INDEX To THEMES FOR THE WEEK (Weekly Index for easy reference)


December 21, 2011
1. Who Are The BUILDERS That Reject “The Head Of The Corner”, Jesus Christ?
A. The Word of God has repeatedly prophesied that there would be “builders” that would reject God's delegated authority the Messiah/Jesus Christ.
Mat 21:42 Jesus saith unto them , Did ye never read in the scriptures , The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes? Mar 12:10 And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner: Luk 20:17 And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner?
and,
Act 4:11 This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.
1Pe 2:6 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.
1Pe 2:7 Unto you therefore which believe [he is] precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,

B. Jesus and the apostles are quoting in the above texts from the Psalms.
Psa 118:22 The stone [which] the builders refused is become the head [stone] of the corner.

C. These texts also declare that the same rejected “Head of the Corner” shall become the very Cornerstone—the Head of the Corner. Consider the paradox. What the Builders reject is God's choice. What the Builders reject and resist is that which shall overcome them and become the very thing they sought to defeat and replace.

D. We observe through these texts and others that it was the religious system that rejected God, His Son and His will. They were promoting a rebellious religion of man. It contained leaders and followers and all the emblements as in buildings and mythos.*
*[EMBLEMENTS: 1. annual crops and vegetable products cultivated by man's labour. 2. the profits from such crops;
MYTHOS: 1. the underlying system of beliefs, especially those dealing with supernatural forces, characteristic of a particular cultural group.]
Note: These two words were prompted to me as I was writing this.

E. These “builders” sought their own will. They created religious institution(s) they imagined in their minds. Their hearts had been corrupted and drove them to build with their hands false religious systems that denied God and His Son.

F. The builders refused to believe. I have written in previous times about this. To obey is to believe. To believe is to be declared righteous by God as our example of Abraham, who believed God and was accounted righteous.
Gal 3:6 Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.
1Pe 2:8 And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, [even to them] which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.

G. The builders are builders of unbelief and rebellion.

H. They serve the works of their own hands. 3 texts: Jer 1:16; Jet 25:14; Ac 7:41. Worshiping the works of their hands...

I. They use God but will not serve God. They use God as a means for their own deceitful desires, money, fame and secret illicit pleasure behind closed doors. (The 3 “G's”; gold, girls and the glory) 1Jn 2:16

J. The builders of this kind follow the example of their father Satan the devil. He too was a liar, murder and thief who wanted to be above God.

K. Today, there are many who build many things. Both secular and in the “spiritual” world of religion, there are builders building things that God has not ordained. These are the “builders” that reject the Head of the Corner.

L. But woe, woe woe. Everyone who will not bow the knee to Jesus by falling upon the Rock, shall have this Rock fall upon them and grind them to powder. This is the declaration of the Lord Jesus Christ Himself.
Mat 21:44 And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.

M. There are builders building the kingdom of Satan. They build many things in many ways, sizes and shapes for various purposes. The bottom-line is that they build in the spirit of Babylon that seeks to exalt itself into the heavens. They do not sanctify the LORD but rather mix various gods, spirits, and doctrines of demons in a sinful manner of the flesh.

N. There are ancient cult groups that are known today as secret societies. They have banded together in their rebellion to create what the scriptures calls the BEAST. They love their works and gleefully sin against the LORD. Their god is Satan. They call him Lucifer, the light-bearer, or illuminating god. They also believe that their illumination comes by way of the eaten fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil making them superior great ones. Indeed, there is a satanic illumination for those who have chosen this mode of sorcery and magical imagination.

O. The Greek religion glorified the fall of Adam and Eve. Their goddesses magnified the illuminated Eve after she “saw” by way of the serpent's illumination. Zeus, with his lightning rods, depict the illumination that comes from the 'god-maker' Satan. The Greek religion despised the sons of Noah. They despised the God of Gods, the LORD, the lover and compassionate Father who promised eternal life before the fall. One of their gods Atlas pushes away the heavens from the earth in mocking and impugning the Creator.

