“Who are the ‘Ignorant’ Brethren? – 101”
…Blog.
*** (1Thessalonians
4:13) But we do not want you to be ignorant, brothers; about those who have
died, so that you may not grieve like other people who have no hope.
*** (2Peter
3:15-16) Think of our Lord's patience as salvation, just as our dear brother
Paul also wrote to you according to the wisdom given him.
(2Pe 3:16) He speaks about this subject in all his letters. Some
things in them are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people
distort to their own destruction, as they do the rest of the Scriptures.
*** (1Corinthians 14:38) But
if any = is [willingly] ignorant, = let him = be [willingly] ignorant.
*** (Galatians 3:2-3) This ONLY: I would learn from
you: Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law, OR by hearing of faith?
(Gal 3:3) Are you so Foolish?
Having begun in the Spirit, do you NOW perfect yourself in the flesh?
*** (Proverbs 14:15) The simple [Foolish] believes every word;
but the wise man watches his step.
I was born
“Ignorant”… as each of us is. Within two years of my birth, I was communicating in
a foreign language. We are all “Blank Slates”… and either “Learn or Stagnate!” Ignorance
simply means: “Un–Informed!” The Bible also uses a parallel word: “Foolish!”
The difference is that the Fool… is not willing to Learn. They are satisfied ‘in
& with’ their “Ignorance” and do not want anything to spur them on: to any ‘Cognitive’
reasoning processes. Remember, “Ignorance can be Fixed”… “Stupid is Forever!”
Today many use their phones for ‘Texting or Sexting!’ That in itself is “Reflective”
of their lack of: “Cognitive Abilities.” In reality, they only want ‘Simple’ surface
communication. Because “Real Communication” conveys: “Ideas & Concepts! To
be presented with the… “Cold Hard Facts of LIFE”… is outside their ‘Reasoning
Abilities!’ It is more an ‘Attitude of Heart’ then their raw ability. They have
continually trained themselves to see the ‘Easy way Out!’ How does this ‘Genre’
affect those who… ‘Say’ they have come to Christ Jesus…? Are they “Stymied in Mediocrity”
or is there the ability to become “Mature Christians”…?
*** (1Corinthians
9:27) No, I keep on beating my body and making it my slave so that, after I
have preached to others, I myself will not somehow be disqualified.
*** (Jeremiah
12:5) If you have run with footmen, and they wore you out, then how can you
compete with horses? And if you
feel secure in the land of peace; then how will you do in the swelling of the
Jordan?
*** (Hebrews 12:5-to-8) You have forgotten the encouragement
that is addressed to you as sons: "My son, do not think lightly of the
Lord's discipline; or give up when you are corrected by Him.
(Heb 12:6) For
the Lord disciplines the one He loves; and he punishes every son he
accepts."
(Heb 12:7) What
you endure is for the sake of discipline. God is treating you as sons. Is there
a son whom his father does not discipline? [None!]
(Heb 12:8)
Now if you are without any discipline; in which all sons share; then you are
illegitimate [Bastards] and Not His sons. [Matthew 7:21-22-23]
*** (John 15:1) "I [Jesus] am the true vine; and My
Father [God] is the vinegrower.
(John 15:2) He
removes every branch in Me: that does not produce fruit; and he cleanses every
branch that does produce fruit so that it might produce more fruit.
(John 15:3) You
are already clean because of the Word; that I have spoken to you.
(John 15:4) "Abide
in Me; and I will abide [Romans 8:9] in you. Just as the branch ‘cannot’
produce fruit by itself unless it abides in the vine; neither can you ‘unless’
you abide in Me.
(John 15:5) I
am the vine; you are the branches. The one who abides in Me while I abide in
him produces much fruit, for apart from Me: you can do ‘nothing’.

*** (2Corinthians
4:7) But we have this Treasure [Romans 8:9] in earthen [our human bodies]
vessels; that the Excellency of the [His Holy Spirit] Power; may be of God; and
–> ‘Not’ of us.
*** (Micah 6:8) He has shown
you; O man, what is good. And
what does the Lord require of you; but to do justice; and to love mercy; and to
walk humbly ‘with’ your God?
Are ‘You’ serious… about your ‘Relationship’ with Christ
Jesus…? Do ‘You’ spend… “Dedicated Time”… learning “His Holy Word”…? Hiding His
Holy Word… in your ‘Heart?’ Did ‘You’ ever wonder why some Christians use
Scripture verses… and some use [Pseudo] Pictures of Jesus…? Many speak about ‘Knowing
Him’… and yet know “Nothing”… about His Holy Word…? They often speak about
those ‘Others’ as… ‘Legalists’…! And yet they cannot take their own Bibles: and
defend “What & Why” they believe what they ‘Do?’ Obviously, those who yield
themselves to His Holy Word… and to the Holy Spirit… “Grow in Grace!” Sorry, I
do “Not”… ‘Accuse nor Excuse: ANY’… but simply ask ‘You’: “Which One: ‘You’ Are”…?
You have known Christ Jesus for… “How Many Years”…? “____” years…? And ‘You’ don’t know His Holy
Word?

