“Is Christian ‘Obedience’… Optional? – 101”…Blog.

*** (Matthew 24:37) But as the days of Noah were; so shall be the coming of the Son of Man.

*** (Genesis 6:5) And the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth; and every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was ‘only’ evil continually.

*** (Matthew 24:12) and because lawlessness will increase; the love [Agape] of ‘many’ people will grow cold.

Before the Return of “Christ Jesus”… will things become more… “Good or Evil”… on the Earth…? We here in America have not experienced the wars as ‘Europe & Asia’ has. Our Civil War is only a historical item to most. Before God destroyed the world; with the flood… mankind was wicked… as “Genesis 6:5” says. So too, “Christ Jesus” told us that… as the days of Noah… so shall be His Return! And again in “Matthew 24:12”… because “Iniquity/Lawlessness”… shall abound… the love [Agape] of ‘Many’ will grow ‘Cold!’ That “Agape Love” only flows through those; who are Born Again by God’s Holy Spirit. Real Christians… will grow “Cold” in their Love; for both our Lord and for other Christians…! Don’t allow anyone to tell you thing will get better; the Scriptures say different…! Did the “Prosperous Israel” of Solomon… ever ‘recover’ their ‘Prosperity’…? Do you even know the OT Scriptures… and how their “Disobedience to God’s Holy Word”… led them into their… “70–year Captivity in Babylon”…?

“End of Days – 202”…Blog.

*** (Malachi 3:6) For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore you sons of Jacob are not consumed.

*** (Hebrews 13:8) Jesus Christ the same yesterday and today and forever.

*** (Deuteronomy 11:26-27-28) Behold, I set before you today; a blessing and a curse:

(Deut 11:27) A blessing if you obey the commandments of Jehovah your God which I command you today,

(Deut 11:28) and a curse if you will not obey the commandments of Jehovah your God, but will turn aside out of the way which I command you today, to go after other gods which you have not known.

Just because “One”… says they ‘Know Jesus’… or says they are a ‘Christian’; but that… does ‘not’ make it so…! Many speak about the ‘Love of God’… and say they ‘Love Jesus’… but that… does ‘not’ make it so…! Why then ‘Today’… is there all this ‘Acceptance of Evil’… as if it were “Good”…? ‘Simple Silence’… is ‘Simple Acceptance!’ Right away you may ‘brand’ me… ‘Critical & Judgmental’…! But “FEWER”… even want to; “Know About” the above Bible statement… (Deuteronomy 11:26-27-28)… “BOTH” the… “Blessings & Curses”… for “Obedience or Disobedience!” Remember ‘One Thing’… the “Will of GOD” = “Always Equals” = the “Holy Word of God”…! When we “All” stand before Christ Jesus to be Judged… for our ‘Testimony & Works’… what will ‘You’ tell… “Him?” If this were “Not So”… then Christ Jesus… would have said… “Few”… or… “Some”… but… “Not–MANY”…!

*** (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!

*** (Luke 6:46) And why do you call Me [Jesus] Lord, Lord; and = ‘Do Not Do’ = what I [Jesus] say?

*** (John 15:9-to-12) As the Father [God] has loved Me [Jesus]; so I have loved you; continue in My love.

(John 15:10) ‘If’ you keep My commandments; you shall abide in My love; even as I have kept My Father's commandments and abide in His love.

(John 15:11) I have spoken these things to you so that; ‘My’ joy might remain in you and ‘your’ joy might be full.

(John 15:12) This is My commandment; that you love one another as I have loved you.

*** (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.

*** (John 8:28-29) Then Jesus said to them; When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you shall know that I AM [Exodus 3:14]; and that I do nothing of Myself; but as My Father has taught Me, I speak these things.

(John 8:29) And He who sent Me is with Me. The Father has not left Me alone; for I always do those things which please Him.

*** (John 12:44-to-50) But Jesus cried out and said, He who believes on Me; does not believe on Me but on Him who sent Me.

(Joh 12:45)  And he who sees Me [Jesus] sees Him [God] Who sent Me.

(Joh 12:46)  I have come as a Light into the world, so that whoever believes on Me should not remain in darkness.

