Peace to those who may read.
The churches of carnally-thinking men (earthly-minded men) preach for doctrines the teachings and commandments of men (the handwriting of ordinances/dogmas….that is, their church doctrines inscribed by their "scribes" for many to keep).
They do these things for money…which has the graven image of corruptible man upon it. They command that their congregations give the image (money) to the handwriting of ordinances in order to honor/worship their “church” which is structured after the handwriting of ordinances...after the rudiments of the world (rising up out of the sea).
They preach these things for the image…. money….which has the image of corruptible man upon it.
Mark 12: KJV
(15) Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a penny, that I may see it.
(16) And they brought it. And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? And they said unto him, Caesar's.
(17) And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's. And they marvelled at him.
They have (command) their listeners of their sermons give the image (money) to the “church” which is structured on the handwriting of ordinances (the “superscription”).
Many see themselves as “wise” for letting a man exalt himself over them as they are led into the bondage of their “Caesar” (their “king” that they have desired) who leads them into the keeping of the teachings and commandments of men…who leads them into bondage and to their destruction. The “king” taxes the subjects in his kingdom and puts them to work in furthering his kingdom. They have their church government... ordinances... to follow just like the world that does not profess to know God.
2 Corinthians 11:19-20 KJV
(19) For ye suffer fools gladly, seeing ye yourselves are wise.
(20) For ye suffer, if a man bring you into bondage, if a man devour you, if a man take of you, if a man exalt himself, if a man smite you on the face.
Many are being deceived by false teachers into exchanging the truth of God for THE lie and worship and serve the teachings and commandments of men over the commandment of God: to have love for one another. They see themselves as “wise” for doing so. Professing themselves as “wise”, they have become fools.
Let us not “go to church” where many (who see themselves as wise for doing so) are exchanging the glory of the incorruptible God for the image made like to corruptible man (that is MONEY which has the image of man upon it).
The nations of the outside world see the preaching and giving of money inside the churches of earthly-minded men and blaspheme the name of God and speak evil of the gospel because of it. They are not glorifying God because of it but are speaking evil of His Holy Name instead.
The “money changers” inside the churches are exchanging the glory that is due Him from ALL NATIONS for money and make merchandise of the sheep (the four-footed beasts) and go after earthly things…the creeping things (minding how they will get paid for preaching in order to get food, drink and apparel for themselves and their families). They crawl upon the “belly” as they are only serving for their belly and do not care that the outside world blasphemes His Holy Name because of their actions.
Those are serving only for their belly want you to come join them in their churches where this exchanging the glory of God for money is active. They want you to come and exchange His glory that is due Him from ALL NATIONS for money with them. Membership to their churches demands that you do their exchanges.
Romans 1:22-25 KJV
(22) Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
(23) And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
(24) Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
(25) Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
The church should be called by ALL NATIONS the “house of prayer” as they should see us and we are to be the source of praise of God in this earth.
Instead, they see the moneychangers who exchange the glory that is due Him from ALL NATIONS for money…the image of corruptible man. The outside world only sees it as a “den of thieves” and they blaspheme His Holy Name because of the preaching for the image…money…that is going on inside the churches that have taken His Name in vain as they defraud their brothers.
Mark 11:15-18 KJV
(15) And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves;
(16) And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple.
(17) And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves.
(18) And the scribes and chief priests heard it, and sought how they might destroy him: for they feared him, because all the people was astonished at his doctrine.
Not only are they exchanging the glory that is due Him from all nations for money’s sake but they also set aside His commandment (to have love for one another) in order to speak evil of others who do not keep their particular church’s teachings and commandments of men and all the while think that they are doing God “service” for such things. They justify themselves in their evil doings with THE lie that they are doing these “wonderful works” in His name…in His authority. They exchange the truth of God for the lie and serve and worship the commandments of men more than the Creator.
We are not a DOER of the Law (fulfilling the Law: to have love for one another) when we speak evil of others based on our carnal “law”….our teachings and commandments of men. We are not “gods” (Elohim)…that is, JUDGES for God…when we condemn others as “going to hell” for not keeping our own “works of righteousness”….our so-called works of righteousness that is inscribed in our church tenets, ordinances, teachings for us to keep.
We are not doing God “service” by being judge, jury and executioner in our judgment of others based on our church’s handwriting of dogmas. There is only ONE Lawgiver who commanded us to have love for one another. There is only ONE Lawgiver who is able to save and to destroy.
