By: Gen. Jim – 3/28/25
Someone wrote the other day asking why we stopped preaching on “love” and started preaching on “hate.” Well this is not totally correct. We’ve never stopped preaching and teaching on God’s love. I do however admit that the Spirit has prompted us to P/T harder against the sins of the current times. Why so? It is obvious that the “love of God” longs for a clean people, not a defiled, wayward, rebellious, sin-infected people. His “love” necessitates “wrath” against unfaithfulness. Take an honest evaluation of today’s “love” church full of vileness. We grew up in the era of, “don’t judge me just love me.” “Come as you are, stay as you are.” How has this worked out for the church? How has this worked out for evangelizing the sinners?
Consider Jesus
How is it that the “fun-in-the-Son” church misses the Son’s message – “go and sin no more!” I’ve done enough Bible studies on this subject. We might ask ourselves, “Did Jesus preach/teach unconditional love? Did any of the N.T. authors do the same? And, what are we to do with those “vice” lists found in the N.T.?” E.g. 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 (seek out other “vice” lists as well. Even Jesus puts forth a “vice” list in Mark 7:20-23 in which He lists evil thoughts, adulteries, fornication, murders, thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lewdness, evil eyes, blasphemy, pride and foolishness. He says, “All these evil things come from within and DEFILE a man.”
Do you think Jesus was just fooling around when He made this statement? So, since those “sins” DEFILE a person, he would not be showing “love” if He did not proclaim His MESSAGE to His MESSANGERS! Same goes for us in today’s world.
Scholars tell us that Jesus’ “vice” list (v.21,22) is a typical Hellenistic catalog (see Romans 1:29-31 where Paul mentions, unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness, envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, back-biters, haters of God, violent, proud boasters, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, and unmerciful). Such “vice” lists, used by stoic moralists et al, were taken over by Hellenistic Jews and used in their ethical/moral teachings – of course with modifications in the direction of Jewish standards and Jewish ethical terminology. (A good source of info is found in Anglican Theological Review, XIV (1932), 222-228, by B.S. Easton (Pseudo-Phocylides)
Mark’s “V” list, given in another order in Codex Bezae, and in still another in KJV, is reduced from 13 to seven by Matthew, (note the translation in the RSV’s lasciviousness is licentiousness; blasphemy is slander, i.e. the reviling, not of God, but of men. An “evil eye” refers to a jealous or grudging attitude (see Deuteronomy 5:9).
Isn’t it “love” to tell the sinner (s) that such things DEFILE them… and such things, if not repented of, will cause one to end up in Hell? Hell? Yep, read Jesus’ Words. He spoke more about Hell than Heaven. But to hear these cry babies, these church “funsters” tell it, to tell someone the truth is now considered a “hate crime!” Yep! And we’ve made A LOT of enemies over the years because of the “message” that the “Messiah” taught.
Do you honestly believe that Christ is gonna accept a defiled “Church whore” as his Bride? He calls for holiness, a clean heart, not a heart full of unconfessed sins (which poisons the soul). Yet today’s church is so accustomed to being “defiled,” i.e. “poisoned” that they view this as minor matters. But according to Jesus and N.T. author, they were/are major matter.
These Evil Times
We can see the natural state of the nation by what the Trump admin is uncovering – the amount of wasted, stolen, used for anti-America programs etc. the government corruption is so deep that who knows if the bottom will ever be reached. This is why the Democrat party/left HATE President Trump et al., they have the guts to expose the ROT that is destroying this nation. Violent protests are erupting all across the nation. The messengers are targeted for destruction. Take this into the spirit realm, the same goes for the messengers of the Lord Jesus – no end to the HATE!!! (note: eventually, we hope to establish an internet cite where we can put up all the docs/rants against us up for the public – there are lots. We will call this cite the PX3 Files, i.e., “persecution, prosecution, and prison.”). You’ll get an idea how much hatred we’ve received from both the church and the world – “Hate in the name of Love.”
