Post 73 Don’t compromise the Word of God

Don’t compromise God’s word ever.  God always says what He means and means what He says.  However, especially, in this day and age, what many are doing and/or trying to do does not line up with the word of God.  Christianity is not now, nor ever will be, out of date.  It doesn’t need to be updated or changed.  What and who needs to change are the very ones trying to change it.

Those that insist on changing God’s word because of the “woke” culture, and the “sinning” culture, and so that they won’t offend anyone need to repent….and stop!  I know many churches have allowed false teachers in and just go along with what is happening.  God is not pleased with any of those churches and every pastor who goes along with this garbage will stand before God and give an account one day.  Why?  Because the false teachers are not teaching the truth of the word of God and because they are not…many won’t make it into heaven because somehow they now think that the sins they are committing are okay with God?  Why?  Because false teachers are telling them now it is okay.  You can’t call yourself a Christian and deliberately continue to stay in your sin.   These compromises yoke us with the world and subvert God’s truth. God’s Word hasn’t changed. Christ hasn’t changed. It would be you that thinks they have changed. 

“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, and today, and forever” (Hebrews 13:8).

So, who exactly is most to blame?   Satan has always tried to blind people against the truth and God warned the Jews against being deceived and tempted by the pagans around them, who worshipped false, satanic gods.  The devil is even more so at work deceiving people today.  He knows his end is near and he wants to destroy as many people as he can.  Don’t be deceived!  Learn the truth of God’s word and then do it! “Take heed to yourselves, that your heart is not deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them” (Deuteronomy 11:16).  How many, who call themselves  Christians, are being deceived because they really don’t know any of God’s word and just go along with what someone else tells them. Many just go along with the lies instead of saying what they are teaching are lies.

It is time to pick up your Bible and read it.  Learn of God and what He expects out of you.  Even the greatest pastors out there don’t get everything right.  Study what they say and see if it lines up with God’s word. If it doesn’t then don’t accept it.  You know how to read and study.  Be a person who wants the truth even if what you want (or think you want) isn’t the truth.  We are alive on this earth to learn and grow in Jesus.  We seem to make time for everything else.  It is now the end times, and we don’t have much more time to get things right.  Now is the acceptable time to make the right choices. 

To many, it is but a small step to destroy a person’s faith. The apostle John warned believers to abide by the doctrine of Christ. “Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son” (2 John 1:9).  Those are some powerful words.  Those false teachers that have crept into the church are not caring for the flock’s souls.  They do all they can to change the word of God and it is wrong to do such a thing.  There are many false teachers out there who say publicly that all paths lead to heaven. Is that true? The answer is in the Bible, and the answer is an absolute NO!!!  There is only one way to heaven and that is if Jesus Christ is your Lord and Savior and you have a personal relationship with Him.  

“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” (John 14:6). Think on this.  You might be claiming to be a Christian and someone tells you there are many ways to get to heaven.  Stop!  Don’t believe it because if you are a Christian then you need to believe the very one you claim to follow.  Doesn’t matter who says they are a good person or that there are many ways to heaven.  God is the authority on heaven and He says there is only one way there.  I’d believe Him if I were you.  You don’t want to miss heaven by believing lies.  Satan is the father of all lies and he is the author and leader of every false religion; he’s drawing multitudes down the path that leads to destruction. Don’t you be one of those that miss heaven because you believed the lies?

Don’t twist Scripture to try to make it condone your sins or to make it say something different than what it plainly says.   You study God’s word so you know when someone is lying to you.  I don’t care how many people are in a church…that is not what God goes by.  All roads do not lead to salvation, but too many Christians aren’t based on God’s Word and are willing to embrace lies. Don’t you be one of them?  You can not remold the word of God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   Christianity is not there to change no matter this modern insane culture we are living in today.   All false teachers attack Christ and His deity. One example is that Satan would have people believe the god the Muslims worship the same as the Christian God. They don’t.  Our God is absolutely nothing like theirs.  Our God, Jesus Christ, shed His blood for us, their God is a god of bloodshed.  Our God is full of love, compassion, and forgiveness while theirs does not.  (my opinion)  You can change and reject Jesus at any time and go wherever you want to go…God allows freedom of choice while theirs does not.  You tell them you are going to become a Christian and you will have to watch your back. I have the freedom of choice to believe in God or reject Him.  I choose God because I know He is real and I have hope in Him.   There is only one way to heaven and that is through faith in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Changing God’s truth doesn’t update it…it turns it into a lie.

Where did deception begin on this earth?  In the Garden of Eden.  Satan lied to Eve and she fell for it.  She had a choice and she chose wrong and because of her choice we are not in the place where God intended us to be.  The moment they sinned and ate that fruit all of our lives changed.  Don’t be ensnared by the devil.  He is a liar, a cheat, and a murderer.

No one has all the answers but God.  Adam and Eve sinned, and they had everything including a personal relationship with God.  If they could be fooled, don’t you think you can be too? Mankind lies, steals, cheats, and deceives.   “God is not a man, that he should lie” (Numbers 23:19a). Don’t compromise God’s Word. You be that one in even a thousand who does the right thing even if you are the only one doing so.  It is your soul that is at stake so don’t give it away to the enemy.

