When false stuff is happening in Christendom, is the reason many don’t notice it or care about it because they are also false, so it doesn’t seem false to them?

Both our intellect and the Holy Spirit should work together.
God said the New Covenant is when He writes His laws and commands in our hearts and minds.
Heart and mind – Spirit and intellect.
Hebrews 8:10
“For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.”

Central to Woke ideology is the notion that if you disagree with them then you must hate them, and therefore you are a menace to society, a “right wing extremist”. They are blackmailing society with this false dichotomy.

Galatians 6:3
“For if anyone thinks himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself.”
.
.

It means everyone is a ZERO, a “nothing”, when we come before God as sinners, our nature fallen and degraded by sin.
We come to Him spiritually bankrupt.
By faith He makes us a new creation.
Now, we are still a “nothing”, BUT now we are IN CHRIST.
Being in Christ doesn’t make us “somebody”, because any good thing we now possess comes from Him. We can’t take any credit for it, and we want Him to get all the glory, so we no longer desire to be “somebody” but are happy being a “nobody” in Him.
Let us heed the warning. If we think we are a “somebody” we deceive ourselves, we are self deceived.
This is totally the opposite of what popular preachers teach.
This is perhaps one of the main reasons we get ourselves into trouble, when we think we’re a somebody, when we’re really a nobody.
Pride is a state of delusion before the Throne of God.

The issue with the New Testament church pattern versus the traditional church system is not merely a legal technicality, it’s a question of which kingdom is represented: the kingdom of God or the kingdoms of man, the kingdoms of this world?
A 1 Cor. 14 format presupposes that the Holy Spirit wants to speak through a number of people during a church meeting, and that’s the whole purpose of assembling as a church, to hear what the Holy Spirit is speaking through the body of Christ.
Therfore, a church system which does not allow this must be against the Holy Spirit speaking through the body.
It would actually be against the Kingdom of God.

A church is a people held together by the love of Christ. There are many organizations: religious, cultural, political or social etc. in the world, but none of them is held together solely by the love of God as the true church is. It’s a living miracle, a testimony to Jesus Christ.

When a cultural Christian sees a scripture they immediately categorize it in their mind as a “religious” subject, and thus theoretical or philosophical, and therefore not applicable to how they are living moment by moment.
Because God’s word is not written in their heart.
They might think it’s interesting, but it’s not life to them.

The meaning of our life is defined by our destination.
As Christians, our destination is to be face to face with Jesus Christ for all eternity in His Kingdom.
So, this destination defines the meaning of our daily lives.

Some have very comfortable lives.
Some endure extreme suffering.
Some live their dreams. Others endure boring monotony year after year.
But in the end no one in Christ misses out.
So, whether you get everything you want in this life, or whether life deals you a rotten hand, in the end you get your incredible reward if you remain faithful to the Lord Jesus Christ.

Revelation 18:4-5

There is no peace for the wicked, the Bible says.

A true Christian elder (not leader) never seeks:
- Your money
- Your possessions
- Your praise
- Your honor
- Your glory
- Your thanks
- Your time
- Your obedience
- Your submission
- Your loyalty
- Your agreement
- Your devotion
What they seek is you really come to know Jesus Christ.
……
Self glory dishonors God.

There’s nothing about true Christianity of which you could call it a religion.

True prayer is borne out of great dependency on God.
The self sufficient can never know God in the same way as those dependent on Him do.

I’m sure God won’t judge someone for a wrong understanding of the Book of Revelation, as no one has perfect understanding, but someone who twists scriptures and uses evasive literary devices is a fraud, so, it would not be good to have Him judge you as a fraud on Judgment Day, even though you believe you’re a Bible scholar.
Slippery false teachers say they have an “interpretation” of the Book of Revelation, but when you look at their interpretation it’s not an interpretation, it’s simply double talk, which reveals they don’t believe it. So, instead of coming out and saying they don’t believe it, they offer their “interpretation” instead.
Regarding the Book of Revelation, one of the false assumptions which crops up is, that because the book was addressed and sent to the seven churches in Asia-Miinor (Turkey) this means everything prophesied in it applied to those people at that time. The reasoning is, what good would it be to write to them of things which would take place in future generations?
That would be like assuming that when you see a prophecy anywhere in scripture that it applied only to the people living at that time. Whereas the opposite is mostly true.
Even “if” the Book of Revelation were not fulfilled in our generation, it still speaks to us because it reveals the nature of the Lord Jesus Christ (who is the center of the Book) and it warns and prepares us, and it opens our eyes to the glorious future God has provided for those that love Him.
This is why the first century saints were promised a blessing when they read the Book, even though much of it was still future for them (Rev. 1:3).
And of course, they had the responsibility to preserve the text for future generations.
As we can also be mightily blessed reading it today.
86Personally, I do believe it will be fulfilled in this generation.
…..
God created the universe by speaking one word.
He will destroy it by speaking one word.
He will create a new earth and universe by speaking one word.
It only takes one word from Him.
We really have no clue about such power because we are trapped within our own small minds and our limited, superficial world.
It would be like trying to teach a flea about the power of an elephant. The flea can’t relate to it as his world is much smaller.

