 Hosea.4: 6. My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge:
The above mentioned scripture verse is one of the most quoted scripture within and outside the religious church. Despite this fact; many persons are committed to holding onto their erroneous religious beliefs and teachings even though they‘re being destroyed for the lack of knowledge.
It’s extremely painful to watch as many well meaning saints / God seekers are being taken advantage of by some religious leaders; who themselves might be ignorant to the devices and schemes of the enemy as they carry out his (The Enemy’s) agenda in preaching / teaching a twisted, incomplete gospel.
Then on the other hand there are those who have and are building their personal empires and religious dynasties from the loots, spoils of their teaching and preaching.
How many times have you heard good, emotionally charged religious messages about the thief that Yeshuwa Messiah (a.k.a. Jesus the Christ) spoke of in John.10:10, and was told that this thief is the devil?
Watch this!
Whereas whenever Yeshuwa spoke of and referred to the devil, He made it plainly known.
Now, we know that out of the mouth of two or three witnesses everything must be established; so for the record here’s three.
(1) Lk.22: 31. And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat:
(2) John.8:44. Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the
(3) Lk.8:12. Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.
Whether through ignorance or by other means; no matter how religious leaders tries to eloquently dance around the truth of the thief mentioned in John.10:10, I make no apology in boldly declare that Yeshuwa was not referring to the devil; but rather He was referring to mankind / other religious leaders who came before Him. The spirit of which those religious leaders operated in back then, in most cases is the same that many of today’s religious leaders operates.
Watch this!
John.10:8. All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
: 9. I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
: 10. The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
As a result of erroneous religious teachings and beliefs many believers joy has being stolen, many dreams have been killed and relationships destroyed. Not only has the various sex scandals of the Catholic church helps in exposing the thief; but there are many unethical practices and behaviors taking place in other religious denominations and none-denominational churches that clearly exposes the thief.
I’ve attended many high spirited religious conferences where preachers worked the gullible crowd in their desired direction which had a great financial harvest for the religious leaders.
Watch this!
Here’s another passage of scripture that’s often taken out of context by naïve Christians, especially if they’ve received it at their annual religious conferences; where they dance and sing about making the thief / the devil pay sevenfold (Prov.6: 30. Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry;
: 31. But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house).
Again, despite the fact that Proverbs.30, clearly indicates that the humanity of verses 30 & 31, erroneous religious teachings mixed with a high level of ignorance still have many religious mind-set believing and saying stupid things like “upon finding the thief / devil they’re going to make him pay sevenfold”
Who is the thief mentioned in John.10:10? No, it’s not the devil; but rather its twisted religious leaders who uses the word of God for their financial gain at the expense of their poor itching ears followers.
