The following are the unedited words of me, Marsha ..
I have been saying this for the past three years, at least, we are in a spiritual battle. Many people identify as Christian yet Jesus is not Lord of their lives, they are of their father the devil and the truth is not in them. (Luke 13:24-28, John 8:43-47)
What I am watching and hearing are: angry, sometimes vile, sometimes vicious, and definitely sinful behavior. Coming from political activist and leaders, as well as the pulpit speakers. There are many who “identify as Christian’ both politically and theologically that are not following the teachings found in Scripture; I suspect they know it.
How are they not following Scripture? How are they behaving like the Devil aka Satan is their father?
Because of their support for homosexuality and abortion.
Because of their promotion of personal wealth and not caring for the poor, needy or their own family.
Because of their helping individuals who break the law and not those who follow the law.
Matthew 25:42-46 (KJV)
42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
Matthew 25:31-46 is worth reading. Individuals with religious titles are living lavishly, guilting the members of their church to give ten percent plus thus insuring lavish living. Political leaders vote to have hard earned tax dollars sent to other countries and give shelter, food and cash to individuals to enter the country illegally while neglecting American citizens. I stopped giving to non-profit organizations because I suspect that much of the money that is received through donations goes to leadership and not the person that needs the help. For many individuals in leadership positions their misuse of money and position are being seen by Jesus.
Loyalty to political organization or theological personalities is leading too many Christians away from God’s truth. As the world increases in division and perversions it becomes more important that you invest in a real print Bible, not one of these “rewritten” modern Bibles. Validate everything you hear with what is written in God’s word. It is important that you decide today, where you want to spend eternity, hell is just as real as heaven.
2 Timothy 3:16-17 (KJV)
16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
