Be on Guard

Jud 1:4 For certain men have crept in unnoticed, who long ago were marked out for this condemnation, ungodly men, who turn the grace of our God into lewdness and deny the only Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ.

The enemy comes around as an angel of light, to deceive even the elect. He uses people that have some significance in the world that people hold up in esteem to influence and persuade, but the reality is that they are far from what the scripture would call followers of Christ.

They really lead people astray, and the world is following suit. Mother Theresa is well known all around the world, but she was far from perfect and far from being completely obedient to what was commissioned to anyone who claimed allegiance to Christ. John Macarthur went and visited her and was wondering why she never tried to convert Hindu’s who were on their deathbed, people who needed to hear the gospel, people who be eternally damned if they did not repent of their sins and confess Jesus as Lord and Savior, when asked why she did not do this  and she stated, "If in coming face to face with God we accept Him in our lives, then we become a better Hindu, a better Muslim, a better Catholic, a better whatever we are.  What God is in your mind you must accept," end quote.

That statement alone would have anyone who reads the bible say, “Well that’s not true,” we know that there is no under name under name under heave by which we must be saved. We also know that when Paul wrote to the Galatians he stated in chapter 1 versus 8-9:

“But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed.  As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed.”

We really need to ask ourselves:

1.       Is the Bible true?

2.       Do I believe everything it says?

3.       Am I will to search it out so I can show myself approved?

We cannot afford to believe something just because someone of significance says it, we must search the scriptures to see what our Lord says about it.

There are others that have believers chasing a rabbit trail that at times eventually has them question their faith. Because of the fact that prophecies that people claim do not come true, and they end up saying is it all worth it.

Two men to be careful of that are spreading the “blood Moon” idea are one, either out of their mind or two, doing it for profitable gain; Mark Blitz and John Hagee, of course what these guys are claiming is false and we must be Bereans and search the scripture. There are thousand listening and believing what they are saying.

Answers in Genesis have a great article that gives a lot clearer detail to help us understand what the scriptures speak of concerning the “Blood Moon”.

Jude wanted to write about the joys of the common salvation that all believers are part of, but he was compelled because of the heresies that were making head way to believers in the faith. There is so much that is going on and there is so much that is being believed that should be but is all of this we need to be diligent and studying the scriptures not falling for every wind of doctrine that comes our way.

Jesus is sufficient
