The Church Copying the World; Part 1

Filed under: Great Religion Tips — admin @ 2:17 pm

Is there anyone, seeing what I’m seeing in this world? What’s going on? Do we not care about what’s happening in this world? How come know one is out there making a proclamation of what’s happening to this world of ours?

Where is the Church, or the Church Leaders? Well, the church and their leaders have become so weaken, so worldly, so double-minded, so relaxed, they do not have a voice anymore. At this point, they do not even have worthy creditability, the church have literally fallen from Grace.

Reality is; the church sees the world as an idol, an idol that they love and worship. This may seem as though I’m being very harsh with the church, but the fact is, it’s the truth.

Let’s examine a few things about the modern church. I personally see the church today as a copy cat, that’s right a copy cat, whatever the world seek to do, the church eventually join in and it becomes a part of it. God says for us to be in the world but be not of the world. Are the people of God really that illiterate in their thinking when it comes to what God says about being in this world. A child would be more apt to understand what not being of the world mean, than what the church perceives it to mean. Just to state my case, lets take some examples:

(Rap): rap came out and most parents did not like it but could not do anything about it. So since it became acceptable, the church has picked it up, instead of singing they’re rapping. If parents and most of society did not care for rap (although it’s acceptable now) why would the church pick it up? They’re copy- cats, I’m certain they make the world feels as though it has competition.

(Dance): Christians now dance in church, literally hard down dance, no different than they do in some night- clubs. There’s a difference in dancing and shouting, The only kind of dance in the Bible is praise dance, which were done by beautiful half dress girls or young women of all the Pharaohs and Kings. There have never been any Holy women of God in the Old or New Testament dancing, before Moses, the Prophets, Teachers, or of any of the Apostles of God or even before God. When the Bible states a Holy dance to God it’s not the break dance, electric slide, or ballerinas flying up in the air with skin tights on with their legs wide open (How is this Glorifying God?). At best, this is not to Glorify God but entertainment in the eyes of the beholder. Copycats, it appears to me the church is more jealous of the world then the world is of the church. If not, then you tell me why the church fine it necessary to do what it sees the world do, seems like jealously to me.

But let the church tell it, they all would say, “Oh it all belongs to us, we’re suppose to have the best” no one is arguing that, I believe in having the best as well, in fact, I do have the best and that is, the life I live with Christ pleasing him not man. Your stupidity in copying what the world is doing is going to bring more havoc and pain to this world then your mind can even image

Do you know why it was that Christ was born in a barn and not a Palace? I guarantee most Bishops, Pastors and Ministers of God know not the revelation of this.

(Conversation): Here lies a major concern, conversation. Christians copy the world language, literally, word for word, case and point, you have Bishops, Pastors, supposedly Men of God, standing in God’s pulpit or on there stage with an audience full of what suppose to be men and women of God, Saints of God, Christian, or whatever you want to call them, that refer to their congregation of people as Guys or Man, while preaching God’s word. Being a Holy woman of God, I’m offended by a man calling himself a Bishop or Pastor and standing preaching to me or talking to me and all you can here come from his mouth as he talk is man, or you guys, since when did God change his beautiful creation of women to man, or you guys? If the secular world wants to use that terminology when talking then let them, after all, hell not monitoring their conversation, but you can believe Heaven is recording our conversation, and you would think the Bishop, Pastors and Men of God would be mindful of this.

Here again, you have Christians, copying the world and what the world has to offer it. It’s fine, when you have to correct a man that’s not thinking about God or consider him self save, but Its’ not fine, when it’s a Man of God. It really a shame, that some of these preachers, have absolutely no wisdom, when it comes to what they allow to come out of their mouth, if they had, they would often then not monitor their conversation. Do they not know some people are won by their conversation, if preachers are referring to an audience of women as, “you guys”, or “man”, you haven’t a clue as to God’s Kingdom, because there is no way a Man of God would refer to women of God as “you guys” or “man”. You can literally put these pools of preachers that use this terminology as babies still on milk.

Even top corporations send their business executives to schools to learn the proper usage of language, speaking properly, if you will. And these ministers suppose to be anointed by God and they do not know how to speak properly to a congregation of Christians and sinners?

The women in the church are just as bad, some of them wouldn’t know the proper biblical term of holding a decent holy conversation if their life depended on it. It’s just as repulsive to hear a woman say “man and you guys” when they are talking and holding a conversation with other women then it is to hear a secular woman use those terms when talking to other women. That’s’ the degrading of her value, she chooses to settle for. Its one thing for the women of the world to talk in that term, but when you have women calling themselves Holy women of God or Christian women, and they can’t separate or chose their choice of words more carefully then what the world does, then shame on them as women. They are no different and talk no differently then the women of the world, here again, copying the world. The Bible, have a great terminology for them “Foolish unlearned Women”. Course I personally prefer to them as clueless.

