Christian Living
The First Church of Religiosity is not the “Spiritual House” of God. One is a whore, fake, and religious, the other is alive and full of the Spirit of God. This is the True House of God, built up of lively stones, Jesus Christ, being the chief cornerstone. We are those “lively stones”. Having been delivered form this present world and its lusts, we follow the Lord with a true heart and a clean conscience. We are those who are”born again”, not of the flesh, by any right of man or mans tradition, but by the Spirit of God.
1 Peter 2:5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
We are that House of God, with his commandments imprinted on our hearts. His Spirit filling us with His purposes and love. We seek Him, and follow not the world. Ours is a life dedicated to His way. This is a life with does not seek to be fulfilled in the World or its lusts. The life of finding His purposes leading the way for us.
Within this is a battle. There are those who follow mens traditions and myths. Self seeking Holy Religious institutions who have corporate presidents that speak on religious topics weekly. Corporate structured holy places where people can go and feel good about themselves, but never confront their lusts and sins. Thus they go week to week never finding the True God, nor knowing His way. They are just like the Israel of Old when Jesus Came. The Jews knew religion, they had synagogues, but they did not recognize the Messiah when he came. They had made the “word of God of none effect by their traditions of men”. This is when what man says overrides what the Word of God says.
In the last days, there is a Laodacian church. This church has religion. It is holy to the world. It is successful and the world holds it in respect. It has power and can politically change or meet challenges. This church thinks of itself as the power broker and doer of its generation. They do not need anything for they have it all. They have power, money, fame, religion, and have a good life. In fact, mouth service to the Messiah is brokered with their feelings that they don’t want him to come back too soon. People have many things to do. They are enjoying life.
To this rich and in need of nothing religious structure called the “last days church”, The “Living Word, the Beginning and the End, Alpha and Omega” says; “I Council you to buy of me gold tried in fire.” These words reflect the “smeltering Process” in which gold or silver is coupled with a harsh agent like lye over high heat to start the smelter of the impurities from the gold. The harsh liquid causes the impurities to leave the gold under high heat and it clings to the harsh liquid and rises to the top, where it is scrapped off. So too, this church of religiosity is counseled to go through the fire with a harsh liquid of persecution and tribulation to remove the sin and worldly impurities which cling to it. Through this fire, the robe of sin is removed, the heart is cleansed by fire and the Word of God. This is the council Jesus Gives. The problem here is, we need to buy of him “Gold tried in fire”. How do we buy of him this? Easy, we seek his face.
In Isaiah, we are admonished to come if we thirst. We can have all we want. This is the time of Grace, when all things are free. In Revelation, we need to come to the altar, repenting of our actions and facing whatever God sends our way. This is Gold tried in fire. We repent in tears, honestly seeking God. He will forgive. He will also send trials, tribulations, and testing our way. As we walk through these in faith, keeping the faith, and trusting in him, our faith is tried and tested. The impurities are brought forth through this testing. As we overcome and walk in this, we thus are “Gold tried in fire”.
Isaiah 55:1 ¶Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.
During the tribulation, you can believe that there will be a church here. Now I can hear your voice saying, “but we are going in the Rapture”. I will not argue the point. Suffice it to say, the Lord tells us to “Pray that we will be accounted worthy to escape all these things coming on the earth and to stand before the Son of Man”. In addition, nowhere does it say you will be automatically granted a removal pass before it hits. Noah escaped in a boat, Lot escaped by the help of Angels sent to destroy the city, Daniel escaped with the help of an Angel, The three children thrown in the furnace escaped by the help of the Son of Man at their side, Jesus went to the cross as the Power of the Holy Spirit guided him and the Father allowed, the Apostles all faced martyrdom and died for Christ Jesus, the early church face the same fate, Christians today are dying around the world for their faith. And yet you, You Christian who has lived a soft, plush, easy, no persecuted for your faith life in America wants to leave all this? You just expect to go because the Americanized Religious teachers’ profligates teaching that makes good sense to you. Whenever we do go, we will go and not one second before. Until then, don’t look for the Rapture, look for Jesus Christ. Watch for the signs of his coming, Watch…That is what he tells us to do. When He is ready, we will go and not one second before, no matter what famous American idol preacher tells you…
…Be sure you are in Him and just not in a Church of Religiosity

If Marvin Rosenthal is right, his appelation to this phenomenon will become true. We are preparing American Christians for "A Spiritual Pearl Harbor."
I have in preparation an article dealing with this same watered down thinking from another aspect. It will bear the title "All Dogs Go To Heaven."
The movement toward a one world religion will be led by the church of Laodicea. We see it now if our eyes are open.