P. So, today we have religious “builders” who as the ancient Pharisees, scribes, elders and Sadducees, do not love God as proven by the fact that they do not receive the One sent by God. Jn 5:42-43 They do not have the Word of God abiding in them, and thus do not know what God is indeed saying. Jn 5:38 The sound of the voice of the LORD is to them a strange sound. They hear the words but they do not register in their cognitive mind. This is what Jesus said. They could hear the sound of Jesus speech (latria), but could not understand His Word (logos-concept). Jn 8:43

Q. The danger for the religious builders of rebellion is that they become the enemies of God. They will end up crucifying the messenger of God as they did all the prophets, even the Messiah, and His followers throughout history. This is the cup that all true believers in Jesus must drink. It is the will of God to suffer as our Lord Jesus has also suffered. We are to walk in His steps through His grace. 1Peter 2:21

R. As well, there are the secret society natural carnal men who are builders of the Satanic Beast System. They build structures, systems and esoteric belief systems that are Babylonian, Greek and Roman. Everything they do and think is on this foundational stone of idolatry, rebellion and devilish thinking and desire.

S. The Word of God declares that these “builders” will band together under their head Satan, the devil, the Dragon, and will literally seek to make war against God and the Lamb. Revelation 19:19 and Psalms 2

T. “T” for today---I call you to be careful what you are building. What are you building? Are you building as led by the Spirit of God? Are you building in obedience of faith? Or are you as the rebels who go about worshiping and serving the works of their own hands?
Faith comes by hearing, and by hearing by the Word of God. Romans 10:17 You must hear the Word of God to obey. The religious world and the rebels of the world refuse to hear Him that speaks from Heaven. Hebrews 12:25

U. “U” for you should consider the admonition of apostle Paul in this regard and consider it carefully.
1Cr 3:9 For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, [ye are] God's building.
1Cr 3:10 According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.
1Cr 3:11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 1Cr 3:12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
1Cr 3:13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.
1Cr 3:14 If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
1Cr 3:15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. 1Cr 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and [that] the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
1Cr 3:17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which [temple] ye are. 1Cr 3:18 ¶ Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. 1Cr 3:19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
1Cr 3:20 And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain. 1Cr 3:21 Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours; 1Cr 3:22 Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours; 1Cr 3:23 And ye are Christ's; and Christ [is] God's.

2. God Does Not Fit In The Imagination Of Man. The Heavens Can Not Contain God!
A. The revelation that God has given regarding Himself is that the heavens cannot contain Him for He is so vast!
1Ki 8:27 But will God indeed dwell on the earth? behold, the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house that I have builded?
2Ch 2:6 But who is able to build him an house, seeing the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain him? who [am] I then, that I should build him an house, save only to burn sacrifice before him?

B. God is so magnificent and beyond our natural comprehension. This is why God has told us we cannot see Him lest we die. He Hides His power yet is known by the things He has created. Exodus 33:20; Habakkuk 3:4; Romans 1:20

C. God is infinite. Infinite love, infinite knowledge, infinite power and so infinitely infinite! The angels in heaven constantly declare, “Holy, Holy, Holy is the LORD God Almighty, which was, as is, and is to come”! Rev 4:8

D. Jesus told the religious leaders that they did not know His Father. Jesus said that they had never heard His voice nor seen His shape. Obviously in the scriptures there are visions of God, but none of the visions are the full representation of God Himself. However, God the Father is revealed in His Son who is the very image and stamped representation of His character. If you have seen Jesus you have seen, as were, the Father. Yet, the religious system, the builders of rebellion, conspired to murder this Jesus and executed their plans with the political power of Rome—Caesar.
Hbr 1:3 Who being the brightness of [his] glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
Jhn 5:37 And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape. Jhn 5:38 And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not. Jhn 5:42 But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you. Jhn 5:43 I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.

E. God has commanded man to abstain from idols. We are not to make images of God. This is to lower God and is an insult to His supreme magnificent glory. Therefore, now we understand why we should be careful to limit God by our limited knowledge and understanding. We understand that God being so infinite and limitless we should desire to give Him the glory due His name and not insult Him by our imaginations, our works of our own hands, nor creating images of Him whether physical, spiritual or imaginary. (note the word imaginary and its use of “image”)

F. Consider that the heavens are God's throne! Take a look and open your eyes, look above and realize, that those heavens are the throne of God and yet cannot contain His Person. Isa 66:1 ¶ Thus saith the LORD, The heaven [is] my throne, and the earth [is] my footstool: where [is] the house that ye build unto me? and where [is] the place of my rest? Act 7:49 Heaven [is] my throne, and earth [is] my footstool: what house will ye build me? saith the Lord: or what [is] the place of my rest?

