Religious Hypocrisy

Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭34‬, ”Who then condemns?
NO ONE, for Christ Jesus died for us and was raised to life for us. He is now sitting in the place of honor (and judgment) at God’s right hand, interceding for us.“ (nlt)

Christmas is just another day to celebrate the birth of Jesus for TRUE CHRISTIANS and the only ritual we need to have in order to be saved from our sinful nature is “TRUE REPENTANCE,” so that we might follow the Holy Character of Jesus better.🙂

The truth is, as long as any ritual or holiday is NOT creating idols before God (of possession, rivalry, coveting, false religious condemnation or evil practices that are NOT of innocent behavior) there should be no problem and no human blind judgments made. 🙂

-Colossians 2, Galatians 5:1-2-
Romans 8 and Romans 10:9-10

‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭10‬:‭1‬-‭11‬, ”Now I, appeal to you with the gentleness and kindness of Christ—though I realize you think I am timid in person and BOLD only when I write from far away. Well, I am begging you now so that when I come I won’t have to be bold with those who think we act from human motives. We are human, but we don’t WAGE WAR as humans do. We use God’s mighty weapons, not worldly weapons, to knock down the strongholds of human reasoning and TO DESTROY FALSE ARGUMENTS. We destroy every proud obstacle that keeps people from knowing God. We capture their rebellious thoughts and teach them to obey Christ. And after you have become fully obedient, we will punish everyone who remains disobedient. Look at the obvious facts. Those who say they belong to Christ must recognize that we belong to Christ as much as they do. I may seem to be boasting too much about the authority given to us by the Lord. But our authority builds you up; it doesn’t tear you down. So I will not be ashamed of using my authority. I’m not trying to frighten you by my letters. For some say, “Paul’s letters are demanding and forceful, but in person he is weak, and his speeches are worthless!” Those people should realize that our actions when we arrive in person will be as forceful as what we say in our letters from far away.” ‭(nlt)

‭‭2 Timothy‬ ‭1‬:‭7‬-‭11‬, ”For God has NOT given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of BOLD power, love, and self-discipline. So never be ashamed to tell others about our Lord. And don’t be ashamed of me, either, even though I’m in prison for him. With the strength God gives you, be ready to suffer with me for the sake of the Good News. For God saved us and called us to live a holy life. He did this, not because we deserved it, but because that was his plan from before the beginning of time—to show us his grace through Christ Jesus. And now he has made all of this plain to us by the appearing of Christ Jesus, our Savior. He broke the power of death and illuminated the way to life and immortality through the Good News. And God chose me to be a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher of this Good News.“ (nlt)

Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭38‬-‭39‬, ”And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ our Lord.“ (nlt)

This is why Jesus said,
John‬ ‭5‬:‭33‬-‭44‬, ”In fact, you sent investigators to listen to John the Baptist, and his testimony about me was true. Of course, I have no need of human witnesses, but I say these things so you might be saved. John was like a burning and shining lamp, and you were excited for a while about his message. But I have a greater witness than John—my teachings and my miracles. The Father gave me these works to accomplish, and they prove that he sent me. And the Father who sent me has testified about me himself. You have never heard his voice or seen him face to face, and you do not have his message in your hearts, because you do not believe me—the one he sent to you. “You search the Scriptures because you think they give you eternal life. But the Scriptures point to me JESUS! Yet you refuse to come to me to receive this life. “Your approval means nothing to me (or any of my true followers), because I know you don’t have God’s love within you. For I have come to you in my Father’s name, and you have rejected me. Yet if others come in their own name, you gladly welcome them. No wonder you can’t believe! For you gladly honor each other, but you don’t care about the honor that comes from the one who alone is God.“ (nlt)

‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭10‬:‭17‬, As the Scriptures say, “If you want to boast, boast only about the Lord.” ‭(nlt) In Jesus name, Amen 🙏

Short Video Sermons

This is why I believe, whoever teaches “The Living Word of God” should also LIVE out the words that they teach, rather than burden others with a lot of opinions and very little edification. I believe James 1:27 and 1 Corinthians 4:18-21 speak about this.

Also, 1 John 3, 1 Timothy 6:4-6 and 1 Peter 5:3 are good prayer points (for application) if anyone would like to consider themselves a good teacher of how to give a good testimony for Jesus instead of their own ministry. (Rev 19:10)

“DIVORCE AND RE-MARRIAGE DONE RIGHT”

This morning I was inspired to share the following testimony of how our relationship is God ordained to defeat Religious lies. The question that troubles many is whether or not divorced or widowed “men or women” can be remarried under God’s Righteous Law.

Well, The Bible says things that firmly do not allow re-marriage in the old testament and they were said for good reason “THEN” and still can be applied for good reason “NOW.”

So, to partially explain how God’s Grace has redeemed my wife Jessica and I from our previous marriages that ended in 2015 and 2017.

Here is a brief summary:
I was divorced because of my own PAST failures, behaviors, poor choices and the sins that my first marriage was built on. The same SINS that did not offer my ex “The Spiritual Armor” for her to remain true. My second wife Jessica was divorced because her own similar past poor choices and her ex also did not remain loyal to their vows.

