CRIMINAL/EVIL MINDED BELIEVERS?
PART THREE
"But the Spirit says
expressly that in later times some will fall away from the faith,
paying attention
to seducing spirits and doctrines of demons,
through the hypocrisy of men who speak lies, branded in their own
conscience as with a hot iron;
forbidding marriage and commanding to abstain from foods which Yahweh
created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the
truth." 1 Timothy 4:1-3
Perhaps you are wondering? What is your point? We can continue to show examples of evil/criminal minded believers because the Bible gives us many bad-evil people to read about. The Kings of Israel are spoken of in 1st & 2nd Kings and 1st & 2nd Chronicles, and other places. In these books are the testimonies of their rulership and acts, albeit good or evil. The scales seem to tilt towards doing evil for most of these kings. Sad to say!
We know from the creation account, that Yahweh Elohim created everything tov me'ôd, good, very good. We also read about the fall of Adam and Eve, and how they were driven from Gan Eden. Followed by the birth of Cain and Abel, and then the first murder in recorded history.
"For
this is the message which you heard from the beginning, that we should love one
another:
not as Cain was of the evil one, and slew his brother. And why did he slay
him? Because his works were evil, and his brother's righteous."
1 John 3:11-12
With the Satanic influence impressed upon the human race, man has been pressured to do evil from the very beginning. Although Yahweh Elohim offered another way, Cain choose the way of Satan. Satan was the seducing spirit that espoused demonic doctrine contrary to Yahweh Elohim's teaching. And so it is through time.
"See, I have set before you
this day life and good, and death and evil;
in that I command you this day to love Yahweh your Elohim, to walk in his
ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his ordinances, that you
may live and multiply, and that Yahweh your Elohim may bless your in the land
where you go in to possess it.
But if your heart turn away, and you will not hear, but shall be drawn
away, and worship other elohim, and serve them;
I declare to you this day, that you shall surely perish; you shall not
prolong your days in the land, where you pass over the Jordan to go in to
possess it." Deuteronomy 30:15-18
This is the same choice that Adam and Eve were offered. What was their selection?
We are also offered the same choices as our forefathers. With the innovation of rapid media outreach tools, you can find just about anything at any time. This includes of course, those who are claiming to be Yahweh's end time prophet, and the only true body of Messiah on earth today! Are these claims valid? How can you tell? It has been the purpose of Truth On The Net Dot Com to investigate such claims, and believe me there are many. How do you separate the good from evil? The sheep from the goats? By proving all things and using the Bible as the plumb line. Either they measure up to the truth of the Bible; or they fail. We have placed before you on this website our findings; for your perusal.
"For
the one desiring to love life, and to see good days, let him restrain his tongue
from evil, even his lips not to speak guile.
Let him turn aside from evil, and let him do good. Let him seek peace, and
pursue it;
because the eyes of Yahweh are on the righteous, and His ears open to
their prayer. But the face of Yahweh is against any doing evil things." LXX-Psa.
33:13-17; MT-Psa. 34:12-16
And who is the one harming you if you become imitators of the good?"
1 Peter 3:1013
"The world is a dangerous place, not because of
those who do
evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing."
-Albert Einstein
