“The Knowledge of the Holy”
What’s the worst part about our sin? What is the core issue of sin?
THE WORST PART ABOUT OUR SIN IS NOT THE PHYSICAL EFFECT IT WILL HAVE ON OUR LIVES BUT RATHER THAT WE HAVE OFFENDED GOD WHO IS “HOLY, HOLY, HOLY.” (ISAIAH 6:3; REVELATION 4:8) THE WORST THINGS ABOUT OUR SIN PERTAINS TO OUR VIOLATING THE HOLINESS OF THE ALMIGHTY WHO IS THE MAKER AND JUDGE OF OUR ETERNAL SOULS. THE WORST PART ABOUT OUR SIN IS NOT A DAMAGED LIVER DUE TO TOO MUCH ALCOHOL OR AN STD DUE TO FORNICATION. WE MUST PREACH THIS WITH GOD’S GLORY IN MIND AND NOT TO ENTICE MEN ON A SUPERFICIAL LEVEL. OUR PREACHING MUST BE FROM GOD’S HEART WHICH HE GAVE US IN HIS WRITTEN WORD (PSALMS 33:11). IN HIS HOLY FEAR, WHEN WE ADDRESS SIN, WE MUST ALWAYS SPEAK BEGINNING WITH THE ROOT OFFENSE AGAINST GOD.
“Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity…” Habakkuk 1:13
Fearing God is a command and an essential. When we truly begin to fear Him, we then begin to gain and grasp “the knowledge of the holy.”
“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.” Proverbs 9:10
May our LORD bless each of His true disciples with His holy fear and begin to teach us “the knowledge of the holy” which He alone can do.
“The knowledge of the holy” is what each true disciple is in great need of. When we have His holy fear we will know His holy divine nature and it is then that He alone will be first in our lives and not ourselves or any other mere human. Then, His Word will take place in our lives and all false teachings exposed in the light of His truth (Psalms 119:104, 128).
Those who choose to fear the LORD “shall come forth of them all” in the end (Ecclesiastes 7:18). Yet, those who do not “choose the fear of the LORD” will be found wanting in the end and for all eternity.
“Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me: 29For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD: 30They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof. 31Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices. 32For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them. 33But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.” Proverbs 1:28-31
The worst part about our sin is that it is an offense to our “Holy, holy, holy” God and Judge with whom we have to do (Isaiah 6:3; Rev. 4:8). Learning, knowing, embracing, and keeping ever in mind the truth that the LORD our God is “Holy, holy, holy” will help guide you into truth and the discernment of that which is off camber.
“This is certainly unfortunate and alarming to say the least (STD’s being spread through fornication). However, even though sexually transmitted diseases are quite horrible, and can even cause loss of life; the Christian, (and especially the Christian minister), must not use the dangers of sexually transmitted diseases as a deterrent to fornication in the youth, or anyone else for that matter. Instead we should preach the word of the Lord and give them warning from HIM who said that fornicators shall not inherit the kingdom of God. It is not the threat of disease that the bible warns of, but the danger of Hellfire and eternal torment. This should be the true motivation for our young people to avoid fornication, and come to Christ. Remember, even if that young person remained a virgin until marriage, they will still go to Hell when they die unless they repent toward God, and have faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.” Jimmy Lathan
Holiness is the work of God in the heart of one of His children. He is moving on and sanctifying the born again believer, causing him to walk in the new man, putting off the old man (Colossians 3:1-14).
First and foremost, if or when we sin, it is against God because He alone is Holy in His divine nature and our being holy is completely contingent upon our abiding in Him who is the Holy One. When false teachers simply speak about the effects of sin (VD, liver damage, etc.), this is a red flag. When false programs like CR (Celebrate Recovery) never mention our vertical offense against a God who is Holy and only deal with the horizontal offense against mere men, this is a direct denial of the LORD and reveals great blindness of darkened hearts.
Nevermind Rick “the devil” Warren‘s “recovery” garbage, it’s time to recover the original Gospel of Jesus which is the only answer to man’s sin problem! (Jude 3-4) SIN is still man’s core dilemma for which Christ came! Oh and the original Gospel begins with the divine command to “repent.” (Matthew 3:2; 4:17; Acts 2:38, etc.)
