THE SEVEN STARS ARE THE ANGELS OF THE SEVEN
CHURCHES AND THE SEVEN LAMPSTANDS WHICH YOU SAW ARE THE SEVEN CHURCHES....REVELATION 1 :
20. |
THE 7 CHURCHES -- CHRISTIAN OR HEATHEN?
There is nothing
that stirs this preacher more than liars
and lies... praise God for His grace.. 1 Timothy 4:2.
Most have heard of the OSAS doctrine .. once saved always saved or once saved
cannot be lost teaching of man. Included in this particular slant of exposition/bible
teaching, is the belief that the ..seven churches.. were not actually made up of
(born again) believers or saints as it were.
My questions are these:
1 . . What were the seven stars doing in Jesus right hand if they were
not ?.. stars/church leaders... Revelation 2:1
2 . . What was Jesus doing walking in the seven churches if they were
not His peoples?.. Revelation 2:1
3 . . What was the devil about to throw some of the people into prison
for if they were of him and not Jesus?.. Revelation 2:10
4 . . Why were the people holding fast to Jesus name and not denying the
faith with Antipas being martyred in the midst of them for Christ?... Revelation 2:13
I really dont see any need to continue on, it would be an utter slaughter to do so,
therefore I shall make one more statement before winding up in all of the letters to the
seven churches Jesus repeatedly says.. to the overcomers!.... and
he
who has an ear, let him hear the Holy Ghost.
God is not one that He would expect a unsaved, degenerated, weakling sinner or a religious
hypocrite with only head knowledge to .. Overcome!.. or understand Holy Ghost
Counsel. There is no doubt remaining that the letters that were written to the seven
churches were written to saints
John 10:27.
Even the words of Revelation 3:1.. clearly state that the people of the church at
Sardis were once alive to Christ and were now dead, their relationship was in jeopardy ..
Jesus will come for those who remain and are alive!..1 Thessalonians 4:17.. are you
alive to Christs commands?
Just as an extra blessing.. what did Jesus call the church at Ephesus?. He called
them loveless.. they had left their first love, who was that?.. it was Jesus, the one whom
the OSAS teachers say didnt have a relationship with the seven churches. Jesus told
them to repent and return, how can you return to a place where you have never been?..
Revelation 2:4,5.
My suggestion is to all readers, that you be very careful as to who you allow to teach you
and shepherd you1for your own souls sake.. Acts 17:11.
Amen.