(Joking) another form of a lie or untruth told to make you laugh, the Bible say, let your conversation be yea- yea, and nay- nay. In other words, let your conversation be sound and to the point. Church folks do not understand this concept, they do more joking, jiving and gesturing then they do speaking the truth. Christians are forever picking up worldly words and slang words that do not glorify God or any sentences they use when speaking.

(Business Minded = Worldly Minded) Recent times have cause ministers to rename the church and church leaders as a business and businessmen. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with being sophisticated if indeed this is what the church chooses to believe it is. I just think the world should copy us by what we do and say and act and what we are and what we believe. Not by what they do and say and how they act and what they believe, which is no deceit for them, because they are serving satan, so there’s no imitating on there part, but plenty on our part. We, the Church are the copycats.

We know that the word of God never changes, what God said yesterday; the beginning, he means today, new testament time, my time and your time he still will mean it tomorrow (at the day of judgment). So while God’s word never changes, we do, time do, which is why we have life, life comes so that things can grow, evolve, and change, rather good or bad, things must change. But when they change, God intends for them to change in His favor not satan, we should not be partakers of him, he should be partakers of us.

God loves us, and I truly wonder how deeply do the Saints of God really realize and feel this about our Father in Heaven. The same love God has for us he wants us to have for others, I do not see were we have mastered his love yet. True most of us are getting there and some of us may already be there.

I got saved when I was 23, and no longer had the desire or need to put on make-up, jewelry or wear pants, and yet God placed me in a church where my Bishop did not preach solely against pants, and wearing make-up. And yet, although I did not wear make-up or pants as the Saints may have, it did not stop me from spending over 20 years of being a member there or of loving them and fellowshipping with them. God said for me to love, not to sit in judgment of anyone. God gave each of us a choice and that choice was to choose between life and death, and love and hate. Who gave me the authority to take away someone choice? While God gave me the authority to choose life and death, love and hate, he did not give me the authority to tell me that I must make you choose the choice I chose.

We are not puppets, driven by someone desire or will to think like them or do what they do. I think only God is driven by that desire and will for us to make our choice as to what it is we choose to do in this life, he did not give that choice for man to make, the decision for man, man has to make the decision for himself or herself, because after all, it will not be man that will put a person in hell over the wrong choice he made, but he himself.

So why then must we put stumbling blocks in front of people? Is it not my choice to choose rather or not I want to abort my child? Did not God give me my own will? Did he not tell me that if I choose life, I will have life and in having life, I can give life? Did he not tell me that if I choose death that I will have death and death would be born of me? So if God told me this, then why are you trying to take away my choice, why are you trying to force me to do something that your heart desires not, not mines. Did God not tell you to love me in spite of, but yet you crucify me, you kill doctors and burn clinics, all because I made the choice to abort the life in me. Why put a stumbling block in front of me because of my decision to rid life unto death, is that not what you are doing when you show me signs of hate because of my decision. When God said to love me, how do you not know by showing me love that I could not be won by you?

But if the church is going to fight with people over their decision to abort life or to have a gay partner, the church is just as bad as the world A woman having an abortion or a gay partner, is that any different then a woman getting married while in the church 2, 3 or more times, while confessing Holy Ghost filled and all 3 or more husbands are still alive. Did Jesus not tell the woman at the well, that the seventh husband she had were still not her husband. Having an abortion or a gay partner, is it any different then lying, stealing, cheating and defrauding? All is sin!

If you Pastors and Preachers are going to go to Capital Hill and fight against abortion rights and gay rights, then why are you not fighting against politician lying, stealing, cheating and defrauding? You know what you are? Unlearned Men of God with double standards, and God are going to get you for that. Mark my word!

This generation of people has caused the church to be a stumbling block to many people. Have it occurred to you that there are many hurting people in this world, that are in need of love and are wondering where is the church. I would say to them, “On Capital Hill fighting for the wrong things. God said for us to LOVE, not to put stumbling blocks in the way of people.

