Thessalonians part 71

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, hear Jesus' own words reguarding this, in Matthew 15 beginning at verse 1 through the end of verse 12 through this wise 1-9, 10-12, 13-14. Where we find this statement, There came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying, Why do Your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread. Jesus answered them, Why do you also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition? For God commanded, saying, Honor your father and mother: and, He that curses father or mother, let him die the death. But you say, Whoever shall say to father or mother, it is a gift, by whatever you might be profited by me; Honors not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have you made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition. You hypocrites, well did Esaias [Isaiah] prophesy of you, saying, This people draw nigh to me [Me] with their mouth, and honor me [Me] with their lips; but their heart is far from me [Me]. But in vain they do worship Me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

He called the multitude, and said to them, Hear, and understand: It is not that which goes into the mouth that defiles a man; but that which comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man. Then came His disciples, and said to Him, Know You that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying?

Jesus answered, Every plant, which My heavenly Father has not planted, shall be rooted up. Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.


Man through the cunning craftiness of the deceivers character within them push many to be unstable . This is in 1Timothy 1 beginning at verse 4 through the end of verse 11 where this is found, “Neither give (in other words given no place to) heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do. Now the end of the commandment is charity (which is another word for love and this love is not mans love which has three meanings not one of which comes close to GODS Love which is selflessness and only seeks the good or better thing for others) out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned: From which some having swerved have turned aside to vain jangling; desiring to be teachers of the Law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm. But we know that the Law is good, if a man use it lawfully; Knowing this, that the Law is not made for a righteous man, but for the Lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, for whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine; According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.”


Since the moment of mans fall from the presence of GOD in what is commonly called mans rebellion Satan's likeness has been prevalent in man which is known as mans being cunningly deceptive. I'll look at what is stated in Ephesians 4 and keep in mind that we are looking at false prophets and false teachers who proclaim a falsehood under the guise of being sent of the LORD or state that they are speaking as He gives them utterance. Many today mistakenly think that a prophet speaks of future things or as a fortune teller not realizing the pattern of the Old Tesament Prophets. Who did indeed speak as the LORD gave them utterance in reguards to that which they were already seeing and were familiar with. They brought to light the sin and error of the people and during this spoke both the words of warning against continued rebellion and also the way of the escape in the LORD'S provision, by turning the other way and not continuing on in the error.
Ephesians 4 beginning with verse 1 through the end of verse 16, where we find this statement,I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that you walk worthy of the vocation [the placement of our being in reguards to our assignment in the family as seen in verse 11 and 12 below] wherewith you are called, with all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is One Body, and One Spirit, even as we are called in One Hope of your calling; One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism [this of water and blood, this is not a water only baptism], One God and Father of all, Who is above all, and through all, and in you all (2Corinthians 5:14-15, John 10:14-28, and chapter 17's prayer). But to every one of us is given Grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.(this has to do with what John reveals to us in 1:14, 16-17) Wherefore He said, When He ascended up on high, He led captivity captive, and gave gifts to men. (Now that He ascended, what is it but that He also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that He might fill all things [those of 2Corinthians 5:14-15 and John 10:14-28].) And He gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Till we all come in the unity of the Faith, and of the Knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: That we henceforth [our former life in and of the world and the worlds religious forms which are based on the traditions of man] be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; But speaking the Truth in Love, may grow up into Him in all things, which (Who) is the Head, even Christ: From Whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplies, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, makes increase of the Body to the edifying of itself in Love.”
