DON'T SWALLOW HOOK LINE AND SINKER

.

The church has become a privatized community as against the biblical narrative and a lot of errors  are perpetrated in the name of practicing Christianity. The Emergence of fallacies that have no biblical base but human finger print all over. Which begs question which we will be treating in this blog.

 I hate the fact that the people and Christians of this Generation are not as enlightened as they should be and swallows everything hook line and sinker even to their own detriment.

Christians nowadays have been programmed by this church system to think that the litmus test for what we practice and don't practice in this kingdom is what their so-called men of God say or do. 

Christians have been brain washed to feel that asking questions and contesting non biblical practice is heresy against God Himself, what an error.

Every time they take the pulpit, ninety percent of these egocentric men have their ego and love for worldliness preached as the word or message from God.

I heard one of these arrogant men say he is  accountable to God and not to men. rightly said but not when you teach, practice and dwell in error.
As long as the greed and non biblical practice continue there will always be questions.

Don't forget that Jesus our example never shied from questions, he entertained and answered all even those they thought of (Matthew 12 vs 10, Mathew 20 vs22, Matthew 22 vs 23, mark 7 vs 5) these verse goes on and on. Never for once did Jesus turn the people away but he answered so well that the people became out of questions at some point. 

Matthew 22 vs. 46 and no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more question.

This question and answer opportunity was not only restricted to the Pharisees and Sadducees but also, his disciples asked question as well to clear their own confusion (Matthew 17 vs 10.)

When I analyzed these questions, i realized they were questions that demanded from Jesus reasons and purpose of what he did and practice. Most so-called minister of the Gospel goes into attack mode when they are questioned about their ways which doesn't go in line with scriptures.

Sadly so, they also take the prerogative to bend the scriptures to suit their obsessions because as we know the scriptures is the only book that is powerfully relative in all ways and it bends around issues and things to solve issues or effect peace. Only God has the allowance to bend his word. 

Every Christian holds his or herself the duty to search and find out for themselves the ancient but modern paths, the old but current instructions.

Acts 17 vs. 11 these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.

In light of the above scripture pardon me to assert the following: Nobility in this kingdom is birthed on  how dogged you are in the scriptures, not easily deceived and always testing teaching to sieve off shaft

2 Peter  2:1  But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.

How do you know an heresy if you are not one who has come to the conclusion according to John's warning that all spirit (teaching)  must be tested. Although some men of God has good intention for what they crop up eg. Deeper life founder: pastor kumuyi who concluded in a teaching that he was going to crash most of the entanglement he brought on his congregants because according to him, people focused on those entanglement than they do God. 

1 John  4:1  Beloved, believe not every spirit (doctrines, teachings), but try the spirits (doctrines, teachings)  whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

Paul called them noble (Act 17) not because they were his audience who sat to hear him preach , rather they were not ready to just take a mans word for it, they went searching the word of God which is the laboratory test for all Christian teaching.

We must start to wake up and understand that no matter how pragmatic, acrobatic or emotional a message is; doesn't make it from God.
