Your Blessings Shall Be Curses Upon You

Every church today proclaims to follow and teach the Way of God, yet find one excuse after the other to NOT follow that Way to the 'letter', eventhough Jesus clearly states that not one jot nor tittle shall fall from it...

Countless millions proclaim their belief and trust in a God whose ways they cast off as being too difficult or too hard or too old fashioned. They claim to have salvation, yet Jesus clearly states that salvation can only come via Him, and that those who follow him must follow the Father as He does....the SAME Father whose ways are too hard, too difficult, and too old fashioned.

Over and over self proclaimed believers, saved, and churches use the words "God Bless ..." this or that, without even considering WHAT it is they are asking (demanding) God to bless. Are there retributions for this? Consequences? God states there are. God states that one who believes in Him will not wish evil well. What is 'evil'? According to God its anything that goes contrary to His teachings and the Truth.

Yet there they are everyday; ordained "ministers and men of God" bestowing blessings on everything from false Christs to false teachings, immorality to out right criminality, and doing it all in the name of God.

And what of the individual?... I have yet to come across one self proclaimed 'Christian' who didn't try to bless everything and everyone as being his or her 'brother or sister' in Christ, (what IS Christ anyway...does the term not mean TRUTH...SALVATION ?), how is it that that which is untrue can be truth; how is it that that which is contray to what God teaches is required for salvation can be saved?

Ahhh...the all inclusive GRACE.

So how logical is it that an infinitely wise God, ( whose thoughts men can't possibly know;... which is what every self proclaimed 'Christian' reverts back to when cornered or caught in a contradication ), would take the time to send countless prophets, record a book of laws, instructions and guides, insights, understandings, knowledge, and wisdom, and then correct any individual or nation that transgressed those teachings, only to turn around and save EVERYONE ALIKE in UNITY whether they complied with what was written in that book or didn't?

Sounds kinda unfair to those who sacrficed and went through one hardship after another and countless persecutions, even being martyred in the name of God's Gospel and truth. Most would reply that the ways of God are unknown or a mystery to men. Yet Christ states that those who know his mind (thoughts) know those of the Father as he and the Father are one in mind and thougt...

So what is it then? God is the author of cofusion? He states He is not; thus is He a liar? I think not. I think the false church started by Simon the Socerer is what is known as "Christianity' today. 'Oh nooo'... you say... that was the former Roman Catholic church; to which I would ask...whom is the Mother harlot and from whence did her harlot daughters come if not out of her? ...and from which mother church were ALL Protestant churches Birthed in TRAVIAL...?

God teaches His people not to make nor use any image, graven, carved, drawn or otherwise to represent Him or anything else in heaven and bow down to it; yet ALL of Christianity holds the cross sacred, never mind its origins in the Babylonian Mysteries.

Israel (America); God's OWN CHOSEN people; deny the very truth of their heritage. Choosing instead to identify themselves with the heathen and anti-Christian traditions of those within and about them, then seek God's Blessings upon that which they do in inequity.

If you consider yourself to be a Christian and saved, you need to be prepared to justify those assertions before Christ Himself. If you cannot do so against a mere man; how do you propose to before your Lord?

America is facing civil unrest, famine, war, pestilence, invasion, and enslavery, not necessarily in that order. The MidEast will soon be controlled by the Muslim Brotherhood under Islam. America will pay a premium for its oil, IF it gets any at all. The economy will fail..completely. Food will be in short supply as will compassion and authority, riots will ensue which will fill each American cities with violence and a nation with despair.

The more you of Christianity seek the blessings of He whom you worship in inequity and whose teachings you pervert through your vain imaginations the more He will hold you in derision. Consider what is is you claim to be and whom you claim to represent...and compare your doctrines to His, His teachings to yours, and the name of your nation to that of His government; and determine...whom is at fault, He or you?

Shall that which is immoral be the crown jewels of that which is moral? Shall it be tollerable for that which is Holy be known by that which is not?

Shall that which is true be honored by that which is a lie?

Shall the Kingdom of God be subject to the nature and will of men?

God Forbid.

Are you following every jot and tittle? Coz if you live in America...recently renamed as Israel apparently...how have you managed to avoid getting arrested for all that stoning of adulterers and gays you've carried out (among other illegal activities prescribed in the bible).

Thank God no one follows every jot and tittle in the bible I say.

Umm... you need an update my friend, that is the old testament, the covenant of Law between God and Israel. In the new testament when a crowd was going to stone a woman for being an adulterer Jesus stepped in front of them and said "let he who is without sin cast the first stone" and the crowd began to disperse.
Christians are supposed to let God be the judge of man, we are not to judge our fellow man, for that is gods job.

You make some very good points.

I do not know who in the USA God would call &#8220;Christian&#8221; (Christ like).

Severe persecution seems to have been used by God in the first few centuries to purify the believers, so that might be what we need.

You might also want to look at the underground Church in China to see if you have the same complaint?

Did Christ judge her not to be an adultress? ...or did He prevent the crowd from condeming her as such? The answer lies in the revelation following in which he admonished her to go her way and sin no more.

If He admonished and hence forgave her, was he not upholding the judgment of the men, BUT commuting the sentenance by which they were condeming her?

If man is not to judge we, accordingly MUST open ALL prisons, abolish ALL laws, and NEVER judge ANY action or thought to be 'wrong'. And what does THAT result in...every man doing that which is right in his own eyes...which I think God commands men not to do does he not?

I always find it interesting that those who disagree with Christ seek to justify that disagreement in the actions of those who do strive to follow Him.

One would think that if their opposition were so verifiable it would stand alone as opposed to having to be propped up on the perceived transgressions of those who strive to attain the title of Christian.

I agree with the teachings of Jesus on a lot of things. But I was responding to you, not Jesus.

:D Says the guy whose OP title could easily be "The perceived transgressions of those who strive to attain the title of Christian".

Subtitle: Everyone else is rubbish 'cept me.

Author: The only true christian left alive.

Specks and motes methinks.
