Fighting the Four Evils

The concept of rights, equality, and liberty are all false doctrines. There is no such thing as anyone's rights, equality or liberty. That is clear. However, some  in response to these evils, and being rightly concerned about such evils, seek to fight such evils by another evil. They fight the evils of equality by promoting ethnonationalism and ethnocentrism. They being so worried about the evils of the doctrines of equality seek to promote ethnonationalism and ethnocentrism. This is indeed the devil's trap, where he uses people standing for two different evils to fight each other, and deceive people into thinking that does not support one side, such as equality, one must support the other, such as ethnonationalism. These people typically love to use the Old Testament verses to justify racism. They love to intimidate people with their so-called Bible 'knowledge' about the Old Testament and its implications for today.  Such people also love to point out how various

Ethnocentrism, or racism, is the idea that one's ethnicity makes one superior to others. It is an extremely subtle mindset which so many people are under but do not realise. It manifests in all kinds of ways. One such way it manifests is the belief that violence done by one ethnic group against another is justified, but violence done by another ethnic group is always wrong.  Ethnocentrism is a vile worldly mindset. It is entirely contrary to the teaching of the Bible that "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus" (Galatians 3:28). The distinctions which determine the superiority of one ethnicity, sex or social-economic status are gone in Christ. For all in Christ are in Christ who does not view any person as superior or inferior to another.  All people are sinners before God, and nothing but sinners, unless they recognise their sin before God, turn from their sins, and place

The Bible tells us the in the Last Days, there will be the rise in false doctrines and teachings (1 Timothy 4:1). Such false doctrines are indeed rampant as may be currently observed. The rapid degeneration into all kinds of wickedness being treated as not only acceptable, but normal and right will only get worse.  One such evil doctrine that is subtly creeping into the Church is ethno-nationalism. It is often thought that everyone except for a very insignificant minority in modern society denounces racism or ethno-nationalism in all forms. However, that is simply not true. Ethno-nationalism is rampant in the so-called 'progressive' west, like in America and many parts of Europe, include in Scandinavia. This is baffle some who think that ethno-nationalism belongs to a bygone era, and has no place in progressive societies. That is true in the sense that ethnic pride as a cultural norm and societal system was a defining feature of most if not all ancient pagan societies. Mode

Many in the modern Church in the west are smug behind their wealth. That includes not just those with large houses,  high levels of disposable income, and high-paying jobs. No, includes the many who do not consider themselves rich, but have a house to live in with electricity with a job, or who receive government assistance for the basic needs. Many of such people are just as proud in their hearts as those with large houses, much disposable income and high-paying jobs. Such people often do not realise that they are trusting in mammon, as opposed to God. A person trusts one or the other (Matthew 6:24).  They focus on long-term financial planning to ensuring that they and their families needs will be met, instead of simply trusting in God. They look forward to simply enjoying their "retirement", as opposed to working to advance in the Kingdom of God and do good works. They simply want to enjoy spending their life savings in old age, instead of giving their extra money or we

Many local churches teach the dangerous doctrine of 'once saved always saved'. This is a false doctrine. While it is true that "he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ" (Philippians 1:6), one must not only persevere in the faith in Jesus Christ as the whole book of Hebrews exhorts. One must constantly guard against abandoning one's faith in Christ to go back into the world.  Hebrews 11:14-16 warns the follower of Christ not to go back into the world: For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country. And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned. But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city. Even those listed in the Hebrews 11 Hall of Faith were tempted to go back to the world, to seek earthly riches, g

The story of the rich young ruler recorded in Matthew 19:16-22 with parallel accounts in Mark 10:17-27 and Luke 18:18-23 is a very sobering one. Many people in the modern Church read it and skim over it, thinking that there is no lesson in it for them. In particular, they think that the commandment to give up all one has for Christ is only a commandment for the rich young ruler. They love to point out that one does not need to sell everything one has to follow Christ, and make an argument by saying that Jesus did not say people need to literally sell all one has to become homeless or impoverished. However, Jesus makes no such statement. Such a statement simply a legalistic statement which seeks to miminalise Christ's command for self-denial, by the unrighteous use of the law, demonstrating a miminal love of Jesus. There is no guarantee or promise by God to followers of Christ that they will be rich Biblically meaning that one will live a comfortable life whatsoever. Do not be

Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me. But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea. Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh ! (Matthew 18:4-7)  Many in the modern Church are causing their fellow saints to stumble by their vain speech and idle babbling, all without knowing. The Bible has much to say about speech. Speech itself has an effect on the hearer, not merely emotionally or psychologically, but spiritually. Indeed, " death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof" (Proverbs 18:21). The mere listening to, or in the case of the internet, the re

For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live (Romans 8:13). Jealousy and envy are the most pervasive sins. They are the sins which literally every person commits, including 'moral and decent' people who do not indulge in sexual immorality, live lifestyles of crass materialism, and practice drunkenness. Such things are vile sins and deserve death, but so are jealousy and envy, which are sins of the flesh: Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry (Colossians 3:5) Just like the sins of sexual immorality, one must put to death jealousy and envy, or else one will die and go to Hell. The Bible commands us to put to death the deeds of the flesh (Romans 8:13). So, how can one put to death the sin of jealousy and envy? 1.  Wholeheartedly pursue God and His Kingdom, and not your ow
