Have you any idea of how many confessing Christians there are in theworld today that don't even believe in the perfection of the church?The church is the spiritual body of Christ, which is made up of manyindividual members, as Paul tells is in I Corinthians 12:27 that says,"Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular." Each memberof the church is placed in the body by God himself, as I Corinthians12:18 states saying, "But now hath God set the members every one ofthem in the body, as it hath pleased him." Nobody becomes a member ofthe body of Christ joining it by having their name put in a membershipbook. If God has not placed you as a member in the one true church,then all you have become is a member of some religious lodge that wasbuilt upon the sandy foundation of man's religious creeds. thepsalmist said these words in Psalms 127:1 that says, "Except the LORDbuild the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORDkeep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain." A few years ago Iwrote a little poem concerning the many churches that are built by manand not God and it says, "Reverend Jack Horner has a church on everycorner, but yet this nation has a smell; and the reason for this thatit's void of all bliss, God has turned this nation into hell." Does notGods word tell us these words in Psalms 9:17 that says, "The wickedshall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God." Nowdon't be ignorant enough to tell me that this nation has not beenturned into hell seeing all the abortions of infant children beingperformed yearly, and all the state liquor stores that causes thousandsof deaths on the highway because of drunkeness, and the taking of theTen Commandments off the court room walls, and prayer out of the publicschools, etc, etc, etc etc.
You would have to be blind not to see all the wickedness beingoverlooked in this nation that claims to be a nation under therulership of God. Don't you think it's about time that you quit blamingGod for the mess this nation has gotten itself in? Does not our mintedcoins and paper money have the motto on it saying, "In God we trust?"If this nation trusts in the living God as stated on coins and printedmoney, then why do we see and hear of all the wickedness going onnationwide? Allow me to show you what the real problem is that thisnation has had ever since it was established. It's not because of theincompetent leaders we find in Washington DC, and all the other stateand government agencies, but rather the problem is because of all thereligious clergymen we have in the land today that is teaching theirhundreds of false and misleading doctrines that has led multipliedmillions of people away from the true principles of life as outlined inthe scriptures of Gods holy and infallible word. Getting back to thescriptures I posted at the beginning of this article; look if you willhow Christianity as a whole denies the teaching of perfection that isclearly taught and revealed in Gods holy word. Since this nation claimsto be a Christian nation, then why do they deny the plain teaching ofperfection, as well as the many other teachings concerning the lifestyle that Gods word demands? Does Gods word tell us through theapostle Paul these words that are stated in Titus 2:11-12 that says,"For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should livesoberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world." Is this lifebeing manifested in and through the multiplied millions of people thatare confessing to be born of God in this nation? If so, then pleaseinform me as to why confessing born again Christians today are stillcalling themselves sinners and living in outright sin and rebellionagainst God when Gods word clearly tells us in I John 3:9 these wordssaying, "Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seedremaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God." Why isthis truth being denied in the religious realm of the confessingChristian world today? Why? I will tell you why; it's simply becausethey are not perfect and they believe they never will be perfect andthey confess that they sin and they believe they will always sin. Theywill not take God at his word, but will judge Gods word by their ownsinfulness believing that the doctrine of sinless perfection is notpossible. But yet we find a number of scriptures that clearly teachesthis truth.
