2,000 years ago, our Savior the Lord Jesus came to do the work of redemption

基礎受動態

and was madly condemned by the chief priests,

scribes, and Pharisees of the Jewish faith.

Because most of the Jews adored their religious leaders,

they went along with those antichrists in condemning and rejecting the Lord Jesus,

ultimately having a hand in crucifying Him.

This was a tremendous sin and earned them God's damnation and punishment,

dooming the nation of Israel for 2,000 years.

The Lord Jesus has returned in the last days as Almighty God incarnate,

expressing truths and doing judgment work to fully cleanse and save mankind.

He also faces the crazed condemnation and resistance of religious leaders.

standing in the way of believers looking into the true way,

leaving many people afraid to investigate and accept it

even though they've clearly seen that Almighty God's words are the truth,

that they're powerful, authoritative, and come from God.

As a result, many are losing their chance to welcome the Lord

Where have they gone wrong as far as welcoming the Lord goes?

It's because they adulate their religious leaders!

They believe religious leaders were put in place by God and are used by God,

so they follow along completely with them,

submitting to their words as if they had come from God.

the Lord Jesus is certain to tell the clergy first when He returns,

so not hearing it from them proves that He hasn't come back.

Then they don't even attempt to investigate Almighty God's work,

but follow the religious leaders in condemning Him.

And so they're falling into disasters, losing their chance at being raptured.

The Pharisees who long ago resisted and condemned the Lord Jesus were damned by God,

and many in the religious world today haven't learned that painful lesson from them.

Because they blindly worship their clergy,

they're going along with them in condemning the Lord Jesus returned,

So then, have the religious leaders actually been put in place by God?

Is submitting to them the same as following God?

Gaining clarity on this is a pressing matter.

the religious leaders, clergy such as the Pope, bishops, pastors, and elders,

and have the authority to lead believers,

that all religious leaders were put in place by God?

Do they have the Holy Spirit's testimony, or proof of the Spirit's work?

This means this idea is purely a human notion.

According to this human idea that religious leaders are all put in place by God,

then could that be also true about the Jewish chief priests, scribes, and Pharisees

who resisted and condemned the Lord Jesus?

Was following them in crucifying the Lord Jesus also submitting to God?

This is clearly an absurd way to treat clergy!

We can also see from the Bible that in God's work in every age,

He does appoint people to help with His work.

All those people are personally called on and testified to by God

They are never appointed by humans, and they aren't trained by humans.

when God used Moses to lead the Israelites out of Egypt.

Jehovah God's own words bore witness to this.

the Lord Jesus used Peter to shepherd the churches,

God personally puts in place and bears witness to the people He uses in each age,

and this is verified by the Holy Spirit's work.

sometimes those God used were personally established and borne witness to by Him.

Without His direct appointment, He would reveal this through prophets,

or there was proof of the Holy Spirit's work.

who gave the Pope, bishops, priests, pastors, and elders the positions they hold?

Is there proof of God's words or the Holy Spirit's work?

Has the Holy Spirit borne witness to them?

In fact, all those religious leaders within the churches

have mostly graduated from seminaries and theological schools

Diploma in hand, they are assigned to churches to lead believers.

Some are gifted and eloquent, and learn their work well,

so they are appointed or recommended by upper leadership and rise in the ranks.

Nearly all the religious world's clergy gain their posts this way,

A small percentage of them may have some of the work of the Holy Spirit,

they are not people God bears witness to or uses.

They are very clearly fostered and chosen by other people,

so why would they insist that they're put in place by God?
