Jesus Christ and Him
Crucified
Kenneth Sublett,
Piney.com, Hohenwald, Tennessee
For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus
Christ and him crucified. (1 Corinthians 2:2 RSV)
1 Corinthians
2:1-2
Spiritual bullies use this
verse as a brutal tool to try to silence both Christ and the Apostles whom he selected, empowered and promised to guide
into all truth. Those peddlers of the word trying to sell you a
"core" gospel understand the eternal truth articulated by Paul to the
Corinthians and we paraphrase: "Fools love to be fooled." Jesus would
say that fools and their foolers are equally responsible for their
deception because those who are Truth-Seekers will find out for
themselves.
This is some
background material to show that the CORE GOSPEL is just a rejection
of the Words of Christ by rejecting the Apostles and their writings
as fabricated to meet their own agendas.
The "proof text" for the
previous denial of inspiration is 1 Corinthians 1:2. Therefore,
CLICK
HERE if you want to see
how this, to them "uninspired" passage, is just twisted scripture to
fool the fools.
The plot begins that not one
part of the Bible is reliable: it has all been filtered by time,
philosophy and personal agendas to produce the document we now have
which began as remembered fragments used by the writers to make the
authentic Bible. However, certain ordained men have the power to dig
seven facts about Jesus Christ from the wrecked towers of Christ's
failed attempt at the "then but not then kingdom."
Howwever, if John
was self
guided into his account
by filtering belatedly-written accounts through Greek philosophy
and his own personal agenda, then Jesus was a liar or whoever wrote the promise of Spirit guidance was
a liar or had a poor memory.
This is the view of
Anti-Christ. But this is the CORE gospel.
But, we have run across
these fallen angels in every generation.
The motive, like that of the
Pharisees, was to dismiss the Words of God in the Old Testament, to
make up their own new pattern for worship, specifically so that they
could have a position of prominence (the Satan complex) able to
"steal the houses of widows."
Therefore,
Preachers of the Core are the modern day Pharisees.
To KNOW Christ means to have
the mental disposition of Christ which is to become a suffering
servant understanding that teaching would cause Paul to be "despised
and rejected of men."
Those who love
to have the preeminence preach the Core because to preach the whole
counsel of God will cause them constand pain.
Therefore, they do not KNOW
Christ as crucified.
But, Paul didn't say that He
PREACHED ONLY Christ but that he preached "the whole counsel of
God."
In his personal
life he KNEW only the crucified Christ as Leader into grizzly bear
country. This KNOWING a crucified Christ got him murdered; this was
not what he taught.
Therefore, the CORE GOSPEL
idea is always associated with a demand that "God cannot speak to YOU
in human words in the 20th century." But, "I can, for a
price."
This will allow
the modern Pharisees to make long-winded speeches out of their own
spirit and have the fools fall in love with their "charisma" so that
they cannot hear the Word. They will even organize clapping religious
festivals to applaud the CORE peddlers, they will take away the
"water of the Word" by promising you a direct message from God and
they will "steal houses of widows" through pledges to build a new
"house for God." Then they steal the "church houses of widows" to
turn church (synagogue) into a Theater for Holy Entertainment. They
provide a "Venue for Rock and Roll [that "F" word] to Mock
Jesus.
This is the end-time
fulfillment of Abbadon of Apollyon who will have swept the world into
his/her Babylon Harlot Worship but her musicians will again descend
back into Sheol with their "mother." Rather than giving us approval
for this Satanic worship, John warned about the Apollo character who
was the Greek version of the Devil or Lucifer (Zoe) and his
Seeker Center at Delphi.
The Christ Versus the Devil
Test.
KNOWING Christ and Him
crucified is an easy test:
Jesus
answered them, and said, My
doctrine is not
mine, but
his that sent
me. John 7:16
If any man will do
his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself. John 7: 17
But, if John just filtered
in human ideas, how can we know that Jesus REALLY said that? And if
the CORE people are right then John was not a
preacher of truth. Therefore, because John condemns the very
presumptions of the Core (Korah) cult, the conclusion is that "we can
just dismiss John and turn his condemnation into the 'applause of
heaven' for us." That was the original patternism of the fallen
Satan.
If I wanted to make up my
own "gospel" which contradicts that of Jesus, I would want to
discredit John as inspired. Of course, this denies that Christ even
came in the flesh and this makes one an Anti-Christ:
He that speaketh
of
himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that
sent him, the same is true, and no
unrighteousness is in him. John 7:18
We have to discredit John as
inspired because John has just said that:
>
If I have made up my own Gospel using
"Narrative Theology" or the Sifter of philosophy then "I am seeking
my own
glory. Therefore, I am
seeking the glory which belongs to MY father who sent me and and that
makes me a child of the Devil.
> And if the "core gospel" is hidden in pieces in my
own gospel, then Christ
was not inspired and lied
when He said that He as Spirit would guide men into all truth.
>
Now, having gotten ride of our chief
competitors--John and
Jesus--that leaves
me free to preach the TRUE gospel for
which you pay me to perform year after year my MY gospel which is
always tainted with little terrorist hits against Christ and His
Word.
> But, not to worry, as a residue
of the Spirit I have
decided to allow the OLD pre-post-modern Jesus to still exist as
SEVEN FACTS ABOUT
HIM. As long as YOU acknowledge this narrowly-restricted creed then
we can have fellowship.
> But all that Jesus and John claimed to have inspired must be reinterpreted by ME
"selected and empowered by the sovereign grace of God because I have
charisma."
> And if you continue to use that old junk then we will
have to crucify you literally in our mind because the law won't allow
us to do it literally.
This is a perfect
description of Anti-Christ and the Abbadon (destruction) founder of
the New Wineskin or Seeker after Goats system. Or in Lucian of
Samosata's description, a system where we can "play the flute and
seduce money out of the fat
heads and simpleton's."
That has always been the sole motive of those who with a high hand
sow discord because if the Bible is not inspired then we can blame
you for sowing discord if you oppose out fuel loaded attack
planes.
In this view, the CORE will be
permitted because the Christ of the Bible failed on His first try. That is why we have to pound you
in the head about your opposing PREMILLENIALISM because you are still
honoring the PRETENDER CHRIST Who failed but whose "interpreting"
writers apologized for in the epistles to show that Jesus was
REALLY just speaking about a SPIRITUAL
kingdom. The apostles are therefore proven not Spirit guided because they thought that Christ was
going to immediately set up an earthly kingdom. Because not one jot
or tittle of the old "pre-post-modern" Bible can now be authority for
teaching, then we have the right as a "Blackaby-King, latter day
Christ" to make up our own scheme.