The point of this message is to underscore that only God is independently holy and so if we choose to sin, it is first and foremost an offense against Him who is “Holy, holy, holy,” and “harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens.” (Hebrews 7:26) Secondarily, if we choose to sin, it’s a sin against others and our own bodies (1 Corinthians 6:18; 1 Thessalonians 4:1-8. Most ministry today never points this out but is man-centered and so only speaks of sin in respect to its effect upon men.
“Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight…” Psalms 51:4
Here David speaks of his sin and calls it “evil.” Note that this man after God’s heart never referred to sin as a “mistake” or a “bad habit” like many modern wolves and betrayers of the LORD. Honesty is a high premium with God (Luke 8:15).
Whenever we have offended or done our fellow man wrong, we have first sinned against the Maker of that man. So, even then, we have first and foremost sinned against God Himself “Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.” (1 Timothy 6:16)
Think about it: Only God is “Holy, holy, holy” and so if we sin it is a violation of His Law first and foremost. Yet, many modern pop-psycho programs and the wolves who facilitate them deny, dismiss, ignore and/or deal only with the temporal effects of sin. They are dealing only with the surface level instead of getting to the root of the unbelief and rebellion. Putting God first is essential and the dividing line between those who know and truly serve Him and those who feign to represent Him. We must personally live and call for “repentance toward God” which alone will bring His deliverance, refreshing, and healing (Acts 3:19; 20:21). “Times of refreshing” come as we “repent” according to Acts 3:19.
The sins of others are no greater than yours because God is “Holy, holy, holy.” Is 6:3; Rev 4:8 Selah!
“False Burdens and Causes of Banishment”
“Thy prophets (false) have seen vain and foolish things for thee: and they have not discovered thine iniquity, to turn away thy captivity; but have seen for thee false burdens and causes of banishment.” Lamentations 2:14
The prophet Jeremiah says here that the false leaders of his day “have seen for thee false burdens and causes of banishment.”
“False Burdens” – Jeremiah reveals that instead of leading the LORD’s people into recognizing that He is Holy and into repentance from unholy things, those false prophets “have seen for thee false burdens and causes of banishment.” In other words, those leaders, like the false teachers in our day, tended to the fanfare of lighter things like the modern-day prosperity message, church growth, self-help programs, how to cope with problems and various dainty non-essentials taught by fad authors. Simply put, false leaders, who far outnumber the true ones, misdirect and mislead souls and they are only able to do so with people who are not learning God’s Word for themselves (John 8:31-32; Acts 17:11; 2 Timothy 2:15; 3:16-17). One such antichrist wolf is Rick Warren.
Concerning his his Celebrate Recovery program, Rick Warren writes:
“What we need is a biblical and balanced program to help people overcome their hurts, habits and hang-ups. Celebrate Recovery is that program. Based on the actual words of Jesus rather than psychological theory, our recovery program is unique, and more effective in helping people change than anything else I’ve seen or heard of.”
Notice the misdirection or curb ball he throws in the first sentence here when he speaks of a “balanced program.” Yet the whole title and premise is not to honor, worship, and celebrate Jesus Christ but rather to celebrate recovery! Do you see this deception? Then this vile wolf goes out of his way to say that his program is biblical and not psychological and lies about his program “helping people.” Yet, just like the false leaders of Jeremiah’s day and every generation, Warren has “not discovered thine iniquity, to turn away thy captivity; but have seen for thee false burdens and causes of banishment.” (Lamentations 2:14) No, instead Rick Warren says his program (not God’s) will “help people overcome their hurts, habits and hang-ups.” What’s missing? Notice the absence of calling sin, sin?!!!!!!! Bingo!
In the text below, let us look at what Jeremiah says further concerning those who held positions of leadership among the LORD’s people in that day. Also, we should ask: Has anything changed? Is this what the LORD sees among those in leadership today who have come in His name but don’t bear His fruit and doctrine?
