Although
Jesus Christ in Matthew 5:17-20 said the following: "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets;
I have not come to abolish them but to fulfil them. I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any
means disappear from the Law until
everything is accomplished. Anyone
who breaks one of the least of these
commandments and teaches others to
do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of
heaven. For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the
Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom
of heaven."
How
arrogant and conceited, but the modern human is become, if he imagines actually, that a creature can command his Creator, what
up to date is and what not! In the Bible we read more than once that
everything, what is written in the word of god, have eternal validity.
God has
given His creatures; clear and simple guidelines on how they should lead their
lives in order to gain salvation. He also gave to the human free will to choose
either for or against him. Those who choose God, has to do nothing else, than
to keep his commandments. This also applies things, of which is claiming now,
from the people, that they did not up to date anymore! Just as the Sabbath, the
feasts of the Lord, women be silent in the temple, clothing at church, food
intake, etc.! These things, for God are always be valid. But God does not force
anyone, to keep his commandments. He will not let that those go unpunished;
which teaching different doctrines, as in the Bible is written. By the heresies
of modern scribes and Pharisees (theologians and preachers), many people is
blocked the way of salvation.
We should
be aware that each, who instead of the God of the Bible, worships a God
invented by people, commits idolatry. So also commits everyone idolatry who
celebrates the invented feasts by people; and not the feasts of the Lord.
The true
church of Jesus Christ has become very small; as a Roman Emperor invented a
Christian state religion. Since that time the prophets of Christ become
persecuted vehemently; and also with force brought silenced. That has not
changed to this day. The difference to antiquity is, that the prophets today no
longer killed, but be declared unsound mind.
But Jesus
Christ has told us, that everyone who proclaimed the gospel in his name, will
tracked. He spoke in Luke 21:12-19: "But before all this, they will
lay hands on you and persecute you. They will deliver you to synagogues and prisons, and you will be brought
before kings and governors, and all on account of my name. This will result in your being witnesses to them. But
make up your mind not to worry beforehand how you will defend yourselves. For I
will give you words and wisdom that none of your adversaries will be able to
resist or contradict. You will be
betrayed even by parents, brothers, relatives and friends, and they will put some of you to death. All men will hate you because of me. But not a hair of your head
will perish. By standing firm you will gain life."
Solely on
the basis of this statement, one can already see who is a true prophet of
Christ. But you should check each belonged word, using the Bible. As far as I
know, none of the modern Christian preachers, must be afraid, that him even
just one of this Things happens which Jesus announced in Luke 21:12-19.
For a
change, I do not want to end my contribution with a psalm today. Instead, with
the Epistle to Laodicea. In fact I believe, that most of those who today call
themselves Christian, would receive exactly this message of Jesus Christ. But that
is not as a reproach, but that you rather to ponder about the word of God.
Because I know, that no one is without sin and no one is infallible.
And to the angel of the church in Laodicea
write: The words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the origin of
God’s creation: “I know your works; you are neither cold nor hot. I wish that
you were either cold or hot. So, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor
hot, I am about to spit you out of my mouth. For you say, ‘I am rich, I have
prospered, and I need nothing.’ You do not realize that you are wretched,
pitiable, poor, blind, and naked. Therefore I counsel you to buy from me gold
refined by fire so that you may be rich; and white robes to clothe you and to
keep the shame of your nakedness from being seen; and salve to anoint your eyes
so that you may see. I reprove and discipline those whom I love. Be earnest, therefore,
and repent. Listen! I am standing at the door, knocking; if you hear my voice
and open the door, I will come in to you and eat with you, and you with me. To
the one who conquers I will give a place with me on my throne, just as myself
conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne. Let anyone who has an ear
listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches.” Amen (Revelation 3, 14 – 22)
