Just
because you attend church services does not mean you are a Christian. I
have seen so many people attend church services and pretend to be a
Christian then turn around and as soon as they are out the church doors
they are right back out in their sin. I have seen people who claim to be
doing the Lord's service, but who take the glory for them self and do
not give God the glory. I have seen so many people who are pretend
Christians that it does hurt those who are not Christians and influences
them not to become Christians. Do you not realize that you will be held
accountable for every person that you have caused to turn away from the
Lord? This goes for pastors, teachers of the Bible, and everyone. Yes,
it does say this in the Bible! Also remember that just because you think
you are serving the Lord but in truth are serving self and taking the
glory, that should be the Lord's and applying it to yourself, you are at
fault. Yes it says this in the Bible. Now some preachers, priest,
pastors, teachers of the Bible, and others do not and will not tell you
so. They will be held accountable for not telling you. Yes, it is in the
Bible.
Thankfully if we are humble and repent the Lord forgives, just do not return to your sin.
Matthew 7:21-23(KJV)
21) Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the
kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in
heaven.
22) Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we
not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in
thy name done many wonderful works?
23) And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Matthew 12:30-37 (KJV)
30) He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.
31) Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be
forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be
forgiven unto men.
32) And whosoever speaketh a word against the
Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against
the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world,
neither in the world to come.
33) Either make the tree good, and
his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt:
for the tree is known by his fruit.
34) O generation of vipers,
how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of
the heart the mouth speaketh.
35) A good man out of the good
treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of
the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.
36) But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
37) For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
2 Corinthians 11:12-15(KJV)
12) But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from
them which desire occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be found
even as we.
13) For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
14) And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
15) Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed
as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to
their works.
1 John 4:1-6(KJV)
1) Beloved, believe not
every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many
false prophets are gone out into the world.
2) Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
3) And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in
the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof
ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the
world.
4) Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
5) They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.
6) We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God
heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of
error.
2 John 9-11 (KJV)
9) Whosoever transgresseth, and
abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in
the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
10) If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:
11) For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.
Romans 1:20-32 (KJV)
20) For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are
clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his
eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
21)
Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither
were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish
heart was darkened.
22) Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23) And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made
like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and
creeping things.
24) Wherefore God also gave them up to
uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their
own bodies between themselves:
25) Who changed the truth of God
into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the
Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26) For this cause God
gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the
natural use into that which is against nature:
27) And likewise
also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust
one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and
receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
28) And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God
gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not
convenient;
29) Being filled with all unrighteousness,
fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy,
murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30) Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31) Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32) Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things
are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them
that do them.
Luke 17:1-4 (KJV)
1)Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!
2) It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck,
and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little
ones.
3) Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.
4) And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven
times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive
him.
Matthew 18:6-7 (KJV)
6) But whoso shall offend one of
these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a
millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the
depth of the sea.
7) Woe unto the world because of offences! for
it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the
offence cometh!
Ezekiel 33:1-9(KJV)
1) Again the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
2) Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them,
When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man
of their coasts, and set him for their watchman:
3) If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people;
4) Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not
warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon
his own head.
5) He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not
warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall
deliver his soul.
6) But if the watchman see the sword come, and
blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come,
and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity;
but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand.
7) So thou, O
son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel;
therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me.
8) When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die; if
thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man
shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
9) Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if
he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou
hast delivered thy soul.
Ezekiel 3:16-21(KJV)
16) And it came to pass at the end of seven days, that the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
17) Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel:
therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.
18) When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest
him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to
save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his
blood will I require at thine hand.
19) Yet if thou warn the
wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he
shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.
20)
Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and
commit iniquity, and I lay a stumbling-block before him, he shall die:
because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and
his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his
blood will I require at thine hand.
21) Nevertheless if thou warn
the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he
shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy
soul.
