교회는 분열을 일으키는 어떤 일이 일어나기 전까지는 그리스도 안에서 연합을 경험할 수 있습니다.. 교회에 분열이 자주 일어납니다.. 그런데 교회에 분열이 일어나는 이유는 무엇입니까?, 책임은 누구에게 있는가? 그리고 당신은 무엇을 합니까?, when someone causes a division in the church? Let’s look at what the Bible says about divisions in the church and how to prevent them.
The Bible provides knowledge and insight in the spiritual realm
The Bible is the Word of God and possesses all the elements to gain knowledge and get insight into the spiritual realm. 그러므로 다음이 중요합니다. 영적인 영역에 들어가다 through the Word and not through your own insights, 경험, and human revelations.
Every insight and revelation, that a person receives must line up with the Word. If this isn’t the case, you should reject the insight or revelation.
Because the devil doesn’t present himself and comes as a horrible monster. But the devil presents himself and comes as an angel of light and uses the words of God to mislead people. The devil comes and presents himself as ‘Jesus’.
많은 사람들이 있습니다, who have received a revelation of ‘Jesus’ that has led them and their followers astray and caused them to depart from the faith. That’s why it’s important to stay awake and watch and not believe every spirit, but rather test the spirits by the Word, whether they are from God or not (1 남자 4:1).
A revelation from the devil always leads to pride, self-importance, self-righteousness, 그리고 죄.
We have received the Word and the Holy Spirit from God to lead and guide us into all truth. We need the Word and the Holy Spirit to test everything in this life to keep walking on the right path.
The responsibility of the church leaders
This also applies to everything that happens in the church. The leaders of a church are appointed to keep the body of Christ holy, pure, 그리고 의로운. The leaders are responsible for keeping and protecting the souls of the church.
They are the spiritual caretakers of the children of God. They are responsible for raising the children of God unto spiritual maturity. So that they walk with integrity, 거룩함과 의로움으로, 하나님의 뜻 후에, and act as mature sons of God (남성과 여성 모두), 예수처럼.
Most churches focus on signs and wonders instead of sanctification, 규율, and developing a godly character. But the development of a godly character is more important than the signs and wonders, that follow the believers.
If believers don’t develop a godly character but only focus on signs and wonders, they shall eventually fall.
That’s because they are more focused on the natural manifestations than the things of the Spirit. 그것 덕분에, it’s easy for the devil to deceive believers.
Divisions are also the work of the devil. Before divisions take place in a church, a lot of things have already taken place in the spiritual realm.
If a church leader is spiritual and awake, the leader will notice the signals and take action to prevent a division. 하지만 불행하게도, not all church leaders are born again and spiritual.
Many church leaders are carnal and are led by their natural senses and rely on their human intellect. 그것 덕분에, many church leaders don’t see divisions coming.
교회에 분열이 일어나는 이유?
하지만, 인기 많은, 우리 주 예수 그리스도의 사도들의 앞에 한 말을 기억하라; 지난번에 조롱하는 자들이 있어야 한다고 너희에게 어떻게 말하였는가, 누가 자기의 경건치 않은 정욕을 따라 행하리요. 이들은 스스로를 분리하는 자들이다, 관능적인, 성령이 없으면 (주드 1:17-18)
What does the Bible say about the cause of divisions in the church? God’s Word says, that divisions are caused by mockers; 거짓 교사들, deceivers, 등. These mockers can be church leaders but also members of the church.
Don’t underestimate the power of church members. 종종 발생합니다, that manipulative people quietly enter the church and become members of the church. Then they attract and influence as many people as possible with their flattering and manipulative words.
They come with their own insights, 지식, and theories. They speak evil of others, including the leaders of the church, ~하도록 하다, they set people up against each other or the leader(s) of the church and cause divisions.
These mockers are workers of the devil and have his character. Their purpose is to disrupt the unity in Christ and change the truth of God into lies.
The mockers, 교회에서 임명된 사람
But leaders and ministers, like preachers, 사도들, 전도자, 선지자, 연상, 집사, 등., 교회에서 임명된 사람, can also cause divisions in the church. In Isaiah chapter three, we read about the mockers aka the unspiritual leaders of the people.
These mockers were not appointed by God, didn’t walk in God’s ways, and didn’t preach His words and truth. But these mockers mislead the people and cause the people of God to go astray.
What are the characteristics of mockers (unspiritual leaders)?
Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin as it were with a cart rope: That say, Let him make speed, and hasten his work, that we may see it: and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw nigh and come, that we may know it Woe unto them that call evil good, 그리고 선악; 어둠을 빛으로 삼은 것, 그리고 어둠에는 빛; 단맛을 쓴맛으로 바꾸는 것, 그리고 쓴맛에 달콤함! 스스로 지혜롭게 여기는 자들에게는 화가 있을진저, 그리고 자기 눈에는 슬기롭다고 생각한다! (이사야 5:18-21)
The characteristics of mockers are, that they are unspiritual (carnal people) 육체를 따라 행하며. They’re not born again and don’t have the Holy Spirit of God abiding in them. But they are natural man, who have the mind of this world.
They speak according to their own insight. Their words and deeds go against the Word of God and His will.
Mockers turn the truth of God into a lie. 이런 식으로, they and the church members can keep living after the flesh in sin.
They are full of pride and consider themselves wise and prudent. 그리고 사람들, who listen to them exalt them and consider them wise as well.
그렇지만, 그들 weary the Lord with their words, by calling good evil and evil good.
Mockers put darkness for light and light for darkness. They justify and approve the sins and iniquities of people in the church.
Through their worldly knowledge and wisdom, their charismatic appearance, eloquence, their flattering and motivational words, and possibly their PhD, they are allowed and appointed in the church. From their position they’ll deceive the believers.
Mockers use the Bible for the lusts and desires of the flesh
These mockers walk after the flesh according to their own insight, ungodly lusts, 그리고 욕망. 그들은 자존심이 강하다, 반항적인, and stubborn, 그리고 그들이하고 싶은 일을하십시오, whereby they reject the true Word of God.
Mockers twist the words of God in such a way, that it seems like it is indeed written in the Word of God. They don’t use and apply the words of God to the spiritual man (새로운 남자). But they use and apply the words of God to the carnal man (노인).
이런 식으로, they can keep living after the lusts and desires of the flesh. They can keep doing those things, that they love, but go against the 하나님의 뜻.
Think about Jesus, when the devil tried to tempt Him in the wilderness. The devil didn’t use his own words. But the devil tried to tempt Jesus by using the words of God.
The devil tried to tempt Jesus by using the words of God to fulfill the lusts and desires of the flesh.
But Jesus knew the will of God. He knew that the Kingdom of God and the words of God were not meant to fulfill the lusts and desires of the flesh. 그러므로, the devil didn’t succeed in tempting Jesus to sin.
Jesus defeated the devil with the spiritual truth of God’s Word. Jesus didn’t bow to the devil, 육체의 정욕과 욕심, 힘, 그리고 부. But Jesus stayed faithful to the will and the words of God (오. 매튜 4:1-11, 루크 4:1-13 ) 또한 읽어보세요: 나는 당신에게 세상의 부를 줄 것입니다)).
How to prevent divisions in the church?
예수님은 우리의 모범이시다. He showed us how to prevent divisions in the church. 즉, by staying faithful to God’s Word and walking after the Spirit in the will of God and the 하나님의 사랑.
You don’t stay in the love of God by accepting everyone and everything and by allowing sin in the church. That is a false love. But you stay in the love of God by keeping His commandments, building yourself up in your most holy faith, and by praying in the Holy Spirit.
그때야, you will stay in Him, and remain spiritually awake, and discern good (the works of the Kingdom of God) 악에서 (the works of the kingdom of darkness).
When you walk after the Spirit and stay faithful to the Word, you shall be warned in the Spirit for these dangerous persons, these mockers, who cause a lot of sorrow, 혼돈, and divisions in the church.
Not only shall they cause a lot of harm in the church. But to the outside world, they shall put a blemish on the church and the Kingdom of God. They shall mock the faith, and damage the Name of Jesus Christ and the Father.
Now I beseech you, 형제, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which you have learned; and avoid them. For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple (로마서 16:17-18)
당신은 사람과 함께 무엇을합니까?, who causes divisions in the church?
God’s Word says, that you should admonish a person, who is a heretic and causes divisions in the church. If the person is not willing to listen after the second admonition, you should reject the person and remove the person from the congregation.
A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject; Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself (티투스 3:10-11)
Stay faithful to Jesus; 말씀
As long as the church stays faithful to Jesus; the Word and walks after the Spirit in holiness and righteousness and bears the 성령의 열매, and leaves the spirits of the world, that operates in ungodly carnal people, outside the church, then divisions will be prevented in the church.
그러므로, watch and stay awake! Ensure that you will not be misled and deceived by 거짓 교리 of those, who misuse the words of God for the fulfilling of the lusts and desires of the flesh (2 베드로 3). Because when you allow these false doctrines into your heart, you shall not be unshakable and unwavering anymore, but you shall depart from the faith, just like the preachers of these false doctrines.
그렇기 때문에, it is important to be다시 태어나다 and be filled with the Holy Spirit, and study and apply the Word of God in your life, so that you grow up into the full knowledge of Jesus Christ; 말씀.
