The State of Pentecostal Churches

MOSES WAS DROPPED BACK IN NILE

2011-02-26T11:09:00.000-08:00

Moses was picked up by the Princess and handed over to his own biological mother along with a lump-sum salary to look after him and rear him for Princess. Means; activities, attitude, dressing, education, velour etc everything for princess.

The mother takes the child back along with the salary. She returns from there and in the middle of the ways even before reaching home she takes another basket and places him once again into that and leaves him back in Nile saying "God will take care of you," and she goes home retaining the salary in her pocket. Also, she continues to receive her salary every month regularly.

THIS IS TRUE.

What I am trying to tell you by this short story is, yes, the parents and the pastors having been received the children and believes from God, they are leaving to their fate. They receive their salary in the form of tithe every month, but at the times of crisis, everybody run away saying "its not my problem," so carelessly, and say God will take care of you. ALL THIS IS HAPPENING IN THE PENTECOSTAL CHURCHES ONLY, NOWHERE ELSE.

IN WHAT WAY THIS IS CORRECT?

They speak only about New Skies, New Jerusalem and Zion. Nothing less than that, but it is true once if a family or a believer is down, he/she is totally forgotten by one and all.

People! Beware and be aware, in reality, Satan is not your deceiver, but your pastor only.

The Parable of The Sower, - WHO LOOKED BACK?

2010-12-13T04:01:00.000-08:00

The Parable of The Sower
Matt 13:3-23; Mk 4:2-20; Lk 8:4-15

Luke 8:4-15 When a great multitude ……. The farmer went out to sow his seed. As he sowed, some fell…..Other fell amid the thorns, (STOP HERE) and the thorns grew with it, and choked it (THINK THIS FOR A WHILE).

“The socalled God given word was choked by the problems of this world.” Which means finally the world overtook the word.

Even though the Bible says they are choked with riches, and pleasures of life, I am ruling out these two cases in our Pentecostal circle because this circle contains very poor. There are no ministers, multimillionaires, big shots, rulers, corporate chairmen etc. All are one month salary earners at the best, that’s it. Many people even without own house.

Nobody can deny the difficulties/problems/poverty part in Pentecostals’ lives

More than that, the believers are instructed to GIVE A RED CARPET WELCOME TO THE PROBLEMS/INFLICTIONS in the name of carrying one’s cross (with the intention of the-only-way to be close to God).

The other two cases of seed falling on the roadside, and stones, we don’t consider as they are mostly considered backslidden and outsiders. But only the third category is in the church for a long time, but the problems are slowly growing more than their endurance and slowly choking them on a long run. While the seed that fell in the good ground (which does not have these thorns) are able to give at least 30% of result at their best, these seed that fell in the thorns HAVE NOT YIELDED ANYTHING, INSTEAD THEY WERE BLEEDING AT THE TIME OF REAPING. WHAT A PITY.

DID ANYONE LOOK BACK TO PICK THESE SEEDS AND REPLANT IN A GOOD GROUND? WHO, WHERE? Does not that shepherded have that responsibility to look back if any sheep is lost?

CAN YOU IMAGINE YOUSELF ONE AMONG THE THORNS AT THE END OF YOUR LIFETIME? WONT YOU FEEL IT IS TOO LATE?? WONT YOU QUESTION WHY NONE OF THE DEAREST PASTORS WARNED YOU WHO TOOK ALL TIMELY OFFERINGS AND TITHES FROM YOU?

LACK OF ORDERLINESS IN THE CHURCH

2010-11-13T11:00:00.000-08:00

Even to prophecy, St. Paul ordained a way to prophecy in an order.

While Paul want to be done everything in an order, be it prophecy or serving the food (he elected seven spiritual people to do that job) how come these days pastors are totally ending up in chaos? They dont know what they are doing and also dont know what believers are doing. They say, we are informed of everything by God, but dont know what is happening in front of their eyes.

It is natural that things will go out of control when the church grows. They should agree that and keep planting the new church for every 100 believers at least. What our people are doing is demolishing the old church and building a new church in the same place for every 1000 extra believers. So, in the whole crowd they dont know who is who what is what and the little bit of help they provide will go only to the own relatives of the pastor or his nearest sympathisers only. The distant believer is always denied. - this is only one part

WHO GAVE YOU THE AUTHORITY ??

2010-11-13T10:37:00.000-08:00

Matthew 10:9
What God has joined together, let man not separate.

While the Bible clearly says not to seperate a family, how can the pastors seperate the children too from them? Who gave you the authority? All with the support of Bible only. huh!! Where will they go? You people preach only "dont believe man, dont depend on family, dont trust children etc, but only believe God. Fine, but you know that you should not forget your responsibilities? There is a verse for that also.

We trusted you as a source of God for each and everything, as a representative of God!

You say, God will take care, for everything. Let me ask you, will he come down and sign in the rigistrar's office? No, that drunkard father/relative only has to come. Can you, as a pastor, come and talk in the court? No, that blood relative only has to come. While the truth is so real, how can you deny your responsibility at least to give comfort to that boy or girl? There you are saying THAT IS NOT MY JOB, ASKED WAS I THE CAUSE FOR THE PROBLEM? No, but as a Good Samaritan and more than that as a pastor who baptized us and received your wages from our hands you have the utmost responsibility to take care of a believer at least in the final stage. WHAT AN IGNORANT REPLIES THESE DAYS FROM THE SO CALLED PRIESTS !! You are the high priest .... huh!

You say, we are not interfereing in personal lives. Bible speaks about personal lives only. It speaks about what you are doing in a remote place in a closed chamber. So, according to your statement can we commit what ever we want and be devotional in the church alone? Which means hypocracy, so you are encouraging that only.

TURN THE OTHER CHEEK.... how long?

2010-11-12T07:01:00.000-08:00

Matthew 5:39, 40, 41
....If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also.
... And if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well.
....If someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles.

One day he will ask your other cheek, the other day he will ask your shirt, then then extra mile.........Does the list stop there? This keeps growing.

He will ask for Rs. 10,000, ...... ok give him 20,000,......
he will ask you one house.... ok give that also... the list increase,.....and one fine day he will come and ask your wife too...... CAN YOU SEND?

Then he will ask your daughter too, will you send your two daughters? and say I am following the word of God?

Stop the nonsense. DONT TAKE THE VERSE IN LITERAL SENSE AND SAY WE ARE FOLLOWING EVERY LETTER OF THE BIBLE.

