Many
become those who willfully deny
the Truth in resistance
of it. Many do not see where Paul or the Bible translaters use the
term “the gospel,” in many cases it should read, “this gospel.”
Because this Gospel is very narrow and restrictive in its over all
revelation both of Christ and Christ's character and image being
restored with man. This is what these people because of false
teaching and misconceptions of fallens man being in darkness do not
know or acknowledge. Because we all and without fail are products of
the sin and death nature and this nature become more operative the
older we all become. Just as when we first become the LORDS it may
takes years and years before His character and image are fully
restored within us. Why is this so? Because to all goes back to the
Bibles beings, is the why and how of it. In this Church Dispensation
or Age of Grace many deny or cover up the corruption of mankinds soul
thinking that by doing so will bring our, mans evil nature to an end.
But this conception is false and is most harmful because it gives one
a sinse of welfare when there is NO welfare there, only darkness of
soul. And the greatest of offenders is the church or mans Religion
because it proclaims another gospel. A gospel of perversion and
distortion and the actual denial of GOD'S Truth in Christ.
In
2Timothy 3 beginning at verse 1 through the end of verse 9 is where
we have this statement, “This
know also, that in
the last days perilous times
shall come. For
men
shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud,
blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without
natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent,
fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady,
highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a
form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn
away.
For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive
silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, ever
learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the Truth. Just
as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these
also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the
faith.
But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest
to all men,
as theirs also was.”
Many
people have fallen away because of the vain imagination of the mind
which is subjected to fables and those hoodwinked become lovers of, self.
In 2Timothy 4 beginning at verse 1 through the end of verse 5 where
we find this, “I charge you
before GOD, and the LORD Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and
the dead at His appearing and His kingdom; Preach the word; be
instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all
longsuffering and doctrine [this
was my own personal charge by the LORD in 1971 shortly after
returning from Southeast Asia. When HE in a personal appearance,
simular to that of Saul of Tarsus's experience, called me to be a
pastor and teacher].
For the time will come when they
will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they
heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And
they
shall turn away their
ears from the truth, and shall be turned to fables. But
watch in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an
evangelist, make full proof of your ministry.”
Because
of what happened and stated above the following has also happened,
many are become destitute
of the truth,
Paul in 1Timothy 6 has a stern warning beginning at verse 3 through
the end of verse 10 where this is stated, “If
any man
teach otherwise, and consent not
to wholesome words, even
the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is
according to godliness; He
is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of
words, whereof comes envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,
perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the
Truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw yourself.
But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing
into
this
world, and
it is certain
we can carry nothing out. And having food and raiment let us be
therewith content. But they
that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and many foolish
and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. For
the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted
after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through
with many sorrows.”
Jesus
Himself revealed many of the errors of man and the religion of man
held together by his traditions and spoke to this as being bound
by traditions.