Christian, you are now in the process of being prepared to rule with Jesus Christ forever in His Kingdom. Enjoy this preparation time.

God’s words are neither positive or negative, they are simply true.
…..
One of the reasons religious rituals and traditions were created was to justify the existence of a religious system and perpetuate it. Create tradition, then create a system to maintain it.
If there was Biblical faith and fellowship, such as was in the first century, there would be no grounds for a religious system.
To some extent the Lord Jesus came up against this with the Judaism of the day.
He encountered a system which departed from God and existed to feed and line the pockets of an elite few.
So, their main interest in upholding tradition was to feed the cow which they milked. It was a real cash cow, or the goose which lays the golden eggs.

Woke ideology has the power to brainwash people into hating someone, and they don’t even know why they feel that way, they just do.
…..
If you study the life of any heretic you usually find a narcissist at heart: someone in love with himself.
…..
If you were the devil, how would you try and destroy Christianity?
You could have several options open to you:
One is you could create another religion with the express purpose of killing the infidel Christians.
But a more sinister, deceptive method would be to twist the Gospel and create a fake Christian religion, so that people think they are Christians when they’re not.
Another would be to infiltrate true Christianity with fake interpretations of the Bible so that Christians start justifying sin, greed, covetousness or immorality, and thus become spiritually dead.
…..
The key operative word to describe Woke ideology is “control”.
They want to control you: what you think, what you feel, what you believe, and what you will do or not do.
They will control your feelings toward political leaders, and quickly chastise you if you don’t toe the line.
They will control your views on morality or sexuality, on vaccines, on climate change etc..
Woe to the person who doesn’t conform.
…..
Here’s some heresy:
Quote: “The Gospel will grow and will win! At some point the world will become Christianized by a slow process. Then Christ will return one day and raise the dead, deliver the Kingdom to the Father and destroy death. The saved will enjoy the gift of immortality and the unsaved will receive the wages of sin…death.” unquote
.
It sounds “positive”, right? How could something “positive” be false?
Answer: If your positivity is a lie, then it’s not very positive. You can’t spin a lie into something positive.
If you dismiss the Book of Revelation (as this guy is doing) then what happens?
Revelation 22:18-19
“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.”
……
A guy was calling his false Bible teaching a “hermeneutic”, perhaps with the thought that by tagging this theological label onto it then it lends it credibility, like, ‘Oh, it’s a hermeneutic! Then it must be okay’. The theological jargon tricks the simple minded.
But a heresy is not a hermeneutic, it’s a lie.
……
The Lord’s Table was and is the real EASTER.
…..
Someone told me they were listening to a spiritual teacher and they took note of the parts which agree with scripture and ignore the rest. Now, if a teaching does not agree with scripture then it’s a lie. So, the guy is sometimes speaking truth and sometimes lying. So, why are you listening to him at all?
…..
You’re reading or listening to the Bible with the same Spirit which wrote it. That’s how God intended it.
……
Man-made Christian festivals are observed by genuine Christians in a God honoring way.
Yet, they could honor Him just as much without observing the festivals.
But with nominal Christians, which comprise the majority, festivals are a dubious exercise. It is that special time to atone for all the weeks and months they ignored God, and feel they have compensated for that by turning up at church on those days.
….
I wouldn’t think I’m honoring God more by observing a man-made tradition than I would by just living my life day by day for Him.
……
The first problem with Christian festivals is they were man’s idea and not God’s. This is the first issue to grapple with.

The prosperity gospel is also a derivative of the Biblical concept of God giving temporal blessings for obedience.
Where it goes astray is it turns this Biblical concept into a formula for success and thereby God is used by man for his own greed or covetousness.

God is perfect.
And we are not.
So, the only way we can be with Him is to be perfect.
And we know it is impossible for us to make ourselves perfect.
So, we are lost in our sins with no way out.
But God made a way. Jesus is the way.
So, God makes us perfect by faith, because Jesus legally carried all our sins upon Himself on the cross, shedding His blood and dying on our behalf, and rising again to be our Justifier.
God brings us into His Son, so He sees us in Christ, clothed with His righteousness.
So we can boldly approach the throne of God.
Hebrews 10:12-14
“But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God, from that time waiting till His enemies are made His footstool. For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.”