“The wise men (leaders) are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken (morally weakened through sin): lo, they have rejected the word of the LORD; and what wisdom is in them?…for every one from the least even unto the greatest is given to covetousness, from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely. For they have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace. Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush (hardened hearts, seared consciences): therefore shall they fall among them that fall: in the time of their visitation they shall be cast down, saith the LORD.” Jeremiah 8:9-12
By removing from the message the eternal, divine truth that God is “Holy, holy, holy”and the need for His people to come to repentance, the false prophets had “healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly (superficially), saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.” They removed the essential message of the holiness of God and the need of repentance from sin before a holy God and the very Judge of our eternal souls – “except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.” (Lk. 13:3) These men had “rejected the word of the LORD” in their personal lives and therefore in their service to the LORD. Though they once personally embraced and preached the holiness of the Most High and repentance, they now became wiser than the Almighty and therefore leaned to their own darkened understanding, vainly believing they knew what their modern generation needed more than the LORD – “Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.” (Rom. 1:22) After all, things had changed right? They lived in a new age, more enlightened than any previous time in history – correct? Wrong. Since the fall of man in the Garden, the heart of the human problem has been the problem of the human heart. God is holy and we have sinned against Him who is holy and must render repentance from sin and not call it something or anything else than that which it is in His holy eyes – sin. This is the divine prescription and is man’s only hope in contacting His Maker’s grace and mercy (Acts 3:19). In order to be justified – exonerated from the punishment and penalty of sin – one must fall upon the sheer mercy of the One who is “full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.” (Ps. 86:15)
Why were God’s people not “ashamed when they had committed abomination”? Because they didn’t follow the LORD but rather they followed the false leaders who dealt “falsely” as they were“handling the word of God deceitfully.” (2 Corinthians 4:2) There was no convicting teaching on sin and holiness and judgment and repentance among them. Their leaders were betraying the LORD and His people for their own self-gain (“covetousness”). Nothing has changed in our day. So, beware when you hear a man not speaking of the holiness of the Almighty and His requirement for all that will be with Him to “Be ye holy; for I am holy.” (1 Peter 1:15-16) Beware of those who refuse to use the biblical word “sin” and instead replace it with minimizing words like “mistake” and “habits.” Those two words never appear in Holy Writ. Modern wolves like Rick Warren and those beguiling leaders who follow him also speak of “hurts” which in their corrupted definition, deals only on a human level which reveals the idolatrous religion of humanism they espouse and perpetrate. This simply means that they treat man as his own little god around which the world revolves instead of the true Christian whose world revolves around the LORD Jesus Christ (Galatians 2:20; 6:14). This is luciferic (Isaiah 14:12-15).
“But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; 16Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.” 1 Peter 1:15-16
There is no hiding that each of us whom He has found and saved, have needed to repent and confess our sins along the way. This is essential to continually being washed by the very precious blood of Christ (1 John 1:7, 9). Yet, if we begin to subvert divine truth by covering our sins and not acknowledging them before Him, we are in big trouble.
“He that covereth (tries to hide) his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.” Proverbs 28:13
We must be aware of the tendency of the flesh to depart from the light of Christ’s truth and migrate to smooth talking wolves who pretend to be helping us while simultaneously guiding us safely into the bowels of eternal punishment (2 Timothy 4:2-4). God really is “Holy, holy, holy” and only those who draw their last breath in this life in a state of holiness will be with Him eternally.
“Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord.” Hebrews 12:14
Consequence of our Sin
Is that sin really worthy it?
“Bread of deceit is sweet to a man; but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel (remorse, regret).” Proverbs 20:17
The idiom used here to convey the reaping, the remorse for our sin is “afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel (regret).”
THE DEVIL IS A LIAR! He’s never going to tempt you to sin against the LORD and then remind you of the consequences.

FEEDBACK:
“I just finished reading an article on your website about psychology, and it’s so true! I tried to kill myself (guilt over sins) about 4 years ago, and was put in the pavillion. Afterwards, I loved the attention I got from everyone. I was ordered to go to counseling twice a week, and I looked forward to those meetings. Why? I got to talk about myself. I also used that as an excuse as to why I did stupid things in those few months. After being born again, I realized that I needed to take responsibility for my actions and not blame anyone or some “mental illness.” The doctor still tries to put me on antidepressants. I won’t take them. I don’t need them. I have Jesus.” Misty N.

The Over Population Delusion Exposed [video]

FACT: There are 100 people groups that are uncontacted and remain isolated from modern societies which is further proof of over population being an induced myth.
FACTS are dangerous to those who perpetrate lying propaganda. Example:
Threat: There Were 93,331 Drug Overdose Deaths in the US in 2020 and ZERO Deaths from Climate Change in the US in 2020
While these lying agents of the enemy of all souls push the “danger” of “global warming,” the simple facts eviscerate their agenda.
