Maraming simbahan ang hindi kontrolado at itinataboy mula sa isang dalisay at mabuting lupon ng simbahan na kumikilos ayon sa kalooban ng Diyos, na nakasulat sa Salita, at kumakatawan, nangangaral, and brings the holiness and righteousness of the Kingdom of God to the people, but they are corrupt. Instead of justice, there is bloodshed. As a result of bloodshed, many churches don’t walk in obedience to the Word after the Spirit and the will of God, but they walk in obedience after the flesh and the will of the devil. There is no righteousness anymore, but lawlessness.
Bloodshed
Dahil ang mga tao, na lumalakad ayon sa laman, want to be free and want to make their own rules, they don’t accept any authority, telling them what to do. Dahil diyan, the will of God has been replaced by the will of man in many churches and they are no longer in the service of God, but in the service of man. Since the church board listens to the will and the needs of the people, the people decide what is said, ipinangaral, and done in the church.
And so the church board has changed from a board that represented the will of God and spoke the truth of God, which set the captives free, into a board that represents the will of man (ang kalooban ng diyablo) and speak the kasinungalingan ng diyablo, which lead the people back into bondage and causes bloodshed.
Dahil diyan, they are responsible and they shall be held accountable for the souls and the blood of many people, who have been led to hell, through their lies, which derived from their carnal mind and the wisdom of this world, or are still being led to hell because of their lies and are lost forever.
They don’t give account to the work of Jesus Christ
Humayo kayo sa buong mundo, at ipangaral ang ebanghelyo sa bawat nilalang. Ang sumasampalataya at mabautismuhan ay maliligtas; ngunit siya na hindi naniniwala ay mapapahamak (Markahan 16:15-16)
Then opened Jesus their understanding, upang maunawaan nila ang mga banal na kasulatan, at sinabi sa kanila, Ganito ang nakasulat, Sa gayo'y nararapat lamang na magdusa si Kristo, at bumangon mula sa pagkamatay sa ikatlong araw: At upang ang pagsisisi at kapatawaran ng mga kasalanan ay ipangaral sa kaniyang pangalan sa lahat ng mga bansa, Simula sa Jerusalem. At kayo ay mga saksi ng mga bagay na ito (Lucas 24:45-48).
Jesus gave the commandment to the believers, to a.o. ipangaral ang ebanghelyo; the truth of God into the whole earth and to call the people to repentance, sa magbinyag ang mga ito (identification with the death and resurrection of Christ), and to make them disciples of Jesus Christ. But that hardly happens anymore.
Only a view believers tumawag sa mga tao sa pagsisisi, but the majority of people preach a message of pekeng pag -ibig at huwad na biyaya that says that it doesn’t matter how you live.
Dahil sa mga kasinungalingan na ito, true repentance hardly happens anymore, but the people keep walking in sin and think they are saved, habang sa totoo lang, hindi naman sila (Basahin mo rin: Kapag naligtas na, lagi na lang naiipon?).
The cross may be present in many churches and may hang on the necks of many people, but many people, na nagsasabing naniniwala sila, are ignorant about the work of Jesus Christ at the cross.
They know that Jesus died at the cross for the sins of the people, pero yun na nga.
Because if they truly knew what happened at the cross and what Jesus has done, they wouldn’t call themselves mga makasalanan anymore and would not live like sinners and persevere in sin (Basahin mo rin: ‘Ang totoong kahulugan ng krus‘. at ‘Lagi ka bang nananatiling makasalanan?).
The preachers and leaders of the church would not tolerate and approve sin and make the people, who visit the church, mga anak ng diyablo. But they but would act according to the will of the Word and call the sinners to repentance and the removal of sin and make them children of God. Because that’s what Jesus did.
The cross doesn’t lead to sin, but to repentance
Jesus was and is no Promoter of sin and the cross doesn’t lead to sin, but to repentance of sin and the death of the old carnal man (Basahin mo rin: Si Jesus ba ay Tagapagtaguyod ng kasalanan?).
Many people use the cross and the blood of Jesus as a license to keep sinning and therefore they have made the message of the cross and the power of the blood of no effect.
