Christians today seemingly are callous with the faith, sitting lightly on the shoulder, more apt to compromise, not paying careful attention to the Lord’s commandments, and seeing the scriptures through their private and world-based opinions. Can they be rightfully called followers of the Lord Jesus Christ? No, they cannot be more than cloaked sinners hiding beneath the veneer of what they deem as faith. And they will lose if they do not repent, their aspirations to be accepted into the Holy City will be denied them.
For many are called but few chosen.
I will say unto them, depart from me you workers of lawlessness.
If you love me, keep my commandments.
He who says I know Him and does not keep the commandments is a liar and the truth is not in him.
And many more admonishments as such were given to them and us to pay very careful attention to what He told us and His disciples, but sadly today this is not the way of His church, better known as His body. It has become very cancerous and self-serving as all too many interpret His clear warnings in the most absurd and ambitious declarations which reveals the depth of their faithlessness and callous obstructions of His words such as not keeping the Sabbath or claiming the Ten Commandments are mere guiding posts. Very many Mr. and Mrs. Worldly Wise couples are to be found in numerous private settings as they presume to teach others how to disregard the clear teachings and to follow theirs into perdition by cherry-picking and discarding what they refuse to believe and accept. And the steam roller crushes or presses aside those who object. Many pastors do the same, and the ears just enjoy the tickling sensation of spiritual headiness and extravagant prophesies being thrust out of bloated tongues from vain imaginings issued by the very many lying teachers upon their gullible hearers.
We do live in perilous days and many believers are not holding to sound doctrines anymore, but more to the teachings taught by those with unfaithful careless attitudes and uncircumcised hearts. And it shows by those lives that are not being lived within the truths anymore. Stubborn minds, hardened hearts, disobedient commandment breakers, infatuated with bloated self-esteem and worth, careless overseers of the flock, short-tempered, impatient, quick to judge and condemn, workers of iniquity, busybodies, divisive, and self-seeking. These are the traits of many apostate believers today, and who can bring them back to the Lord of Hosts? Their sins have enslaved and blinded them to their perilous condition with the truth far from them as they wander on paths that are not paths of righteousness and truth.
Many will purchase the newest Bible translations but are absolutely incapable of practicing obedience. Still others learn the ancient languages to impress their knowledge upon stupid hearers not understanding that the Word has already been given to them in the language they speak. It is the Spirit that gives wisdom and understanding, not the man. Still others seek new and hidden knowledge, though such books of knowledge were cast upon dung heaps centuries earlier by those commissioned by God to reveal His truths. Numerology has found new converts though it was cast aside by the prayers and scriptural power of the faithful for whoever desires to learn from the foolish Greek philosophers has only themselves to blame for their fall into fables and ruin. And the religion of Gaia has once again returned to enslave new converts as well recruiting disciples to Gnosticism.
Putting all the obvious aside that most Christians are turning out be made of paper considering their beliefs and actions, the question begs, where are those who love God and their enemies? Who prays for those who despise and use them? Who sells off some personal property to help those in need? Who walks in humility and forgiveness? Who obeys the commandments of God? Who loves His Law and meditates on it day and night? Who is living to serve the Great King in all that they do?
Who is not self-seeking today? The liars who publish book after book to entertain foolish and weak minds? The pastors who teach lie after lie? The fornicators living casually as though there will not be a day of accountability? The feminists who promote wickedness against the Most High God? The sodomites and lesbians who claim marriage as their right when in fact they are doomed to eternal flames? The genocide of human babies just because it’s much easier to slay the victim when they can’t fight back? The compromising ones who live for themselves and what they think they can get from the world? The ones who judge others based on preconceptions and runny mouths? The ones disrespectful of their mothers and fathers? The murderers in heart as they slander others to justify their own wicked works? The gossips whose burning tongues slay innocent ones? The scheming adulteress and brazen adulterer? The afternoon porn seeker? The ones who abuse their bodies? The effeminate ones who believe they can be a woman by dressing and acting as one?
And this is only the tip of the evil that is spreading like a tsunami across every nation, engulfing all in its filth, decadence and lies as people rebel against God and His most Holy Son, Jesus Christ. No people and certainly no nation is righteous before God, and there is not a single world leader who fears and serves the Living God, no, not one. Though many will call upon the name of God, the question is to which god are they calling upon? There are many gods, though in truth they are the memories of men and women long dead, and demons impersonate them as they revel in the glory given to them by dumb men and women. For truly there are no gods except for the Father in heaven and His glorious Son, the Lord Jesus Christ.
Society has not changed since the creation of man and his civilizations that followed. Our nature has not changed because of our inherited sinful natures which keeps us in captivity to sin which simply means in lawlessness to the righteous commandments of a Holy God. We are not made from star materials for the earth was drawn from the waters before the stars were created. We are not the creation of some alien race from another system for the ancient ruins rediscovered are simply those of what once was before the flood destroyed them all because of mankind’s great wickedness before the Creator.
The evidence is overwhelming pertaining to the truths contained within the Bible, but mankind has chosen to cover the ears and shut the eyelids against such truths, as they lust after their own desires. And, of course, that being the case, they will follow foolish teachings, creations of their vain imaginings, perverted assumptions, and empty theories that have literally turned the world of cosmology upside down and inside out. But if they would choose to believe God, then their eyes would be opened and they would understand the majesty and power of a Holy God. But that is wishful thinking, for this depraved world is in full rebellion to the Creator, and it means that judgement is far closer than what is to be imagined in their dystopian films and horror scenes. Man is wicked as well as the thoughts of the heart, and what occurred in the Second World War shall be repeated on a global scale and ferocity not ever seen before the Lord intercedes and puts as stop to the evil and wickedness once for all.
