DOES GOD’S LOVE

For humanity and humanity's love for God "cancel out or prohibit" the telling of the truth of any situation or matter? ABSOLUTELY NOT! It is because of one's love for God that one stands in vindicating the character of God. Is it being judgmental of another when the error is exposed? No real true Christian will "mask" sin in any form and will expose it regardless of another one's perception of that revelation. Paul when speaking to the Ephesians stated: Eph 5:10,11 Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. The cursive word (them) in this verse was added by the translators and the original Textus Receptus doesn't contain the word (them), so the original is this: And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove.

What does the word "reprove" mean? Definition of reprove (Reprimand; express disapproval) but in today's world any reprimand of disapproval of the actions of another is always (the accusation of judgementalism) regardless of the truth o the issue. This is done because people, in general, don't like to acknowledge their misunderstanding of scripture or their practices of their religion as they perceive it. They think they have it all right for them regardless of what the scripture teaches on any issue. These kinds of "milk toast Christians" cannot learn, they are in their minds actually "reprobate" when it comes to learning. What does (reprobate) mean? Reprobate definition: as a noun "A person without moral scruples", as a verb "Reject (documents) as invalid". In theology "(theology) abandon to eternal damnation", as an adjective "Deviating from what is considered moral, right, proper or good". It's the last two definitions that are the condition of the [Milk Toast Christians.] The will be abandoned by God to eternal damnation because they deviate "from what is considered moral, right, proper or good."

For those who desire to accuse another as (judgmental) when the error they commit is exposed, these are those nominal Christians who fall into the category of being BOTH having a (reprobate in mind) and cannot stand to be reproved when they are reproved by another. These are the Christians of today found in every denomination on Earth. They don't want to hear or to (really know) the truth of God's word. When they hear it from God's word such as a quote from scripture, they still reject it. God says that these kinds of nominal believers will be given over to a (reprobate mind) by God Himself. They after they are abandoned to eternal damnation because of their unbelief of the truth, there may be no coming back from this spiritual condition as is specified by the word "eternal". Once you continue to reject the truth when you hear or read it for yourself in the word of God, and you continue to reject that truth, God then will give you over to a reprobate mind that you should believe the lies you have been taught by your minister's/preacher's and bible teacher's who are also suffering from having a reprobate mind themselves.

These verses are speaking of the (spiritually willful BLIND) to the truth. 2Th 2:7-12 For the mystery of iniquity [SATAN is the INIQUITY] doth already work: only he [the Milk Toast nominal Christian] who now letteth [Or Allows it] will let, [Will Allow] until he [the Milk Toast nominal Christian] be taken out of the way. [Through their deaths] And then shall that Wicked be revealed, [In the Judgment] whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, [By His Spoken Word] and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: [Which means by and through His divine will] Even him, [the Milk Toast nominal Christian] whose coming [Whose Beliefs in error] is after the working [Or influenced by] of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them [the Milk Toast nominal Christian and classified as a member of the wicked] that perish; because they [the Milk Toast nominal Christian] received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause [Reason] God shall send them strong delusion, [God will allow you to be Deceived if you reject His word] that they should believe a lie: That they all [the Milk Toast nominal Christian and the Wicked] might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure [Believed the lies they were taught] in unrighteousness.

Five little verses that every true Christian i.e. (servant of God) should be familiar with and should (fear) as they walk with God. Friends, if you as a servant of God feel that it's NOT your place to (reprove) unrighteousness when you see it then you're a member of the (reprobate minded) who had rather accept the lies you have been taught, rather than abandoning them and learning to walk in the true light of God's word. There will be many of [the Milk Toast nominal Christians] found in the Lake of Fire while they spend their lives believing they are right with God.

EXAMPLE: The very first commandment of God's Law says: Exo 20:2,3 I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt have no other gods before me. If you as a servant of God reject the truth of God's word when it's revealed to you on any biblical topic be it (life or death or servanthood to God) then you have broken this commandment as you have become your own "god" by accepting lies above the truth.

God wasn't just speaking to the Hebrews here, He was speaking to the entire world. The event of the Exodus from Egypt is and was a type of the redemption by the blood on the doorpost of the antitype of the shedding of the blood or the laying down of His life for the redemption of the world when on the cross. One, the Exodus from Egyptian bondage was a temporal redemption. The other on the cross from the bondage of Satan's captivity was and IS a (spiritual redemption). There are many types and antitypes found in scripture, but many read it their lifelong lives and never see the parallels. If God was and is the only true God who requires that you acknowledge Him as such for the Hebrews who came out of Egypt, how much more so for all those in the entire world who are aware of the cross of Christ? You cannot half serve God!

