The Holy Spirit through Paul said that enemies of the Cross are declared in Philippians 3:18-19 to have their end in destruction.

Wow this has to be the worst thread I ever waded through. It was a monologue . I am sorry but I thought this was a place people posted to discuss Things with others, not to preach at people.

Slow to speak and quick to listen... take turns!!! Scripture encourages us to be orderly and respectful to one another - please brothers and sisters.

26 How is it then, brethren? Whenever you come together, each of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a tongue, has a revelation, has an interpretation. Let all things be done for edification. 27 If anyone speaks in a tongue, let there be two or at the most three, each in turn, and let one interpret. 28 But if there is no interpreter, let him keep silent in church, and let him speak to himself and to God. 29 Let two or three prophets speak, and let the others judge. 30 But if anything is revealed to another who sits by, let the first keep silent. 31 For you can all prophesy one by one, that all may learn and all may be encouraged. 32 And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets. 33 For God is not the author of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints.


But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
23 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.
24 And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,
25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;

Quoted from 1 cor 14, 2 Tim 2 and James

 

[Benadam]

Our daily Christian duty is to be found in Christ, not having our own Righteousness (self-righteousness/self-sufficiency) Phil 3:9, Gal. 2:21. i

This can only be done by our Faith in Christ and the Cross (Rom. 8:2). This is what is meant by taking up our cross daily which allows the Holy Spirit to carry out His sanctification work in us. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God has before ordained that we should walk in them. Eph. 2:10, 2 Cor. 4:10-12, Phil. 2:13

I didn't claim self righteousness



Matthew 6:33
But strive first for the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

Matt 3-22
the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction,

 

[Benadam]

Romans 6-13

No longer present your members to sin as instruments of wickedness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and present your members to God as instruments of righteousness.

Why would the Holy Spirit tell the Apostle Paul to write such a thing as this?

Why do most Christian after salvation reject keeping their faith and trust in Christ and the Cross?

Firstly those he was speaking of are those you see all over world who only care about themselves who relish in their wealth and boast of their high status who crave only after their own lusts and fleshly desires. Secondly who are you to say most Christians reject keeping their faith and trust in Christ and the cross?
Do you know their hearts? do have the authority to declare who is his or not? ture there is a difference between a Christian by title and a Christian by heart but those who are by title only were never really his to begin with those who are Christians by heart are forever by heart and forever his. before you go around looking down on others maybe take a good look at yourself first.

I said it - because Jesus said it - and that settles it! Read the Book of Revelations, chapters 2 and 3. See Matthew 7:14.

The Apostle Paul said in the last days those who call themselves Christians will have a form of Godliness, but denying the power thereof (The Cross): from SUCH TURN AWAY!!!!!!! 2 Tim 3:5

If you leave the Cross or reject the Cross by not placing your Faith in it - you enter death!

He did say there were such people but to say most Christians is simply inaccurate. True there are fake ones among the church and plenty of them but for it to be most Christians you would have to admit that there are very few people who are actually saved and you would also have to be able to somehow know the number of believers in the world and know what is in their hearts otherwise you are just making a presumptuous statement

That is what I had issue with your post it is not our place to decide how many are saved or not and in fact should not even be on our minds to begin with love does not judge or condemn especially their brothers and sisters and I say judge and condemn because that is exactly what one does when they decide that most believers are in fact not saved when only God has that authority to make such a decision

1 Corinthians 1:23 King James Version (KJV)
23 But we preach Christ Crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;

8 But even if I we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. 9 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. (Gal. 1:8-9)

If it is any message other than the Cross, then it’s false doctrine. The Apostle Paul said so (Gal. 1:8-9).”

AMEN.

You ignored all The scriptures I quoted. I don’t think you are “easy to be entreated” and so I won’t be engaging in trying to discuss anything with you.
You likely won’t listen but my advice is if you want to dominate a thread In the way you have done here, and ignore what every believer here has to say, please take it over to the blog section where you can monologue in the proper place.
You make assumptions that because someone brings correction on the manner in which you conduct yourself, they don’t believe the word of God. It is a very very bad thing. You brought your understanding of the bible
And you should have the respect and self control to leave the seed there and be patience and humble and let others bring theirs. God brings the harvest and the Spirit convicts. Not man. I won’t respond further but I hope you will respect what I and others have to say. It is done in love and with a desire to help.

For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and Him Crucified. 1 Corinthians 2:2

Until you point the Word of God to Calvary (The Blood of Jesus) it has no power.

Spare yourself the frustration; MoTC is only interested in promoting Jimmy Swaggart's misinterpretations of Scripture.