We, Post-Moderns, KNOW that
Jesus
failed to establish His
kingdom but will come
again some day to give
it another try. However, Jesus will fail unless we, in the
Aztec Jubilee
Pattern, use PRAISE
SONGS, theatrical performance, and sacrificing about 20,000 from our
old destructive "church" in one year.
This is what happened in the
NEW CORE GOSPEL: When the kingdom didn't come the apostles got the
Ooops Complex. They said, "Hey, we had better stir up our memories and write this stuff down." However,
they got all
confused:
John borrowed the Logos idea from Greek
philosophy although
the idea is first expressed in Genesis. The writers decided to take
the fragmented records of memories and using Narrative Theology came
up with differing accounts to differing churches because the writers
had their own personal agenda. But, if this causes you to lose faith
in the total Bible, we have decided that:
"The
core
gospel has
survived two millennia now in its
narrative form of
telling the big
story through
collections of little ones about Jesus."
> Now, the Core Gospel means that not one
bit of the entire Biblical record has survived without being put
through chronological, theological and philosophical FILTERS or SIFTERS
or rose-colored glasses to fit each writers personal needs for the
moment.
> Nevertheless, out of all of the
destructed fragments, we
have more power than the Spirit of Christ. Therefore, WE can
pick the fragments based on OUR FILTER and come up with seven facts about Jesus. As Paul said, "fools love to be fooled" because no
one but a "fooler" could hatch such snakes from viper eggs.
> Now, you can use the rest of the Bible if you wish but YOU
must agree that everyone who also accepts MY FILTERED CORE GOSPEL must be affirmed and fellowshiped.
> And if you do not see through my
glasses then you are a Pharisee, hypocrite or brother killer.
> Therefore, the CORE gospel becomes much
more legalistic and rigid than the entire Bible.
The Core Gospel goes
further: it describes
the two thousand year belief that the Bible must be used to define
faith and practices in the Christian religion as MODERN. However, the
Post-Modern view is that this is a rotten and destructive view of the
Bible and we must all give it up. That is, latter day prophets rising
out of 2,000 years of church history have decided that the Bible must
be destroyed. And one of the best ways to deny Christ is to take the
"events" in the Bible and make them mean something different.
For instance, the
story in the Bible is that the "starry host" including the S.U.N. or
Saturn or Satan was worshiped at Mount Sinai. Therefore, since this
was their "prayer" God turned them over to Satan. But, we can turn
that "Jewish Legend" into a new revelation and make "baptizing" Santa
of the S.U.N. ok.
However, in John chapter
eight, Jesus said
Ye do the
deeds of your
father. Then said they
to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.
John 8:41
Jesus said unto
them, If God were your Father, ye would love me:
for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent
me. John 8:42
Why do ye not
understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. John 8:43
If we come up with a
different version it is because we are Satanic, OR Jesus never said
that, the writers just hatched it up to explain the loss of the
Jewish nation.
Jesus proposed another
answer to the CORE destruction: If people cannot understand the
speech of Christ it is because they have already accepted a different
father:
Ye are of
your father the
devil, and the
lusts of your father ye will do. He was a
murderer (soul
killer) from the
beginning,
- and abode not in the
truth,
- because there is no truth in
him.
- When he speaketh a lie,
he speaketh of his
own:
- for he is a liar, and the father of it. John 8:44
And because I tell you
the truth, ye believe me not. John 8:45
Now, you begin to see how John
must be "truth
murdered." He condemns
what has become "church" as holy entertainment and he has Jesus saying that those who use Narrative
Theology are liars. And if they are liars it is because they have the
Devil for a "father."
However, if we can just
convince you that John got the idea of the Logos from Greek
philosophy:
"I
think they were
responding to time
and place by writing
what they wrote. They
had their own personal, theological, pastoral, and evangelistic purposes in mind when they planned
and wrote
these documents that survive to us in the New Testament.
In the
interplay of their free
wills and the direction
of the Holy
Spirit,
they came up with an answer to their version of the question to put to you a few
minutes ago:
"They had to strain
the story of
Jesus through
philosophical
sieves. They had to create and clarify special terms. They made entrance into their circles a matter of "enlightenment" as reflected in peculiar vocabulary and interpretations.
In the
meanwhile, the
core
gospel has
survived two millennia now in its
narrative form of
telling the big
story through
collections of little ones about Jesus.
But, how can we know? By
definition, when you put the body of material called the Bible
through a "sieve" what is left is filth, useless, throw-away Biblical
text:
At two things my heart is grieved, and because of a third anger
comes over me:
a warrior in want
through poverty,
and intelligent men who are treated contemptuously;
a man who turns back
from righteousness to sin --
the Lord will
prepare him for the
sword! Ecclesiasticus 26:28.
A merchant (Sucker Seeker) can hardly keep from
wrongdoing, and a
tradesman will not be declared innocent of sin.
Ecclesiasticus 26:
29.
Many have committed sin
for a
trifle, and whoever
seeks to get rich will avert his eyes. Ecclesiasticus 27:1.
As a
stake is
driven firmly into a
fissure between stones,
so sin is wedged
in between selling and buying. Ecclesiasticus 27: 2.
If a man is not steadfast and
zealous in the fear of
the Lord, his
house will be quickly
overthrown. Ecclesiasticus 27: 3.
When a
sieve is
shaken, the
refuse
remains; so a
man's filth remains in
his thoughts.
Ecclesiasticus 27:
4. [And out goes the pure water of the
word, the authority of Christ and the inspiration of His
Word]
The kiln tests the potter's vessels; so the test of a man is in his reasoning. Ecclesiasticus 27: 5.
The fruit discloses the cultivation of a tree; so the
expression of a
thought discloses the
cultivation of a man's
mind. Ecclesiasticus 27: 6.
Do not praise a
man before you hear him reason, for this is the test of men. Ecclesiasticus 27: 7.
So, Ben Sirach suggests:
"When you use the SIFTER it is very likely that you are sifting out
all of the good flour and leaving all of the trash in your
CORE."
In the Core Gospel we should
understand that people are trying to "mount up to heaven" for their
own glory and speak their own new gospel. However, Jesus warns that
KNOWING CHRIST means that we have to speak the words "as we have been
taught."
We KNOW Christ
as a suffering, crucified, self-sacrificing SON by speaking only what
He heard from the FATHER. We know Him only if we FOLLOW and IMITATE
His pattern of going and suffering.