It's either His way (all the way) or it's (none of the way) at all.

Will God turn the other cheek to (willful human sin) after His cross on Calvary? Absolutely NOT! The provision for the redemption of the Hebrews out of Egypt wasn't completed until after 40 years when their offspring entered into the promised land. It didn't just happen when they all physically left Egypt, that was only the beginning of their redemption from Egypt which is also another (type) of the antitype of the beginning of the surrendered servant of God when one decides to (come out of the world) into Jesus Christ which is only the beginning of your eventual redemption and salvation. When a [the Milk Toast nominal Christian] makes the statement [I'm saved] he/she is speaking from ignorance as though their redemption and salvation was already for sure and for all time a fact which is another lie.  Rev 3:5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. You must overcome with Christ help through the Holy Spirit OR your name will be "blotted out" of the book of life. WHY is this statement [I'm Saved] a lie? First of all, you're NOT already yet saved, (safe from falling away) you are being saved by and through the work of the Holy Spirit which is called sanctification which only takes place after being (justified) in Christ through His redemptive work for you on the Cross when you accept Him and believe Him.

When Martin Luther discovered the truth of Romans 1:17 he realized that he himself could do absolutely nothing to (earn redemption or salvation). Only those (justified) in Jesus Christ would eventually be given eternal life through and by their faith in His already accomplished work on the Cross for them who believe. Rom 1:17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith [the Faith of Jesus] to faith: [Or by my faith in Him exercised in truth] as it is written, The just shall live by faith. You cannot be considered justified by (your faith) that is only the expression before God that you believe Him and are in Him by that belief, it is only by the faith of Jesus that one is justified IN Him. Rev 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. What was the (faith of Jesus)? The little word (and) speaks volumes here. It takes both the Commandments of God (and) the (faith of Jesus) in (order) to be classified before God as a (saint).

Many today say they accept Jesus as Lord of their lives, yet disregard His commandments by their very form of worship. What does (worship) mean in theology? The definition is "(religion) show devotion to (a deity)".

QUESTION: Can a nominal servant of God i.e. the [Milk Toast Christian] abide within the definition of worship when they ignore the Commandments of God while they all claim (saved by Grace)? What does (Grace) mean? The definition of Grace: "(Christian theology) a state of sanctification by God; the state of one who is under such divine influence", this definition reduces the Grace of God to an "influence" rather than the fact of the operation of the Holy Spirit in the life. What does the word of God call (grace)? Eph 2:5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace (By Jesus Christ) ye are saved;)

QUESTION: If we are saved by grace, and the scripture clearly says that we were "quickened" by Jesus Christ back to God the FATHER through the redemptive work of Jesus on the Cross, then that quickening together back to God through Jesus Christ is called grace, Therefore Jesus IS that GRACE!

QUESTION: Who wrote the Ten Commandments of God with His own finger in stone? It was none other than Jesus Christ! So how can any nominal [Milk Toast Christian] claim Jesus Christ the (GRACE) of God exhibited on the Cross and disregard His Commandments? No one who does such will be found standing on the Sea of Glass before the Throne of God. If the scripture states and it does that BOTH the Commandments of God (and) the faith of Jesus BOTH are required to be considered a (saint of God), then why does today's church teach (grace) above the Law of God? They cannot be separated folks! You cannot have Jesus [Gods GRACE] as your Lord and Savior without having His commandments, they are inseparable. Most nominal Christians claim (grace) because they don't want to be obedient, they only want grace thinking that God's Grace trumps His requirement to obedience to His Law of Ten Commandments. Yet all of them keep most of the commandments BUT not all of them. The Lord's brother stated: James 2:10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.