If you start losing one by one, then where is the security that has to be provided to your family, WHICH WILL BE DONE BY YOU ONLY AS A HEAD OF THE FAMILY?

So, the rule is, at the first place, not to follow the Bible in literal sense, but to follow for what it is said. - Here he means to stay away from the problem creaters.

Do not mix this with the property and rights one has in his family, they are different. You have to get what you have to get or get done by your family. This is your birth right. If you lose now, tomorrow you cannot go and ask some X on the road, he will kick you. There are certain things, which a father only has to do, not anybody else.

THE STUPIDITY IN PENTECOSTALS

2010-11-12T06:52:00.000-08:00

A very fine example. Once I attended a tarry meeting for the Holy Spirit, where the pastor was saying to the believers to shout out and pray because it is said in the Bible that open your mouth, i will fill it. So, the whole crowd started shouting more and more. - This is how the church nowadays.

Psalms 81:10
.........Open wide your mouth and I will fill it.

Claiming themselves to be high spirituals, see how low they are thinking about the word of God! This is how they are making more and more noise in the church.

He means, to open your heart. But these people are taking it so blindly, literally and spoiling the weightage of the verse themselves. This clearly shows how stupid they are.

HIGHEST LEVEL OF SACRIFICE

2010-11-12T06:32:00.000-08:00

In Bible, there are many incidents, which we easily overlook and are considered very simple. So, what our pastors are doing nowadays is they start their Bible teaching at the highest level only, nothing less than that.

For example they start with Jesus carrying the cross and Hebrews 11th chapter 37,38.

Heb 11:37,38
They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented;
(Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.

They encourage everyone to go in this path, from which they themselves escape.

Regarding Abraham begetting Issac, and his sacrifice, regarding Job's pain, etc. etc. .... or even the poor widow dropping two coins in the offering box.... these all look very simple stories, but when you try to live in them these are all such a big sacrifice..... to say the truth, there is no greater sacrifice than these.

So, lets us not take the hard part in the beginning itself and break our teeth, rather take the milk first like a baby and then slowly move on to harder food. Carrying cross is not such an easy thing. Jesus himself tried to escape from that. If God permits, lets us accomplish in our final stages the above-said hardest part, the bony and muscle part where you have to break the bones. This is how we have to grow, but not the opposite way, else you will become one among the -> Mark 10:31 But many who are first will be last, and the last first)

DOES GOD LACK FAITH?

2010-11-12T06:21:00.001-08:00

God created man, by taking mud into his hands. Also, Jesus brought salvation by carrying the cross.

Let me ask you a question. The creator and the almighty God who created the whole universe just by his word, cannot he create the man and the salvation in the same fashion? Does he lack faith? Or we are more than God ??!!

When the almighty God himself involved himself physically in the act of creating something, let me ask you, are we more powerful faith warriors than him?

Why these pentecostals say, don't do anything, have faith alone? Look at the verse

James 2:26
For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so also "faith without works is dead."

Which means you need to act on something for what you believe. The work along with faith only will bring you the desired result.

BE CAREFUL, THE PENTECOSTALS ARE TEACHING WRONG IN THIS REGARD.

THE DEAPTH AND HEIGHT OF THE TRUTH/THE WORD - as I perceived

2010-11-12T05:56:00.000-08:00

We see different pastors giving different interpretations in different times in the name of revelation to the verses of the Bible. As I perceived over a period of time, they are all superfecial.

In my view, while the Bible says in

Zechariah 2:8
....for he that toucheth you, toucheth the apple of my eye.

Very energetic to read and meditate, which we also would proud to be part of. But the truth is not as simple as we think that the devil will not even think of harming you, or he will just like that run away from you. When you undergo this verse the story is totally different and perplexing.

Because, I found a different meaning for the "TOUCH" what is mentioned there. Look at the following verse.

Job 2:5
But put forth thine hand now, and "TOUCH" his bone and his flesh,..........but spare his life.

Here is a conversation going on between God and Satan to trouble Job, a righteous man, and the Satan is seeking permission at God twice to trouble him in every manner. Then you know the story what happened and what an amount of pain he underwent.

Just with the permission not to touch Job's life he underwent such an agonizing pain, what would have happened if he was permitted to touch Job's life? JUST THINK.

This is what the meaning/deapth/height of the verse. It is not just a play toy to play around with the Bible. It is not a kid's play. Not so easy as the so-called prophets are teaching nowadays.

Many examples to follow...

WHICH PART OF THE BIBLE TO LEAVE/IGNORE ???

2010-11-12T05:35:00.000-08:00

In the whole Bible there are quite opposite verses for the same context. For example; while it says hate youself and your family, it also says love yourself and your family and do the needful. I want to list down few opposite verses here.
-----
Luke 14:26
If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters--yes, even his own life--he cannot be my disciple. (- While this says so and looks like total carelessness, look at the following verse)

1 Timothy 3:5
If anyone does not know how to manage his own family, how can he take care of God's church? - (pure responsibility and capability to run his own family and the love to share)
-----

Also, Matthew 22:39
And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. - Clearly says how much to love youself, your health, your comfort, convenience, financial matters, status, power, etc. etc. etc. all good things that one wishes to have ALONG WITH THE GOSPEL, now share this love to your neighbour. This is what it means.

-----

While he is saying to deny everyone around you in the verse Luke 14:26, I John 4:20 says

If anyone says, "I love God," yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen.

It literally means to love your brother whom you can see with your NAKED EYES.

-----

Also, St. Paul in I Timothy 5:8 says
If anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for his immediate family, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

Which is a pucca verse telling to take care of your family.

-----

2 Corinthians 12:14
......children should not have to save up for their parents, but parents for their children.

Paul clearly speaks about the savings and the future of the children.

Why these are not taught in the churches? Are these not spoken by God? Devil spoke these? BE PRACTICAL MAN!! LIVE IN THE PRACTICAL WORLD!!!

lots more to come....

CAN BIBLE DO BAD TO YOU?

2010-11-12T05:19:00.000-08:00

The answer is "Yes". Be very attentive. Bible is the word, I mean the sword. If you handle the sword in a wrong way won't it hurt you? Deffinitely.

If you throw the sword in a wrong way, or if you don't know how to use the sword the battlefield.... what will happen? It is not the enemy who will get hurt, but you... you only are going to hurt yourself or even kill yourself.

Or, in other words, Bible is a box of medicines. Yes, the solution is given there. What happens if you take a wrong medicine and a wrong dosage? Certainly you will get killed.

