Christ, The Divider!! Christ is called "Prince of Peace" ISA.9:6. But "Peace" without righteousness, is no peace JER.6:14. (a). Take time to study EZE.13:8-16.
"Suppose Ye That I Am Come To Give Peace On Earth?" Jesus said: "I tell you, Nay; but rather division "LUK.12:51-53. "I came not to send peace, but a sword "MAT.10:34-39. We must not confuse peace with God, with freedom from Christian warfare. Becoming a Christian, we "go to war "EPH.6:10-f. 1TI.6:12 2TI.2:3
Why Must Christ Be A Divider?? 1. Because He is absolute monarch. MAT.28:18 1TI.6:15. He does not "share" allegiance. MAT.6:24,15:13-14. 2. He judges every man individually. ROM.2:6-11 MAT.25:14-f. Difference in good and bad must be recognized. 3. Evil, uncurbed, spreads like leaven. 1CO.5:6-8. Must amputate, to save the good. MAT.5:29-30 2CO.6:17. 4. Truth, by its nature, is uncompromising. MAT.12:30. Light and darkness incompatible. JOH.1:4-5 1JO.1:5-f.
Christ, in order to remain consistent with these divine truths, must be a divider .
Christians (?) who desire peace (?) and unity (?) which: (1) Allows a mixture of God and Mammon, service to two masters; (2) Establishes false hope in individuals by "group" judgement; (3) Weakens moral fiber of church by countenance of sin; (4) Compromises the truth of God; Are untrue to Christ, and will be divided against.
Christ Will Be A Divider In Final Judgement:
MAT.25:31-f. The sheep from the goats, everlastingly. 2TH.1:7-9 In flaming fire, taking vengeance..... |
