"What are you saying, Pastor?"
Christians hold fast to the renowned verbiage, "I trust in God," or "In God we trust," or "I stand on the word of God," while filling the voids of life, not with Jesus, but instead, with anything and everything the devil has made readily available to them - man's overflow of feel good psychology, optimism, spirituality and mysticism, resulting in defeatism, not victory.
"In him (Christ) lie hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge" - Colossians 2:3 - PLUS - we're told "Do not waste time arguing over godless ideas and oldwives’ tales. Instead, train yourself to be godly," - 1 Timothy 4:7 - key being LATTER FIVE WORDS "train yourself to be godly," fluff doesn't save the soul!
Christian & Life - "One foot in heaven and the other in the world, in which we are warned by Paul in 2 Corinthians 6:14-18 - what union can there be between God’s temple and idols?"Christian & Jesus - "Both feet in heaven while on earth - nothing added, nothing taken away from the inerrant and infallible living word of Jesus Christ Living God - He is our source of rest, encouragement and strength."Is this not what Jesus was telling the Laodiceans? "But since you are like lukewarm water, neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth!"
And we don't dare rebuke a Christian, especially in North America, because they remember well the two or three retained key scriptures that brought them to salvation, disregarding the key aspects of Grace, a Free Gift, and Predestination; God drawing them to His Son according to plan, with a path and purpose encoded into their DNA.
So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time he will lift you up in honor - 1 Peter 5:6 Talk about hypocrisy! We take the free gift of GRACE, predestined to live even though we die, and then go back to playing Christian "Father forgive me for I have sinned," abusing Grace by definition, just as the Popes and the Catholic church have been doing and teaching for centuries. If this were not true, Popes and Vatican proven to be satanists behind the largest global human trafficking ring, then I could be fairly judged for judging, BUT NO!
Everyone wants answers but no one wants truth, Christian included! Like Paul, I'm good with being the bad guy. The aforementioned point is a big deal, or Jesus wouldn't have addressed hypocrisy in Matthew 16:5-11 "Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees." *** Priests, Popes, false prophets included do you suppose? ***
I'm not saying 'ALL CATHOLICS' fit this profile, anymore than suggesting all Muslims are terrorists; not to mention 9/11 was nothing shy of an inside, American political terrorist attack.
Further for the record, the Catholic bible contains 7 extra uninspired books that teach contrary to the 66 God-inspired books; this issue is never addressed and paramount, as God ordained the Protestant Reformation with global attention for good reason + HERE.
And if the above were not important, what separates it from the Book of Mormon, or the NWT (JW's - New World Translation) - when God tells us not to add nor take away from His living word - Revelation 22:18-19 | Deuteronomy 4:2 | Deuteronomy 12:32 | Proverbs 30:6?
The devil doesn't care if you are saved (born-again), he only needs to keep you distracted and away from fulfilling your divine purpose (Jeremiah 29:11). And realistically, at best, 2-5% of Christians are actually following their God-given-divine purpose - evidenced by those vaccinated and/or honoring the devils mandates in God's church during the PlanDemic, a direct result as defined by the title of this post - Christian & Life | Christian & Jesus.
Being vaccinated is fear in action, not faith in action!
What's the solution? Jesus is Grace and Grace is Jesus - and just as it all makes us Christian, then we must begin acting accordingly, responsible, loving all judging none, especially fellow Christians, whom according to Jesus, if they're not against us, in other words, preaching in His name, then they must be for us; His words, not mine, Mark 9:39-41.
Otherwise, we set a poor example to the world as Christians, not of Jesus, but of pagans, and as a result, we continue fulfilling the desires of the devil, and God's warning in Galatians 5:15 that teaches, "But if you are always biting and devouring one another, watch out! Beware of destroying one another," which is undeniable, and must change.
You're encouraged to read one of four books HERE or HERE, written by myself by the leading of the Holy Spirit, where you can meet Jesus for the first time, or to get a better handle on mans idea of religion, or perhaps to draw closer to our King of kings and Lord of lords; or perhaps you're seeking grass roots learning ... take a look HERE or HERE!
John 3:30 "He must become greater and greater, and I must become less and less."

Book of John / Matthew / Mark / Luke + the Balance of the New Testament and then to Psalms / Proverbs / Ecclesiastes / Genesis to Malachi Old Testament