EXAMPLE: No nominal Christian believes that he/she should ever disrespect their parents (commandment number five), No nominal Christian believes that he/she should ever "murder" another human being (commandment number six), No nominal Christian believes that he/she should ever commit "adultery" yet many do even in eyesight thoughts (commandment number seven), No nominal Christian believes that he/she should ever "steal" but they all do by the sin of "omission" failing to pay their tithes of 10% off the top even before they feed their children (commandment number eight), No nominal Christian believes that he/she should ever "lie" yet they all lie to themselves in saying they are (saved by grace alone) and disregard the commandments of God (commandment number nine), No nominal Christian believes that he/she should ever "covet or desire the belongings or property of another", yet they do so simply by making the following statement "I'd like to have a car or a home like that", that's coveting folks just in the statement alone (commandment number ten).

These commandments all six of them are formulated by God to govern the human characters who have surrendered to Him, they are NOT for the world as the world could care less about obeying them, they aren't concerned with pleasing God in obedience and neither is [the Milk Toast nominal Christian]. The Commandments of God were written for God's people alone, nowhere in scripture does it remotely apply to the pagan or the disobedient among humanity. They could care less about obeying God, the Commandments were specifically written for the obedient to God, and yet today the churches teach you (grace) and that because of that grace you no longer need be concerned any longer about those commandments. What did Jesus Himself say about obedience to His FATHER and better yet who instructed Jesus to write those commandments? Concerning obedience Jesus said: Joh 8:29 And he [the FATHER] that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him. Concerning as to who instructed Him to write the Ten Commandments, the answer is NO ONE because Jesus IS GOD.

When Jesus said this: Joh 12:49 For I have not spoken of myself; [as Jesus from Nazareth] but the Father which sent me, [As the Savior of the World] he gave me a commandment, [As the Savior of the World] what I should say, and what I should speak.  In other words, Jesus was speaking as the Redeemer of Humanity in everything He spoke. As to the commandment that the Father gave Him to speak, what was that commandment? That commandment was everything Christ spoke it was NOT speaking of just the Ten Commandments which were included in His statement but every word He spoke through the prophets who wrote and spoke about Himself, that was His Father's commandment to Him. Jesus never said anything He did not mean! And everything that came from His mouth was and IS the eternal word of God.

Now for the other four commandments, we have not yet covered completely even though I did state already the first commandment, so we will just go through the other three now the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th, commandments. No nominal Christian believes that he/she should ever "make any graven image to bow down too or worship it as some kind of god" yet most of them do so because a "graven image" doesn't have to be a physical image, it can be a continual thought such as: "Oh, tonight is the new "Dancing with the Stars" episode with my favorite movie star, I have got to watch that." Even though it's only a television show, it's still honored by YOU as something that is a must for you to consume with the eyes and the mind, it's become for you a graven image because you feel the desire to watch such trash (commandment number two). No nominal Christian believes that he/she should ever "take the Lord's name in vain", now let me tell you what this scripture means. In ancient Israel and even today, the name of the person represents the character of the person in the Hebrew mindset.

So the third commandment can be correctly interpreted Exo 20:7 Thou shalt not take the "CHARACTER" of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his "CHARACTER" in vain. Yet today 99% of all Christians take the character of God and drags it through the (mud of iniquity) by refusing to obey His law because they think His (grace) trumps His law. Friends, you cannot have God's (grace) i.e. Jesus Christ and then disregard His laws on any single point. To obey the Laws of God in His ten Commandments can only be done through having Jesus Christ who is the (Grace) of God in your CHARACTER. God's grace is NOT and does NOT mean "simply unmerited favor", it means having the character of Jesus Christ, and most Christians today do NOT have that character except within their own minds. You cannot separate God's character from God's grace. Nor can you separate God's Laws from His character. To do so is to be (HALF CHRISTIAN)!

No nominal Christian believes that he/she should ever"forget God's Seventh Day" yet 99.7% of all the churches today do NOT care to remember the Sabbath Seventh Day made on the last day of Creation, they all "keep the first day" of the week, and NOT one of them can give you bible truth to support their day of worship on the first day of the week. Oh, they attempt it by twisting a statement of the apostle Luke made here: Act 20:7 And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight. Clearly, within the verse it states that the reason the disciples came together was to share a meal together to (Break Bread), to fellowship together in a meal. It so happened that the Apostle Paul was among them, and because Paul was an APOSTLE not just a disciple, Paul felt the need to preach but that was NOT the reason they gathered together on this Sunday evening. Take note" [Paul began to preach after their supper meal and "continued his speech until midnight " ready to depart on Monday morning for his journey. This verse has absolutely nothing what-so-ever to do with any day of worship.

