GOD's True Teachers
 

Jer23..1 "Woe to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of My pasture!" says the LORD.
2 Therefore thus says the LORD GOD of Israel against the shepherds who feed My people: "You have scattered My flock, driven them away, and not attended to them. Behold, I will attend to you for the evil of your doings," says the LORD.
3 "But I will gather the remnant of My flock out of all countries where I have driven them, and bring them back to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase.
4 "I will set up shepherds over them who will feed them; and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, nor shall they be lacking," says the LORD.
5 "Behold, the days are coming," says the LORD, "That I will raise to David a Branch of righteousness; A King shall reign and prosper, And execute judgment and righteousness in the earth.
6 In His days Judah will be saved, And Israel will dwell safely; Now this is His name by which He will be called: THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.
 

Mat24..6 "And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
7 "For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places.
8 "All these are the beginning of sorrows.
9 "Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name's sake.
10 "And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another.
11 "Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many.
12 "And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.
13 "But he who endures to the end shall be saved.

2Tim1:7 For GOD has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

1Jn4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.

 
 GOD's true teachers share His full, holy truth, as Christ Jesus,
but false teachers blaspheme the Holy Spirit and His word.
 

Mat12:31 "Therefore I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men.

12:32 "Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come.

 
 hence
 

Jer23:39 'Therefore behold, I, even I, will utterly forget you and forsake you, and the city that I gave you and your fathers, and will cast you out of My presence.

23:40 'And I will bring an everlasting reproach upon you, and a perpetual shame, which shall not be forgotten.' "

 
GOD-given Freedom Comes thru Selfless Acts
 of those working in love to benefit friends and strangers alike,
yet most so love evil they refuse to help the oppressed and needy,
so in their inaction they allow and condone ongoing evil that forces
GOD to judge them as His enemies together with evildoers Rom1:32.
 
 
Focus on the Family: a true focus
 		 
 

Jam4:4..Adulterers and adultresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with GOD? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of GOD.

 
 
GOD's holy, inerrant word is often harsh when He describes the disobedient church,
adulterers, dogs, fornicators, harlots, whores; deliberately sinning against Him, and
against His commands from Gen-Rev, yet claiming life, salvation, sanctification, etc.
which is reserved for His own pure and holy, truly abiding in Christ, GOD.
 
GOD says "do not give what is holy to the dogs" Mat7:6, clearly referring to
the unfaithful church, or believers who refuse to obey Him; the two parts
Zech13:8 Ps1:5 1Pet4:17,18, the cold + lukewarm, the mouth + anointed,
since only holy branches can abide in a holy GOD Jn15 Rom11 1Jn3 etc.
 
GOD's 3part church is Babylon, with "countless" believers who love the world,
celebrating, enjoying, partaking the works of evil man, in arts, business,
media, sports etc., taking "pleasure in unrighteousness" Rom1:16-2:16 2Thes2:12,
rejecting His grace, love, power to be His true children Rev16:19; 17:14; 18:4; 20:6.
 
 
 
Rom

32 Who, knowing the righteous judgment of GOD, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.

2Thes  
2

11 And for this reason GOD will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie,
12 That they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Forsaken False Teachers Jer23:1,39,40
 

Jer23..1 "Woe to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of My pasture!" says the Lord.
19 Behold, a whirlwind of the Lord has gone forth in fury--A violent whirlwind! It will fall violently on the head of the wicked.
20 The anger of the Lord will not turn back until He has executed and performed the thoughts of His heart. In the latter days you will understand it perfectly.

Acts20..28 "Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of GOD which He purchased with His own blood.
29 "For I know this, that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock.
30 "Also from among yourselves men will rise up, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after themselves.

Jn10..11 "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep.
12 "But a hireling, not the shepherd, one who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf catches the sheep and scatters them.
13 "The hireling flees because he is a hireling and does not care about the sheep.

2Pet2:14 having eyes full of adultery and that cannot cease from sin, enticing unstable souls. A heart trained in covetous practices, accursed children.
 
 1Jn2..18 Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come, by which we know that it is the last hour.
19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but that they might be made manifest, that none of them were of us.
