Fighting the Four Evils

Many people in the modern western Church claim to believe in God's Sovereignty. However, actually believing in God's Sovereignty in one's heart, and not one's intellect is a different matter.  How many people in the modern Church today wait on the Lord in finding a job, finding a church, finding a wife, or finding anything? Hardly any. Instead, they profess to believe in God's Sovereignty, but do not wait on the Lord. Instead of waiting patiently, they let their passions flow, and drive them to get what they want. Many of such people earnestly claim to ask God to lead them to do His Will. However, most people in saying that have already made up their mind as they want they want to do to satisfy their own desires, rather than simply follow the will of God.  When disappointed, they seek to manipulate God into asking Him to giving them what they want, as if God could even be manipulated by a mere puny pathetic little human being who is like grass (Psalm 103:15; 1 P...

The book of Ecclesiastes is wisdom literature. Many commentaries simply regard it being about 'enjoying earthly pleasures', by which they mean, enjoying it in the Epicurean sense, rather than in the proper Biblical sense. Implicit in such commentaries and popular thought in the Church today on what Ecclesiastes means is a human-centred view of pleasure.  It is implicitly assumed that such gifts are for humanity to glorify itself, rather than God being enjoyed for what they in and of themselves, rather than being for the purpose of glorifying God, toiling for God. Ecclesiastes therefore is a commentary on the perversion of God-given gifts such as work, by which humanity turns them into things to find contentment in apart from God, without even giving Him thanks. So, hence Solomon's narrative in Chapters 1 and 2 about the vanities of his pursuits of such things: So I was great, and increased more than all that were before me in Jerusalem: also my wisdom remained with me...

Many in the modern western Church are unstable and ignorant people who twist the Scriptures to their own destruction (2 Peter 3:16). How do I know? From all the doctrines and arguments that people in the modern western Church make which result in theology does not glorify God. This is all the manifestation of rebellion against God. Such is the manifested in the belief in "rights" for any human being. We are such good respecters of persons. We tend to be excuse the sin of those who we think are 'good', simply because of our high regard for them, and as a hard as a stone towards people who are bad, and who may well be truly evil, and diabolical. However, our hatred for such people is usually out of a fleshly, worldly and earthly disregard for such people. God is not like us. He is no respecter of persons (Romans 2:11; Acts 10:34). It is from this human respect for persons, as opposed to true justice which can only come from God, that the belief in "rights...

Many in the modern Church in the west, whether evangelical, baptist, protestant, or even reformed calvinists who are strict in their exegesis, accepting only the text, and rejecting all spiritual revelation, believe in the evil, vile worldly doctrine of "separation of church and state". These are no liberals, who are sympathetic towards secular humanism. They are orthodox, conservative, evangelical, Bible-believing, or supposedly Bible-believing Christians.  A doctrine is either of the world, the flesh and the devil, or of God (James 3:13-18 1 John 2:15-16, 4:1). This dichotomy is demonstrated by the following passages of Scripture: Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom. But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.   For where envying and strife is, th...

For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them. And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same. And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again.   But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil (Luke 6:32-35). Many in the modern Church, that is 21st century think that there is nothing wrong with usury. They do not even think it is an issue of concern, not even one of morality. They think that because the New Testament does not (explicitly) talk about it, it is legitimate, that one has liberty to charge usury. Although the New Testament does not speaking explicitly about it, it does speak about the heart of one who expects what he len...

The doctrine of private property purpor ts that what humans have belong to themselves . It is a vile, evil doctrine, like all modern doctrines embraced in the west, which even the Church in the west tolerates. It is a evil, despicable, abominable doctrine from the Pit of Hell, raising up one's fist against God. All things belong to God (Psalm 24:1). The world was made by God, through God and for God, and God alone ( Romans 11:36; Colossians 1:16). Nothing was made for your glory at all. Your salvation, if you are saved, is not for your glory at all, but for God's glory alone. What par t of God alone and God's glory alone do you not understand ?  Many do not understand what it means for all t hings, that is , absolut ely all things made for God's glory alone because they are seeking to claim g lory. T he test of one's God -centredness is whether one tot ally denies all glory for himself at all , and gi ves all glory to God alone .  Many in the modern Chu...
