"Bro. Ben English" <filipino.ministries@cox.net> spake thusly and
wrote:
I wish not to be compared with those who cause division.
Don't worry about that happening. The lukewarm
and spiritually unchaste will never be compared to Him.
Luke 12:51 Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth?
I tell you, Nay; but rather division:
Ecclesiastes 7:5 [It is] better to hear the rebuke of the wise,
than for a man to hear the song of fools.
I Timothy 5:20 Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also
may fear.
II Timothy 4:2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of
season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and
doctrine.
Titus 1:13 This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply,
that they may be sound in the faith;
Titus 2:15 These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all
authority. Let no man despise thee.
Revelation 3:19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be
zealous therefore, and repent.
Luke 13:23 Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be
saved? And he said unto them,
Luke 13:24 Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I
say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.
Luke 13:25 When once the master of the house is risen up, and
hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to
knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall
answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are:
Luke 13:26 Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in
thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.
Luke 13:27 But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye
are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.
Paul sets an example of spiritual chastity and makes some
fascinating points. He plainly states that Satan is going to
have his ministers pretending to be Christian ministers. God
wants their to be division between the true Church and the
Satanic false church.
II Corinthians 11:12 But what I do, that I will do, that I may
cut off occasion from them which desire occasion; that wherein
they glory, they may be found even as we.
II Corinthians 11:13 For such [are] false apostles, deceitful
workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
II Corinthians 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is
transformed into an angel of light.
II Corinthians 11:15 Therefore [it is] no great thing if his
ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness;
whose end shall be according to their works.
The Bible does not teach that a real Christian should be tolerant
towards deceivers.
Galatians 1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any
other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you,
let him be accursed.
Jesus was quite plain about that sort of thing and how He felt
about it. So many false christians like to talk of John 3:16 as
they promote their sinful false religion, but they don't like to
bring up Revelation 3:16.
Revelation 3:16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither
cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
Notice that part how the lukewarm make Jesus puke? (look it
up in the Greek)
Jesus wants us to be divided from the cults that teach that
there is nothing you need to obey. He has other plans for them.
II Thessalonians 1:7 And to you who are troubled rest with us,
when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty
angels,
II Thessalonians 1:8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them
that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus
Christ:
II Thessalonians 1:9 Who shall be punished with everlasting
destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of
his power;
God wants division
II Corinthians 11:2 For I am jealous over you with godly
jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may
present [you as] a chaste virgin to Christ.
II Corinthians 11:3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent
beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be
corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
Notice that Paul fears for their LOSS OF CHASTITY and CORRUPTION
II Corinthians 11:4 For if he that cometh preacheth another
Jesus, whom we have not preached, or [if] ye receive another
spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye
have not accepted, ye might well bear with [him].
Just "bearing with" a trinitarian is defined as the manifestation
of whoredom and corruption (lack of chastity is "unchaste" or
"whorish". One who lacks "fidelity" is an "infidel")
II John 1:9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the
doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine
of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
II John 1:10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this
doctrine, receive him not into [your] house, neither bid him God
speed:
II John 1:11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his
evil deeds.
So it is a sin to even bid "God speed" to a trinitarian or other
false christian that is promoting their doctrines, and that does
not mean merely the words "God speed" but it means to offer any
Christian greeting or salutation.
5463 chairo {khah’-ee-ro}
a primary verb; TDNT - 9:359,1298; v
AV - rejoice 42, be glad 14, joy 5, hail 5, greeting 3, God speed
2, all hail 1, joyfully 1, farewell 1; 74
1) to rejoice, be glad
2) to rejoice exceedingly
3) to be well, thrive
4) in salutations, hail!
5) at the beginning of letters: to give one greeting, salute
Yes, that means that it is a SIN to offer greetings or
salutations to anyone who is bringing false doctrine.
Let us look back and see what would be the symptoms of the HIGH
RISK group for whoredom and infidelity.
2 Cor 10:12 For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or
compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they
measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves
among themselves, are not wise.
They COMMEND themselves this "high risk" group. They MEASURE
THEMSELVES BY THEMSELVES etc .
2 Cor 10:17 But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
2 Cor 10:18 For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but
whom the Lord commendeth.