However, this absolutely
demands that we proclaim THE WHOLE COUNSEL of God.
If we wanted to deceive the
world, we would just interchange two words:
We TEACH only Christ and the seven facts ABOUT
Him.
We KNOW
everything which the Bible writers just sucked up out of their
culture based on their personal agenda.
Sure, the Devil knows that
no one will notice that the question "Hath God really said"
translates as "No, God hath not really said." The CORE gospel says:
"God hath not really said anything that you can rely on witout ME to
filter out the embedded few words which are truly true.
In the Core Gospel we should
understand that because the gospel account of John condemns most of what is required for a
Post Modern theology, it is
necessary that we become WORD Murderers. Because Christ was the Logos
(Hebrew Dabar) from Genesis onward, by repudiating His Word and
claiming that John got the Logos idea from the Greeks, we deny that
Christ came in the flesh: that makes us Anti-Christs.
Therefore, in this we are
crucifying Christ all over again rather than standing on KNOWING His
character and TEACHING the whole counsel of God.
Why does REPUDIATING the
Bible not get you fired but gets you honored and applauded by lost
men?
If a man walking
in the spirit and falsehood do lie, saying, I will prophesy unto thee
of wine and of strong drink; he shall even be the prophet of this
people. Micah 2:11
How can I love a false
teacher so much if he is so wrong?
If you Trust The Word And Teach
One Another Then You Provide no "Venue" For False Teachers.
Paul said that even one claiming inspiration must be
validated by another inspired person. To accept the CORE
gospel means that you must accept the "man with no role to
play in a true church" as more powerful than Paul or Jesus.
Such men DO NOT KNOW CHRIST AS CRUCIFIED.

Clement of Alexandria, Recognitions: Chapter
XXI.-Heathen Oracles.
"Whence it is evident
that they since they are demoniac spirits, know some things both more quickly and more perfectly
than
men; for they
are not
retarded in their learning by the heaviness of a
body. And
therefore they, as being spirits, know without delay and without difficulty
what physicians attain after a long time and by much labour.
- It is not
wonderful, therefore, if they know somewhat more than men do; but this is to be
observed,
-
- that what
they know they do not employ for the salvation of
souls,
-
- but for the
deception of them, that by means of it
-
- they may
indoctrinate them in the worship of
false religion.
But God,
that the error of so great deception might not be
concealed, and
that He Himself might not seem to be a cause of error in
permitting them so great licence to deceive men by divinations, and cures, and dreams,
- has of His mercy
furnished
men with a remedy, and
-
- has
made the
distinction of falsehood
-
- and
truth patent to those who desire to
know.
-
- This, therefore,
is that distinction:
-
- what is spoken
by the
true God, whether by prophets or by diverse visions,
is always
true;
-
- but what is
foretold
by demons is not always true.
It is therefore
an evident sign
that those things are not spoken by the true
God,
- in which at any
time there is falsehood; for in truth there is never
falsehood.
-
- But in the case
of those who speak falsehoods, there may occasionally be a
slight mixture of truth, to give as it were seasoning to the
falsehoods.
To reject the Word
of God and replace it with your own, unless you are God or a
prophet, means that whatever comes out of the mouth is a
DEMON using you like a ventriloquist's dummy. And why would
you spit out a time-tested body of Scripture and take the
word of a modern "prophesier" (singer,
performer)?

- One cannot
promote a commercial system of religion while denying the
Bible as the CORE document of the Christian faith and
still get the support of faithful Christians. All pagan
seeker-systems saw religion as OCCUPATION and had no
spiritual values to teach. Commercial religions knew at
the towers of Babylon that music is the greatest weapon
of commercial worship: "For such are the begging priests of
Cybele.
Hence Antisthenes replies appropriately to their request
for alms:
-
- I do not
maintain the mother of the gods,
- For the gods
maintain her."
-
- "Again, the same
writer of comedy, expressing his dissatisfaction with the
common usages, tries to expose the impious
arrogance
of the prevailing error in the drama of the Priestess, sagely declaring:
--
-
- If a
man drags the Deity
- Whither he
will by the sound of
cymbals,
- He that does
this is greater than the Deity;
-
- "But these are the
instruments of audacity and means of living Invented by
men.
--
(Clement, Exhortation to the Heathen,
Ante-Nicene, II, p. 193).
Clement, Stromata; Defining One Who Knows Christ
and Him Crucified:
It therefore follows, that every one
of those who undertake to
promote the good of
their neighbours, ought
to consider whether he has betaken himself to
teaching rashly and out of
rivalry to any;
- if his communication of the word
is out of vainglory;
-
- if then the only reward he
reaps is the salvation of
those who hear, and if he
speaks not in order to win
favour:
-
- if so, he
who speaks by writings escapes the reproach of
mercenary motives.
-
- "For neither at any time used
we flattering
words, as ye know," says
the apostle, "nor a cloak
of covetousness. God is
witness. Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor yet of others, when
we might have been burdensome
as the apostles of Christ. But we were gentle among
you, even as a nurse
cherisheth her children." [ 1 Thess. ii. 5, 6, 7.]
In the same way,
therefore, those who take part in the divine
words,
- ought to guard
against betaking themselves to
this, as
they would to the building of cities, to examine them out of
curiosity; that they do not come to the task
-
- for the sake
of receiving worldly things,
-
- having
ascertained that they who are
consecrated to Christ are given to
communicate the necessaries of life.
-
- But let
such be dismissed as hypocrites.
See Didache to know
that there is no permanent place in the
church for those who claim to be
inspired:
Let every
apostle who
cometh unto you be received as the
Lord. Didache 11:4
- He will
remain one
day, and if it be
necessary, a second; but
if he remain three
days, he is a
false
prophet. Didache
11:5
-
- And let the
apostle when departing take
nothing but
bread
until he arrive at his
resting-place; but if he ask for
money, he is a false
prophet.
Didache 11:6
And ye shall not tempt
or dispute with any prophet who
speaketh in the
spirit; for every sin shall
be forgiven, but this sin shall not be
forgiven. Didache 11:7
- But
not every one who
speaketh in the
spirit is a prophet, but
he is so who hath
the disposition of the
Lord; by their
dispositions they
therefore shall be known, the false
prophet and the prophet. Didache
11:8
-
- And every prophet
who ordereth in the spirit that a
table shall be
laid, shall not eat
of it himself,
but if he do otherwise, he is a
false
prophet;
Didache 11:9
-
They build up
Zion with blood, and Jerusalem
with iniquity. Micah 3:10
- The heads
thereof judge for reward, and
the priests thereof teach for
hire, and the prophets thereof
divine for money: yet will
they lean upon the Lord, and
say, Is not the Lord among us?
none evil can come upon us.
