Are You Worldly?

"Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever."I Jn.2:15-17

The only way we can love the world is to have an unbiblical perception of the world. What we think of the world, as John describes, must be fashioned by the Word of God and not the world itself. Unfortunately, the professors of Christ today have allowed their concepts of what is, "worldly" to be narrowed down to simply ones attitude about sensitive issues. Or they may simply equate "worldliness" with hedonism, greed or materialism. While worldliness may encompass all of these it goes much deeper than these superficial/tangible aspects of life.

Worldliness is how we think and move through life.
Accepting what is socially acceptable today is worldliness. Satan was defeated by an empty tomb nearly 2,000 years ago but he has not yet been deposed from his throne. "He is still the prince of the power of the air, the ruler of the darkness of this world" Ephesians 6:12 and an angel of light deceiving most people on earth. II Cor. 11

What influences you in your perceptions of what is happening in the world? Do you "go with the flow"? Governments are the source of nearly all public information that shapes the ideas and actions of its citizens. This country does not have a free press. It has not had a free press for over 160 years. If the government feels threatened by what you print or say they will discredit you, assassinate your character and ultimately throw you into prison. Never forget that the government of this country officially rejected God publicly in 1960. The official stance of this government is denial of and hatred of Holy God. Can you really trust a government that denounces God. The counter-culture revolution of the 60's was an anti-God movement and yet some of you reading this think the 60's were a wonderful time. Woodstock was nothing but the devils playground where the participants shook a defiant fist in the face of Holy God.

What is popular is not of God. That which is Godly is not popular.

"Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty." II Cor. 6:14-18

This passage is often quoted interpreted to mean that Christians should not marry an unbeliever. While this is true that is NOT the meaning of the text. We are not to have fellowship with unbelievers in any respect. Its one thing to be friendly to a sinner and another thing to be a friend with sinners. When you associate yourself with unbelievers and engage in the same activities with them you cannot insulate yourself from their influence. "Be ye separate and I will receive you". When we are bonded with the lost we are disconnected from God.

Satan is the father of lies, Jn. 8:44. All that Satan does is motivated by a lie. The worlds governments, news sources, media and the entertainment world are all firmly in the grasp of Satan with a diabolical motive to take as many created beings to hell with him as possible. Nothing is as it seems. Stop believing things at face value and question every narrative that comes down the road.

This post today is inspired by an article I saw regarding Anti-Zionist Orthodox Jews attacking a female Israeli soldier. We have been led to believe that anti-Zionism is anti-Semitic. This is a lie. Zionists make this claim to discredit anyone who opposes them. The staunchest modest radical opponent of Zionism is orthodox Jews. Can an ultra-orthodox Jew be an anti-Semite? See the article here: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5001110/Israeli-soldier-karate-kicks-violent-crowd-bay.html
And learn more about the Ultra Orthodox Jewish opposition to the state of Israel here: http://www.nkusa.org/

Caution: do not think that either Zionists or Anti-Zionist Kosher Jews are "friends" of Christians. Jesus told the Pharisees, "if you knew the Father you would have known me" Jn. 8:19. The ultra orthodox Jews are practicing the same cultic religion of the Pharisees.

The media has led us to believe a narrative about Zionism that is NOT true. One can be anti-Zionist but that does not make them Anti-Semitic.

This same method of misleading public perception to advance a diabolical agenda has crippled the United States for over 160 years. The notion that slavery in this country equated to racism is an outright lie. And the narrative that slavery is "evil" is a lie as well considering that slavery has always existed since the beginning of time and is quite prevalent in the U.S. today. I have never heard a preacher or theologian give any biblical argument against the institution of slavery. Please someone show me from scripture that slavery is evil.

The 1860 census of the United States revealed that 250,000 free blacks lived in the Southern states. Of those free blacks 11% owned slaves. Less than 9% of whites owned slaves. The people who owned the largest number of slaves in South Carolina and Louisiana were black men. Stop believing the lie that slavery is racist. This lie persists to advance an evil agenda.

The commonly accepted most popular notions of slavery and Zionism in our society today are not biblical and thus they are not from God. For you to accept these lies is to be a friend of the world. Popular societal notions must be filtered through Gods word. We must consume Gods word until it consumes us and gives us the ability to detect the lies of the enemy. Christians must not adopt the popular narratives of any issues but "be ye separate saith the Lord".