If this doctrine is not taught in Gods word, then please inform mewhy Jesus said to be perfect, as stated in Matthew 5:40. And why didPaul tell us to be perfect as stated in II Corinthians 13:11? And whydid the apostle Peter tell us this as stated in I Peter 5:19? Can younot see how Gods word is not being accepted and believed by thereligious clergy of today? Did not the serpent in the garden of Edentell Eve that they would not die if they ate of the tree of theknowledge of good and evil when God said they would? So are you goingto believe the lies of the serpent like Eve did instead of believingwhat Gods word says about it? The doctrine of sinless perfection isdenied in the religious confessing Christian world today based simplyon the fact that they know they are not sinless and perfect, but doesthis disprove Gods word? The reason why they don't believe this truthis simply because what they are believing is not what Gods wordteaches, but rather they are believing what the deceived clergyteaches. To disbelieve the doctrine of sinless perfection simplybecause you know that you are not sinless nor perfect is down rightridiculous not willing to let Gods word to have the final say of thematter. Look if you will at what Hebrews 6:1 tells us saying,"Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us goon unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance fromdead works, and of faith toward God." Who is the writer of this booktalking to here? Is he not speaking to the believers in the church? Hecertainly is not speaking to the world, because the epistles of theBible were sent to the churches; not the world. Another common teachingfound among the millions of confessing Christians today is that theyteach and believe that Christ will perfect his church when he returnsthe second time, but is this what Gods word teaches? No, because wefind the apostle Paul telling us these words stated in Ephesians 5:27saying, "That he might present it to himself a glorious church, nothaving spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holyand without blemish." He will present this church to himself that hasalready been perfected simply because he is the head and builder of thechurch, as scriptures clearly teaches. We find Jesus saying these wordsstated in Matthew 16:18 that says, "And I say also unto thee, That thouart Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates ofhell shall not prevail against it."
Do you actually believe that Christ builds the church with sin init? Is not the church the spiritual body of Christ? Was there any sinin his physical body as he lived and walked on this earth? No, therewas not, so why would anyone believe there is sin in his spiritual bodywhich is the church? Did not John tells us these words as stated in IJohn 3:5 that says, "And ye know that he was manifested to take awayour sins; and in him is no sin." Paul tells us in II Corinthians 5:17that if any man be in Christ he is a new creature; not still a sinningold creature. So if you are not in Christ where there is no sin, thenyou are still in and of the flesh in your sin. And if you die in yoursin Jesus said you will not be where he is, which is definitely not inthe lake of fire, but in his kingdom. If you will examine the fourscriptures closely at the beginning of this article you will find thateach of them teaches the doctrine of sinless perfection, so why is thisteaching being rejected by the religious world today? Why? Simplybecause they are not sinless and perfect and don't ever believe to be.These people rejects Gods word about perfection based on their ownsinful life, which is a very poor excuse for not believing Gods word.Instead of these people admitting they are in error they willignorantly blame Gods word to be in error. The wise preacher ofProverbs 15:10 tells us these words saying, "Correction is grievousunto him that forsaketh the way: and he that hateth reproof shall die."Did you hear the warning in this verse of scripture saying that he thatrefuses reproof shall die? Is not Gods word given for the reasons wefind the apostle Paul referring to in what he stated in II Timothy3:16-17 that says, "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, andis profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, forinstruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect,throughly furnished unto all good works." Do you not see the danger inrefusing to allow Gods word to reprove and correct you? Did you notknow that it's the Holy Ghost that reproves the world of sin,righteousness, and judgment, as Jesus tells us as stated in John 16:7-8that says, "Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for youthat I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come untoyou; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. And when he is come, hewill reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment."The Comforter that Jesus speaks of here is the Holy Ghost and it's theHoly Ghost working through Gods minister that reproves the world ofsin, righteousness, and judgment; not the minister himself. To refusewhat Gods word says and teaches is inviting disaster in your life. Thewise preacher tells us these words stated in Proverbs 29:1 that says,"He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly bedestroyed, and that without remedy." Do you hear the solemn warning inthis scripture about those who will not allow Gods word to reprovethem? To be destroyed without remedy means there is no hope whatsoeverfor those who will not allow Gods word to be true and having the finalsay. It's totally amazing to hear how so many confessing Christiansdeny the teaching of the perfection of the saints when it's taughtclear as crystal in Gods word. The reason why they cannot accept andbelieve this truth is simply because they have been confessing to beborn of God for many years perhaps and knowing all the time that theystill live in and commit sin. They know they are not sinless norperfect, and so instead of them admitting they are in error they willdeny what Gods says about it and still continue right on in their sinsbelieving they are born again. This is downright rebellion against thetruths of Gods revealed word thus proving they definitely are of theant-christ spirit. He that has an ear to hear and eyes to see, let themhear and see what the Spirit is saying to the churches...amen
