Christians , real ones, are easy victims, until we wake up..... Its because most are trained badly early in our spiritual growth, regarding how to spot liars and deceivers.
I show you how.
See, we are taught that "good works = good people".
This reminds me of a photo of Hitler, in full uniform, in color.... holding two small children, and he's just smiling......and they are not.
We read that we are to love our neighbor as ourselves, and some take this to mean, we are to trust unconditionally like fools.
We read that Jesus said to turn the other cheek and that the spirit of meekness is to be coveted, and that gets twisted by spineless pulpits and social justice churches into "be a doormat", "never take a stand", and some commit the great sin of : BLIND TOLERANCE.
We are Children of the LIGHT<........ This is all the born again.
We are not to stay hidden, we are a part of the Light of the World, who is Jesus THE Christ.
Paul said to put on the whole ARMOR of God.
And you dont wear armor, hiding from spiritual confrontation and theological liars.
-----------------------------------------------
Paul changed the entire world with one message.
ONE MESSAGE.
Law keeping ? No
Commandment keeping? No
Presenting your body as a living sacrifice? No
Water baptism? No
Pre-destined elect? No
So what is the message? ?????
Its this..
The BLOOD of JESUS. "the preaching of the Cross".
Paul said he had that message, and took it everywhere he could go.
He called it "My Gospel".
He was stoned to death for that message.
He was jailed for years for that message.
He was beaten with whips a few different times for that message.
They cut off Paul's head because of this message of Eternal Truth...=The BLOOD OF JESUS makes you RIGHTEOUS forever.
John 14:6
Why? Because the devil hates that message, and the world that is run by the devil hates that message.
And many who talk about "christian stuff" hate it, and many who talk about "christian stuff", have never met that message with faith and become born again.
But they can fight on a "christian" forum against it, 24/7, and love to do it.
Its why they hang around fourms.
This message makes a dark light very agitated.
A dark light does not want to hear about the Cross of Christ or the BLOOD of Jesus.
They dont want to be told that the blood of Jesus that saves you, is the ONLY REASON you go to heaven.
What they want to hear is something from the Old Testament, or something Jesus said before He was Crucified, or something about law, and commandment keeping, or something said by any other apostle, other than Paul.
Im here some weeks now talking about Paul's Gospel and Paul's Doctrine, and low and behold, its as if i created it, and just put the book out.
Ive got way more than a dozen Threads up and running, and they talk about Paul's Gospel, and the Blood of Jesus and they are all a constant war zone of resistance.
Fascinating, to see the power of the message of the Cross be so impactful.
There is POWER in the BLOOD.
Believe it.
The first time i really saw this spiritual reality doing what it does to dark lights, was in 1991.
I was an industrial draftsman, also doing the seminary thing, and i would take my NT everywhere with me.
So, in MONSANTO where i was working, i would take it to the Cafeteria, and read it while i had lunch or dinner, depending on my shift.
The place was full of employees, and im there, day after day, eating, and studying the Word.
I kid you not reader.......when i grabbed the NT, the room shook.
People started to cough, scratch, jerk around, and behave oddly.
This was every day, and i witnessed it.
There is Power in the BLOOD and there is POWER IN THE HOLY BIBLE.
The word of God is ALIVE !
So all That's interesting, isn't it, when you consider that the message of the Cross, that is the Blood of Jesus taught as the Grace of God, came from Paul, as "the Gospel of the Grace of God".
Who would not want to hear all about what Paul said when you consider that He wrote most of the New Testament?
Who? A dark light.