G. This mediation on the vast limitless and greatness of God should serve many things for us. It shows us that we must respect God. We can see why we should be at peace and trust Him. He is limitless. His nature is loving, kind, slow to anger and of great mercies. He provides for the birds to eat. He clothes even the little flowers with more glory than King Solomon. Shall not this great God the Father also give us the things He knows we need? Since He gave His only begotten Son Jesus, to die for our sins so we would not perish, but have eternal life, shall He not also give us freely the things we need? Yes, absolutely yes. God is so good and faithful.
We should also beware of limiting God. We must take care not to create false images of Him in our mind, or even in physical representations. We should want to be careful not to offend our God, who made us, and not we ourselves.
Psa 100:3 Know ye that the LORD he [is] God: [it is] he [that] hath made us, and not we ourselves; [we are] his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Psa 95:7 For he [is] our God; and we [are] the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his truned backhand...Psalms 78:41 They turned back, tempted God, and "limited" the Holy One of Israel.

H. We can observe how the “builders” of religion disobey God and make their images. They disobey God and make their own creations. They disobey God, being ignorant of God, and become base men of depravity of wicked devices and abominations. God calls them, “brute beasts”.
2Pe 2:12 But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption; Jud 1:10 But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.

3. The “Testimony” Of Jesus. What Is It?
A. The “testimony” of Jesus, scripturally, is that which Jesus is declaring in His authoritative office.
"Testimony of Jesus used four times. Rev 1:2, 1:9, Rev 12:17, 19:10. Rev 1:2 Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.

B. The above texts states that the record of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ...and of all things that He saw.

C. Rev 1:1 ¶ The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified [it] by his angel unto his servant John:

D. The Father gave Jesus a revelation. Jesus “signified” and sent that revelation, the things that He saw, by an angel. Angels are messengers. The angel then ministered to apostle John the testimony of Jesus.

E. Greek Lexicon regarding Revelation 1:2 the word "testimony". Martyria 1) a testifying a) the office committed to the prophets of testifying concerning future events 2) what one testifies, testimony, i.e. before a judge

F. What I intend to convey here is that the testimony of Jesus is what He is saying, declaring and revealing. It is the Word of God through Jesus.

G. Sadly, not all professing Christians have the testimony of Jesus. They do not know what He is saying. Often, too often, they do not care. Even worse, besides not knowing the testimony of Jesus, not caring what it is, but there are those who resist and oppose the testimony of Jesus as did the religious rebels in times past.

H. However, there will be true saints in the last days who have this testimony of Jesus and keep the commandments of God.
Rev 12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
(The commandments of God are those He is speaking to us through His Son. Jesus is our Lawgiver. He is not dead like Moses. He speaks today to His flock. His commands are also written in what is called the New Testament. He has called us to love the LORD our God and to love our neighbor as ourselves. Moses was replaced as the Lawgiver by Jesus as Moses and the Father declared in Dt. 18. Hebrews 7 also speaks in this regard. If we love Jesus then we will keep His commandments.)

I. Note the testimony of Apostle John in this matter: Rev 1:9 ¶ I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.

J. John our brother in Christ, stood for the Word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ---what God the Father had revealed to Him. This was an important vital message that God used John to scribe in the book of Revelation. It is the Word of God.

K. But note the tribulation, and trouble that comes due to the Word of God ladies and gentlemen. Note John's words that he was a companion in tribulation. He had the endurance necessary to pursue forward into the Kingdom of God. This is a battle. This is a war over the true words of God.

L. Seek the Lord. Seek His face. Hear His voice. Eat of His Words. Find the precious true words of the LORD that are indeed the testimony of Jesus.

M. Forsake the religious fads and buzz words that are not of God. Run to the Lord who is the true living Word of God.

4. You Have Been Already Warned Regarding The Snare Coming Upon the Earth.
A. Jhn 14:29 And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe

B. Jhn 16:1 ¶ These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended. Jhn 16:2 They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service. Jhn 16:3 And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me. Jhn 16:4 But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you.