There is a crowd standing on the left side of the throan in the judgement day, disqualified and rejected, all these are pucca christians and performed miracles. Still they were rejected because, one of the reasons, fundamentally they used the Bible in a wrong way.

Matthew 7:22
Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?'

BE ADVISED TO USE THE WORD OF GOD IN A RIGHT WAY. - MEANS IT SHOULD YIELD YOU GOOD RESULTS EVEN IF IT TAKES TIME.

DONT MIXUP BOTH !! (THE KING's AND THE LORD's)

2010-10-26T19:44:00.000-07:00

Matthew 22:17
Tell us then, what is your opinion? Is it right to pay taxes to Caesar or not?"

Matthew 22:21
....Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's.

WE ARE TOO SPIRITUALS, RIGHT? WE ARE SEPERATED FROM THE WORLD, RIGHT? SO WE DO NOT DO THE RESPONSIBILITIES THAT ARE DUE TO THE GOVERNMENT, OR PERTAINING TO THE LAW. THEY SAY GOD "TOLD ME" TO DO SO AND SO. IF SO, WHO SAID THE ABOVE? SATAN?

That day itself Jesus spoke about paying the tax. It also relates to the legal procedures. A man, a head of the house, has to follow the guidelines of a constitution and settle things legally before his death so that the sons and daughters do not fight with each other after his death.

Why this is not stressed in the churches? Not in any special meeting or retreat?

CARRYING ONE'S CROSS Vs PEACEFUL LIFE IN CHRIST

2010-10-25T10:56:00.001-07:00

If we have to live only in misery and carry our cross everyday, why would St. Paul say I Timothy 2:1-2 I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. ??

Is St. Paul against Jesus? No, he is speaking more of a practical life. He is differentiating cross from the peaceful life that we have to carryon.

WHERE ALL THE WISE HAVE GONE?

2010-10-11T08:51:00.000-07:00

I Cor 6:1-8
Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints? …….I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren?………But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers…….

Why the pastors today are advising the members of the church to go to court and police station? Are they not wise enough? Are there no wise elders in the church? No, no, those men for him only, not for the members. Now they are boldly denying saying THAT IS NOT OUR JOB. Where is it written in the Bible that such and such is not the pastor’s job!?

We relied on you for everything, ……..don’t say depend on God, as a representative of God we trusted you. We left all our caste, creed, own relatives, even family members and are already on the roads, now you too forsake us! What about our future and fate, and our children? ……..Don’t say God will take care of you, …..but then why are you there as a representative of His own? God will never directly help us, but through a proper channel. Tithes and offerings too he never took directly from us. You were the channel. You did favor to some, but denied to many. What way this is correct!?

It is purely because they want to save the skin of their own, they are selfish, though looks wise, purely they don’t want to carry the cross.

PENTECOSTALISM IS THE SPIRITUAL POISON

2010-07-17T09:00:00.001-07:00

Mat 23:4
For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.

Mat 15:14
…. they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.

Yes, the preachers load people with unbearable loads, which they themselves wont lift even with their little finger and make fools the people who follow them.

This attitude is to raise themselves over other churches, put up big banners and to occupy center stages. Practically they are zero, leading the followers with a lot of inferiority complex and a guilty feeling of having not fulfilled the doctrine and unable to question back the preacher why and what because they had placed themselves in a place very high, anointed people next to God. They keep all the followers dumb and blind and incapable just because the Bible says
Gen 3:19 …..for dust you are and to the dust you will go back.

They split families just because it is said in the Bible
Matthew 10:37-39 “He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; and he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me; And he who does not take up his cross and follow Me is not worthy of Me.

When all the family is broken and you become alone think what will be your state of mind? Because of all the loses you incurred you will start hating the doctrine, and you will try to recover the loses, when you cannot retrieve either you will become depressed and mad, commit suicide or indulge in some antisocial activities. What is the use?

Finally this situation will lead you to the verse Mat 20:16 "the last will be first, and the first will be last."

God never meant us to live in self-strangling situation. If your situation has to become so pathetic then why did he welcome you with a welcome note of verse
Mat 11:28 you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest ???

He meant us to live in peace only. To get clarified personal issues you can send a mail to prasannakumari69@gmail.com. It is not possible everything to explain in a single page.

“DON’T GET DECEIVED”

HAVING A HOUSE OR PROPERTY IS AGAINST BIBLE?

2010-03-02T06:22:00.000-08:00

Nowadays the Pentecostal churches are not teaching anything about having a own house, or how to manage the household issues and the property issues. They are totally indifferent to it. Then why would St. Paul would say like this? I Tim 3:5 If anyone does not know how to manage his own family, how can he take care of God's church.

Why I am stressing these basic things is, nowadays the so called high spiritual people are not concentrating anything about their families and its welfare, but they only want to do ministry, build churches and gather people. It is slowly considered as a sin or lust for the worldly things if one concentrates and wants to run his own family effectively. At one point, they are saying it is not my problem. If managing his own family is not his problem then whose problem it is?

Then why did St. Paul said II Cor 12:14 ...After all, children should not have to save up for their parents, but parents for their children.

BIBLE DOES NOT ADVISE TO IGNORE ONE'S BASIC RESPONSIBILITIES

WHAT IS LIKE OUR BODY AND PHYSICAL NEEDS

2010-01-03T08:49:00.000-08:00

Our day to day life, family, responsibilities wordly life is not supposed to be neglected because it was said in the Bible deny your own family and yourself and carry the cross every day.

These pentecostal super spirituals always teach about new earth, new heaven and new Jerusalem, but they completely neglect what Jesus and St. Paul said about maintaining one's own family. Jesus said "if you cannot love your brother whom you can see, how can you love the God whom you cannot see? Paul said to be able to manage one's own family. Fundamentally, if these are neglected and pose themselves as super spirituals it is like
breaking the earthen pot in which you have to cook a precious food for all.
Once you hit the pot, it will not break only where it was hit, but the whole pot will break into pieces. So is this physical life. After breaking this pot, you cannot dream of cooking food. The vessel is lost!!

HOW COME THE PASTORS ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CHURCH'S PHYSICAL NEEDS

2009-07-24T05:12:00.000-07:00

1 Corinthians 9:7
Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock?

Today, the pastors say all and eat all from the believers, but when it comes to deal with some core issues, they say it is not my job. How can a pastor say that is not my job after receiving his salary as prescribed above by God himself.

Also, look at the below incident;

Mark 6:41
And when he had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and brake the loaves, and gave [them] to his disciples to set before them; and the two fishes divided he among them all.

