"DO NOT MAKE MY FATHER'S HOUSE
(which is the BUILDING you call church)
A PLACE OF MERCHANDISE"
(quoting Jesus in John 2:16)
"STOP MAKING IT LOOK LIKE A DEN OF THIEVES"
(quoting GOD himself in Jeremiah 7:10, et al)
PAYING*TO HEAR GOD'S WORD :
Not taking money to teach His Word is not a "new" Law from Almighty God. It in fact dates back to hundreds of years before Christ, where The Lord used the prophet Micah to proclaim that preaching, teaching, and/or prophesying for money is an abomination in HIS eyes.
.
Referring to "End Time" preachers, teachers, and prophets, The Lord stated:
.
"The heads (of churches) JUDGE for.REWARD,The priests thereof TEACH for MONEY,
and the prophets thereof PROPHESY for MONEY,
Yet MOST of today's preachers, teachers, and so-called prophets, lean on the LORD, and say, Is not The Lord among us? No evil can come upon US.
Therefore (for this REASON) shall Zion for your sake be plowed as a field, Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the steeples of The Lord's house as the high place of the forest." Thus said The Lord God of Hosts." (See Micah 3:11-12)
Notice from 2Thessalonians 3:8, that Our Lord's apostles worked for free, and paid for their own food by doing common labor - Paul was a tent maker working in the streets. The next verse (3:9), very clearly states that the apostles paid their own way to serve as an example to US !
"Neither did we eat any man's bread, not for any reason; but worked with labor and travail night and day, that we might not be in debt to any of you: Not because we have no power, but to make ourselves an example for YOU to follow." (2-Thessalonians 3:7-9)Take note that during the time Jesus was on earth.commerce.was not permitted in churches; that it was MAN who brought commerce into God's House; and that he did so against The Lord's will."But that doesn't apply to modern day churches," today's Christians will retort, "because modern day churches sell things like tapes, books, records, and Bibles, both as a convenience, and to supplement their cash flow."
Well, the vendors who Jesus drove out of His Father's Church were also selling items to be used by the congregation in The Lord's Services to worship His Father. These articles of merchandise included such things as oxen, sheep, and doves, that were to be used by the congregation as required blood sacrifices to His Father.
.
In Jesus' day, these items were just as important, or even more important than the tapes, books, records, and Bibles that most churches are now using God's House as a store front to sell, because without these blood sacrifices, no person was even permitted to enter the Lord's House.Yet Almighty God still did not allow ANYTHING (not one thing) to be sold any where close to His Church.
The Apostles Matthew, Mark, Luke and John all bear witness that Jesus clearly demanded it.
"And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves;
And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple.
And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves.
And the scribes and chief priests heard it, and sought how they might destroy him: for they feared him, because all the people was astonished at his doctrine." (Mark 11:15-18)
"And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting:
And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables;
And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise." (John 2:14-16)
See also Matthew 21:12; Luke 19:45-46; Jeremiah 7:11
"DO NOT MAKE MY FATHER'S HOUSE
A PLACE OF MERCHANDISE"WHY CAN YOU NOT OBEY THIS ONE CARDINAL LAW ?
IT'S A VERY EASY TO UNDERSTAND SENTENCE
CHRIST EITHER SAID IT, OR HE DID NOT SAY ITIT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT OTHER CHURCHES ARE DOING
IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT OTHER CHURCHES HAVE DONEFOR THOSE SAYING JESUS WAS JUST ANGRY BECAUSE THE VENDORS WERE EITHER CHEATING OR OVERCHARGING -- ASK THEM TO SHOW YOU THE SCRIPTURE TO SUPPORT IT - THEY CAN'T BECAUSE NO SUPPORTING SCRIPTURE EXISTS!
.. JESUS DID NOT SAY "NO CHEATING"
HE DID NOT SAY "NO OVERCHARGING"
HE DID NOT SAY "THE CHURCH GETS THE PROFIT"
HE DID NOT SAY "YOUR PASTOR CAN APPROVE IT"
HE DID NOT SAY "YOU CAN DEBATE IT"HE CLEARLY SAID "NO MERCHANDISE"
Does it say "you and your pastors are exempt from the above" ?
NO, IT DOES NOT !
.
Does it say "except for Bibles, tapes, books, CD's, and tracts" ?
NO, IT DOES NOT !
.
Does it say "as long as you don't make a lot of money doing it" ?
NO, IT DOES NOT !
.
Does it say "it's okay to sell merchandise in your church as long as the profit goes to prop up its cash flow" ?
NO, IT DOES NOT !
.
Does it say "it's okay to use The Lord's house to sell things as long as you don't sell A LOT of things"?
NO, IT DOES NOT !
.
Does it say "the decision to sell merchandise in The Lord's house rests with your pastor" ?