C. Luk 21:34 ¶ And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and [so] that day come upon you unawares. Luk 21:35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. Luk 21:36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

5. Spelling It Out.
A.. It is hard for people to accept that it will come to pass that “true Christians will be persecuted by the government.”

B. It is equally hard for people to accept that it will come to pass that “true Christians will be beaten in religious centers” termed “synagogues “ by Jesus. (Synagogues are the buildings that religious Jews met in similar fashion as the custom of religious Christians meet in “church” buildings today.

C. Spelling it out, because corrupt lying governmental leaders hate the truth or being exposed, they will use every device to eliminate such threat.

D. The reason such persecution will take place is because evil people hate the light. They hate exposure. They will not do right and they will not repent for the most part of their evil deeds. Therefore, they will persecute true Christians. They will take some of you into custody. They will beat some of you in the religious environment centers (“synagogues” or “churches”). And, some of you they will kill.
Link:An article I wrote February 2, 2005 about the persecution that is coming yet the people are not prepared! Betrayal by closest associations. Taken into custody. Put in prison. Stand before governors, kings and authorities to speak for God. Beaten in synagogues. * (Synagogues are the meeting place for God’s people in Jesus’ day) I will comment on how this will happen in the United States later. Persecuted Hated Executed
E. Now it is evident that the laws are being changed to facilitate harming people that have done nothing wrong other than to be a light that exposes darkness. Even “free speech” will become illegal when it comes to rebuking criminal and unlawful acts of the powers-that-be. Criticism of immorality will have a penalty for those willing to tell the truth.

F. Understand that people of religion and Churchianity have their zeal and fervor based in the flesh—religious flesh, and not Jesus Himself.

G. People that have their allegiance and alliance with men of institutional Christianity, for example, find themselves at odds with the Head of the Church Jesus Christ. Our allegiance of faithfulness is to Jesus Himself; not to an institution, not to a church , not to a “pastor” or teacher. It was Jesus who came to take away our sins by bearing in His own body our sins. It is through Jesus that we have redemption by faith in His shed blood at the cross.

H. “H” for hellish scene: I can perceive in the LORD this scene which is a fulfillment of the words of Jesus how the religious system will literally beat true faithful disciples of Christ in their religious centers. Consider the Lord sending His proclaimers into the religious churches as God the Father sent Jeremiah among the worshipers at the temple. The true servants of the Lord come with the word of the Lord to call the people to repentance and sincere faith in Jesus. They come with the unction from the Lord to declare the truth what is really going on in the world from God's perspective. That message is unwanted for the most part! It will not be received as usual when God sends His servant-disciples. In a day that there is great catastrophe, fear, hunger, with the world under judgment, the religious world under judgment, people losing their homes, jobs, and personal effects, a time of every man for himself. It will be, “Pan Demonium!” There will be Peace in Christ; pandemonium without.
PANDEMONIUM: Dictionary---1. wild uproar or unrestrained disorder; tumult or chaos. 2. a place or scene of riotous uproar or utter chaos. 3. ( often initial capital letter ) the abode of all the demons. 4. hell. Synonyms 1, 2. bedlam, turmoil, babel.

I. An atmosphere of upheaval--(Civil distress, sedition, division, uprising, deception, betrayal, hunger, fear, callous hearts, deceivers and the deceived being deceived)
A picture of inside the Apostate Church-World Churches: I can see a person in their fleshly emotions responding to the truth of rebuke, exhortation or admonition by striking or kicking the messenger. I can see the people joining in and letting out their frustration, anger and hopelessness as their worldly passions are dashed in pieces in the last days.

J. These will be days that are unprecedented. These are days unlike any days before. And, truly, there have been days of great hardship and even destruction in times past as we recall Noah's flood, the demise of the original Babylon, and the judgment of God upon Israel and Judah the apostate people of God whom God displaced from the land of Israel.

K. They will beat you in the religious centers ladies and gentlemen. That is, if you are a true follower of Jesus. If you are truly speaking the truth and refusing the lies of the day. Truth will be illegal, resisted and opposed to the point of death.