(Joh 12:47)  And if any one hears My Words and does not believe, I do not judge him, for I do not come to judge the world, but to save the world.

(Joh 12:48)  He who rejects Me and does not receive My Words has one who judges him; the Word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.

(Joh 12:49)  For I [Jesus] have not spoken of Myself, but the Father who sent Me gave Me a command, what I should say, and what I should speak.

(Joh 12:50)  And I know that His command is life everlasting. Therefore whatever I speak, even as the Father said to Me, so I speak.

“Do ‘YOU’ = Love ‘Jesus’ – 101” …Blog.

http://truth459.blogspot.com/2011/01/do-you-love-jesus-101-blog.html

How do You know… ‘What’ you need to Obey; If you do not; ‘read & study’… the Scriptures, the Holy Word of God…? Why do you think… that God gave us His Holy Word…? So that we could ‘Only’… carry our Bibles to Church…? The Bible is the Most Unread Book… in the Christian Home…! The TV and Video’s & Games… are more used; than the Bible…! What is wrong with that… ‘Picture?’ Just perhaps that is why… we have such a rapid moral decline… in our country… where ‘So Very Many’ profess… “To Know God”…? That is why… ‘So Very Many’ = who say they are Christian; are Silent about the Murder of those Innocent Babies… “Killed by Abortion”… in their American Mothers’ Wombs…! American Mothers… “Killing their Innocent Babies”… and the rest are… “SILENT”…? Do you watch TV programs or Videos… where the Homosexual Agenda… is promoted as ‘Gay’… and “Not as an Abomination to God”…? Surely, the Holy Word of God… has “Not Changed”…! You have simply… ‘Accepted as Normal’… what; “God will Judge the World For”…!

*** (Ezekiel 3:18-to-21) When I [God] say to the wicked; You shall surely die; and you do not give him warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way; to save his life; the same wicked one shall die in his iniquity; but I will require his blood at your hand.

(Eze 3:19) Yet if you warn the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul.

(Eze 3:20) And when the righteous turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and when I lay a stumbling block before him, he shall die. Because you have not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he has done shall not be remembered; but his blood I will require at your hand.

(Eze 3:21) But if you warn the righteous so that the righteous does not sin, and if he does not sin, he shall surely live because he is warned; also you have delivered your soul.

Right away someone will say… “You are Judging Me”…! Aren’t we ‘All’ part of our society… and make up our nation. Can some peddle… ‘Illegal Drugs’ or ‘Pornography’… and it “Not Affect ‘ALL’ of Society”…? Can you watch the “Filth portrayed as Good” on TV… and it ‘not’ affect your Thinking…? This recent… “Caylee Anthony”… trial and others; have been ‘Affected’ by that CSI television program; to the “Harm of Society!” In an hour program, a criminal is tracked, caught, presented the evidence and is booked; case solved! “Impossible Fantasy”… but so many people are so inundated; by the fiction on TV… that they cannot… ‘Think or Reason’… normally! Matter of fact… people ‘do not’ know how to respond to life situations… except what they learn how to; from TV or Videos! They miss that God’s Holy Word… has Spiritual Principles that can be applied to ‘Any’ life situation…!

“Judge not – 101”…Blog.

http://truth459.blogspot.com/2011/03/judge-not-that-you-may-not-be-judged.html

*** (Proverbs 14:34) Righteousness lifts up a nation, but sin is a rebuke to any people.

*** (1Corinthians 5:6) Your boasting is not good. You know that a little yeast leavens the whole batch of dough; don't you?

*** (Matthew 5:13) You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its savor; with what shall it be salted? It is no longer good for anything; but to be thrown out and to be trodden underfoot by men.

*** (Luke 17:3) Take heed to yourselves. If your brother trespasses against you; rebuke him. And if he repents; forgive him.

*** (1Timothy 5:20) Those who sin, rebuke before all; so that the rest also may fear [God].

*** (Isaiah 5:20) Woe to those who = call evil good = and good evil; = who put darkness for light = and light for darkness; = who put bitter for sweet = and sweet for bitter!

