JESUS THE CHRIST MINISTRIES

The full Counsel Newsletter - No 163

AND WHEN YOU PRAY DO NOT USE VAIN REPETITIONS AS THE HEATHENS DO FOR THEY THINK THAT THEY WILL BE HEARD FOR THEIR MANY WORDS.............................
MATTHEW 6:7

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

With reference to Newsletter / 160 / Pentecostal Pirates, I want to add a postscript to that letter saying.....consider that newsletter void if you are one that does not believe ........Jeremiah 23:30. I was not just refering to pentecostals as playing the pirate but also evangelicals, roman catholics, baptists, uniting church, salvos........I'm talking across the board even those without a brand name including the 10,000 instructors.........Philippians 3:1, Jeremiah 36:32.

Today I want to nail another useless doctrine / teaching, creeping around the houses   of merchandise and overflowing into christendom. It is called the....Polly Want A Cracker Teaching or quote the scripture and it will be regardless of sin.

The P.W.A.C.T.......tells people to quote scripture, confess scripture, sing scripture and believe scripture with your head but never expect the God of all scripture to deliver you from sin, make sure you have a little sin left in your life least people hate you, reject you, despise you, exclude you, laugh at you, excommunicate you and say you are a devil and a bastard.........2 Timothy 3:12, 13.

The P.W.A.C.T........tells people to quote the scripture from the rising of the sun to the going down of the same but forgets to tell the people that even the devil quoted scripture to Jesus but he was no disciple of the Christ, nor holy.

This parrot fashion teaching is worth nothing but a dry cracker and a pat on the head certainly not worth a ........crown of life................... ..........Revelation 3:11.

Confessing is nothing without application, it is no better than the laborious repetitions of the roman catholic system, which makes for a temporary appeasing of one's conscience at least until the devil knocks again.......no real freedom can ever be expected. It is nothing but vanity to repeat our sin / folly and only ever makes us to be fools in the sight of satan and the world at large................Proverbs 26:11.

Faith does come by hearing the word but repetitious quoting of scripture can never do the work that obedience to the word does. Those who have ceased fron their sin suffer in the flesh. People do not want to suffer in the flesh which is why they are still in sin on the way to hell. Most therefore embrace the P.W.A.C.T........ there is no suffering on that road and besides.........it works..........for the moment anyway but there is no promise of tomorrow..........John 8:30-36, 1 Peter 4:1.

I don't read where Jesus quoted the scriptures repetitiously in Gesthsemane, where Paul and Silas quoted the Torah in prison or Stephan confessing that he was a kings kid born rich while being stoned to death.........do you?

You might be one of the many who are satisfied with a cracker but I want a crown of life, therefore I choose today to suffer for His sake. Where the woman goes the man will follow if he is not a man of God / Yahweh. What do you want?


Amen.
