Yes…we’re in those latter days for sure; we must be vigilant and watchful and by no means be deceived by all that’s going on in the churches.  The one-world religion system is nigh, evidenced by the all-inclusive ecumenical nonsense.  Time to stand firm.

@Sonshine☀️ Definitely. I have been speaking out against this for many years now and have gotten myself into some real trouble doing so. But the truth must be told. This movement had momentum way back in the 1970's. I was in the thick of it sounding warnings against it. Fast forward 40 years from when I began this journey...things are unbelievably worse!

When the christains learn that the REASON folks don't come to JESUS ,   is because the love darkness rather than light .   THEN we will simply SPEAK TRUTH

LIVE IT ,  and whoever hears amen and many will reject .    What we need is to HEED .        and to FEED .    

HEED CHRIST ,  FEED ON BIBLES .     Because I can tell us all ,   no matter how kind , or how grave ,   or how much truth , or how many bad examples ,

The reason I DID not come to JESUS ,   Was because I loved darkness .     But grace appeared . 

@frienduff thaylorde Amen. You have brought out an important point here! Hypocrisy in the church is a common excuse the world gives as their reason to reject Christ.

Yet it is a cover for the REAL reason...which is love of sin and indulging the flesh. Sadly, hypocrisy IS alive and well. But that alibi will not wash when an individual stands face to face with their Maker at the judgement.

That said, the true believers should do as Colossians 4:5-6 instructs, "Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time. Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one."

Christians should stand out through their love for God and others as the first and second greatest commandments say. "By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” (John 13:35)

1 John 4:8 even goes so far as to say, "The one who does not love does not know God, for God is love." This would include forgiving those who transgress against us. Iow, those who do not forgive and walk in the love of Christ are not His.

For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:

But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. (Matthew 6:14-15)

Amen?

Who me, if you are referring to Jostler (Jester) there are times when I think you're right, for some times he does "jest." lol

And with Christians living together, having casual sex, children out of marraige, getting blind drunk and using illegal drugs. One can understand that the world does not take Christianity seriously.

Then we have Christians who swear, blasphemy, are dishonest etc

We are called to be different. Well are we?  How are we?

Raise the issue at your church.

Ask do they regard using paper at work for their perpuses as theft, ditto yhe works phone, internet, time you've been paid for etc etc

Jostler, you are spot on!  I am reminded of Proverbs 27:11, we read: “Be wise, my son, and make my heart rejoice, that I may make a reply to him that is taunting me.”  Not enough "Christians" remember to always remain circumspect, as the Great Opposer is taunting us always.

American Christianity went over the cliff about 60 years ago when it became a business model.

You nailed it Pg.  I loved your analysis about how too many of the churches conduct their business.  I might add that not enough is said about our responsibility to live our lives in righteous ways, from the "small things," like not taking printer paper home from work for non-related work activities to the "big things," like avoiding premarital sex and pornography.  Oh, that would impact how many would attend our church.  So is it quantity over quality?

And for all these things does the wrath of GOD come against the children of disobedience .   Therefore let us not be partakers with them .    In fact let no man deceive us period

It is for these very things that the wrath of GOD does come against mankind .     Let us remember the words of paul , who were inspired by the Spirit .   And how often

he warned the people not to partake of the sins of others .     The Word of GOD is blasphemed a lot due to the actions of those who are not truly HIS , yet claim him in mouth .

We are to be a holy people .

However ,  in the end , on the great day of the LORD there will be no fooling the LORD .    He was never tricked .   Did he fall for the line ,  but the WOMAN you GAVE ME

CAUSED ME to .........................

DID he fall for the line , BUT THE SERPENT TEMPTED ME .

He will not fall for the line ,  BUT LORD bad christains ran me away .   GOD KNOWS why folks don't come .    They love darkness more than light .

And while it is truly evil to do evil IN HIS NAME and say one thing and do another ,    The reason they would not come ,   Is because they chose the darkness over the LIGHT .

Ponder this .     EVEN if we follow the SPIRIT and witness and live as we should ,   many will reject but at least SOME will  hear and repent .

But if we learn to witness according to what a genearation THINKS is relevant ,  NOT A SOUL ONE will be one and we are in grave danger ourselves .

