THEN JESUS SAID TO
THEM...........TAKE HEED AND BEWARE OF THE LEAVEN OF THE PHARISEES AND THE
SADDUCEES..........MATTHEW 16:6. |
COME OUT OR JUMP IN?
As I read a particular article the other day called.........The Church
Under Siege....the above scripture came to mind along with the one that says..........a
little leaven/sin leavens the whole lump/person.......a little.........Romans
6:23.
Sin is infectious, if we lie down with the dog with fleas you too will get up with
fleas.Bad company corrupts and no person can pull someone out of the mud while still
remaining in the mud/sin. Did Jesus say come out or move over I'm coming in yipee!!! enjoy
your life to the max .....2 Timothy 3:4.
In the article it gave comments from two well known religious identities......Doctor Peter
Barnes who said that the Uniting Church was a spent force. And Dr Gordon Moyes who said
that the evangelicals within the UC would eventually win their battle against
homosexuality in the church therefore Dr Moyes intends to stay on with and under the name,
banner of Uniting Church.......... ............(click

I have always held a strong belief that a person called good, holy, righteous, true,
loving, honest and christian not to mention disciple of Christ could never sit in a church
that accepts that which the head of the (true) church, Jesus the Christ says is abominable
and damnable.............Proverbs 24:21, Psalm 1:1, 2.
Then again most church goers really wouldn't know what their leader or church truly did
believe or endorse because for most of the time its all just bang, boom, clang and fizz
with a preamble on money, a sermon on prosperity and absolute predestination with a
newsletter to take home that could only resemble a pamphlet from a Gold Coast theme
park...........saying something like......We are a church that is business savvy.
Many a handicapped minister (spiritually handicapped) male and female have
chosen to stay under a religious (franchise) organisation's name and promote them when all
along they say that they are not in one accord with these strays, how is
this?........... .................(click here).
We also have those who say they have come out of deceptive churches, churches that have
strayed from the truth and continue to fossick around for so called left over good bits of
these twice dead set ups in order to appease subscribers and resuscitate that which God
has no part with, forever looking back like Mrs Lot from Sodom and Gomorrah. It will
cost you everything to walk with messiah.............(click

All ministers will become handicapped, limited, restricted and dry as chips as long as
they continue to place tradition, organisational achievements and pride in denominations
above pleasing the head of the true church, Jesus. Not forgetting one of the greatest
shames and shams of all, Ministries, Churches and even Missionary Groups with .........Pty
Ltd, Inc and ABN numbers tacked onto their most holy, reverend, charitable and loving
Organisations...............Matthew 21:13.
How can we say we are clean when we are in a pig pen and how can we say we are holy
when we eat vomit. The prophet Samuel had no more to do with King Saul once Yahweh's hand
was withdrawn from him. Their my brother, sister and mother who hear Jesus sayings and do
them...............1 Samuel 15:35, Luke 8:21, 2 Peter 2:21, 22.....
amen.