James 4:11-12 KJV
(11) Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.
(12) There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?
Yet, there are many men preaching that we are “free” to set aside His Holy Commandment in order to serve and worship their handwriting of church dogmas as we use them to speak evil of others…judging others supposedly in God’s name (authority).
They promise us “liberty” from the keeping of the “Holy Commandment” (to have love for one another) to do such things. Are we really free from His commandment in order to keep their teachings and commandments of men? I think not as they are all perishing from this earth with the using of them.
2 Peter 2:17-22 KJV
(17) These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever.
(18) For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error.
Do not listen to their “great swelling words of vanity” nor their promise of “liberty” from the keeping of the Holy Commandment. Only those who truly DO the Word shall be saved. We must be DOERS of the “Law” and not just hearers only.
(19) While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.
(20) For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.
These earthly-minded men come forth to flatter us with their words into going to their “church” where MANY exchange the truth of God for the lie and serve and worship their handwriting of church dogmas. It would have been better for them not to have known the Way of righteousness, than, after having known it, to turn from the Holy Commandment that was delivered for them to keep. They go into the bondage of the keeping of the teachings and commandments of men.
(21) For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.
(22) But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.
In church, they exchange the truth of God into THE LIE (the same lie of the serpent from the beginning) and worship and serve the “creature” (the ordinance) more than the Creator who from the very beginning commanded us to have love for one another.
Romans 1:
(25) Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
The following verses is NOT about homosexuality as many suppose but about taking pleasure in others who do such things (their “wonderful works” done supposedly in His name) in the churches of men.
The “hidden man of the heart” takes pleasure in others who join along with them in their unrighteousness. They burn within the hidden man of the heart towards those who join along with them. They.... within their hearts.... love and support those who take part in what they are taking part in.
The “woman” is the tongue or breath (spirit) that speaks what is in the heart. They leave the natural use of the “woman”…the tongue or breath that gives birth to words…and join along with others in speaking evil.
The natural use of the tongue is for kindness to others with their words and yet they abandon the natural use in order to speak the evil words of others that they join along with in their churches. They take pleasure in speaking the same things that others speak in their unrighteousness as they speak evil of others who do not exchange the Truth of God for the lie that they are loving and practicing. They take another's tongue by speaking and affirming of the same things others are saying.
(26) For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
(27) And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
They exchange the Truth of God for THE lie and serve and worship the teachings and commandments of men more than the Creator.
Even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God has given over such to a reprobate (rejected) mind to do those things which are not convenient.
The “reprobate mind” is the false teacher in their church who teaches things he ought not be (the teachings and commandments of men that his puffed up mind as vainly “seen”) for money’s sake. They fall victim to the “pastor” of the church who flattered them into keeping company with them….joining along with them in the teachings and commandments…speaking and affirming of what they speak. They abandon the natural use of the “woman” for kindness and love in order to speak the evil of what their fellow congregants are speaking.
(28) And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
The “woman” is the tongue of breath that we use to speak words. Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth. The "woman" must "ready herself" by doing so.
Ephesians 4:29 KJV
(29) Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
Let none of these things come out of the mouth…..
Colossians 3:8 KJV
(8) But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.
Christ should be at the hidden man of the heart and we are His “bride” who has “readied herself” by putting off the evil communication out of the mouth (the woman…the breath…the spirit).
Revelation 19:6-10 KJV
(6) And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.
(7) Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
The “wife”…the “woman”…has made herself ready: by putting off all evil communication out of the mouth. The fine linen is the righteousness of the saints who have put to death sin (the LAMB)….the evil that comes out of the mouth.
(8) And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
Only then can they preach the “true sayings of God” to others. Only then can they be a fellowservant of Christ and preach His testimony to others.
(9) And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.
(10) And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
We are to lay aside all malice and all fraud (guile)…all evil speaking…and hear the Word of Truth when we hear it so that we may grow in His knowledge. Blessed are those who are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb…the hearing of the true sayings of God in their ears…as the Lord comes to open up our minds to the Scriptures.
We are expected to hear and refrain our tongues from all evil so that we might enter into hearing the mysteries of the kingdom. Outside are those who will be found not putting Christ on at the hearing of His voice. Even what they have heard will be removed from their hearts lest they turn and be converted and be healed by Him.
1 Peter 2:1-3 KJV
(1) Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings,
(2) As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:
(3) If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
The tongue is the “weaker vessel” that readily speaks what is in the heart…out of the hidden man of the heart. We are to let Christ within us rule over our tongues always. How we conduct our tongue in the presence of unbelievers can be effective as others can be “won” by the “conversation of the wives”….the behavior of our tongue.
