“Biblical Love, No Butterfly’s
Allowed.”
As more people read my weekly blog
article, I am so very blessed in that many from all around the world
have taken the time to read my thoughts regarding how the Christian
Bible impacts our world. I have especially been blessed to see some
readers coming to my site via nations that have a history of strict
governmental control over the internet. I will not list those nations
here as it may put some individuals reading my articles in danger
including physical harm. There is also the possibility that those
readers from those nations are actually government employees looking
for information about the USA, about myself or even about the Bible,
who knows? But the bottom line is, the numbers of readers are indeed
going up in the USA and around the world-Praise The Lord.
The reason that I mention about the
movement up in readership is that with more readers, has also come an
increase in the amount of comments left on my blog articles as well
on other internet websites where the article is posted. As you can
imagine, not all comments made regarding my articles are positive or
in anyway helpful in nature. This is to be expected as we that
believe in the Christian Bible know that Jesus Christ is soon
returning for His bride; that is, The Church. I also expect hostility
from many as the Bible in 2Timothy, Chapter 3 describes many will
become hard hearted to Jesus in these last days, so there is no
general surprise to me for hateful or foolish comments made on my
blog posts. I do however wish to share in this article what the Bible
describes about love as there has been an increase of attacks on me
and the Bible with comments including those that are Biblical Jesus
haters. Specifically, there have been some that call me “hateful”
or “mean” when I share on my articles from the Bible. I am not
wishing to dissuade anyone one from commenting on my blog articles
however I do wish to be sure to take the time here to describe the
difference between what the Bible describes as love, as compared to
those religionists and fake christians as well as the Jesus haters in
their spreading lies.
Unfortunately, I see there is an influx
of people in the USA who call themselves “christians” and have
adopted the American “christian” view of what I call the
“butterfly jesus.” This term means that there are people who do
not believe the Bible but rather instead have adopted what the Bible
describes in 2 Corinthians 11:14 as “another jesus, another
gospel.” They claim “God is love” and indeed--- praise the Lord
for that love but there are these fake christians who believe Jesus
went around hugging and kissing everyone and that anything these so
called christians do, even in sinning; “it's all good.” They
believe Grace has been extended to them and “everyone is getting
into heaven including Hindus, Muslims, Mormons, Jehovah Witnesses,
statue/idol worshipers and all other religions outside the Biblical
Jesus and by/through faith only. The Biblical truth be known; not one
of those “butterfly jesus” beliefs are true and will get them
into heaven. Frequent Bible abusers and those with false gospels are
the like of Joel Osteen, Oprah Winfrey, TD Jakes, Rick Warren, all
those prosperity men and women who preach that false
prosperity“gospel” on Total Christian Television and TBN. Indeed,
they are all in deep, deep trouble for leading people astray and are
involved in teaching anything but Biblical Truth, the subject of
love included.
I say this with Biblical love and real
concern for people; There is a real place called hell. I am not
trying to frighten people, but this is a fact. When I hear so called
“christians” talk about Jesus and how He “just wants to bless
you and you don't need to do a thing--- live the life you want”,
that brings me to nearly tears because I know, once again that people
are being introduced not to the Biblical Jesus but a fake jesus that
in the end, that other jesus will not lead them to heaven, but rather
instead--- will lead them to hell. For those that were unaware, I
want all to know first and fore most as is stated in the Bible; Jesus
did a work on the cross at Calvary we could never do; He took your
sin, my sin, everyone's sin upon Himself on that cross. He took our
punishment for us, that is God's wrath of our sins upon Himself so we
could be free to live a life in pleasing Him and also have
everlasting life. John 3:16 declares; “For God so loved the world(
that's you and I !) that He gave His only begotten Son that who ever
believes upon Him, shall not suffer death but have everlasting life.”
My friends that is the real love of God. There is a completion not of
our salvation through works, that is done solely by faith in Jesus
but there is the work of our own cross we who believe in Jesus are
also to carry. Demanding Jesus to fit into our religious “box” is
not what the love is all about. If you really love Jesus, you will
die to your own beliefs and do what He asks of you(Luke 9:23).
