I try never to misrepresent the beliefs of other Christians, but neither do I consider myself not to be a Christian person despite disagreeing with most. I also think most Christians claiming to be biblical are far from it, and I include LDS, JW, Baptist, Pentecostals, Catholics and the whole lot. CS Lewis drowned in WWI and what came back was bad theology. Honestly if its down to biblical understanding then all is lost. In my opinion. Lost. Lost. Lost.
WW1 was a turning point in history.....biblically, and in every other way, according to historians. I believe that “the last days” of this present world began with that event (Matthew 24:2-14) and that the time of separation (wheat from weeds) had begun. The wheat needed to identify itself and completely separate from the entire field of weeds, sown by the devil. (Matthew 13:24-30) God foretold a cleansing and refining of his worshippers at this time. (Daniel 12:4; 9-10)
The truth was never lost......it was just not heard above the shouting.....denounced and often murdered for daring to speak up about the pagan doctrines that had crept in and taken "Christianity" completely away from its beginnings. And now, since the Reformation, many have lamented the pathetically divided state of the Christian Faith, but Jesus’ true disciples down through the centuries, always knew that the “cramped and narrow road” was going to be a challenge for them. (John 15:18-21)
The truth could never be lost, and never open to the interpretation of one person. There must be others who share our beliefs. (1 Corinthians 1:10) Following the ideas of a man is how Christendom became so divided.
It had been established that from small beginnings in the first century, the prophesy in Isaiah had to be fulfilled....
Isaiah 60:21-22...
"All your people will be godly; they will possess the land permanently.
I will plant them like a shoot;
they will be the product of my labor,
through whom I reveal my splendor.
22 The least of you will multiply into a thousand;
the smallest of you will become a large nation.
When the right time comes, I the Lord will quickly do this!” (NET)
In these times when the harvest is about to be carried out, there will be a large nation from small beginnings, just like it was in the first century. These will possess the land permanently....the ones Jesus spoke about when he said that the "meek shall inherit the Earth".
All who profess to be "Christians" or claiming Jesus as their "Lord", will be judged by the same criteria.....and it is quite strict according to Jesus' words concerning his judgment....
" Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the kingdom of heaven—only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven. 22 On that day, many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, didn’t we prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many powerful deeds in your name?’ 23 Then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you. Go away from me, you lawbreakers!’" (NET)
Apparently "many" will be shocked at Jesus' rejection of their brand of "Christianity".......he says he "never knew" them, and calls them "Lawbreakers"....what makes a person a "Christian" in the eyes of our Lord and judge?.....whose laws are they breaking?
