CONCLUDING REMARKS TO "Jane Doe"

...Continued:

YOU SAID: “AND SINCE JESUS IS THE ONLY ONE THAT LIVED THAT WAS FAULTLESS, WE’RE JUST GOING TO HAVE TO WAIT A WHILE FOR A PERFECT WORLD.”

-Jesus was the only one who lived that was FLAW-less. But He isn’t the only one who is FAULT-less. There is a difference. And if you’re waiting for a perfect world, then you’re waiting in vain. The world is under the influence of the wicked one (Satan, the god of this world). One day God is going to burn the world with fire, and cast the wicked into the lake of fire. The only thing that will remain is those who are perfect as the Heavenly Father is perfect: “I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.” (Genesis 17:1) “Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.” (Genesis 6:9) “But the high places were not removed: nevertheless Asa's heart was perfect with the LORD all his days.” (1 King 15:14) “There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil.” (Job 1:1) “But let patience have [her] perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.” (James 1:4)

YOU SAID: “1. WHO DID IT? WHO MADE YOU SO ANGRY THAT LEFT, BUT STILL COME FROM TIME TO TIME AND CHECK THE SITE, ETC? SEEMS TO ME THAT SOMEONE WHO HAD SO MUCH DISDAIN FOR THE TEMPLE WOULD STAY COMPLETELY AWAY FROM IT.”

I didn’t leave TOP out of anger. God led me out of TOP because TOP is falling away from Jesus/the Truth. I returned to the TOP website to contend for the faith for the same reason that Paul returned to the Jewish synagogues…to preach the Gospel, exhort, rebuke, and correct with all long-suffering. I do not believe that everyone at TOP is born again, but I do believe that a few of them are, and it is my hope that even a few of them will repent and believe the Gospel, and be saved out of sin, and from the wrath of God’s judgment. The love of God compels me….but if you don’t know God, then you will not recognize His love pleading with you, throug His servants.

YOU SAID: “2. WHAT DO YOU THINK WILL HAPPEN FROM THIS?”

Only time will tell.

YOU SAID: “THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT HERE THAT ARE LIKE MINDED, BUT THERE ARE ALSO PEOPLE WHO ARE “DESCENDENTS OF PETER” WHO WILL HURT YOU FOR THEIR BISHOP’S SAKE. NOT A THREAT BY ANY MEANS, JUST SAYING THAT SINCE YOU WERE A MEMBER, YOU KNOW HOW PEOPLE FEEL ABOUT THEIR BISHOP.”

Blind followers who are willing to defend false prophets and murder God’s servants are nothing new. Historically speaking, most of the prophets and apostles were persecuted and murdered by wicked religious Israelites who defended their false religious systems. Jesus said,
“And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.” (Matthew 10:28)
“I am shocked that you are turning away so soon from God, who called you to himself through the loving mercy of Christ. You are following a different way that pretends to be the Gospel but is not the Gospel at all. You are being fooled by those who deliberately twist the truth concerning Christ. Let God’s curse fall on anyone, including us or even an angel from heaven, who preaches a different kind of Gospel than the one we preached to you. I say again what we have said before: If anyone preaches any other Gospel than the one you welcomed, let that person be cursed. Obviously, I’m not trying to win the approval of people, but of God. If pleasing people were my goal, I would not be Christ’s servant.” (Galatians 1:6-10)
