I advice you read the bible, especially new testament. You will find the way to God's heart therein. Yes, David was a man after God's heart but Jesus gave us summary of it all - LOVE.

@ tpia,
Kodewrita has said it all. Quote me wrong by the bible verse I explained if not as explained. There are no two ways of speaking the truth. If twisting the bible out of context is not new, why have you decided to live with it and be quiet, allowing heresy to keep spreading. There's nothing seductive or devilish in what I said and besides, if u agree twisting bible verses is not new, why are you attacking the bible truth? My advice to you is,stand for the truth even when your religious leader or pastor is wrong or does evil.

what you are describing are the characteristics of cults.

your methods are also similar to theirs.[/quote]ARE YOU SURE YOU READ YOUR BIBLE? OR ARE YOU ONE OF THEM BEING EXPOSED AND HIT BY THE TRUTH I SHARE? SIMPLY PROVE ME WRONG IF AM USING CULT OR WHATEVER IT SOUNDS TO YOU. GOD DID NOT CREATED MAN TO HAVE DOMINION OVER MAN BUT MAN CAN BE SUBJECT TO ONE ANOTHER. MINISTERIAL FUNCTION IS A GIFT AND IT IS MEANT TO DO SPECIFIC THINGS.

It was he (Christ) who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up. Ephesians 4:11-12

Christianity Etc7 Signs Of The Abusive Jezebel Church Leaders by Goshen360(op): 6:18am On Feb 11, 2012
This was a common expected problem to deal with for Jesus. He warned his disciples right after the mother of James and John asked for a place of honor for her sons in the Kingdom. Jesus said, “You know the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave – just like the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve and to give his life a ransom for many.”

Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned:and avoid them. For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple Rom 16:17-18


Below are the signs of abusive Jezebel or harlot church leaders in these last days:

1./ Idolatry - Creating excessive and sometimes blind, admiration and devotion to a person or group.

2./ There is a well developed, and often unstated system of rules and codes for behavior. Teaching God will approve of the members who follow the leader and are loyal to him is of utmost importance. God is not acting out of grace or mercy. God is a strict judge of justice who is working directly with and through the leaders who alone knows what God really wants. The mind controller leaders become their parent, and his followers are treated like children. They do not need to know everything, but just what the leaders think they need to know.

3./ Almost total dependence on a leader, leaders, and the group, combined with cutting off most of the outside world; especially close friends and relatives.

4./ Systematically using subtle techniques for changing the way people think, what they think, and keep existing member’s thoughts and hearts loyal to the church leader and his cause. The goal is to have the mind controller as the parent, and the adult subjects functioning as his children.

5./ Teachings that the group or church leader has all the answers for them in life; it has everything good in life and there is nothing else.

6./ Creating an environment of fear should any member wants or intend to leave. Any deserters are punished by shunning, are vilified and marginalized by ridicule before and/or after they leave. This creates a profoundly deep subconscious fear in the existing members to never leave, so this won’t happen to them. Anything outside of the group is inferior and of Satan. It is evil. There is no rule or doctrine more pure, or better, than the group’s. Outside is failure and disaster.

7./ There is a lust for power that burns deep inside a lot of such leaders. Most people suppress it, or are never in a position to use it. Some people are just not smart enough to figure out how to control others. So-called Christian leaders are not much different. They also still have natures that lusts for power and control. Satan tried to tempt Jesus with this with his offer to make Him king over the entire earth. Jesus did not fall to Satan's temptation even though He is the creator of the earth. It is a temptation common to all humans.

Godly leaders need to lead by example, serving others. Peter was inspired by the Holy Spirit to write: “Do not lord it over those entrusted to you but rather be examples.”

John strongly rebuked Diotrephes for his wicked words and lengthy malicious speech and for casting others out of the church for unbiblical reasons.

The Bible warns against Satan disguising himself as an angel of light, and his servants as ministers of righteousness. An abusive control is deceptive and the doctrines of demons.

AGAIN, MY POST IS FROM PERSONAL CONVICTION FROM THE WORD OF GOD.

For there are indeed many unruly men, empty talkers and mind-deluders; who overturn whole houses, teaching things which they ought not." Titus 1:10.

