Template:Delusion

People would have to be in a hypnotic state to believe that Christ wanted them to pray at a modern Church *building* but if they actually need anything they should go to *"men who exercise authority one over the other"*?
Jesus was so clear^[1] that His disciples were instructed to not be that way.
While the Testaments are also clear that you may legally apply for a multitude of benefits through a socialist state, but not without consequences. Dependence upon "legal charity" will make you "merchandise", "curse children" and bring again the captivity of Egypt. This is undoubtedly why both the Testaments tells us not to covet.
Those gifts, gratuities, and benefits are the wages of unrighteousness which destroy liberty and degenerate the people into perfect savages because they are the dainties and deceitful meats of rulers provided through the covetous practices of the world which "makes the word of God to none effect".
But the modern Christian does that every day to get free schooling for their children, and social security for their parents and a myriad of other public benefits imagining they are not "workers of iniquity".
How is that the daily ministration of the early Church, the table of the LORD which is not a snare? How is fhat seeking the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness? The Christian conflict with Rome was with the welfare system of the Imperial Cult of Rome and the public religion of the world and others like Herod and the Pharisees which was again "making the word of God to none effect".
We are to live by faith, hope, and charity which is love according to The Way of Christ and not the force, fear, and fealty which was the the ways of the world.
If Modern Christians, Jews, and Muslims would repent and seek to see the truth of their own history they could recover from the strong delusion of public religion. They think they understand the teachings in the Bible but have been doing the opposite of what doctrine of Jesus, Moses, and Abraham were telling their followers to do for over a century

We see in 2 Thessalonians 2:11 "And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:"

What is this strong delusion?

What lie do people believe is true but is not?

And why does God cause it to be sent to the people?

The word we see as "strong" in the text is energeia^[2]most often translated "working" or "effectual working".

The word "delusion" is from the Greek word plane ^[3] from the Greek word πλάνος or planos^[4] meaning a wondering or misleading impostor or deceiver.

From the beginning women and men were deceived. Today, there are thousands of denominations filled with Modern Christians who are all sure they are right and not deceived. They think they are saved based on an interpretation of the Bible. They think they believe in Jesus just like the pharisees thought they believed in Moses and God.

Peter warns us that we will become merchandise and curse children. He uses the same word we see as delusion but it is translated error in:

2 Peter 2:18 For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error <4106>.

And in:

2 Peter 3:17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error <4106> of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.

It is very clear that there is a real danger that through our own wantonness and desire for benefits to say nothing of our covetous practices that we may be deceived and again entangled in a yoke of bondage and loose our liberty.^[5]

God the Father and Jesus desires us to free. We are to be in the "world" and not of it. We are not to pray to the Fathers of the earth or the Benefactors who exercise authority one over the other. We are not to covet anything of our neighborwhich means your "fellow man" or "according to Christ, any other man irrespective of nation or religion with whom we live or whom we chance to meet".^[6]

In Jude 1^[7] we see this word delusion again translated error in relation to the error of Balaam which is the same as the deeds of the Nicolaitan and Cain. These deeds and errors are the same covetous practices done by the Pharisees with their Corban which made the word of God to none effect and now done daily by millions of Modern Christians who may seem nice but are under the same iniquitous and strong delusion.

Jesus tells us that "many" will think they are Christians but will actually be Workers of Iniquity and not even know it.

How do we know we are not amongst the deceived?

How do we know that we are not the liar John speaks of in his epistle:

One of the big challenges we face is the strong delusion and lie people believe to be true.

People read the bible with a very limited view of history, language and therefore have very little understanding of what the early Church and Christians were doing and why they were persecuted.

Hosea 4:6 "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children."

They have created doctrines based on this limited understanding of the Bible within the context of history or a twisted view of the meaning of certain words within the text. Instead of Pure Religion they practice False Religion. Then seek to find others who will agree with their doctrine.

The same could be said of everyone.

The question is what is Christ's true doctrines?

What did he say and are we doing that first?

People who create false doctrines often depend heavily on Paul's writings.

But Paul preached Christ first.

John writes:

"My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have1 an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: 2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

"3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. 4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. 6 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked."John 2:1

But are Modern Christians doers of His word and the will of the Father or are they more like the Pharisees who studied the Torah but professed a doctrine of their own self-righteousness.

"And account [that] the longsuffering of our Lord [is] salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; 16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. 17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness. 18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen." 2 Peter 3:15

The problem with many Paulinist is they do not preach the real Christ and His doctrines first.

We should know this because they keepeth not his commandments.

That means we have to love our enemy and the believer.

Some think we or I am not a believer because I do not preach things like women have to have head covering and wear long dresses. I do not mind if they do but I am focusing on preaching Christ first. Those who do not may lead people away in error.

Jesus never said anything about head covering for women.
He forgave adulterers,
He went out of his way to talk to a Samaritan women and showed little or none of the chauvinist approaches so popular among Paulinist.

We have to seek a kingdom where no one has to pray to benefactors who exercise authority one over the other.

Nor the Fathers of the earth.

We have to care for one another and strive to become the welfare of the righteous while teaching the unrighteous The Ways of Christ....FIRST.