Micah 3:11
- Therefore
shall Zion for your sake be
plowed as a field, and
Jerusalem shall become
heaps, and the mountain of
the house as the high
places of the forest. Micah
3:12

The Shepherd of
Hermas shows how the early church despised
professional prophets or teachers who were not
faithful to the Words of Christ and therefore
did not speak as inspired apostles or
prophets:
- Hear now', saith he,
`concerning the earthly and vain
spirit, which
hath no power but is foolish. Hermas 49:34
-
- > In, the first place, that man
who seemeth to have a spirit
exalteth
himself,
Hermas 49:35
-
- > and desireth to have a
chief
place,
Hermas 49:36
-
- > and straight-way he is
impudent and shameless and talkative and conversant
-
- in many luxuries and in many other
deceits,
- and
receiveth
money for
his prophesying,
- and if he
receiveth not, he prophesieth not.
Hermas
49:37
Now can a divine Spirit
receive money and prophesy? Hermas 49:38
It is not possible for a prophet of God to do
this,
- but the spirit of
such prophets is earthly. Hermas 49:39
In the next place,
- > it never approacheth an assembly
of righteous men Hermas 49:40 ;
-
- > but avoideth them, and
cleaveth to the
doubtful-minded and empty, Hermas 49:41
-
- > and prophesieth to them in corners, and deceiveth them,
-
- speaking all
things in emptiness to gratify their
desires; Hermas 49:42
-
- > for they too are empty whom it
answereth. Hermas 49:43
This robs all modern
"prophets" or "apostles" of a role in the church
unless they "prophesy" by saying: "Thus saith
the Lord." He has no private power of
interpretation.
|

But if any one wishes not to seem, but to
be righteous, to him it belongs to know the
things which are best.
-
- If, then, "the harvest is
plenteous, but the
labourers few," it is
incumbent on us "to pray" that there may be as great
abundance of labourers
as possible.
[Matt. ix. 37, 38; Luke x. 2.]
But the husbandry is twofold,-the
one unwritten, and the other written. And in
whatever way the Lord's labourer sow the good
wheat, and grow and reap the ears, he
shall appear a truly divine husbandman.
- "Labour," says the Lord,
"not for the meat which perisheth, but for that which endureth to everlasting
life." [John vi. 27.] And nutriment is received
both by bread and by
words.
And truly "blessed are the
peace-makers," [Matt. v. 9.] who instructing those
who are at war in their life and errors here,
- lead them back to the
peace which is in
the Word, and nourish for
the life which is according to God,
-
- by the distribution of the bread, those "that hunger after
righteousness."
For each
soul has its own
proper
nutriment; some growing by
knowledge and science, and others feeding on the
Hellenic philosophy, the
whole of which, like nuts, is not eatable.
"And he that planteth and he that
watereth," "being ministers" of Him "that gives the
increase, are one" in the
ministry. "But every one shall receive his own reward, according to his own work.
For we are God's husbandmen, God's
husbandry. Ye are God's
building," [1 Cor. iii. 8, 9]
according to the apostle.
- Wherefore the hearers are not permitted to apply the test of comparison.
-
- Nor is the word, given
for investigation, to be
committed to those who have
been reared in the arts of
all kinds of words,
-
- and in the power of
inflated attempts at
proof; whose minds are
already
pre-occupied, and have
not been previously
emptied.
-
- But whoever chooses to
banquet on
faith, is stedfast for the
reception of the divine
words, having acquired already faith as a
power of
judging, according to
reason. Hence ensues to him persuasion in abundance.
-
- And this was the meaning of
that saying of prophecy, "If ye believe not, neither
shall ye understand." [ Isa. vii. 9.]
-
- But he that speaks through
books, consecrates himself
before God, crying in
writing thus:
-
- Not for gain, not
for vainglory,
not to be vanquished by partiality, nor enslaved by
fear nor elated by
pleasure;
-
- but only to reap the salvation of those who read, which
he does,
-
- not at present
participate in, but
awaiting in expectation the recompense which will
certainly be rendered by Him, who has promised to
bestow on the labourers the reward that is
meet.
But he who is enrolled in the number of men
[Ps. li. 7-12]
ought not to
desire
recompense.
For he that
vaunts his good services, receives glory as his
reward.
And he who does any
duty for the
sake of
recompense, is
he not held fast in the custom of the world, either as one
who has done well, hastening to receive a
reward, or as
an evil-doer avoiding retribution?
We must, as far as we can, imitate the
Lord. I And he will do so, who complies with the will of
God,
- receiving freely, giving freely,
and receiving as a worthy reward the citizenship
itself.
-
- "The hire of an harlot
shall not come into the sanctuary," it is said:
accordingly it was forbidden to bring to the altar the
price of a dog. (male prostitute)
And in whomsoever the
eye of the
soul has been
blinded by ill-nurture and teaching, let him advance to the true
light, to the truth,
- which shows by
writing the things that are unwritten. "Ye that
thirst, go
to the waters," [Isa. lv. 1]
says Esaias,
And "drink water from thine own vessels," [Prov. v. 15] Solomon exhorts. Accordingly in "The
Laws," the philosopher who learned from the Hebrews,
-
- Plato,
commands husbandmen
-
- not to
irrigate
or take water from others, until they have first dug down in their
own ground to what is called the virgin
soil,
and found it dry.
-
- For it is
right to supply want, but it is not well to support
laziness.
-
- For
Pythagoras said that,
-
- "although it be
agreeable to reason to take a share of a burden, it is
not a duty to take it
away."
Now the Scripture kindles the living spark of the
soul, and directs the eye
suitably for contemplation;
perchance inserting something, as the husbandman when he
ingrafts, but, according to the opinion of the divine
apostle,
- exciting what is in the soul.
"For there are certainly among us many weak and
sickly, and many sleep. But if we judge ourselves, we shall not be judged." [1 Cor. xi. 31,
32. "You" is the reading of New Testament]
Now this work of mine in
writing is not artfully
constructed for display;
- but my memoranda are stored up against old
age, as a remedy
against
forgetfulness, truly an
image and outline of those vigorous and animated discourses which I was privileged to hear, and of
blessed and truly remarkable men.