The reality is, we were both unequally yoked in our first marriages that lasted well over a decade.

So when the old testament says things like, “They may choose their wives only from among the virgins of Israel or the widows of the priests. They may not marry other widows or divorced women.“ (Ezekiel‬ ‭44‬:‭22‬, nlt) We must consult the entire Bible for guidance and NOT just a few scriptures.

To explain from our experience, when her and I met, we were both DIVORCED FROM THIS WORLD and we were both fully committed to GOD as our father of moral integrity and the BRIDE-GROOM to whom we were married.

So, if we hadn’t been set free from sin (John 8:36) then we should definitely NOT have re-married.

However, we were divinely brought together “by God” to help break RELIGIOUS LIES like what has been expressed in a recent conversation of Social and Religious Persecution. Explained as, a legally complicated unfortunate situation caused by a family whose son had passed away very young and who proceeded to insist the widow remain true to her first marriage and never remarry out of Religious obligation.

Well, let it be globally known that God does not want us to be brokenhearted and miserable forever but there is purpose for us to become reconciled to God (through repentance of sin) from our heartbreaks and challenging curcumstances. (Ref: 2 Corinth 5:10-21)

The truth is, He wants us to be OBEDIENT to His Will and if He unites a woman or a man that lost (or was rightfully divorced from) their spouse “with a GODLY SPOUSE,” then what UNGODLY PERSON should force a yoke of slavery that GOD IS BREAKING?

(Ref: Gal 5:1-3)

As the Bible says,
Malachi‬ ‭2‬:‭13‬-‭17, ”You cover the Lord’s altar with tears, weeping and groaning because He pays no attention to your offerings and doesn’t accept them with pleasure. You cry out, “Why doesn’t the Lord accept my worship?” I’ll tell you why! Because the Lord witnessed the vows you and your spouse made when you were young. But you have been unfaithful to her (or him), though she (or he) remained your faithful partner, the wife (or husband) of your marriage vows. Didn’t the Lord make you one with your spouse? In both body and spirit you are theirs. And what does God want? Godly children from your union. So guard your heart; REMAIN LOYAL to the wife (or husband) of your youth. “For I hate divorce!” says the Lord, the God of Israel. “To divorce your spouse (without righteous reason) is to overwhelm them with cruelty,” says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies. “So guard your heart; do not be unfaithful to your spouse.” You have wearied the Lord with your words. “How have we wearied him?” you ask. You have wearied him by saying that all who do evil are good in the Lord’s sight, and He is pleased with them. You have wearied Him by asking, “Where is the God of justice?” ‭

Nlt and Spiritual Clarity for Understanding

As for us,
Jess and I were both overly devoted and faithfully married previously and this clearly says, the one who was adulterous is the cause for the divorce. Even though God hates it. There is justice to be served. (Ref: Ecc 3:11-17)

So then, what should God do with a man or woman who is meant to be loyally married but was not?

Well, His ways are not our ways and we should apply the whole Bible to our lives because when our lives our surrendered to God’s Standards of moral integrity, “GRACE” sets us free “through JESUS.” (Ref: John 8:31-47 and John 10:10)

This is why we pray the entire world understands that “GOD WILL DO WHATEVER GOD WANTS” and we are simply to trust in Him with our heart, minds and our ways.

As for me, the above scripture says, “what does God want? Godly children from your union.”

Well, I’ve somehow been able to keep my two daughters seeking God’s heart for over 7 years. My oldest daughter (who’s currently 20 years old) is definitely living proof of this as she is WIDE AWAKE and fully married to Jesus.

With that said,
We pray this teaching and our example is encouraging for everyone because our prayers are for FREEDOM from religious hypocrisy or oppression to be given GLOBALLY soon. (Ref: 1 Thess 5:17-23)

In closing,

If anyone is interested in reading our published book or getting the link for our webblog, be encouraged to reach out for more information. Especially if they’d like to partner with us in efforts to share THE TRUTH that defeats all false religious lies or help us feed children from all over the world through Global Orphan Relief and perhaps even support a few small ministries in other countries who are well vetted by us over the past few years.

As The Bible says,
James 1‬:‭27‬, ”True spirituality that is pure in the eyes of our Father God is to make a difference in the lives of orphans and widows in their troubles, and to refuse to be corrupted by the world’s values.“ (tpt)

— SHALOM SHALOM —

Meaning, may the perfect peace that surpasses all understanding THROUGH JESUS be given to you and your families. AMEN 🙏

One day, all “True Christ Followers” will know and teach these things. Then we won’t have to repeat ourselves to those who still have not truly surrendered to follow Jesus instead of their opinions or religious justifications.

For further context.

Sadly, these people never actually read the scriptures that are recommended to them.

Galatians‬ ‭6‬:‭7‬-‭10‬, ”Don’t be misled. You cannot mock the justice of God. You will always harvest what you plant. Those who live only to satisfy their own sinful nature will harvest decay and death from that sinful nature. But those who live to please the Spirit will harvest everlasting life from the Spirit. So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up. Therefore, whenever we have the opportunity, we should do good to everyone. Especially to those in the family of faith.“ (nlt)
