Pitfalls of Faith!

Roots of Bitterness?

None of us is exempt from falling from grace, hurt and disasters come and they will tear us down and lead to the tears of the heart, but we are warned not to let the bitterness of of it get a root on to us and if so we will loose our Salvation!

God does not give up on us, but it is rather we who do that for many reasons from comfort to dishonesty, that we think we are fine, when we are not?

The Holy Bible has much to tell us in relation to not being complacent and how to get back on track with our personal Savior the Lord Jesus!

Proverbs 14:10, Luke 8:13, Romans 11:16-18, 1 Timothy 6:10, Hebrews 12:15.

The book of Revelation?

A mirror to the soul re-exploitation!

Replacement theology has lead many believers to discount the teaching of the book of Revelation as having no practical application in our modern world, but sometimes it is referred too in relation to End time events and the return of our Lord Jesus?

Otherwise the key elements of the salvation of Israel and the underlying secret slavery in society is avoided, it is a mirror of guilt in relation to service, servitude and cheap workers for clothing, medical care and a under payed work force and former imperial slavery and the lack of compensations to the survivors?

God is the only one who really knows our hearts, we may be serving Him in good faith, while hiding the secrets of prostitution, dishonesty, tax evasion and corruption, secret societies and much more!

John 9:41, Titus 3:3, Hebrews 4:13-14, 2 Peter 2:19, Revelation 7:1-8, 18:13.

Transgender Issues?

Testosterone!

What makes men and woman different is now the challenge that woman have to face with men who think or feel feminine and want to share the toilet, and also the sports field despite having more energy than females?

We are living in disturbing times, wither we call it apostate or something other it is not good for believers to accept sin and excuse it as something other?

In times past the Church and its institutions did cover up serious financial fraud and use other methods to hide its dishonesty!

But now we are living in an age were many people are vulnerable to sexual assault and rape and latest police figures suggest that much crime is either not being recorded or reported!

If we claim a faith in Jesus then we only have the Bible to live by and the conditions set by God, He who will have the last word at the end to the accountability for sin and our failures! We cannot excuse ourselves as many do today, believing that ‘Once they are saved they can live as they wish?

Romans 1:18-28,   Psalm 81:12,   Hosea 4:18,   Ephesians 4:18,   2 Thessalonians 2:10-12,   Revelation 22:14-15.

The book of Revelation! One.

Why no longer Popular?

Over the last forty years it seems that the book of Revelation is not as popular as it was say in the 1950’s?

One reason may be that it is difficult to understand or it is not relevant to the problems in the modern age?

The other reason is perhaps it warns those of us who claim a faith in God, but live in rebellious sin? Revelation does tell us the fate of liars, those doing dishonest gain and living in effeminate lifestyles!

1 Corinthians 6:9-10,   Ephesians 5:3-6,   Revelation 9:20-21,  21:8,   27,    22:14-15.

Jesus’ Return! Two.

The falling Away?

There are many different ideas in relation to the interpretation of the book of Revelation and much of it has to do with the influences of replacement theology, if believers would see Israel’s role in this then perhaps we would have some clarity?

But this will not happen with these influences and so we can only gain a limited picture of some of the essential truths, such as the great falling away of believers from the truth!

We are living in these times now, where the doctrine of love has been manipulated to run contradictory to the word of God! It is justifying lust, sexual immorality, dishonesty and the breakdown of the family!

It has been a gradual process taking place in the western-Church over the last one-hundred and fifty years, but what has come to the fore in the last seventy years is the growing hostility based on mans ideas of equality in relation to Israel.

Jeremiah 2:13,   2 Thessalonians 2:3,  1 Corinthians 6:9,  1 Timothy 4:1-3,   2 Timothy 3:1-3,   4:3-4.  John 17:12,