As you look around today at society just look at our schools.  The lies, deceptions, and evil they are being taught.  Why?  Why are they doing this to our precious kids?  They start with little lies and deceptions, and they tell them the lies long enough that pretty soon they have brain-washed our kids and when we tell them the truth…they think their teachers are smarter than their parents and God.   Many attempts at compromise are targeted at young adults and children. Our schools are a source of Satan’s lies designed to bring into question God’s truth on every level. Everywhere we turn when it comes to schools leaves God out of the equation and accept the sins of the world as being true. 

Satan is working hard to steal our children’s souls and he appears to be winning. Children (many) now think that their parents are the problem, and some think their parents know nothing.  We have allowed the devil and his cohorts into our schools and our children’s lives, and we seldom do anything about it. Take a stand, people.  Stand up and fight for your children.  If you don’t, they will lose their very soul and you will lose them. Many people do nothing more than give lip service as           Christians anymore.  They don’t want to go against this insane “woke” culture that is nothing more than the devil’s trick.  Shame on us. “Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said…” (Genesis 3:1a). Satan places doubt in a person and tricks them into believing a lie.  He tricked Eve in the garden and it sure did not stop there.   If Satan can place doubt in a person’s mind and get him to question God’s absolute truth then the forbidden fruit will be tempting and God’s word will be compromised. Compromise doesn’t always come quickly.  A little lie here and there and before one knows it they have been compromised.

Jesus Christ is the most important part of Christianity. Don’t compromise God’s Word and diminish who He is. He is God Almighty and the creator.  He is the very one who came down to this earth and died for each of us so that we could make it to heaven.  Don’t throw that away.  Jesus is the very center of Christianity.  It is His church and He doesn’t want false teachers to reside in it. 

If you are a church-going Christian and if the church you are a part of isn’t Christ-centered and Bible-based, they have compromised God’s Word. Stop!  Don’t go along with it.  Again, God does not change His word for anyone.  He doesn’t say sin is okay now because you want to sin.  Jesus must always be the focus of the church.  Without Him you don’t have a church…you have a compromised devil church. Stop allowing the perversion of God’s word. 

We all know people are looking for something in their life.  However, if you don’t have Jesus as the first one in your life you don’t have anything.  God must be first.  His truth is everlasting no matter who or what you think you can change or go along with. Many in the church today just want to believe that God will accept their sins because some false teachers tell them that He will.  He won’t!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You very well might be one of those who even believe that God’s word can and should be changed…but who are you?  Are you God Almighty?  No!  If you want to make it to heaven (and I pray that you do) then stop thinking and believing somehow you can change God into going along with the lies of Satan…the deceiver.  You can’t modernize the word of God! 

“And I will come near to you to judgment, and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith the LORD of hosts. For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed” (Malachi 3:5-6).

God knew there would be those who would distort the gospel and He had the apostle John warn against it.  Shouldn’t we listen to God and stop while we can?   “If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds” (2 John 1:10-11).  Many false doctrines are going around out there.  Stop listening.  You search the scriptures and stop trying to make them fit what you want them to say.  Just stop!

In these last days are we not seeing a push to accept evil as good and good as evil? The Bible said that this would happen in the end times.   “Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!” (Isaiah 5:20).

For evil men to succeed they need to change God’s Word and make it seem as if Bible-believing Christians are narrow-minded, don’t know anything, and they sure are trying to get the non-Christians to take God out of everything.   Study the word of God and don’t compromise God’s word. Our Lord died for our sins, and He is the only way to the Father. People can only make sin seem acceptable if they change God’s word and call evil good. You can’t ever change God’s word no matter what you say or how hard you try.  God’s word is absolute truth.  God has not changed, nor has God’s inerrant Word changed. You can lie all you choose to do but no lie changes the truth of God’s word or will ever stop God from being God or doing what God wants to do.  We, as Christians or non-Christians can change what we do, what we say we believe, where we go, and whom we hang out with…but God never changes.   “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever” (Hebrews 13:8).

Compromise will cost you at some point.  Might not happen right away but it will happen.  Compromise will rob you of blessings.  Compromise will cost you godly protection of your soul. Compromise will ruin your witness.  Whenever you are enticed to compromise…don’t.  Never compromise your Christianity.  Don’t get yourself into a situation where you will compromise, let down your guard against deception, or be distracted to sin.  You be a discerning person and you do that by actually knowing the word of God and doing it.

 

Scriptures are being rejected by many nowadays.  Many just out-and-out reject the word of God.  If they don’t change, they will face the very wrath of God one day.  What things go on in a church these days that do not bring one closer to God?  I look at a lot of the churches out there and I don’t even see Jesus in them.  You, be the Christian, that without apology and compromise stands on the very word of God no matter what.  You are the one that stands for truth.  We are in the army of God and we have a mission and that is to tell others about Jesus.  Let’s get to work church.
