The Perfect Jesus Christ ( our God and Savior) was treated as the village idiot for claiming to be God. He offered salvation to the world and yet was treated as a heretic.
The Perfect Jesus Christ was treated with dismissiveness, as though a madman accused of doing His miracles by means of devils.
The Perfect Jesus Christ was treated with contempt for saying things the people didn't want to hear.
The Perfect Jesus Christ was rejected by most people in the world for His love that was perceived as controlling, while giving up His life to offer wisdom and an eternal salvation to those who had no means of saving themselves.
The Perfect Jesus Christ was lied about, gossiped against, discarded and disrespected for His attempt at saving people from hell.
Isaiah 53:3 "He is despised and rejected of men, a Man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief. And we hid as it were our faces from Him; He was despised, and we esteemed Him not."
Why on earth would a believer in and follower of Jesus Christ think they, as imperfect human beings, would ever think they would be treated better than Christ, the Creator of the Universe?
Matthew 10:22-24 "22 And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved.
23 When they persecute you in this city, flee to another. For assuredly, I say to you, you will not have gone through the cities of Israel before the Son of Man comes.
24 “A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master."

Do Not Fear God's God Israel
Is anyone worried about what is happening in the world? We are living in prophetic times.
It is prophecy, no worries, God's got this!!!!! And, He will fight for Israel, no question.
Romans 11:1-8 "11 I ask, then, has God rejected his people? By no means! For I myself am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, a member of the tribe of Benjamin.
2 God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew. Do you not know what the Scripture says of Elijah, how he appeals to God against Israel?
3 “Lord, they have killed your prophets, they have demolished your altars, and I alone am left, and they seek my life.”
4 But what is God's reply to him? “I have kept for myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.” 5 So too at the present time there is a remnant, chosen by grace. 6 But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works; otherwise grace would no longer be grace."

The Beginning of the False Church System Based on Government and Hierarchy
On another thread, there was a discussion on how believers met in the first century. I thought that Tom Stewart brought up a very good point that I wanted to share here.
Tom Stewart said:
"When Constantine built the first official building dedicated to being a Christian church he patterned it after the Roman Senate. Audience and stage or focal point. It changed Christianity from being a participatory event to being a spectator event. No more body ministry and individual involvement. The professionals took over."
Gwendolyn Wehage said:
"Tom Stewart yep, and this was a shame. Some believers are beginning to realize the traditions they followed for centuries were not God's doing but humans' thinking of a way to control the people, rather than allowing them to be controlled by the Holy Spirit."
A picture Tom provided for us.

Follow Jesus Christ Only!!!!
Anyone who desires to follow a man, quoting that man more than quoting God has an idol.
1 Corinthians 3:1-9 "3 But I, brothers, could not address you as spiritual people, but as people of the flesh, as infants in Christ.
2 I fed you with milk, not solid food, for you were not ready for it. And even now you are not yet ready,
3 for you are still of the flesh. For while there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not of the flesh and behaving only in a human way?
4 For when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” are you not being merely human?
5 What then is Apollos? What is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, as the Lord assigned to each.
6 I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth.
7 So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth.
8 He who plants and he who waters are one, and each will receive his wages according to his labor.
9 For we are God's fellow workers. You are God's field, God's building."
Why would you want to follow a man when the Creator of the universe lives in you, Jesus Christ Himself? There are no mediators between us and God other than Jesus Christ. If you follow Calvin then you have assigned him the mediator between you and God rather than Jesus Christ.

Trusting in Christ Brings Eternal Salvation
When Christ changes us into a new creation when we trust in Him, at that moment His Holy Spirit comes to live in us eternally.
Ephesians 1:12-14 "…12 in order that we, who were the first to hope in Christ, would be for the praise of His glory. 13 And in Him, having heard and believed the word of truth— the gospel of your salvation— you were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, 14 who is the pledge of our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession, to the praise of His glory."

The Spiritual Man can see what the Undiscerning Man Cannot See
When we watch a sad movie, we cry even though we know it isn't real. This is why God says that sin begins in the mind. Our mind records the actions on the screen as our experiencing them.
I see the connection much more clearly now between sin in the heart and sin in actions.
Proverbs 23:7 "7 For as he thinks within himself, so he is.
He says to you, “Eat and drink!” But his heart is not with you."
Psalm 55:21 "His speech is smooth as butter, but war is in his heart. His words are softer than oil, yet they are swords unsheathed."
Matthew 12:34-35 "You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks. The good man brings good things out of his good store of treasure, and the evil man brings evil things out of his evil store of treasure."
Romans 12:2 "Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God."
God is more concerned with the inner heart than outer actions. The outer actions are obvious, but people can be outwardly good and inwardly wicked.
Matthew 12:33-35 "33 Make a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad and its fruit will be bad; for a tree is known by its fruit. 34 You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks. "
John 8:44 "You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out his desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, refusing to uphold the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, because he is a liar and the father of lies."
Proverbs 15:28
The heart of the righteous ponders how to answer, but the mouth of the wicked blurts out evil. The good man brings good things out of his good store of treasure, and the evil man brings evil things out of his evil store of treasure."
A man can fool others only so long before the wicked man's heart is revealed in his actions and words. Those who are Spiritually discerning can see what the undiscerning cannot see.
I see the connection much more clearly now between sin in the heart and sin in actions.
Proverbs 23:7 "7 For as he thinks within himself, so he is.
He says to you, “Eat and drink!” But his heart is not with you."

America Has Something to Fear Even if they Don't Know it!
A "supposed" friend making a deal with the friend's enemy is to be disloyal to the friend.
Making a deal with Iran is to be disloyal to Israel!!!!
I have learned this from my studies and experiences with narcissism. A narcissist is friends with their targets' enemies as a show of solidarity with the persecutors.
Now that our government has turned its back on Israel, we can see more miracles than ever in Israel because of God's protection when no one else will defend her.
Keep this in mind when you are treated disrespectfully by your enemies: God will fight for you and protect you because you belong to Him, just as God will protect and defend Israel Himself while the whole world is against her.
Never fear or become disquieted because your friends will not be loyal. If they are disloyal, that is the clue that they were never your friends in the first place. True friends do not turn on their friends; they defend and comfort them.
And, best of all, know that God is our defender, we need not worry about having allies when He is our protector!!!! Hallelujah!!!
Genesis 12:3 "I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”
America has much to be afraid of in these last days but will not understand why!
Isaiah 60:12 "For the nation and kingdom that will not serve you shall perish; those nations shall be utterly laid waste."