Commenting on
Macedonia's gifts--which Paul called robbery
when the men in Corinth had no love for the
truth but were just "professionals"--Lenski
stated:
- > "Paul says that
he 'robbed' other churches, he took from them
what he should really not have
taken, namely 'sustenance.' 'Wages' is
too liable to be misunderstood as meaning
regular pay,
-
- which Paul never took from
any church. This was a fixed principle
with him."
-
- > "The noun has
no article and means some sustenance.' It denotes a
gift that was sent to him after had left those
churches, which he could, therefore, not
refuse. Yet even then he felt that he was
robbing those
churches,
-
- letting them press
something upon him which he would not let
the Corinthians press upon him." (Lenski,
2 Cor. p. 1250).
-
- > "These men had
funds and came to Paul's assistance.
-
- This is sometimes taken to
mean that they brought Paul a
collection from Philippi
or from Macedonia,
-
- but
the words contain no hint of a
collection." (Lenski, 2 Cor. p.
1251).
-
- > "These
so-called
apostles are not in Paul's view
genuine apostles at all, but only
spurious
counterfeits of whom his church should
beware. Paul is therefore extremely scornful
of those 'false' (2 Cor. 11:13) or, as he
ironically describes them, 'superior' apostles
(12:11),
-
- who
go beyond the boundaries of their
commission
-
- and give themselves a
position in local churches to which they
have no right.
-
- Such men, he says,
'commend themselves'
(10:12, 18), 'compare themselves with
one another' (v. 12) and
'boast beyond the
limits in other
men's labours' (v. 15).
-
- In
order that the churches 'may make
much of them' (Gal. 4:17)
they 'put on airs', 'take advantage' of
others, 'prey' upon them and, in effect,
'make slaves' of those
they are to serve." (Banks,
Robert, Paul's Idea of Community, Eerdmans
p. 174).

The Post-Modern or Post-Biblical
teacherd do not know the Lord. By denying that Christ
actually spoke what the later Bible writers "remembered" Him
saying even in their presence, the Bible is stripped of all
of its spiritual value.
Therefore, if John could just take
liberties and make up his own story then we can do the same.
That makes Post-Modern preachers still on the payroll lay
claim to being as inspired as a prophet or apostle.
However, all of the evidence strips
anyone who claims to be an apostle or prophet of a regular
pay because honesty demands that he move on and preach his
"core gospel" to others.
Therefore, one who rejects the Word
as inspired and normative for Christian faith and practice
is proven to be a false prophet each and every time he
reaches out his hand for a paycheck or accepts
applause.
|
Again, here is the test. A "prophet" is lying if he
repudiates the Word of Christ and substitutes his own.
Jesus answered
them, and said, My
doctrine is not
mine, but
his that sent
me. John 7:16
If any man will do
his will, he shall
know of the doctrine,
whether it be of
God, or whether I
speak of
myself. John 7:
17
And the implication is
clear: if I speak on my own then I am Beelzebub.
People do not have to believe
that the Bible is God's message to mankind as it shows His
interactions with the failures of mankind. However, the Bible is the
DOCUMENT upon which the historic Christian faith has rested for 2,000
years.
Those who teach that the New
Testament is the fragmented views of writers with a personal agenda
assuredly CANNOT BE CHRISTIANS. John Locke would say that THEY ARE
NOT OF THE SAME RELIGION.
The historic religion of Satan (Saturn, Apollo, Abbadon, Apollyon, Chiun in Israel, Molech in
Judah) has always been identified by what is now promoted by the CORE
GOSPEL teachers as Holy
Entertainment.
Jesus has said it as clearly as
it can be said: those who do not teach what He taught because "Son"
heard it from "Father," is a liar and his "father" is the
Devil. Peter and Jude
will identify these as not KNOWING CHRIST AS CRUCIFIED and who do not
PREACH THE WHOLE COUNSEL OF GOD as the ancient Wandering Stars who,
like the planets, do not follow the laws but who always seduced
people with the ARTS: the lust of the ear through music, the lust of
the eye through "charismatic" appearing-gender-neutral preachers and
non-sedentary, women or effeminate musicians to induce the lust of
the flesh.
Hermes was the Greek Logos or
Mercury as the
go-between with the gods. The was the father of musical instruments, of liars
and of thieves. Beware if anyone wants to throw away the LOGOS or
Dabar Who appears from Genesis to Revelation and tells you that the
Greek LOGOS is what John hand in mind in John 1:1.
If there are only 7 facts about
Jesus which have not been totally sifted out of inspiration, and if
WE have the only spiritual insight to determine which facts are real,
and if these facts themselves rest upon human writers with their own
personal agenda, then they have clearly declared THERE IS NOTHING
ABOUT THE BIBLE WHICH CAN BE SEEN AS AUTHORITY FOR FAITH AND
PRACTICE.
That denies that Christ came
in the flesh to speak to the human mind in human words. And that
makes one an Anti-Christ.
Then, we introduce you to
the true logos
of human religion and
to make the supernatural sign absolute we introduce the musical and
theatrical "worship" introduced by Satan at Mount Sinai and many
historical accounts.
Those
with ears will know the signs: those without ears don't
matter.
Now the False Core Gospel of
the False Prophets:
Those preaching the CORE GOSPEL
believe that the totality of the Bible is unreliable for our times.
Therefore, don't be surprised that the Core (Korah or Core) preachers
confess to taking liberties. They can easily fool the fools into
"giving them a place at the feeding trough" by claiming the power to
turn the inspired Word upside down to:
To diminish John
and Jesus who would condemn their "private interpretation" and making
preaching into profession rather than evangelism to the
untaught.
Construct their own new pattern
for worship and community which looks amazingly like the towers of
Babylon.
If Paul (who is hard to
understand) is telling
you that the only thing
which has survived of the Word of God is the CORE GOSPEL. then you
obviously are not reading and cannot ever again read the Word as it
has been taught.
Look at One Statement of the Core Gospel. Paul did
not say that he taught only the important facts of the Gospel.
Rather, KNOWING Christ and Him crucified means that we ourselves have
died to self and can willingly die to teach all people the whole
counsel of God.
The purpose was not to weed
out everything which we can use or cannot tolerate in our own new
religion: the purpose was to teach the entire Bible because it is
inspired by the Spirit of Christ.
If we deny that and continue
on the payroll of a church then it is because we are an
Anti-Christ.