In these times especially (our PP started in the early 1980’s), the Spirit of God is showing the world just how hateful/murderous things have become. These times when it is being made evident how much HATRED those who are demonically controlled have for the Message of the Messiah, Jesus Christ came bringing. In fact they HATE Him and they HATE anyone now who brings the same message. They HATE especially those who are washed and covered in His Blood and are full of the Holy Spirit and are able to discern them in their murderous wickedness. These are HATED because they DARE to speak out, stand up against those demonic controlled dupes. Oh, they will make up BIG and small LIES to destroy you. Yes, sir, they have zero tolerance for “Warriors for Righteousness” – ZERO!
[Note: We now have the Px3 Files up.]
The same murderous spirits which plotted against the Son of God and wanted Him DEAD, are on a RAMPAGE as I write. Their VENOM and HATRED wants to DEFILE this whole nation – the whole world. They are FULL of malicious and vicious intent. What did these spirits do to Jesus and many of His disciples/followers? Read the Book and find out.
Perverse Confusion of Values
Take abortion. Is it not a twisted/sick value valued by those who have murder in their hearts? Who in their right mind would MURDER their own infant – who is not given a chance to live. And yet, this nation (and other nations) allow it, promote it, celebrate it! SICK!
Verse 22 ends with “foolishness,” which is often used to describe a sort of lighthearted facetiousness, i.e. a lack of wisdom, in either case with no viciousness. Here it means “folly,” (Godspeed). The Moffatt’s version has it as “recklessness.” According to the Bible “folly” is a sin, i.e. the perverse confusion of valves, the foolish choice of lesser goods, the reckless unconcern for the spiritual.
Death Plot
If you think I’m a little bit touched in the head, better re-read the N.T. where the religious plotted to MURDER the Messiah with the Message to REPENT (Matthew 4:17; Mark 1:14,15). This enraged the religious folks who believed they had nothing to repent of. The Greek defines “R” as “change of mind,” but in the O.T. Gk./LXX it stood for “to grieve for one’s sins.”
Do you, who hate what I write, believe Jesus always preached “love?” That He never got angry or pronounced WOES!? People accuse us of always being angry and hateful. Not true the way they perceive it. If you truly “love” than “warnings” are forthcoming.
Words Cut and Burn; Words Heal and Soothe
Jesus was balanced. He did not over do or over use the “love” word, nor the “warnings.” Words spoken by Jesus and His true followers are instruments of life and death. They are flexible, so instant, so piercing, so burning, yet so peaceful. Why did Jesus tell the Jews to REPENT? He could have been like the Catholic Pope and priests, ‘Bless you my son,’ ‘Bless you my daughter’ … letting them fill up their cup of damnation. We have whole denominations/organizations that are built upon “the love Gospel,” no warning, no rebuke, no instruction in righteousness.
Men and women, boys and girls in this generation needs to confess/repent and resolve to fight the good fight of faith, endure hardness as good soldiers of Christ. Away with this “sloppy agape” oozing with human sentimentality that keeps the “Sword that cuts and the Fire that Burns” away from us.
Message = Martyrs
True! How many have died because they dare to repeat the “message” Jesus declared – REPENT!? If and when one dares to call for repentance in this wicked and perverse generation, get ready for ALL HELL to break out against you. I’m not speaking of these mega church ministers who don’t dare to even use the “SIN” word, the “Hell” word (like baby boy Joel Osteen et al). They are concerned with $$ and numbers yet, with all their “no sin,” “no hell” preaching, they will get persecuted anyway but not for the right reasons.
Needed: “Warriors for the Return to Righteousness Revolution”
Preaching/teaching/witnessing only about “God loves you!” is only half the “Message.” While it is true that Jesus loves us, He loves us enough to bring the “Sword and Fire” when needed. Those who plotted to Murder Jesus, and did the grizzle deed, only set in motion His resurrection and the resurrection of His true people.
REJOICE!