Sadly, there are an increasing number
of “christians” who believe they can live freely to do what they
want, you know, that “religious box” thing. Just as sad, there
are also so called “Christians” who believe all they need to do
is pray. I have shared about this unbiblical belief also in past
articles(including quoting James 2:17-20 over and over and over
again). There is going to be a big surprise for people who thought
all they had to do was “get saved through Jesus then pray and
that's all” Over and over the Biblical Jesus spoke and acted in
love outside of prayer. He gave us many, many Biblical examples of
love in action that people who believe that prayers are all that is
needed to be required. Probably one of the most profound examples of
what real love for all of us to follow and the consequences for not
following that prescription for love, can be found in Matthew
25:31-46. There, Jesus spoke about helping the helpless, hungry,
poor, even visiting those in prison. The “butterfly jesus” lovers
might love that verse but to them and the “prayer only” folks, I
now ask; how about when Jesus healed a man then warned and yelled at
him in John 5:14;“sin no more or something worse might happen to
you.” I bet me quoting that last Bible verse just made a few people
reading this article just a little nervous. Perhaps in getting people
about leaving their religion and instead finding the real Biblical
Jesus, let's now talk about the instance of Jesus yelling at a group
of people in Luke; 3... “repent or perish !” Now I am aware there
are still doubters about what the Biblical Jesus said was love in
action including being confrontational so I need to say here that for
sure Jesus chose to show mercy, kindness as well as healing on some
but also in a loving way, He went into the temple as described in
John Chapter 2 and turned over tables, even whipped people. OK then,
perhaps even after all those Biblical examples given, there still may
be some not convinced that Jesus was not a butterfly –OK then,
think about when Jesus called the Jewish religious leaders of His day
“a brood of vipers!” and that their “father is “the devil.”
Is there anyone reading this article by now that in all honesty would
say to Jesus' face “you are hateful !” or “you're mean !” for
saying, even yelling those things at people ??? I hope by now you
see that the “butterfly jesus” and his “gospel” are nothing
but a false gospel created to draw people away from the true meaning
of Jesus and what He meant as Biblical love.
Jesus in the Bible knew what it meant
to have good and healthy “boundaries” with people. He knew the
evil condition of hearts of men. Those evil hearted people however
who came to Him with a repentant and humble heart received blessings
from the Lord. Those however who insisted in their own and or
religious beliefs also received the love of Jesus but came in the
form of a strong rebuke. As those of us who know better than to give
money to any addict, Jesus taught us also there are times to say “no”
when it comes to enabling evil including those people who say foolish
and unbiblical things. There are so many people around the world who
partake in religion and unbiblical thinking that in reality enable
actions of evil rather than contribute to Biblical Truth. I pray that
people who need to read this message are reading it right now.
I am in hopes that you are getting the
notion that there are consequences for sin and also following a false gospel as well as our nation and our world is in big trouble--- that there
are so many people that rely on feelings, emotions, and or stories
rather than Biblical Truth, that many are in deeper trouble with God
than what they probably will ever admit including in what the Bible
describes as “love.” For the sake of the unsaved through Jesus,
for the sake of the souls of the Jesus haters(in which there are
millions) and as well, for those who follow a “different jesus”;
read the Christian Bible and apply the entire portion in your life,
not what's “cherry picked” or what you “feel”, or even have a
consensus with others as what is right, for none of those ways are
Biblical and certainly not of the true Biblical Jesus in love.

ReplyDeleteGreat article----You are correct about one thing, knowledge of Jesus Christ---Who really knows him or what he wants mankind to do in his name.
ReplyDeletePeople talk about the church---We have thousands of churches worldwide and people do not stop and realize that Jesus is speaking of one church and many do not know whom is a part of that church that is a part of Jesus Christ
So glad to see someone who isn't afraid of naming names! Warren O'steen, Jakes are charlatans and their teachings will send people straight to hell! Woe be unto them on judgement day!
ReplyDeleteAs usual, Right on target!! Keep on keeping on Brother!!