*** (Luke 16:13) No servant can serve two masters. For
either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will hold to the one
and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon [Self].
***
(2Kings 6:27) And he said, if the LORD Jehovah does not help you; from
where shall I help you? Out of the barn-floor, or out of the winepress?
*** (Ezekiel 33:31) And they come to you as the people come,
= and they sit before you as My
people, = and they hear your words. = But they will ‘Not’ = DO them. = For with
their mouth = they show Much LOVE, = but
their heart goes ‘After’ their = unjust gain.
*** (Ecclesiastes 12:13-14) Let
us hear the conclusion of the whole matter. Fear God; and keep His
commandments. For this is the
whole duty of man.
(Eccl 12:14) For
God shall bring every work into judgment; with ‘every’ secret thing; ‘whether’ it is Good; or ‘whether’ Evil.
*** (Mark 1:35) And in the morning, rising up a great
while before day, HE [Jesus] went out, and departed into a solitary place, and
there prayed. [worshiped]
*** (1Samuel 3:21) And the LORD appeared again in Shiloh:
for the LORD revealed Himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the WORD of the LORD.
“Do
‘YOU’ = Love ‘Jesus’ – 101” …Blog.
Where do ‘You’ go from here…? If ‘You’ do “Not have a LOVE” for His
Holy Word… just perhaps ‘You’ are not Truly Born Again…? Remember Christ Jesus
said, “MANY” would come to Him and say Lord, Lord… and He would say to them… “I
Never Knew –> You!” [Matthew 7:21-22-23]? Where will ‘You’ be when we all
stand before Him at… “His Judgment Seat”… to loose or receive ‘Rewards’…? It will
be “Too LATE”… if ‘You’ have Not believed on HIM… as He said: “John 7:38-39”…!
Remember, “Knowing ‘about’ Jesus”… is “NOT” knowing Him with “Saving Faith!”
Our US Money says, “In God we Trust”… and yet “Christians are Silent”… about
the “Murder of over: 55,000,000 million Innocent Babies: by Abortion!” 85% of Americans
claim they are Christian…? Something is “Not Right” about people saying; that
they are ‘Christians’…?
***
(2Corinthains 5:19-20-21) For in Christ God; was reconciling the world
[any that would come] to Himself; by not counting their sins against them
through His forgiveness]; and He has committed to us; the message of
reconciliation. [in Christ alone]
(2Co 5:20) Therefore, we are Christ's representatives; as though God
were pleading through us [to You!]. We plead on Christ's behalf: “[You] Be
reconciled to God!”
(2Co 5:21) God made the One [Jesus]; Who did not know sin; to be sin
for us [Christ our Passover]; so that we might become God's righteousness in Him
[Jesus].

*** (Romans 8:9) You,
however, are ‘not’ of the flesh but under the control of the Spirit; since
God's [Holy] Spirit lives in you. And if anyone does ‘NOT’ have the Spirit of
Christ, he does = ‘NOT’ = belong to Him.
*** (1Corinthians 2:14) But the = natural man = does “NOT”…
receive the things [WORD] of the Spirit of God; for they are = “FOOLISHNESS” =
to him; Neither can he = Know = them; because they are spiritually discerned.
*** (Matthew 7:21-22-23) NOT Everyone = who says to Me [Jesus], Lord! Lord!
Shall enter the kingdom of Heaven; but he who does the will [Word] of My Father
in Heaven.
(Matt 7:22) MANY = will say to Me [Jesus] in that
day, Lord! Lord! Did we not prophesy in Your name, and through Your name throw
out demons, and through Your name do many wonderful works?
(Matt 7:23)
And then I [Jesus] will say to them = I never knew you! = Depart from Me, those
working lawlessness!
*** (Galatians
3:1-2-3) O foolish Galatians, who bewitched you not to obey the Truth; to Whom
before your eyes Jesus Christ
was written among you crucified?
(Gal 3:2) This only I would learn from you: Did you receive -> the [Holy] Spirit [Romans 8:9]; by works of the law; -> or by hearing of faith
[Acts 15:8-9]?
(Gal 3:3) Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit; -> do you now ‘perfect’ yourself in the flesh? [by keeping the Sabbath, Passover, Feast
days, Etc.?]

into the Lake of Fire and Brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet were . And he will be tormented day

one should go to them from the
dead, they would repent.
(Luke 16:31)
And he said to him, If they do not hear Moses and the Prophets, they will not
be persuaded, even though one rose from the
dead.
