Time to Think Through Truths

 

LORD, have mercy! Help us!

"Ours may become the first civilization destroyed, not by the power of our enemies, but by the ignorance of our teachers and the dangerous nonsense they are teaching our children."

Reality vs Blatantly Living in Your Sins

Question Christian:

If you believe that Jesus died for your sins, was raised from the dead so that you may have life and life more abundantly all because of what He did for you- 

--then walk in His truth not your sins!

Get your act together, 

humbly ask for forgiveness, 

make things right with people and God, then

begin to walk as Jesus would have you to live!

1 Corinthians 6:19-20

..."do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, 

whom you have from God, 

and that you are not your own? 

For you have been bought with a price: 

therefore glorify God in your body!

Mark 1:15

...“The time is fulfilled, 

and the kingdom of God is at hand;

 repent and believe in the gospel.”...

The Dangerous "Christian-eze" Among Us

Control, Falsehoods, and Manipulation Techniques 

After 'being around the block' a few years in my Christian walk among many Christian sinners, I can recognize many falsehoods and their "christian-eze" (false information and behavior with at least some true Christianity included) which are used by deficient, shadowy people who are teaching falsely as well as using control and manipulation techniques to catch and control others.

These are dangerous behaviors for Christians and non-Christians alike as BOTH can be easily deceived by these false teachers. 

They may "look like a duck" (looking and acting like true Christians), but they are definitely teaching and behaving unlike true Christians.

True, righteous Christians are open, teaching truth from the Word, not from their own sinful minds. They truly care about others, and do not devise ways to control others. 

True Believers do not manipulate you, control you, or give you false memories of your life before  "them". 

True Believers really care about others: Christians and non-Christians alike.

True Believers love others even if you sin against them. They pray for you to come to truth and reality. 

True Believers DO NOT use MANIPULATION to CONTROL others.

Who are your friends and how do they treat you?

Colossians 3:1-17

Therefore if you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.

Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth.

For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

When Christ, who is our life, is revealed, then you also will be revealed with Him in glory.

Therefore consider the members of your earthly body as dead to immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed, which amounts to idolatry.

For it is because of these things that the wrath of God will come upon the sons of disobedience, and in them you also once walked, when you were living in them.

But now you also, put them all aside: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and abusive speech from your mouth.

Do not lie to one another, since you laid aside the old self with its evil practices, and have put on the new self who is being renewed to a true knowledge according to the image of the One who created him— a renewal in which there is no distinction between Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave and freeman, but Christ is all, and in all.

So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience; bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you. 

Beyond all these things put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity.

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body; and be thankful.

Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God.

Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father."...

People: They Believe or Ignore Reality

Proverbs 4

"Hear, O sons, the instruction of a father,
and give attention that you may gain understanding,

For I give you sound teaching;
Do not abandon my instruction.

When I was a son to my father,
tender and the only son in the sight of my mother,

 

Then he taught me and said to me,
“Let your heart hold fast my words;
Keep my commandments and live;

Acquire wisdom! Acquire understanding!
Do not forget nor turn away from the words of my mouth.

“Do not forsake her, and she will guard you;
Love her, and she will watch over you.

“The beginning of wisdom is: Acquire wisdom;
And with all your acquiring, get understanding.

“Prize her, and she will exalt you;
She will honor you if you embrace her.

“She will place on your head a garland of grace;
She will present you with a crown of beauty.”

Hear, my son, and accept my sayings
and the years of your life will be many.

I have directed you in the way of wisdom;
I have led you in upright paths.

 

When you walk, your steps will not be impeded;
And if you run, you will not stumble.

Take hold of instruction; do not let go.
Guard her, for she is your life.

Do not enter the path of the wicked
and do not proceed in the way of evil men.

 

Avoid it, do not pass by it;
Turn away from it and pass on.

 

For they cannot sleep unless they do evil;
And they are robbed of sleep unless they make someone stumble.

For they eat the bread of wickedness
and drink the wine of violence.

 

But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn,
that shines brighter and brighter until the full day.

The way of the wicked is like darkness;
They do not know over what they stumble.

 

My son, give attention to my words;
Incline your ear to my sayings.

 

Do not let them depart from your sight;
Keep them in the midst of your heart.

 

For they are life to those who find them
and health to all their body.

 

Watch over your heart with all diligence,
for from it flow the springs of life.

Put away from you a deceitful mouth
and put devious speech far from you.

 

Let your eyes look directly ahead
and let your gaze be fixed straight in front of you.

 

Watch the path of your feet
and all your ways will be established.

Do not turn to the right nor to the left;
Turn your foot from evil."
