Today is Sunday and many will be flooding to their various denominations in the name of worshipping God. When one looks at Christianity as professed by 98℅ of humans, one risk concluding with no iota of doubts that Christians have betrayed their master Jesus Christ and above all, God the creator. Christians are supposed to be christ-like in all dimensions but that is not the case. The actions they take are not christ-like, the way they speak is not christ-like, the decisions they take are not christ-like, the way they reason is not christ-like, the way they dress is not christ-like, the way they treat others is not christ-like, the way they resolve issues is not christ-like , the way they pray is not christ-like, the way they interpret the scriptures is not christ-like and above all, the way they worship God is not christ-like. Why have Christians betrayed God and their master ? Did Jesus Christ ever taught his followers to live their lives in his name and not in his character? Did Jesus Christ ever instruct his followers to prioritize theoretical Christianity to practical Christianity? Did Jesus Christ ever told his followers to remain holy and Christ-like only during church service and remain monsters out of church? Is christianity limited to biblical quotations and cramming? Is Christianity limited to fasting? Is Christianity limited to Church going? Oh no! Christians have betrayed Jesus Christ and God. Dark clouds looms in the air as concern the future of Christianity and is high time they retrace their footprints to live their lives in the character of Jesus Christ and not in the name of Jesus Christ.
Splendid Sunday.

Around 30% of the world's population identify as Christians.

In 2020, Pew estimated the number of Christians worldwide to be around 2.38 billion.

That is out of 8.1 billion people (according to the World Population Clock, 2023).

There are many people claiming Christianity that are hypocrites, and say they cannot abstain from sin, and sin everyday, but they can abstain from sin.

The more sinful a nation the more hypocritical the people claiming Christianity which is why there is so many hypocrites in America which they allow anything to be practiced religiously including Satanism, and the new age movement which they will deceive the world to follow Lucifer believing he is a god, and alien, and not a fallen angel for they do not believe in a God, and he gave mankind intelligence, and will help mankind to have peace, advance, and evolve to be spiritual, and a god, along with the New Age Christ.

The Woke movement will pave the way to the new age movement but of course who would have such a movement but America for the people are sinful, and want to have their own way, being the most selfish, and arrogant people in the history of the world.

They allow worldliness galore, and fleshy pleasures a plenty.

So there will be many hypocrites that want to enjoy the pleasures of America and believe they are saved, and do not act Christ-like.

2Ti 2:19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.

Mat 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Mat 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Those that name the name of Christ has to depart from iniquity, and that is what seals the saints.

The people that did not depart from iniquity will not be with Christ.

Heb 10:26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
Heb 10:27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.

If we hold on to sin then the blood of Christ cannot take away the sin for God will not take away a sin we hold on to.

There are millions of people that hold on to sin and then say we are saved by faith.

1Co 10:12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.

They believe they cannot fall so they enjoy sin believing it will not affect them but the Bible says different that they can fall if they do not take heed.

Rom 11:21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.
Rom 11:22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.

A person should have the right attitude when confessing Christ to abstain from sin for God does not like sin, and does not want us to do it.

If they do not continue in God's goodness they will be cut off like the Hebrews who were disobedient in the Old Testament.

2Ti 3:4 lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
2Ti 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
2Ti 3:7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

Some people deny the Spirit leading them because they want to enjoy sin which then they are led of the flesh.

They never come to the knowledge of the truth that they have to abstain from sin led by the Spirit.

The Bible says turn away from these type of people for they are hypocritical, and do not act Christ-like, and they cause people to not want to embrace Christianity because of their hypocrisy.

Gal 5:16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
Gal 5:18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
Gal 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
Gal 5:23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
Gal 5:24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.

1Co 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

And there is no excuse why a person that confesses Christ cannot abstain from sin for a Spirit led life will not fulfill the lusts of the flesh, for they have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts, and God will not allow them to be tempted above that you are able, and will make a way to escape the temptation so you can bear it.

A Spirit led life is not under the law because they are not sinning therefore the law cannot touch them for prosecution.

If they hold on to sin then they are under the law.

Millions of people claiming Christianity saying we are only human so we cannot stop sinning, we are flesh so we cannot stop sinning, but there is no excuse for why they cannot abstain from sin.

But many people deny the power thereof having a form of godliness, and enjoy sin holding on to it, and believe it will not cause them to fall, but if they hold on to sin then the sins are not washed away, and it is on their record.

1Co 13:13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

1Co 13:4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
1Co 13:5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
1Co 13:6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
1Co 13:7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

Charity, love in action, works, is greater than faith, and faith works by love, and love is the fulfilling of the law.

John said do not love in word, nor in tongue, but in deed,. works, and in truth.

If a person does not help people with their needs whatever it may be then their faith is not valid for they do not have the right perspective of God, and His kingdom, that He loves people, and for us to help them with their needs.

Love is greater than faith, and can only be valid is if it done in works, and not in tongue for how did that really help them.

Also since love is the greatest asset we can have, and we are not saved without love, it says that love does not think an evil thought, and does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth, which is to allow the Spirit to lead them abstaining from sin.

So the hypocrites that do not act Christ-like holding on to sin they do not have love then their faith is not valid to be saved.

1Jn 5:2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.
1Jn 5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

Joh 14:21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
Joh 14:24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.

Didn't exempt myself. Shifting blame is a good example of my writeup. I learn, I examine myself, I change. I don't judge. Heaven is not a collective ...

There is not a specific allegation to shift blame from. Merely some generalized ad hominems. My accusation to you is using levying the generalizations and ad hominem. You accused Christendom of some nebulous, meaningless something that is supposed to egual some evil with no specifics. I accuse you of making an attack against Christendom that can not be substantiated or defended against because there is no specific allegations.

I am a Christian, I am not accusing Christians you rightly said. I was accusing myself (my message "I am not exempted). This is a Sunday message I enjoyed and I still love it. I saw my myself faulted in an area. I understood why the message was preached and to me, it was worthy.

Sin is rampant in the church whether you accept it or not. You could tell me not in you life, not in your church but the knowledge we have may not be enough. I can with doubt, from whom I met still emphasize that most Christians are theoretical.

You dont even know 1% of Christians, yet you accuse the vast majority of some nebulous betrayal.
If you are not comfortable with my statement, permit me to say I had betrayed Christ. May he have mercy on me and lead me through the right path

If my English is not very good, I beg your pardon. I am more of French expression
Love and prayers

My his grace be enough for a sinners like me. May his compassion locate me and may his anointing be with me.
He came down from Heaven to Earth to die for sinners.

Mark 2:17
“When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”

This is a much more acceptable statement.

I am a zealous defender of Christendom which includes you.