ALL of Creation, Including the Earth and its People, are Exclusively God’s Property
The LORD owns the earth, not you, luciferian. You are an antichrist sinner, less than a spec of dust in contrast to the Almighty who said “The earth is the LORD’S, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.” (Psalms 24:1)
Depopulation Devils Exposed! The earth is the LORD’s and He said He wants it populated! (Psalms 24:1) Those who participate in deciding who lives and who dies are murderers in the eyes of the Almighty. And, any person encouraging people not to have children is encouraging something that is against what God stated and is a divine command that is still in full force – “And God blessed them, and God said unto them, BE FRUITFUL, AND MULTIPLY, AND REPLENISH THE EARTH, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.” (Genesis 1:28)
“Those who believe the over population myth should humbly read the Bible and it will wipe out their ignorance. Especially the book of Genesis.” Shadrack Rotich
No such thing as over population. Anyone who believes that has been deceived by the murderous depopulationists. Not long ago a study was done which proved that every person in the world could live comfortably in the state of Texas. The LORD who made the earth, made it to be inhabited and provide everything for such to happen. These are antichrists who are against the LORD and His plan to fill the earth with people (Genesis 1:28). Over population is a lie to push the agenda of depopulating the earth by murdering billions. It’s time to make peace with your Maker, the Judge of your eternal soul – before it’s too late. Peace with God
Those who believe in this lie of over population are bearing false witness against the Almighty and making a foolish, ungrounded indictment upon our Maker. Totally gullible. Bought the lies. It’s all an evil agenda to communize the world, and a communist world dictator is coming, the antichrist. Communism has never worked and never will – except temporarily for those ruling over the masses. Communism is the few self-appointed elites murderously ruling with tyranny. Only deceived souls are buying this delusion.
Below is a lost soul disagreeing with my above statements:
“The world is grossly over populated. We could do with a few generations who don’t want to have children. If everyone just kept popping them out like you suggest, how does the world sustain that many people?” Amy
MY REPLY:
Who the heck do you think you are pretending to decide who can live and who must die to suit the delusions you’ve gullibly bought into? You are completely selfish, sinner. What if someone, some other luciferian decides that YOU are expendable? – That you don’t matter and should be eliminated? Do you know what Jesus’ Golden Rule states?
“And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.” Luke 6:31
“The earth is THE LORD’s” not yours (Psalms 24:1) One thing’s for certain – There is a God and you are not Him.
“The earth is the LORD’S, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.” Psalms 24:1
The LORD made the earth and doesn’t need puny finite beings like us “deciding” that there is not enough room for more people. Total selfishness. It’s not up to YOU to decide if God’s green earth is over populated. You are completely brain washed, indoctrinated into the religion of self-worship, secular humanism. Not long ago an extensive study showed that the whole population of the world could fit in the state of Texas, each person and family with a large piece of land. Case closed. Junk science. Lies.
Regrettably, you don’t yet see the end game agenda of these scams you’ve bought into. The lie of over population and the murderous depopulation agenda is are tools of the evil dictators in order to accomplish global dominance. This will bring the most horrific times the earth has ever seen under the antichrist.
“For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. 22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.” Matthew 24:21-22

“Cursed be the Man that Trusteth in Man” [podcast]

A Nuclear Revelation
“Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.” Jeremiah 17:5
“Cursed be the man that trusteth in man” is a powerful verse from the Bible, commonly associated with a specific warning against relying on human strength rather than God.”
So many act like Spurgeon or some other mere man’s writings are on the same level as Holy Scripture. NOT! They prove their idolatry. They are in sin. They glory in mere men and not the LORD! Hell awaits. Jeremiah 17:5; Isaiah 2:22; 1 Corinthians 1:29-31, etc.
God calls us to worship, love, seek, trust, and obey Him as the ultimate authority of our lives in this world.
Another example of this is the idolatry of the demonic fraud CS Lewis!
THIS JUST IN:
“Amen! Amen for Prov 10:22. All glory be to Him!
By the grace of God I discovered last night your website, praise Him, in search for exposure on CS Lewis.
By the grace of God I learnt as a baby believer, 20 years ago, that his teachings are dangerous including that witchcraft book and movie, Narnia. Sadly, so called mature Christians in the UK are considering him a saint, a born again believer.
