The Wrong Church

Discern and do not stay in a Church with whom God would not be pleased in their teachings and doings. The Churches of Revelation / Key of David  II John 1:10-11

Luke 16:15 And He said unto them, "Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.

Beyond simply misrepresenting God's Word through false teachings and traditions of men, the churches with whom God is displeased are the same ones who outwardly hold a 'holier than thou' attitude but inwardly are not even close. 

Matthew 23:3; 24-28 All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.

Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess. Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness. Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.

Mark 7:9 And He said unto them, "Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.

Matthew 15:14 Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch."

I really enjoy the way Jesus can cut straight to the heart of a matter. No words wasted; no games played. No black and white religion; just right and wrong. No judgement or arrogance. Just truth, and always love.