Most Christians ‘do not’ read & study… their Bibles! How then are they suppose to understand; “Obedience” to Christ Jesus; and to His Holy Word…? How about You…? Do you meet [Mark 1:35] with Christ Jesus… in His Holy Word… [2Corinthains 4:16] “Daily”…? How else does one; cleans himself or herself [John 15:3] from the contaminations of this fallen evil world…? Do you give the first of your day… to Christ Jesus… or do you turn on your; TV, Computer or Phone… “First?” Just perhaps “Obedience to Christ”… and to His Holy Word… has not even entered your mind or heart…? Christian Music & Other Pseudo Christian things… have replaced; God’s Holy Word… in your “Heart & Mind & Thoughts”…? I will simply leave you with these verses… and then allow you… “To Obey”… or “Not”…!

*** (2Corinthains 10:3-to-6) Of course, we are living in the flesh; but we ‘do not’ fight in a fleshly way.

(2Cor 10:4) For the weapons of our warfare; are ‘not’ those of the flesh. Instead, they have the ‘power’ of God to demolish fortresses. We ‘tear down’ arguments

(2Cor 10:5) and ‘every’ proud obstacle; that is ‘raised against’ the knowledge of God; taking ‘every thought’ captive; in order ‘to obey’ Christ.

(2Cor 10:6) We are ready; to punish [Proverbs 28:13; ‘every’ act of disobedience [1John 1:5-to-10]; when your ‘obedience’ [James 1:22 & Luke 6:46] is complete.

“Why do you ‘Believe’… – 101”…Blog.

“Why do you ‘Believe’… – 101”…Blog.

*** (Jeremiah 39:18) For I will surely deliver you; and you shall not fall by the sword; but your life shall be as a prize to you; ‘because’ you have put your trust in Me [God], says the Lord.

… “What ‘You’ Believe”…? Have you ever thought about “IT”…? Is it because you have heard what you believe in Church…? Or from a Pastor; or from a good Friend…? Or do you “Know these Facts”… because you ‘Read & Believed’ them… from the Holy Word of God…? My quiet time this week has been in the Bible book of ‘Jeremiah’. When was the last time… You ‘Read & Studied’… the Old Testament…? The Bible is ‘not’ just 66 books bound in a single volume. It is a revelation of God’s working with His… ‘Creation & Creatures’… so that many may ‘know’ that “GOD is God–Alone [Isaiah 44:6]!” His Truth, Wisdom, Statutes, Precepts are available for all that would truly… seek God… “Who allows ALL”… ‘According to His Divine Purposes’…!

*** (Romans 15:4-to-6) For whatever things were written before were written for our learning; so that we through patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope.

(Rom 15:5) And may the God of patience and consolation; grant you to be ‘like minded’ toward one another according to Christ Jesus,

(Rom 15:6) so that with ‘one mind’ and ‘one mouth’ you may glorify God; even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

*** (Deuteronomy 29:29) The ‘secret’ things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are ‘revealed’; belong unto us and to our children for ever; that we may do ‘all’ the words of this Law.

*** (Psalms 19:7-to-14) The Law of The Lord is perfect; converting the soul; the testimony of The Lord is sure; making the simple wise.

(Psa 19:8) The Precepts of The Lord are right; rejoicing the heart; the Commandments of The Lord are pure; giving light to the eyes.

(Psa 19:9) The fear of The Lord is clean; enduring forever; the judgments of The Lord are true and righteous altogether,

(Psa 19:10) more to be desired than gold, even much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.

(Psa 19:11) And Your servant is warned by them; in keeping them there is great reward.

(Psa 19:12) Who can understand his errors? Oh make me pure from secret faults;

(Psa 19:13) and keep Your servant back from presumptuous sins; do not let them rule over me; then I shall be upright, and I shall be innocent of great transgression.

(Psa 19:14) Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in Your sight, O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.

*** (1Corinthians 2:10-to-14) But God has revealed them to us by His Spirit; for the Spirit ‘searches’ all things, yea, the deep things of God.

(1Cor 2:11) For who among men knows the things of a man except the spirit of man within him? So also no one ‘knows’ the things of God; ‘except’ the Spirit of God.

