express at all, no matter how long they have claimed
Christianity or how long they claim to have followed Jesus' example. This is their "mistake" they have Jesus as their "example" alone without really having Him as their Savior FIRST. A Christian cannot no matter how long they have claimed Christ ever really express real love as He did, without first having Him as their SAVIOR before they claim Him as their EXAMPLE.
It does absolutely no good what-so-ever for the average church member to have Jesus as their (Example) if they do NOT "FIRST" have Him as their (Savior). There is a "difference" friend! Today, most so-called Christians that I encounter talk a good talk but their walk is polluted because they don't understand nor know how to express the love of God. Many church members speak of "Christian love" and that it should always be expressed even towards those who are rebellious and closed-minded to the truth.
(But folks that is NOT how it works! True Christian love is not concerned about the individual person on the surface but of that individual person's spiritual condition before God in the inner man/woman. That is the "goal" for every true disciple of Jesus Christ.)
If a Christian
believes that their (expressed love) towards another in the name of
Jesus is what God calls them to do, and they themselves DO NOT understand or
know what God's love is in Christ their Savior first, and to what area's it should be expressed and how it should be expressed as their interaction with another, then their love is "fake and
self-induced and tainted with selfish motives and their own personal sin", even if they themselves
don't believe it is. One cannot mimic Christ as their "example" without FIRST having Jesus Christ as their Savior before they try to express Him as their example.
Deception comes
in many forms even in "forms" of Christian love. The nominal church
member will smile, and say things like "I will pray for you"
while deep inside they (resent your stubbornness) expressed towards
their understanding of what they feel is their calling to discipleship. Any
love expressed from one towards another based on the scripture text which
doesn't exist as it appears here (love thy neighbor as thyself) which as it appears here is NOT found
in the King James Bible scripture in these exact words.) is tainted with sin even when expressed in this manner, because of the
(self) is tainted with sin when they express such a statement NOT found in scripture and that kind of love is NOT of God,
it's of man.
The phrase as it appears here is also NOT found in scripture
(do unto others as you would have them do unto you). When a Christian states either of these phrases to another person they think they are witnessing too, they are actually telling that person a lie because they themselves do not know the scripture, they only think they know.
What is found is (Thou [The Surrendered Believer] shalt love [With God's AGAPE unconditional love] thy neighbour as thyself) WHICH MAKES IT A PERSONAL INTERACTION when the phrase is used today by the nominal Christian they use it in this form (love thy neighbor as thyself ) without the word "Thou" and the use of that word "Thou" indicates love expressed from a surrendered believer who has given their life over to the control of Jesus' as their SAVIOR FIRST and then understand how to express Him as their EXAMPLE to another with a kind of love, the agape love of God i.e. and an EXAMPLE of Jesus Christ "THOU" HERE IS THE SURRENDERED BELIEVER IN CHRIST!
How do we know this?
Because the unsurrendered carnal Christian (cannot express God's love) toward another neighbor, even though they believe they are fully surrendered. Any kind of love that the carnal Christian can express is (tainted with self) and is not the same kind of (love) that Jesus expressed in the phrase (Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.)
QUESTION: Does the unsurrendered carnal
Christian have the love of God to express towards another? ANSWER: NO!
They have only a sinful, tainted with (self) human love which is NOT the
love Jesus was speaking of here: Mat 22:39(b) Thou shalt love [with
Agape Unconditional Love] thy neighbour as thyself. When "Carnal Christian" loves self
they DO NOT love God, because to love God requires the death of self,
which includes even the way you express love.
Jesus would never tell any
sinner to love another sinner with the sinner's form of love, and since
even Christians are (sinners) any form of love that is NOT God's
"Agape Unconditional Love" is a (false expression) with a
(false sinner induced selfish form of love). This is why the church
today is anemic and devoid of real (unconditional love). It's also why today's Christians in every church denomination are seen by the general public as groups of people who specialize in saying one thing and doing another. This kind of Christianity has as a by-product created a whole new group of people within religion called "NONES" who had rather live for Christ outside of any organized church denomination and call themselves "spiritual but NOT religious" which means they do NOT adhere to any mainline church denomination. The APOSTATE churches have driven these people out of the church by their "phony sin tainted form of love."
The very statement of "spiritual but NOT religious" is a deceptive statement! Yet it speaks of religion, just not organized religion. One cannot be "spiritual" believing in Jesus Christ which is believing in the Christian religion He established, and NOT be religious. It's an attempt to live the Christian religion of Jesus Christ outside of the organized church of Jesus Christ. [I can't really blame them nor do I ridicule them. Jesus Himself didn't follow the organized Jewish religion of His time either, but for the NONES who have created a whole different group of believers outside of the organized church, can't possibly really find the truth as it is IN CHRIST. They can, however, make a religion of their own making that they feel comfortable in practice.