TRUST IN GOD for HE alone shall give us what is needed to say and HOW to walk .    Yall don't know just how greatly I am concerned with what I have been

a seeing in the church world .   And we can ill afford to conform to that .    Let the true church , FOLLOW THE TRUE SHEPARD and learn those bibles well .

Then  wonder no more ,  for this is the entire solution .     MY little children if we SAY HE abides in us , Then we WALK as DID HE .

The tree is known by its fruits .    If one can walk and justify their action OVER the words and reminders of the LORD ,  this is a real bad sign .

If we can sin willfully , justifying why we do as we do and having no conviction BY the SPIRIT .  THIS IS A REAL BAD SIGN .

Let everyone examine daily to see if we truly walk in the BIBLICAL FAITH of the BIBLCAL JESUS and follow the pattern that HE taught

and later the apostels taught .

Let me give an example of one who is n error ,  say like king david was .      Then a man comes along and shows them their fault ,  

DID KING david JUSTIFY his sin ,  OR DID HE REPENT and do all to make things right .  

I want to use the example of unforgivness .   Because JESUS , WHO IS far more than just mere man ,   Said we ought to forgive and if we don't , our Father will not

forgive us .

Now ,  as I child I see this to mean , Exactly what it says .     Thus if one repents we forgive .   And we harbor no ill will towards even those who do us wrong .

Forgive even those who hate and persecute us .     And this is not burdensome ,    not a word HE has said is ,  ITS JOY , its peace and its the abundant life .

For happy is the ONE who keeps His sayings .   Brethren might err,   but if instead of repentance being made , but rather justification for their own actions are made ,

THIS IS A Real bad sign of a heart that is hard and a conscioius that is seared or on the verge of being seared .   WE gotta examine ourselves daily .

Since so many Christians do not feel a need to adhere to their own stated values, it is unsurprising that many people don't take what we say seriously. 

This is the say one thing do another syndrome .    its known as hyprocrisy .     So let us all be fully sure we are following THE JESUS of the bible .

Not the political one , neither liberal nor conservative .    Not the seeker friendly one .    Not the all inclusive one .

Let us be for sure and for certain its the BC    JESUS we follow .   BIBLICALLY CORRECT   ONE   .   

Let us dig DEEP into bibles and cling to CHRIST , loving every word He and the apostels ever said .  Let us love all the HOLY scriptures in what is today called old test .

For every word of GOD is pure and a wonderous feast to the soul .    And let all walk in the liberty in Christ , only use not liberty as an occasion to serve the evil flesh sin nature .

We got a battle and there are so many PB jesus s   getting taught today .    PHONE BOOK .      WE better ensure we follow the JESUS of the BB,   BIBLE BOOK . 

[frienduff thaylorde]

Today is a whole new day .    A chance to start all over and if any is in error ,   let repentance be given and made .

Let all go as troops right into those bibles and be refreshed by the words and pattern in it .

We are running out of time .   A wicked nasty delusion has been infiltrating even churches and all religions and even secular ,  and it preaches a false love god

to unify the world as one RIGHT Under the beast .     I have never heard the word LOVE overused and misunderstood as I do today .

Every religion more and more is doing it , And yet ,   How can a man KNOW let alone LOVE GOD ,  if they LOVE NOT THE SON .      THEY cant .

And we gotta be on guard against this .   it does not start out big , but rather very small but a little of its leaven , WILL LEAVEN the minds and hearts of all

who do go under it in the days ahead .   Fact is we got one large world religion , both secular and religious in nature , that is growing .    We must avoid it

and expose it .    it matters not how many can do good works and how many can show a love to all ,    IF JESUS is NOT THE CENTER of that UNITY that LOVE ,  ITS ALL FALSE .

And jesus would never have sat and let any contrary to him religion or mindset be believed .  HE , as were the apostles , were adamant to say and make known

The answer to the question ,  HOW may we be saved ,  and that answer is simply this ,   REPENT AND BELEIVE IN JESUS CHRIST .   

And we better learn our bibles well .  For the holy scriptures will make a lamb wise unto salvation through faith in Christ .
