ChatGPT  REPLIES:
(PS TD first points out  how a key word in what follows is “WILLINGLY” not a law, or accusable, forced ministry today requirement)
Ai, SAYS
SUBMISSION, as understood in both the Old Testament and the New Testament, involves WILLINGLY placing oneself under the authority, guidance, and direction of God or designated human authorities in various contexts.
TAVEAU ASKS:
Tell us about the Old Testament View of “Submission”
AI RESPONDS:
In the Old Testament, “submission” is often associated with obedience to God’s commands, laws, and instructions. The Hebrew word commonly used for submission is “shamah,” which means to hear, listen, and obey. This obedience is rooted in recognizing God’s authority and trusting in His wisdom and guidance. For example, in Deuteronomy 6:4-5, the Israelites are instructed to love the Lord their God with all their heart, soul, and strength, which implies complete devotion and submission to Him.
TAVEAU asks Chat GPT
PLEASE DISCUSS ” SUBMISSION” IN THE NEW TESTAMENT FIRST CHURCH:
Chat GPT AI REPLIES: IN THE NEW TESTAMENT
In the New Testament, submission continues to encompass obedience to God’s will and the teachings of Jesus Christ. It also extends to relationships within the Christian community and society. The Greek word often used for submission is “hypotassō,” which means to arrange oneself under, to subject oneself to, or to WILLINGLY yield. (

TO CHILDREN
Also Colossians 3:18), children are instructed to submit to their parents (Ephesians 6:1), and believers are called to submit to governing authorities (Romans 13:1, 1 Peter 2:13-14). These teachings emphasize respectful and willing submission as part of God’s ordained order in various spheres of life.
TAVEAU specically asks Chat GPT AI: 
Q. Is “submission” to authority demanded, a legalistic accusable ministry requirement or what?
Chat GPT RESPONDS:
A. However, it’s important to note that submission is NOT ABOUT BLIND OBEDIENCE OR the endorsement of OPPRESSIVE authority.
Both the Old and New Testaments also emphasize the principles of justice, righteousness, and the responsibility of leaders to exercise their authority in accordance with God’s character and purposes.
Submission is not absolute but should be balanced with discernment, accountability, and the pursuit of God’s will.
TD’S IN  HOUSE PERSONAL EPHESIANS 5:21 CHAIN OF COMMAND BASIC TRAINING VIEW:

FIRST: This ministry, Cross Body Unity Servant Christian Community, based on the book of Ephesians 4, emphasizes the importance of submission. According to Apostle Paul in Ephesians 5:21, there is a call for “mutual submission in the fear of the Lord”

  • THUS: Taveau makes this key point that we each should recognize the need to observe any set boundaries put in place by the host and accept and follow them.
  • However, If those boundaries become toxic, it is wise to leave. (Note dysfunctional group fruit 2 Timothy 3;1-5, I Timothy 6:5)
  • However, after you return from the meeting..after you are , back on your own turf, then you  are not under  their boundaries,  be it back in your home,in your own ministry, not in visiting, attending their ministry fellowship, or business…out of respect you value and regard their boundaries, basic rules however, when , you are back on your own turf You do as God tells you.
  • That  is right.
  •  Apostle Paul mentors, “Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.” At that point, each person is responsible for their own actions. So, please obey God’s guidance.

GOOD SUBMISSION PRODUCES QUALITY HEALTHY  RELATIONSHIP SAFE FRUITS

WISE DISCERNMENT FOR NEW VISITORS, REPEAT ATTENDERS (not joined yet, not planning to, just continually visit)

I advise using JAMES 3:17 to “assess and evaluate” each person, ongoing and yourself also.AND TO ASSESS  THE TOP LEADERS, THE STAFF, ELDERS, CONGREGATIONAL LAY by how you resemble and role  model the fruit of “

the wisdom from above ” which is pure, peaceable, easily entreated, full of mercy and good fruit, without partiality and without hypocrisy”

. We also ought to ongoing repeatedly train the importance of equal opportunity and real respect in ministry, fellowship, family, marriage, and community.

SECOND: IF,WHEN, AS YOU OFFICIALLY JOIN (sign on the ministry dotted “membership” official line)

Secondly, it is important to understand that when God leads a person to officially join a ministry or organization, it signifies a new level of commitment. Once you make the decision to join, you are expected to submit to the rules and guidelines established by that particular work.

YOUR ABILITY TO CHOOSE WHAT, WHOM YOU WILL “SUBMIT” TO

If you are unmarried, single, a single parent, or divorced, you are the head of your household and should be respected as a valid and equal individual. This principle applies to both visitors and attendees, as well as those in leadership positions, including myself as a top founder leader. The goal is to follow Ephesians 5:21, but also to work out your own salvation according to the teachings of Apostle Paul. It is important to pray and seek guidance on where you should attend and whether it aligns with the respect for your authority as the head of your household.

