"Career Christians" ignore these Scriptures

by BoogerMan in

the apostle paul instructed christians regarding work and providing for oneself.

his bible standards and instructions are completely dismissed by everyone who's jumped on the christianity gravy-train:.

(acts 18:3) "and on account of being of the same trade he stayed at their home, and they worked, for they were tent makers by trade.

2 Thessalonians 3:6-15

According to the scriptures, the CO arrangement, the "special full time servant" arrangement, the entire Bethel commune arrangement is an abomination.

"Now we are giving you instructions, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to withdraw from every brother who is walking disorderly and not according to the tradition that you received from us. For you yourselves know how you should imitate us, because we did not behave in a disorderly way among you, nor did we eat anyone’s food free. On the contrary, by labor and toil we were working night and day so as not to impose an expensive burden on any one of you. Not that we do not have authority, but we wanted to offer ourselves as an example for you to imitate."

God's Word says to "withdraw from every brother" who doesn't work to pay for his own ministry efforts.

"In fact, when we were with you, we used to give you this order: “If anyone does not want to work, neither let him eat.” For we hear that some are walking disorderly among you, not working at all, but meddling with what does not concern them. To such people we give the order and exhortation in the Lord Jesus Christ that they should work quietly and eat food they themselves earn. For your part, brothers, do not give up in doing good. But if anyone is not obedient to our word through this letter, keep this one marked and stop associating with him, so that he may become ashamed. And yet do not consider him an enemy, but continue admonishing him as a brother."

The scriptures say to "stop associating" with any person who wants to have their ministry supported by voluntary donations, and also that those same ones keep meddling with things that don't concern them (like make rules up about "no-beards" and counting time and banning people and other such foolishness.)

That's why when the attack on religious institutions begins, God is not going to "protect" the Bethel arrangement. The Bethel arrangement is an antichrist arrangement, just like all the other "paid clergy" arrangements in the rest of Christendom.

"the other sheep will feed the other sheep"

interesting statement in this video...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zchsc1wedns.

The WTBTS org will not die slowly. It will be cut off quickly because it is part of the organization in this scripture...

"And a strong angel lifted up a stone like a great millstone and hurled it into the sea, saying: “Thus with a swift pitch will Babylon the great city be hurled down, and she will never be found again.""

It'll be about 5 months for the governments to take it all down, the false religious institutions.

"And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God and where they would feed her for 1,260 days."

"But the two wings of the great eagle were given to the woman, so that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is to be fed for a time and times and half a time away from the face of the serpent."

Revelation 12:5,14 shows that it's not "the other sheep" who feed anybody. The religious institutions will be destroyed. Jehovah God and Christ Jesus themselves will make sure we have what we need to survive that time.

Ezekiel 34

""I myself will feed my sheep," declares Jehovah."

"I will raise up one shepherd over them, my servant David, and he will feed them. He himself will feed them and become their shepherd.""

Listening to Johnny Cash read/sing that song reminded me of these verses😊:

Revelation 1:3

"Happy is the one who reads aloud and those who hear the words of this prophecy and who observe the things written in it, for the appointed time is near."

Revelation 22:6,7

"He said to me: “These words are faithful and true; yes, Jehovah, the God who inspired the prophets, has sent his angel to show his slaves the things that must shortly take place. Look! I am coming quickly. Happy is anyone observing the words of the prophecy of this scroll.”"

The Messianic Prophecies and Their Fulfillment in Jesus

by aqwsed12345 in

the belief in the messiah, which has lived in the collective consciousness of humanity since ancient times, became completely obscured among the gentiles, and only remained with the jewish people, who were later chosen by god, as the prophecies of the prophets kept it alive.

there was only one great promise in the old testament from god, which awaited fulfillment!

only one great desire was there in the old testament on the part of man, longing for satisfaction.

EasyPrompt

I did like that one too, and while there were a few parts I don't agree with completely, it is clear Jesus fulfilled all the prophecies written in God's Word about the Messiah.

Many of the warnings Jesus gave to the first century Pharisees also are valid for us today, such as the warnings against leaven-type teachings and lording it over the flock. Here was another good point aqwsed12345 brought out that is also important for us today:

"The Pharisees and scribes considered themselves perfect; Jesus lovingly but openly exposed their sins."

All the sects of Christendom tend to fall into this trap. At times the clergy leaders act as if they are infallible and anyone who does not bend the knee to their teachings is figuratively "executed". The Pope is not infallible. The GB/FDS is not infallible. No anointed/born-again Christians are infallible, as is seen in the Bible accounts about Peter and Paul and others after they were anointed/born-again. They made mistakes sometimes. We do too.

There is no perfect, sinless human on earth today. We are all in need of forgiveness and mercy, as brought out at 1 John 2:1,2...