Common sense should tell you that Paul followed the Lord who arrested him on the Damascus road, and Paul understood that Jesus' custom was to worship in the Synagogue on the Seventh Jewish Day of worship, therefore Paul would follow Jesus' example in his day of worship which would be the Seventh Day "NOT" the first day of the week. When God moves you to speak YOU will speak and that is simply what Paul did after their meal together, it has nothing to do with a day of worship. Speaking of worship however Luke says :Luk 4:16 And he [Jesus] came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, [the Seventh Day of the week which is Saturday] and stood up for to read (the Fourth commandment). Jesus kept the fourth commandment as well as all the others, yet today's church is the exact opposite of the Lord, they keep the first day of the week and nowhere in scripture does it say we are to change the day of worship, the Lord Himself established. ALL of them therefore are [Nominal Milk Toast modern-day disobedient Christians.]

Law and Grace are inseparable! You cannot have the one (GRACE of God i.e. Jesus Christ) without having the other the (LAW of Christ), Gal 6:2 Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. And you can't have the LAW without having the character of Jesus Christ exhibited in His law of love. It's called the Law of Love by Theologians because it was God's love that prompted His giving of the Law to humanity in whom He loved.  Joshua stated: Jos 22:5 But take diligent heed to do the commandment and the law, which Moses the servant of the LORD charged you, to love the LORD your God, and to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and to cleave unto him, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul. When Paul said this: Rom 13:10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. Paul was NOT speaking of human love here, he was speaking of God's love in Jesus Christ which worked "no ill" towards humanity in that He gave Himself because of His love for us and became the Savior of the World fulfilling God's love for humanity and fulfilling the prophecy spoken of by "the Angel of the Lord" to Mary. Jas 1:25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. Jas 2:12 So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.

You friend will be judged by God using the Law of God. It's called the Law of liberty for the true servant of God, because that true servant will know that his/her Savior kept it [The Law of God] perfectly in their steed in their place, but this does NOT negate your personal effort to be obedient to God's law those same laws in which you will be judged by them.

Mat 1:18-21 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily. But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. These (FIVE verses) are of (a most profound truth) that many read and only see the surface words.

Mary was ALREADY "pregnant with Jesus" in verse Mat 1:18 "Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost." Then in (verse 19) Joseph was planning to end the relationship because he found out she was pregnant. In verse (20) one of the most profound verses in the New Testament while Jesus Himself was already in "gestation" within the womb of His mother Mary because He is GOD He also appeared to Joseph in a dream and told him "But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. This "angel of the Lord" was the Lord BEFORE He was ever born into the world, the pre-incarnate Son of God. This same angel of the Lord appeared also to both Hagar in the wilderness, and to Gideon, both appearances described in scripture as the "angel of the LORD". HAGARS account: Gen 16:7 And the angel of the LORD found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur. Gideon's account: Jdg 6:11 And there came an angel of the LORD and sat under an oak which was in Ophrah, that pertained unto Joash the Abiezrite: and his son Gideon threshed wheat by the winepress, to hide it from the Midianites.

The only difference in the phrases "the angel of the LORD", and "the angel of the Lord" is in the word LORD. In scripture, the word LORD in the English bible in all capital letters is the same as the Hebrew word "ELOHIM" also and is ALWAYS written in all capital letters and ELOHIM signifies the "Triune God all three members of the GODHEAD" just as the Hebrew word ELOHIM means the same and identifies the entire GODHEAD called (LORD) in our English bible. Now considering Matthew 1:20 we see a different version of the word LORD rendered as (Lord). But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. The word (Lord) as rendered here in this verse specifies the (Second Member of the Triune GODHEAD who is Jesus Christ. The word Lord with the capital (L) lowercase (ord) signifies in the English Bible the (Lord) Jesus Christ and is always written as (Lord) the Savior of the World.

Therefore, when the "angel of the Lord" capital (L) lowercase (ord) appeared to Joseph in a dream, He was both in gestation in Mary's womb, and in Joseph's dream at the same time. He is GOD folks and He can do so if He desires as nothing is impossible with God. Friends, if you're not reading the scriptures to learn and to understand, then your reading is in vain, and your knowledge of God limited, and your religion just might also be in VAIN. This is why there are [Nominal Milk Toast Christians] filling the church pews each weekend, 2Ti 3:7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

The WATCHMAN !!!
