John 5:42 ... But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.
Exhortation: (Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet)
Jesus knew there were those who claimed God was their Father but though they claimed this, God was not their Father. Jesus didn't stay with them trying to get them to understand.
However they often appeared before Jesus confronting HIM and trying to trap Him. They do the same thing to us today.
Jesus said to them: Jn. 8 ... If God were your Father, ye would love me (The Word): for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. 43Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. 44Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer 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. 45And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
If God was their Father they would love Jesus, the Word.
Many come to us saying Jesus is Lord but by their acts they show something or someone else other than the Word is their Lord. They fail to properly use the Word of God. They do various sins against the Word of God.
It is so important that we no longer allow ourselves to explain away their acts in order to keep them with us. They are like leaven, says Paul. I Cor. 5 ... It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and
such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one
should have his father’s wife. 2And ye are puffed up, and have not
rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away
from among you. 3For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit,
have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that hath
so done this deed, 4In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are
gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus
Christ, 5To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the
flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. 6Your
glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the
whole lump?
7Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a
new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is
sacrificed for us: 8Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old
leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the
unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
Jesus confronted them. John the Baptist confronted them ... Lk. 3 ... Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? 8Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance
Paul confronted them and warned the church about them ...II Tim. 4 ... Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord reward him according to his works: 15Of whom be thou ware also; for he hath greatly withstood our words.
Jesus told us this would happen in the last days and Jesus said: Be not deceived.
Mt. 24 ... And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
4And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. 5For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
The church today preaches love and forgiveness and eliminate New Testament instructions concerning sin in the church and what to do when you see a "brother" sin ... When that happens sin remains in the congregation and there is no repentance and like leaven it spreads throughout the congregation without shame and acts as a leaven in the congregation.
The instructions for us are there in the Bible:
I Cor. 5 ... It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father’s wife. 2And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you. 3For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed, 4In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, 5To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. 6Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?
7Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us: 8Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
9I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators: 10Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world. 11But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat. 12For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within? 13But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.
When you see such sin in the church, Paul said put that person doing that sin out of the church. This is what we have to do. Paul did not say to forgive him and pray for him and counsel him. When he is called a brother and is committing fornication, covetousness, idolatry, is a railer, a drunkard, or extortioner, put him out of the church. (So many ministers today are extortioners. They use scripture to try to force you to give to them. You end up feeling guilty if you don't give. Some use scripture to try to make you afraid as to what will happen to you if you fail to give. Some wrongly use 100-fold return scripture to make you give... all this is extortion they practice in the church.)
And when we see a false teacher in the church, we stop reading and hearing his teaching. A false teacher is a person who teaching things that are not true. I have seen this many times in churches I have visited and each time I saw this, I went to the person teaching that false thing and ask him where that was in Bible. Without exception each of these false teachers admitted what they were teaching was not in the Bible. And then they tried to accuse me. I just walk away from them.
