Head In The Sand



Head In The Sand,
Eyes Covered, &
Ears Plugged
or
(Do Not Be Ignorant)

by  Crossfire



     He who will not open his eyes and see, has no advantage over he who can not.

     The majority of those in today’s church hold fast to many errors, false beliefs, and have incorporated many pagan beliefs and rituals into their worship.   They also worship the Israelis and/or the Jewish people (they cannot serve two masters).  They don’t call it worship, they just loving them.  That’s fine, but what about everyone else?  They will attack you if you question their love (how loving is that?).   A person dare not question anything “Jewish” for fear of being pounced upon and torn to shreds and hit with all kinds of catch phrases and one liners .

    The Church celebrates Halloween, Easter, and put up “Christmas trees” (often even with Santa and toys).  They prohibit anyone divorced from preaching or teaching (even though God said that He divorced Israel).  They even call their Savior “Jesus” (just because the KJV translators wrote it that way).  Some churches even worship the King James version of the Bible, calling it God’s perfect and protected Word. Many churches practice Landmarkism.   I can and have addressed (in earlier writings) all the subjects above (some of them are covered in my book “False gods of Today’s Christian Church”  at www.lulu.com).

     Here is the problem.  Right now some of you do not see what is wrong with any of the above.  Right now many have excuses or try to explain away any of the above errors and justify the incorporation of pagan holidays and practices into their church.  And just saying: “Well, the important thing is Jesus.”  does not really address any of it.

     The Apostle Paul, speaking on different subjects, twice told the church not to be ignorant.  If they weren’t ignorant, he would not have had to tell them.  He wasn’t saying: “You’re smart now, but don’t start getting stupid on me”. No, he wanted them to understand.   Understanding is important and enlightening, ignorance is not.

“Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, . . . “  (Romans 1:13 KJV)
“But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, . . .”  (1 Thessalonians 4:13 KJV)

Clearly, there were things he knew they were ignorant about, they hadn’t got it yet!  Today’s Church haven’t got it yet.  They just keep repeating the same incorrect information over and over again.  They have always believed it that way, so it must be true.

     Truth is much like leaven, with a little you will gain more (I Corinthians 5:6)   Without even a little (even if you think you have it) what you think you have is useless and gone.  We are told this three times in the scriptures

“For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.”  (Matthew 13:12 KJV)

“For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.”  (Matthew 25:29 KJV)

“Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have.”  (Luke 8:18 KJV)

    It is amazing how one truth will lead to another truth, to another truth, to another.  While the more a person rejects truth, the harder it is for them to find any.

I recently read a statement by someone the read: 

“Truth is truth, even if no one believes it.  A lie is a lie even if everyone believes it!”

   It amazing me how many will defend their false beliefs and in affect cover their ears and close their eyes for fear that some truth might get in.  They treat the truth like they should treat the devil, they resist it and it flees from them.

     Brothers and sisters, I join Paul in saying:  I would not have you to be ignorant”.  Use a little discernment.  If any of you would like more information on any of the examples given above, feel free to contact me.  On FaceBook; “Chaplain Crossfire”  or write to me at P.O.
