Imagine for a moment, a terrible/HORRIBLE THING, ( Jeremiah 5:30-31. 6:13-14. Romans 1:29-32.) that all the people arguing, DEBATING, disputing on this forum, are actually what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ all warned about, ( Jude 1:17-19.) that these people will be FEEDING THEMSELVES, WITHOUT FEAR, as clouds WITHOUT WATER, trees with WHITHERED FRUIT, WITHOUT FRUIT, being MOCKERS, in this LAST TIME, having NOT THE SPIRIT. ( WHO KNOWING THE JUDGEMENT OF GOD, THEY WHO DO SUCH THINGS ARE WORTHY OF DEATH, DO THE SAME AND HAVE PLEASURE IN THEM THAT DO THEM/And SHALL RECEIVE THE REWARD OF UNRIGHTEOUSNESS, as they COUNT IT PLEASURE TO RIOT IN THE DAY TIME, SPORTING THEMSELVES WITH THEIR OWN DECEIT WHILE THEY FEAST WITH YOU.)
The point here, is that all they do while feeding themselves ONLY, ( WITHOUT FRUIT..) is WITHOUT FEAR, and HAVNG NOT THE SPIRIT.
This is my beginning for this thread, while the disputes about LAW, surround THE FORUM, so it is very apt, and revealing below, if anyone takes time out of being: RAGING WAVES OF THE SEA, and FOAMING OUT OF THEIR OWN SHAME and of SPORTING THEMSELVES WITH THEIR OWN DECEIT WHILE THEY ARE FEASTING.
But we are told to not join in with this, but instead to BUILD OURSELVES UP IN OUR MOST HOLY FAITH, LOOKING FOR THE MERCY OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST UNTO ETERNAL LIFE.
Jeremiah 5:30 A wonderful and HORRIBLE THING IS COMMOTTED in the land;
31 The prophets PROPHESY FALSELY, and the PRIESTS BEAR RULE BY THEIR MEANS; and MY PEOPLE LOVE TO HAVE IT SO: and what will ye do in the end thereof?
Jeremiah 6:13 For from the least of them even unto the greatest of them EVERY ONE IS GIVEN TO COVETEOUSNESS; and FROM THE PROPHET EVEN UNTO THE PRIEST EVERY ONE DEALETH FALSELY.
14 They have healed also the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, SAYING, PEACE, PEACE, WHEN THERE IS NO PEACE.
Romans 1:29 BEING FILLED WITH ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS, fornication, wickedness, COVETOUSNESS, maliciousness; FULL OF ENVY, murder, DEBATE, DECEIT, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32 WHO KNOWING THE JUDGEMENT OF GOD, that THEY WHICH COMMIT SUCH THINGS ARE WORTHY OF DEATH, not only DO THE SAME, but HAVE PLEASURE IN THEM THAT DO THEM.
Jude 1:12 These are spots in your feasts of charity, when THEY FEAST WITH YOU, FEEDING THEMSELVES WITHOUT FEAR clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees WHOSE FRUIT WITHERETH, WITHUT FRUIT, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;
13 RAGING WAVES of the sea, FOAMING OUT THEIR OWN SHAME wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.
Jude 1:17 But, beloved, remember ye THE WORDS WHICH WERE SPOKEN BEFORE OF THE APOSTLES OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST;
18 How that they told you there should be MOCKERS IN THE LAST TIME, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.
19 These be they who separate themselves, sensual, HAVING NOT THE SPIRIT.
Jude 1:20 But ye, beloved, BUILDING UP YOURSELVES ON YOUR MOST HOLY FAITH, praying in the Holy Ghost,
21 Keep yourselves in the love of God, LOOKING FOR THE MERCY OF OUR LIORD JESUS CHRIST UNTO ETERNAL LIFE.
2 Peter 2:12 But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption;
13 And SHALL RECEIVE THE REWARD OF UNRIGHTEOUSNESS, as they THAT COUNT IT PLEASURE TO RIOT IN THE DAY TIME. Spots they are and blemishes, SPORTING THEMSELVES WITH THEIR OWN DECEIVINGS WHILE THEY FEAST WITH YOU;
Aptly then, against the unfruitful wreckage of all such LAW DEBATE, here are some words given to us by our Lord Jesus Christ for FAITH.
When Christ ascended on high, ( when our Lord Jesus Christ RECEIVED gifts for men.) so the Lord God might dwell among men, grace is given according to the measure of the gift of Christ, as He said, when He ascended on high, and gave gifts unto men, He descended first, into the lower parts of the earth, and He that descended is the same as He that ascended up far above all heavens, that He might fill all things. ( that the Lord God might dwell among them.)
In that day the Lord made a covenant for us, making them to lie down safely, and to betroth them to the Him for ever, betrothed them unto Him in righteousness, in judgment, in lovingkindness and in mercies. Betrothed to Him even in faithfulness, and they shall know the Lord.
To be SOWED unto Him in the EARTH, and He will have mercy upon her that had NOT OBTAINED MERCY, and He says to them which WERE NOT HIS PEOPLE, THOU ART MY PEOPLE, and they shall say, THOU ART MY GOD. ( as the declaration of God, THOU ART M SON THIS DAY HAVE I BEGOTTEN THEE.)
Ephesians 4:7 But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.
9 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?
10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)
Psalm 68:18 Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast RECEIVED GIFTS FOR MEN; yea, for the rebellious also, that the Lord God might dwell among them.
Hosea 2:18 And in that day will I make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field and with the fowls of heaven, and with the creeping things of the ground: and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the earth, and will make them to lie down safely.
19 And I will betroth thee unto me for ever; yea, I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in lovingkindness, and in mercies.