(1Cor 2:12) But we ‘have not’ received the spirit of the world; but the Spirit from God; so that we ‘might know’ the things that are freely given to us by God.

(1Cor 2:13) These things we also speak; not in words which man's wisdom teaches; but which the Holy Spirit teaches; ‘comparing’ spiritual things with spiritual.

(1Cor 2:14) But the natural man ‘does not’ receive the things of the Spirit of God; for they are ‘foolishness’ to him; ‘neither’ can he know them; because they are spiritually discerned.

…

Did you ever ‘study’ in school… just enough to pass a test? You used your rote memory… to learn facts… to pass that test. So today, many people are ‘crippled’… with that same mentality; when it comes to the things of the Lord & His Holy Word; the Bible…! Someone recently asked me… “Do ‘You’ believe that Jesus is God?” My response was… “What I ‘believe’ or ‘not believe’… makes ‘absolutely’ no difference… “He Jesus says He is God”; in His Holy Word the Bible!” They  simply wanted a… ‘Yes or No’ answer! Many Christians today… have a list called: ‘The Statement of Faith.’ It is a list of things they; ‘Say’ they believe… ‘But Could Not’… Defend their beliefs in a court! We will ‘All’ stand before God; to be ‘judged & rewarded’! Some will have their reward in “Heaven with Jesus”… and some will have their reward; in the Lake of Fire! There they will be tormented; day & night… forever & forever…!

*** (1Corinthains 16:22) If ‘anyone’ does not love the Lord Jesus Christ; let him be accursed [Damned]. The Lord comes!

*** (1Timothy 5:24-25) Some men's sins are ‘open’ beforehand; going before to judgment. And some they also ‘follow’ after.

(1Ti 5:25) Likewise ‘also’ the good works of some are manifest beforehand; and those who are otherwise ‘cannot’ be hidden.

*** (2Corinthains 5:10) For we must ‘All’ appear before the judgment seat of Christ’ so that ‘each one’ may receive the things done through the body; according to that which he has done; whether ‘good’ or ‘bad’.

*** (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’.

*** (John 12:48-49-50) He who ‘rejects’ Me [Jesus] and does not receive My WORDS; has one who ‘judges’ him; the WORD that I have spoken; the ‘same’ shall judge him in the Last Day.

(John 12:49) For I have ‘not’ spoken of Myself; but the Father [God] Who sent Me [Jesus]; gave Me a ‘command’; what I should ‘say’, and what I should ‘speak’.

(John 12:50) And I know that His command is life everlasting. Therefore ‘whatever’ I speak; even as the Father ‘said’ to Me; so I ‘speak’.

“Grace Away Sin – 101”…Blog.

http://truth459.blogspot.com/2009/08/grace-away-sin-101blog.html

Today in America… the ‘Church’; has left off… ‘Reading & Studying’… God’s Holy Word; the Bible! “MANY” who ‘call’ the Blessed Name of Christ Jesus… and who ‘say’ they belong to Him… ‘Could Not’… open their Bibles; and defend ‘what’ they believe! “IF”… it were a crime to be a True Believer… could you defend your Faith… with God’s Holy Word; “Chapter & Verse”…? If you cannot… Why Not…? Or is your “Faith in God”… just a ‘head belief’… and ‘One’… You are “Not Willing to Die For”…? The Real Church of Christ Jesus… is made up of ‘All’ those who are… “Truly Born Again by His Holy Spirit”… “Is NOT”… a Church Denomination…! They are the “Bride of Christ”… the “Body of Christ”… His Church…!

*** (Amos 8:11) Behold, the days come, ‘says’ the Lord Jehovah; that I will ‘send’ a famine in the land; ‘not’ a famine of bread ‘nor’ a thirst for water; but of ‘hearing’ the Words of the Lord.

*** (Romans 8:8-to-11) So then they who are in the flesh ‘cannot’ please God.

(Rom 8:9) But you are not in the flesh; but in the Spirit; if the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone has not the Spirit of Christ, he is = ‘none’ = of His.

