Apostles Gone

Apostles sent by God become a spectacle display to humans and angels alike, like prisoners of war at the end of a victor’s parade, condemned to die.

1 Corinthians 4:9 For I think that God has displayed us, the apostles, last, as men condemned to death; for we have been made a spectacle to the world, both to angels and to men.

They left a book of legacy for generations to come sealed by David that can only be read by a blessed reader.

Revelation 1:3 Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it; for the time is near.

Anybody can ask a question or a reason of their hope and he will read the answer straight from the book of the Lord - No reference in any other book whatsoever.

Isaiah 34:16 “ Search from the book of the LORD, and read: Not one of these shall fail; Not one shall lack her mate. For My mouth has commanded it, and His Spirit has gathered them.

1 Peter 3:15 15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear;

The blessed reader is the only person who can explain everything to everyone and everywhere in the world the entire gospel of Christ.

Acts 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

By the blessed reader, the Apostles can still preached even unto the uttermost part of the earth up to the end of the world for everything that they have seen and heard was translated and written for us. But, Who will be our Apostle and High Priest when all the Apostles are all dead and gone?

Hebrews 3:1 Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Christ Jesus,

Hebrews 7:24-25 But He, because He continues forever, has an unchangeable priesthood. Therefore He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.

What we need is a reader, not Apostle or Priest for we have Christ Jesus that continues forever and can not be changed. If there is one claiming to be, then, he is a fake and a liar.

Lyrics:

Where have all the Apostles gone, long time passing?
Where have all the Apostles gone, long time ago?
Where have all the Apostles gone?
Fake Priests pick them, every one
When will they ever learn, when will they ever learn?

Author Of Confusion

The question of those that don't believe God is: Who created God?

Let us take a closer look on what the Scripture is saying about God.

Isaiah 43:10 “ You are My witnesses,” says the LORD, “ And My servant whom I have chosen, That you may know and believe Me, And understand that I am He. Before Me there was no God formed, Nor shall there be after Me.

Isaiah 43:13 Indeed before the day was, I am He; And there is no one who can deliver out of My hand; I work, and who will reverse it?”

There is an specific commandment for everyone regarding on whom to worship.

Romans 1:25 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.

Ecclesiastes 12:1 Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them;

When John tried to worship the Angel that showed him what will happen in the future, he was rebuked by the Angel himself.

Revelation 19:10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, “See that you do not do that! I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren who have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”

Logically, if God is also created then Romans 1:25 does not apply for it will after all contradict itself. It would appear that this whole scripture is wrong.

1 Corinthians 14:33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.

Keeping The Words Of This Book

One of my friend in Facebook, Solomon Seal Samuel from Nigeria, asked me this question. How would you justify your belief in God?

To understand it better, let's use parallelism to show that this example has the same level of importance.

Basically the wife hated mostly the drinking, smoking and gambling vices of their husband.

If the husband stop drinking & gambling but continue smoking, can he justify his belief that he's in love?

James 2:10 For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is guilty of all.

James 3: 2 For we all stumble in many things. If anyone does not stumble in word, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body.

Blessed is he who keeps the words of this prophecy.

Revelation 1:3 Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it; for the time is near.

This is how I justify my belief.

Bible Study Without Learning

I have attended several bible studies in the past. Joined different religious groups and organizations. Made my own bible study at home but still no understanding of the knowledge of the truth.

2 Timothy 3:7 always learning but never able to acknowledge the truth.

The stories in the Bible are great, the literal meaning can easily be understood, but the spiritual meaning of it is very hard to understand.

Unless there is one who reads and interpret the prophecy, everything is meaningless and can be dangerous.

Revelation 1:3 Blessed is the one who reads the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near.

2 Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,

2 Timothy 3:17 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.

Isaiah 34:16 Seek ye out of the book of the LORD, and read: no one of these shall fail, none shall want her mate: for my mouth it hath commanded, and his spirit it hath gathered them.

Inherent to a preacher or a priest is the ability to answer because Christians must ask questions to know the reason.

Haggai 2:11 "This is what the LORD Almighty says: 'Ask the priests what the law says:

1 Peter 3:15 But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect,

Why do we have to test the spirits of the pastors, priest or preachers.

1 John 4:1 Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

For every preacher must have words and wisdom that no one can resist or contradict.

Luke 21:15 For I will give you words and wisdom that none of your adversaries will be able to resist or contradict.

Preachers of today don't want to argue or start discussion for the reason that they want peace. Well, this is not true, because a preacher must compare, dispute and debate issues not in accordance with the scriptures.

Ecclesiastes 7:27 “ Here is what I have found,” says the Preacher, “ Adding one thing to the other to find out the reason,

Isaiah 58:1 "Shout it aloud, do not hold back. Raise your voice like a trumpet. Declare to my people their rebellion and to the house of Jacob their sins.

An Apostles of Christ must have this character.

Acts 15:2 This brought Paul and Barnabas into sharp dispute and debate with them. So Paul and Barnabas were appointed, along with some other believers, to go up to Jerusalem to see the apostles and elders about this question.

Acts 9:28 So Saul stayed with them and moved about freely in Jerusalem, speaking boldly in the name of the Lord.

Acts 9:29 He talked and debated with the Grecian Jews, but they tried to kill him.

If you are therefore in a Bible group study or fellowship without learning, then obviously, your Preacher, Pastor or Priest is not a man of God who is ready to speak boldly, argue, dispute, debate and ever ready to wrestle.

Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