I sent prayerfully (as I expected backlashes) to my friend last night, a few links exposing CS Lewis including the photo from your website which is brilliant exposure, praise Him but she is still claiming that he ‘was truly a born again’ ….. sending me his videos! It’s a principle: I don’t watch, read listen to CS Lewis and many others! The Bible is so rich in teachings, why do I need CS Lewis!?
My friend is a mature believer, born again believer for over 60-70 years and she cannot see it!
I had to use the VPN and duckduck search engine to get the website exposing CS Lewis, as in the UK, nothing will come up! Most of the Christians are bewitched by Narnia and Lord of the Rings! No wonder the country is in such a state of delusion! May the Lord have mercy!
Many blessings in His Name, V.”
“Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of?” Isaiah 2:22
Those who look to men, who receive un-biblical counsel instead of testing it against the Word of God, are trusting in mere man and have brought a curse upon themselves (Jeremiah 17:5-6; Acts 17:10-11; 2 Timothy 3:16-17, etc.). Those who look anywhere except to the LORD Himself are idolaters, are committing spiritual adultery, and will without exception depart from Him and be lost (v. 5). Their names “shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the LORD, the fountain of living waters” (v. 13). The phrase “written in the earth” is in contrast to their names being “written in heaven” (Luke 10:20; Hebrews 12:23). Hell is in the bowels of the earth and that’s where every single person who is not looking wholly to the LORD will spend eternity (Revelation 20:11-15).
Let me get this straight, you pretend to be saved and yet run to some foolish sinner to get drugged for lack of peace or ability to sleep or depression. You are completely deceived and God is calling you to repent now. If you knew Him, would you not be trusting Him and not sinful mere men? “Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD (Jeremiah 17:5).
You’ve tried the CURSE and it never worked…. Are you ready to let CHRIST make you whole?
Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD. 6 For he shall be like the heath in the desert (spiritually dry, desolate), and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited. 7 Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is. 8 For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit. 9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? 10 I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings. 11 As the partridge sitteth on eggs, and hatcheth them not; so he that getteth riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the midst of his days, and at his end shall be a fool. 12 A glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary. 13 O LORD, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee shall be ashamed, and they that depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the LORD, the fountain of living waters. 14 Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise.” Jeremiah 17:5-14
Psychology/psychobabble, therapy from mere men, sinners…. is a scam, and leaves the victim without hope. Jesus Christ is the only hope for man’s core dilemma—which is sin! ANY person pointing you to a “THE-RAPIST” is demon inspired. They speak against the Word of God and are the child of the devil! See Colossians 2:6-10. SINNERS need the Savior—not some sinner with an indoctrination in the fine of art of applying bandages, never getting to the root. Repent now (Jeremiah 17:9). Jesus alone can make a man whole! (Luke 4:18)
Man’s therapy and psychobabble are laughably insufficient and have never once gotten to the root issue of man’s dilemma which is sin. Jesus says that He “came into the world to save sinners” (1 Timothy 1:15).
Drugs and psychobabble are laughable mere band aids to rob unbelievers, gullible dupes of their money.
“Jesus Christ maketh thee whole”
Only One can make you whole—the One who made you and died and rose again for you.
“And Peter said unto him, Aeneas, Jesus Christ maketh thee whole: arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately.” Acts 9:34
“Yep that’s me, the woman with the Alabaster box. And that is all I need—my alabaster box and Jesus! No need for meds or to be psycho-analyzed by some quack. One touch from Jesus is all I need! Just as the woman who touched the hem of His garment and was immediately healed! Luke 8: 43-48. One touch is all she needed.” Karen Cochran

Modern Day Cult of Personality Exposed [podcast]

What is the Cult of Personality?
“Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.” 1 John 4:1
Beware when you see any mere man enshrined, basically worshipped by his followers. This is all too common in today’s church world and sometimes it’s very subtle. When people begin putting what a mere man says above what God says in His Word, when they quote him instead of the Bible, you know you have a cult.
One source notes:
“A cult of personality, or a cult of the leader, is the result of an effort to create an idealized and heroic image of an admirable leader, often through unquestioning flattery and praise.”‘
CS Lewis has a cult following today, 100%. I’ve encountered it first hand. These people don’t care what you show them as far as the blatant falsehoods he spoke, and have soul tied their affections to him and will defend him no matter what.