GOD BLESS YOU ALL AS YOU CONTINUE IN SERVING THE LORD.

^^^ I don't think you are right. Reason being that, I do not oppose respect for God's authorities and I do not preach against them being honoured. It is not compulsory you agree with what I have said but the truth of the matter is what I have said. "Touch not my anointed" as being quoted has nothing to do with when a man of God is held accountable when he errs and it doesn't mean a man of God cannot be corrected, if done in love. I understand some people take issues personal on this forum and that is their level of maturity in which our feelings are not the same towards issue. Call me names if you like. If you wish to discuss the phrase, "touch not my anointed" is not taken or used out of context, you can go ahead and let's read your view. God bless you.

rhymeup:
DrummaBoy well said. I believe its time for us as Christians to become scholars of the bible. Its time to really read and begin to understand the wonderfulness of what God has in store for us. The reason i mention reading is because you only have to study church history to understand that every new dispensation of Christianity was always at odds with established order and God still moved. Martin Luther started the seeds of what would become the Protestant sect. Please read God's Generals, those men and women of God were moved by God to begin a revival of the faith even though they had Baptists, Catholics, etc at the time. God used them. We need to get into the word and let God lead us.
The OP put in a carefully worded discussion about the Bible and a statement been taken out of context. We should as brothers openly discuss this. The Bible is meant to be discussed with a view to getting a better revelation of God's plans for us. The idea that a topic is sacred and by discussing it we blaspheme is in my opinion WITCHCRAFT.
THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS YOU. I CANNOT BE INTIMIDATED BY WITCHCRAFT.

whom He gave powers
and authority over powers of darkness and this world.
He called them for different purposes to bring good tidings
to mankind, and excise His power over sickness, dead and
all manna of afflictions on earth.
Can you read what you wrote all over again? GOSPEL business? I guess you are one of them being hit by this truth and that is why you carry same spirit to threaten people. Jesus never threatened anyone/people and Jesus was submissive teaching us to be submissive one to another. Please get this truth into your stinking head and get life of Christ into you. So because a man of God is anointed means people cannot question him when he errs? Are you saying we cannot speak the truth to correct a man of God? Isn't David Anointed and was corrected by Nathan the prophets? Religious spirit that brought down Satan from heaven is in you and you need to get right on your knees to seek God. You think going to buy anointing oil to anoint myself is God's way should I speak the truth against a man of God. Get Christ life into you and stop being a man worshiper and rather, stop threatening people with witchcraft and intimidation. GOD LOVES YOU AND SO DO I.

Hey Bro, Hi.

Sorry I owe you the favour about the video, will do it very shortly, have been very busy today.

thanks
Thank you so much for your comment. I almost weep when i watch that video. What has the church turned into? The gospel perverted. My spirit weakens day by day but people like you are "frosbel" encourage me. I don't need stay too long for me to know the kind of person you are. Keep doing good and keep fighting the good fight of faith by contending for the faith that was once delivered to us.

frosbel:
Indeed, the Holy Spirit is building the Church, the church is stronger than ever , more importantly though , the gates of hell will never prevail.


Let's consider what has happened to the physical church in recent times.

1. Savage wolves have infiltrated the church , preying on the sheep and bring the name of Christ into disrepute

"For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock." - Acts 20:29


2. Secondly God's people love it so.

Jeremiah declared, "An appalling and horrible thing bringing desolation and destruction has come to pass in the land: The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests exercise rule at their own hands and by means of the prophets. AND MY PEOPLE LOVE TO HAVE IT SO! But what will you do when the end comes?" (Jer. 5:30-31)

"For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear." - 2 Timothy 4:3


So the problem is mutual, without adequate demand , the supply of these 'crooks' will run out, unfortunately, there is an abundance of demand for false doctrine and false teachers , hence the business booms and blooms, the name of Christ is dragged into the mud, and the whole world laughs them to scorn.

But judgement is coming, a great and terrible judgement , that will shake at the heart of this perverted gospel, God is and will increasinlgy refine his church ( without physical structures ) , the wheat is being sifted from the chaff.

Make no mistake, the bride is still around, pure, spotless and holy with total love for Christ and his word.