1 Peter 3:1-7 KJV
(1) Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives;
(2) While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear.
Let us not use our tongues for flattery of others…..the outward “adorning”. We must not use our tongues for a cover of covetousness that is being done in all churches of men.
(3) Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;
The “hidden man of the heart” is to have an ornament of a “meek and quiet spirit”…that is, the meek and quiet breath….the meek and quiet “woman” in subjection to the “hidden man of the heart”...following Christ.
(4) But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.
(5) For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands:
(6) Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement.
We must dwell with our tongues according to His knowledge giving special attention to what comes out of our mouths. By doing so, our prayers shall not be hindered. Our words shall be heard by God and by others if we always pay attention to what comes out of our mouths…ruling over the “weaker vessel”. What comes out of the mouth is what defiles the “man”.
(7) Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.
We are espoused to One Husband and we are to put out of our mouths ALL evil communication according to Christ within us. We are to be presented as a “chaste virgin to Christ”. All evil communication must be put off...thereby making the "wife" ready for preaching the Word of truth to others.
2 Corinthians 11:1-7 KJV
(1) Would to God ye could bear with me a little in my folly: and indeed bear with me.
(2) For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.
But there are MANY false teachers in this world who are serving their own belly rather than Jesus Christ our Lord. The “serpent” crawls upon the belly as they are only minding earthly things…how to get their earthly needs met by you paying them in their churches where they set aside His commandment in order to serve and worship the teachings and commandments of men.
(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.
MANY see themselves as “wise” for letting these men come and lead them astray from the simplicity that is in Christ. They “bear well with them”.
The false teachers come preaching another Jesus who told His followers to “freely give” as they have freely received.
And many so “wisely” receive another spirit…that is, breath…that they have not received. They are deceived by false teachers into abandoning the natural use of the woman…the tongue or the spirit (breath) …and speak the same evil communications that their false teachers speak.
We readily receive their same breath…their evil communications that come out of their mouths…as we speak and affirm of what they say. We abandon the natural use of our mouths in order to speak their evil words in unison…in agreement… with them.
(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.
(5) For I suppose I was not a whit behind the very chiefest apostles.
(6) But though I be rude in speech, yet not in knowledge; but we have been throughly made manifest among you in all things.
And they preach things that they ought not be for money’s sake. They do not preach freely. They speak only for money...the image. The image speaks.
(7) Have I committed an offence in abasing myself that ye might be exalted, because I have preached to you the gospel of God freely?
Those who profess themselves as “wise” let these men come and lead them astray from the Way of righteousness. The false teacher is the “reprobate mind” that they are given over to in order to join along with them in their words and being filled with all unrighteousness.
Romans 1:25-32 KJV
(25) Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
(26) For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
They leave the natural use of the tongue or spirit in order to speak what their false teacher speaks…and they take pleasure within the heart of those who do such things.
(27) And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
(28) And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
(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:
They know the Truth of God (the judgment of God that those who do such things are worthy of death). Yet, they exchange the truth of God for the lie and serve and worship the commandments of men. They think that they have "peace and safety" for doing such things...but they perish.
They have pleasure within the hidden man of the heart of those who do such things who use their mouths for evil as they speak evil of others as “evil doers” who do not keep their handwriting of church dogmas that their “scribes” have engraved for them to keep.
(32) Who knowing the judgment 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.
Earthly-minded men ( who worry about getting paid to preach in order to get their earthly needs met) preach good words and fair speeches in order to seduce the simple…those who become forgetful to always having love for one another ( forgetting to keep the “daily” sacrifice of our Lord – always bearing about in the body the dying of our Lord Jesus who loved us and gave Himself for us so that we might have His eternal life in this earth).
They come forth and flatter us with their words in order to get paid. They speak great swelling words of emptiness (as they have NO KNOWLEDGE of the Scriptures) in order to get dishonest gain. They deceitfully handle the Word of God for unjust gain and do not feed their congregations with the Word of Truth and are only feeding themselves….literally…as they serve only for their belly and not the Lord Jesus Christ. They make a gain of those that they are deceiving and leading astray….making them perishing merchandise.
They seduce MANY away from the keeping of the “daily” sacrifice so that the eternal life of the Lord never is made manifest in the mortal flesh of those who are being led down the broad way to their destruction from off this earth under the wrath of God.