But for now all things will continue though becoming exponentially worse as the months go by. No, America will not become as great as Mr. Trump imagines it to become for its sins and wickedness have sealed its demise into the upcoming global order of evil and godlessness. China will also be brought low because it too rebels against the Most High God and blasphemes Him every day. The European Union is a union of tyranny in the making. Russia is severely weakened though yet remains extremely dangerous. And still smaller nations have begun to acquire weapons that can paralyze much larger opponents, and yes, the world is plunging towards self-annihilation.
But be it known that the Lord our God has complete knowledge of all things. Not just as in seeing the physical, but also the heart and mind. He sees the past, present and future and there is nothing that He is not aware of, and nothing happens without His knowledge and plan. Therefore all the works of men are open to Him, and all of their boasting, all of their vain imaginings, all of their doings shall have a complete and utter end in a short time. Wealth will not save them, strength will not carry the day, governments will fall and become as ashes, and all hearts will fail when His fury falls upon the evil works of men. For who can withstand Him in that terrible day? He who created all things out of nothing has no one of equal. There will be no Marvel heroes, no Star Trek, no colonies on Mars or elsewhere, for God has set a date when all that man has done shall be cast into ruin and ground into dust that the wind shall carry away as it does the chaff.
The Word of God has made it very clear what is coming upon mankind, and there are none who can stop God from accomplishing His perfect will upon His creation. The Devil and the fallen angels tremble in great fear for they know their destiny, but mankind in their rejection of God and His Son turn a blind eye and a seared a conscience as they continue to heap sins upon more sins until that day of great wrath, and then all will realize the evil of their folly and the terrors of a Living God to be poured out upon mankind. And there will not be a single soul on the face of the earth that can withstand Him and His fury.
All of what I am telling you is the truth, and can easily be proven in His Word, both written and living, but you will not listen in order to be saved, and neither will you learn to believe, but you will continue in your obstinate ways and hard hearts as you interpret according to your wicked desires and love of falsehoods. And in your arrogance, you will die in your sins.
So, continue to believe the lying shepherds, the false prophets, the spiritual guru’s, continue to read book after book written by those without understanding except to gain profit from their writings. Give your ears and money to the evangelists as they promise you many things and give nothing but vanity in return. Please, be born again without realizing that none of you has the spiritual body that our Lord has, He being the first born from the dead while all others are sleeping, awaiting the hour of redemption. Continue to break His laws with impunity although Jesus warned you not to even think such things, but O you do indeed, just as your teachers have instructed you to do, and you will suffer the costs of disobedience as well as those who taught the lies.
Go ahead and claim prosperity, visualize all you want, cast out all the demons you imagine to fear, prophesy your vain dreams and dreamy illusions, speak words of knowledge gleaned from itching ears and wagging tongues. Live in your world of the little flock syndrome forgetting that the body of Christ is world wide. Continue to gather goods to yourself as you ignore the needs of others. Place more money into the bank as you drive by the hungry and homeless. Pride yourselves on being blessed by God though, in fact, you are to be counted among the most impoverished of all. Cursed be your wealth as the poor perish among you! Cursed be the tongue that slays the brethren! Cursed are those who dishonor the ones who gave them a life! Cursed are those who dishonor the Father by dishonoring the Son!
Why do you love the Lord while denying His teachings? Why do you love the brethren while showing them the door? Why make your boast in knowing the Lord when you practice disobedience? Many of you have become open liars and followers of false teachings, and are not even aware that you have already fallen away! Repent while you are able to understand! If you can hear that still quiet voice calling you to turn back then do so without delay!
Many of you will quote verse after verse, book after book while practicing deceit, but it will cost you at the end, and that end is coming at an hour when least expected! Are you not even aware that many of you will not be accepted because of your unbelief in His words and warnings? When you cannot keep the Sabbath as ordained on the seventh-day of Creation, and you will not love God and your neighbor as yourself, then why live in your self-deception and lies? Repent now while you still have the opportunity because the longer you practice sin the harder it is to turn back to God, and slowly you will be lost in your sins and die, then the judgment.
Learn to repent and remain there! Forgive others without expectations. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength. Love your neighbor as yourself. Stop acting as judges for you will be judged in the same exact way. Put aside all adulteries and fornications. Purify your hearts and minds in Christ. Stop living together because that is fornication. Either marry or abstain. Put aside all sexual perversions such as homosexuality and effeminacy because those who practice such things will not be accepted by the Father. You need to Believe In God! Do not lean to your own understanding nor to those who practice sin and teach lawlessness.
The hour is late and the workers of iniquity are without number even within the body of Christ, and many who call themselves disciples are nothing but liars, wolves in sheep’s attire. You will know them by their fruits, by their obedience to the words of Christ, and whether they keep the law as God prescribed or not. You have to choose, God’s words or man’s interpretations. Don’t reject the words of Christ lest you be rejected by Him on that hour of accountability.
I remain a brother to the faithful in Christ Jesus.