Instead of believing in Jesus Christ and His work and preaching the truth of God and the work of Jesus Christ, that saves people and redeem them from every oppression of the darkness and lead people to eternal life, they believe in the knowledge and wisdom of the world and preach lies, that lead to oppression and bondage and ensure that people keep walking in darkness and eventually lead them to hell.
Ang krus, ang dugo, and the redemptive work of Jesus Christ is no longer the center, but it has become a symbol and a side issue in many churches.
They speak lies, which causes the people to live in iniquity and persevere in sin
Siya na naglalayo ng kaniyang tainga sa pagdinig ng kautusan, maging ang kanyang panalangin ay magiging kasuklamsuklam. Whoso causes the righteous to go astray in an evil way, mahuhulog siya sa sarili niyang hukay: ngunit ang matuwid ay magkakaroon ng mabubuting bagay sa pag-aari (Mga Kasabihan 28:9-10)
Sa pamamagitan ng kanilang mga kasinungalingan, people hardly repent anymore and the old man is not put off, but the sinful nature of the old man remains alive (Basahin mo rin: Ano ang pagsisisi? at Ipagpaliban mo na ang matanda.).
The people are no longer confronted with the truth and the will of God and therefore they don’t put off the works of the flesh, but because of the motivational sermons, which are mainly focused on the soul, katawan, and the prosperity of people in this world, the flesh is nourished and strengthened and the people persevere in doing the works of the flesh and demons can continue their destructive works in the lives of people.
Tinatawag nila ang masama na mabuti at ang mabuti ay masama
Sa aba nila na tumatawag ng masamang mabuti, at mabuting kasamaan; Iyon ay naglalagay ng kadiliman para sa ilaw, at ilaw para sa kadiliman; Iyon ay naglalagay ng mapait para sa matamis, At matamis para sa mapait! (Isaias 5:20)
What is good in the eyes of God, they consider as evil, and what is evil in the eyes of God, they consider as good. They turn everything around, because they belong to the kingdom of darkness that diametrically opposes the Kingdom of God.
And because many believers stay ignorant, because they don’t study the Word by themselves but rely on the words of preachers, they are led and misled by the lies of preachers and live unholy lives, that exalt and worship the devil instead of God.
They are wise in their own eyes and prudent in their own sight
Sa aba nila na pantas sa kanilang sariling mga mata, at masinop sa kanilang sariling paningin! (Isaias 5:21)
Many don’t rely upon God anymore and are no longer inspired and led by the Word of God and the Holy Spirit. Sa halip, they rely on their own insight, karunungan, and knowledge and are led by them, causing them to preach their own opinions and findings. And to make their sermons Christian approved, they add some Scripture to their (motivational) mensahe, which many times revolve around themselves.
And so they mix the truth of God with their own carnal wisdom and twist the truth in such a deceptive manner, that they unnoticeably change the truth into lies, so that they don’t have to kill the deeds of the flesh, but can live after their carnal mga pagnanasa at pagnanasa.
And the hearers believe their words and get the green light to walk after the flesh and persevere in sin.
They justify the wicked for reward and take away the righteousness of the righteous
Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink: Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him! (Isaias 5:22-23)
They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them (Mga Kasabihan 28:4)
The bloodshed in the church causes the leaders to treat the people unequally and not accordingly after their works. Because they are carnal and are led by the flesh, they are open to bribery and treat the people, who have a name or a certain position in the church or society and/or are wealthy differently.
Since they believe the lies of the devil and have cast away the law of God and despised the Word, they shall justify the wicked and take away the righteousness of the righteous. Which means that they shall tolerate and approve sin and reject righteousness.
They cast away the law and despises the Word
They don’t listen en don’t yield to the Holy Spirit, Who represents the will and the law of God. Neither do they listen to the Word, Who also represents the will and the law of God. But they exalt themselves above the Word and the Holy Spirit.
Through obedience to the lies of the devil, many churches that live in the New Covenant have left God and have rejected the Word and the Holy Spirit, Sino ang kumakatawan sa kalooban ng Diyos, and have changed justice into bloodshed and lawlessness and destroyed the vineyard of God and turned the vineyard into a wilderness.
Tulad ng sa Lumang Tipan, the people of Israel left God’s will and rejected His words and His law and turned the justice in the vineyard in bloodshed and lawlessness and turned the vineyard of God into a wilderness (Isaias 5:1-7).