The Devil is so subtle that
he can PERVERT two verses and YOU never catch on. That is why he is
called the Devil, slicker than a snake. As the serpent he is
"fascinating to look at" and like the cobra hypnotizes you while he
spits in your eye.
Notice What
Paul Preached.
|
AND I, brethren, when I came to
you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring (preaching-teaching) unto you
the testimony
of God. 1
Corinthians 2:1
Is the
testimony of God preaching just seven facts about Jesus?
Declaring is teaching:
No. That is a lie.
Paul preached the whole counsel of God. Declaring
is:
- Kataggello (g2605) kat-ang-gel'-lo; from 2596 and
the base of 32; to proclaim, promulgate: - declare, preach, shew, speak of, teach.
What did Paul
Declare?
>
And how I
kept
back nothing
that was profitable unto you, but have shewed you, and have
taught you publickly, and from house to house,
Acts 20:20
- Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the
Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus
Christ. Acts 20:21
- And now, behold, I
know that ye all, among whom I have gone preaching the
kingdom of
God, shall see my face no more. Acts 20:25
- Wherefore I take
you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of
all men. Acts 20:26
- >
Be it known
unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this
man is preached unto you the forgiveness of
sins: Acts
13:38
-
- It is good news
that belief is the secret of the kingdom. What did "this
man" Jesus preach?
-
- And he
(Jesus
preached) said unto them, Go ye into all the world,
and preach the gospel (just means "good news")
to every
creature. Mark 16:15
-
- He that
believeth and is
baptized shall be
saved; but he that believeth not shall
be damned. Mark 16:16
-
- Then Peter
said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the
name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive
the gift of the Holy Ghost. Acts 2:38
-
- >
And some
days after, Paul said unto Barnabas, Let us go again and
visit our brethren in every city where we have
preached the word of the Lord, and see how they do. Acts 15:36
-
- Now, wouldn't
you say that the word OF the Lord is more than seven facts
ABOUT the man Jesus?
-
- >
Opening and
alleging, that Christ must needs have
suffered,
and risen again from the dead;
-
- and that this
Jesus, whom I preach unto you,
is
Christ.
Acts 17:3
-
- >
That Christ
should suffer, and that he should be the
first that should rise from the dead, and
should shew
light unto the people, and to the Gentiles. Acts 26:23
-
- Didn't Paul
preach that the "just Jesus" came to proclaim His Name
and His Kingdom to all of the nations? Is that not
"good news?"
-
- >
For as
often as ye
eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do
shew [preach] the Lords death till he come. 1 Cor
11:26
-
- >
Whom we
preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in
all
wisdom;
that we may present every man perfect in
Christ
Jesus: Col 1:28
-
- > >
Speaking
(preaching) to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual
songs,
singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; Eph
5:19
-
- If the church
has not "designated speaker" but speaks the revealed
Words of Christ the Spirit to one another doesn't the
good news include the whole history of the Old
Testament over which Jesus gave us victory?
-
- Do the Psalms,
hymns and spiritual songs of the Bible contain ONLY
the seven facts about Jesus?
The Testimony of
Christ is whatever Christ the Spirit revealed:
- Searching what, or
what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it
testified
beforehand
the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should
follow. 1 Pet 1:11
-
- Deloo (g1213) day-lo'-o; from 1212;
to make
plain (by words): - declare, shew, signify.
-
- The
Holy
Ghost this
signifying, that the way into the holiest of all
was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle
was yet standing: Heb 9:8
-
- It is good
news that the way into the holy place is now available
to all baptized believers.
-
- And I fell at his
feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it
not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that
have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the
testimony of
Jesus is
the spirit
of prophecy. Rev 19:10
-
- Even as the
testimony of Christ was confirmed in you: 1 Cor
1:6
-
- Be not thou
therefore
ashamed
of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner:
but be thou partaker of the
afflictions of the gospel according to the power of
God; 2
Tim 1:8
-
- Therefore, Paul
preached the entire testimony or that which Christ
preached: this is more than seven facts ABOUT
Jesus.
Does not contrast
to just preaching 7 facts about Jesus, but about the manner
of speech and faithfulness to the Word as Jesus
taught.
Paul insisted that
we KNOW Jesus by not being ashamed of His Word and are happy
to identify with it. Then, we are to TEACH whatever Jesus
taught and not just seven facts about Jesus.
If we are ashamed
of the Testimony of our Lord and preach that it has all been
SIFTED through human theology, philosophy and the writer's
personal agenda, are we not denying Christ and Him
Crucified.
By claiming that
Paul said that he TAUGHT only Christ and Him crucified we
have an example of people who intend to deceive or have been
utterly deceived.
In either case,
this makes them the change agents of the Devil according to
Jesus.
|
Now, unless someone is trying to keep your eyes off
KNOWING A SERVANT CHRIST, they must admit that Paul did not demand
that we PREACH only the seven facts ABOUT Christ which have survived
the filtering of human writers with human agendas.
"Take (the Bible)
as to its age--where else can authentic writings of such age be
found? Its newest portions are near 2000 years old; its oldest part
3500 years. "Time,"
said a wise man "is
a terrible sifter of
books. Most books die
in the year in which they are born. If a volume survives five or ten
years it is above the ordinary. If it continues to hold interest for
50 or 100 years it has some special worth. If it is preserved even
longer there must be some sort of pure gold in
it."
"Judged by that
standard, the Bible stands preeminent and commends its worth and
value by the mere fact of its great age and its power to hold its own
in the test of time. Robert Boll
Again, one does not have to
accept the Bible. However, if they claim the name Christian and take
pay as a Preacher and do not believe the Word but try to herd the
flock into ancient Abbadon worship then Jesus would call them the
children of the Devil. Jesus said that it isn't difficult to be a
devil: just speak on your own authority.
The CORE GOSPEL is from
people "speaking on their own." And they would be ridiculed by
history's scholars or anyone who loves the Word. While it may sound
like superior language to the "fools who love to be fooled" it just
sounds demonic to Truth lovers.
Now as Paul
Preached the Whole Counsel of God, Notice How He Presented
Himself. Knowing Christ was Paul's personal identity with a
Suffering Savior and not his "curriculum for preaching"
silly truth-sifted sermons.
[Don't let
yourself come between the listener and the Whole Message of
and about God]
|
Try to hold this fact long
enough to get from verse one to verse two: Paul came
"declaring (preaching-teaching) unto you the testimony of
God.
We preach To
you, but now after that long trip to verse two, "we know
Christ AMONG you."