20 I will even betroth thee unto me in faithfulness: and thou shalt know the Lord.
Hosea 2:23 And I IWILL SOW HER UNTO ME IN THE EARTH; and I WILL HAVE MERCY UPON HER THAT HAD NOT OBTAINED MERCY; and I will say to them which were not my people, Thou art my people; and they shall say, Thou art my God.
THESE who RECEIVED seed by the wayside, the wicked one catches away that which was SOWN in his heart.
THESE who RECEIVED seed into stony places, no root in himself, when tribulation arises he is offended.
THESE who RECEIVED seed among thorns, hear the word, and the cares of this word/deceit of riches, choke the word, he becomes UNFRUITFUL.
THESE who RECEIVED seed into the good ground, hear the word, and understand it, also bear FRUIT, and bring forth.
Matthew 13:19 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that WHICH WAS SOWN in his heart. This is he which RECEIVED SEED BY THE WAY SIDE.
20 But he that RECEIVED SEED INTO STONY PLACES, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;
21 Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.
22 He also that RECEIVED SEED AMONG THORNS is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.
23 But he that RECEIVED SEED INTO THE GOOD GROYND is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
Having RECEIVED the Kingdom, He commanded THESE servants to be called, that He might know how much every man had gained by trading.
THESE SOWN on good ground, hear the word and RECEIVE it, and bring forth fruit.
Mark 4:14 The SOWER SOWETH THE WORD.
15 And THESE ARE THEY by the way side, WHERE THE WORD IS SOWN; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.
16 And THESE ARE THEY LIKEWISE which are SOWN ON STONY GROUND; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;
17 And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are offended.
18 And THESE ARE THEY WHICH ARE SOWN AMONG THORNS; such as hear the word,
19 And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.
20 And THESE are they which are SOWN ON GOOD GROUND; such as HEAR THE WORD, and RECEIVE IT, and BRING FORTH FRUIT, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.
Luke 19:15 And it came to pass, that when he was returned, HAVING RECEIVED THE KINGDOM, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.
John ( the Baptist.) sent from God, came to bear witness of the Light, for all men through that Light to believe, He came to HIs own and HIs own RECEIVED Him not.
But as many as RECEIVED Him, to them He gave power to them to become the Sons of God, EVEN TO THEM WHICH BELIEVE ON HIS NAME.
John the Baptist continued, what He ( Jesus Christ.) has seen and hard, that He testifies, and no man RECEIVES HIs testimony.
He that has RECEIVED HIs testimony, has set to his SEAL, that God is true.
Judas was numbered with the Apostles and had OBTAINED part of the ministry. Judas FELL BY TRANSGRESSION, so all who do as Judas , go to their own place, and not in the living with God. The prayer of such becomes sin, as Psalm 109 details, and the transgression that Judas and all fall by is the sin of unbelief, as John 6:64 confirms, as Jesus testified He knew from the beginning who they were that did not believe, AND WHO SHOULD BETRAY HIM. ( the law teacher of the FAITHFUL Christian forum has an opinion that sin is the transgression of the law, because this verse says so... 1 John 3:3.)
John 1:6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
John 3:32 And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony.
33 He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true.
John 6:64 But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him.
Acts 1:17 For he was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this ministry.
Acts 1:25 That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.
Psalm 109:7 When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin.
8 Let his days be few; and let another take his office.
1 Timothy 1:7 Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.
Those led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. For we RECEIVED not the spirit of bondage, but you have RECEIVED the Spirit of adoption, the Spirit bearing witness with r spirit that we are the children of God, if children ( of God) then heirs of God, joint heirs with Christ IF WE SUFFER WITH HIM, that we may ALSO BE GLORIFIED TOGETHER. ( with Him.)
Israel had NOT OBTAINED, that which they sought for, but the ELECTION had OBTAINED IT, and the rest were blinded.
In the time past we had not BELIEVED God, YET NOW HAD OBTAINED MERCY, through their UNBELIEF, now these DID NOT BELIEVE, that through our mercy they ALSO may OBTAIN MERCY. ( to have faith, not law, to OBTAIN MERCY.)
Romans 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
Romans 11:7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded.
Romans 11:30 For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:
31 Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.
We RECEIVED not the spirit of the world, but ( RECEIVED the Spirit which is of God, that we might know the thigs which are FREELY GIVEN to us of God.
But the natural man RECEIVES not the things of the Spirit of God, for they are FOOLISHNESS unto him, and he cant know them.
As the serpent beguiled Eve so your minds can be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ, ANOTHER Jesus that the Apostles did not preach, if they RECEIVE another spirit which they had not RECEIVED, ANOTHER gospel which they had not ACCEPTED, they might as well bear with him.
Apostles Paul speaks of the robbing of churches, and says that was to do them SERVICE.
Was this done because Apostle Paul did not love them. ( Paul says the Lord knows.)
But Paul shows this is CUTTING OFF the OCCASSION, of them which DESIRE OCCASION. ( WHICH THEY GLORY IN.)
This is finding they are FALSE APOSTLES, ( to do like that as Apostle Paul examples for us.) that they are DECEITFUL WORKERS, as satan and as ministers of righteousness, whose end shall be ACCORDING TO THEIR WORKS.)
1 Corinthians 2:12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
2 Corinthians 11:3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.
2 Corintians 11:8 I robbed other churches, taking wages of them, to do you service.
2 Corinthians 11:11 Wherefore? because I love you not? God knoweth.
12 But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them which desire occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we.
2 Corinthians 11:13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
The point here, is that all they do while feeding themselves ONLY, ( WITHOUT FRUIT..) is WITHOUT FEAR, and HAVNG NOT THE SPIRIT.
