This is what I was talking about just the other day..
Satan, the Synagogue of Satan as the bible commonly referred to them, or scribes and Pharisees to some, changed and twisted the scriptures to try to get Christ himself to bow down to their own lies and prove that Jesus wasn't the prophetic Christ that many of the early bibles scriptures spoke of all the way back to the beginning. They quoted Abraham to try to trick him and make people believe that he wasn't the real Christ.. You hear certain sects of religion doing this EXACT same thing right now proclaiming themselves as "The Abrahamic lines still teaching that Christ is a prophet or false prophet.. Just like the bible said they'd come in the end time and deceive many"
They came at Christ using "Abrahamic" quotes , their belief in Abrahamic laws and teachings and actually tried to use the scriptures against Christ himself..
They misled, lied, just like they do today in many cults of religion that now proclaim themselves to be Christian.
Christianity in many wings and "denominations" has been fornicated and things that some sects of Christianity themselves, today , teach this that are not biblical. I'm not going to try to break them down but some of them fornicate and twist things about even the God head and makeup itself
They'll take one or a handful of scriptures out of context and build an entire cult of fornicated ideology around it.. Breaking off into small groups.. Most of these sects have came about in the last few centuries and they ALL believe or say ""Well we're right but you're wrong" and you have millions of people following these groups started up by this religious "sect" leader.. They've sectioned and dissected Christianity into so many venues and beliefs, that many Christians today won't even fellowship with other Christian groups or people because they believe a little different..
I've seen it many times over the years.. I've seen die hard Christian groups at churches that I've been to that preach hell and damnation and I've seen preachers get up in the pulpit and practically call out other people when they've visited those churches telling those people "If you don't believe like I do, then you're going to hell"..
Well, Frankly, I believe that those people that are intentionally or ignorantly leading people to believe things that are not based on the bible are going to hell. I don't believe for one second that the bible is wrong. I believe that people interpret things in the bible in the wrong way and then they end up teaching dogmatism and incorrect biblical teachings that aren't supported by God's word nor are of any sound doctrine or teaching..
I'm not directing this specifically at Christianity although that's the one I'm talking about right now, because it happens in all major "religious sects'..
This is why the bible tells people over and over to read, study, show yourself approved, a workman until God that need not be ashamed so that you can "Right divide the word of truth"..
The bible also tells you to "work out your own salvation WITH FEAR AND TREMBLING".. There's where people get into trouble. They work out their own salvation but they don't do it from the bible and they don't do it "trembling' at what God's word says will happen, when they do the wrong thing. When they teach people false doctrines or they twist the scriptures to fit their own ideals or just as bad or worse, they won't teach the bible..
That's the worst of it all in my opinion. They just won't teach the bible. They won't teach sound doctrine.. They are scared of offending people.. Pastors won't get into the bible and read it , understand it so that they can "rightly divide the word of truth" so for many years, they teach people things that aren't biblical nor of sound doctrine. They'd rather passify their flocks than offend them..Some of them even do it for money.. Some of them do it because they don't want to "bend" to the truth of what God requires of them and so they won't get deep into the word because they don't WANT to understand it.
Some of them just don't put in the time. Some don't have the skills to really understand it and some shouldn't be teaching or preaching at all unless they're willing to read the bible and understand it so that they don't teach people false things..
Every seed takes time to grow , but once you've been in the church for years, you have to grow. You have to read the bible so that you get a Godly type understanding of the scripture of what those things mean from a biblical perspective so that you recognize the signs of things around you and so that you'll know when a preacher or teacher is teaching something that isn't biblical..
They're not always teaching people the wrong thing because they're doing it with bad intent in their heart, but it takes time, due diligence and years to even start to begin to understand the bible and interpret it in a way that a Christian should. From a biblical perspective of what it actually means.. You have to somewhat understand biblical history and how it correlated to the time it was written and if you don't spend the time to understand some things in the bible that have to do with nations during bible times, and how they correlate with who - what nations - tribes those are today, then you won't understand bible prophecy at all .
Salvation and being saved and being drawn to God through Christ and the Holy Spirit, the Trinity are very important aspects of Christianity and the basis of what the Bible - Christian ideology teaches. People need to understand it in a biblical way and just as they need to understand that being Christian requires a lot more than going to church and jumping up and down and praising God on Sunday.
My old Aunt who was one of the most devout , best , Sweetest human beings that any person could ever meet or love, died a couple of years back. She was the sweetest most Christian like person you'd ever meet. She spent her live working for the Church and all she wanted was for people to understand the bible and be saved..