The churches of carnally-thinking men (earthly-minded men) preach for doctrines the teachings and commandments of men (the handwriting of ordinances/dogmas….that is, their church doctrines inscribed by their "scribes" for many to keep).
They do these things for money…which has the graven image of corruptible man upon it. They command that their congregations give the image (money) to the handwriting of ordinances in order to honor/worship their “church” which is structured after the handwriting of ordinances...after the rudiments of the world (rising up out of the sea).
They preach these things for the image…. money….which has the image of corruptible man upon it.
Mark 12: KJV
(15) Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a penny, that I may see it.
(16) And they brought it. And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? And they said unto him, Caesar's.
(17) And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's. And they marvelled at him.
They have (command) their listeners of their sermons give the image (money) to the “church” which is structured on the handwriting of ordinances (the “superscription”).
Many see themselves as “wise” for letting a man exalt himself over them as they are led into the bondage of their “Caesar” (their “king” that they have desired) who leads them into the keeping of the teachings and commandments of men…who leads them into bondage and to their destruction. The “king” taxes the subjects in his kingdom and puts them to work in furthering his kingdom. They have their church government... ordinances... to follow just like the world that does not profess to know God.
2 Corinthians 11:19-20 KJV
(19) For ye suffer fools gladly, seeing ye yourselves are wise.
(20) For ye suffer, if a man bring you into bondage, if a man devour you, if a man take of you, if a man exalt himself, if a man smite you on the face.

Romans 1:22-25 KJV
(22) Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
(23) And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
(24) Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
(25) Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
The church should be called by ALL NATIONS the “house of prayer” as they should see us and we are to be the source of praise of God in this earth.
Instead, they see the moneychangers who exchange the glory that is due Him from ALL NATIONS for money…the image of corruptible man.

Mark 11:15-18 KJV
(15) And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves;
(16) And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple.
(17) And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves.
(18) And the scribes and chief priests heard it, and sought how they might destroy him: for they feared him, because all the people was astonished at his doctrine.

(18) For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error.
Do not listen to their “great swelling words of vanity” nor their promise of “liberty” from the keeping of the Holy Commandment. Only those who truly DO the Word shall be saved. We must be DOERS of the “Law” and not just hearers only.
(19) While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.

They exchange the Truth of God for THE lie and serve and worship the teachings and commandments of men more than the Creator.
Even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God has given over such to a reprobate (rejected) mind to do those things which are not convenient.
The “reprobate mind” is the false teacher in their church who teaches things he ought not be (the teachings and commandments of men that his puffed up mind as vainly “seen”) for money’s sake. They fall victim to the “pastor” of the church who flattered them into keeping company with them….joining along with them in the teachings and commandments…speaking and affirming of what they speak. They abandon the natural use of the “woman” for kindness and love in order to speak the evil of what their fellow congregants are speaking.
(28) And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
The “woman” is the tongue of breath that we use to speak words. Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth. The "woman" must "ready herself" by doing so.
Ephesians 4:29 KJV
(29) Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
Let none of these things come out of the mouth…..
Colossians 3:8 KJV
(8) But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.
Christ should be at the hidden man of the heart and we are His “bride” who has “readied herself” by putting off the evil communication out of the mouth (the woman…the breath…the spirit).
Revelation 19:6-10 KJV
(6) And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.
(7) Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
The “wife”…the “woman”…has made herself ready: by putting off all evil communication out of the mouth. The fine linen is the righteousness of the saints who have put to death sin (the LAMB)….the evil that comes out of the mouth.
(8) And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
Only then can they preach the “true sayings of God” to others. Only then can they be a fellowservant of Christ and preach His testimony to others.
(9) And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.
(10) And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
We are to lay aside all malice and all fraud (guile)…all evil speaking…and hear the Word of Truth when we hear it so that we may grow in His knowledge. Blessed are those who are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb…the hearing of the true sayings of God in their ears…as the Lord comes to open up our minds to the Scriptures.
We are expected to hear and refrain our tongues from all evil so that we might enter into hearing the mysteries of the kingdom. Outside are those who will be found not putting Christ on at the hearing of His voice. Even what they have heard will be removed from their hearts lest they turn and be converted and be healed by Him.
1 Peter 2:1-3 KJV
(1) Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings,
(2) As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:
(3) If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
The tongue is the “weaker vessel” that readily speaks what is in the heart…out of the hidden man of the heart. We are to let Christ within us rule over our tongues always. How we conduct our tongue in the presence of unbelievers can be effective as others can be “won” by the “conversation of the wives”….the behavior of our tongue.
