When Jesus said that his disciples could be identified by their love of one another, the point he was making, is greater than what has yet been realized.
Rom.8:19 reads; "19 For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed."
Matt.5:48 states that the sons of God, imitate God's perfection in His love, just as Jesus Christ reflected that love through the sacrifice of his life (Matt.5:48; 1John4:8; Eph.5:1; John15:13; 10:11).
We are to love one another, to that same extent (John15:12; 1John3:16).
-- After the scriptures teach us what kind of love the genuine and faithful disciples of Christ will display toward their brothers... they also teach us the kind of hatred that is displayed by the unfaithful chosen, against their brothers.
If we use these lessons to distinguish the faithful from the unfaithful... we then can have revealed to us... the sons of God (Rom.8:19).
How then, do the scriptures expose, those who were genuinely chosen by God, but prove unfaithful and unloving? For we are assuredly told, that the love of greater number ("two thirds" in Revelation)... cools off (Matt.24:12; Rev.2:4; 2Cor.11:4; 1Tim.4:1; Rev.16:13-14; Matt.24:24-25).
This is not a cooling of love out in Satan's secular world, but is a turning away from Christ's command to sacrificially love our anointed BROTHERS (1John4:20-21,16; Rom.12:5; Col.1:18; 2:19-20; Eph.2:2; 2Thess.2:1-3; Rev.2:4-5; Luke16:3,1-2)
Matt.25:42-45
Since the scriptures foretell this falling away from Christ and the loss of love in the body of Christ which results; Do the scriptures also reveal the details of who, from among the anointed chosen, loses their love?
Yes, they do.
Let us consider the pattern of unloving behavior that Jesus disclosed to us, and who it is, who practices that pattern of disobedience, among the brothers of Christ......
Luke12: "42 The Lord answered, “Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom the master of the household, puts in charge of his servants to give them their food allowance at the proper time? 45 But suppose the servant says to himself, ‘My master is taking a long time in coming,’ and **he then begins to beat his fellow servants, both men and women, and to eat and drink and get drunk."**
Matt.24: "48 But suppose that servant is wicked and says in his heart, ‘My master is staying away, longer than I expected.’ 49 And he begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with drunkards. 50 The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware of (Luke19:44; Rev.16:15; John10:10; Matt.24:43). 51 He will cut him to pieces (Hosea 6:5; Rev.2:26-27) and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth."
First of all, we should establish that the master Christ's household, are genuine anointed (Eph.2:19-22; 3:17; 1Pet.2:4-5; Heb.3:6)
Next, to recognize that Jesus appoints a steward/shepherd to the household sheep of each era, to be the channel of spiritual food to the master's household (Luke12:42; Rev.11:3; John21:17; 1Thess.5:12-13; Heb.13:17; Rev.22:1-2; Matt.7:20; Rev.1:20; Phil.2:15; Dan.12:3,10; Rev.22:6; Mal.3:1-3)
Such stewards are compared to stars/burning lamplight/messenger-angels... to their own lampstand/congregation/household (Rev.1:20).
Those appointed stewards, can prove diligent, obedient, refreshing, loving, and faithful,
or unfaithful, wicked, drunk, disloyal, deceptive, spiritually lethal, and unloving (1John3:10-12) (Rev.1:20; 8:10-11; 9:1-3,10; 13:11,15; 11:3,7; John16:2).
The wicked stewards, battle with the faithful ones (2Cor.11:11-15; 10:3-5; Eph.6:12-13; Rev.16:13-16; 17:14; 2Thess.2:1-3,9-13; 1Tim.4:1).
Each hearer must decide, which "congregation"/lampstand they will belong to, based upon whose spiritual food, and which steward/prophet, they accept.
The wicked steward (as described at Luke12:45 and Matt.24:48-49 above), also are described as "eating and drinking with drunkards" as well as getting drunk themselves (Luke12:45; Rev.17:6; 18:24; Matt.23:31-39; 1John3:12,15-16).
That alliance with other drunkards, is depicted within many scriptures... (Matt.24:49; Dan.2:33; Rev.13:1,11,15; 17:3)
...as well as how that alliance works against/"beats", the faithful (Rev.13:15,7; 11:7; John16:2; Mark8:35; Col.2:8; Rev.13:10; Luke21:24).

