Labeled Wrongly Because of Your Faith in Christ

Have you ever been labeled rebellious because you think very differently from those who are rebellious?

It is common now in these end times for those who follow the Word of God to be called rebellious, divisive, or judgmental by those who are these things themselves.

A favorite tactic of the devil is to accuse the believer of sins the devil is committing, but the believer is not.

I see this on steroids in the news recently, when the police have to shoot a criminal, and the media claims the police were the bad guys in it.

It is the rebellious people who are accusing the police of wrongdoing who are only doing what they need to do to get criminals off the streets.

The same is true in families in which the family members who claim to be "Bible believers" accuse the Bible followers of the very things the disobedient "Christians" are doing, but the Bible followers are not doing.

Sadly this sort of disordered and unruly thinking is common now. They get away with it almost entirely without challenge because the entire culture supports those who are lying when they say they are "Bible believing."

Our culture has degraded so much so that the insane are runing the asylum, and the churches are included in this mess. The world has taken over the churches and has accused those who no longer attend of being disobedient for not attending their mess.

They follow a system God never commanded, while unable to wrap their minds around the truth of God's word, preferring their traditions of men over the Word of God.

Mark 7:13 "13Thus you nullify the word of God by the tradition you have handed down. And you do so in many such matters.”

Traditions of men are more powerful than truth in the hearts of those who love to have their ears tickled. They will only listen to those who say what they want to hear, while those who correct with Scripture are negated and punished for disrupting the status quo with truth.

Colossians 2:8 "See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, which are based on human tradition and the spiritual forces of the world rather than on Christ."

1 Timothy 4:1-3 "Now the Spirit expressly states that in later times some will abandon the faith to follow deceitful spirits and the teachings of demons, / influenced by the hypocrisy of liars, whose consciences are seared with a hot iron. / They will prohibit marriage and require abstinence from certain foods that God has created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth."

Romans 10:3 "Because they were ignorant of God’s righteousness and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God’s righteousness."

Acts 7:51-53 "You stiff-necked people with uncircumcised hearts and ears! You always resist the Holy Spirit, just as your fathers did. Which of the prophets did your fathers fail to persecute? They even killed those who foretold the coming of the Righteous One. And now you are His betrayers and murderers— you who received the law ordained by angels, yet have not kept it.”
