"And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not. For I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. He that rejected Me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him. The word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day." (St. John 12: 47-48). Here we find Jesus identifying the importance of His word. He personally came not to judge the world, but rather to save the world from unbelief, and this is what causes man to reject His word.

I would like to illuminate this same passage of scripture by reading the Amplified Version of the same two verses. "If anyone hears My teachings and fails to observe them (does not keep them, but disregards them), it is not I who judges him. For I have not come to judge and to condemn and to pass sentence and to inflict penalty on the world, but to save the world. Anyone who rejects Me and persistently sets Me at naught, refusing to accept My teachings, has his judge (however); for the (very) message that I have spoken will itself judge and convict him at the last day. (St. John 12: 47-48)

How mightily are the words of Jesus. They are not presented to condemn mankind, but rather to save him from judgment. Then why must people receive the creeds and dogmas that have been enforced by carnal man? Are we so naive to accept denominational teachings that have no Biblical foundation to back up the doctrines that have originated from their mother harlot.

In order to reject something, you must first know a little about it in order to have a opinion on accepting it or rejecting it. In St.John 6: 32-66 we see that Jesus began to identify Himself, and the discipleship of those that followed Him were put to the test. They began to murmur and became offended at such a one that spoke of Himself as the bread of life, one that cometh down to give life unto the world. This just seemed impossible to swallow for some. They in their own minds imagined God coming in a cloud of glory, not as a common Nazarene, and in (6:66, mans number) we find that many went back (to their old denominational traditions) and followed Him no more. What a perfect place in the gospel to place this passage of scripture.

It is very important in our day to be aware of the teaching that you are setting under. Does the doctrines of the ministry line up with the doctrines of Jesus Christ? Does the order of the church and the mysteries of the ages line up with the teachings of Apostle Paul? Sad to say, many people don't know or could careless. Their concept of being alright doesn't predicate upon the Word, but upon being a church member, choir singer, elder or a deacon. This is what the so-called ministry has slipped into the churches, and it isn't associated with the Word of God whatsoever.

When truth came along like it did in the twentieth century, the elders of the world rejected it. Why?, because it didn't come the way they thought it should. It wasn't a yes man ministry, but it came with boldness and surety of the Word of God. It brought us back to the original way God had intended. God didn't seek one of great dignity or of high esteem, but rather found one unknowledgable, and stricken in poverty. His revelation of God didn't come by way of seminaries or college education, but it came by the Holy Ghost! People were astonished at his knowledge of the Word. He brought out things that were hidden throughout all the other ages, but once again, many went back and followed Him (the Word) no more. This man came not to manifest himself, but rather, to manifest Christ which is the Word.

Here we are now in the twenty first century and the church world isn't any closer to a revelation of who God is and how He has manifested Himself to man-kind in the past, present and future. They use God like they would a puppet in a side show. In times of trouble they cry out to Him, but fail to abide and come into obedience of His Word. Why?, because they reject it when it is spoken by His mouth-piece. Weather it come through a God fearing apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor, or teacher. Never did God use a "Denomination or Orgainization" to bring forth His Word to the people. God has always had skin on and has always used the format spoken of in Ephesians 4: 11-13 to reveal His Word.

Now is proving time for your own self. Ask yourself this question. Have I based my spiritual decisions upon a direct revelation from God and His Word, or from the schools of man that deny all that God has offered? If not, I then beseech those desiring a greater understanding of God's provided way to do as the scripture bids, "Seek and ye shall find, knock and it shall be open unto you". (St. Luke 11:9). May God bless you!
