THE DROWNING OF GOD’S WORD

Today many people who profess themselves as great teachers of Christ teach their students a watered down version of God’s word. Many of our most prominent teachers do this. It makes them money, afterall, to speak everything in a positive manner. Like bad things don’t come to evildoers. Teaching that God is basically a pacifist who’s ready to reward just about all of mankind. Teaching to raise the ego of people to think they are empowered and destined for greatness. As a true member of the election of grace I can say this is foolhearty. Not everybody has a destiny. As a matter of fact, by far most people don’t have a destiny. This may not be something many Christians would like to hear but it’s true. You most likely don’t have a destiny.

Nearly everyone is here to just do one thing. Making a choice. That’s it. That and procreation is very much encouraged with God blessing your marriage. How can a person have a fair shot to make the right choice if we all have a destiny? What I mean by that is people die at early ages all of the time. Some people die in their early twenties. Did that person have as good of a chance to make the right choice as a person who lived until 80? If they both had destinies, how unfair would that be?

Many people will say to someone who’s lost a loved one “it was his/her time”. How do they know? Some people just die and it had nothing to do with God. There are accidents, diseases, murder, stupidity, and other things that might take a person’s life. If a person is murdered, how can it be that person’s time? That’s not a destiny.

I’m afraid this generation will have so many people thinking they’re either escaping the tribulation or they built their spiritual strength with milktoast teaching that they will be utterly unprepared and will have no idea what to do when the most convincing one will do his best to help them fail. It’s time to wake up. We’re at the door!

Everyone better be prepared and have ideas of how hard indeed it will be in the last days. It’s called the worst period of time in this age’s history for a reason. Ever really truly wonder what it was like for Jews in Europe in the ’30s and ’40s? War gripped nearly the entire world. The people in London were hiding in subways from the blitzkrieg. Imagine all of that and think of the weapons of today. Think of the global interest in the world today. All it would take is the snapping of a twig to send this entire world into chaos the likes you can’t imagine. The only thing you can do is prepare yourselves with God’s real word and make sure your soul does not fail you. What are you going to do when the tribulation starts and you’re still here thinking you were supposed to be raptured and realize your teachers have failed you? How far a drop will your faith take? Satan’s counting on that. Ezekial 13:20 speaks against teachers who teach their flock how to fly. That can only mean teachers who teach their flock the rapture. What else would it mean? That’s why it says time and time again in the NT to prepare yourself. Read the blog “The Rapture” and get your head out of thinking you get to fly away while those God chose as his prophets of the last generation have to be here.

Feeling empowered today will only allow you to have a bigger fall when things go wrong. Humble yourselves. Don’t think “God has my back and I can’t fail.” If you do, you will fail and you will hear it from Him. You better read and prepare yourselves to make your own decision of who to follow. To you it may sound like an easy choice now, but I promise you it’s going to be the toughest thing you will ever have to do. Don’t smile and think you’re floating through the air when it comes to God’s word. Be determined to get to know the book beyond what your teachers teach you, no matter the denomination. As it’s written in Revelation 2-3, only two churches of Christ Jesus has no fault in, and they don’t even exist yet. The churches of Philadelphia and Smyrna were the only ones not to fail Jesus and both were started by Peter, but since his first church was in Ephesus that would be called the Church of Peter. Since the churches of Philadelphia and Smyrna weren’t a newer kind of church when it was established by Peter, then that means the ones Jesus was talking about do not exist yet. Every denomination of the church of Christ has failed him and has failed you. Read on your own. You can go to church, but read on your own. More than likely, your teacher will not know what to do when the time comes either.
