What has happened to the truth in spiritual things... the truths of God?

Question

It should be no surprise that we have the highest aids rate, gay rate, abortion rate, jail rate, drop out rate, murder rate, death rate, poverty rate, and unemployment rate our nation has ever seen. You would think that somebody, somewhere would get concerned. But the men and women that have crept into our pulpits unaware are helping themselves to your money, but not giving a care about your soul.
Wake up church. -
Jude 4
For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

spiritual blindness
I believe Jesus said
"Father forgive them for they know not what they do."

Revelation 3:13-19
13He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. 14And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;
15I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
16So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
17Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
18I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
19As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

Answer 1

The leadership and the people today have sought be more PC "tolerant".The churches are fighting over how to conform to the world standards (be more accepting of sins such as homosexuality).The world tries to deny the bible,prayer, and that Jesus is God.Nowhere in the bible does it change to accept sin.Nowhere does Jesus tolerate sin (He forgave sin).
Even christians want to push their personal beliefs.

Jesus is still the Only way to the Father and heaven.
Romans 3,6,10
Job 19
Matt 24-25

Answer 2

Forget about the highest unemployment rate, or death rate.
Those are incorrect statements. More people die because there are so many more people. (we do live longer than befor) the unimployment rate is far from being the highest ever. (remember the great depression?)
I won't tell you of the miracles which I have had. (so in church's, I ask people to tell of the miracles they have had.) None speak up. Now the reason I no longer tell of the miracles I have had is because 100% of the time I am called a liar, (a freak) simpleton or what have you. They all shy away and even make me out as a hipocrit, satonic, loon, turn against me in mass, lie about me, coniver against me, beleive nothing I say, and what ever I do for them is turned against me.
These people are all church goers, respected, honored, saught after, looked up to, accomplished, faithful to their churches, comunity leaders, youth leaders, boy scout leaders, priests, pastors, deacons, 70s, and on and on.
Churches hear no truth, see no truth,know no truth and will not in any way seek out the truthfull. Society is no differant.
A miracle is some thing that can not happen but did.
But let me put it this way, you are correct in most of your observations. Have you been taken out of your body and shown the incomprehendable? That is probably the least of my miracles, (this life means nothing in comparison to what is.) The satonic (in my oppinion) do their best work with in churches. Where else would the evil one make a greater effort?

Answer 3

Activated by the Spirit is strongest of all, verified by the word of God, people seem to get a little confused over this activation part, activated can be done on the inside as being felt in the Heart, this is actually the most beautiful one there is, it is unproven, but yet felt as a glow inside, a belief or also called faith, you can not prove it is true, but you just know it is true, then there is another type of activation, this is the strongest of all, not near as beautiful as the inside activation, for the simple reason it brings belief, faith to life as fact, this is a very hard place to be, some of the prophets new it as "behold", now is their words a burden to them, life and death hinge on their words, not easy to swallow, being the world is full of this and that. Enough said. LOL, One thing I will say, the majority of people do not know what they hear, or what they say, that is very easy to see, I pray all the time for their eyes to be opened, money means nothing, it is no more than a merit system of a physical world, they use it as a way of power, to control, they use this language as a gauge of their merit system also, they charge people for an education ? Lawyers to defend you in a physical court of law ? How is it, a contract is made for a piece of dirt to call your own, a 1,000 words to say this is yours ? I do not buy lies, simplicity does not exist in their words, how is it a copyright can be made of words that do not belong to them in the first place ? What, a commodity is made of words ? A commodity is not a gift, a gift is a gift for giving and remains as a gift, to modify it by making it a commodity, where is the right of this, where does Jesus stand on this subjection onto you ? People talk about being activated by the Spirit, this is what it sounds like, this is what it feels like, this is where your Heart goes, this is where your Mind goes, where does it go ? Right back down here on this planet to help the Hearts and Minds of the poor, to lift up the Hearts and Minds of those, to give assurance God is not a God afar off, just to let the children of the living God know, you are not alone ! It would be best to succor and not curse. Fare well little ones.

Answer 4

WOOHOO! Preach on, little lady!! Tell it like it is!

No, surprises here because our nations values and morals have been thrown out the door! Soon, thereafter, out went school prayer. Then, Roe vs Wade, ushered in the killing of the unborn...legal murder. Now, God is not allowed nor, wanted in many of our mainstream facilities.

All the while, many have made a fortune and turned a deaf ear to God. They are "wolves in sheep's clothing." Standing behind the cross ...all for self gain. It is a sad thing! But, I do beleive that there are men and women that HE called and who follows HIM, not money, not popularity and not their own agenda's! It is a matter of HIS wisdom and our discernment, through the Spirit.

God bless you! Keep on yelling...WAKE_UP CHURCH as WE are the CHURCH.

Answer 5

Hmmm. Centuries ago, people believed that lack of faith in god caused the plague and the black death.

Today we know that the cause was disease bearing rodents. Yet, somehow, some people are still thinking that the ills of this world is caused by the lack of faith in god.

It is ironic that no matter how much we think we have progressed in technology, we have not progressed in our thinking.

Answer 6

Well that's a depressing way to look at life.

No offense and all. Cheer up a bit! Most religious leaders actually do care about the people they lead; it's just the bad eggs that get all the press.

Answer 7

The inspired prophet Daniel noted:

"And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time." - Daniel 7:25.

the "he" spoken of is satan, note carefully that Daniel says that satan will INTEND (nasb) to make changes in laws, this of course being spiritual laws, given by God. This prophecy pertains to the end times.

he (satan) changes the laws by seducing people to think there is nothing wrong with lawlessness, speaking of the end times in Matthew 24, we read:

""Because lawlessness is increased, most people's love will grow cold." - Matthew 24:12.

also relating to the last days lawlessness 2 Thessalonians 2:

"Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God." - 2 Thessalonians 2:3,4.

Also in Daniel 7:25, the phrase "he will wear down the saints"; points to satan and the last days, a cross reference to this is in Revelation:

"It was also given to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them, and authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation was given to him." - Revelation 13:7.

Answer 8

AMEN!

Many people give no thought to their own soul. Instead they prefer to be told, its ok, its your life, your are not hurting anyone, what CAUSED you to be this way etc? They only want to feel good without personal responsibility and accountability.

Answer 9

We do not need to be introduced to the new ideas, we need to be reminded of the old ones...from the Bible.

God's Word is the same past, present and future.

Answer 10

Someone watches Foxnews to much
