Discussion

One of the greatest sorrows that is witnessed in this world today, is the belief that all you need say is: “I believe in Jesus” and call yourself a “Christian” and you are all set for an eternal life in heaven.

This is a lie. PERIOD.

Stop. Stop getting angry. Stop saying that what you are reading or hearing here is BS.

Listen. Pay attention. Learn. First step. If you did get angry at what was just said listen to the Bible.

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.

“Hatred.” “Contentions.” “Outbursts of wrath.”

All of these are words that reflect anger that is what was just expressed just now. What is the fate of any that shows this type of anger?

“Those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.”

Now we have to truly understand the pretext of these words written to the Galatians. These were people that had asked Jesus to be their Savior. They had been baptized. They were saved. Yet, what is the very first thing written to the people of Galatia after the greeting?

Galatians 1:6-10 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. For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ.

They started listening to a false gospel. A gospel that used the Truth and the Name of Christ. However, it was not the Truth any longer. What was it they were listening to? This is answered in the tenth verse, so I will address this with a different translation.

Galatians 1:10 AMP – Now am I trying to win the favor of men, or of God? Do I seek to please men? If I were still seeking popularity with men, I should not be a bond servant of Christ (the Messiah).

“Do I seek to please men.” “If I were still seeking popularity with men.”

Now understand. Most that stand upon the dais and face the crowd seek to please those listening to them. This means they are not bond servants of God. They are false teachers. They are twice over cursed to damnation. For they are not leading people to Salvation, but along with them to damnation. Because the message they are teaching does not teach those listening to stop living in the sins listed in the fifth chapter of the letter to the people of Galatia.

Accordingly, the larger the building called a “church” and the larger the congregation that goes to these buildings are in truth already damned. Especially if they show any of the sins given in chapter 5. So, I will restate them once again.

“Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like.”

I remember back to my early days of my Christian life. I remember wanting to inform parents about the subtle influence of Satan in cartoons that was leading their children away from Christ. I went to a large church one Sunday morning and I was placing flyers upon windows of vehicles in the parking lot. I was approached by a man who confronted me and then cursing chased me out of the church parking lot. I didn’t realize it then. As I do now that this was varication that this large “church” was not in the service of God, but Satan. As are all buildings that use the word “church.” The bigger the closer to Satan than to God.

Once again. A building that is called a “church” is not the Church of God. It is those that profess to following Jesus Christ and live a life as taught within the Word of God.

Now right here someone will protest saying we must gather together.

Hebrews 10:24-25 NKJV – And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.

Gathering together in a building that preaches false teachings is not the gathering of fellow Christians. This is actually done more on social media than in buildings or even homes. This is the Truth and any who challenge it wish to be pleased. Marking them as people from Galatia not the Body of Christ. Therefore, as many in Galatia they are not welcome in the kingdom of God.

Angry again? Really? More varication. There is a need to start listening to the Truth and not something that tickles your ears.

2 Timothy 3:16- 4:4 NKJV – All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom: Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.

“For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.”

Well the time has come when people do not endure sound doctrine. They seek to have their own desires met. Their comforts, their riches, their possessions, their property. For they have turned away from the Truth and ARE turning aside to fables.

How is it I know they are turning aside to fables?

We don’t have to go far. Let’s look at the extremely popular TV series “The Chosen.”

I watched the first three episodes. All I encountered was false teachings and outright lies. Even things that were said and done that have absolutely no historical or Biblical foundation.

A fable is defined as a short story that tells a general truth or is only partly based on fact, or literature of this type.

“Or is partly based on fact.”  If only part of it is based upon fact the rest of it is based upon what?

A lie. That makes the entire thing a lie. And who created lies?

John 8:44 NKJV – You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.

Since “The Chosen” is a fable aka lies. It is of Satan not of God and must be rejected. However, again there will be anger and laughter. Because it makes people feel good. They are pleased by what they hear and see. So, again as reflected in the first chapter of Galatians those that made it are twice cursed. Not by my word, but the Word of God.

Cursed to damnation for they are leading those that watch and praise it not to heaven but to the lake of fire. For there is no such thing as once saved always saved. For that would imply that God shows favoritism, which is opposite of what is taught by the word of God.

Romans 2:6-11 NLT – He will judge everyone according to what they have done. He will give eternal life to those who keep on doing good, seeking after the glory and honor and immortality that God offers. But he will pour out his anger and wrath on those who live for themselves, who refuse to obey the truth and instead live lives of wickedness. There will be trouble and calamity for everyone who keeps on doing what is evil—for the Jew first and also for the Gentile. But there will be glory and honor and peace from God for all who do good—for the Jew first and also for the Gentile. For God does not show favoritism.

These Words in Romans were aimed directly at those professing to be “Christian.” Again those living in sin and yet professing to be followers of Christ. It is made clear they shall face judgement.

Now one of the things people that cling to OSAS and faith alone is these verses.

Revelation 20:4-6 NKJV – And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.

Now this resurrection is shown to take place and occurs in Revelation Chapter 7. This is shown to take place at the middle of the Tribulation. However, it is said elsewhere in the Bible that Christ will return as a thief in the night. This shows two separate events for at the middle of the tribulation the sun and the moon’s light will be cut in half. That is a sign a portent. Then Christ could not come as a thieve in the night for there are warning signs. The sun and the moon. Therefore, this clearly shows multiple raptures  form what is called the first resurrection.

All that are resurrected up to the middle of the tribulation are included in the first resurrection. Now what does these verses in Revelation chapter twenty say?

“Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.”

Those that truly follow the teachings of Christ and are either in the first or second rapture will never stand in judgement.

One of those popular people that stand upon the dais said that if you are a true disciple of Christ. That WHEN you stand before the judgement throne you will be passed and go on to glory. This is opposite of what we just heard from the Word of God. Consequently, this labels this man as what he truly is a man pleasing those listening. So we once again return to Galatians one showing he is twice cursed. And those that pack the pews are loving having their ears tickled with this man’s people pleasing message.

Believing they will come into heaven no matter how they live their lives.  Once again, totally opposite what is taught within the Word of God.

It must be understood. There is still a little time left to all to fix their relationship with God. Do you know how many people that I know for a fact that profess to being “Christian” and go to the buildings called “church.” However, they do behave in the ways listed in Galatians 5. Or they live in the sins listed in Romans 1.

Romans 1:28-32 NKJV – And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.

Repent. Downsize. Live a needs-only lifestyle. Remove the sins. Remove the sins. Remove the sins.

God Bless
