BUT I HAVE A FEW THINGS AGAINST YOU
BECAUSE YOU HAVE THERE THOSE WHO HOLD THE DOCTRINE OF BALAAM, WHO TAUGHT BALAK TO PUT A
STUMBLING BLOCK BEFORE THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL
TO EAT THINGS SACRIFICED TO IDOLS AND
TO COMMIT SEXUAL IMMORALITY
THUS YOU ALSO HAVE
THOSE WHO HOLD THE DOCTRINE OF
THE NICOLAITANS, WHICH THING I HATE. REPENT OR ELSE I WILL COME TO YOU QUICKLY AND WILL
FIGHT AGAINST THEM, WITH THE SWORD OF MY MOUTH
REVELATION 2:14-16.
COMPROMISE ...CONCESSIONS AND
DOCTRINE
These are the words of Jesus Christ which were given to the angel or leader of
the church at Pergamos. There were certain people in the congregation of this church that
held fast to false doctrine. The doctrines of Balaam and the nicolaitans. Jesus
is very particular about what doctrines/teachings are fed to His Flock.
Any doctrine that is without the promotion of holiness, humility, hell or heaven
is by no means the doctrine of Christ.
WHOEVER TRANSGRESSES AND DOES NOT ABIDE IN THE DOCTRINE OF CHRIST, DOES NOT HAVE
GOD .. HE WHO ABIDES IN THE DOCTRINE OF CHRIST, HAS BOTH .. THE FATHER AND THE SON .. IF
ANYONE COMES TO YOU AND DOES NOT BRING THIS DOCTRINE .. DO NOT RECEIVE HIM INTO YOUR HOUSE
NOR GREET HIM .. FOR HE WHO GREETS HIM, SHARES IN HIS EVIL DEEDS
..2 JOHN
9-11.
We often hear of churches in Australia promoting unity .. at any cost. The word
that came through John the beloved, tells the world plainly that those who have the
doctrine of Christ have no part with those who believe otherwise or those who hold fast to
other teachings that are not set out in the Holy Scriptures
if indeed you have
heard Him and have been taught by Him, as the truth is in Jesus
Ephesians 4:21.
The sin that was charged upon this church was
compromise!
they
tolerated sin within the ranks and this made God angry. How do I know He was angry?
because He said that He would come and fight against them/those who were
responsible and He would do this with His word
verse 16.
THERE IS A FIGHT GOING ON AMONG CHURCHES .. NOW YOU KNOW WHY.
There is nothing that stirs the Lord Jesus more than the lukewarm and false doctrine.
People, churches, professing Christ followers are proclaiming in the country of Australia
that God will command a blessing where there is unity .. Amen! Amen! Amen!
But!.. the blessing will not be given to a bunch of religious people with all
kinds of beliefs, doctrines and imaginations of their own hearts. And if He did, we might
as well throw the instruction book the holy bible away, embrace one another regardless to
doctrine and sing aloud
we are the world!
If you are attending a church or ministry or religious organization that has a tolerance
club, who make concessions for sin, compromise the doctrine of Christ, fellowship with
darkness and remain silent to save face in society. My advice to you is repent, turn back
to God and do works befitting your repentance and the God of peace shall keep you and He
shall lead you to a safe haven
. Amos 3:3.
BLESSED IS HE WHO READS AND THOSE WHO HEAR, THE WORDS OF THIS PROPHECY AND KEEP
THOSE THINGS, WHICH ARE WRITTEN IN IT .. FOR THE TIME IS NEAR
REVELATION 1:3.
Amen.