Nothing in life mattered to her more than helping people and teaching people about God's word. She was never dogmatic .. She was never went up to people and accosted them .. She always asked them to "'why don't you come to church with me on Sunday " , or she'd invite any stranger into her home, didn't matter if they were black or white , a dirt poor beggar, a crack head , preacher or a rich person. She didn't care about who had what or what they thought.
She lived a humble life her entire life.. Feeding the poor. Helping everybody she met.. Taking in elderly people and caring for some of them for free for years. Never getting a dime from any of it .. She lived off of her small pension and used it to pay the basic bills.. She hauled anyone that needed it back and forth to the doctor, to church , anywhere they needed to go that she could help..
If someone got sick, she ran to the hospital to take them whatever she could afford to take them. Food, snacks, sometimes it wasn't much , but just let them know that somebody cared. She went to the nursing homes for many years teaching on Sundays about God ( as did my parents until they couldn't do it any longer) .. They ministered in the jails and prison system. They went to other churches and worshipped there even though they didn't believe exactly the same.
As you become more and more Christ like , then you start to understand the bible and you start to truly understand that there are many aspects to Christianity.. I personally believe that there are many people that are better Christ like people , that don't go to church , than a WHOLE LOT of people that do although I do believe just like the bible and I believe that people need to be with other Christians to help them grow..
You have to work out your own Salvation WITH FEAR AND TREMBLING. You have to ask God , Is this what you want me to do? Teach me Lord , tell me what to do? Show me in the scripture what to do? Help me to understand it in the way that it is meant. We don't get it all right. We aren't all perfect. We just have to keep on trying.. No man is perfect as the bible says. God in Heaven is perfect .. But, we have to strive for perfection .. It's a hard target , and we won't reach it here , but when we go to church we have to hear with open ears what God is telling us and we have to read the bible.. '
My old pastor who died a few years back after over 70 years of teaching, always told people ""Read your bibles, bring your bibles to church" Read it when you get home, don't take my word for it, I'm not always right".. He was a great teacher and preacher by the way.. He didn't selectively choose and pick here and there what he taught. He "offended' many people over the years that came and left. Not because he was trying to , he was just teaching the bible. He taught it all.
Just like my old aunt who invited everyone to church with the sweetest of temperaments or my dad and mom who were that way. They asked you to come in and eat.. They invited people into their homes no matter what religion, color or belief and gave them a meal.. Didn't care if they were an old drunk, gay, straight or someone who had done all sorts of things. Then they invited them to church.
You teach people the bible. When those people came to church, my aunt was a preacher ( many people don't believe women can be preachers or pastors) but this woman was a preacher. When people got to church, they heard God's word if she was up front. People loved her and they knew she was a Christian. . They knew just what to expect when she preached.. She preached prophecy and she preached hell fire and damnation and people, Christians , EVERYBODY she knew loved her.. Same with my parents. Because they were Christ like. They showed Christian love no matter to who not caring how "bad" these people were in the eyes of other people , even Christians, who looked down upon them.
Like my old pastor used to say ""you can't be a Christian if your light down shine" or " if you hide your light under a bushel" as those old Christian church songs we were taught as children talked about.
Don't let false prophets tempt you and teach you the wrong things. Don't take everything I say as 100% correct. I talk about things that I believe based on the bible. I don't consider myself to be baptist Methodist or any other sect or religion. I consider myself to be a human being that believes the bible .. I believe in God , I believe that Christ is the true sent from heaven son of the Almighty , I believe in the Holy spirit and the Holy trinity.
I believe that for you and me to make it to heaven we have to try as hard as we can and that when we make ugly mistakes, we have to pray.. We have to pray daily and ask God to guide us and help us to understand the bible and most of all, "Work out our own salvation WITH FEAR AND TREMBLING".. That's the key.. The fear of God. The fear of the almighty. It's not a scare tactic. The bible and God isn't trying to scare people. It's trying to tell us what will happen if we do good, and it's telling us what's going to happen if we do bad..
God vs Devil mean Good vs Evil ..
Notice the similarities in the spelling
Sorry that wasn't mean to be a sermon but the pastor is right.. The temptation of Christ is a very good representation of what these people are doing today. They come in the name of God and Good , pretending to do good, but their intent is to deceive and destroy.. They are truly representative of "The Anti-Christ' the spirt of deceit that the bible talks about will fool billions in the end time.