Satan loves this group of people because he knows that they are "independent" in their very classification as "nones" which is right down his alley. It was his own independence in heaven that moved him to take a stand against God. Whenever anyone believes that organized religion is something they don't want any part of and breaks away from it for any reason, then Satan has them right where he wants them. Independence is his motis-Operandi and he has convinced the "nones" that their view of organized religion i.e. the mainline church denominations are faulty, and they are, but that is God's responsibility to correct them if they will hear Him.
The (True love of
God) is a form of love that accepts everyone i.e. the entire inhabited world
every sinful church member and non-member alike and was expressed in the love of Jesus
Christ. However in today's churches "God's Love" is not found because the church is in "apostasy" against God. They have His word for example that clearly states to keep holy His day of worship, yet they all everyone with a few exceptions follow traditions above the truth, this alone makes them an apostate church, whether they commit any other sinful rebellion or preach the "love of Christ" they are in rebellion against God and that makes them apostate even before they open their church doors.
Unless one
understands the (Objective Gospel) in Christ and accepts His perfect
birth, life, death, and resurrection and ascension as their own (perfect life,
self-sacrificial death to self through Him, and their resurrection together in
Him, with their ascension together in Him to heaven to sit with Him in (high
places) they do NOT belong to Him and therefore cannot express
His form of unconditional love to anyone, no matter how long they have
claimed Christianity.
THE "OBJECTIVE GOSPEL"
Rom 6:6-14 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. For he that is dead is freed from sin. Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him: Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
This GRACE cannot be effective to anyone who doesn't understand and accept the OBJECTIVE GOSPEL facts of the finished work of Jesus Christ as their own.
This (Grace of God) didn't just come in at the cross of Jesus but was "PRE-DETERMINED" and pronounced in Eden in Genesis 3:15 when God told Adam and Eve that through His grace He would place "enmity" between the (serpent and fallen mankind), that enmity was and IS Jesus Christ. To believe that God's grace towards sinners came in at the cross it to be totally biblically ignorant of what the Scripture teaches about God Grace. It was because of God's grace that Adam and Eve were NOT instantly destroyed for their rebellion against God.
This brings us to the second aspect of today's church members (understanding of the grace)
of God. They will all without exception quote Ephesians 2:8 For by grace
are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift
of God.
They perceive that this same grace that is spoken of here
because of the word "gift" applies to "the GRACE alone" not Jesus Christ and they
are only half right in their analysis. Yes, Jesus was THE GIFT to
humanity, but Jesus Himself is NOT the sole means of this grace, He
is the (fulfillment of that Grace of God shown in the gift of His Son) showed towards fallen
humanity.
It is also NOT your faith that this verse speaks of. The phrase "are ye saved through faith" is NOT speaking of your personal faith, but your personal faith (in the personal faith of Jesus Christ that allowed Him to live the life you could NOT) who was totally dependent upon His Father through the Holy Spirit that "He lived a perfect life in the flesh on your behalf."
That's why the verse
states in the phrase "that not of yourselves", you had and
have nothing to do of yourself (even in your expressed faith in Jesus)
that adds one iota towards your salvation wrought out in Jesus Christ.
This verse is speaking of the faith of Jesus, the faith He exhibited
during His life that He lived a perfect life on your behalf, it has nothing
to do with your personal faith other than your personal faith
believes what the faith of Jesus accomplished in your redemption and you rest
in His finished work.
This is what the word (grace) in this verse
means.
It was through God's GRACE that Jesus came, therefore, it's by HIS (God's) GRACE shown in the gift of HIS SON that you and I have access to that (gift) through belief by personal faith in Christ finished work through God's GRACE shown towards YOU. Now the verse again with my emphasis in brackets [ ]. Eph 2:8 For by [God's] grace [In Jesus Christ] are ye [the Sinner] saved through [Jesus perfect] faith; and that [IS] not of yourselves: [Because it is JESUS' faith that] it is the gift of God.
This verse in Eph
2:8 should never be quoted as a stand-alone verse. It should be
quoted and added too as an ending verse to the most quoted Christian
verse of John 3:16 as follows. Joh 3:16 For God so loved the world, [God's
GRACE] that he [God] gave his only begotten Son, [the GIFT]
that whosoever believeth in him [Jesus accomplished work] should not perish,
but have everlasting life. For by [God's] grace [In the gift
of His Son] are ye [sinners] saved through [Jesus'] faith;
and that [Salvation IS] not of yourselves: it is the gift of God.
Many carnal Christians who have not fully surrendered to Jesus Christ quote John 3:16 to prove that if they accept Jesus Christ that they have (everlasting life) and they totally overlook the opposite of that everlasting life in the word "perish".
The verse can be understood in (correct context) if it's read with this understanding.