(Rom 8:10) And if Christ is in you; indeed the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

(Rom 8:11) But if the Spirit of the One [God]; Who ‘raised up’ Jesus from the dead; ‘dwells’ in you: the One who raised up Christ from the dead: shall ‘also’ make your mortal bodies alive; by His [Holy] Spirit: Who ‘dwells’ in you.

*** (2Timothy 2:15-16) Study earnestly to present yourself approved to God; a workman that ‘does not’ need to be ashamed; rightly dividing the Word of Truth [God].

(2Tim 2:16)  But shun profane, vain babblings; for they will ‘increase’ to more ungodliness.

*** (2Timothy 3:12-to-17) Yea, and ‘All’ who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus; will be persecuted.

(2Ti 3:13) But evil men and seducers will ‘go forward’ to worse; ‘deceiving’ and ‘being deceived’.

(2Ti 3:14) But continue in the things that you have learned; and have been assured of; knowing from Whom [John 16:13-14-15]; you have learned them,

(2Ti 3:15) and that from a child; you have known the Holy Scriptures; which are able to make you wise to salvation; through faith in Christ Jesus.

(2Ti 3:16) All Scripture is God-breathed; and is ‘Profitable’ for Doctrine; for Reproof; for Correction; for Instruction in Righteousness,

(2Ti 3:17) that the man of God; may be ‘perfected’; thoroughly ‘furnished’ to every good work.

*** (2Timothy 4:2-3-4) preach the Word; be ‘instant’ in season; and ‘out’ of season; Reprove; Rebuke; Exhort; with ‘all’ long-suffering and ‘doctrine’.

(2Tim 4:3) For a time will be when they ‘will not’ endure sound doctrine; but they will ‘heap up’ teachers to themselves; according to their own lusts; tickling the ear.

(2Tim 4:4) And they will ‘turn away’ their ears from the Truth; and will be ‘turned’ to myths [fables].

*** (Ezekiel 2:7) And you shall speak My Words to them; whether they will hear; or whether they will forbear [resist]; for they are rebellious.

*** (Jer 1:8) Do not be afraid of their faces; for I am with you to deliver you; says the Lord Jehovah.

*** (Luke 17:10) So likewise you; when you shall have done ‘all the things’ commanded you, say; We are ‘unprofitable’ servants; for we have done what we ‘ought to do’.

*** (2Corinthians 5:18) And all things are of God; Who has ‘reconciled’ us to Himself through Jesus Christ; and has ‘given to us’ - the ‘ministry of reconciliation’;

(2Cor 5:19) whereas God was in Christ; ‘reconciling’ the world to Himself; not imputing their trespasses to them; and ‘putting’ the word [testimony] of ‘reconciliation’ in us.

(2Cor 5:20) Then we are ‘ambassadors’ on behalf of Christ; as God ‘exhorting’ through us; we beseech you on behalf of Christ; ‘be reconciled’ to God.

The Christian 'Parrot' - 101 ...Blog.

“The Christian ‘Parrot’ – 201”… Blog.

*** (2Peter 2:1-2) But there were also ‘false prophets’ among the people; even as there will be ‘false teachers’ among you; who secretly will bring in destructive heresies; even denying the Master who bought them; bringing on themselves swift destruction.

(2Pet 2:2) And = MANY = will follow their pernicious ways; and ‘because’ of them: the way of Truth [John 17:17] will be evil spoken of.

A Christian brought his ‘Parrot’… to Church; which got along with everyone. It has learned “Christian–Eze”… “God–Talk” and other ‘Christian’ lingo. It has even learned ‘parts’ of 25 different Bible verses and some of the words of the ‘ole time’ hymns! No one even ‘dared’ say… take that ‘Parrot’ out of Church; it has no business here! Its owner was a hit with everyone and often said… “I use him to bring people to Christ!” He said, you know… whatever works is… “OK with God!” “Never”… did he say… anything about that; being a “Valid Bible Teaching”... or “Not?” What do you think… is this a valid tool… for leading people to Christ…? Or are all those gimmicks… simply works of the flesh…? If you said ‘OK’… than you are ‘Spiritually’ blinded; and don’t even realize it…!

*** (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 of My Father in Heaven.

(Matt 7:22) = “MANY” = will say to Me 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 [Jesus] ‘never’ knew you! Depart from Me, those working lawlessness [iniquity]!