1 Peter 3:1-7 KJV
(1) Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives;
(2) While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear.
Let us not use our tongues for flattery of others…..the outward “adorning”. We must not use our tongues for a cover of covetousness that is being done in all churches of men.
(3) Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;
The “hidden man of the heart” is to have an ornament of a “meek and quiet spirit”…that is, the meek and quiet breath….the meek and quiet “woman” in subjection to the “hidden man of the heart”...following Christ.
(4) But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.
(5) For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands:
(6) Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement.
We must dwell with our tongues according to His knowledge giving special attention to what comes out of our mouths. By doing so, our prayers shall not be hindered. Our words shall be heard by God and by others if we always pay attention to what comes out of our mouths…ruling over the “weaker vessel”. What comes out of the mouth is what defiles the “man”.
(7) Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.
We are espoused to One Husband and we are to put out of our mouths ALL evil communication according to Christ within us. We are to be presented as a “chaste virgin to Christ”. All evil communication must be put off...thereby making the "wife" ready for preaching the Word of truth to others.
2 Corinthians 11:1-7 KJV
(1) Would to God ye could bear with me a little in my folly: and indeed bear with me.
(2) For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.
But there are MANY false teachers in this world who are serving their own belly rather than Jesus Christ our Lord. The “serpent” crawls upon the belly as they are only minding earthly things…how to get their earthly needs met by you paying them in their churches where they set aside His commandment in order to serve and worship the teachings and commandments of men.
(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.
MANY see themselves as “wise” for letting these men come and lead them astray from the simplicity that is in Christ. They “bear well with them”.
The false teachers come preaching another Jesus who told His followers to “freely give” as they have freely received.
And many so “wisely” receive another spirit…that is, breath…that they have not received. They are deceived by false teachers into abandoning the natural use of the woman…the tongue or the spirit (breath) …and speak the same evil communications that their false teachers speak.
We readily receive their same breath…their evil communications that come out of their mouths…as we speak and affirm of what they say. We abandon the natural use of our mouths in order to speak their evil words in unison…in agreement… with them.
(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.
(5) For I suppose I was not a whit behind the very chiefest apostles.
(6) But though I be rude in speech, yet not in knowledge; but we have been throughly made manifest among you in all things.
And they preach things that they ought not be for money’s sake. They do not preach freely. They speak only for money...the image. The image speaks.
(7) Have I committed an offence in abasing myself that ye might be exalted, because I have preached to you the gospel of God freely?
Those who profess themselves as “wise” let these men come and lead them astray from the Way of righteousness. The false teacher is the “reprobate mind” that they are given over to in order to join along with them in their words and being filled with all unrighteousness.
Romans 1:25-32 KJV
(25) Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
(26) For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
They leave the natural use of the tongue or spirit in order to speak what their false teacher speaks…and they take pleasure within the heart of those who do such things.
(27) And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
(28) And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
(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:
They know the Truth of God (the judgment of God that those who do such things are worthy of death). Yet, they exchange the truth of God for the lie and serve and worship the commandments of men. They think that they have "peace and safety" for doing such things...but they perish.
They have pleasure within the hidden man of the heart of those who do such things who use their mouths for evil as they speak evil of others as “evil doers” who do not keep their handwriting of church dogmas that their “scribes” have engraved for them to keep.
(32) Who knowing the judgment 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.
Earthly-minded men ( who worry about getting paid to preach in order to get their earthly needs met) preach good words and fair speeches in order to seduce the simple…those who become forgetful to always having love for one another ( forgetting to keep the “daily” sacrifice of our Lord – always bearing about in the body the dying of our Lord Jesus who loved us and gave Himself for us so that we might have His eternal life in this earth).
They come forth and flatter us with their words in order to get paid. They speak great swelling words of emptiness (as they have NO KNOWLEDGE of the Scriptures) in order to get dishonest gain. They deceitfully handle the Word of God for unjust gain and do not feed their congregations with the Word of Truth and are only feeding themselves….literally…as they serve only for their belly and not the Lord Jesus Christ. They make a gain of those that they are deceiving and leading astray….making them perishing merchandise.
They seduce MANY away from the keeping of the “daily” sacrifice so that the eternal life of the Lord never is made manifest in the mortal flesh of those who are being led down the broad way to their destruction from off this earth under the wrath of God.
