The wise men are ashamed, They are dismayed
and taken. Behold, they have rejected the
word of the LORD;
So what wisdom do they have?
Jeremiah 8:9
Now therefore, speak to the men of Judah
and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying,
'Thus says the LORD: "Behold, I am
fashioning a disaster and devising a plan against
you. Return now every one from his evil way,
and make your ways and your doings good."
And they said, "That is hopeless! So we will walk
according to our own plans, and we will every one
obey the dictates of his evil heart."
Jeremiah 18:11-12
Professing to be wise, they became fools,
and changed the glory of the incorruptible God
into an image made like corruptible man.
Romans 1:22
The more things change the more they stay the same.
Jeremiah and Paul in their time were dealing with
the same kind of general lack of faith and generally
speaking the same kinds of blasphemy that we are
today.
Something to notice about Paul too, He was a REAL
Christ-like Christian(extra focus on REAL). Paul
wasn't a "prosperity tickle the ears" preacher, he
wasn't a lukewarm make God into a humanistic image
fool either. As all REAL Christians(Extra focus on real)
should know when you stand for the Truth that can only
be found in Jesus Christ, you will be hated and you will
be persecuted. You see Paul knew that very well, for one
thing he himself used to be one of the persecutors,
and when Christ changed his heart he indeed felt
what it was like to be persecuted.
What did Paul do when he was persecuted? did
he change his tune? maybe speak differently of Christ?
did he just decide to make God into a fluffy humanistic
image? NO! Paul rejoiced in being persecuted! he
never once substituted the truth and tried to get
people to like him and his message more by preaching
a "Christian lite" message.
Today people claim to be wise, just like in Paul's time
and through out history. The truth of the matter is
without the fear of the LORD there is no wisdom…
just foolishness.
The Fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and
the knowledge of the HOly One is understanding.
Proverbs 9:10
and just like Romans 1:22 states, people create God
in the image of man, They cant figure Him out.
(His ways are not our ways, so how could we
ever truly figure Him out)
You see, people want to know why this or why that,
and how this and how that, and they get confused
on certain issues or things, and instead of realizing
they are truly small in the grand scheme of things,
instead of surrendering completely to God and asking
Him to open their eyes, they decide it would be better
to rebuke God then to surrender. They rebuke Him
and they blaspheme against Him and then decided
to create God in their own imperfect image.
They don't realize their god is a false god, their god
is not a god of Holiness or justice or wrath or truth,
their god is not the god of the bible and…
their god is not real at all.
Mainstream Christianity is a joke, it's nothing but false teachings and it's all about bettering yourself.
American Christianity doesn't call for repentance or surrendering
yourself to the will of God, it's more about getting God to give you what
you want. I know I keep harping on this but it's all I keep seeing from people,
I think we are in very dangerous times for the Christian faith, because Christianity
as a whole is being raped and destroyed not by the unbelievers but the very
people who claim to be believers. They are leading people down the very wide road
that doesn't lead to God at all, these people think they are saved and will cry
"Lord, Lord..." But He will say "I tell you I do not know you, where you are from.
Depart from Me, all you workers of iniquity"(Luke 13:25-27)
Go and watch this video about Glenn Beck's new book, Beck's beliefs are not
new, his beliefs are exactly what a lot of "Christians" believe and are being fed by
their pastors who are nothing but wolves in sheep's clothing. This is exactly the
kind of unChrist like dribble that I saw from Beck and warned about in his Rally
of last year. It's universalism...It's all roads lead to God and "Christians" are eating
this crap up, don't believe me? look at the book sales for "The Shack" claimed
to be a Christian book, but is nothing of the sort! watch the sales for Rob Bells
new book that he is coming out with, I'm sure Christians will eat that mindless
dribble up to! because it is a Christian-lite message of no Hell...no repentance,
and all roads lead to God, thats not what Christ preached and died for at all!
this is heresy and mainstream Christians are loving it...
