HOUSTON, WE HAVE A PROBLEM AND THEY ARE NOT CHRISTIANS

Rev 2:9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.

Rev 3:9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.

Do we not know them, even though Jesus has pointed them out?

Most people CERTAINLY DON'T KNOW THEM, including, -- I suspect --, the author of this Topic. In fact, it's usually the one's who make such assertions that are among the "them".

So the question is: Who are the "them"? Are they the ones who have murdered the prophets? Are they the ones whose religion have superseded the love for mankind such that they look down their nose at everyone else (except those in their little cult)? Are they the ones who shear the sheep for their own benefit?


It seems that most are RELIGIOUS, but very few are CHRISTIAN.

Jesus said in John 13:34-35." A new commandment I give you.' Love one another, 'by this ALL men will know that you are My disciples"

Well how is that being carried out?
Parable of the good samarata, who help a mortal enemy. Is that being enacted.

Yep. GOD is LOVE. There's no JUDGEMENT, no ACCOUNTABILITY, and no RESPONSIBILITY. JUST LOVE! -- NOT!

Mat_23:13 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.
Mat_23:14 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.
Mat_23:15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.
Mat_23:16 Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor!
Mat_23:23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
Mat_23:25 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.
Mat_23:27 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.
Mat_23:29 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,

John 10:12 But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.​

You would seek to impugn the Jews, but are blind to the TRUTH. It's those who are "religious" who are the offense to GOD. Perhaps if one had a mirror, they could see their own reflection.

Joh 8:41 Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.

Joh 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

Joh 8:47 He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.
Joh 8:48 Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?
Joh 8:49 Jesus answered, I have not a devil;

As I've said, -- it's the "religious" that displease GOD.

Reading the thread title I thought the subject under scrutiny might be Brian & Bobbie Houston of Hillsong.com.

There are numerous sites dedicated to the problem of the Houstons and Hillsong. Here's one of them: How Hillsong & Brian Houston Are Destroying Christianity

I think that we're in spiritual warfare, and it's not a single individual(s) but rather a single source.

How do you get that from Jesus saying,' If you Love me, you will obey me.'
Seeing that Jesus frequently spoke about judgement it doesn't follow.
