AN EXPLANATION OF THE WORKS OF DECEIVERS
AMONG
THOSE FALSELY CONFESSING CHRIST.
It can be seen in Jesus' command to his
followers that knowledge and direction is needed concerning holy matters before
one can administer them correctly. (See Prov 1:1-5). For in Matthew 7:6
we are warned: "Do not give what is holy to dogs, neither throw your
pearls before swine, that they may never trample them under their feet and turn
around and rip you open."
Christ figuratively compared certain types of
people to certain animals, and in Revelation 22:15 he speaks in greater detail
of people that are outside the Kingdom arrangements of God for life in the
"new earth" under the "new heaven" by His Christ.
(Rev 21:1-4. 2 Peter 3:13).
Many people in the civilized world claim to be
Christians while engaging in unGodly activities. But according to the Word of
God they have placed themselves outside of His provisions. Those truly
practicing righteousness do so according to skilful direction and accurate
knowledge among God's chosen ones. (Prov 1:5).
Further, many
"dog"-like ones confessing Christ as already come in the flesh
mislead others as to the real reason why he came, even pushing ahead of
The Christ's teachings. These
are sects and so will not inherit God's Kingdom. (Gal 5:19 21).
Those teaching the "deep things of satan" are well known to God.
(Rev 2:24). Consequently, anointed followers of The Christ have the work of
"overturning reasonings and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge
of God; and we are bringing every thought into captivity to make it obedient to
the Christ" in order to save others from them, snatching "out of
the fire" those not teaching the "deep things of satan".
(Jude V.22,23) (2 Cor 10:5).
THE SECOND BOOK OF JOHN. (V.1-13).
Whether to an individual
"chosen lady" or to a congregation of that time, the apostle John's
letter is a warning. As God Himself is an impartial God, this is an inspired
warning to all The Christ's followers. (1 Peter 1:17). It warns that Christians
could be led away from God by apostate deceivers.
Surely the
greatest deception is for
the
sect falsely calling themselves Jehovah's Witnesses* to denounce "dogs" outside the
Kingdom of God while falsely claiming to be of the "Israel" of God themselves.
These denunciations from God
are upon those that have apostatized themselves and abandoned spiritual "Israel".
God-given
disciplines addressed to them* they have applied to the "dogs"
outside, even denunciations meant for them.
God given disciplines are intended to
spiritually cleanse a person for their return to God.
(Heb 12:5-11).
1 CORINTHIANS CHAPTER 11:1-16.
This passage of scripture
gives The Christ's instructions through Paul the "apostle to the nations"
concerning the congregational arrangement for men and women. (Rom 11:13).
But sadly, sectarian religions today allow women to voice their
opinions and teachings unrestrainedly in congregations of men and women. Such apostasy has very
serious consequences, as it is a profanation against God. It indicates a
spiritually shameful condition, for a woman that refuses man's God-given
authority while attending a congregation must suffer the consequences of her
disobedience: Her hair must be shorn. As for persistent insubordination,
she must be shaved of her hair, to make public to the congregation that she
chooses to attend the congregation while refusing to be subjected to man's
authority. The glory of her hair is removed (her headdress) while she is no
longer man's glory but behaving as a man. "And cursed is the one acting
cunningly when there exists in his drove a male animal, and
he is making a vow and sacrificing a ruined one to
Jehovah." (Mal 1:14 & 2:2. Rev
2:20-23). An obedient woman can pray, but must do so silently with a
headcovering upon her head in symbol of her subjection to the headship
arrangement. Praying and reverence is to God not men. (1 Tim 2:10-14).
