Consequences of Hating the Truth (Part 2)
Description
Proverbs 23:23
Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.
2 Timothy 4:1-5
I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; 2Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. 3For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. 5But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.
LET PREACHERS DECLARE THE TRUTH FROM THE WORD OF GOD IN SEASON AND OUT OF SEASON EVEN IF WE ARE PERSECUTED AND KILLED FOR IT. WHEN THE JUDGEMENT COMES THEY WILL KNOW THAT THERE WAS A TRUE PROPHET IN THEIR MIDST WHO PROCLAIMS THE TRUTH IN LOVE WITHOUT FEAR OR FAVOR
Jeremiah 1:17
Thou therefore gird up thy loins, and arise, and speak unto them all that I command thee: be not dismayed at their faces, lest I confound thee before them.
Proverbs 29:25
The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe.
TO MANY THE HOUSE OF PRAYER HAS BECOME THE HOUSE OF ENTERTAINMENTTHE SINGING AND THE DANCE IN GOD’S HOUSE CANNOT BE DISTINGUISHED FROM THAT OF THE WORLD.
Amos 2:11-12
And I raised up of your sons for prophets, and of your young men for Nazarites. Is it not even thus, O ye children of Israel? Saith the LORD. 12 But ye gave the Nazarites wine to drink; and commanded the prophets, saying, Prophesy not.
EZEKIEL 33:30-33
Also, thou son of man, the children of thy people still are talking against thee by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak one to another, every one to his brother, saying, Come, I pray you, and hear what is the word that cometh forth from the LORD. 31And they come unto thee as the people cometh, and they sit before thee as my people, and they hear thy words, but they will not do them: for with their mouth they shew much love, but their heart goeth after their covetousness. 32And, lo, thou art unto them as a very lovely song of one that hath a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument: for they hear thy words, but they do them not. 33And when this cometh to pass, (lo, it will come,) then shall they know that a prophet hath been among them.
The heavenly principles that distinguish those who are one with Christ from those who are one with the world have become almost indistinguishable. The professed followers of Christ are no longer a separate and peculiar people. The line of demarcation is indistinct. The people are subordinating themselves to the world, to its practices, its customs, its selfishness. The church has gone over to the world in transgression of the law, when the world should have come over to the church in obedience to the law. Daily the church is being converted to the world. – {Christ Object Lessons p. 315.3}
ONE CAN PERISH WHILE BEING A BAPTIZED MEMBER OF THE CHURCH UNLESS THEY STRICTLY ADHERE TO THE WORD OF GOD
1 Corinthians 10:1-7
Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; 2And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; 3And did all eat the same spiritual meat; 4And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ. 5But with many of them God was not well plea
