12-31-2012- CHURCH SURVEY REVEALS MY CRITIQUE OF IT
"REMARKS'
AS YOU READ SOME OF THE ARTICLES ON THIS WEB SITE, YOU WILL NOTICE THE WORDS I USE, FOR THE MODERN DAY CHURCH, SUCH AS, CARNAL CHURCH, PROFESSING CHRISTIANS, BORN AGAIN CHRISTIANS, OR BELIEVERS, AND SUCH TITLES, FOR THE DESCRIPTION OF THE VARIETY OF MEMBERS, WHO PROFESS TO BE A PART OF THE BODY OF JESUS, YAH'SHUA, THE HEAD OF THE CHURCH.
SO, I FOUND A SURVEY TAKEN BY SOMEONE, WHICH INCLUDED SOME 8475 PROFESSING CHRISTIANS.
THE SURVEY REVEALED WHAT I HAVE BEEN IMPRESSING ON THOSE OF YOU, WHO READ THIS ARTICLES.
HERE IS THE RESULTS OF THE SURVEY.
3.6% ARE FAR FROM JESUS, YAH'SHUA.
24.8% ARE WORLDLY AND CARNAL CHRISTIANS!
38% ARE CLOSE TO JESUS, YAH'SHUA.
33.5% ARE MATURE CHRISTIANS
AND FINALLY THE OVERALL VIEW OF THOSE INTERVIEWED, ENDED WITH 1/3 OF THEM SERIOUS JESUS, YAH'SHUA, FOLLOWERS.
SO, MY WRITINGS CONFIRM THAT, WHEN I SAY THE CHURCH IS FULL OF PROFESSING CHRISTIANS, AND A WHOLE LOT OF CARNAL, AND WORLDLY CHRISTIANS, I WOULD HAVE GIVEN YOU, WHAT I ALREADY KNEW AND FELT IN MY HEART, THESE ARE CRITICAL ISSUES, THAT NEED CHANGE IN THE TRUE CHURCH.
IT ALL BOILS DOWN TO THIS, IF YOU THINK, THAT JUST BECAUSE YOU SIT IN A PEW EVERY SUNDAY, YOU WILL IMPRESS JESUS, YAH'SHUA, AND BE SAVED FROM GODS, YAH'WEHS, WRATH, YOU COULD BE IN SPIRITUAL TROUBLE.
WHAT DOES IMPRESS JESUS, YAH'SHUA, IS NOT JUST HEARING THE THINGS HE ASKS OF US, BUT TO BE DOERS OF HIS WORDS.
JAMES 1: 22 = BUT, BE YOU DOERS OF THE WORD, AND NOT HEARERS ONLY, DECEIVING YOURSELVES.
WHEN YOU DO WHAT JESUS, YAH'SHUA, COMMANDS US TO DO, THEN YOU WILL IMPRESS HIM.
NICODEMUS, IS A GREAT EXAMPLE OF HOW MOST CHURCH PEOPLE ARE LIKE.
JOHN 3: 1-7 =
(1) THERE WAS A MAN OF THE PHARISEES, NAMED NICODEMUS, A RULER OF THE JEWS:
(2) THE SAME MAN CAME TO JESUS BY NIGHT AND SAID TO HIM, RABBI, WE KNOW THAT YOU ARE A TEACHER COME FROM YAHWEH: FOR NO MAN CAN DO THESE MIRACLES AND SIGNS, THAT YOU DO, EXCEPT YAHWEH BE WITH HIM.
(3) JESUS ANSWERED, SURELY, SURELY, I SAY TO YOU, "EXCEPT A MAN BE BORN AGAIN, HE CANNOT SEE THE KINGDOM OF YAHWEH.
(4) NICODEMUS,(CHURCH PEOPLE), SAID TO HIM, "HOW CAN A MAN BE BORN, WHEN HE IS OLD? CAN HE ENTER THE SECOND TIME, INTO HIS MOTHERS WOMB, AND BE BORN?
(5) JESUS ANSWERED, SURELY, SURELY, I SAY TO YOU, EXCEPT A MAN BE BORN OF THE WATER AND THE HOLY SPIRIT, "HE CANNOT ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF YAHWEH".
(6) THAT WHICH IS BORN OF THE FLESH, IS FLESH; AND THAT WHICH IS BORN OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, IS SPIRIT.
(7) MARVEL NOT THAT I SAID TO YOU, "YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN.
THESE WORDS FROM JESUS, YAH'SHUA, SAY ALL THAT WE, AS PROFESSING BELIEVERS, THAT WE KNOW JESUS, YAH'SHUA. WE MUST LIVE AS HE DID, AND BELIEVE, AND OBEY HIS WORDS, WHICH IN MOST PROFESSING CHRISTIANS, ISN'T THE CASE.
THE SAD PART OF THIS, IS THIS, WHEN YOU ARE A PART OF A BODY, CALLED THE CHURCH, AND YOU DO YOUR PART TO FOLLOW THE WAYS AND THE THOUGHTS OF JESUS, YAH'SHUA, AND ARE BORN AGAIN, AND YOU HAVE THE MAJORITY OF THE REST OF THE CHURCH, WHO ARE NOT BORN AGAIN, YOU ARE MIXING THE PURE, WITH THE IMPURE.
WHAT OCCURS IS, THE CHURCH IS SPLIT IN THEIR COOPERATION TOGETHER, WITH DISSENSIONS WITHIN THE CHURCH, RULED NOT BY BORN AGAIN BELIEVERS, BUT BY FAVORITES AND HIGH PROFILE MEMBERS, WHO HAVE MORE INFLUENCE IN THE ORDER OF THE CHURCH, THAN THE HOLY SPIRIT, WHICH SHOULD RULE AND GOVERN THE BODY, IN PURITY AND HOLINESS, WHICHX YAH'WEH, COMMANDS.
