The ACCUSER WAITS... by Phil Barnes Going to the Bible, we read this: (2Co 2:11) Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. Has satan ever gotten an advantage of you? Friends, he has gotten an advantage of ALL of us! All have sinned! All have done that which the Lord says we are not to do! None of us is perfect! None of us is 'sinless'! What ARE the 'devices' of satan?? Do we know? I'd like to present just one of those 'devices' in this post: DIVERSION BY ACCUSATION. The Bible plainly labels the devil as the ACCUSER! (Rev 12:10) And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. Friends, the devil is the ACCUSER!! He has and is, accusing us before God DAY AND NIGHT! And, not only before God, but he accuses Christians right here on earth as often as he can! One way that he uses 'accusation' is as a means of DIVERSION! If one comes posting a message that is not in line with the accepted 'mainstream' religion, the devil's ministers will go on the attack! Their immediate goal is that of DIVERTING our minds AWAY from the MESSAGE! He doesn't want to give anyone the opportunity to read/listen/or view anything that isn't part of what I call "the standard answer"! He will do his best to DIVERT the attention AWAY from the 'MESSAGE' and focus it anywhere else possible! If it happens to be something that is not part of the accepted mainstream view, then it must be stopped and any and all who would even consider reading/viewing it dissuaded, or diverted AWAY to something else! First, of course, the TOPIC will be attacked and belittled... but, if that doesn't work, then the MESSENGER will be targeted! You've read it and seen it time and again! "kill the messenger'! Focus the attention on the messenger and divert the attention AWAY from the actual content of the message! If I named a famous 'Evangelist', one who preached things that the Mainstream rejects, then the devil will send his ministers to attack the CHARACTER of the messenger! That is easy because we all are humans and we ALL are sinners! Same tactics as are used in politics! Character Asasination! That, is 'killing the messenger'! This 'device' is a really good one because most people are easily led to ignore the message if the majority of their peers are against the messenger! And if accusing the Messenger doesn't work, then the devil's minister will ACCUSE the Church that the messenger comes from... probably labeling the church and it's members as being a CULT! Inevitably, anything and anybody who does not submit to the MAINSTREAM will inevitably be LABELED as a CULT! The ACCUSER never stops and never gives up! I'm going to give you a link to A MESSAGE by an Evangelist that I hope you will View and Listen to... it won't take much over ten minutes and IF you will STRIVE TO IGNORE THE ATTACKS AND ACCUSATIONS on the messenger....IF you will View and listen to the Video and TAKE the MESSAGE to God in PRAYER, seeking His guidance and His council, maybe He will grant you some clearer understanding on one of the subjects that the devil uses to DECEIVE THE WHOLE WORLD! I warn you, you probably won't agree with the MESSAGE, and you may even be totally prejudiced against the MESSENGER... but are you willing to listen/view the Video and then take the MESSAGE to God in Prayer? Are you willing to reject and refuse the ACCUSATIONS against the messenger, and against the Church he comes from, and even the attacks upon ME, the poster...and give the MESSAGE a chance? Are you willing??? Or, is YOUR MIND all sealed up and LOCKED IN PLACE?? Remember, Jesus loves sinners! It's the sin He hates! We are ALL SINNERS! There are no perfect Preachers! IF God has a MESSAGE that He wants to SEND to you or anyone else, He will use a 'sinner' to get the job done! So, are you willing to watch and listen to the MESSAGE, or will you stuff your fingers in your ears and sing LA LA LA LA LA... ????? Will you OPEN YOUR BIBLES and CHECK OUT THE MESSAGE, or will you sit in judgement and refuse any possible truth and enlightenment that the Great God might wish to share? We'll See... The Accuser doesn't want you to even have the opportunity to consider anything the mainstream does not approve! |

