JESUS THE CHRIST MINISTRIES

The full Counsel Newsletter - No 396

EVEN SO YOU ALSO OUTWARDLY APPEAR RIGHTEOUS TO MEN AND WOMEN BUT INSIDE YOU ARE FULL OF HYPOCRISY AND LAWLESSNESS......MATTHEW 23:28.

POLEMICS AND THE FAITH
(the art of dispute & argument)
Matthew 23:1-39
A well worn quote bleeding from money loving pulpits today is "don't argue with a pharisee" and not to my surprise it was invented by pharisees themselves to take the heat off their 'treasure-trove of false teaching' ....Matthew 23:31-34.

"Don't argue with a pharisee"....but the good lord Jesus did and he also said to proclaim loudly that "we are unprofitable servants" and he also said that if you love him you will despise money and if you love money you will despise him but never the twain shall meet.....Matthew 6:24....selah....click.

However these sayings are banned in the Christendom Churches of 2007 for they are told repeatedly it's negative and that they are neither unprofitable or servants for that matter, they are 'prosperous king's kids' and are embarking on a mission to take over 'this' earth but an apostle named Peter-the pebble, said and wrote that this present earth shall be destroyed completely by a raging fire sent of Yahweh/Jesus, surely something to rethink in the next week........2 Peter 3: 10-13.

Jesus the Christ spent a good portion of his time on earth arguing and contending, disputing with pharisees and also rebuking his own followers where needs be. Not to mention one of his cream apostles St. Paul who disputed/argued with the Hellenists, (the jews loved the greek language to the point where they even adapted some of their ways, mixed-bags you could say) on a daily basis. To dispute mainstream-religious doctrine is just not kosher.

From what I read in my bible/NKJ, Messiah never lost an argument with any hypocrite of his time even when he was silent, Jesus is no doubt the undisputed champ of all apologetics and polemics, a heavenly scholar indeed.....Ecclesiastes 12:10, 11.

"Don't argue with a pharisee" is a piece of advice given by pharisees to hopefully combat the ever increasing dark cloud over their lying tongue. These defeated religious-mobsters have nowhere else to run. They are basically 'Sauls' at heart who fantasise about being a 'David'. These Rev/Doctor/Father's and Mother's despise the simple truth of the Christ's Doctrine and forever prove it by their unbelief which is manifested in their hunger for bums on seats (head counts).....click.

The Saul Lifestyle can be visibly summed up in their standing ovations toward ecumenism, price tags and bar codes on their loving, helpful, kind advice (in either cd, dvd, book and brochure format), not to mention the abnormal sized bodyguards (armour) that surrounds these 'faith' peoples who are bound by spirits of cowardice and self preservation....ref/1 Samuel 14:1, 2.......click.

There is only one man or woman who would use such a religious deterrent as "Don't argue with a Pharisee" and that one is a defeated  Pharisee that is barely able to stand another blow of truth. I have never heard Jesus ever say that once in his entire ministry. Another deterrent for the bonafide pharisee is this one...."a mature christian has nothing to prove"...yet again, Jesus says they do........click

Contending/Fighting ardently for Messiah's Doctrine. JTCM doesn't contend for race, land, money, property, acceptability in society, abortion - anti or otherwise, politics or everyday life. JTCM Contends for Jesus the Christ's Doctrine, period (unlike the Emerging Church/One-Worldly Church)........2 Timothy 2:4.

BLOWS THAT HURT CLEANSE AWAY EVIL, AS DO STRIPES THE INNER DEPTHS OF A MAN AND A WOMAN'S HEART.........PROVERBS 20:30.
Amen