I know, we will get
those e-mails assuring us that "Dr. Double Cross has moved
beyond where you are." No doubt!
For I determined not to know any thing among you, save (A) Jesus Christ, and
(B) him crucified. 1 Corinthians 2: 2
- That would make
the Core gospel consist of only TWO facts. But for those
who have moved beyond us, that still isn't what Paul was
teaching:
-
- But
continue thou in the things which thou hast
learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast
learned them; 2 Tim 3:14
-
- Therefore,
knowing only Christ and teaching only Christ is
what the Bible says.
-
- Satan
says:
But I PREACHED only Christ
crucified.
-
- Can you
discern the difference between a "knowing Christ
only spirit" and a "knowing the Devil
spirit?"
What does it mean
to "know" only the LIFE and CRUCIFIXION Jesus
Christ?
A "crucified"
evangelist does not divert faith to himself.
- He is
despised and
rejected of
men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces
from him;
he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Isaiah 53:3
-
- Surely he hath
borne our
griefs,
and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him
stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. Isaiah 53: 4
-
- But he was
wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our
iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon
him; and with his stripes we are healed. Isaiah 53: 5
-
- All we like
sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to
his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the
iniquity of us all. Isaiah 53: 6
-
- He was
oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not
his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the
slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is
dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. Isaiah 53: 7
If you teach just
your own core gospel you do not know Christ and Him
crucified.
Jesus didn't select
and could never use "talented" speakers or theatrical
performers. He needed no philosophers; couldn't use them.
They could be a perfectly good theatrical speaker or a
learned philosopher but there simply is not ROOM in a
spiritual religion for talent which deliberately rises
itself above the flock. Jesus had the common decency to read
the Scripture and have the common human decency to sit
down.
Therefore, one could
not KNOW A CRUCIFIED CHRIST and also KNOW themselves as a
"charismatic" personal speaker for God. Jesus made the
difference between knowing and speaking pretty clear:
- I speak not of you all: I
know whom I have chosen: but that the
scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me
hath lifted up his heel against me. John 13:18
-
- Be not thou
therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his
prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the
gospel according to the power of God; 2 Tim 1:8
-
- Who hath saved
us, and called us with an holy calling, not according
to our works, but according to his own purpose and
grace,
which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world
began, 2 Tim 1:9
-
- But is now
made
manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath
abolished
death,
and hath brought life and immortality to light through the
gospel: 2 Tim 1:10 [Is that good news, or what?]
-
- Whereunto I
am appointed a preacher, and an
apostle, and a
teacher of the Gentiles. 2
Tim 1:11
-
- For the which
cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not
ashamed; for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that
he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him
against that day. 2 Tim 1:12
-
- Hold fast
the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which
is in Christ Jesus. 2 Tim 1:13
-
- That good
thing which was committed unto thee keep by the
Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us. 2 Tim 1:14
But for the Doctors of
the Core, Paul was just filtering his ideas about the Holy
Spirit through his own agenda. Because Christ had "failed
him" in the Core heresy, Paul just made up the notion that
his Words came directly from the Spirit.
However, we need to
fire old Paul along with old John along with old Jesus
because if we don't turn Paul's message upside down he will
fire us and we will have to go to work or preach the whole
truth "which we don't remotely believe anymore."
In fact Paul
repudiated the trained speakers because their work rested on
their own
image or human
talent. This would result in the idolatry of
talent and not
Christian converts:
- And I was with you in
weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. 1 Corinthians 2: 3
-
- And
my
speech
and my
preaching was not with enticing words of mans
wisdom,
but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: 1
Corinthians 2: 4
-
- That your faith should not stand in the
wisdom
of men, but in the power of
God.
1 Corinthians 2: 5
A "crucified"
evangelist does not hold "affirmation" meetings to promote
himself. And if the Bible can be understood by all readers
isn't Paul, like Stephen, threatening our self-assigned role
as authoratative teacher (Dr. of the Law) replacing Jesus.
Better kill off Paul's influence!
- For our rejoicing
is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in
simplicity
and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God,
we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly to
youward. 2 Cor 1:12
-
- For we
do not
write
you anything you cannot read or
understand. And I hope that, 2 Cor 1:13
-
- For his
letters, say they, are weighty and
powerful;
but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech
contemptible. 2 Cor 10:10
-
- For
we
dare not
make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves
with some that commend themselves: but they,
measuring
themselves by themselves, and comparing
themselves among themselves, are not
wise. 2
Cor 10:12
-
- But we will
not
boast
of things without our measure, but according to the
measure of the rule which God hath distributed to
us, a
measure to reach even unto you. 2 Cor 10:13
Knowing Christ and
Him crucified demands that we GO and not BUILD.
- Not boasting of
things without our measure, that is, of other mens
labours;
but having hope,
-
- when your
faith is increased,
-
- that
we shall be enlarged by you according to
our rule abundantly, 2 Cor 10:15
Knowing Christ
means that you cannot STEAL churches and call them your
own!
- To preach the
gospel in
the regions beyond you, and not to boast in another mans line of things made
ready to our hand. 2 Cor 10:16
-
- to preach the
gospel in the regions beyond you, and not to boast in
another man's sphere of
accomplishment. 2 Cor 10:16NKJV
-
- But he that
glorieth, let him glory in the Lord. 2 Cor
10:17
Knowing Christ
means that the Gospel is free.
- For if someone
comes to you and preaches a Jesus other than the Jesus
we
preached,
or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received,
or a different gospel from the one you
accepted,
you put up
with it easily enough. 2 Corinthians 11:4
-
- But I do not
think I am in the least inferior to those
"super-apostles." 2 Corinthians 11:5
-
- I may not be a
trained
speaker,
but I do have knowledge. We have made this perfectly
clear to you in every way. 2 Corinthians 11:6
-
- Was it a sin
for me to lower myself in order to elevate you by
preaching the gospel of God to you
free of charge? 2 Corinthians 11:7
Another Core Gospel
Example
- Knowing only
Christ and Him Crucified: my mental attitude.
-
- Save that the
Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying that
bonds and afflictions abide me. Acts 20:23
-
- But none of
these things move me, neither count I my life
dear
unto myself, so that I might finish my course with
joy, and the ministry, which I
have
received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of
the grace of God. Acts 20:24
Christ as "Son"
spoke only what He heard from the "Father." Therefore, it is
not POSSIBLE to KNOW Christ and Him crucified or submissive
and with arrogance claim that God cannot preserve His
Word.
