Everyone — everyone — frames their world within a body of literature that they have consumed. This could be anytime from nursery rhymes to National Geographic to the NYTimes to the ancient Hebrew writings. Theo (God) logy (from Logos, the Word) takes it’s worldview form the Hebrew and Greek writings, often called the Bible.

Word of God v. Traditions (of Jews)

Word of God v. Traditions (of Jews)

Comments 0 Comment

The church is going the way of the Jew by adopting “precepts of men” over the Holy Scriptures .  The Jews know this and encourage it.

Here is the Jerusalem Post:

How can this be? Because Christians and Catholics today are reinterpreting Scripture away from a literal interpretation of Jews as the enemies of Christ.

And:

AS BAD as what the New Testament has to say about Jews is what it has to say about Judaism, which is depicted throughout as old and defunct and in need of replacement. In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus tells the Jews, “The kingdom of God will be taken away from you [Jews] and given to a people that will produce its fruit [the Christians].” John takes the metaphor terrifyingly further, calling the Jewish people a fruitless tree waiting to be axed, “cut down and thrown into the fire.”

Given this narrative in the New Testament, how can Christians today be Israel’s greatest friends? Because we understand the written verses of any Bible through their oral interpretation. And Christians today, guided by the Hebrew Bible’s assertion that all nations are blessed through the Jews and Israel, reject any demonization of the Jewish people. They are reinterpreting New Testament verses . . .

The church has embraced the “leaven of the Pharisees” that Jesus warned and prophesied about.

Jews KNOW the Bible is contrary to Judaism.  See here at here.  But Christians are more fearful of offending those who reject Jesus Chrest than they are of Jesus Christ Himself!  So they/we have gone the way of Jew and are “reinterpreting New Testament verses.”

The Jews kept the Law and the Prophets as a trinket, a medallion, a symbol of what once was.  But their heart, their identity, their beliefs are in the “traditions of the elders.”  A few centuries after the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, these “traditions” were copied into their Talmud, their guidebook.

The evangelical church has done the same thing.  To the utter delight of the Antichrist, Evangelicals worship the Jew and call them  “God’s chosen.”  These “traditions” destroy the Church, just as Jesus Christ warned it would. 

 Saul, the Jew (before his conversion) boasted that he “was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries among my countrymen, being more extremely zealous for my ancestral traditions.”   God chose Paul to warn the church against the leaven of the Pharisees, for he was one.  No one knew better than Paul of the evils of Judaism.  

Here are Scriptures that must be re-normalized in the Church:  

    • “for you also endured the same sufferings at the hands of your own countrymen, even as they did from the Jews, who both killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and [a]drove us out. They are not pleasing to God, but hostile to all people,” 1 Thessalonians 2:14-15.
    •  “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel across sea and land to make a single proselyte (to the Talmud), and when he becomes a proselyte, you make him twice as much a child of hell as yourselves.” Matt 23:15.
    • “ . . . the slander of those who say that they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.” Rev 2:9
    • “ . . those of the synagogue of Satan who say that they are Jews and are not, but lie . . “ Rev 3:9
    • “Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son.”  1 John 2:22
    •  “For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not confess the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh. Such a one is the deceiver and the antichrist.   . . .  If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house or give him any greeting, for whoever greets him takes part in his wicked works.”  2 John 1:7-11

The cure for our rot lies in the Word of God, nothing else.

James 4:4 and Mark 8:38. speak of the adulteress, and Jesus Christ calls His church out of the great whore in Revelation 18:4

“For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.” Mark 8:38

Jesus Christ, Eternal Father, Mighty God.   Who welcomed the Christ? Who tried to kill him at birth? The book of life from Moses to the Revelation. The Serpent, from the Garden to Revelation 12.

How to Win and How To Lose: Know Thy Enemy

How to Win and How To Lose: Know Thy Enemy

Comments 0 Comment

You cannot win a war unless you correctly identify your enemy.  All efforts directed at the wrong enemy weakens you and strengthens them.

Pretending there is no enemy is even worse.

Satan is the adversary but he does not work as a disembodied spirit forcing evil on the world.  From the very beginning he worked through others.

The serpent/dragon was a wise and powerful creature, crafty. This serpent allowed Satan to work in him and through him.  God cursed that dragon so that his descendants would crawl on their bellies, as snakes.  The flying serpents of ancient myth are gone, now; God held that Serpent accountable.

Cain was of the evil one.  God cursed him.

Jesus Christ cursed the Viper’s brood and very clearly identified who they were, much to their consternation even today.

The seed of the Serpent are enemies, not just the enemies of the Church, but the enemy of all men everywhere.

ye also have suffered like things of your own countrymen, even as they have of the Jews: Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men.                            (1 Thessalonians 2:14-15)

Lucifer came disguised as a wise, helpful and reasonable creature, an angel of light.  He appeared not to be who he was, which is evil beyond all comparison.  Eve was deceived and so is the Church today.

The Church must recognize that the war — the utter hatred — has been going on since Genesis 3:15.  It must identify the offspring of Satan, and that is not hard at all — Jesus Christ makes it abundantly clear.

Any attempt by a Christian to make peace with the Serpent’s seed is siding with the Devil.  This is true from the story of Judas Iscariot, James 4:4, 2 John 11, Revelation 18:4, Matthew 23:15 and many other Scriptures.

For the sake of “all men,” Christians need  shake off the cowardice, and boldly tell the truth:

Satan has children.

They are contrary to all men.

They are pretenders, just as their father Satan. (Revelation 2:9 and Revelation 3:9)

For those “Christians” who will not do this, I refer them to Mark 8:38 and the story of Judas Iscariot, who was a reasonable man, well loved by his own people, hailed Christ as “Rabbi” and greeted Him with a kiss.

For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels. Mark 8:38

Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee. Revelation 3:9

 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan. (Revelation 2:9)

Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves. Matthew 23:15

Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
Matthew 23:33

You ·snakes [ brood/offspring of vipers]! You are evil people, so how can you say anything good? [For] The mouth speaks the things that ·are in [overflow from] the heart.

You adulterous people! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. James 4:4

for whoever greets him takes part in his wicked works.
1 John 1:11

 The Lord God said to the serpent,

“Because you have done this,
    cursed are you above all livestock
    and above all beasts of the field;
on your belly you shall go,
    and dust you shall eat
    all the days of your life.

I will put enmity between you and the woman,
    and between your offspring[a] and her offspring;
he shall bruise your head,
    and you shall bruise his heel.”
Genesis 3:14-15

And he came up to Jesus at once and said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” And he kissed him. Matthew 26:49

Then I heard another voice from heaven saying,: “Come out of her, my people, lest you take part in her sins lest you share in her plagues;  Revelation 18:4

 You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies. John 8:44

Normalizing Truth

For too long the church has been on its back foot defending itself from the antichrist accusations. Instead we ought be leaning forward and normalizing the narrative of the Word of God. Here are some areas that need to be normalized:

  • Babel– the separation of the nations enforced by different language and why God did this.
  • Creation — plants an animals only reproduce of their own kind.
    LGBTQ is completely anti-science — they are biological and genetic dead ends.
  • Hypocrisy — institutional hypocrisy used to control entire nations (versus a personal moral failing)
