Deeds And Doctrine Of The Nicolaitanes (04) by Habinger(m): 8:04pm On Mar 06, 2012 |
The Nicolaitanes re-established the pattern of temple service as a part of end time rebellion against Christ. Instead of making people to realize that they are God’s temple, they made them believe that without appearing or gathering together in the physical cathedral on a particular day they are not true worshipers. If every individual Christians will actually comprehend that Truth that we are representing God on earth; the most High God is living in us we will remain holy each day, and that is when we will achieve sinless perfection. All the cleansing rituals that were going on inside the Old Testament temple should be going on in our heart every day, in other words, we are to cleanse ourselves from sin everyday by the word of God to achieve total holiness in Christ (Ephesians5:26-27, 2Corinthians7:1). It obvious that the Nicolaitanes spirit is still very active today, as we can see the present church leaders spends more money in building physical structures than developing people which are the church. Church service means to go outside the four walls and make disciples for Christ; to convert sinner and make them saints in Christ (Mathew28:18-20). But what the Christians calls church service today is to gather today every Sunday to watch the supper performance of the choir, and to listen to super star acting preachers on stage, then afterward pay the entertainment fees in the name of offering and tithe. When the Jerusalem temple completely became a trade center, where the Jewish leaders goes to sell their religious items; prayer shawl, doves, sheep, olive oil, incense, candles, hat, girdles and so forth, God allowed the Romans to destroyed it. Now, since the present church leaders has converted the church into a place of marketing Bible, books, CDS, Audio tape, anointing oil, mantles and other items, soon the physical attacks of the enemies will stop us christians from gathering in large numbers in the temple. God will bring us back to the house churches and one on discipleship pattern, because every big church building and Christians temples is becoming the target of the Jihadists. |
