Christian Study

Our society no longer knows farming and thus misses the point of the Parable of the Sower. Ask any farmer if he spends any time on the seeds that fall among stones or among thorns. He will likely tell you he spends all of his time on the seed that falls on good ground.

Over the last couple hundred years missionary work has changed to only working the stony places and thorns. We have a couple hundred years of results to prove this doesn’t work plus scripture. Later we find that many who we were told were Christians were not. While the good ground has been ignored an enemy has come in and ridiculed the Gospel and changed the teaching in the schools and churches to destroy the harvest. These are the tares that have been sowed among the good seed. The good seed now has to grow among false doctrine and political correctness.

Because of this we are now in the final stage of the Kingdom of Heaven where the broadcast planting is past and the treasure in the field and the pearl are searched out. When a net is used the good fish are picked out and the bad are discarded.

By the way, there is never any attempt in scripture to help, teach or reform the seed in the bad ground or the tares. They are simply left to die or are forcibly removed at the harvest. Beware. Christians defend the tares because they have been taught false doctrine. Truth is hidden and ridiculed.

Read Matthew 13 and discern the truth.

If you never noticed most of today’s “Christian” churches are very corrupt. Those who are anti-Christ have snuck in unaware and have been slowly changing the doctrine of the churches over the years. This has especially happened in the Christian colleges and preacher schools. Your preacher was likely trained this way unaware.

Your church in the 1950’s would likely disfellowship your church today. The membership have been trained to take what the preacher and society say over scripture. You can show them book, chapter and verse and they will not care. Find the oldest audio or print sermons or lesson books your church has and go through all that you can. If any of it offends you then you will know there has been change.

Your church now supports and helps those who hate Christ. It does this through false doctrine, false history and the very slow changes that have taken place over the years. Your church is no longer a threat to the enemies of Christianity.

Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. Matthew 5:13.

Amos3:7 “Surely the lord Yahweh will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.”

Everything God does is known to God’s prophets. It is all in scripture. Our people are not a second choice brought in as an after thought. In order for there to be a non-Israelite people who have taken the place of Israel, one would need to find scripture where God specifically tells the prophets that God intends to bring in another people without violating existing scripture. Some think this is in the New Testament, but the Greek text does not support this. The answer is to find the real Israel by looking to the prophets. There are over one hundred clues in scripture.

Daniel 2:44a “And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people”.

Yesterday we showed that God, who is also Christ, did not love the entire world as the English translation of John 3:16 erroneously reads. Another detail that is often unknown is that the scripture does not teach that we are to absolutely love everyone.. The doctrine of love everyone is false. It has a very serious flaw with serious consequences. This false doctrine is a part of our problem today. We are now being punished for it.

We indeed must love our enemies.

Matthew 5:44 “But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you”.

At the same time scripture is clear.

2 Chronicles 19:2 “And Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him, and said to king Jehoshaphat, Should thou help the ungodly, and love them that hate Yahweh? therefore is wrath upon thee from before Yahweh.”

The differences we have with our enemies can be petty or important, but scripture does not differentiate. It is God’s enemies that have important differences. As Christ warned, they hate Christ and thus they hate us. We must make sure that we treat them as scripture requires. We must learn to differentiate between those who love God, but hate us and those who hate God. Those who hate God do not fall under the love our enemies rule. Loving or even helping them brings wrath on us from God and earns one the status of traitor.

2 John 1:7, 9-11 “For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.”

We as a people must ignore who some of them say they are and begin to deal with what they actually do. There are people in this world who we help and bless all the time, but they hate God. They hate Christ with a passion. They even spit when they hear the name of Christ. It is helping those people that brings us punishment from God. When one actually does some research on those people, the claim as to who they are in relationship to God is found to be false. In history, when we have stopped blessing those who hate God, God has then blessed us.

1 John 2:23 “Whoever denies the Son, the same doesn’t have the Father. He who confesses the Son has the Father also.”

John 3:16 “For God so loved the world”.

That is what the English translation says, but it is not what the apostle John wrote. Here is what John wrote.

“For God so loved the order”.

2889 kósmos (literally, "something ordered") – properly, an "ordered system" (like the universe, creation).

One author has used the word society. The world is full of ordered groups or societies that are good and evil. The word itself is neutral. The order can be good or evil. The answer to what God loves is in the verse itself.

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

John 3:16 references a promise to send a savior so that those who believe in God should not perish. So we know that the part of the world or order or society that should be saved are those to whom the promise was made.

John 3:16 does not teach that God loves the entire world. It teaches that God loves an ordered group or society in the world. It is that group, those who believe in Him that God provides eternal life.

The bible is full of little details like this. It is these little details that give truth and understanding to all of scripture. One can get by without knowing some of these. Some are fundamental to the truth and understanding of scripture. The bible has an entirely different understanding. when one finds many of these details. Many debates happen because someone has found one of these details of which others are unaware. All of the details are important.

An online post suggested the need for the following comments. Many do not still understand the differences between what is modern Judaism and God’s Hebrew religion.

The biblical Israel new year begins with Spring. The first month of God’s year is Abib. After Babylon, corruption was brought back. The beginning of their year was in the month Nissan in the Fall of the year. This is also where the Friday evening start of a Sabbath came from. Every thing the modern day Jews do starts with darkness and death. Even the translation of “new moon” should read new Month.

God’s day begins with light, not darkness. God’s year begins with new life, not death. When Christ came he reformed the corrupted Phariseeism and the Hebrew religion became known as Christianity. Christianity is the Hebrew religion without the need for the Levitical priesthood or sacrifices. Christ is our High Priest and sacrifice.

The modern day Jews are not, and have never been, God’s Israel people. In the bible sheep stands for Israelites by definition. Christ said,

“My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me”. John 10:27

Christ was not talking about some other people. The other sheep fold are another part of the same people as explained in Hosea and Romans 9:25

“The Kingdom shall not be left to other people”. Daniel 2:44b

There are major differences between the religion of the Hebrews that became Christianity and the modern day Jews Phariseeism that came from Babylon.

The writers of the New Testament wrote what they meant and meant what they wrote. Spiritualizing takes away the intended meaning. An incorrect translation does the same.

Romans 14:14 “I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing common of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be common, to him it is common.”

In Romans 14:14 Paul wrote the word common three times. Translators preferring to protect church doctrine wrote the word unclean.

The meaning is totally different than what churches teach. The verse is about food offered to idols and has nothing to do with unlcean things that are not food at all.
