Discussion

Many walk in what they see as righteous and holy behavior. However, there is a problem. It is a difficulty that lurks and pinches at the back of my own mind. Because I fear that I have stumbled into this as well. That is why I strive to stay within God’s Word even though I must say I don’t always study it as well as I should.

But what is this trouble that I am referring to? To answer this, I must share an anecdote.

There is a lady that I was in contact with through social media. Daily she would offer memes and teachings of the Word of God. She would even post verses. Most of what she did and how she behaved looked true and accurate. Then she crossed a line. A line that if one crosses it, they are told they would suffer not salvation, but damnation for doing so. Yet multiple times she crossed this line.

Subsequently, in 99% of her actions and behavior she was a true “Christian.” However, in this 1% she was giving a false teaching of the Word of God and she was ardent and insistent that her views were true and all else were living in a lie.

A view I might say that has been proven as fact within the Bible by its very wording. Supported by hundreds of scholars for hundreds of years upon both the left and right of the debate about what is within the Bible between these scholars.

What this equates to is that this woman has become a false teacher. What does the Bible say about those that falsely teach it?

Galatians 1:6-9 NKJV – I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed.

This by the way was not the curse I was referring to. You see her false teaching has to do with the Tribulation in which the prophecy of these events is found in the book of Revelation. These words are found in this book:

Revelation 22:18-19 NKJV – For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

Why anyone would openly and so forcibly court this curse I cannot fathom. That is why studying the Word of God is so important. This is why I strive to help people that cross this line. As I did for this woman as well. I did it privately and for a time she was silent upon the matter. Then she crossed the line again. Thus, I had to confront her publicly and follow what we are taught by the Bible.

Galatians 6:1 NKJV – Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted.

Titus 3:10-11 NKJV – Reject a divisive man after the first and second admonition, knowing that such a person is warped and sinning, being self-condemned.

1 Timothy 5:20 NKJV – Those who are sinning rebuke in the presence of all, that the rest also may fear.

1 Timothy 6:3-5 NKJV – If anyone teaches otherwise and does not consent to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which accords with godliness, he is proud, knowing nothing, but is obsessed with disputes and arguments over words, from which come envy, strife, reviling, evil suspicions, useless wranglings of men of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain. From such withdraw yourself.

This is why it is so important to study the Word of God, and not take to word of humans over it. For from humans come the seeds that can turn to false teachings and doctrine. I have even made errors in what I taught. However, once I realized it, I corrected it and made a public statement of the error I had made to help correct the issue. Because all are human. That is why it is so important that all, especially those called to teach, like myself, that they deeply study the Bible.

Why? Because it is important to avoid false teaching and false doctrine. For those that do these things become cursed. They may live their entire lives believing they are truly living a Christian life; however, they may be surprised to encounter this:

Matthew 7:21-23 NKJV – “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’

Understand. It only takes one false teaching of what is found within the Bible to make the person doing it a false teacher. They can be totally correct about everything else in the Bible, but one teaching of one aspect of the Christian faith and belief makes it so the person teaching it is cursed.

There are several times in the NT that there are lessons about those that take the teachings in the Bible and twist them. These lessons are a general warning not to do this in anything that is taught within the Bible. However, only one book in the Bible contains a curse for that book alone. That is the warning found in Revelation. Why any would tempt this curse upon them is beyond me.

I believe the main reason behind this is due to them not studying the Bible nor in particular this book. They invite these curses upon themselves without knowing that they are doing so. I saw where one time a woman was brought upon the dais. She said she had a dream where there were nuclear explosions. Not realizing that that is adding to the prophecies of this book.

Has she seen the plagues that will happen to those that are left upon this planet once the Holy Spirit is removed from this earth? Why would any tempt these curses upon themselves?

Yet time and again people have asked for these plagues to land upon their heads. Or worse they take away from this book in its timeline for example. Basically, asking Jesus Christ to remove their name from the Book of Life. And what is to befall those whose names are not written in this Book?

Revelation 20:15 NKJV – And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.

This is why I limit the things I say from the book of Revelation. I limit it to those things that have been matched to other parts of the Bible or confirm other parts.

Any who say that the Jewish people have no part in the end times again take away from these prophecies. When they say things like this, they say God does not keep His Word. God made a promise to Abraham. God will keep this promise to its fullness. Any who doubt, deny, or diminish this call God a lie.

This is the problem with so many that profess to being “Christian.” They live in a type of haughtiness. They think that they are special and exempt from losing their salvation because they preach the Word of God. Do they not remember the way Paul himself lamented about his own weakness and seeing himself as not worthy of standing before God.

Romans 7:14-8:11 NKJV – For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am carnal, sold under sin. For what I am doing, I do not understand. For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do. If, then, I do what I will not to do, I agree with the law that it is good. But now, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me. For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing good dwells; for to will is present with me, but how to perform what is good I do not find. For the good that I will to do, I do not do; but the evil I will not to do, that I practice. Now if I do what I will not to do, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me. I find then a law, that evil is present with me, the one who wills to do good. For I delight in the law of God according to the inward man. But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? I thank God—through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with the mind I myself serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin. There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh, that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God. But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His. And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.

Many believe they are one with God. They honestly believe the Holy Spirit dwells within them. Yet they continue to live of the flesh. This is why this statement is made in these verses:

“For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.”

It is here that most that end up living 99% right with God mess up. I have another anecdote.

There is a person who posts memes of Bible verses. Yet in the background of every single one is motorcycles. What is being worshipped here? The Bible or the motorcycles? More and more I see it is possessions, materialism, the carnal. The 1% that turns this person’s memes into a false teaching.

Who is glorified?

“So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.”

Time is running up. Repentance is required and quick.

God Bless