Mark 8:6,7
And he commanded the people to sit down on the ground: and he took the seven loaves, and gave thanks, and brake, and gave to his disciples to set before [them]; and they did set [them] before the people.
And they had a few small fishes: and he blessed, and commanded to set them also before [them].

Why the miracles of 5 loaves and 2 fish and 7 loaves and a few small fish were done by Jesus?

After very long sermons, the multitude was tired and hungry in the wilderness. Multitude was ignored in the middle of the jungle by the disciples and decided to drive them away to their homes. Whereas Jesus considered them and wanted to provide food to them. If he is not bothered about the physical needs why would he feed them?

Take the incident of Good Samaritan! First the victim was paid attention to the physical necessities, then he went to the church.

Which pastor is taking the responsibility like above? We want only the verbal help, not the treasure from your pockets.

Practicality

2009-07-24T05:07:00.000-07:00

Isaiah 53:7 He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth.

But did he keep quite? He prayed thrice to make sure or to escape from the crucifixion.

Matthew 26:39 And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou [wilt].

26:42 He went away again a second time and prayed, saying, "My Father, if this cannot pass away unless I drink it, Your will be done."

26:44 And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.

ALSO PETER

Matthew 26:35 Peter said unto him, Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples. BUT PETER WAS THE ONE WHO THRICE DENIED HIM BEFORE THE COCK CREW. All the disciples ran for their lives. Even after Jesus’ crucifixion, Peter took his same old fishing net and went his way to the same old job of fishing.

Also, St. Thomas! who walked with Christ finally said unless I check you personally all your body I cannot believe what you have said and you have come alive.

Doubting and running away is human nature, we should not count that a very big mistake.

IS THERE WITCHCRAFT AGAINST CHRISTIANS?

2009-07-24T05:05:00.000-07:00

Yes. God gave permission to Satan first not to touch Job’s body, later not to touch his life. So, Satan has permission to trouble us.
Bible says, John 16:33 …. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. While he says there is no witchcraft against Israel he means one cannot take away ones life, but there will be tribulation till one dies.

What Are Pentecost

2009-07-24T05:04:00.000-07:00

They stain the gnat and swallow the camel. (They say no to flowers, no color dress, no ornaments, no cinema and songs, no TV etc etc but finally they elope with neighbors. They say we will turn the second cheek, we will come the extra mile, but finally they end up sitting in the courts or with witch crafting.)

They boast high of themselves above any other denomination; there are more chances they could get deceived like a Pharisee, whereas the Publican got mercy and went home righteous.

They always preach verses that support them to keep the members of the church dumb. They don’t want members asking back about what is happening in their own lives. They say it is all just faith. They are void of vision. They are blind leading the blind.

They go again and again beating about the same old bush, but they never touch untouched portions of the Bible, why God wont reveal it to them? If we show the contrary verse they say Stan is working in you and they insult us in front of everyone and make fun of us.

How come Holy Spirit and witchcraft can stay side by side in a Baptized man for 50 long years? We generally know where there is light there is no darkness. Then how both existed in the same man? God told a lie or the preachers are lying.
I think the verse Mat 20:16 But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first is written for Pentecost people only. Possibly there is a deceptive spirit moving in the Pentecostal churches.

Where is the Justice?

2009-07-24T05:02:00.000-07:00

Iniquity is multiplying these days. No more justice in courts, no more law and order in the police stations and no righteousness in the rulers. Last days. How much more we need to be careful. And how much more the pastor should take care of his flock.

GOLDEN RULE and THE GREATEST COMMANDMENT OF ALL

2009-07-24T04:58:00.000-07:00

I. How to follow the word of God.
1. One should always read the Bible and understand in the spiritual aspect, not literally in a carnal way or physical way. When it says every hair is counted, not literally, but you are taken care of.

2. Secondly the Bible always spoke and elaborately described only about the world to come, i.e. salvation and heaven. When he says like in Eph 3:20-21 .. Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think… it does not mean worldly riches.

It spoke very less about human day-to-day practical life and problems, and moreover it did not speak about any tradition of Christianity.(eg: You get marry in American way or African way, he is not bothered.)

3. Christianity is like pregnant lady. If she is careful, well and good, all are happy, a new member is joining the family, both mother and child will survive, if not, both may lose their lives “after a painful 9-month duration, which is equal to Mat 20:16 “So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen”

II. What God said the most primary commandment in Christianity:

Mark 12:28-31
......asked him, Which is the first commandment of all?
29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:

30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.

31And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.(period)

Jesus himself declared, first is to love God with all our heart, soul and mind, and then the immediate thing to follow is love your neighour as thyself. (like Good Samaritan and love your own brother whom you see with your own eyes, if not how can you see the God who is unseen) These are the fundamental commandements too to follow. YOU DON NOT HAVE TO CONFUSE WITH MANY DOCTRINES.

Judgment

2009-07-24T04:51:00.000-07:00

Though god said many things about high spirituality (look of a lust itself is adultery) and said our own righteousness is like torn rag he finally judging the congregation only based on their virtue. He simply said to the people on the right side (For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.).

33He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.
34"Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.'

37"Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?'

40"The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'

41"Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.'

44"They also will answer, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?'

45"He will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.'

46"Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life."

Matthew 7:22-23

22Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

23And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

"Not the people who conducted big healing crussades, built big churches, but the ones who considered the next person as a human being, they are the ones will enter the Kingdom of God. So consider the person next to you, share the same love you show to yourself."

Why This Was Not Taught In Pentecost

2009-07-24T04:38:00.000-07:00

So he said to them, “When you pray, say: Father, may your name be honored; may your kingdom come. 3 Give us each day our daily bread, 4 and forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And do not lead us into temptation.”

WHILE THE BIBLE SAYS HERE PRAY NOT TO FALL IN TEMPTATIONS WHY THESE SO CALLED SUPER SPIRITUAL PASTORS ARE PREACHING TO WELCOME TEMPTATIONS WITH RED CARPET? While the verses for first days of spiritual life says to pray not to fall into temptations why these pastors have never taught us this prayer, Mat 5 ch,??? THEY ARE SPIRITUAL ARROGANTS.

Also Bible says in James 1:12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.

When he said the above why did it say in 1 Timothy 2:1-2
Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, [and] giving of thanks be made for all men for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence.

IF YOU DO NOT HAVE TO LIVE IN PEACE, ALWAYS TROUBLED LIKE IN WARS (SRI LANKA) THEN WHY THE ABOVE VERSE WAS GIVEN TO US?