A quick search on “what CS Lewis said about the Catholic church”…
“As an Anglican, C.S. Lewis shared many beliefs with the Catholic Church, including the Real Presence in the Eucharist, the necessity of confession, and a belief in Purgatory. However, he explicitly rejected papal authority, the concept of papal infallibility, and certain Marian doctrines.
Shared Beliefs
Lewis held a deeply sacramental and traditional view of Christianity, which aligned closely with Catholic theology:
The Sacraments: He regularly went to confession to a priest and viewed the Eucharist as central to the faith.
The Afterlife: He famously argued that “our souls demand Purgatory”, writing that we would naturally want to be cleansed of our sins before standing in God’s presence.
Devotion: He had a high view of saints and appreciated traditional liturgical practices.”
The same is true for modern day celebrities such as Candace Owens. On a recent live broadcast where she interviewed a man, he showed her live on air, that she was wrong about several things and kindly asked her to apologize several times. Regrettably, Candace was unwilling to apologize, and most of her cult followers backed her up, cheered her on.
She was called to account for false info and didn’t apologize when asked to.
Her followers cheered her on, never stopping to question things.
Their hearts are set on her not Christ (Colossians 3:1-4).
No matter WHAT she says, they believe it.
Wow.
Jesus says:
“I receive not honour from men. … 44 How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?” John 5:41, 44
By saying this, Jesus condemns putting trust in any mere man.
Jesus makes it clear here that anyone who puts their heart affections in a mere man or woman, is unable to believe on the LORD Jesus Christ for eternal life.
“And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up for one against another. 7 For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?” 1 Corinthians 4:6-7
“4:6 He first explains that in speaking about the Christian ministry and the tendency to follow human leaders (3:5-4:5), he used himself and Apollos as the examples. The Corinthians were not forming parties around Paul and Apollos alone, but also around other men who were then in their church. However, out of a sense of Christian courtesy and delicacy, Paul transferred the entire matter to himself and Apollos so that by their example the saints would learn not to have exaggerated opinions of their leaders or to gratify their pride by the formation of parties. He wanted the saints to evaluate everything and everyone by the Scriptures.
4:7 If one Christian teacher is more gifted than another, it is because God made him so. Everything he has, he received from the Lord. In fact it is true of all of us that everything we have has been given to us by God. That being the case, why should we be proud or puffed up? Our talents and gifts are not the result of our own cleverness.” Believer’s Bible Commentary
“I know that ye are Abraham’s seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.” John 8:37
“The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe.” Proverbs 29:25
“Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.” Jeremiah 17:5
“Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of?” Isaiah 2:22
“LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is; that I may know how frail I am. 5 Behold, thou hast made my days as an handbreadth; and mine age is as nothing before thee: verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity. Selah.” Psalms 139:4-5
“A glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary.” Jeremiah 17:12
“Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. 15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.” Hebrews 4:14-16
1 Corinthians 1:29-2:5
“that no flesh should glory in his presence. 30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: 31 that, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
2:1 And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God. 2 For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. 3 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. 4 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: 5 that your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
“2:5 Paul knew that there was the utmost danger that his hearers might be interested in himself or in his own personality rather than in the living Lord. Conscious of his own inability to bless or to save, he determined that he would lead men to trust in God alone rather than in the wisdom of men. All who proclaim the gospel message or teach the word of God should make this their constant aim.” Believer’s Bible Commentary
“Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes behold the things that are equal.” Psalms 17:2
“Sentence” here means verdict.
Prayer of Repentance to be Restored to the LORD: Holy Father, in the name of Jesus Christ and by His precious blood He shed to make me one with You, I come to you—in my sinful state. LORD, I openly acknowledge that I have departed from You and sinfully rebelled against You in the sin of idolatry. Right this moment, if never before, I call upon You, Holy Father, asking You to forgive my sins, to change my life, to break me to the core of my being. I fully believe that Jesus Christ is God Almighty, that He came in the flesh, lived a sinless life as the very only begotten Son of God, died on the cross for the sins of mankind, was buried, rose again from the dead, and is soon going to return! I love You my LORD Jesus and from this moment forward, I am all Yours! I will follow You according to Your Word and Holy Spirit. Please fill me with Your Holy Ghost and use me every day of my life that You grant! In Jesus’ name, amen!
