many ask for a jesus christ that serves their own hearts desires .
Believing it to be JESUS THE CHRIST when in fact
its doctrines are contrary to THE JESUS CHRIST and HIS DOCTRINE .
Let that be a lesson for all . ITS examination TIME .
IS the JESUS CHRIST we know , love and embrace
THE SAME JESUS CHRIST made mention of in the bible ,
OR be it another jesus . For that answer i suggest SOME BIBLE READING and FAST TOO .
cause many many and many are following another jesus and quite frankly IT WONT save them .
Many, like those saying things like:
THE GOD I KNOW in scripture would be speaking through men TO REBUKE AND CORRECT THIS MADNESS .
If you look at what is actually written above you read, "THE GOD I KNOW in scripture"
We don't know a God that is "in scripture", but in us - if indeed we do know Him!! We are the temple of God, right! He actually does talk to us, so that His sheep hear His voice, right? And so we hear from the God we know, is Jesus Christ the Word of God and is God, and we hear Him in us.!! The Word of God we preach is near us, and is found in our mouth and in our heart!! So not in the scripture, but in us like the scriptures explain!!
So who are those "many ask for a jesus christ that serves their own hearts desires ."???, as amigo de christo mention?
They are those who lean on their own understanding of the Scriptures instead of gong and actually seeking Jesus Christ and listening to Him via His Holy Spirit!!!
So 'amigo de christo' is correct to write: "Believing it to be JESUS THE CHRIST when in fact
its doctrines are contrary to THE JESUS CHRIST and HIS DOCTRINE ." - but he missing who it is that is doing that!!!
Knowing Jesus Christ is knowing a person - the Son of God!! And we know Him because He sends His Holy Spirit who brings God's words, which the Son of God has, to our spirit!!!
If you are indeed His sheep who hear His voice this is obvious to you!! You wake up in the morning and usually hear that small voice of His!! And it is apparent and quickly that He is not you!! He does not think like you, and that is apparent and quickly!! But those leaning on their own understanding of the Scriptures don't know this, because they don't know HIM!!!!!
They think they know the Scriptures, but don't believe them, otherwise they would seek Jesus Christ and find Him!!! Because that is what the Scriptures explain!! Indeed the foremost command from God in the Scriptures is "Hear, O Israel", but they don't keep it because they simply don't actually believe in Jesus Christ!!
As has been explained already on this thread, and as shown in the Scriptures - they search the Scriptures thinking that in them they have eternal life instead of going to Jesus Christ so that they might live!!
Jn 5:39,40 You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; it is these that testify about Me; and you are unwilling to come to Me so that you may have life.
People doing the above will write things like "THE GOD I KNOW in scripture would be speaking through men..."
So Jesus followed the above with:
Jn 5:41 “I do not receive glory from men;
The reproof from God comes from God!!! So we need to actually seek Him and listen to Him!!!
Did they not read:
Is 1:10 Hear the word of the LORD, You rulers of Sodom;
Give ear to the instruction of our God, You people of Gomorrah.
Yet they think the above means read the word of the LORD, because they are unwilling to come to Him, but search the Scriptures thinking that in them they have eternal life! So the Jesus Christ they know is "in scripture" - just like amigo de christo wrote! So to find a friend in Jesus would mean to read the Scriptures, as opposed to actually talking back and forth with Jesus Christ via His Holy Spirit through your spirit!
They make an idol out of the Bible!!
So if someone speaks in tongues, even themselves, they don't simply go to Jesus Christ by faith and see what He has to say about it, testing the Spirit according to how the Scriptures actually tells us to test the spirits, but instead they lean on their own understand and their own knowledge of the Scriptures, because they don't know how to go to Him by faith and listen to Him!!
So they don't have the gift of interpretation, even though asking for the interpretation for something being said in tongues would be a obvious and natural thing to do for those who actually converse with our Lord Jesus Christ daily. Thus we read: "THE JESUS CHRIST and HIS DOCTRINE".
They can't see that Jesus Christ is a person!!! They can only see and know Him as part of "DOCTRINE", because they don't know Him personally!!
If you go back and read what I have written and what amigo de christo has written, you will find that I have used many many more scriptures to support what I have written than He, because indeed the Scriptures are good for reproof. Also you will find that I have put down what I have actually hear from the Lord as a testimony, and 'amigo do christo' did not show what he felt was wrong with any of them. He instead used some others as being wrong, according to Him.
So He doubles down on "i suggest SOME BIBLE READING and FAST TOO" - but the "suggestion" that is need is that he start seeking Jesus Christ and fast too, because you just never know when your time is up here and you will have to give an actual account.
Did you not read that many on that day will try and tell the Lord that they did things in His name only to be told that He never knew them??
I remember the day I was talking back and forth with our Lord and He told me that He was always going to call me His friend. And He has been true to that, even telling the angels in heaven that fact. You know who has a hard time believing it - it's me. I keep having trouble believing that He calls me His friend, even though I have heard it soooo many times now. What actually happens when you get to know Him, is that you become all the more aware of all the little things you do wrong. And you also become extremely aware of how perfect and incredible He is - but not really because you also come to know that He is still greater than that. Really knowing Him is like:
Rom 7:24 Wretched man that I am! Who will set me free from the body of this death?
or
Is 6:5 Then I said, “Woe is me, for I am ruined!
Because I am a man of unclean lips, And I live among a people of unclean lips;
For my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts.”
So when you come across someone who says they are His friend, put they think it is about ""THE JESUS CHRIST and HIS DOCTRINE", you instantly know they don't really know Him. If they actually know Him, they would know that we don't live up to some Law or Doctrine, but still we can know Him and He will then call us His friend.
If you indeed know Him, and someone cuts you off on the road you will still get upset but you will also hear the small calm voice of His instantly telling you, "Karl, let Me handle it". And as a result of these type of things happening daily, you will make it about Jesus getting people to actually seek Him and listen to Him!!! He will get you reading your Bible so that you know it enough to reprove them so they might seek Him. He will have you preaching Him as the Word of God and the King over the kingdom of God - and have you preaching the Word to mean Him, and the Kingdom of God to be the heavenly host who serve Him. I don't need to tell people to read their Bible, because I know He will tell them to read their Bible if they can read and have a Bible.
I don't make it about "DOCTRINE", because He doesn't make it about "DOCTRINE", men do!
He will make it about seeking Him and Listening to Him, because that is how we come to love Him!! If you love Him you will listen to Him, and if you have not been listening to Him it is because you don't love Him and thus have already failed to fulfill the first commandment in the Law!