Spiritual Bermuda Triangles

2009-07-12T09:06:00.000-07:00

Dear Friends you are aware of what is a Bermuda Triangle on the globe. In short, it is a secret death trap, a challenge for this latest science. visit www.bermuda-triangle.org/ for details.

But such Bermuda Triangles exist in Bible too? YES.

1. You know Jezabel and Naboth story. Why God did not protect Naboth at the first place? God cursed Jezabel but the dead Naboth did not come alive no! Stand in the shoes of Naboth you will understand Naboth's pain.

2. Cain killed Abel. Here also, God cursed Cain, but Abel did not come alive or he was not protected no! What he lost is lost only no!

3. In the same way, Uriah, the David's soldier. He was killed, his wife was taken away by the same annointed man of God, the David. Even if God cursed him Uriah did not come alive no! What was done cannot be undone right! that too a King standing against a small man .... God also did not save him!!!!

4. And what about the seed that fell into the thorns? The mistake is of seed? Was there anyone who found it and replanted it in a good ground? Thorns will suppress the word in you very much. Be careful.

Then why these loud speakers always say God will never leave you nor forsake you?

What more about the people trapped under the house which was pulled down by the foolish woman? (Proverbs 14:1 Every wise woman buildeth her house; But the foolish plucketh it down with her own hands)

What about the thousands and lacs of children killed when Moses was born and Jesus was born? why they were not saved by the almighty God? Can you think of yourself being one among them?

THINK, THINK THE DARKER SIDE THAT IS NOT PREACHED

Where is the Good Samaritan?

2009-05-16T01:51:00.001-07:00

This is only up to the stage preaching and sermons, not to apply to their own lives. Tell me which pastor is taking care of his own church member's physical needs? They are running away from the problem facing believers.

PREFACE

2009-05-14T05:22:00.001-07:00

This blogspot is all about how the Pentecostal churches now in India are misleading, misinterpreting the Bible verses to its own members, finally causing many families to breakup and going away from God, and making their lives more and more miserable in spite of what has been promised in the Bible for the followers (Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. -Matt 11:28)The following verses have been misinterpreted by the so-called spiritual leaders in the name of Holy Spirit, which are the veins and arteries of the Christianity. They always understood the Bible in a wrong way and boast themselves that they are highly spiritual, super spiritual and they follow the Bible literally as it is written, which is not supposed to be; the spiritual meaning only has to be taken. Also, they teach a lot, but they themselves will not follow, they do a lot of ministry but they don’t expect results finally resulting in “Mat 19:30 But many who are first will be last, and the last first.”Following are some major verses, which they use as their principle...

Why Naboth and Uriah died? Is Self Protection a Sin?

2009-05-14T05:21:00.001-07:00

You know how Naboth died. It was a conspiracy of the queen, Jezabel, to kill him for his forefather's land. It was a total conspiracy by the queen herself so nobody could save him. Though God cursed the King Ahab Naboth did not come alive no! What was lost is lost! So, it is better to be careful while we are alive. If we are too innocents, things will happen what they tend to happen to others. We don't know if he had any children, wife. Possibly he would have a wife and children, even they too did not claim for the justice, they were left dumbstruck and hopeless orphans. He did not have single person to ask for the justice!!

Also in the Uriah's case King David himself conspired against him, there was not a single fellow soldier to help Uriah. Such a saint, his name written in Bible, lost his life and wife.

What more about thousands and lacs of children died when Moses and Jesus were born? Should so many children die? God cannot spare them? What we learn out of these incidents is, things will happen to all, as usual in the world, we only have to be careful.

The begger, Lazurus, was always waiting at the gates of rich man, he was filling his stomach with the left outs. Why, would he not dreamed of eating a single morsel out of his own pot? Should he end his life as a begger? There cannot be improvement in his life? What happened to all the promises of prosperity in the Bible? He should have thrived for a better life.

So, trying for a better life, to secure ourselves and our belongings is not a sin against God as some pastors explain.

What is The Role of A Body/Physical Requirement

2009-05-14T05:16:00.000-07:00

1) Genesis 2:7 says

"And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul."

While he created rest of the creature by his word, he created the man by taking dust of the ground into his hands, he did that.

2) Jesus too took the form of flesh, which he himself confirms in Luke 24:39

"Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have."

When so much importance is given in both Old Testament and New Testament for body/flesh/physical existance why these over-righteous preachers are despising the flesh/the need of physical activities? Are they more than God?

Jehovah could as well create man with his own word. Not only that, Jesus too would have generated salvation by his own word. What does this show? This clearly shows the need of body and the pain to bear with it.

Just because God said Jeremiah 32:2 "Is there anything too hard for me", Luke 17:6 "If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you" it does not mean you can complete the work just with prayer and faith alone. YOU NEED TO PUT YOUR EFFORT THERE. YOU NEED TO WORK HARD FOR THAT. If not, why so much toil? Pray and get your one month salary without working! Possible?

If that is possible Jesus would have ordered "let there be salvation" - one word, salvation is created!

How The Life is Expected To Be? Like in Luke 14:26?

2009-05-14T05:13:00.000-07:00

I Thimothy 2:1-2 says "I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty." What does this mean? St. Paul wants us to live peaceful life, not to struggle with life as some preachers teach nowadays

Also, when Jesus said in Mark 12:31 "And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these." Take into consideration "love ..... as thyself." What does this mean? FIRST LOVE YOURSELF (your body, mind, spirit, your family, your dependents) and now extend this love to your neighbour. Whereas what these overrighteous preachers are doing is, they are taking into consideration only the first part of the verse and leaving behing the second part. Also, indirectly, if you cannot love yourself and your family you cannot give a right advice to your neighbour too.

1 John 4:20 says "If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?" What does this mean? You need to love the people whom you see with your, then naturally peace prevails. Whereas our superrighteous preachers are preaching hate your brother, hate your father, hate your family and so on.. and we are the highest level spiritual people. Though the Bible says clearly in Luke 14:26 this is the endstage preaching, i.e. most high level. He says clearly "for my sake" means for salvation sake. Read like this "for salvation sake if any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple." Clear? This will never mean you pick up quarrell with your family and desert the family and leave the kids on the streets. BE CAREFUL, you are answerable for such acts; you are responsible for your family. If everyone of us have to beget children and leave them on the streets and quote Luke 14:26 we are nothing less than dogs and pigs on the streets. We are not humans. God has given that selfishness, possessiveness in us to take care of the family. Be careful about the word twisters and who spoil the families. Be careful that no one leads you astray. Be careful about the tricky interpretations and interpretators. THESE ARE THE LAST DAYS.

