SERMONETTE
ONLY ONE
WAY
I
believe
that
the
Jewish
Old Testament and the Christian New Testament are the
word of God; That according to that word no man comes
to the Father except through the Son. He that has not
the Son, has not the Father. Not the way he is needed
anyway. Therefore no other religion has the Father
(has God). At least, not unto salvation. And we need
him that much. For, according to scripture, we have
all fallen short, without his forgiveness we are lost.
That forgiveness only comes through Jesus Christ. God
the Father commanded all men everywhere to repent and
believe the Gospel. It would seem that many want to
make out like there never was a Christ. Or at least,
not a Savior Christ who was the Son of God. As if the
very idea of it is hated.
Many
religions
may
have
some
truth,
some godly wisdom, but not the wisdom of the
gospel. So they fall short at best. And
since they do not point to Christ they must
point away from him. For Jesus in scripture
said that they who are not for him are
against him. I reckon that this is so
because the evil is so great, or God allows
the evil to be so great, that one or the
other is inevitable. You end up either
for him or against him.
Allowing for the
setting aside of the ceremonial portions of the
Old Testament Law (animal sacrifices,
circumcision, clean and unclean and strict
observance of holy days) until Christ comes
back, true progress in any day and age lies in
one direction and one direction only; in God’s
Old Testament Law fulfilled in Christ
established in your heart, in your life, and in
your community as much as possible, as much as
needful. For Jesus said that not one jot nor one
tittle shall in any way pass from the law ’til
heaven and earth pass away. Why? Because it was
made to fit this world and everything in it for
all time. Why as much as needful, as much as
possible? So that God’s people, or those who
would be God’s people, can live a truly godly
and upright life, and still live.
Jesus said that he
would build his church and the gates of hell
would not prevail against it. Does he want his
children walking in the dressed up evil of the
day? No. He wants us to do better than that. He
wants us to seek first the kingdom of God and
his righteousness. He does not want us to be
conformed to this world, but to be transformed
by the renewing of our minds, that we may prove
what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect
will of God. (Rom 12.2)
(JUSTICE=RIGHTEOUSNESS)
In my belief then, the Old and
New Testament scriptures are the guide book, sufficient
for life and soul. How it is interpreted
then is everything.
Part of the Lord’s prayer is,
“Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth, as it is
in heaven.” That will shall be exemplified during what
must be the soon to come1000 year reign of Christ by his
law going forth from Mt. Zion and the word of the Lord
from Jerusalem. (Micah 4.2b)
Paul, the apostle, also said, “
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are honest,
whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are
pure,... if there be any virtue, if there be any praise,
think on these things.” (Phillip. 4.8) If honesty or
justice meant little to God Paul would not have said
these things. If justice is important then what is
justice? What do you weigh it against?
God’s word, rightly
interpreted. And to that end you pray. What then is that
justice? MICAH 4.4 : “But they shall sit every man
under his vine and under his fig tree; and none shall
make them afraid: for the mouth of the Lord of hosts
hath spoken it.” I believe from the context around this
verse that it isn’t just applying to the nation of
Israel, but to all the nations. And there will be no
bank-man, no rent-man, no property taxes involved.
But if we are to pray now for
his kingdom to come and his will be done on earth as it
is in heaven; And if whatsoever things that are just we
are suppose to think upon (that we might do the good and
eschew the evil); then what’s the hang-up? Why isn’t it
every man under their own vine and under their own fig
tree? What stands in the way?
Why, it must be whatever
powers, or groups, or interests that are rooted in
today, to whom this justice is the furthest thing from
their minds, and their hearts, and their intents. What
might these be? Why, the government for one. And the
bank-man, the rent-man, the pure money investors
(usurers) for two. These are the ones who stand in the
way of the will of God. These, then, are the wicked.
How the government? Well, if
one were to try to address the government on this vine
and fig issue, which is part of God’s true justice, why,
it’d laugh you to scorn. They throw this republic thing
up in your face. There must then be something fishy
about this republic thing and there is. It’s
idolatry. To a pagan, maybe no biggy. But to true
justice it is. Idolatry is the rage of God and through
big idolatries big evils work. And look at how many men,
like zombies, buy into that idolatry, into that cult.
And look at how it is used by entrenched powers
such as the bank-man, the rent-man, and pure investment
usurer. The powers that be are ordained of God, but so
are the wicked to their wickedness. It isn’t the power
that a wise man would object to, only to those who would
use that power, such as the pagan priesthood of
pagan idol republic, to promote themselves and the evil
they would promote.
I wholly believe that the
bank-man’s peace, the rent-man’s peace, the peace of
pagan idol republic and pagan idol democracy are the
devil’s peace and that they who rest therein, who trust
therein, have made and do make their bed in hell.
Purgatory at least. Corporate machinations may in many
ways be leading the charge today with a lot of vice out
on the front lines but it is these even more underlying,
entrenched evils that are the roots of this end time
strong delusion, that so many conveniently, and
willingly buy into, heart and soul.
I even believe there is a devil
behind the idolatry of republic. How so? Deduction I
suppose. This idea lives in the minds and hearts of so
many that it is as if it has a life of its own. If one
were to try to pin it on one man or group and try to
drive that man or group out it wouldn’t avail. Again,
it’s as if it had a life of its own. There must be a
devil behind it, then. A particular devil even. I think
it is no less than the beast of the book of Revelation.
Hail the beast! Pagan idol republic; that so many
zombies worship, pagan and even Christian zombies. Lost
in a convenient cult. And so they cheat God, themselves,
and their neighbors for convenience’s sake, for
expediency’s sake, for the sake of the things of this
world. Some say they are living for God. I think they
are just living for their flesh. To me the proof
is that they sanctify and justify the evil and the
wicked, and/ or do that wickedness themselves. Lip
service and painted up evil don’t make the wrong right.
For many, to repent, to truly
repent, is simply not convenient. But without repentance
there is no Gospel.