gerard: There is but one authority that true Christians use to judge the actions of the pseudo Judeo-Christians, and that is the Law of God. If such minions of Hell tell me that God wants me to love homosexuals, and God calls them abominations, I've really got to wonder what is wrong with Judeo-Christians. If they tell me that the Ten Commandments and the Law of God are done away with, and they cannot point to any Biblical authority in either the Old or New Covenants to validate that claim, then I must wonder what is wrong with Judeo-Christians. If they tell me that a people who originated in southern Russia along the northern coast of the Black Sea are the "Chosen People of God," then I must judge those false Christians as wolves in sheep clothing. Aw, there is that word again: judge. According to Judeo-Christians, we are not to judge. But did not Jesus judge the money changers in the temple when He fashioned a whip and drove them from God's house; did He not judge when he told His apostles to arm themselves with swords on their second missionary trip abroad? I've just got to wonder at anyone who would embrace teachings that go contrary to the clear doctrines found in the Bible, and then instruct others to follow a way that is contrary to those sound doctrines, all the while telling the sheeple that they are not to judge because it goes contrary to the will of God, when the Bible clearly contradicts such nonsense. I guess P.T. Barnum was right: there is a sucker born every minute! "Get thee behind me, Saten" which is another time that the Christ judged -- and if it was good enough for Him, then it is good enough for me; indeed, get thee behind me, gerard!

The primary stipulation given for Christians regarding judging is that we are not to proclaim our own judgements (based on our opinions) but to pronounce the judgements of God (based on truth). Jesus serves as the best example in this manner. "I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me." (John 5:30) Here Jesus confirms that all true judgement comes from God alone, but He also sets forth the criteria for what constitutes just judgements. Jesus says that because He places His will in subjection to God the Father, He is able to hear God's words and be sent by God to pronounce His judgements. Again in John 8:15-16 Jesus asserts that only judgements that come from God are true, "Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man. And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me." This is the pattern for how we are commanded to judge righteously, "Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment." (John 7:24). We must have our will in subjection to God's which enables us to know God's words and allows us to be sent by God to others with His message. Scripture also shows that God has given us His Spirit to specifically fulfill these purposes in man (among other things), thereby allowing righteous judgements to be pronounced by man. So, seeing as RO is not God or Jesus, nor sent by God or Jesus, RO is simply capable of only making an appearance judgement, not a righteous judgement carrying the word of God. Gerard is not pretending to be that arrogant and says, ''judge ye not''. |

Bruce: You're beginning to sound a lot like a Judeo-Christian; indeed, you're taking Biblical passages out of context and putting your own spin on them. John 5:30 has nothing to do with people judging other people, but with the Jews judging the Christ as something less that the only begotten son of God, as explained in John 5:31-47. Again, John 8:15-16 has nothing to do with people judging other people, but with Jesus being the son of God, as is verified in John 8: 17-19. John 7:24 deals directly with Jesus confronting His Jewish accusers who denied his kinship with God, and not one person judging another. True Christians are expected to know the difference between right and wrong, as deternined by the Law of God. In fact, they are expected to judge those differences righteously, as explained in Matthew 7:1-2. Our judgements are to be righteous and not hypotrical. We are to follow the Law of God and judge those who refuse to do so without fraud or pietism. Even John admitted such in II John 9-10. So, seeing that RO knows the difference between righteousness and an abomination as determined by God, RO can make a righteous judgement that calls an abomination an abomination. Christians are expected to know the difference between right and wrong, and to be able to righteously judge the difference. Or would you have us believe that Christians cannot judge a murderer, a queer or an adulterer worthy of death when such legal cases are brought to our attention? By your opinion, the mass murderer Charles Manson should be allowed to continue murdering the innocent simply because Christians are not supposed to judge. Nonsense! If you don't know the difference between right and wrong, you are unworthy of entering the kingdom of God. In fact, you are like the pagan nations that twist the law to fit their momentary conceptions of what is right and what is wrong. God's Law, to the contrary, is eternal and literally chiseled in stone. Choose this day who you will follow: The law of God or the traditions of man. RO |

Phil Barnes: Gerard has stolen your ideas and used them as his own. I cannot explain why, but he and Bruce have admitted that their opinions are subserviant to yours, and that you have a better opinion than either of them. 'xxxxxxxxxxxx' I know that some people would be thrilled at the prospect of others using their opinions to attack contrary ideas, 'xxxxxxxxx' It's a lot like a 'xxxx' wanting to engage Einstein in a discussion about the theory of realitivity. They cannot do it themselves, so they find some flaccid mentality that might stand a chance of hitting the mark, even if the fool doesn't know what he is talking about. 'xxxxx' I apologize for the both of them; 'xxxxxx' RO (the above post has been edited by staff) Edited by xray, Jan 11 2010, 10:41 AM.
