Thou Shalt Not.

Written by Rev.Anthony Smith


Have you ever readrepparttar Ten Commandments and paused atrepparttar 135355 words, “Thou Shalt Not?”I have read many an artical condemning Ministers for speaking out against, sin, unrighteousness, life styles contrary torepparttar 135356 Commandments of God and Christ, and believe it or not, these condemnations are coming not fromrepparttar 135357 unsaved butrepparttar 135358 Christian. So I thought aboutrepparttar 135359 scriptures andrepparttar 135360 words “Thou Shalt Not?” Words have become a weapon for many who don't understandrepparttar 135361 ”Thou Shalt Not of scripture, such as, “Love one another, Judge not that ye shall not be judged, God loves everyone, Jesus loves all man so letrepparttar 135362 LIFESTYLES of those people be allright.I don't understand why Preachers use specific passages inrepparttar 135363 Bible to make their point,Preachers are either Far Right or Far Left,We cant single out organizations because of what they believe and teach, people of alternate lifestyles can be Christians too.” Words,Words,Words. Many are usingrepparttar 135364 Word of God to justifyrepparttar 135365 unrighteousness of others, so lets see some words from God. Mark 7:13 Makingrepparttar 135366 word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye. Matthew 15:3 But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgressrepparttar 135367 commandment of God by your tradition? Matthew 22:35 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,......... Rom 2:19 And art confident that thou thyself art a guide ofrepparttar 135368 blind, a light of them which are in darkness, Rom 2:20 An instructor ofrepparttar 135369 foolish, a teacher of babes, which hastrepparttar 135370 form of knowledge and ofrepparttar 135371 truth inrepparttar 135372 law. Rom 2:21 Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal? Rom 2:22 Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege? Rom 2:23 Thou that makest thy boast ofrepparttar 135373 law, through breakingrepparttar 135374 law dishonourest thou God? Rom 2:24 Forrepparttar 135375 name of God is blasphemed amongrepparttar 135376 Gentiles through you, as it is written. Rom 2:25 For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keeprepparttar 135377 law: but if thou be a breaker ofrepparttar 135378 law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision. Rom 2:26 Therefore ifrepparttar 135379 uncircumcision keeprepparttar 135380 righteousness ofrepparttar 135381 law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision? Rom 2:27 And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfilrepparttar 135382 law, judge thee, who byrepparttar 135383 letter and circumcision dost transgressrepparttar 135384 law? Rom 2:28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward inrepparttar 135385 flesh: Rom 2:29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that ofrepparttar 135386 heart, inrepparttar 135387 spirit, and not inrepparttar 135388 letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God. Mat 22:38 This isrepparttar 135389 first and great commandment. “Loverepparttar 135390 Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.” Mat 22:39 Andrepparttar 135391 second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Mat 5:27 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, “Thou shalt not.....”: Mat 19:18 ....... Jesus said, Thou shalt do no....., Thou shalt not......, Thou shalt not......, Thou shalt not......, Lets look a little closer at some of Gods Words. 1. Makingrepparttar 135392 word of God of none effect through your tradition. Have many Christians, as didrepparttar 135393 Pharisies, become wrapped up in Traditions. Not looking into scripture any further thatrepparttar 135394 Crucification and Resurrection of Christ. Have they stopped at Salvation and Baptism and neglectedrepparttar 135395 Weightier matters of The Gospel of Christ. The Gospel of Jesus Christ does not stop at John. The Gospel of Jesus starts at Genesis and ends with Revelations. 2.which ye have delivered. Many Christians are makingrepparttar 135396 Mistake of allowing others, whom are lost, to live alternate lifestyles and alternate religions, without speaking out againstrepparttar 135397 unrighteousness and sinfulness of their choices, not trying to warn them ofrepparttar 135398 consequences of their actions. Mankind hasrepparttar 135399 right to make His own choice, weather to believe or not to believe in Gods word, but Jesus commanded us to warn them, not to keep silent or fight for them to remain lost. Thats right, I said, Fight for them to remain Lost.When Christians dictate torepparttar 135400 Ministers of God, what to preach and what not to Preach, we become Transgressers ofrepparttar 135401 Law of God. 3.transgressrepparttar 135402 commandment of God What arerepparttar 135403 Commandments of God, are they guidelines for Christians to live by or are they points that can be changed or debated among ourselves? We Cannot follow afterrepparttar 135404 Traditions of Man, we are only subject torepparttar 135405 Laws of Man that are Lawful to us, that do not deter us from worshiping God. Lets read a little from Isaiah. Isaiah 1:16-21 Wash you, make you clean; put awayrepparttar 135406 evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieverepparttar 135407 oppressed, judgerepparttar 135408 fatherless, plead forrepparttar 135409 widow.

Death of an American,The Death of Deciency

Death of an American,The Death of Deciency

John 16:2-3:16

The Death of an American, The Death of Decency. The following is a quote fromrepparttar Arab network. “We were winning international sympathy because of what happened at Abu Ghraib, but they come and waist it all.” Five of Kuwait’s seven dailies publishedrepparttar 135354 report with photographs on their front pages. The other two published brief reports. The Al-Siyassah daily ran two photos, including one with a masked militant holding uprepparttar 135355 severed head. Gal 4:8 Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods. John 16:2 They shall put you out ofrepparttar 135356 synagogues: yea,repparttar 135357 time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service. Comment by Matthew Henry; Our Lord Jesus, by giving his disciples notice of trouble, designed thatrepparttar 135358 terror might not be a surprise to them. It is possible for those who are real enemies to God’s service, to pretend zeal for it. This does not lessenrepparttar 135359 sin ofrepparttar 135360 persecutors; villainies will never be changed by puttingrepparttar 135361 name of God to them. As Jesus in his sufferings, so his followers in theirs should look torepparttar 135362 fulfilling of Scripture. He did not tell them sooner, because he was with them to teach, guide, and comfort them; they needed not then this promise ofrepparttar 135363 Holy Spirit’s presence. It will silence us to ask, whence troubles come? It will satisfy us to ask, whither go they? Jesus told us that we would come into parlous times, He knew that dangerous times would beset us and that many would be martyred for His name sake. An American Jew was murdered in Iraq, many more will follow. This isrepparttar 135364 spirit of antichrist runningrepparttar 135365 Moslem world. These things will come to pass, take place and will become more numerous as time passes. Asrepparttar 135366 time of Jesus second appearance draws nearer, many more people will be beheaded. People, until this incident, couldn’t believe that others would actually behead another human being, now they know different. Gal 4:8 Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods. In Galatians, The scripture tell us that people will and are doing things inrepparttar 135367 name of God, that don’t even know Him. Hammas, Al-Quida andrepparttar 135368 other terrorist organizations, know not God but are serving their father, which is Satan. These people have been deceived so tremendously, that they think they serverepparttar 135369 living God. Should there be anger inrepparttar 135370 Christian world today over these types of incidents, lets look atrepparttar 135371 scripture and here whatrepparttar 135372 Heavenly Father has to tell us, lets let Him answer that question. Rev 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I sawrepparttar 135373 souls of them that were beheaded forrepparttar 135374 witness of Jesus, and forrepparttar 135375 word of God, and which had not worshippedrepparttar 135376 beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
