Lack of understanding of the gospel – reasons are obvious

Deutsch

The different interpretations of the Bible have led to the emergence of countless different churches. One would think that it shouldn’t be that difficult to understand the same gospel in the same way. The reason why this is not the case is actually obvious.

Misunderstandings seem inevitable

The number of Protestant denominations is considerable, numbering more than 35,000. One and the same word of God, but obviously sometimes extremely different views and interpretations. The Roman Catholic Church takes exception to the fact that there is such great disunity. However, the Church of Rome also regularly “forgets” to mention that it once lost the power to “eliminate” dissent. Even before 1798, views that differed from the catechism were literally smoked up by the Roman Church.

There must at least be a reason why interpretations of the Bible can be so different that such a large number of different churches have emerged. Part of it is certainly due to the efforts of “misguided pastors” who don’t take the gospel all that seriously and see it as an opportunity for a position of power. A concentration for the common (false) belief can be found in the so-called pre-rapture before the beginning of the great tribulation period. But here the error is easy to spot (Info).

The reasons are obvious

The fact is: The Sabbath (7th day of the week) is part of God’s law. Written in stone by God Himself as Commandment Number 4 (Exodus 20:8-11).

The fact is: God’s commandments are eternal (Genesis 21:33; Psalm 111:7-8). Eternity applies to the future as well as the past. The reason is obvious. The 10 Commandments are a reflection of God’s character and God is eternal.

The fact is: The 10 Commandments are unchangeable (Malachi 3:6; Matthew 5:18).

The fact is: Anyone who breaks even one of the 10 commandments is guilty of all (James 2:10). The 4th commandment is one of the commandments.

The fact is: Anyone who (constantly) ignores God’s commandments can pray as they wish. But it’s no use because God will ignore it. Because, Proverbs 28:9:
“He who turns away his ear from listening to the law, even his prayer is an abomination.“

The fact is: God evaluates man according to his level of knowledge, rather according to what man could have known (Romans 2:11-16). This applies especially to the rejection of the widely noted, entirely justified calls to observe God’s holy day, i.e. the seventh-day Sabbath.

The fact is: understanding and evaluating the gospel requires the spiritual and not the “natural reason” of man. This spiritual understanding comes from the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 2:14-16).

The fact is: God will send effective seduction to those people who did not love the truth, did not care, ignored the truth, or chose a path for their own comfort. These people will believe the lie (2 Thessalonians 2:11).

The fact is: All those who love the lie and still do it despite the lie they have recognized will never be able to enter the New Jerusalem (Revelation 22:15).

Simple derivation

If someone only keeps 9 out of 10 of God’s commandments, they have violated the entire law. If this happens continuously, then even prayers become an abomination. Proper understanding of the gospel requires the help of the Holy Spirit (asked for through prayer). However, the help of the Holy Spirit will only be minimal or even completely absent if God’s laws are constantly violated, against one’s better judgment.

Correct understanding of the gospel is of the utmost importance. This is especially true of the book of Revelation. Now the core question. Who is the book of Revelation actually written for? Revelation 1:1:
“The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:“

“His servants”! Will God consider a person to be His servant if he constantly disregards God’s commandment and thereby tramples it under foot? So it shouldn’t really be a surprise if the interpretations of the book of Revelation in particular take on such confusing forms. There is a total lack of understanding due to the absence of the Holy Spirit, due to the constant disregard of at least one of God’s commandments.

Therefore:

Remember the Sabbath day (7th day of the week, “Saturday”)!
Keep (also) the 4th commandment!
In this case, God will send His Spirit with joy. Also, for the correct understanding of the Gospel.
