'Correction is grievous to them that FORSAKE THE WAY, and they that hate reproof shall die (live spiritually dead).
The word of God is for reproof, correction, exhortation and rebuking.. 2Tim 3:16
Mens ideas, traditions, and personal beliefs are not for reproof, correction, or exhortation. God's word is.
Ive been a source of pain to many on this site. Grievance for sure. But I use the word of God. Not some 'churches' program or best loved MO's and held beliefs.
Im not here to 'get along'. I'm here to teach the truths of Christ. A risky task at best, doesn't tell the half of it. That's why Christendom is in the sorry state it's in. No one wants to 'rock the boat'. Go along to get along. The 'word' be hanged. Fearful of being despised and rejected, of being accused of being a bomb thrower, a trouble maker, disfellowshipped, cast out, snubbed.
'And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness (the way our 'pastor' directs it) rather than light, because their deeds were evil. (Hierarchy pride, tithe lust) John 3:19
I shine the light of clear cut scripture on this site exposing the darkness and men and women want to beat the snot out of me....because their deeds are evil. Pride gets in the way. Church fallacies which reign supreme, set in 1700 years of unmovable Roman stone.
The Whore of Revelation has 'many daughters' prostituting the gospel for fun and profit. Rev. 17:5
'Because lawlessness (forsaking scripture to do church they way they want to do it) shall abound, the love of many (Christians) shall wax cold. Matt. 24:12
Lacking natural affection, ungrateful, etc., etc.. 2Tm. 3:3
All the fruit of FLESH. If we love Jesus, we'll keep His commands (do things His way, not ours), and if we keep His commands, we'll then love Jesus, for His Spirit will no longer be quenched. 1Thess. 5:19. Imagine that.
