Worshiping God and not men

[7angel]

Matthew 23: 1-12

1 Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to his disciples

2 and said, "In the chair of Moses have sat the scribes and Pharisees.

3 You must therefore do and observe what they tell you, but do not imitate their behavior, because they say and do not.

So act the hypocrites say one thing but do other

4 They tie up heavy burdens and lay them on men's shoulders, but they themselves will not lift a finger to move them.

According to the "ancient and modern Pharisees of which are full the different Christian religions" - force to people, imposing heavy charge - or going to hell, but they likewise exempt - and the love of neighbor? What about the love of God?

5 All their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad the phylacteries good and well the long tassels;

6 want first place at feasts and the best seats in the synagogues,

7 to be greeted in the marketplaces and have people call them 'Rabbi. "

When I see the pope, cardinals and bishops dressed, as Jesus mentioned - I am seeing Pharisees who are in first place, and wander looking for praise and to be called Father "or my shepherd" - when I see these pastors in their mega church where they do their business and earn large sums of money, I see the antichrist - that do the opposite of what Jesus teaches us in his Gospel.

8 "You, however, not to be called" Rabbi ", for one is your Master, and you are all brothers.

9 - call no one "Father" in your earth, for one is your Father in heaven.

10 Nor you to be called "Directors" because you have one, the Christ.

No religion of over 30,000 "Christian" denominations in the world comply these commandments, therefore, all are antiChrist

11 The greatest among you shall be your servant.

Do you think the pope lives and acts as Christ did? - Christ is dressed like a Pharisee? - No, absolutely not - Christ came to serve and he did - but not only speak of the conduct of the pope, but also of all pastors and ministers who are just wolves - in sheep's clothing, and - eat the sheep, and so long prayers to devour the goods of unwary by a false and distorted gospel. none serves his neighbor,because serving others is serving God

Matthew 25

37. Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and gave you food, or thirsty and give you drink?

38. When did we see you a stranger and welcome thee, or naked and clothe you?

39. When did we see you sick or in prison, and visit you? "

40. And the King will answer them, "Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of these my brethren, you did it to me."

On your way to serious wisdom now.

Fast and pray and GOD will bring a serious increase.

Just this is a level of faith very few get to realize.

Yet there is much more, but this basic understanding helps understand why the world is what and where it is; as well as the evils of human life.

Grace and peace to you (and all)

The Pharisees, suddacees, sandhrins, and Jew leaders ( jew doesnt mean the " race")were lawyers, scholars, doctors, and in various places of authority at that time.

They also had children and they rule in their place today; still doing the same evils.

This is why Jesus says, " be wise as a snake and harmless as a dove".

Because many will learn from them before they barely can speak( school, education, etc....), being taught to learn and do many things against GOD. This even a clearer understanding of why we are born into sin ( other than just Adam and eve).

This is why Jesus said to HIS disciples that there is many things to tell you but you would not understand. Also HE said there will be people after HIM that will door more than HIM ( in spreading ministry and prophecy but being used by HIM!! Amen).

One has to have a great spiritual eye and heart dedicated to the LORD in order to see the full traits of the Pharisees. They are everywhere along with the devil and the 3rd of the angels that are captive here on earth; wreaking havoc on humans ( believers or not).

Weak believers support them ( and that's many).

Afraid believers isolate and go into prayer ( and that's many)

Afraid believers want to fight and go to war and protest ( and that's many)

Steadfast believers live in this world as commanded and block the evil by living according to Jesus commands in: Mark 12:29-31 and Matthew 5:43-48 ( and that's very few. As Jesus says there's a lot of harvest (work),but the laborers are few)

All believers should make time in their lives to read the BOOK OF LIFE ( bible), no matter how long it takes.

Please take the time ( especially believers) to read from the heart of faith the full bible cover to cover with notes for your personal life and the life here on this world.

Heaven is our home, but the bible is for us to learn how to live with this evil that is captive here ( revelation chapters 19-21).

Not being enforced to read the full bible is a great trick from them.

They get unmasked easily once the full bible is read.

Till then they can prey easily on believers with bible passages, other books, and sermons/speeches of emotional value that spark confusion/ judgements of others from what seem like slight triumphs over certain sins.

I pray GOD has all who read this to understand.

Agape to all.

Welcome so much, 7angel...

LOVE ONE ANOTHER

MARK 12:29-31

[Willa]

I could not be a Catholic becuse I could not bow down to images or pray to dead people. I could not pray to Mary whose tomb is in Jeruselum but its church has been boarded up for a century because of the heresy that she did not die but ascended into heaven like Jesus. We have one intercessor between God and man--Jesus Christ. Nor do I believe that the pope is without error, etc.

But there are many Catholics who are born again, genuine believers who love the Lord. And we owe much to the early Catholic church for defending our faith against many gross errors about Who Jesus is and what He has done, and the Trinity, not to mention preserving the Bible. Not all Catholics, or even priests, are hippocrits. Bigotry is ugly in any form. My grandfather was in the KKK and burned crosses in the yards of Catholics. He did not claim to be a Christian. But hatred and bigotry are even worse when found in the hearts of those who claim to be Christians.

be careful not to fall into emotional traps that the adversaries people love to put believers in in order to make them spread sinful statements and their origins.

This dress is ordained by God, nothing to do with that of the Pharisees,

To Selene

"You have heard it said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I tell you: Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and chase "

Comparing spiritual things with spiritual

"And we have not received the spirit of the world but the Spirit who is from God, that we may know what God has given us, what we speak, not in words taught by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. "(1 Cor 2: 12-13)

ALL,

Grace and peace,

Amen! Spirit discerns spirit!!

And though GOD had me mention the Pharisees and their lineage, HE did not use me to talk about their dress.

So, I realize Selene copy and pasted 7th Angel.

BUT, GOD has used me to say this to let all know that faith is bigger than clothes ( the picture above).

JESUS life was to bring the order back of ADAM and EVE; total obedience to the FATHER.

GENESIS 1:26

So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.

( spiritually, with that being said, understand how " woman is meant in the below passage)

REVELATION 17:3-6

So he carried me away in the Spirit into the wilderness.

And I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast which was full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.

The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the filthiness of her fornication.

And on her forehead a name was written:

MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT,

THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS

AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS

OF THE EARTH.

I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus.

And when I saw her, I marveled with great amazement.

AGAPE

P.S. the original orders to ADAM and EVE are in MARK 12:29-31.

To 7angel,

I was raised Catholic but fell away at 18. I didn't start to seek God again until I was 27. Although I can now see I left God for 9 years, but He didn't leave me. Once I read the Bible I saw all the same things wrong with Catholicism as you do. But I was a baby Christian and really knew nothing. There are still things I don't like about Catholicism. However, as I grew in the Lord I found things that were wrong in all the denominations. For awhile I felt like I was in a wasteland of all errors. But then God started to show me what was right in all the denominations, including Catholicism. I consider Catholicism to be a form of Christianity because they believe Jesus is the Son of God and He died for our sins. I think what Catholicism tried to do was to formalize all the things God asks of us because most people wouldn't do these things on their own. But some of us gain wisdom to see beyond the rituals, and we obey God out of love, rather than fear.

I don't know anything about you so I can't say much to you. But if friendofjesuschrist is correct, then you are at the beginnings of what may become great wisdom. Take it slowly. Keep God in the front of your mind. As your years go on, God will teach you things you can't even imagine yet. As for any organized religion or denomination, learn to look for what they say that is right, rather than their errors. Do this and you will do well.
