Jas.4.4 - Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the ENEMY of God.

Use a bible with modern day words, bro.

You made a mistake and the whole sense was lost.

Hmm. I see your point, but the message is still very clear in there.

Thanks.

Jas.4.4 - You adulterers! Don't you realize that friendship with this world makes you an enemy of God? I say it again, that if your aim is to enjoy this world, you can't be a friend of God.

NLT

But your pastors are enjoying the world. Jets, fat bank balance, sexual scandals, etc are typical nowadays.

Not exactly for me bro. I have always sought to follow men like Jesus himself or his great servants like Paul. Hence, it's been over six years now since I stopped going to church, having combed virtually all kinds of churches around; found out that the leaders are deeply unchristlike: stuck with the love of Money and Popularity, yet with a form of godliness, religious or holy appearances, great sermons, signs and miracles, etc.

People are deceived because they love lies: they love religious men and people's opinions MORE than God. They won't read and believe the bible for themselves, but wait for their ALMIGHTY's opinions first (pastor/prophet/church's interpretation).

We shall know them by their Fruits, "not necessarily" by their GIFTS, SIGNS OR PROSPERITY.

Matt.7.21 - "Not all people who sound religious are really godly. They may refer to me as 'LORD' but they still won't enter the Kingdom of Heaven. The decisive issue is whether they OBEY my Father in heaven.


May Jesus bless you all.