Joh 3:16 For God [through His GRACE] so loved the world, [Unconditionally] that he gave [the GIFT of] his only begotten Son, [Jesus Christ] that whosoever believeth in him [to the degree of accepting Him and His finished work of salvation on the cross] should not [eternally] perish, [In the Second Death forever separated from God] but have everlasting life. [Through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ as their substitute.] Will the wicked eternally perish then according to this verse? YES! There is NO such thing as [eternal punishment] in some hellfire. That would mean that God has allowed for [SIN] to be everlasting somewhere in His creation to be a perpetual event, and God is not going to perpetuate sin in any form or condition, He destroyed it i.e. death (the second death) and the grave (which allows for eternal life to the repentant "born again Christian") the penalty for sin on the cross.
Millions of today's carnal
Christians believe that the God they serve is some (celestial ogre)
who will punish forever sinners who have rebelled for 70-80 years of
rebellion against Him for time and eternity. They do not understand the
justice of God, nor do they understand or believe the word of God either
while they all claim to know and follow Him. This is why I call them (carnal
Christians) they have not surrendered to the truth of God's word as
it's taught. It's the plain teachings of the word of God that states that the
"wicked will be burned to ashes" which should be a consolation
to the wicked who reject God, and to the saints of God as well.
For
the wicked who refuse Him, they will know that they will be punished
according to the deeds they have done and then burn into ashes and suffer the loss of eternal life. Mal 4:1
For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud,
yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh
shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them
neither root nor branch. Mal 4:3 And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they
shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this,
saith the LORD of hosts. Psa 37:20 But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away. Psa 37:35,36 I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree. Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.
The wicked will forever as John 3:16 clearly states "PERISH" they will cease to exist for all eternity after they have burned into ashes.
Mal 4:1 in the phrase
"it shall leave them neither root nor branch" eludes back to
the decree of the "watcher" from heaven. Dan 4:13-15 I saw in
the visions of my head upon my bed, and, behold, a watcher and an
holy one came down from heaven; He cried aloud, and said thus, Hew down
the tree, and cut off his branches, shake off his leaves, and
scatter his fruit: let the beasts get away from under it, and the fowls from
his branches: Nevertheless leave the stump of his roots in the earth,
even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field; and let
it be wet with the dew of heaven, and let his portion be with the
beasts in the grass of the earth.
This was because God had decreed the fact that after Nebuchadnezzar acknowledged Him, that He would restore the king back to his Babylonian kingdom. Whereas the phrase used in Mal 4:1 "it shall leave them neither root nor branch" indicates total annihilation, complete and total destruction of the wicked. This is what the word "Perish" in John 3:16 means, it's the opposite of eternal or everlasting life, it's eternal and everlasting destruction. The wicked will completely PERISH from God's creation once the Lake of Fire has done its work.
On the other hand,
this is good news for the saints of God as well, because they now know
that those who oppose God i.e. the wicked will forever perish from the Earth
and God's Universe and they can understand and see the "justice of
God" in His actions of cleansing the creation. To know that when all
is said and done, they will never have a fear of sin and death ever
occurring again. Nah 1:9 What do ye imagine against the LORD? he will
make an utter end: affliction shall not rise up the second time.
So, what about the devil, how is God going to deal with him? God tells us in His Word, but many phony Christians seem to want to believe that God is a celestial ogre and how then can they ever have the (unconditional love and peace) of God while they see Him as such? Friend, it's impossible to see God as such and have the love of God in your heart i.e your mind.
Not only are the
wicked going to be burned into ashes, but Satan himself will also be
burned into ashes, but today's church members choose to believe a lie
over the truth. God tells us in Ezekiel 28 the final demise of Satan.
QUESTION: Who is going to stoke the fires of some (bogus eternal hellfire) when the devil himself is gone forever from existence? Eze 28:14-19 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee. Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee. All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more.
Today's Christians don't understand the grace of God, nor do they know His word. It's because of this same GRACE that God is going to totally annihilate SIN in all of its forms. From its author, Satan to his followers the wicked and (wickedness) will eternally PERISH from God's Universe when all is said and done. You so-called Christians can believe in a (celestial ogre) if you choose, but you will never have the (peace of God) in your soul if you do so, nor can you express the (Unconditional love of God) towards one in whom you think needs to hear it because you won't have it if you believe and see God like that. Your experience will be only one of your own making and it will not be biblical truth.
If you desire to see (carnal Christians) just go to WalMart on Sunday afternoon and you will see all you want. There's nothing remotely (holy) about a Sunday keeping Christian. There have only (hours) of sacredness during their attended services, after that it's back to the norm for them. The rest of the day for them is just like any other day especially during Super Bowl Sunday. Many of these people will split the Lake of Fire wide open thinking they are serving God, but then it will be too late for them.
You can't give something nor express something you don't have to another person. If you actually believe that God is that kind of God, friend you don't know God!
The WATCHMAN!
