Christ Jesus is proclaiming the truth, the so-called churches are hiding in sin!

THE SITUATION
You here it from some of you’re Christian buddies, they tell you of members of their church that are living in sin. They talk to you about a friend that loves Jesus supposedly yet is a practicing homosexual. Oh to them that person is just as saved and filled with the Holy Ghost, as you are. Yeah! The cover up their mess that we have to LOVE like Jesus and not judge, and try to prove to you this sinner is stuggling with some things. What??? They say “Pastor is sleeping with the ladies, yet he loves Jesus”! “He is just struggling in some things!” What? Oh no, your pastor and those so-called Christians are on their way to hell, lest they repent and believe the Gospel of Jesus Christ. O brother Karsten, how can you say such a thing? Well let’s look at the scriptures and hear what thus says the Lord.

Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother. (1 John 3:4-10)

Now, before you go saying with the argument, “so you saying I cannot sin Karsten!”. Let’s look into this thing and really understand. Verse 6 says:

Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.

The Greek word for sinneth is hamartano ham-ar-tan'-o. This word means in its bible usage : 1) to be without a share in 2) to miss the mark 3) to err, be mistaken 4) to miss or wander from the path of uprightness and honour, to do or go wrong 5) to wander from the law of God, violate God's law, sin

They key is when you look at the tense, mood, and voice of this verb, it is in the Present Active Participle. This indicates that the action happens over and over again (continuous practice of). It is not limited to a one time deal. So put plainly, a Christian that commits a sin is a single event. But a so-called Christian practices sin habitually? It’s impossible that the person is a Christian.

You don’t believe me yet, you still think your sinning pastor or friend really loves Jesus and obeys His commands. You think he can be a homosexual and preach the Word of God. You’re saying you’ve seen them speak in tongues, and praise Jesus? Oh so that makes them a Christian? No my friend. Let’s look at Peter for a minute. Alright here comes the scripture:

And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone. (John 1:42)

Here Jesus is showing that He is the Messiah because God has the given power to change a name to bring life and change in character (i.e – when Jacob was named Israel Genesis 32:28). Well the name Simon means the following: “Hot-Tempered, volatile, and violent.” Well we know from the scripture that Peter lived up to this sinful lifestyle.

When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord. (Luke 5:8)

Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crew. (Matthew 26:74)

Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus. (John 18:10)

Even Christ told him:

And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren. (Luke 22:31-32)

So you see at this point Peter was practicing his sin. Yes, he was. But when Jesus Christ converted him to be the like Cephas, we see a different life come out. And what does Cephas mean? In the Aramaic term, it means “Stable as a rock or in the Greek (Petros) – Stone. And we see the conversion of Peter where he strengthened his brethren:

But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words: (Acts 2:14)

Now I want you to search hard and see where you see Peter striking anybody with a sword or cursing and swearing again and again? Where do you see him saying again that he lives as a sinful man? You won’t find it. You will find some wrong behavior:

But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed. For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision. And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation. But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews? (Galatians 2:11-14)

Want to see a little Christian resolve from Peter after Paul’s correction? No problem let the scripture show you:

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; 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. 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. 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 3:15-18)

CHRIST THE REVEALER

See, the Christ Jesus of the bible is open about the sins of His own. He doesn’t hide it and try and cover it up. Christ Jesus doesn’t try and vouch for sinners continuance in sin. No, Jesus Christ came to save them out of their sin (Luke 19:10). Let’s look at the bible. Where do you see Jesus Christ overlooking the sin of the woman in John 8? He didn’t condemn her, but what did our Messiah deal with: her sin. O you still don’t believe me?

When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more. (John 8:10-11)

STOP, wait, what did he tell the adulterous woman? Go and what? Sin no more, because the loving, merciful and wrathful God wanted to free her from what? SIN. No cover up or saying “you just keep loving the Lord, I'll pray for you!” It’s true love to deal with sin (1 Corinthians 13:6).

THE HIDERS

So when you get mad at me because I tell your pastors like Jamal Byrant, Creflo Dollar, T.D. Jakes, Fred Price, Todd Bentley, TBN and so on are on their way to hell (on the road to), lest they repent and believe the Gospel, don’t get mad at me. Look at the scriptures and hold their doctrine they teach and lives they live up to the bible, The Word of God.

Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple. (Romans 16:17-18)

Did I say condemn them? No! But we must understand that the Lord Jesus Christ was honest about sinful lifestyles. Why are these churches trying to cover things up? Why are they trying to affirm sinful lifestyles and say it’s Christian? Did they not read this?

Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. (Galatians 5:19-21)

Cash Flow and others don’t want to deal with this. Why? They’ll lose their congregations that support their lavish lifestyles. They have done like the unbelieving Jews that James speaks:

Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you. Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten. Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days. Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth. Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter. Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you. (James 5:1-6)

I had a Christian brother of mine tell me God allows these so-called men of God to be rich. There’s nothing wrong with gaining riches. Why my brother are you covering for these liars? Why? Is it because Eddie Long spoke a message really touched your spirit? It made you feel good didn’t it? But what did the Word of God do to you?

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. (2 Timothy 3:16-17)

My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction: For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth. (Proverbs 3:11-12)

Jamal Bryant isn’t doing that. Creflo is not doing that. No, the sinning pastor is opening the bible, twisting scripture and giving you false hope. He’s telling you, claim it in the blood and demand of God your authority! And you say that speaks to your spirit. You say that is lifting you up. But the secular churches are not dealing with what is making you sick: SIN. Oh no, they’re keeping their sinful lifestyles hidden. The may give you hints of what their doing in their sermons, but they are not coming out and admitting it. But what does the Lord say:

But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the LORD: and be sure your sin will find you out. (Numbers 32:23)

The Christian does not do this. He doesn’t try and lie to you about sin. Look at James as he finishes his letter speaking to the brethren about their sins:

Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him; Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins. (James 5:19-20)

MY APPEAL

My appeal to you is to follow after the Lord Jesus Christ Christians. Be imitators of the Lord Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 11:1) I love Creflo Dollar, Fred Price, Jamal Bryant and so on. I am not attacking them. My love is for you not to be deceived or fall for their tricks/lies. I have. I have gone into debt trying out their false doctrines. See, I am not angry at them, I am appealing to you to follow after the Lord Jesus Christ of the bible. I want you to grow in the Word and become fruitful Christians. Stop chasing the money and the fame, all the things that are doing nothing for your soul! Chase after the Word of God and seek the Lord Jesus Christ. Set your affection upon Him. I love you my brethren. Here’s my final appeal from the scripture:

If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience: In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them. But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him: Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all. Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. (Colossians 3:1-17)