Pentecostal Superstitions

2009-03-25T23:09:00.001-07:00

*****

Mat 6:33 Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

This verse was misinterpreted and mistranslated as just take the baptism alone, you will be provided with whatever you need.

If that is true why should you study, work, earn run business and carry out your life? If that is true, you can always be on your knees, you will get everything done……right? So basically everybody wants to get freebies from God, but it is not so. We have to toil and God will bless that.

“What he meant here is don’t go after your shadow, you go your way, the shadow will follow you.”

Present Authority and Government

2009-03-25T23:08:00.001-07:00

*****

Romans 13:1-4

Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. 2Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves. 3For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same.

Though it is written to obey the authority it does not mean to everybody is good. God is saying about the formation of the Government and its rule. Nothing less than that.

Today, the most corrupt are the governments. With authority in hand there is not a single corrupt way left out. See how many scams going on around you. Don’t be worried about these but be aware of what is going on around you.

Family and Church

2009-03-25T22:57:00.000-07:00

While a person joins Christianity that day itself he is disowned by his family, relatives, society, caste, creed and religion. If anything happens to him no body will come forward. If that is the case who will take care of that person? On top of it if the pastor also takes no responsibility for him what will his state on a long run? Don’t say God is there to take care of him. Yes I agree, then why a pastor is appointed for a church. God will look after the church also no!

Why no Movies and TV?

2009-03-23T23:58:00.000-07:00

*****

Romans 12:3 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

This does not mean dont watch TV and movies. If the church restricts so much then it should arrange for a special meeting every week to know about what is going on around you. If not, then how will the new generation knows the craftiness of this world and be careful to that?

Bearing the Temptation II

2009-03-23T23:54:00.000-07:00

Bearing the temptation, the actual meaning of it is, when you stand for the truth, for God, you will have too many and powerful enemies in front of you. That can be your own family, your own village, society, corruption, government, politics, finance, caste, creed, religion, education, job etc. it can be anything that will strongly oppose you from even to lead a one day life. At the worst case, even the pastor who preached you all these will stand against you. According to the Bible even though it is said

James 1:12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.

James 1:2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;

And
Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose (very importantly)

In order to teach the above verses they give different examples such as unless the wood tolerates the pain by the carpenter that will not become a good furniture. It has to allow and bear the pain of chisel it won’t become a good creature. Likewise a cloth also has to undergo the pain the needle going and coming out several times through it, then only a good embroidery will come out. In the same way boiling milk also. It is important that you boil the milk. If you over boil it, you will see only charred and stinking flakes, not the milk.

This way I can tell many more examples. To learn anything there should be a trainer accompanying us. Otherwise it will not be perfect. The teacher should have learned and practiced first and then should teach us. Let it be learning swimming or learning martial arts or learning medicine and taking drugs.

A good fighter will first show how to handle a sword. A good swimmer will demonstrate how to swim. A good doctor will diagnose well and give the correct drug and the dosage.

Nobody will say you go and learn, I will give all theoretical lessons, but I don’t know how to swim. He should not say keep flapping your hands and legs in the waters, don’t lose faith, God will guide you, and finally push you overboard into the deep ocean. What will happen? Moreover you will die.

Any fighter will not just instruct and allow you to take sword to fence. He will first strengthen your body to be able to take the sword into yours hands first. Then he will teach you not to injure yourself at the first place. He will teach how to defend yourself and then how to offend. Nobody will hand over the sword straight away. If he does so, the opponent need not to injure you, but you yourself injure yourself and start bleeding, finally the enemy will laugh at you.

In the same way a good doctor will first diagnose your disease, prescribe the medicine with correct dosage. Of course, all medicines are for us only, so he will not at once prescribe a TB medicine for a simple cough or a HIV medicine for a simple itching and say take this, while it cures TB and HIV why not your cough and itching? And take it in as much as you get to your hands? No never. Only cough medicine should be given for cough, in the same way for itching or headache with particular dosage.

This is the way nowadays so-called highly spiritual leaders are giving over dosages, they are spraying tablets onto the people, and the people are getting wrong drug. The result is chaos in the church. It is true they are taking only the Bible verses only, but that is not healing their problem, but it is worsening.

Can you give straight away an infant meat soup just because you can digest well and it is good for you. Give it and see what happens; the soup what you gave for strength will kill that little child.

Another example, just because you have HCL in your stomach, in order to digest soon if you take concentrated HCL what will happen? Your whole GI system itself will get digested. Be careful.

One more example. You know, for example, pepper is good for health. If you keep preaching days and nights about pepper and its medicinal value and thereby start taking kilos and tons of pepper, what will happen? So, all these examples suggest you a balanced food intake is always healthy. Just because pepper is good for health you can take a few seeds extra, but you cannot prepare the whole dish with only pepper.

I can give you plenty of examples like this.

In the same way for a newly baptized person if you give the final dosage of verse Luke 14:26 If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple and tell him to get departed from his own family; for a carnal eye it looks you preached the word and what he practiced too is the word of God, but his end position will be pathetic. God is not a God of divisions.

In the same way word says in Isaiah 2:22 Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of ? If you use it in a happy family you think the family will not break into pieces?

The word is not meant for that. You should know where to use which verse. You should know which weapon to use at what place or what punishment to give for what mistake. You cannot give a big punishment for a small mistake right !?

This is what happening in most of the Pentecostal churches especially in the name of revelation. God has already revealed everything. Only thing is we have to find them in correct place. Don’t joint them wrongly. If at all God has to reveal you something, it will be like what Paul himself saw 2 Cor 12:2 I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven. You wont be able to open your mouth man! There are lot more things in this practical world that we have to learn and practice and see a practical Christianity and not a fantasy Christianity. God created the universe, the nature will teach you all.

And finally these preachers are becoming the owners of the verse Matthew 23:4 They tie up burdens that are heavy and unbearable and lay them on people's shoulders, but they refuse to lift a finger to remove them.

These people only will say “this is not my problem” when they have to really help us and when we stand for their mercy. They say I was called only to preach, not to lead you. When you happen to see what standard of Christianity they are living, it will be much worse than the outsider. The person who is supposed to turn the other cheek will say “before you do something, I will take that weapon into my hands” Is this what Bible says! Is this what so-called super spiritual firebrand preachers following now?

Moreover this period is also like a period of pregnancy. While you try to give birth to child you might lose your own life or both lives. So, you know pretty well how a pregnant woman is cared for.