L. It will truly come to pass just as Jesus has said it would. If you have the grace of God to perceive correctly, you can see that we are in the times of the apostasy. We are in times of great deception with the religious pedestal leaders misleading the multitudes away from the simple path in Jesus Christ. They are leading the way to antichrist; not Jesus Christ.
Jer 7:28 ¶ But thou shalt say unto them, This [is] a nation that obeyeth not the voice of the LORD their God, nor receiveth correction: truth is perished, and is cut off from their mouth.

M. Truth has perished as in the days of Jeremiah. The word of the LORD is not cherished nor desired.
Jer 6:10 ¶ To whom shall I speak, and give warning, that they may hear? behold, their ear [is] uncircumcised, and they cannot hearken: behold, the word of the LORD is unto them a reproach; they have no delight in it.

N. God's faithful remnant shall suffer at the hands of the religious and the rebelling governments of the world just as Jesus did. So too, as the apostles and other servants of Christ suffered at the foundation of the true Church of Jesus shall the faithful in Christ in the last days suffer.

O. This is why we must understand these things and be prepared in every way—emotionally, spiritually, mentally, and physically. Through the Lord, we can go through these things and literally be used by the Lord in a great way that will be rewarded in the eternity of the Kingdom of God. Jesus has told us that we that are true to Him shall be called upon to give testimony to the Kings and rulers of this world. We shall give testimony and rebuke to the religious leaders that merged in their rebellion against the LORD as well. The very Spirit of God, the Spirit of the Father, shall give those anointed servants of Christ the words of God to speak in that hour. Matthew 10:17-22 Know this, that the times is at hand. It is now time, to awake from sleep, for our time of salvation is nearer that we believed. Romans 13:11

6. Why John The Baptist Lost His Head.
A. Mat 11:11 Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

B. John the baptist loses his head for speaking the truth to the governmental leader Herod: Matthew 14:6-12 6But when Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodotus danced before them, and pleased Herod. 7Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she would ask. 8And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me here John Baptist's head in a charger. 9And the king was sorry: nevertheless for the oath's sake, and them which sat with him at meat, he commanded it to be given her. 10And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison. 11And his head was brought in a charger, and given to the damsel: and she brought it to her mother. 12And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it, and went and told Jesus.

7. What Used To Be “OK” Is Not OK Now! Grow Up In Christ.
A. It is important to realize that the Lord is expecting His people to grow up in Christ.

B. We are to put a way the childish things and put on Christ.
1Cr 13:11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

C. Recently, I heard a professing Christian man who had taught in Christian circles since at least the 1970's. He was an aged man and had invented various forms of psychological teaching on personalities. It was his own thought; not God's thought. But this teaching on personality styles and categories is now largely influencing the Christian world as authoritative.

D. I contend that this is a false science. We may all have our own observations of dealing with people but our observations, opinions and even judgments are not necessarily true and certainly not on the par of scripture.

E. Another thing I observed was this seeming sincere man name dropping the big name ministries as though they were good truthful men of God when I know quite the contrary based on careful review. (Many of the men I have written about previously as examples of heretical apostate teachers in our day were the same men that this man was honoring)

F. I am saying here that this man was endorsing celebrity religious “ministers” as men of God when these so called “ministers” actually deny the gospel of Jesus, and preach other gospels. How can this be?

G. It goes to show you that in previous decades the religious culture was very naive and trusting. Now in these last days it is becoming more pronounced that there are deceivers among the Christian world deceiving the masses with teachings that deny Jesus and His words.

H. It is not “OK” to be ignorant. It is not OK to be without maturity in Christ. Our very lives, eternal lives at that, are at stake.
Eph 4:15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, [even] Christ:

I. I find it so grieving that the ministry has become such a “good ole boys” club that whitewashes evil and falsehood in the name of God. I find it so contemptible that spiritual matters became a business. It is an offense to the LORD.

J. God at times past winked at man's ignorance but now commands all men everywhere to repent. It is time to fear the LORD. It is time to stop honoring man and to honor God. Jesus Himself would never receive honor from man. He would only receive honor from His Father. This is our example. Watch out for those who are city-slick speakers spewing sensational salacious sayings in honor of men.
Jhn 5:41 I receive not honour from men.
Jhn 5:44 How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that [cometh] from God only?