*** (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.

*** (Matthew 24:24-25) For false Christs’ and false prophets ‘will’ arise and show ‘great signs’ and ‘wonders’ [miracles]; so much so that; if it were possible; they would deceive ‘even’ the elect.

(Matt 24:25) Behold, I [Jesus] have told you beforehand.

*** (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.

(2Pet 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.

False Christians – 101 Blog [1/4]

http://truth459.blogspot.com/2009/11/pseudo-false-christians-101.html

What is happening with the ‘Churches’… and “WHY” have they left off; “Preaching the Holy Word of God”…? “WHY” is just about everything acceptable in the Churches today…? Remember ‘Churches’ are only made up of ‘People’… and they ‘Choose’… what is said & done in the Churches. Their Pastor in on a short leash… and what the Church Governing board wants… that is what they ‘Get!’ Right after… “9-11”… the Churches ware ‘Packed with Unbelievers’! Some Churches even went to… two and three services… in order to accommodate the people. People were actually hungry… to hear the Holy Word of God! But only months later… when the danger of another ‘Terrorist Attack’ was diminished… the Churches were empty again!

*** (Isaiah 24:2) And as it is with the people, so it shall be with the priest [Pastor]; as with the servant, so with the master; as with the handmaid, so it is with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the creditor, so with the debtor.

*** (John 3:19) And this is the basis for judgment: The Light [Jesus–John 8:12] has come into the world; but people ‘loved the darkness’: more than the light; because their actions were ‘evil’.

(John 3:20) For everyone who ‘practices’ wickedness; ‘hates’ the light; and ‘does not’ come to the light; so that his actions, may not be exposed.

*** (Isaiah 28:13) But the Word of LORD was to them precept on precept, precept on precept; line on line, line on line; here a little, there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken and snared and taken.

*** (1Corinthains 5:1-2-3) It is actually reported that sexual immorality exists among you, and of a kind that is not found even among the gentiles. A man is actually living with his father's wife!

(1Co 5:2) And you are being arrogant instead of being filled with grief and seeing to it that the man who did this is removed from among you.

(1Co 5:3) Even though I am away from you physically, I am with you in spirit. I have already passed judgment on the man who did this, as though I were present with you.

*** (2John 1:9) Everyone who ‘does not’ abide in the teaching of Christ; but goes beyond it; ‘does not’ have God. The person who ‘abides’ in the teaching of Christ; has ‘both’ the Father and the Son.

(2Jn 1:10) If ‘anyone’ comes to you; and ‘does not’ bring this teaching; ‘do not’ take him into your home; or even ‘greet’ him,

(2Jn 1:11) for the one who ‘greets’ him; ‘shares’ in his evil deeds.

What is happening now… in the ‘Churches’…? Most of the members are more concerned about the ‘Next President’… and “HOW”… ‘He or She’… is going to ‘FIX’ our “Many”… Financial, Social, Monetary, Housing and Job = “Problems!” Which ‘Master’… are they really serving… “Christ” or “Politics”…? Have these “National Problems”… driven people… ‘Further Away’ from Christ Jesus and His Holy Word… OR… driven them: “To Him and His Holy Word”…? In almost any Church… there is very little Bible teaching… and “Very Much Entertainment”…! And the members for the most part… just take things; as they are… out of some misguided loyalty… instead of saying something about… “Why is there… so very Little Bible Teaching & Preaching”…?

*** (1Peter 4:17-18-19) For the time has come for the judgment to begin from the house of God. And if it first begins from us; what will be the end of those disobeying the gospel of God?

(1Pet 4:18) And if the righteous one is scarcely saved; where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?

(1Pet 4:19) Therefore let those who suffer according to the will of God; commit their souls in well-doing; as to a faithful Creator.

*** (Genesis 18:25) Far be it from You to act in this manner; to kill the righteous with the wicked. And far be it from You; that the righteous should be as the wicked. Shall not the Judge of ‘all’ the earth do right?

*** (2Kings 6:27) And he said, if the Lord does not help you; from where shall I help you? Out of the barn-floor, or out of the winepress?

