Things New and Old

Ancient truths revealed in the Scriptures are often forgotten, disbelieved or distorted, and therefore lost in the passage of time. Such ancient truths when rediscovered and relearned are 'new' additions to the treasury of ancient truths.

Christ showed many new things to the disciples, things prophesied by the prophets of old but hijacked and perverted by the elders and their traditions, but which Christ reclaimed and returned to His people.

Many things taught by the Apostles of Christ have been perverted or substituted over the centuries. Such fundamental doctrines like salvation by grace and justification have been hijacked and perverted and repudiated by sincere Christians. These doctrines need to be reclaimed and restored to God's people.

There are things both new and old here. "Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things"
2Ti 2:7.

Beware of spoilers and beguilers! Beware!

 
Piping music to lull you into the river of ruin!

Beware of spoilers and beguilers! Beware!
Such make paupers of God's children!

Colossians 2
4 "And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words."
8 "Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ."
18 Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,
19 And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.

Beguilers bear these marks:
- They intrude into those things which they have not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind! Ignorance of and departure from revelation, they resort to speculation and imagination and fables.
- They hold not to the Head, thus cut off from the sole source of spiritual nourishment, incapable of ministering nourishment to the saints, but peddle POISONOUS junk and fables...
- Instead of bringing increases with the increase of God through the gospel ministry ordained by God, instead of building up the saints, they tear down and destroy the faith of God's children, plundering them of their treasures and riches in Christ Jesus!

Oh, watch out for your soul!

Stay far away from the spoilers and beguilers!

Hirelings and plunderers are everywhere!

You are AMPLY warned!
