"WHY WHAT WE BELIEVE IS CRITICAL"
YOU MIGHT ACTUALLY BE QUITE SURPRISED TO DISCOVER HOW MANY PROFESSING CHRISTIAN LEADERS ARE HEAVILY SWAYED AND INFLUENCED BY ROMAN CATHOLIC TRADITIONS AND FESTIVAL TYPE CUSTOMS, TO ACCEPTANCES OF MORE THAN A FEW OF THEIR UN-BIBLICAL DOGMAS AND RITUALS.
IN FUTURE BLOGS, I'LL GO MUCH DEEPER INTO UNDENIABLE VERBATIM/QUOTES, WITH AUTHORITATIVE HISTORICAL ACCOUNTABILITY. THESE WILL BE IN AREAS RELATED TO THE SUBJECT MATTER AT HAND.
REGARDLESS WHO PROMOTES INFORMATION, IT IS EITHERR PROVEN CORRECT AND BENEFICIAL OR, SHOWN FAULTY AND ERROR REGARDLESS OF HOW MANY TIMES IT IS SPOKEN, PACKAGED, AND SOLD, DOES IN NO MANNER STOP IT FROM BEING ERRONEOUS.
IN MY PERSONAL OPINION, (AS I AM IN GOOD COMPANY OF THOSE IN SCRIPTURE), I WILL VIGOROUSLY EXPOSE BIBLICAL HERESIES-ERRORS-FAULTS. EXPOSE UNTO HOPEFUL SOUGHT OUT ELIMINATION.
MODERN RELIGIOUS IMPOSTORS ARE NOTHING NEW, AS SCRIPTURE REVEALS THROUGHOUT UNTOLD UNSCRUPULOUS RELIGIONIST HAVE KNOWINGLY DECEIVED-OFTEN EVEN THEMSELVES.
A FEW NOTABLE BIBLICAL REFERENCES YOU SHOULD FIND ENLIGHTENING.
THE PROPHET JEREMIAH, ( HEBREW YIRMEYAHU, MEANING, "YAH WILL ELEVATE"), HAD BOLDLY PROCLAIMED TO MANY OF HIS ERA, "FROM THE LEAST OF THEM, EVEN TO THE GREATEST OF THEM, THEY ARE ALL GREEDY FOR GAIN".
"AND FROM THE PROPHET EVEN TO THE PRIEST, ALL ACT FALSELY." AS WELL WITH, (YIRMEYAHU 6:13).
"THE PROPHETS HAVE PROPHESIED FALSELY AND THE PRIESTS RULE BY THEIR OWN POWER, (DOCTRINES), AND MY PEOPLE LOVE IT SO." (YERIMEYAHU 5:31)
THE PROPHET ISAIAH (HEBREW, YESHAYAHU, MEANING SALVATION OF YAH)", SPOKE OF THEM SAYING, "YOUR WICKEDNESS HAVE SEPARATED YOU FROM YOUR ELOHIM. AND YOUR SINS HAVE HIDDEN HIS FACE FROM YOU-FROM HEARING YOU." (YESHAYAHU 59: 2)
YOU WOULD DO WELL TO READ CHAPTER 23 OF (YIRMEYAHU, JEREMIAH) FOR YOURSELF VERY CLOSELY, AS MANY PROFOUND TRUTHS ARE TO BE DISCOVERED IN REALIZING THE PATHS OF APOSTATE RELIGIOUS ICONS TRAVEL.
YAHWEH TELLS YIRMEYAHU, "YOU LIVE IN THE MIDST OF DECEIT, THROUGH DECEIT THEY HAVE REFUSED TO KNOW ME." (YIRMEYAHU 9: 6)
YOU MAY BE YELLING AT YOUR COMPUTER SCREEN, HOW I SIMPLY DON'T KNOW YOUR PASTOR, WHOSE FULL OF "PEACE-PEACE", UNBIASED LOVE, FULL OF GRACE AND LOVE, (SO WERE THOSE ALSO IN JEREMIAHS ERA).. YET, DOES HE BOLDLY CONFESS YAHWEH AS REDEEMER, ONE SABBATH THROUGH THE NEXT? IF NOT, WHY NOT?
