2 Timothy 4:1-4 People heap to themselves false teachers who tickle their ears, give them a “feel good” message.
Most Christians typically/generally have a false ideal of what Jesus was like, because the false churches and false preachers are actually very ignorant of the bible.
Today, I am going to share several bible verses that most Christians don’t realize are in the bible, and which contradicts the traditional “image” of Jesus that they have in their minds.
Matthew 5:17-19 The 10 Commandments not removed or changed, contrary to “tickle the ear” doctrines.
They are trying to “baby” the people, teach them that there is no responsibility or requirements or law or commandments. Lawless. Just “do as you want” which is Buddhism and atheism.
7:5-6, 1 “Do not judge” is always taken out of context. The context shows very clearly that Jesus was talking about not judging hypocritically before we clean up our own lives. But after you do clean up your own life, then you can judge and help others. But don’t cast your pearls of great truth to worthless people who treat the truth as trash.
Jesus called people pigs, hypocrites, snakes, dogs and fools. Direct opposite of the traditional false image of Jesus that doesn’t point out sin, never condemns, doesn’t insult, doesn’t offend.
Some people think that my image/idea of Jesus is only wrath/anger. No way! I fully understand and cherish God’s mercy, love and grace. But it’s wrong to ignore his anger, and his commandments and many of his words. We must consider all of the scriptures, all of it! Not just only the “baby feel good” verses.
Proverbs 9:10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom!
Matthew 7:21-23 False traditional Christians and their leaders do not know the true Jesus. They work at breaking the law, and teach others to do so also.
There is truly a time of judgment coming, and this verses reveals that the judgment is coming to people who firmly believe that they are saved! Not just people who never believed.
10:11-15 Remove blessing/peace from people who don’t accept the truth.
:34-39 Jesus did not come to bring peace, but a sword, and to cause division within families.
For true salvation, we are required to crucify our former/previous self and surrender much to Christ. Following Christ in the truth requires very much, not just one prayer.
Luke 14:16-26 Must be willing to forsake anyone/anything for Christ if necessary. This would include wives, husband, children, parents, homes, land, jobs, etc.
Matthew 15:6-9 Jesus does not accept all worship. The sacrifice of worship must be acceptable. Not all worship is acceptable.
Deuteronomy 12:29-32 Don’t add pagan worship to what God has commanded. Christmas, Easter and Sunday was never commanded by God, nor observed by the disciples and apostles. Plain and simple. This is very simple and easy to understand, but people use every excuse that they can think of to add unclean pagan worship to our Holy GOD!
We absolutely can’t take unclean Christmas, Easter and Sunday and worship our Holy God with these unclean, pagan things.
Matthew 19:16-24 Jesus told the rich man to sell everything and give it away. Although this isn’t a requirement for every person, this verse and other verses does show that in general, for most people, it is God’s will for people to be minimalists.
It’s better to spend more money on the gospel and helping other people, rather than enriching ourselves in material/physical possessions.
21:12 Jesus threw and over turned tables in a great fit of rage/anger.
Revelation 19:7-18 righteousness according to the law.
Jesus will return in a great fit of rage/anger.
:8 “righteousness according to the law” not according to grace.
:11 He judges and wages war.
:13 His robe soaked in the blood of his enemies. (Isaiah 63:1-6)
:15 wrath = anger. He’s not coming back washing feet or shaking hands. But rather in intense anger.
Hebrews 4:8-9 Requirement of 7th day Sabbath still remains.
All of these verses paint a completely different image of Jesus in our minds/heads than what is traditionally taught. Yes He is merciful and has much grace and love. But let us see the complete picture of God, not just a very narrow inaccurate picture. We love God for all of his characteristics including the fact that He punishes those people who deserve it. The world is full of wickedness. We can take comfort that He will will destroy the wicked and the lawless.
We can take comfort in the fact that there are many requirements to true salvation and not just one prayer and faith alone. Because not everyone is worthy of The Kingdom. If God allowed all traditional Christians into The Kingdom, then The Kingdom would be greatly corrupted and unclean.