Paul, John and others were writing people who were already doing that and were already cast out of the Corban system of unrighteousness. We should have no denomination or denominator but Christ.

1 John 2:7 "Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning. 8 Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth. 9 He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now."

The Pharisees followed the letter of laws as they interpreted the Torah. They were wrong and did not know God. They used their holy book to justify themselves but not attend to the weightier matters.

Love and charity are important.

Loving your neighbor enough to make a difference is important

Caring about others in ways that strengthen them is important

Setting people free is important.

The truth about Christ, and the commandments about covetousness is important.

Forgiveness is important

We know that the prophecy is that the "whole world" will be deceived by a lie from Revelation 12:9.^[8] How do we know that we are not already deceived?

We see this Greek word "plane" translated delusion only once. Seven times it is translated error. It is also translated to deceive and deceit once each. So the word may mean delusion in relation to an error related to deception.

How do we know we are true Christians or actually just deceived Workers of Iniquity?

Is there a checklist?

People do many things contrary to Christ and the early Church and actually still think they are followers of Christ or even imagine that they know Him like the Pharisees thought they knew Moses.

We need to ask lots of questions.

Can you answer these questions in the context of their use in history and the Bible?

Some Questions

What was the bondage of Egypt, and why were we to never go back there again?
Have people given consent to a social compact that might enslave them, like in the days of Egypt?
Why would the slothful be under tribute?
Why did the Corban of the Pharisees make the word of God to none effect?
Why did Jesus say "Call no man Father upon the earth"?
Why did Jesus say not to be like the rulers who called themselves Benefactors?
Why did Peter say covetous practices would make us Merchandise and curse children?
What did Jesus list off as the Weightier matters?
Why did Jesus command that the people sit down in Tens?
What is Religion and what is Pure Religion?
What was Public religion and the imperial Cult of Rome? How did it differ from Pure Religion practiced by early Christians?
Why did the Church have a Daily ministration?
How do the Modern Christians differ from the early Church who followed The Way of Christ?
What were the deeds of the Nicolaitans, and why did God hate those deeds?
What was the Christian conflict with Rome?
Are modern Christians actually workers of iniquity?
Do people today make covenants with the gods of this world because they love the wages of unrighteousness?
What is the difference between the Baptism of John the Baptist and the Baptism of Herod or Constantine or Rabbinical Baptism?
Israel was not to have a golden calf but what did that mean?
What were the altars of earth and stone?
What are lively stones?
Was the Sabbath a way or a day?

More Questions

Were those rituals of ancient societies merely mindless acts of superstition, or were they metaphors?
What are the rituals of the Church, and do they point to The Way of Christ and God?
Could Welfare systems of the world be Snares and Traps?
And what does this all have to do with Nimrod, Cain and Caesar who called themselves Benefactors but exercise authority one over the other?
What was the Mark of Cain and the Mark of God and even the Mark of the Beast?
Did Constantine start a different Church not of Christ?
Why did the people have to sew Breeches for the Levites?
What was early Israel like before the Voice of the people rejected God?
Why were they organized by Tens?
How was the Early Church funded, and what did they use the funds for?
Did it operate by force or Freewill offerings?
Do all governments of the world operate according to the ways of God?
Or do they operate according to the ways of Cain and Nimrod?
Who were the Nicolaitans, and what did they do that included the error of Balaam, and why does God hate their deeds?
What was Christ trying to tell us about the Fathers of the earth and who are they?
And who is The Beloved Anarchist?
What do you want to do about all this?

To find the answers, we must seek and strive to do what Jesus said the way He said to do it... Including attending to the Weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith which include caring for the needs of our neighbors and the widows and orphans of our society through Pure Religion in matters of health, education, and welfare. We are NOT to provide for the needy of society through the Covetous Practices and the men who call themselves benefactors but who exercise authority one over the other like the socialists do.

The Way of Christ was like neither the way of the world of Rome nor the governments of the gentiles who depend on those fathers of the earth through force, fear and fealty who deliver the people back in bondage again like they were in Egypt. Christ's ministers and true Christians do not depend upon systems of social welfare that force the contributions of the people like the corban of the Pharisees which made the word of God to none effect. Many people have been deceived to go the way of Balaam and the Nicolaitan and out of The Way of Christ and have become workers of iniquity.

The Christian conflict with Rome in the first century Church appointed by Christ was because they would not apply to the fathers of the earth for their free bread but instead relied upon a voluntary network providing a daily ministration to the needy of society through Faith, Hope, and Charity by way of freewill offerings of the people, for the people, and by the people through the perfect law of liberty in Free Assemblies according to the ancient pattern of Tuns or Tens as He commanded.

The modern Christians are in need of repentance.

"Follow me!" —Jesus the Christ.

One of the most important things to do is to become involved in a network of Charitable Practices. Everyone should want to join a Living Network of Love and Charity.

If you think you have a calling to be a Minister of God or you might want to dedicate your life to Christ as an Ordained Minister of His Holy Church, contact us to start the process of discipleship and become the benefactors who exercise only love, NOT authority.^[9]
