The Reality of Their Works.

Once again the same theme yet I repeat it over and over until it reaches someone. That is comprehend not just read words. Frankly, it is all about what we do as an individual not what we profess, promise or say. That is for each of us great and small. So lets take a real look at many today who profess yet do the opposite or nothing. We do that by a simple method, that is looking at the fruits of their labor. Yes our fruits, since we are accountable for ours to God.
Yet sadly once again, there are many who presume they are righteous and have done much even while "qualifying" many and excluding them. Yes as one stated to me personally "I follow the rules not the bible." That is their man made rules. Yet they are identified by the world differently then those in need, who as our president calls them, the "irresponsible". No, they are identified as the good and decent as defined by man and society, really. Why, well lets look at it. They go to church, serve on committees, wear the robes, garments and vestments and profess all the right things. As I said, all outward signs and symbols while they always seek to be noticed and let people know what they have done or are doing as because they covet to sit at the head table with the Pastor, Bishop, Cardinal. Yes, let your left hand know what the right is doing. Yes and they will chastise, qualify, rebuke, demean, lecture and scrutinize many while doing their righteous works.
However, I ask you, me and all who profess to read, discern and think about Acts Chapters 2 verses 42-45, Chapter 4, verses 32 -36 and Acts Chapter 5 Verse 1-10 and then go back and re- read the letters to the seven churches. Have YOU read and comprehended what this writes to? Do you find this in the churches today? If so, how many and is it true?
Yes sadly in these troubled times even though many profess to help they will say "don't you ever come to us again" or, "you are not in our district", "you do not belong to our church," you are not registered, PROFESSING ALL THE WHILE THE OPPOSITE BY DEED.
If you have the time read what the early fathers stated about the apostasy to come as a clear sign of the end. There are so many references to it even the last Pope John was distressed about what was happening in his church that he felt could not be stopped and was inevitable. facts my friends for those who do believe.
Now Christians understand no man can or your works get you to heaven. No,it is how we are known by, the fruits of our labors. Yet those works, deeds follow after TRUE BELIEVERS. Wow got that, TRUE BELIEVERS. Let me ask as I must ask myself, just where are you in this journey? I think the scripture I have mentioned spells it all out clearly and while many will find contradiction, argument, conflict, because they are of the world, it is what it is spelled out clearly and precisely. What church are you? Who are you, Christian, really?
Of course that brings us to our leaders in any field but predominantly our political leaders. Yes, they "love" us, that is their fellow Americans. Yes to death. In many forms they originate, condone, accept falsehood, lies, deceit, corruption, sin but thats OK they say they re good and decent. So, ok, just what do I mean? Well here are a few facts of their works implemented by them.
1- 2005 Bankruptcy reform bill totally destroys people, crushes them. It doesn't impact you, hey lucky in your arrogance but what if? Why, well lets you the words of the State of Florida's Attorney General who recently stated and to paraphrase him, many use deceptive, and fraudulent marketing and deceit. Ok, how about credit cards for one? What, well lets look at "unsecured debt", credit cards and signature loans, really, hello, duh. Yes the law of contracts, God forbid please don't mention that. Yes they accept the risk, really, hello? Yes it worked for them while they switched from a savings environment that worked to that of a usury driven, unsecured debt society with many are being crushed with today. Oh, their fault, not yours, really, hello, duh. Sorry to be so direct but evidently and in my opinion you might be, just like them.
2- Of course we could talk about the cash for clunkers for the wealthy to buy that new car. Do you think average people could use that program. Yes and fools never even got the manufacturers rebate they used tax dollars and are paying it back themselves, fact. How about the local Home Stabilization Program, to help lower income people buy a home, really, hello, duh. Then you have the ever popular loan modification to save you from Foreclosure, really. Yes and of course jobs. Now lets see I have written to this years ago and I have to ask again, what jobs? Really, hello, double hello.
3- We could talk about this other major farce by opinion and experience like Consumer Protection. Really, hello, Hollow, do nothing, collect data agencies, by fact.
4- We could talk about health care and that everyone will pay and if you don't you get fined. That is if you have a hardship, really. Yes defined on your gross income and how many you live in your home. Never mind a sick person or relative with little or nothing. No, in my opinion and that of many we will pay while they cut peoples benefits that really need help. Like I stated, just an opinion by experience.
5- Yes and Cap and Trade to help our energy costs and self sufficiency. Yes even the president says we will all pay more, fact, check it out. Yes and your power provider, well pay or else we have a business to run.
Yes "Help is on the way" and has approved for those who do not need it, FACT! Yes sorry, wake up. Oh, I forgot, most of you are the have and don't want to hear this. You see the average and poor can't afford a phone, the Internet, cable so they don't or rarely get to read this. Yes remember cable, advertised as "free" TV without commercial interruption when it first came out, really. No, just who will PAY FOR IT ALL even while you doubt and scorn that. Hey someone has to pay, right. Can the poor? Can the average working guy or gal or family? No its YOU who have and they already have it going in the Tax Tables.
So take this, read it as opinion and a sign of the times. Yes by their works they are known and its all there for those to see and know, that is who do not have a strong delusion. Hey tough words for tough times.
Best wishes. peace.

MarijoPlease log in to respond to this comment.Thank you so much for reading, responding and your kind words. I am admittingly direct but I feel the importance of truth cannot be ignored. Sadly, only the few can accept this and you are one who recognizes that importance. Awhile ago I withdrew from Searchwarp because of that interest. I then wrote the majority of the time on Webgazine. Now that it is no longer available I return to searchwarp every so often. Best wishes and blessings, Robert.Please log in to respond to this comment.What happened to Webgazine? I only noticed now that you said something that this wasn't posted there. We are to share the truth in love - how bad would it be if we saw our neighbor's home on fire and sat on our porch in our rocking chairs? We need to go and tell and try to wake them up (with the gospel and other things which are, in my estimation, not healthy for the good old US of A.
