Matthew 10:35-37 "…3 5For I have come to turn ‘a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. 36 A man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.’ 37 Anyone who loves his father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me;…
Most people have not been raised in authentically Christian homes. They have either been non-believing homes or cultural Christians who follow some rules but do not know the Bible. These households are hostile to the Word of God and will unfriend anyone who encourages them to look into their beliefs by using the Bible.
I have had more Christians angry with me than non-believers for using the Bible as the standard for belief and actions. Those who dislike me the most are those who support divorce and remarriage, even if they do not do it themselves they defend those who do it.
I have heard; "don't judge" far more from Christians than non-Christians. It is my belief that most people who say they are Christians in our day are pretenders, not desiring to be holy or love the Lord with all their heart.
God is a puppet and a genie in a bottle they let out once in a while to give them their wishes. He is not the God of the Bible Who desires worship and demands that we consult Him to do His will.
Matthew 22:36-38 "…36“Teacher, which commandment is the greatest in the Law?” 37 Jesus declared, “ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ 38This is the first and greatest commandment.…"
The pretenders or cultural Christians of our day do not love one another any more than they love God, they do not love anyone but themselves. This is why we see God saying in these last days the following words:
2 Timothy 3:1-5 "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 [b]godliness although they have denied its power; avoid such people as these."
Remember next time you encounter someone who rages at you or mocks you for speaking words of the Bible you are encountering a pretender and a narcissist.
