ARE YOU TURNING YOUR BACK TO HIM

(33) And they have turned the back to Me, and not the face; though I taught them, rising up early and teaching them, yet they have not listened to receive instruction.
(34) But they set their abominations in the house which is called by My name, to defile it.
(35) And they built the high places of Baal, in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire to Molech; which I did not command them, nor did it come into My mind that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin. Jeremiah 32:33-35 MKJV
...
Baal is the deity of that has power over natural forces, or what we would call today the environment, Molech was a deity which was worship through human sacrifice, He was usually hollow with a place for a fire to be built inside of it, they stoked the fire until the hands of the idol which were extended out became red hot, them those that worship the idol set their infant children into those red hot hands to be consumed. Idol worship usually included temple prostitutes who became a part of the overall debauchery of these flesh fests. God through the Prophet Jeremiah called these acts abominations!

The correlation to today’s society is the fact that Environmentalism ( worship of nature ), Abortion ( human sacrifice) including outside of the womb, and Fornication ( all sex outside of biblical definition of marriage ) are acceptable in our society today. The most unfortunate thing is that it is even condoned within the house of God. This is an abomination, that provokes the wrath of God like it or not, God has never changed his mind about unrepentant sinners who with pride and arrogance mock him by their blatant sins.

The good news is that Jesus Christ the son of the Living God came that we might be saved, salvaged, and sanctified through his atoning sinless blood. Receive his forgiveness today and receive a new life.

Shalom & Agape!

We are quick to tell others what their sins are pointing the finger oblivious that three point back. We use language which exonerates us with the intent of putting others in the hot seat. There is a quickness to dish out advice to others absolving us covertly that we have need of the same .... while in the process are saying, I thank you God that I am not like other men, like this tax collector here....'

When has this not been aceptable?

You have diagnosed a problem, given the answer for a fallen world but have said nothing to the christians seeking to be obedient to God.


Just who are you preaching to?

What value re your words to Christians?

What value this would be depends really. There are many here who are either not Christian or even people say that they are Christian then choose to still live worldly lives. We are here to point people to Jesus. Did Jesus not tell us to make disciples of all nations? - This message should reach to us (If we are Christian) that we need to help the lost that can't see the wrong in various sins and point these people to Jesus and pray for them too.

Sadly much that I have shared so far is just thrown back with the attitude of who do you think you are telling us how to live our Christian lives.

The answer is that you are not appying the gospel to peoples situations or giving practicle advice as to how they can live for Jesus.

You are like a hunter you points his gun at the forest and opens fire, hoping his salvo of shots hits something.

There are plenty of people posting requests for help and advice, answer them.

Wherefore REBUKE THEM sharply that others may fear . WE are supposed to teach the church NOT to sin
We are supposed to correct . The reason why our churches are in a total mess today , is when leaven is not corrected
it does one thing , LEAVENS THE WHOLE LUMP .
Our friend of Jesus was doing a good thing in reminding us of all this .
We have to stop trying to shut down the voices of those who remind us . The churches grows by good exhortation of good sound doctrine .
This generation is fast becoming a generation that wont correct anything , UNLESS it those who make a stand for the truth .
We are being trained to shut down the very voices of those who do good unto the church by reminding us .
And instead we just let folks who say love love , unity unity and dont judge lead our churches into the pit .

You all would hate paul , james , jude , peter , or even Christ himself . THEY rebuked even their own .
And all this man friend of JESUS was doing was just reminding us of the simple truth .
Most churches today would tell JESUS , HEY MAN you need jesus god is love bro .
THey would say the same to paul , james and all the apostels . WE are not gonna make it if we dont step up
and contend and defend for the true faith . WHICH includes correction and reminders

The learning is one of disenfranchising oneself from immediate responsibility in the statements made. This is done by using plenty of 'you' and 'them' statements.

Responsibility is taken when 'I' and 'me' statements are made when dishing out advice.

One is on 'easy street' when one imagines one is distanced from the rebuke freely dished out to others.

As for me and the lambs , any reminder is good for my soul . Whether dire warning or whatever it is . FOR EVERY WORD OF GOD
is GOOD for my soul . I need all the reminders in those scriptures . PS , WE ALL DO .

We all need reminders of the Lord and His sayings.
Let’s keep our eyes glued on the biblical Jesus and noses in the KJV bibles.

Thank-you for your analogy of the scatter gun approach. Here is mine, consider them the warning shots. I am fully armed with more.
So long as the shot gun has rounds of pure biblical truth , I SAY FIRE AT WILL and FIRE OFTEN .
For the peoples are dying in a dry and thirsty land wherein there is no truth being spoken .
Let the rounds of truth , the pellets of the holy words of truth , be shot into all crowds , peoples , nations , tongues and so forth .
This is a battle and the adversary is taking no time off firing his rounds of lies , thus the lambs must take no time
off firing rounds of pure biblical truth .

His words still apply to us . I pray you aint trying to prove the wrong point my friend . Many men have come
in the name of the dark one to get many to abandon some teachings of JESUS . And we CANNOT DO THAT .
DO notice that when JESUS later said , AFTER BEING RISEN , HE STILL SAID TEACH THEM EVEYTHING I TUAGHT YOU .
HIS WORDS STILL APPLY TO US . WE dont pick and choose , either we love them all or we know HIM NOT .

That makes absolutely no sense .
JESUS first preached to the jews the lost sheep of israel .
After his ressurection HE then says GO to jerusalem and all the nations too .
You seem to be over thinking something . Why on earth did you say then Dont go to the gentiles if this dont apply to you .
makes zero sense my friend .

Dont be one of those TWO GOSPEL ones . cause that is deadly false .
The gospel that peter preached to the jews was the same gospel he preached to the house of gentile cornelious
the same gospel that paul preached in every jewish synagogue is the same gospel he preached to the gentiles .
THERE IS NO TWO DIFFERENT GOSPELS . Just in case you believe that .

That's the problem my friend. People take one verse then completely throw it out of context.