NO, IT DOES NOT !
.
Christ specifically said NO MERCHANDISE !It's exactly what Christ said; it's exactly what Almighty God said.
They have said it more than eight times. See, Isaiah 56:7; Matthew 21:13; Mark 11:17; Luke 19:46; John 2:16; Jeremiah 7:11; Ezekiel 28:13-19; 2-Peter 2:3
"MY HOUSE IS TO BE CALLED
A HOUSE OF PRAYER BUT YOU
HAVE MADE IT A DEN OF THIEVES"(quoting Jesus in Matthew 21:13, Mark11:17, Luke 19:46, et al)
Does it say to use His church as a place for entertainment ?
NO, IT DOES NOT !Does it say going to church is supposed to be your social event.
NO, IT DOES NOT !Does it say His church is to be used as a place for paid speakers.
NO, IT DOES NOT !Show me where it says paid SPEAKERS are ok, as long as you only pay them with "love" gifts !
IT.ABSOLUTELY.DOES NOT !Show me where it says paid SINGERS are ok, as long as you only pay them with "love" gifts!
IT.ABSOLUTELY.DOES NOT !CHURCH IS TO BE A PLACE OF PRAYER .
.
A place where you go in SOLITUDE to converse with The Lord, your GOD.
.
PRAYER is what makes the building called church a place of reverence.CHRIST SPECIFICALLY SAID SO !
"MY HOUSE IS TO BE CALLED .A HOUSE OF PRAYER"
(quoting Jesus in Matthew 21:13, Mark 11:17, Luke 19:46, et al)
YOU'RE NOT BEING A CHRISTIAN
YOU'RE BEING A CUSTOMERYOU GO TO CHURCH AND BUY EVERY LIE
YOUR SMILING PASTOR
STANDS THERE AND THROWS AT YOU
.
THAT'S DENYING CHRIST WITH EVERY BREATH !
YOU'RE BEING BOTH A LIAR AND A HYPOCRITE
.
YOU'RE BEING BLINDED TO THE WORD OF GOD
.
.
WHOLESALERS.COME AROUND ON A "REGULAR" BASIS AND
RESTOCK YOUR CHURCH'S SHELVES WITH MERCHANDISE,
AND YOUR PASTOR GETS A PERCENT OF THE "TAKE" FROM ITJUST LIKE IT'S SOME CHEAP SEVEN / ELEVEN STORE
.
YOURS IS NOT A CHURCH,.IT'S A COMMERCIAL BUSINESS
.
"MY FATHER'S HOUSE IS TO BE A PLACE OF PRAYER
YOU'RE MAKING IT A PLACE OF MERCHANDISE" (JESUS)
.
WHY CAN AMERICA NOT UNDERSTAND THIS DECREE As Decreed by The Lord, ALMIGHTY GOD in Jeremiah 7:11-20, and decreed by Jesus in Matthew 21:12, Mark 11:15-17, Luke 19:45-46, and John 2:16, et al,
.
.
THE LORD, GOD, has vowed to utterly destroy any nation calling on His Name, who brings merchandise, and/or commerce, and/or materialism, into His church."Therefore, thus saith the Lord GOD; (because you have made my house appear to be a den of thieves - as stated in verse 11), Behold, mine anger and my fury shall be poured out upon this place, upon man, upon beast, and upon the trees of the field, and upon the fruit of the ground;.it shall burn, and the fire shall never be quenched." (Jeremiah 7:20)
FOR THE RECORD, AMERICA AND ITS NEIGHBORS
WERE PERCHED - BY GOD - ON THE MOST POWERFUL
MOST VOLATILE BOMB THAT COULD BE IMAGINED
.
IT'S CALLED THE HUGOTON-PANHANDLE GAS RESERVE AND
SCIENCE WILL TELL YOU IT'S SET TO EXPLODE ANY TIME
THE LORD DECIDES HE WANTS IT TO THEREBY CREATING THE
GREAT LAKE OF FIRE THE LORD HAS BEEN WARNING YOU ABOUT.
Why do.Americans.refuse to relate all the fires, floods, landslides, Katrina, the gulf coast, droughts, lost jobs, terrorists, tornados in places they've never been before, violence in our streets, destroyed crops, total absence of both personal and national security, failed government, and health problems that have never been seen before in earth's history, to the fact that GOD is doing it because we as a people have broken His Covenant with us by bringing material.things.into His church ? "PEOPLE'S EYES WILL BULGE, THEIR JAWS WILL DROP
AND THEY WILL WAG THEIR HEADS
AT WHAT I, THE LORD, WILL DO TO THEIR LAND"
.Some will arrogantly claim ”It's not God doing these things, HE loves us."
