Discussion
The title of this podcast is aimed at those that profess they are “Christian.” Those that go to the buildings called churches at least once a week, but most likely go more than this. Those that without question or doubt give their ten percent tithe. Yet they live in comfort within their luxuries. Playing or watching golf on their huge, screened TVs. Going to their jobs every single day, and even working overtime if it is required. Working toward their retirement seeking their multi-million-dollar 401ks and/or pension plans. Planning upon their multiple homes filled with all the items they can seek after and acquire to show that they have succeeded and are special. All the time going further and further away from God to the point of eternal damnation.
As anger rises within them at hearing these words, they give verification to the truth that has just been said as shown with these verses from Galatians:
Galatians 5:19-21 NKJV – Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
For is not everything they seek after considered “selfish ambitions?” Is not the rising anger an outburst of wrath? Do they not display jealousy with others having more and better houses and luxuries than they have?
Jesus said this after one of His parables:
Luke 16:13-15 NKJV – “No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.” Now the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, also heard all these things, and they derided Him. And He said to them, “You are those who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts. For what is highly esteemed among men is an abomination in the sight of God.
They derided their Messiah for telling them what is now being said in this podcast. Those that are angry and protesting are in fact deriding what is being stated here in this podcast. Thus making them equal to the Pharisees. How does Christ reply to those very religious men?
“You are those who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts. For what is highly esteemed among men is an abomination in the sight of God.”
“For what is highly esteemed among men is an abomination in the sight of God.”
What is highly esteemed amongst men today?
A huge house or multiple homes. A huge salary. Multiple vehicles, the more expensive the better. Fancy and expensive clothes. Multiple large screen TVs. Expensive luxuries all for a person or family.
All an abomination in the sight of God. Just as shown would be the case when it was close for Jesus Christ to return and cause the tribulation to occur as witnessed in the last letter to the seven churches in the second and third chapters of the book of Revelation.
Revelation 3:15-17 NKJV – “I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth. Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked—
“Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’”
And how does the Glorified Jesus Christ really see them:
“And do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked.” Also Christ said this earlier:
“I will vomit you out of My mouth.”
To be violently spued out of the Body of Christ. Means to no longer be able to qualify as a follower of Christ. Let’s define the word “disciple.”
Disciple – G3101 – mathétés – a learner, pupil
- pupil – one who has been taught or influenced by a famous or distinguished person
- taught is to teach – a: to cause to know something;
b: to cause to know how;
c: to accustom to some action or attitude;
d: to cause to know the disagreeable consequences of some action.
When you think on these definitions you come to one conclusion. Any who call themselves “Christian” in their hearts has commit to being a disciple of Jesus Christ. For these definitions equate to these very principles found within the Word of God. Therefore, all are disciples who assume the moniker of “Christian.”
Any who says they are not a disciple of Jesus Christ therefore are not “Christian.” In Luke chapter fourteen Jesus Christ defines what is required to be His follower, His disciple:
Luke 14:25-33 NKJV – Now great multitudes went with Him. And He turned and said to them, “If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple. And whoever does not bear his cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple. For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first and count the cost, whether he has enough to finish it— lest, after he has laid the foundation, and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him, ‘This man began to build and was not able to finish.’ Or what king, going to make war against another king, does not sit down first and consider whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand? Or else, while the other is still a great way off, he sends a delegation and asks conditions of peace. So likewise, whoever of you does not forsake all that he has cannot be My disciple.
A direct command from Jesus Christ:
“So likewise, whoever of you does not forsake all that he has cannot be My disciple.”
Per this statement by Jesus Christ Himself. Any who keep their earthly wealth, seek after earthly luxuries, houses and vehicles are NOT “Christians.” If they go to a building called a “church,” and give their ten percent tithe. As well as keep and seek after earthly comforts and wealth, they are nothing but religious people pretending to be of a group that calls themselves “Christian.” Which per Jesus Christ Himself they are an abomination in the sight of His Father: God. Who sees them as equal to the antichrist and those that follow that person. Consequently, their names are not written in the Book of Life and their destiny is what?
Revelation 20:15 NKJV – And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.
Isaiah 66:24 NKJV – “And they shall go forth and look Upon the corpses of the men Who have transgressed against Me. For their worm does not die, And their fire is not quenched. They shall be an abhorrence to all flesh.
Christ gives them a chance:
Revelation 3:18-19 NKJV – I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent.
To be zealous is to act quickly to fix the mistakes you have taken. Not tomorrow or next week, but now. Downsize now. Sell off your luxuries and multiple vehicles. Get rid of your expensive clothes and start to buy inexpensive clothes. Give away what you can’t sell to those in need and be ready to help those that have suffered due to natural disasters. Just as we are instructed to do in the Bible.
1 Timothy 6:17-19 NKJV – Command those who are rich in this present age not to be haughty, nor to trust in uncertain riches but in the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy. Let them do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to give, willing to share, storing up for themselves a good foundation for the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.
We are promised no earthly rewards or luxuries by God or His Son. All our rewards will come when we begin to live our eternal lives. Any who seek after anything here in this temporal reality seek after sin and living in sin.
Matthew 16:24-27 NKJV – Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? For the Son of Man will come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He will reward each according to his works.
So, repent of your sin of hypocrisy of living in both religion and in the world. Choose your fate. Either surrender all and follow Jesus Christ or keep all and, in the near future, take the chip into your hand which is the mark of the beast and confirm to all that it is Satan you follow and worship and not Jesus Christ.
For that is what you are saying with your actions, your works, at this very moment by living as you do now. For faith without works that reflect the teachings of the Bible are dead, just as those that reject the Truth of the Word of God are dead in the eyes of God.
James 2:26 NKJV – For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
It is this death in the sight of God this podcast is trying to make those reading or listening aware of. It is this death that allows Jesus Christ to say He never knew them.
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!’
Repent and downsize as quickly as possible, for time is quickly running out. For the first rapture is swiftly approaching.
God Bless