SO, HOW DO WE MAKE THE CHURCH DEVELOP AS MOST ALL BORN AGAIN BELIEVERS, THROUGH TRUE DEVOTION AND STUDY OF THE WORDS OF YOUR BIBLES, YIELDING YOUR LIVES TO THINGS ABOVE, AND NOT BELOW, HERE ON THE EARTH, AND THE DESIRES AND LUSTS OF THE WORLD, WHICH DRAW YOU AWAY FROM YOUR PURITY AND HOLINESS, TO YAH'WEH.
TITUS 2: 12 = TEACHING US THAT, DENYING UNGODLINESS AND WORLDLY LUSTS, WE SHOULD LIVE SOBERLY, RIGHTEOUSLY, AND GODLY, IN THIS PRESENT WORLD;
THERE ARE OTHER WAYS OF SETTING OUT OF THE CHURCH, THOSE WHO REFUSE TO YIELD THEIR FLESH, TO THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
11 TIMOTHY 3: 1-5 =
(1) THIS KNOW ALSO, IN THE LAST DAYS, PERILOUS TIMES, SHALL COME.
(2) FOR MEN SHALL BE LOVERS OF THEIR OWN SELVES, MONEY LOVERS, BOASTERS, PROUD, BLASPHEMERS, DISOBEDIENT TO PARENTS, UN-THANKFUL, UNHOLY,
(3) WITHOUT NATURAL AFFECTION, IRRECONCILABLE, FALSE ACCUSERS, INCONTINENT, FIERCE, DESPISERS OF THOSE THAT ARE GOOD,
(4) TRAITORS, RECKLESS, HIGH MINDED, LOVERS OF PLEASURE, MORE THAN LOVERS OF YAHWEH;
(5) HAVING A FORM OF GODLINESS, BUT, DENYING THE POWER,(HOLY SPIRIT), THEREOF; "FROM SUCH TURN AWAY.
ALL THESE SCRIPTURES, SHOULD ALERT THE MEMBERS OF A CHURCH, TO BE AWARE OF ITS MEMBERS, AND THESE TRAITS OF UNGODLINESS AND, WHETHER THEY ARE IN LINE WITH THE WORD OF YAH'WEH.
IN OBVIOUS CASES OF VIOLATION OF THE DOCTRINES OF CHRIST, AND THE DOGMA OF THE CHURCH, AND ITS LEADERSHIP, IT MAY BE NEEDED TO EXCOMMUNICATE A MEMBER, UNTIL THEY REPENT AND BRING THEM BACK INTO THE CHURCH, AS A GOOD BROTHER, OR SISTER.
1 CORINTHIANS 5: 11-13 =
(11) BUT NOW I HAVE WRITTEN TO YOU, NOT TO KEEP COMPANY, IF ANY MAN THAT IS CALLED A BROTHER, BE A FORNICATOR, OR COVETOUS, OR N IDOLATER, OR A RAILER, OR A DRUNKARD, OR AN EXTORTIONER; WITH SUCH A ONE, NOT TO EAT.
(12) FOR WHAT HAVE I TO DO, TO JUDGE THOSE WHO ARE WITHOUT,(THE CHURCH)? DO NOT YOU JUDGE THOSE THAT ARE WITHIN,(THE CHURCH).
(13) BUT THOSE WITHOUT,(THE CHURCH), YAHWEH JUDGES. THEREFORE, PUT AWAY,(EXCOMMUNICATE), FROM AMONG YOURSELVES, THAT WICKED PERSON.
THIS HAS HAPPENED HERE IN "THE CHURCH AT TEXAS". I HAD A FEW, WHO WERE OUT OF DOCTRINAL ISSUES, AND I KINDLY MOVED THEM OUT, AND FOR THE GOOD OF THE CHURCH, AND FOR THEM.
THESE ARE IMPORTANT THINGS, A SERIOUS CHURCH OF JESUS, YAH'SHUA, MUST ADDRESS AND, DO WHAT IS NECESSARY.
EPHESIANS 5: 26-27 =
(26) THAT JESUS MIGHT SANCTIFY AND CLEANSE THE CHURCH, WITH THE WASHING OF WATER, BY THE WORD,
(27) THAT JESUS MIGHT PRESENT THE CHURCH TO HIMSELF, A GLORIOUS CHURCH, NOT HAVING SPOT, OR WRINKLE, OR ANY SUCH THING; BUT THAT THE CHURCH SHOULD BE HOLY, WITHOUT BLEMISH.
11 THESSALONIANS 3: 6 = NOW WE COMMAND YOU, BRETHREN, IN THE NAME OF OUR LORD JESUS THE CHRIST, THAT YOU WITHDRAW YOURSELVES, FROM EVERY BROTHER THAT WALKS,(LIVES), DISORDERLY AND NOT AFTER THE TRADITION, WHICH HE RECEIVED FROM US.
IF YOU FOLLOW THE ORDERS OF THE APOSTLES AND THE COMMANDS OF JESUS, YAH'SHUA,YOU WILL DO WELL TO KEEP YOUR CHURCH IN ACCOUNTABILITY, FOR THE INHERITANCE, PROMISED TO THOSE WHO HAVE PASSED, THE TESTING OF THE MASTER JESUS, YAH'SHUA.
11 CORINTHIANS 13: 5 = EXAMINE YOURSELVES, WHETHER YOU BE IN THE "FAITH", PROVE YOUR OWNSELVES, HOW ""**THAT JESUS, CHRIST IS IN YOU**"", EXCEPT YOU BE ***REPROBATES.***