Because that is the present state of many churches: a wilderness.
But now it’s all about, whether these churches want to listen to those, who warn them and call them to repentance and the removal of sin and to do the will of God or that they remain prideful, just like the wicked vinedressers and reject their words and silence them.
The parable of the wicked vinedressers
Then began Jesus to speak to the people this parable; A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it forth to husbandmen, and went into a far country for a long time. And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the husbandmen beat him, and sent him away empty. And again he sent another servant: and they beat him also, and entreated him shamefully, and sent him away empty. And again he sent a third: and they wounded him also, and cast him out. Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be they will reverence him when they see him. But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, sabi nga, This is the heir: come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours. So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them? He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall give the vineyard to others. And when they heard it, sabi nila, Ipinagbabawal ng Diyos. And he beheld them, at sinabi, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner? Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder. (Lucas 20:9-18 (Mateo 21:33-45 en Mark 12:1-12)).
Sa Lumang Tipan God sent out of love for His people, His prophets to warn His people and to call them to repentance and the removal of sin and to live after His will.
His prophets represented the law of Moses, na kumakatawan sa kalooban ng Diyos, and spake the words of God, but many times, the leaders and the people of God didn’t want to listen, but rejected the law and despised the words of God, na sinalita sa pamamagitan ng mga bibig ng mga propeta. Dahil diyan, many prophets were persecuted, ilagay sa bilangguan, at/o pinatay.
Then God sent His beloved Son Jesus Christ, Who represented the law and the will of God and spoke the words of God, which were hard to hear for many people. Ngunit si Jesus, Who is the reflected image of God, was also persecuted by the leaders and the people and put in prison and eventually crucified.
From the birth of the simbahan, ang mga anak ng Diyos (mga lalaki at babae), who have become a new creation in Jesus Christ and belong to God and have the Spirit of God, kung saan ang batas ng Diyos, na kumakatawan sa Kanyang kalooban, is written in their hearts, experience the same thing.
Many sons of God, who have received His nature and walk after His will in His commandments and speak His words, were and still are persecuted and in some countries even taken captive and/or killed because of their faith in Jesus Christ.
The workers of lawlessness
Sa kasamaang palad, marami na nga, who are not born again and are no workers of righteousness, but workers of iniquity; workers of lawlessness, who belong to the kingdom of darkness and walk in darkness. The workers of lawlessness can’t bear to hear the truth of the Word, since the Word confronts them and testifies that their works are evil.
They can’t bear the light and therefore they only want one thing and that’s to extinguish the light and silence the people, who speak the Word of God. So that they can live their own lives and live after the lusts and desires of their flesh and persevere in sin, without being bothered and without anyone confronting them and telling them that what they do is wrong.
Ngunit si Jesus; the Word confronted the people with the truth and didn’t fear the people. Jesus spoke the truth openly about the final destination of those, who reject the law of God and despises His Word, and are workers of lawlessness (workers of iniquity).
Hindi lahat ng sinabi sa akin, Panginoon, Panginoon, Makakapasok sa Kaharian ng Langit; kundi ang gumagawa ng kalooban ng Aking Ama na nasa langit. Marami ang magsasabi sa Akin sa araw na iyon, Panginoon, Panginoon, Hindi ba't kami ay nagpropesiya sa Iyong Pangalan? at sa Iyong Pangalan ay nagpalayas ng mga demonyo? at sa Iyong Pangalan ay gumawa ng maraming kahanga-hangang gawa? At pagkatapos ay aaminin ko sa kanila, Hindi kita nakilala: Lumayo sa Akin, kayong nagsisigawa ng kasamaan (Mateo 7:21-23).
They can be scholars of Scriptures, ordained in the church and hold top positions and speak wonderful inspiring words, and do signs and wonders. But if they don’t submit to the Word and don’t live according to the will of the Father, then they can use all kinds of titles and name themselves whatever they want, but the Word calls them workers of lawlessness (workers of iniquity).
The workers of lawlessness belong to the kingdom of darkness and shall not inherit the Kingdom of God (Lucas 13:24-28). But they shall spend eternity with their master to whom’s words they have listened to their whole life. They shall go to the same destinations as their lord and master in whom they have believed and whom they have followed, sinunod, and served.
