False Judgments Based on the Desired Belief that is not True

Some people notice our strength and call it defiance. They will see our independence and label it arrogance. Ignore them!

Many times we are judged as stubborn because we follow the principles of Christ that are offensive to those who want to make up their own idea of Christianity not based on the Bible but on the culture in which they live. 

We are surrounded by people who think they can make up any doctrine that pleases them even if it defies God. These are those who play at religion, thinking merely because they want to believe it, or it sounds good to them, it must be true.

The pressure to follow people is intense in our culture. The group-thinkers make up rules for their followers to adhere to the doctrines of men rather than following Christ and all His teachings in the Bible.

These same people will attempt to apply the Old Testament Law to Christianity, which Christ delivered us from when He made all things new because of His death and resurrection. 

Now, as born-again believers, we don't "follow" the commandments as so many attempt to do; we live them; they are a part of our being because Christ lives in us. The Law-Giver, Jesus Christ lives in us and He is convicting to those who are attempting to be good people on their own because of the pride that dwells in them.

Those who have been changed by Christ love Him and all His principles, they should not add anything to His Word nor should they ignore any of His Word. 

Pride is at the root of every person who attempts to make God's principles and commands fit their own cultural idea. These people are in rebellion against God but will claim those who follow the Word are the ones in rebellion against their culture. 

We are living in a time as it was in the days of Noah, when there will be few people who love God's Word but many who play at Christianity, justifying their sin of rebellion while accusing those who follow Christ of legalism. 

Let us remember that legalism is what these pretenders do, they make rules for others that God never made. God is looking for those who obey what He gave us in the Bible, without changing it to fit the culture. And, these same people who make up their own rules will rage and malign anyone who will not obey them or adhere to the group-think.

We recognize those who make up their own rules because of their stubbornness in refusing to discuss their assertions while using the Bible as the standard bearer for everything discussed. It is not possible to have a reasonable and rational discussion with pretenders, mostly because they are very proud of how much they think they know and will never tolerate any correction. 

Our only recourse is to avoid the pretenders, they are continually angry and full of malice toward others driven by their pride and need to dominate and control others. 

2 Timothy 3:1-5
Difficult (ragingly insane)Times Will Come
3 But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come.
2 For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, slanderers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy,
3 unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good,
4 treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,

5 holding to a form of godliness although they have denied its power; avoid such people as these."

Notice how fragile these pretenders are, so much so that they cannot bear to even hear so much as a different opinion, they must bludgeon, and discredit anyone who does not bow to them. 

Notice too that the pretenders have a form of religion but not according to God. They make up their own religion while throwing in a little Bible to make it sound credible. Unless we know the Bible well we could be deceived and intimidated by them. 

Let's not be intimidated by those who bring a false Christless religion while claiming to be of Him. They can be discerned by their lack of all the fruit of God's Spirit. They have no love, they are an irritating gong full of malice. Making trouble everywhere they go they revel in their ability to instigate and provoke others to make themselves feel superior. 

Proverbs 14:7: "Stay away from a fool, for you will not find knowledge on their lips"
Proverbs 18:2: "A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion"
Proverbs 29:11: "A fool gives full vent to his spirit, but a wise man quietly holds it back"
Proverbs 12:16: "A fool is easily upset"
Proverbs 14:15: "The simple believe anything, but the prudent give thought to their steps"

Those who are pretenders are unregenerate fools being led by the devil not realizing they are his tool to ruin godly relationships. This is why God tells us to stay away from them and expose them as led by the Holy Spirit. 

May the Lord give us strength to maintain our walk with Christ and preserve our resolve to follow Him.

Some people are really skilled at making others look bad.

A Narcissist's Worst Instinct

The devil uses narcissists to attempt to create frustration in us, do not allow them to do it. Ignore them and avoid them as much as possible.

2 Timothy 3:1-5 2
Difficult Times Will Come

2 For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, slanderers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy,