Our mission is salvation, not taking away a person choice, they have to give account of that not you, but you will give account of being a stumbling block to them for not seeing love in you enough to change their mind about abortion or being a gay person, Love Changes things not the laws that men put in place. Our mission is to love and take care of the poor, the fatherless, the widow, and the shut-ins. Who is crying out for them? I do not see one Pastor, Bishop, Religious leaders or Christian folks, on capital hill fighting the case for the homeless, the poor, when gas is $3.00 a gallon, bread 2.89 a loaf and milk $4.15 a gallon, do you not know the poor man and woman even the Christian poor man and woman have to pay the same price for their goods as the rich man. When prices of goods are high and still rising and yet the poor rate of pay has not risen. But if they are to survive they have to buy and pay the same grocery we have to buy and pay when the plain field is not level.

Which one of you Pastors or church are crying out on capital hill stating “the poor should not have to pay the same price for food or gas, that the rich pay, when they are making 6,7,8,9, 10 dollars an hour more or less. Yet you want to fight with women over aborting a fetus or having a gay partner, when there’s people right here in the United States living in poverty.

The church got it backward, the Church would win more souls to Christ if the nation saw Christian Leaders standing up fighting for poverty, health and welfare, which is not man choice, then to see the church standing up fighting over a choice that God gave all of us, not the church, he said for the church to love me not to be a hinder or stumbling block to me.

Dear friends, I love all of you every one of you, but I have to pay attention to how God feel about things, God forgive people for having abortion, he forgives, forget and love people like many gays that have changed, because, if they can change so can the next man and woman, but how can they when your fight on capital hill, television and radio show, shows them hate not love. I am just against abortion and gays as you are, but God did not put me on this earth to fight with them but to love them, just as he did not send me to a church to sit in judgment of them but to love them, so that my love for them will win them over to him.

Is it not obvious why so much is happening in this world today, do you not know that all lies from all those that have power will soon be reveal to the world, no hidden lie will ever be hidden, even if it comes from the President or the Vice President, God will reveal their wrong doing as well. One thing for sure, all you Preacher that think you are living Holy that your sins are forgiven and forgotten, please think again. If you cheated once guess what, it will be revealed, it will come to pass, Mark my word. Why? Your life doesn’t warren it to be hidden. Unto you Men of God start preaching the true word of God, word for word, worse things will happen to you.

My point in all this is it is the Church job as Followers of Christ too make the case for the poor that are among us. There are people that are in need of Christ love and the only way they can see Christ love and be won by it is by the things they see us do and say. Who stood up for all the babies that were killed when Moses was hidden from being killed? And yet did God stop it? Who stood up for the babies that were killed when Herod was searching for the baby Jesus? And believe me they were babies not fetus, but yet did God stop them from being killed, or did he send forth a Pastor or Bishop to fight Herod over it?

The disciples did not fight over a man going with another man or woman killing a child, so why are we? Jesus had a mission to accomplish, and it was not about a woman killing her child or a man going with another man, (but, about salvation, salvation changes people minds about these things not the law that man put down) heck the law couldn’t change their ways back in the old testament days, and you suppose to be Christians think its going to change their ways now, that’s why there’s so much havoc in this world today. Salvation changes people minds, not a man law telling a person what they can or cannot do to their own body, God gave them the authority over that, not man.

Surely, we all know that this is a sin that God will one-day judge. Having an abortion and men going with each other (which is an abomination to God) is a sin that is no different then any lie (which God hates). Look at what’s happening in the White House now, he President and Vice President, is no different then any other man that have lied, unlike the previous President, this President have confessed to be a Christian and yet I do not see any good he has done for the poor. The bible states a righteous man availed much, if he was so righteous why is there more calamity hitting us then there is prosperity? There is no secret hidden or lie told that will ever stay hidden. Just as God reveal the previous President wrong doing, he is certainly going to reveal this President wrong doing, before it is all over, because according to Christians, the republican party are the righteous ones.

Well, God have the last say over that one. Mark my word. I am not harping on the republican but I do get upset with Christian leaders that harp on this and not on the welfare and state of man when it comes to helping them and being a light in front of them. God did not call us to take away people choices, they have to make a choice, a choice given by God to all of us, be it right or wrong, it is my choice and God will avenge it not you. So as Jesus mission were to die for our sins because he loves us so is our mission to this world, to die first ourselves, then can and only can we see our way to love others as Jesus loved us. Which is why I stated above, this is something most of us, and I do not care who you are, have not mastered.

I went to the Mega fest in Atlantic back in August, something I had never done before and was truly blessed by all that was there, I sowed $1000 into the ministry so that God work would continue. It was an honor and pleasure to see many of the men and women of God that I have seen on TBN. Including Juanita Bynum, a woman I have never heard of until this year when I started watching TBN.