...did not take God and Jesus by surprise. They prophesied these developments to us, thousands of years in advance. It is only a matter of recognition on our own part, whether or not we perceive and understand, what is now taking place in prophetic detail (Matt.24:15-16; Mark13:13-14), within God's household of priests,
and the unloving steward, now using a Beast, to "beat" his fellows.
If we are able to discern who it is, that is feeding the household of Christ with poisoned water/rotten fruit that perishes... who has also formed an alliance with a beastly force that has been imbued by that false prophet/wicked steward (Rev.19:20), with an image of being spirit-directed (Rev.13:15; John20:22), enabling it to replace and trample down without mercy or love, that wicked steward's fellow priests and brothers...
...then truly, you have discerned....
--who it is that lovingly gives their life for their brothers (genuine disciples of Christ),
--who it is that murders their brother,
and also,
--who the loving sons of God really are, whom God promised would be revealed, at Rom.8:19! (Mal.3:18; Isa.8:18)

When you persecuted Rosa AND Christ through Rosa, you proved you are NOT a faithful Anointed disciple of Christ!
ReplyDeleteYou BEAT your fellow slave, just as the GB have done!
FIrst of all... a "fellow slave" is a genuine member of the household of Christ. They are of the genuine chosen and body of Christ, working in unity under Christ as head (John17:21-22; Eph.4:16; 1:10). They are not those who are in a relationship with a Gentile, separated from the direction of the Head (Col.2:19; John15:4), and separated from the rest of the household (1John2:19). They are not those who give up doing the will of their master, just because they are trying to manipulate others.
DeleteGenuine slaves of Christ who are not thrown out, endure in their assignment, no matter what anyone does to them (Matt.24:13; Luke 21:19; Gal.6:9). As we face the judgment of Christ (2Cor.5:10), we will not be excused by saying, "the devil made me do it", or blame anyone else for our unfaithfulness. If we think that, we are fools indeed.
Secondly, not all beatings are out of lawlessness. In those humble enough to realize that they need correction, it can cleanse their imperfections. Jesus himself "beats" his slaves, to discipline them (Rev.3:19; Deut.8:5; Prov.23:13-14; 13:24; Rev.19:15; 2:26-27). DIscipline also comes from those appointed by Christ, over the household (2Cor.12:20; 1Cor.4:18,21; 2Cor.13:2,10; Heb.13:17; 12:6-10). Not all beatings, are bad, to those trained by them (Prov.27:5-6; 20:30; 28:23; Ps.141:5; Heb.12:11). The proper food at the proper time, is any spiritual teaching that is presently needed. The steward is appointed by Christ, to provide that to the slaves still present in the household (Luke12:42). That includes correction, if that is what is needed.
2Thess.3:10-12 reads;
"10 For even while we were with you, we gave you this command: “If anyone is unwilling to work, he shall not eat.” 11Yet we hear that some of you are leading undisciplined lives and accomplishing nothing but being busybodies. 12We command and urge such people by our Lord Jesus Christ to begin working quietly to earn their own living."
There is much guidance in those words, for those who can perceive the meaning. Verse 10 shows that there are those who are authorized to give commands to other disciples. It also shows, that those unwilling to work their divine assignment *no matter what*, do not deserve spiritual food.
Verse 11 shows, that there are those who become entangled in matters that are none of their business. Included in this, can be Gentiles who are not anointed... demanding a postition over the bride members of Christ, to teach, discipline, correct, and mediate between body members. If they are qualified for this, why were they not appointed by God, as the steward of Christ's Bride? If any chosen one were to give into such a domination, it is considered a loss of chaste virginity to Christ, because a different headship, was accepted (2Cor.11:2-4,20; Rom.6:16; 1Cor.7:23; Gal.1:10). You should be humble enough to realize that you do not know the whole story, nor all the things that need discipline. Despite your high estimate of yourself, you cannot read hearts, nor the spirit in them.
Verse 12 admonishes such delusional egotists, to get busy doing what Christ expects of them, while they quietly focus on doing what they must, to save their own lives (Mark 8:35). Good advice.