8. What Is It To Condemn Someone? What It Is Not.
A. Mat 7:1 ¶ Judge not, that ye be not judged.

B. Luk 6:37 ¶ Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:

C. 1Th 5:21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.

D. 1Jo 4:1 ¶ Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
E. “E” for explain. Clearly, through Jesus' teaching, He will not contradict but if we examine carefully what He is saying we will understand He is teaching us in this regard of “judging”, condemning and trying.

F. When Jesus said in Mt 7:1 not to “judge” it had the meaning of finalizing as in a summons before a court for accusations of wrong doing.
Lexicon: "Judge" Krino--Jn 7:1 4) to determine, resolve, decree 5) to judge a) to pronounce an opinion concerning right and wrong 1) to be judged, i.e. summoned to trial that one's case may be examined and judgment passed upon it b) to pronounce judgment, to subject to censure 1) of those who act the part of judges or arbiters in matters of common life, or pass judgment on the deeds and words of others 6) to rule, govern a) to preside over with the power of giving judicial decisions, because it was the prerogative of kings and rulers to pass judgment G. Jesus is telling us not to judge as in making a final decree in most situations. He also tells us not to condemn. God is most generally still allowing people to repent from their sin against Him and people. Therefore, we are to be forgiving also. However, we can see that the scripture also tells us to “judge” in the sense of having the ability to discern, perceive and cognitively reason what is right from wrong. Jesus tells us specifically to judge, but not according to how things look on the surface.
Jhn 7:24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

H. Another key point here in understanding our role as followers of Jesus and judgment is that our judgment is to stem from our relationship with the Lord and not upon our own reasoning, our own feeling, or our own self. It must come from spiritual judgment that comes from the Holy Spirit within our life. Our spirit is to be joined with the Lord's Spirit, and out of this unity, as we stay submitted to His Lordship, we have proper judgment. This is what Jesus taught.
Jhn 5:30 I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.

I. We are to have our senses exercised or developed with the ability to discern good from evil, right from wrong. We are not to condemn people; nor put people into a judgment without remedy. Yet, we are to discern, we are to test, we are to try the spirits and so on, but we must do so carefully, always fearing the LORD, and never condemning people out of our own soul. God is the judge; not we.
Hbr 5:14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, [even] those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

J. It therefore is not condemning to bring correction, reproof, rebuke, exhortation and instruction to others. The world and the worldly Christians think it is to condemn to speak the truth regarding heresy or ungodly behavior or attitudes. They are wrong. Clearly, we are not to finalize in judgment of condemnation generally, but we are to distinguish and discern all things. We are too bring correction to others and speak the truth in love. We are to follow the example of Paul the apostle who openly corrected the hypocrisy of apostle Peter. We are to follow these things without partiality or preferential treatment based on friendship or monetary considerations. God is the avenger of all such things and we are to fear the LORD in these things.
1Ti 5:20 Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. 1Ti 5:21 I charge [thee] before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without preferring one before another, doing nothing by partiality.

K. Please note the severity of these things. This was a charge before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, as well as before the elect angels that we are to observe these things. Again, in the Kingdom of God and of Christ, these things are not to be done with preferential treatment or partiality. This is not a good-ole-boys club. This is the Kingdom of God as we submit in truth and sincerity in Jesus Christ.

9. James Robison Gives Vain Accolades To A Priest Of A Heretical Religion.
A. James Robison on his religious INFOMERCIAL declaring a heretical Catholic priest is like seeing Jesus and hearing Jesus though Catholic dogma denies the scripture, presents a different gospel. The Catholic Church, sadly, promotes a replacement for Jesus Christ known as the office of the Pope. This video shows James Robison praising a man that is a heretic. It shows him violating many principles of the Lord by whitewashing heresy and holding men's person in prestige for some advantage. View this Video.

B. James Robison is an ecumenical person. He is mixing various doctrines, gospels and schismatic forms of institutional religion into one strange fire mix.

C. James Robison is one that stands on the stage of a religious infomercial. This is what he is. He is a religious celebrity that markets his TV show for filthy lucre. The sad part is that he is now so fallen that he is denying the Lord that bought him, by standing with those who promote another Jesus.