Perhaps they should read Samuel II, 1-Kings 8:36, 17:1-7, 17:14, 18:1, 2Kings 3:17, 2 Chronicles 6:27, 7:13, Ezekiel 38:22, JOB 5:10, 20:23, and approximately two hundred other verses in the Bible, all of which confirm that .GOD ALONE..controls the weather, and that floods and/or withholding rain are one of the very first things HE does when He gets fed up with a nation's conduct.
Other Christians will assert:. "GOD isn't doing these things to ME personally, I just happen to be in the way, and HE had "no choice" but to inconvenience ME.”
If these people are in such good standing with God, why has God stirred up the Arabs against them?
Why was the prophet Isaiah able to prophesy 2,600 years in advance, that GOD would get fed up with the people of this nation, and their materialism,. and send the Arabs against them?
Yet, The Lord will not lift one finger to protect any of these people who claim to be in such good standing with Him !
THUS SAID THE LORD
"Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of its place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger. . (17) .Behold, I, The Lord, will stir up the Medes (Arabs) against them, which shall not regard silver; and as for gold, they shall not delight in it." (Isaiah 13:13 and 17 - 650 years before Christ)
God told us not to so much as "sit" your detestable things in His Churches.
. BECAUSE AMERICA'S CHURCHES ARE DOING EXACTLY THAT,
SCRIPTURE MAKES IT QUITE CLEAR THE LORD, ALMIGHTY GOD,
THE JUDGE OF NATIONS, HAS VOWED TO DESTROY AMERICA,
FIRST WITH HISTORY'S WORST PANDEMIC
THEN WITH THE WORST FAMINE EVER IMAGINED
IT IS THEREFORE A*DECREE*ISSUED BY GOD HIMSELF !
.
(9) "Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I, even I, am against thee, and will execute judgments in the midst of thee in the sight of the nations. And I will do in thee that which I have not done, and whereunto I will not do any more the like, because of all thine abominations.
FAMINE
(10) Therefore the fathers shall eat the sons in the midst of thee, and the sons shall eat their fathers; and I will execute judgments in thee, and the whole remnant of thee will I scatter into all the winds.
.
(11) Wherefore, as I live, saith the Lord God; Surely, because thou hast defiled my sanctuary with all thy detestable THINGS,.and with thine abominations, therefore will I also diminish thee; Neither shall My eyes spare, Nor, will I have any pity." (quoting Ezekiel 5:9-15)PANDEMIC.and.FAMINE
(12) A third part of thee shall die with the pestilence (PANDEMIC), and with FAMINE shall they be consumed in the midst of thee: and a third part shall fall by the sword round about thee (WAR); and I will scatter a third part into all the winds (RAPTURE), and I will draw out a sword after them.(13) Thus shall mine anger be accomplished, and I will cause my fury to rest upon them, and I will be comforted: and they shall know that I THE LORD have spoken it in my zeal, when I have accomplished my fury in them.
(14) Moreover I will make thee waste, and a reproach among the (other) nations that are round about thee, in the sight of all that pass by.
.
(15) So it shall be a reproach and a taunt, It shall be an instruction, and an astonishment unto the nations that are round about thee, when I shall execute judgments in thee in anger and in fury and in furious rebukes. I the LORD have spoken it. (quoting Ezekiel 5:9-15)So that you will be ready when your pastors falsely claim "this can't be America", please take note that the above has never been done to any nation on earth. Also be aware thatEVERY nation that has ever brought merchandise into The Lord's house has been destroyed BY HIM.
My face will I turn also from them, and they shall pollute my secret place: For the.merchants. shall enter into it and defile it. (also see Ezekiel 7:22)
As for the beauty of his Sanctuary, he set it in majesty: but merchants.made images of their abominations and of their detestable things, .and set them therein:
Therefore The Lord will set His Sanctuary far away from merchants. (also see Ezekiel 7:20)
And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts. For that which is highly esteemed among men, is an abomination. in the sight of God. (quoting Luke 16:15)
CHRIST told you this, and ALMIGHTY GOD told you this, but you and your pastors just ignore this.CARVED IN GRANITE.law that you are not to have ANY TYPE. of merchandise even .CLOSE.to The Lord's churches.
Even so, America's pastors have so severely misled their congregations with the song "Jesus Loves Me", and that there are no obligations on their part in return, that almost no Christian is willing to accept that as we speak, THE LORD, GOD ALMIGHTY, is at this very time destroying the America they all worship !
Your pastors have allowed satan to turn The Lord's House into a common licensed, but tax exempt COMMERCIAL BUSINESS, and made YOU nothing more than a religious zealot.
A PATRON, INSTEAD OF A CHRISTIAN.MOST of you aren't Christians, You're customers. You represent $$$, and you're buying every LIE sold to you.
