In transgressing and
lying against the LORD,
and departing from
our God, speaking oppression and revolt,
conceiving and
uttering from the heart words of falsehood.
Justice is turned
back, and righteousness stands afar off;
for truth is fallen
in the street, and equity cannot enter.
So truth fails, and
he who departs from evil
makes himself a prey.
Then the LORD saw it,
and it displeased Him
that there was no
justice.
Isaiah 59: 13 – 16
When
history has either forgotten or ignored people are easily misled to accept by
acquiescence the suppositions that may be presented to them by those who have
an agenda which is contradictory to Scripture.
What is occurring is a transgressing and lying against God. What is being apprehended by the uneducated
are words of falsehood that seem to have uttering from a heart; this leads to
oppression and revolt from the truth.
By departing from the truth, justice is turned back, and righteousness
stands a far off. Truth fails, God sees
this failure and is displeased that there is no justice. In their blindness to the truth man will
design and develop a truth that is suitable to their presuppositions and
theories. This can be easily discerned
by looking at those men who confronted the early church with philosophies, and ideologies,
and theologies that contradict Scripture.
Without knowledge of Scripture, the truth of Scripture, and Authentic
Biblical Faith, man may either tacitly accept what sounds truthful, yet it is
only is an acceptance by them designing what they want God to be, and how the
origin of life came to exist. The
problem that I have been outlining by an examination of such philosophers as
Plato is to aid us to understand how all were, the church, and society as a whole,
have been affected by such philosophies leading to a Christianity, and a
practice that is supposed as to be Christian, yet he is not scriptural. Plato in his supposition and theory of Moore
as, that is, that what is visible on the Earth is only in representation of
that which is actual in heaven is nothing more than dualism and creating
the idea that what is visible on the earth is not the truth or real and in fact
has led to the idea that the visible things on the earth are bad. This idea from Platoism is a foundational
element in Gnosticism. This dualism can
be explained in this manner: if you see a chair which is visible to your
eyesight, is all only a representation of the actual chair in heaven. This led to a belief that the visible man is
all only a representation of a visible God, that God is anthropomorphic and has
a body, which is a foundational belief in Mormonism. It is also a foundational belief in Gnosticism whereby God who is
considered to be good could never be the creator of that which is visible
because what is visible is bad and evil.
Therefore God being good had to create a being, which is found in the
beliefs of Jehovah witnesses, a god that would be the creator and that which is
evil would be attributed to him, but they went further in Gnosticism by saying
that God not only created a creator but also created a brother to this created
creator, which we know as Satan who is evil personified. These formed religions relied upon mysticism
and many churches today who claim to be Christian and rely on mysticism, or The
Supernatural mysticism that God will speak directly to an individual revealing
a truth which cannot be verified by Scripture.
This is a problem with them the church in this problem has resulted from
the influence of those men who develop a religion contrary to the revealed word
of God. This mysticism had the ring of
being truthful but has led man in all ages who have fallen prey to such
contradiction to depart from the truth that is revealed to us by God in his
Word. By hiding, or veiling, or
dispensing altogether, historical facts and truth as to why certain groups, or
denomination, that claim to be Christian, have developed a religious and
practice that has "suckered" people to believe that which is disgusting to any
sensible person; viz, having pastors that act drunk and staggering all over the
platform as though they have been struck by the Holy Spirit, or having people barking
like dogs and crawling all over the floor, or being slain in the spirit as
though God has knocked them unconscious, or by passing through tunnels of fire
as though this represents some piety towards a person's worship to God. I ask, where in the Scriptures can any of
this be found? Ask yourself have you
fallen prey to such blasphemy? And if
so are you willing to dispose of such transgression that leads to an injustice
to God? This has been the fight that
Authentic Biblical Christians have had to fight from the very foundation of the
Christian Church. It is a fight today
for the Truth! Will you join this fight
for the Truth? Or, will you acquiesce
and join to religious ideas that have combined or have conjoined Christian
thought with Oriental religions such as Zorastrianism, or Gnosticism, and are
filled with Neoplatonism? If so then
what you have come to believe or practice is displeasing the to God. Yes, the church has had to fight this
injustice to God that has come into the church and many more but God has not
left his people and he will not leave you for he has elected his people and has
not, as the Deist may admit, left his people and in a vacuum, for he is present
in the hearts and souls of each and every one of His children. Here is the hope thatis in the hearts of God's children by
the proof of God's Word and it is the hope that leads us through the many
troubles, persecutions, and other objections that are cast towards Authentic
Biblical Christians. Our hope does not
lie in this temporal world for we are legally already present with the Lord in
Heaven, with him, and await his return to Earth on the Last Day when we will be
united eternally and the complete removal of all sin that confronts His people.
The question for each of us is: are we living temporally, or eternally?
Blessed are those servants whom the master,
when he
comes, will find watching.
Assuredly, I say to you that he will gird himself
and have
them sit down to eat, and will come
and serve them…. Therefore you also be ready,
for the Son
of Man is coming at an hour
you do not expect.
Luke 12: 37; 40
Prepare Now; Live Now; Eternally