DOES HE CAREFULLY EXPLAIN YAHWEH'S TORAH, (LAWS), TO YOUR CONGREGATION, AS EVERLASTING LAWS? NO? THEN YOUR PASTOR IS EITHER A BLIND FOOL OR, ELSE A WILLFUL APOSTATE BLASPHEMER, LIKELY WITH ELECTRIFYING CHARISMA, SOOTHING AND CRAFTY USAGE OF VOCABULARY SKILLS, DRESSED IN HIS HIGH PRICED SUITS, ALWAYS SEEMINGLY READY WITH A BRIGHT WHITE-STRAIGHT EVEN TOOTHED SMILE AND AN OPEN HAND READY TO SHAKE AFTER SERVICE.
BELOVED-AWAKE!! LEST EGOTISTICAL SMOOTHNESS DECEIVE YOU.
APPEARANCES HAVE MISLED MANY A PEOPLE ASTRAY FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS AND HAS ONLY GOTTEN WORSE, AS IF IT WERE POSSIBLE. WE NEED TO BE MINDFUL OF WHAT OUR MESSIAH SAID OF THEIR TYPES; "WOE TO YOU SCRIBES AND PHARISEES, HYPOCRITES! BECAUSE YOU CLEAN THE OUTSIDE......BUT INSIDE THEY ARE FILLED WITH PLUNDER AND UNRIGHTEOUSNESS. BLIND PHARISEES, FIRST CLEAN THE INSIDE...SO THAT THE OUTSIDE BECOMES CLEAN TOO."
"WOE TO YOU SCRIBES AND PHARISEES, HYPOCRITES! BECAUSE YOU ARE LIKE UNTO WHITEWASHED TOMBS, WHICH OUTWARDLY INDEED LOOK WELL, BUT, INSIDE ARE FILLED WITH DEAD MEN'S BONES AND ALL MANNER OF UNCLEANNESS. SO, YOU TOO OUTWARDLY INDEED APPEAR RIGHTEOUS TO MEN, BUT INSIDE YOU ARE FILLED WITH HYPOCRISY AND LAWLESSNESS, (AGAINST YAHWEHS LAWS). (MATTHEW 23: 25-27)
ALSO NOTED BY THE PROPHET YIRMEYAHU, VIA YAHWEH;
"BECAUSE THEY HAVE FORSAKEN MY TORAH WHICH I SET BEFORE THEM AND HAVE NOT OBEYED MY VOICE, NOR WALKED ACCORDING TO IT, BUT HAVE WALKED ACCORDING TO THE STUBBORNNESS OF THEIR OWN HEARTS AND AFTER BA'ALS,(LORD), WHICH THEIR FATHERS HAD TAUGHT THEM."
YAHWEH SAYS OF THEM, "DO NOT BELIEVE THEM, EVEN THOUGH THEY SPEAK SMOOTH WORDS TO YOU."(YIRMEYAHU 9: 13-14;12:6)
PAUL FOREWARNED US WITH, " BUT EVIL MEN AND IMPOSTORS (OF THE FAITH), SHALL GO ON AND WAX WORSE, LEADING ASTRAY AND BEING LED ASTRAY." (11 TIMOTHY 3:13
FOR THERE SHALL BE A TIME WHEN THEY SHALL NOT BEAR SOUND TEACHING, (YAHWEHS TORAH), BUT ACCORDING TO THEIR OWN DESIRES, (DOCTRINES), THEY SHALL HEAP UP FOR THEMSELVES, TEACHERS TO TELL THEM WHAT THEIR ITCHING EARS WANT TO HEAR." AND WHAT BECOMES OF THEM? "AND THEY SHALL INDEED TURN THEIR EARS AWAY FROM THE TRUTH AND BE TURNED ASIDE TO MYTHS." (11 TIMOTHY 4: 3-4)
"MYTHS" IS CLOSELY ASSOCIATED WITH "CONCEALED", OR, "HIDDEN"
REFERENCES AGAINST MYSTICAL OCCULT REVELATIONS ABOUND IN SCRIPTURE. I AM NOT MERELY SPEAKING OF SHAMANS, GURUS, ASTROLOGERS, OR PHYSICS. ALSO LUMPED IN THE SAME BALL OF WAX, IF YOU WILL CLOSELY REVIEW, IS MANY OF OUR MODERN DAY PASTORS AND CLERGYMEN.