AND WHEN YOU SEND OUT MISSIONARIES TO CONVERT PEOPLE TO "CHRISTIANITY", YOU MAKE THEM TWICE THE CHILD OF HELL THAT YOU ARE YOURSELVES, BY TEACHING THEM TO HAVE MERCHANDISE IN THEIR CHURCHES.
"Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves."
Most Christians act like they think their sins are just swept under the rug and winked at by God, because they have "accepted Jesus as their Savior". As though they think THEY have done HIM some sort of a favor.Our Lord died .FOR.your sins. He did NOT*die so THAT*you can sin.
NOR.did He die so you could ignore the Laws of His Father. NOR,.did He die so you could run around proclaiming that YOU are "saved by the Blood of Jesus" so YOU are free to continue to do as you please.
Yes, I know, about now, MOST, if not all, Christians are whining to each other about how "un-Christ-like" this message is, and how "angry" it comes across.
.
So, allow me to remind YOU that it was over people bringing commerce into THE LORD'S HOUSE that caused Christ to lose His temper for the only time in His life on earth. At which point He beat those who were doing so with a whip that He himself made. A type of whip which tore into their flesh all the way to the bone."And when he had made a scourge of small cords, (a type of whip that was known to tear flesh to the bare bone), he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables; And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise." (John 2:15-16)
.
It's pious, righteous "Christians" and their dancing, prancing, .forced applause- generating, singing, smiling, lieing, totally "worth-less-to-Christ" pastors, who are bringing, allowing, and/or tolerating commerce in THE LORD'S churches; which, whether you care to accept it or not, by doing so is earning*ALL OF THEM (including YOU) a very fast one-way ticket to Hell.Just who are THEY that they think Christ is going to make THEM an exception to the Cardinal Rule of The Lord ALMIGHTY GOD, that NO ONE is to bring ANY TYPE of commerce, even anywhere close to His churches ?
You can be as pious as you want; You can be as righteous as you care to pretend; You can be as arrogant as you please; You can get as indignant as you care to act; You can even keep on thinking "Jesus loves me, so I can do as I please", if you want.
NONE OF WHICH will alter the fact that YOU have broken the COVENANT The Lord your GOD had made with you by bringing, allowing, tolerating, and if not participating in the bringing of commerce, merchandise, and/or material "things" into The Lord's house.
Moreover, Christ made it clear that where Christians are concerned He will intercede with His Heavenly Father, ALMIGHTY GOD.
However, He did NOT say His Father would continually forgive their sins.
Note in every instance Christ told people "Go, and sin no more."
Who are THEY that Christ would say, go do as you please ?
Here's the original MEANING of the term "intercede."
Webster's 1828 edition Dictionary:
The act of interceding; mediation; Interposition between parties at variance, with a view to reconciliation; Prayer or solicitation to one party in favor of another, sometimes against another.Please take note that by Christ saying He would intercede with His Father on their behalf, He did NOT imply that He would, OR EVEN COULD, tell His Father it's okay for Christians to sin.
INSTEAD, He was saying He would try to reconcile THEM with His Father.
All of which means that Christ can just as easily ask His Father, ALMIGHTY GOD, to send the arrogant to HELL.
Immediately before THE LORD utterly destroyed His very first church (which He had named Shiloh) and all its people, and all the nations, cities, and land that was in any way RELATED to His first church at Shiloh, in such a way that no two stones in that area can ever so much as touch each other again, so that Shiloh can never be rebuilt:
Wherefore, because YOU have brought and/or tolerated to be brought into HIS churches, all the materialistic things, as well as paid entertainment, commerce, merchandise, and all the material things that He, THE LORD, has given you: HE has now brought EVIL upon you until YOU and all your materialistic ways are utterly destroyed, because YOU have broken the Covenant which HE, your GOD, commanded you to keep; and have used HIS church to serve other gods, and have in fact worshipped the gods of gold, silver, brass, iron, clay, and wood, and all man made things, which can neither see, hear, move, nor respond to you in any way.
For which reason THE LORD utterly destroyed Shiloh; for which reason HE eliminated the kingdom of king Nebuchadnezzar's son, which was known as the original Babylon; and for which reason HE will now destroy YOU from off the land HE had given to your fathers, and to their fathers, and HE will in fact utterly destroy the land itself, which you call America. To wit:
Therefore, it shall come to pass that as all good things have come to you, which the LORD your God promised you; so shall HE bring upon you all evil things, until he has destroyed you from off this good land which THE LORD your God has given you.
Whereas, you have transgressed the covenant of the LORD your God, which he commanded you, and have gone and served other gods, and bowed yourselves to them; therefore shall the anger of the LORD be kindled against you, and you shall perish quickly from off the good land which he has given to you. (Joshua 23:15-16)