One thing we should take into consideration to be more careful not to lose ones faith finally. Because the same problems can cause you move away from the path of salvation totally.

To Bear The Temptation

2009-03-23T23:52:00.000-07:00

This is advocate by all categories alike to bear with temptations according to the following verses

1 Corinthians 10:13 No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.

James 1:12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.

James 1:2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;

1 Peter 1:6 Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:

2 Peter 2:9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:

Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

But nobody has the guts to say like St. Paul 1 Corinthians 11:1 Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ. Today everybody is a teacher, from the pulpit. There is not a single guide, who accompanies you.

All the above verses were written to the churches, but not to the pastors. So, from this we can clearly understand that carrying one’s cross is different from enduring temptations and when he says the cross it purely shows hardships due to ministry and temptations means fight to stand for the truth and that is the good fight of faith. We should never compare them with the normal family altercations; these are normal, and will exist in everyone’s lives. Either these problems or the punishment you receive for what wrong you have done cannot be included into this category. What is being done extra for the mankind only is calculated as carrying cross or bearing temptations. If you say family problems are your cross, then all the gentiles are carrying the same thing!

The misinterpretation in this part is these preachers do not know what is needed and what is not needed. That is, hardship can be divided into two, one is domestic and the other is spiritual. The domestic one is not accounted actually as carrying one’s cross, but the spiritual. Regarding domestic problems, these have to be dealt carefully with all responsibility and with conscience, i.e. Matt 5:37 But let your speech be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: – quite straight forward. (it is possible in a family if the head of the family follows with upright conscience) It is mistaken by many the domestic problems to the spiritual problems, thereby they are circling there only round and round.

In terms of ministry, faith, sacrifice, love, endurance, long-suffering, family, right, care, responsibility, leadership etc. all are being messed up in the name of revelation. These pastors each one will get each one revelation and that go against each other. One day the same mouth will contrary with what once he preached.

Lets discuss below one by one with reference to the verses.

The first and foremost principle of Christianity is to show the other side of the cheek, but this itself is a higher-end preaching. Let me explain how.

Matthew 5:39-41
I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also. And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.

This has been understood and preached literally. Suppose the next person hits you the third time you will return all that he hit you? Only that much is your patience? Do you think life is only this much? Of course Phil 2:8 says “And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.”

As an extension of this, we tend to meet different situations in one’s lifetime. Say for example if a man hits you on your cheek first time you will turn the other too. Well and good.

Since you kept silence the first time, if he takes away your money, then also you will keep quiet, well and good this too is tolerable.
So, the next time he wants to take away your property, you will give it? Difficult to decide no! that too you need to send him with two portions.
Again he comes and asks your wife. Will you send her with him?
Then he comes back and asks your daughter, you will send the second daughter also? Are these possible? You don’t have responsibility to protect your dependents? You don’t have responsibility to keep some savings to your children?

If you keep on losing like this …. then finally, why should a country have military? When the enemy is asking you why don’t you give and go exile? Why all the christian countries are fighting back with military. Why so much, why God himself asked Israelites to go for war?

This is the place we have to differentiate between carrying ones cross (sacrifice) and the (defence) right to live and exist or caring for the dependents. Do you remember Jesus also once took the whip into his hands? But at the end of his ministry, while he had to carry his cross “he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.”

Can you now see the vast difference? The people who preached one thousand times --- did they ever preach this difference and taught about the defence? to claim their rights? and the care for ones family? (I will relate this to Matthew 22:39 in another context.)

If you are going to show me the verse Matthew 6:28-34 (And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: 29…30…shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? 31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? 32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. 33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. 34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: ….thereof.) does this mean to be lazy and be careless for tomorrow? Read this and see what this verse says! Proverbs 6:6-8 (Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise: 7 Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler, 8 Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest.)

So, God does not want us to be lazy because he cares for us. He wants us to be busy, hardworking, and laborious and he will bless our toil.

If you don’t agree with me then why should we study, get a job and work, earn, buy things, do business, and why this life cycle is needed? It is just enough if we stay on our knees, we will get our breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Carrying The Cross

2009-03-23T23:51:00.001-07:00

Luke 14:27 And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.

This was instructed strictly to the disciples only. Disciples are the 12 apostles, not the crowd, which followed him. So, they are the people who actually have to follow the first condition.

The cross is Matthew 5:11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake and I Peter 4:14 If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.

Also according to Mark 16:15-16 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

Preaching gospel and baptizing is done, and that is only done here, but they are forgotten once they enter the church. This is very concerning today.

But the second law is totally forgotten. Matthew 22:39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

They are more clever today, they don’t want to get their hands dirt. They are not persecuted for the righteousness sake. Matthew 5:10-11 Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

Leave alone getting persecuted for righteousness sake, they have totally forgotten about the Good Samaritan parable which follows Matthew 22:39. They preach it thousand times others to follow, but they are least bothered about their own church believers and they never follow that.

They say if you don’t share gospel their blood will be on you, but if they don’t care for their own church believers their blood will not be on them?

And the misleading and misguiding follows as below;

Celibacy and Hating Own Family?

2009-03-23T23:49:00.000-07:00

1. If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. Luke 14:26 (KJV)

Explanation: This verse is central theme of some churches those who strictly follow celibacy in their ministry. They encourage only singles. If married couple is joining the ministry, they will be separated at the time of joining. Mother, father, and kids wont know where the other person is getting transferred for the rest of the life.

In the same way, they preach so much that the church believers themselves will start assuming God is calling them to the ministry and they start denying their own family, and resign their beautiful central government jobs.

They give too much emphasis to the word “hate” and misunderstand it to “leave”. So, now read the verse.

If any man come to me, and leave not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.

When they start to neglect their own family bondage, finally the family will stand on the road. This will not bring glory to God! Right?

Ok, they left father, mother, wife, children etc. etc… in the same way why they did not leave their lives? Why they did not take poison and commit suicide? - Is it clear now how they misunderstood the word?

Now see the controversy for this verse, what God says about a family.

Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. Matthew 19:6
Can God contradict himself with his own blessing? ……Not possible.

Need of Tradition for Christianity

2009-03-21T07:01:00.000-07:00

****

In Bible not such a big importance was given for Christian way of lifestyle/rituals. Less importance was given for lifestyle. Except at a very few places here and there, sparingly, family issues were mentioned in the Bible.

It was said strictly how a married life should be in Heb 13:4 Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.

About children and youth, their obedience to the parents, Proverbs speaks considerably.