IF YOUR PASTOR CLAIMS TO KNOW THE ALMIGHTY, BUT DOESN'T ZEALOUSLY UPHOLD YAHWEHS COMMANDMENTS, THEN HE IS A LIAR. AND THE TRUTH IS NOT IN HIM! (SEE JOHN/YAHUCHANAN 2: 3-6)
YET, ON THE FLIP SIDE, RELIGIOUS HIERARCHY WOULD HAVE US TO STILL UPHOLD RELIGIOUS STATEMENTS THAT HAS NEVER BEEN DISAVOWED, AS OF; "EVERY CLERIC MUST OBEY THE POPE, EVEN IF HE COMMANDS WHAT IS EVIL; FOR NO ONE, MAY JUDGE THE POPE."
(POPE INNOCENT 111 1198-1216)
OR HOW ABOUT, "THE FIRST SEE, (ROME PAPACY), IS JUDGED BY NO ONE, IT IS THE RIGHT OF THE ROMAN PONTIFF HIMSELF ALONE TO JUDGE...THOSE WHO HOLD THE HIGHEST CIVIL OFFICE IN A STATE......THERE IS NEITHER APPEAL, NOR RECOURSE, AGAINST A DECISION, OR A DECREE OF THE ROMAN PONTIFF." (CODE OF CANON LAW...CANONS 1404, 1405, AND 333. SEC 3 PP 951 AND 271)
WHO IS THIS WHO PROCLAIMS SUCH UNQUESTIONABLE UNTRUTHS? THESE BE THEY WHO HAVE DICTATED APOSTOLIC AUTHORITY FOR SOME 1700 YEARS, THUS FAR.
SOME AMONG YOU WILL MENTION; "I GRASP THAT BUT, I AM NOT A CATHOLIC." I AM A JUDAEO CHRISTIAN/PROTESTANT.
ARE YOU NOW? THEN WHY DO YOU STILL OBSERVE CATHOLIC (PAGAN) HOLIDAYS AND CUSTOMS? WHY NOT PUT YOUR COMPUTER SEARCH ENGINE TO PROPER USE AND CAREFULLY RESEARCH WORD ORIGINS AND THEIR MOST EARLIEST CUSTOMS, SUCH AS CHRISTMAS, EASTER, HALLOWEEN.
DON'T MERELY DISCOUNT THE ABOVE AND I PROMISE YOU, ONCE YOU START DIGGING, YOU WILL SOON DISCOVER THEIR PAGAN ORIGINS.
THERE IS A JUGGERNAUT OF EMERGENT RELIGIOUS HERESIES AND BY THOSE, A GREAT NUMBER OF BIBLE BELIEVERS ARE OFTEN MISLED.
JUST AS MANY YEARS OF SCHOOLING AND TRAINING, WITH ENERGIES INVESTED, WILL LIKELY PROVIDE THERAPIST, PSYCHIATRIST, SOCIOLOGIST, PSYCHOLOGIST AND YES, EVEN THEOLOGICAL DEGREES, TO FURTHER THEIR PROFESSIONAL FIELDS OF DESIRE. COMMON KNOWLEDGE IS HOW ALL LEVELS ACHIEVED, EACH LIKELY HAVE FINE-TUNED, READY MADE CURRICULUM'S, AND THOSE WHO CREATE THEM, HAVE THEIR OWN GOVERNING AGENDAS, BE THEY CERTAIN POLICIES, CREEDS AND DOGMAS.