D. I name him as Paul the apostle named other heretical opposers to the real gospel. 2Cr 11:26; Ga 2:4; 2Tim 2:16-18; Jude 1:4,10-13; 2Pt 2:1

E. I name him because he also has called a rabbi, “a brother, and part of the family”, on the Glenn Beck set in March 2011. (Rabbis of the religion of Judaism, without repentance and faith in Jesus Christ the Messiah are not brethren in the gospel. Jhn 8:24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am [he], ye shall die in your sins.

F. I name him because he at the same time stood with Mormon Glenn Beck who believes that God was a man who became God, and that man can also become a god too. This is the religion of the serpent ladies and gentlemen. How can a professing Christian minister say that a Mormon is a brother in Jesus Christ? How can a professing Christian minister say that a unrepentant and unbelieving rabbi is part of the family? These are people that desperately need the Lord to save them through the true gospel. Amen. But to link, join, yoke, partner, associate and have fellowship with unregenerated people is completely violating the scriptures.

G. The people that watch TV programing are in danger of being seduced. They may become under the influence of this ecumenical mixed bag spirit of the antichrist. This is tragic.

H. We must earnestly contend for the faith that was once delivered unto the saints. We must not follow the trend to blend with the world and the various forms of the religious world. This is the spirit of the antichrist Beast that is bringing this apostasy about.

I. The Lord rebuke you Mr. James Robison. You have not followed the example of Jesus. You have not followed the example of Paul and the other godly apostles in scripture. Repent in Jesus' name.

10. The Humanist Satanists.
A. Do you see how Satanic being a “humanist” is?

B. Do you see just how evil being man-centered is rather than being Christ-centered?

C. The Last Days ruling government of the BEAST will be humanist. It will be man-centered. It will be man-glorifying rather than God-glorifying. It will glorify a man rather than THE Man Jesus Christ the Son of Man.

D. The Beast System of the antichrist will be humanitarian with seemingly good works.

E. The world will be filled with great catastrophic judgments from God Almighty.

F. The world will reel to an from from the face of God. Isa 24:20 The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again. Isa 24:21 ¶ And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the LORD shall punish the host of the high ones [that are] on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth

G. The earth will tremble to the vexation of the wickedness within it.

H. This is why you must discern between seemingly good and what is of God. Because, “good” is not God. Yet, God is good. This is a riddle that can only be understood by being a child of God. God hides these things from the wise and prudent and reveals them to babes. This is marvelous in our eyes.

I. Proof this is true:
Mat 16:23 But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.

J. Do you see this? Peter was rebuking Jesus for saying He was going to suffer in fulfillment of the will of the Father. It may seem that Peter was being kind and worrying about Jesus dying, yet, Jesus perceived the spirit behind this was of Satan. Satan is the one that leads us away from doing the will of God. Satan is the one behind getting people to preserve their lives instead of laying it down as Jesus ultimately did. Satan is the one that leads man, starting with Eve, to be man-centered, rather than God-centered.

K. Do not make the mistake of joining with man in glorifying man as gods as the religion of Satan teaches. Don't be a humanist. Don't be savoring the things of man. Savor the things of the Lord Jesus Christ that gender to eternal life rather than eternal death.

L. This is the mark of those following the antichrist, they are savoring the things of man and they speak of the world and the things of man rather than what is of God.
1Jo 4:5 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.

O. Humanitarianism does not generate the love of God. Love is of God. The world is without God. Therefore, the world does not have the love of God. Humanitarianism operates on a deceitful selfish love. A love that is self-seeking rather than God-glorifying. It is a baser love that does not truly love one's neighbor. God has commanded us to love Him with all of our heart, soul and mind with all of our strength. Secondly, He has commanded us to love our neighbor as our-self. We can not do that as mere men. We can not love this way if we are still in Adam. Adam is out of the earth. We can only love with this love if we are born of God who is above, not below. Jesus is the One in which we must have our life. He is not of the earth but is out of heaven above. Marvel not, Jesus said, you must be born from above. You must be born again. This is how the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit. Those who do this are not of this world. They are not of this world-cosmos-order. They certainly will not be in the Beast New World Order either. But, they shall shine as the light of God in these days of darkness that shall come upon the earth. They shall be known by their love. He that loves in this manner is born of God.

Jhn 13:35 By this shall all [men] know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