About husband, wife and family Col 3:18,19, Eph 5:22, 1 Pet 3:1,7, 1 Tim 3:12, Tit 2:4,5, 1 Cor 7:3 verses speak. Old testament also speaks a little about this.

But life is not only this much. As far as how a marriage should be conducted, how a birth of a child should be taken care of, how a death and cremation should be carried out, and distribution of property matters were not given a concrete teaching.

All is well as long it goes well, but if the problems arise what is the benchmark for the Christianity to refer back to? For example Jesus said in Luke 9:62 Leave the dead to bury their own dead; but as for you, go and proclaim the kingdom of God. So, does it mean literally leave a parent’s dead body on the road and go about preaching to the world? If so how many so called highly spiritual leaders at least have following this verse?

Because the family issues will rise out of these things, we need to be aware of how to deal with things with respect to family ceremonies, celebrations, etc. Not only this, life is lot more involved with responsibilities in general life, social life, church life, legal matters like property etc. If these things are not dealt with carefully again we start losing peace and thereby we lose harmony in spiritual life too. Then our life will become like the seed fell among the thorns.

Pentecostals say no need of any rituals. If so, why do they stress baptism should only be given immersed? And they stress too much on non-ornamental wearing and mostly white dress only? If you don’t have rituals/some order to handle things finally all families will end up in chaos and our pastors too will wash their hands saying that is not their job and they will direct so-many-years Christians to face the court. Is it not shame for the church? Living without ritual is equal to living without clothe on one’s body.

Every religion, caste and creed have their own way of doing things. If so, why not Christians?

Jesus did no give any importance to the rituals because none of our rituals are going to be counted as righteousness in the judgment day. Poor or rich, educated or uneducated, all are same in front of the judgment seat.

That is a very high view from God. So, can we live without a Christian way and appear very disgusting to the gentiles? Recently, especially Pentecostal people are disliked by gentiles. They are driven away and their sons and daughters are not taken in marriages, moreover they themselves are becoming unsuitable candidates for family life. They talk so much about heaven and earth, but basically they lack common sense how to live and cooperate with the next person, be it a neighbor, a friend, an official, an authority or who ever it is. They have become like stiff-necked. All this is the result of orderlessness.

If not given in the Bible, we can always go back to our Judaism and borrow their style of life according to New Testament no! Why not?

Poor Tolerance

2009-03-19T07:25:00.000-07:00

*****

It appears as though the teaching is of very high standard and they teach too much about rightousness and holiness at the ground level, but the leave a gaping hole at the higher level. So, things which seem okay for today will not workout after some time. And it is applicable only as long as you dont come into the world or when you are backed up by their parents. Once you come out into the world and start facing the world you will find it very difficult to cope up with the wrotteness and wickeness of the world and you will get puzzled about what you have been tought and what is happening in front of you and you cannot adjust with anyone.

What is the State of Our Society and Public

2009-03-18T22:45:00.001-07:00

*****

It is a time where one cannot be bold and righteous regarding good things. Whereas bad people are more free and bold and moving around us. See the amount of corruption, wickedness, food shortage, joblessness, in our country. Where is the law and order? Which is police station is helping us? Which court is helping us? Or which pastor or church is helping us? We cannot even earn enough for our livelihood. It is more than enough we live well and with good testimony and show the next generation a good way to carry on. If at all we can be delivered from these, not police, not court, not pastor or relatives if your own parents can speak something good about you you will be delivered. And if they themselves turn against you, no Jehovah or Jesus can help you. So the Pentecost is doing deliberately this kind of a valuable job - breaking up families. Even though all of them don’t practice they preach and support anywhere from 1% to 100%.

Roaring Lion That Devours

2009-03-18T06:24:00.000-07:00

1 Peter 5:8

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour …(under construction)

Serious problems like falling into sins, dreaded diseases, family breakage, bad friendship (means drug trafficking, smuggling, murders, etc.) when you fall into these things it will be almost impossible to come to a normal life. Also, being innocent to all the above also dreadful thing. Because once you become a target to wrong doer, he will not leave without killing you. These professional killers will wait for their turn and once they draw sword out from their sheath, they will not put it back even if you are an innocent. The same way, even if it is a wrong police case or a court case. They will file cases one after another on top of an innocent and want to clear their pending cases.

Also, How the devil devours us, what are his ways. NOT ONLY TO MAKE YOU BACKSLIDE, FALL INTO SIN as usually preached, but also getting entangled in unsolvable problems that may be even because of your too much of ignorance/innocence.

Like becoming a victim to wrong police case, court case, rowdism, wars and catastrophe, natural calamities, continuous downfall, also witchcraft.

I Cor 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you, but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
What Paul mentions here is only the common problems that exist from home to home, and person to person only. These will not include kidnapping, murders, betrayal or such, These will get solved with the help of people next to you, because they are within understandable range. Just because the above verse says so, if you cross a certain limit and allow yourself to fall victim of murder cases, drug trafficking, national or international level crimes, witchcrafts, nobody can deliver you. You have to suffer the punishment, and unable to bear the pain you will deny God. (Why I am saying this is, when a member falls a victim of the above inhuman crimes, these blind are continuously stressing the above verse and making them dumb, ignorant, waste time and opportunity and when finally he becomes alone this pastor also says, this is not my problem and leaves you to your fate.)

Who killed Uriah, Ammonites or David?

2009-03-13T23:40:00.001-07:00

Dear all,

Who killed Uriah? Obviously it was David. Who is this Uriah? He was a renowned warrior for David, who was zealous for God, his motherland and his King. When the King himself offered him to go home and take rest with his wife he denied it and also the gift. He slept at the entrance only. When asked by the King why he did not go home he said in verse 11

Uriah said to David, "The ark and Israel and Judah are staying in tents, and my master Joab and my lord's men are camped in the open fields. How could I go to my house to eat and drink and lie with my wife? As surely as you live, I will not do such a thing!"

He is such a zealous warrior. David is a God’s elect, anointed by God himself, King of Israelites, who fought many wars for God. Nobody expects that such a king will play a cheap trick on Uriah. His zeal was taken advantage of by King David. He was arranged in the front row in the battlefield where he can get killed very easily.

The King himself who is supposed to be a protective wall around a city devoured his own trustworthy soldier.
No wonder if the enemy cheats you. Be careful, sometimes such a powerful men of God will rob you, cheat you and even kill you. My advice is, it is always better to be awake, vigilant, take care of yourself and your dependents as much as you can. Beyond that God should protect us. “Being alert does not mean you are against the will of God.” – as some pastors preach.
