Oneness, the extinction of, OR NOT, part 3

In Matthew 13:24-30, 36-44, Jesus uses a story about the tares to explain the working of His future Kingdom and His church.  

Tares are the seed—people—planted in the world by the enemy to act as his representative. Jesus explains that in order to not harm the wheat— the people that He planted—He lets both grow together until He returns and does the separating.  

Much of the religious community today proves the danger of the tares that Jesus warned His disciples about thousands of years ago. It seems that His warning was not taken to heart. 

Today, literally everything that God said is an abomination to Him is promoted and allowed in business, government, movies, and televisions shows. Sadly, acts of adultery, to fornication, to the ungodly unions that specifically deny God’s continuous authority in our creation, make the headlines as they flourish in many of the man-made churches. Worse, they give the world the impression that THEY represent Jesus. 

Take for instance, the pervasive lie that we are JUST human. Since this is in direct contrast to God’s word that we are a spirit [breathed into us by the Father], that lives in a body [created by the Father], and we have a living soul [feelings, that came into being when He breathed into the nostrils of Adam] …the question must be asked, “Where did this lie come from and what purpose does it serve?” 

Scripture gives a clear answer. This lie convinces people that they cannot change. Also, they can keep committing sins on a daily basis against God and yet be saved at the end. In plain English, they don’t have to change regardless of numerous scriptures to the opposite.  

Point: Satan wants company at the end when He is destroyed in the lake of fire, Revelation 19:20; 20:10; 20:14.  

Sadly, true Christian believers are forced on the defensive when we object to this ungodly movement. Some even give in because family members are caught up in this snowball of hell that is like an avalanche blanketing the earth with its lies. 

This false version of Christianity exhibits itself through the person who shouts in man’s churches on Sunday morning, and curses out everyone between Sunday afternoon and the next Sunday morning;  the person that acts a fool in restaurants and movie theatres while professing that they are Christians;  the person who uses the national media platform to promote ungodly lifestyles while professing to believe in god.  

The question should be asked, “What god.” 

The tares are fulfilling their purpose. What about Jesus’ people? To keep us silent, the tares play the guilt card about judging others. Has the power of Jesus’ blood become so weak over the years? 

God first chose us and delivered us out of the darkness of Satan’s kingdom, Colossians 1: 12-14. Jesus paid the ultimate price to give us the opportunity and help to change.  

Personally, as a former enthusiast of movies and television shows with good actors and actresses, I began to record those of today that I could fast-forward past the stupid stuff. But, the shows got worse and more flagrant with the violations of simple morality.  Finally, I got the guts to stop watching any that flaunt Satan’s agenda. I am back to old shows and cartoons. 

Jesus said He has overcome the world. Shouldn’t we as His soldiers act as though it is so?