What I
preached among you:
- And now, behold, I
know that ye all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of
God, shall
see my face no more. Acts 20:25
-
- Wherefore I
take you to record this day, that I am pure from the
blood of all men. Acts 20:26
-
- For I have
not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God. Acts 20:27
-
- But the Pharisees
and lawyers rejected the counsel of God
against
themselves, being not baptized of him. Luke 7:30
-
- "With the
victory of Christianity and the development of
the service came
-
- a
soaring
of the sermon. Preaching became more frequent,
being employed even during the week and during
fast
seasons
in some places daily.
-
- As the Church
during that period assimilated more and more
Greco-Roman culture, the sermon developed
para passu.
-
- The most
noted Christian preachers had not seldom been
educated in the rhetorical schools of the
heathen,
-
- and employed in
their sermons the rule of rhetoric and the artistic
effects
taught there, and polish became almost an end, often giving
more brilliancy than warmth.
-
- The hearers came
to look for esthetic satisfaction rather than for
edification,
-
- leaving after
the sermon and before the Eucharist." (The New
Schaff-Herzog Religious Encyclopedia, Preaching, p.
150, Period 300-450 A. D.).
|
Now, knowing does not mean the same as preaching. If
Paul just preached the seven facts about Jesus there was absolutely
no reason to get upset. They would not have killed Paul for teaching
just that.
However, knowing Christ as a
crucified Person made his total teaching in fear in trembling and not
is strutting and boasting about the lack of faith in what you are
preaching.
Know only Christ
and Him crucified this way:
Let this mind be in
you, which was also in
Christ Jesus: Philippians 2:5
Who, being
in very nature
God, did not
consider equality with God something to be grasped, Philippians
2:6NIV
who,
though he was
God, did not demand
and cling to his rights as God, Philippians 2:6LIV
but laid aside (emptied Himself) his
mighty
power and glory,
taking the disguise of a
slave and becoming
like men Philippians 2:7LIV
And being found in
fashion as a man, he humbled
himself, and became obedient unto death,
even the death of the
cross. Philippians 2:8
But, if we don't destroy Paul and crucify
Christ all over again, we will have to get off the top of the totem
pole, quit holding "applaud me" religious festivals and go out to the
mission fields to preach where the gospel has not been preached.
Doing that, Paul says, is just building on some other person's work
so that you can take the credit for "now" and ridicule the old
timers.
So, our "Core" preachers do
not have the attitude of Christ. Nor do they stop preaching where the
CORE runs out: they go on and on and on and on.
The CORE gospel become a
slick way to deny Christ by denying that He is the preserving Spirit
of the prophets and apostles. Throughout Paul's letters he sees the
"one another" capable of teaching themselves by reading or singing
only the revealed Word of God. This would be consistent with the
synagogue where "preaching" was originally translating and clearing
up any questions.
This total power is put into
the Word and into the one another assembly specifically to guard
against those who through being lifted up in pride can become the
change agents of the Devil.
Agreeing with John Calvin
and most reformers, Alexander Campbell wrote that:
"The system of
sermonizing on a text is now almost universally abandoned by all who
intend that their hearers should understand the testimony of God."
Alexander
Campbell
Thomas Campbell, stating a
fundamental reason for the American Restoration Movement
away
from denominational
organizations, placed
reading the Word as one
of the most important external acts of worship and nullified "yarn
spinners" in keeping with Jesus and Paul:
"who, at the same
time are ignorant
of, and even
averse to, the religion it inculcates; and whilst others profess to embrace it as a
system of
religion,
without
imbibing the
spirit, realizing the truth, and experiencing the power of its religious institutions;
but merely
superstruct to themselves, rest in, and are satisfied with, a form (acts) of godliness;
and that, very
often, a deficient, imperfect form, or such as their own imagination has devised;
"let us, with an
open bible before
us, distinguish and
contemplate that religion which it enjoins and exhibits--I mean the
religion of Christianity, for it also exhibits the religion of
Judaism;
but with this, in
the mean time,
we Christians
have nothing
directly to do--
we derive our religion
immediately from the New Testament.
The evidence is clear: the
Core Gospel is based on a fatally flawed human ability to ignore
Paul's message and make it mean just the opposite. Now, people who do
not love the truth are blinded by God and sent a strong delusion that
they believe a lie and be damned.
The CORE GOSPEL is a lie and
it can have no other motive than to dismiss the total Bible, in order
to enforce their own vain religion out of their own head, in order to
make a pompous show of self to, in the words of Christ, "steal the
houses of widows."
Charity would make this just
evil, but Jesus seems to suggest that it is the work of the Devil and
his angels.
If your Core preacher does
not look like the following then they do not KNOW Christ and Him
crucified and will, of course, have to repudiate Christ as the
suffering servant if we are going to be the beloved of a
temple-state:
THEREFORE, seeing
we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; 2 Cor 4:1
But have renounced the
hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but, by manifestation of the truth, commending ourselves to every mans
conscience in the sight of God. 2 Cor 4: 2
But if our gospel be hid, it
is hid to them that are lost: 2 Cor 4: 3
In whom the god of this world
hath blinded
the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ,
who is the image of God, should shine unto them. 2 Cor 4: 4
For we preach not ourselves,
but Christ Jesus
the Lord;
and ourselves your servants for Jesus sake. 2 Cor 4:5
For God, who
commanded the light
to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to
give the
light of the
knowledge of the glory
of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 2 Cor 4:6
But we have this treasure in
earthen
vessels, that the
excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. 2 Cor 4:
7
We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 2 Cor 4: 8
Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; 2 Cor 4: 9
Always
bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be
made manifest in our body. 2 Cor 4: 10
For we which live are alway
delivered unto death for
Jesus sake, that the
life
also of Jesus might be
made manifest in our
mortal flesh. 2 Cor 4:
11
So then death worketh in us, but life in you. 2 Cor 4: 12
We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also
believe, and therefore speak; 2 Cor 4: 13
Knowing that he
which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and
shall present us with you. 2 Cor 4: 14
Therefore, if anyone is worthy
of being your teacher, he does not do "preacher" like one does doctor
or plumber. He must KNOW Christ proven by his willingness to GO
preach knowing that even his own best friends will reject him.
If he "speaks on his own" then
his father is the Devil and he is not a child of God.
If he denies Christ by denying
the work product of those he selected, trained and promised power of
revelation, then he has denied that Christ has come in the flesh as
utterly as one can deny it.
According to Paul, this makes
one an Anti-Christ.