Let us not be swayed by these distractions.
ONCE AGAIN, GOD BLESS YOU RIGHTLY FOR THESE WORDS. THEY ENCOURAGED ME.

THIS IS NOT HOW TO RIGHTLY DIVIDE THE WORD OF TRUTH. THE BIBLE EXPLAINS ITSELF AND NOT WE INTERPRETING BIBLE FOR OURSELVES. THIS IS WHY RELIGIOUS LEADERS HAVE DRAWN US TO THE HERESIES AND LIES, BECAUSE THEY PICK SCRIPTURES OUT OF CONTEXT, EXPLAIN IT FOR THEMSELVES AND TEACH THEIR LIES.

PEOPLE OF GOD, PLEASE PICK YOUR BIBLE RIGHT NOW AND READ SAME MATTHEW 23 VS 1-12 AND SEE JESUS TELLING HIS DISCIPLES WHAT HE DEMANDED OF THEM BEFORE HE STARTS TO DECREE WOE ON THE PHARISEES FROM VERSE 13-36. JESUS ALREADY TOLD HIS DISCIPLES NOT TO DO WHAT THE VERSE 1-4. ALSO, THERE ARE 7 WOES TO THE SAME PHARISEES FROM VERSE 13-36, WHY DO RELIGIOUS LEADERS TAKE ONLY VERSE 23 TO JUSTIFY TITHE AND LEAVE OTHER WOES? I CANT UNDERSTAND HOW PEOPLE INTERPRET BIBLE OUT OF GREED AND HUMAN NATURE.

@ bermuda1,

My brother, you have talked wisely. I said the same thing in my article. If you do not agree with any church teaching, kindly leave the church and get another bible believing church.

In my article, I didn't curse or abuse by words any man of God. My point is very very simple and I hope people take me for the simplicity of my message. I do respect men of God, I cherish their efforts in the body of Christ. I also know they are human that are prone to err. This are all facts of our living. The fact that a man of God is anointed those not make him king of kings and this we can see clearly from the word of God. They should not lift themselves to a place where they see themselves as not under anyone expect God. This is not a new testament order. We can correct our pastor with rebellion and him not telling us, "touch not my anointed" as he will be quoting out of context. And for those that comes to defend their pastor when it is clear what they did is wrong by quoting, "touch not my anointed" are also wrong as they are quoting out of context. I hope we get this.

Are you sure you are have given your life to Christ? I didn't insult or threatens anyone here such as you have displayed. Is this how you go about with Jezebel spirit in you? I have simply said, the phrase is often used or taken out of context. I respect men of God, check all my post to verify these claim. I have never insulted any man of God here. Such they do anything wrong, i simply give my opinion from the word of God. Besides, Mariam, Korah, Dathan and Abiram is a clear picture of rebellion and has nothing to do with what we are talking about. Am very sure you are one of those folks that doesn't read their bibles but only take the words of the men of God and idolize pastors. Anyway, a curse without cause does not stand says the Lord.

Christianity EtcRe: America's Founding fathers were not Christians by Goshen360(m): 6:41pm On Feb 09, 2012
frosbel:
Abraham Lincoln said: "I have never united myself to any church because I could not give assent to the long complicated statements of Christian doctrine and dogma which characterize their articles of belief and confession of faith. When any church will require only the Great Commandment (the Jewish Shema) for belief, then I will join that church." Lincoln would never be baptized ,  he would never make any profession of "Christian" faith ,  he would never affiliate with any church or denomination ,  he never subscribed to any liturgy or ritual. His own wife said, "My husband is not a Christian but is a religious man, I think."

Too many of us are like the priests in Galileo's day who refused to look through the telescope for fear of what they might see. And too many of us are like the lady who, when first told about evolution, responded with, "Well, let us pray to God that it is not true, but IF IT IS TRUE, then let us pray to God nobody ever hears about it."

My brother, you have said the truth. These men claim to believe the bible but manifest the characteristics of cults. You need to see how American go crazy about buying some nonsense daily devotion by Abraham Lincoln and popularly sold by TBN and other Christians TV. They will never hammer on people reading the bible as daily devotion but will rather prefer to make gains out of God's people. I see a lot of falsehood here in the USA. God help us.