ALLOW ME A MOMENT TO PROVIDE AN EXAMPLE.
LETS SAY, I AM AN ELDER OF AN ASSEMBLY, WHO NEEDS TO BUILD A LARGER AND BETTER ASSEMBLY GATHERING WORSHIP CENTER.
BUT MONIES ARE TIGHT, SO I CUT THE CORNERS IN LOCATING A PROFESSIONAL ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN ENGINEER-AFTER DISCOVERING HIM, HE SEEMS KNOWLEDGABLE, AS WE DISCUSS THE UPCOMING PROJECT AND WE CLOSELY SCRUTINIZE DIFFERENT ARCHITECTURAL DESIGNS AND BLUEPRINTS. NOT LONG AFTER THE ASSEMBLY HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY CONSTRUCTED, SEEMINGLY SOLID AND SOUND, FROM INTERIOR, TO EXTERIOR ALIKE.
YET, IT COULDN'T WEATHER THE STORMS STRONG WINDS, NOR THE FLOOD WATERS, THAT QUITE LITERALLY WASHED THE BUILDING OFF ITS FOUNDATIONAL STRUCTURE. WHOSE FAULT IS IT TO BLAME?
I WILL GIVE YOU A HINT, IT IS NOT SOLEY THE PROFESSIONAL ARCHITECT.
THE MAIN BLAME GOES DIRECTLY TO THE ELDER. AS HE SHOULD OF GOTTEN A SECOND, AND MAYBE A THIRD PROFESSIONAL OPINION, AS NOT ONLY WERE MONIES ENTRUSTED TO HIM, BUT, THERE COULD OF BEEN A GREAT NUMBER THEREIN WORSHIPING, OR WAITING OUT THE HEAVY STORM.
SO DOES WHAT A PASTOR/CLERGYMAN, TEACH THEIR FLOCK HOLD UTMOST RESPONSIBILITIES AS THEY FEED THEIR SHEEP IN MOST IMPORTANT AREAS OF EACH OF THEIR LIVES. SHOULDN'T THEY ALL THE MORE BE SCRUTINIZED? SADLY, THERE ARE MANY COMING OUT OF BIBLICAL SEMINARIES, OF ALL DENOMINATIONAL BRANCHES WHOM STEADFASTLY VALUE THEIR OWN IDEOLOGIES, ABOVE AND BEYOND SCRIPTURAL AUTHORITY ALONE.
OUR REDEEMER ENCOURAGES US TO SEEK OUT TRUTHS FROM HIM. (PSALM 25:10; 91:4; 119:30; JOHN 8:32; 17:17)
IT IS CRITICAL WHAT WE BELIEVE AND IN UPCOMING BLOGS, I PLAN TO REVEAL MANY MORE AREAS OF TRUTHS.
PLEASE PRAY UNTO YAHWEH, THAT HE WOULD CLOSELY GUIDE YOU INTO INSIGHTFUL RIVERS OF PROFOUND TRUTHS, AS WELL WITH SELF AWARENESS, IN ORDER TO GUARD YOURSELF AGAINST FALSE TEACHINGS.
I WILL LEAVE YOU TODAY WITH THIS MESSAGE;
"TRUST IN YAHWEH WITH ALL THINE HEART AND LEAN NOT TO THINE OWN UNDERSTANDING. IN ALL THY WAYS, ACKNOWLEDGE HIM AND HE WILL MAKE THY PATHS STRAIGHT." (PROVERBS 3: 5-6)
UNTIL NEXT TIME, YAHWEH BE PRAISED FOREVER!