"My little children, I am writing you these things so that you may not commit a sin. And yet, if anyone does commit a sin, we have a helper with the Father, Jesus Christ, a righteous one. And he is a propitiatory sacrifice for our sins, yet not for ours only but also for the whole world’s."

"...the great tribulation. I might just be able to survive..."

@Vidqun, whether you have to take a nap or not, you will "survive" because of having love and strong faith 💖🙂🫶💞

Revelation 14:9-11

"Another angel, a third, followed them, saying in a loud voice: “If anyone worships the wild beast and its image and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, he will also drink of the wine of the anger of God that is poured out undiluted into the cup of His wrath, and he will be tormented with fire and sulfur in the sight of the holy angels and in the sight of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever, and day and night they have no rest, those who worship the wild beast and its image and whoever receives the mark of its name."

The mark of the beast means bowing to the UN ahead of God. Those who obey men as ruler rather than God will not survive.

The mark on the forehead of those who will survive means putting God's ways first. Those who obey God as ruler rather than men will survive. (Whether they are resurrected later or live through it.)

Revelation 14:12

"Here is where it calls for endurance on the part of the holy ones, those who keep the commandments of God and hold fast to the faith of Jesus.”

Satan got a lot of people to do "an act of worship to him" in the religious institutions when he got people to bow to men ahead of God, to bow to a clergy class or a false doctrine ahead of God. The Bible shows some of those ones will repent during the tribulation. After the religious institutions are destroyed, many Christians will be tempted to put their trust in the UN instead of God's kingdom. Satan will again tempt people to bow to him, to do an act of worship to him. True Christians will never bow down to that fraud.

Matthew 4:8-10

"Again the Devil took him along to an unusually high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. And he said to him: “All these things I will give you if you fall down and do an act of worship to me.” Then Jesus said to him: “Go away, Satan! For it is written: ‘It is Jehovah your God you must worship, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service.’”

Hebrews 8:5,6

"These men are offering sacred service in a typical representation and a shadow of the heavenly things; just as Moses, when about to construct the tent, was given the divine command: For He says: “See that you make all things after their pattern that was shown to you in the mountain.” But now Jesus has obtained a more excellent ministry because he is also the mediator of a correspondingly better covenant, which has been legally established on better promises."

The altar stands for God's will.

The bowls are used to transfer what is God's will into action.

Exodus 24:5,6

"After that he sent young Israelite men, and they offered up burnt offerings and sacrificed bulls as communion sacrifices to Jehovah. Then Moses took half of the blood and put it in bowls, and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar."

In Revelation, the bowls of God's anger are representative of pouring out God's will for the religious institutions (Babylon the Great) and the governments in opposition to God (UN and associated nations).

Exodus 19:16-19

"On the morning of the third day, there was thunder and lightning, and there was a heavy cloud on the mountain and a very loud sound of a horn, and all the people in the camp began to tremble. Moses now brought the people out of the camp to meet the true God, and they took their place at the base of the mountain. Mount Siʹnai smoked all over, because Jehovah came down upon it in fire; and its smoke was rising like the smoke of a kiln, and the whole mountain was trembling violently. As the sound of the horn grew louder and louder, Moses spoke, and the voice of the true God answered him."

The sound of the horn or trumpet meant Jehovah was coming.

The trumpets in Revelation are symbolic of Jehovah's coming judgments on religious institutions (Babylon the Great) and the governments in opposition to God (UN and associated nations).

The plagues in Egypt were symbolic of God's adverse judgment on the religious and governmental institutions of Egypt. The plagues on Baal in Elijah's day were symbolic of God's adverse judgement on false religious institutions and those associated with them.

The plagues in Revelation are also God's judgments against the religious institutions (Babylon the Great) and the governments in opposition to God (UN and associated nations).

The visions of Revelation are not presented sequentially. They overlap and repeat and give details in slightly different perspectives.

When Jesus is enthroned in heaven, he is the one that will take the lead in executing God's will on earth. He is the one who directs the trumpets/plagues/pouring out of bowls. When Jesus takes the throne in heaven, he will begin his furious ride to accomplish God's will.

Zephaniah 1:14

"The great day of Jehovah is near!

It is near and it is approaching very quickly!"

Very soon, Babylon the Great will be as devastated as the empty church in this video...

And 3 1/2 years after that, all opposers of the God of Love will be removed - those who prefer the rule of the UN and God's chief enemy to the rule of God's king Jesus.

Habakkuk 2:2,3

"Jehovah then answered me:

“Write down the vision, and inscribe it clearly on tablets,

So that the one reading aloud from it may do so easily.

For the vision is yet for its appointed time,

And it is rushing toward its end, and it will not lie.

Even if it should delay, keep in expectation of it!

For it will without fail come true.

It will not be late!""