*** (Habakkuk 3:17-18-19) Though the fig tree shall not blossom; and fruit is not on the vines; the labor of the olive fails; and the fields yield no food. The flock is cut off from the fold; and no herd is in the stalls;

(Hab 3:18) yet I will rejoice in Jehovah the Lord; I will joy in the God of my salvation.

(Hab 3:19) Jehovah the Lord is my strength; and He will make my feet like hinds’ feet; and He will make me to walk on my high places. To the chief singer on my stringed instruments.

*** (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 [Politics].

“American Christianity? – 101”…Blog.

Where do ‘You’ go from here…? You cannot make a plan to go forward… till you find how far you have… “Backslid”…! Simply open your Bible and read about the Seven Churches of Revelation chapters “2 & 3”…? Churches are made up of ‘believers’… and those “7–Churches” can be a word picture… of any Christians walk in life! See where ‘You’ fit in… and then Repent and start those Corrective Measures… called out to those Churches! Remember when ‘You’… were first Born Again… by God’s Holy Spirit… and the Love ‘You’ had for Him and His Holy Word…? Who “MOVED”… “You”… or “Christ”…? Surely it was “Not” Christ…! It was “You”…!

*** (Proverbs 28:13) He who covers his sins shall not be blessed; but whoever confesses and leaves them shall have mercy.

*** (2Corinthains 4:16) For this cause we do not faint; but though our outward man perishes; yet the inward man; is being renewed day by day.

*** (John 15:1-2-3) I [Jesus] am the True Vine; and My Father [God] is the Vinedresser.

(John 15:2) Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit; He takes away. And every one that bears fruit; He prunes it so that it may bring forth; more fruit.

(John 15:3) Now you are clean through the Word; which I have spoken to you.

*** (Hebrews 12:6-to-9) 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? [No!]

(Heb 12:8) Now if you are ‘without’ any discipline; in which all [say they are] sons share; then you are ‘illegitimate’ [Bastard] and ‘Not’ His sons.

(Heb 12:9) Furthermore, we had earthly fathers who used to discipline us, and we respected them for it. We should even more ‘submit’ to the Father of our spirits and live, shouldn’t we?

*** (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.

*** Did YOU open Your “BIBLE”... and ‘Meet’ with Christ JESUS; in His “HOLY WORD” [1Samuel 3:21]... before ‘YOU’... “Turned on Your”… TV, Computer, Radio, or Cell Phone...?

(Amos 8:11) Behold, the days come; says the Lord Jehovah, that I will send a ‘famine’ in the land; ‘not’ a famine of bread nor a thirst for water; but of ‘hearing’ the Words of Jehovah.

Just Perhaps… that Christian ‘Parrot’… should quote these… “Verses”…? The “Spiritual Heritage”… of our Nation is… “GONE”… and “WE”… don’t ‘even’ Care…!

*** (1Samuel 4:18-to-22) And it happened when he spoke of the ark of God, he fell backward off the seat, by the side of the gate. And his neck broke, and he died, for he was an old man, and heavy. And he had judged Israel forty years.

(1Sam 4:19) And his daughter-in-law, Phinehas' wife, was with child, ready to be delivered. And when she heard the report that the ark of God was taken; and that her father-in-law and her husband were dead, she bowed herself and travailed, for her pains came upon her.

(1Sam 4:20) And about the time of her death the women that stood by her said to her, Do not fear, for you have borne a son. But she did not answer, nor set her heart.

(1Sam 4:21) And she named the child “Ichabod”, saying; The glory has departed from Israel, ‘because’ the ark of God had been taken; and because of her father-in-law and her husband.

(1Sam 4:22) And she said, The glory has departed from Israel, for the ark of God is taken.

This is “WHAT”… We are… “Missing”…!

*** (Jeremiah 9:23) So says Jehovah, Do not let the wise glory in his wisdom, nor let the mighty glory in his might; do not let the rich glory in his riches;

(Jer 9:24) but let him who glories glory in this; that he understands and knows Me; that I am Jehovah; doing kindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth; for in these I delight, says Jehovah.

Love; in Christ, Roger / Ezekiel 3:18-to-21.
