JESUS THE CHRIST MINISTRIES

The full Counsel Newsletter - No 229

FOR IT WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER FOR THEM NOT TO HAVE KNOWN THE WAY OF RIGHTEOUSNESS THAN HAVING KNOWN IT TO TURN FROM THE HOLY COMMANDMENT DELIVERED TO THEM.
2 PETER 2:21.

THEY...TURNED...FROM THE HOLY COMMAND.

We do have many assorted translations for this singular oracle of God in the world today but amazing enough it really does still only mean the one and same age old thing. And what might that be you may be wondering?......once saved not always saved.

2 Peter 2:21 is interpreted by the very next verse, which in this case is verse twenty two and what does that say?

2 Peter 2:21 says that if a man or woman goes back to their sin and says that you can not live a holy life, a perfect life (obedience to Jesus Oracles) we say that holy ghost is limited in power and insult him at the same time we make the almighty blood of the Lamb/Jesus as a common thing or goats blood or the blood of some other animal.....that is only able to deliver you for a season and not completely......Hebrews 10:29.....(click here)

However. the lamb of God came to take away my sin and yours not take it around the corner but take it away, once and for all times.........amen?.....John 8:36.

Most church leaders and goers seem to get a kick out of telling the world that they are so much the poor old sinner (saved by grace that cannot deliver from sin) damsels in distress daily, thinking this kind of talk glorifies Jesus death burial and resurrection. This is very noticeable around the pentecostal, baptist, presbyterian, denominational camps. I'm just a sinner saved by grace that is unable to set me free from sin and teach the same......hello?.......2 Peter 2:14, Romans 6:16.

For it would have been a better thing not to have known the way of righteousness says the Lord via St Peter. The way of righteousness is Jesus.........I am The Way!

St Peter says that these sin lovers....turned....from the right way and went the wrong way, the way of unrighteousness, yes, dear reader just as one great man of God, minister of old did......Balaam, son of Beor a God ordained prophet anointed of the almighty God........2 Peter 2:15.....(click here).

The holy command says love the Lord thy God with all your heart, soul and mind and love your neighbour as you love yourself.....Matthew 22:37, 39.

But still we have Jesus placed in the second chariot and men, women and children in the first chariot not to mention self, fame, fortune and acceptance. Then of course we have those who love Jesus a little less than their self, sin and friends and love their neighbour but not as themselves. Like buying sausages for the neighbour and going home to eat fillet mignon and drink big ticket wine.....hello?

Turn and live and until we do turn we will never know life, Christ.....amen.
