Harsh Words toward others
Q: How do you justify using such
harsh words toward what others teach? Don't you believe Christ when he
said you should not judge others?
A: It is not a matter of bad
mouthing anyone. I personally try to be as patient and encouraging as I
can with a new believer, but to the teachers? We are told to expose them
-- Eph 5:11. Too often the pressure is applied to use kinder words, to be
more tolerant and if we don't then we are sinning by judging others -- this is
mostly, not to improve us as believers, but used to shut us and others, those
who would dare question the Pastor, up.
Taking scripture out of context -- Judge Not that you be
not judged -- and other statements like -- Let him without sin cast the first
stone -- twisted to shut up anyone that would do as YaHshua did, calling out
the Children of Satan -- John 8:43-45. And the Satan, their father, is
able to pose as an Angel of Light -- 2 Cor 11:13-15. And we are
told how his children are deceivers and liars, virtual imposters -- 2 Tim
3:13. And we are not to call them out? By the judgment club, they
accuse you of being the real sinner, and this usually shuts up anyone who asks
questions, questions that might expose them for what they are -- this is how it
gets twisted.
The enemies of our Savior, like wolves dressed in Lamb's
clothing -- Mat 7:15, -- should be protected and NOT call out? No, but
we, if strong enough are charged with calling them out -- . Those
Pastors, preachers, and teachers who know better will hammer you with the Judgment Club --
Yes, be nice, and encourage the believer, but the false
prophets and teachers and those pretending to be what they are not?
Sooner or later the child that is learning to crawl must stand up
on their feet, and start taking, moving from milk stronger meat, stronger words
-- Heb 5:12-14 -- it is a matter of growth. Encourage the seeker but call
out the lies, the deception, expose thise using false humility, pretending to
be something they are not. Yes, there are some wonderful people out
there, but where are the people that are tired of being ignorant in the Word they
claim they believe in -- or is it the smooth words of the pastor they believe
in?
(Col 2:18) Let no one deprive you of the prize, one
who takes delight in false humility and worship of messengers, taking his stand
on what he has not seen, puffed up by his fleshly mind, TS2009
(Eph 5:11) And have no fellowship with the
fruitless works of darkness, but rather convict them. TS2009
(Eph 5:11) And have no fellowship with the
unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. KJV
(Eph 5:11) Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of
darkness, but rather expose them. NIV
No matter the translation it all comes down to the same
thing. If you are going to convict, reprove, or expose those fakers then
sometimes you have to use harsh words, just like our Savior, YaHshua did when
reproving the religious leaders of that time. You cannot read any of the
four Gospels and miss how He was kind and had great mercy on those without
understanding and on the poor and those suffering but when it came to those who
were supposed to be religious leaders? He argued and corrected and even,
at one point, called them children of Satan -- He said they were of their
father, Satan -- strong words, harsh words. John 8:44 and 1 John
3:10
(2Th 2:9-10) The coming of the lawless one is
according to the working of Satan, with all power and signs and wonders of
falsehood, and with all deceit of unrighteousness in those perishing,
because they did not receive the love of the truth, in order for them to be
saved. TS2009