Chat AI SAYS….BASIC BIBLE …
OVERALL CONCLUSION
Overall, submission in the Old and New Testaments involves willingly aligning oneself with God’s authority and obeying His commands,
DR TD  ADDS:
New Testament  COMMANDS  about “submission’ will never  ACCUSE or shame them, gossip about them, put them under pressure to FORCE them, GUILT TRIP THEM  … TO “MAKE THEM” OBEY “BE UNDER”  Theirs or any other ministry groups “authority” )(Most of these who are into that, use the Old Testament Accusing Law
Holy Bible Submission is an “pure heart” attitude more than an act.
SUBMITTING with humility and respect is an open display of  trust, humility, and recognizing that God is ultimately  deserving of our allegiance and obedience as we attempt to serve and abide in community, relationship with “another, ministry, church, life group).
ABOUT APOSTLE PAUL AND HIS CHURCH AUTHORITY
TD SAYS

THIS IS ABOUT APOSTLE PAUL SUBMISSION TO CHRISTIAN AUTHORITY AS A GALATIANS 1;1-2 SORT OF OFFICE ‘CROSS BODY” APOSTLE

Backstory: Apostle Paul had first be LP Saul who targeted and murdered the First Church Christians. So when he was gloriously saved and become on fire for Jesus, He went to the first church 12 apostle hand picked and mentored by Christ Himself (Meaning minus Judas, add Matthias)/

At first the original 12 did not want Paul to colabor with them. So he went up to Damascus at the leading of the Lord to dwell 13-14 years up with the Arab Gentiles. While he was there he relied upon the Lord and got the Holy Spirit download which transformed, later in the Apostle Paul who was a Galatians 1:1-2 chief apostle
TAVEAU CONTINUES:

SIR APOSTLE PAUL WRITES OF HIMSELF (Galatians 1:1-2 KJV)

TD ASKS
WHO WAS APOSTLE PAUL SUBMITTED TO IN LEVITICAL LAW MEANING?
Ai WRITES:
Apostle Paul, as a devoted follower of Jesus Christ, considered himself to be submitted to God above all else. He recognized God’s authority as supreme and sought to align his life, ministry, and teachings with God’s will.
In his writings, Paul frequently referred to himself as a servant or slave of Christ, indicating his complete devotion and submission to Jesus as his Lord and Master. He saw himself as an instrument in God’s hands, carrying out God’s purposes and spreading the gospel.
Paul also emphasized the importance of accountability and mutual submission within the Christian community. He taught that believers should submit to one another out of reverence for Christ (Ephesians 5:21), highlighting the principle of mutual respect and humility in relationships.
It is important to note that while Paul recognized and respected the authority of God, Jesus, and the apostles, his ultimate allegiance was to God, and he prioritized obedience to God’s will above all human authority. His submission to others was motivated by his desire to serve and honor God rather than simply complying with human demands.
TD ASKS Chat AI
Q. Did Apostle Paul need to get the permission of the twelve original apostles, who were hand-picked and mentored by Christ, considering that he got saved later and belonged to a new second generation of the movement in the making?
Q. And what about Apostle Paul being sent to Arabia? Did he go and ask for permission first, as if he needed to be submitted in such a fashion
AI REPLIES
In Galatians 1:15-17, Paul provides some insights into what happened next. He writes that after his conversion, he did NOT immediately consult with other apostles OR seek the approval of human beings. Instead, he went to Arabia:
“But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother’s womb and called me through His grace, to reveal His Son in me, that I might preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately confer with flesh and blood, nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me; but I went to Arabia, and returned again to Damascus” (Galatians 1:15-17, NKJV).
The exact details of Paul’s time in Arabia are not provided in the New Testament. Some scholars speculate that during this period, Paul may have received direct revelations from the Lord and deepened his understanding of the gospel through personal study and reflection.
After his time in Arabia, Paul returned to Damascus and then went to Jerusalem, where he met with the apostle Peter and stayed with him for fifteen days (Galatians 1:18-19). It was during this visit that Paul encountered opposition from the Hellenistic Jews, leading to his departure to other regions and eventually to his extensive missionary journeys.
While the New Testament does not explicitly mention the first church apostles rejecting Paul’s help, there were certainly moments of disagreement and differing perspectives among early Christian leaders. However, it is important to note that over time, Paul established significant relationships with other apostles, including Peter, James, and John, as they recognized the authenticity of his apostolic calling and ministry (Galatians 2:9).
THE ABOVE: First Church was all Ephesians 5:21 “mutual submission in the fear of the Lord” (diverse community, offices, elders, leaders, lay, married couples) Chat AI confirms later in this series. Hence the sign ABOVE is teaching material to modern day LP Shepherding type of mainly apostle-prophet worship many moves

 

TD ASKS AI: WHO WAS PAUL SUBMITTED TO

Ai ANSWERS:

Apostle Paul, as a devoted follower of Jesus Christ, considered himself to be submitted to God above all else. He recognized God’s authority as supreme and sought to align his life, ministry, and teachings with God’s will.

In his writings, Paul frequently referred to himself as a servant or slave of Christ, indicating his complete devotion and submission to Jesus as his Lord and Master. He saw himself as an instrument in God’s hands, carrying out God’s purposes and spreading the gospel.

Furthermore, Paul acknowledged the authority and leadership of the apostles who were appointed by Jesus and had been with Him during His ministry. In his letter to the Galatians, Paul described how he met with the apostles in Jerusalem to ensure that his preaching was in line with the gospel they were proclaiming (Galatians 2:1-2).

Paul also emphasized the importance of accountability and mutual submission within the Christian community. He taught that believers should submit to one another out of reverence for Christ (Ephesians 5:21), highlighting the principle of mutual respect and humility in relationships.

It is important to note that while Paul recognized and respected the authority of God, Jesus, and the apostles, his ultimate allegiance was to God, and he prioritized obedience to God’s will above all human authority. His submission to others was motivated by his desire to serve and honor God rather than simply complying with human demands.

In summary, Apostle Paul was primarily submitted to God and acknowledged the authority of Jesus Christ and the apostles. He also encouraged mutual submission and accountability within the Christian community.

TD STATES PAULINE TEACHING ABOUT PERSONS  IN THE CHURCH SUBMITTING
APOSTLE PAUL also writes the following with to regards to chuch, fellowship, ministry, family, marriage, SPOUSES, in Christian area, life Relationships
Ephesians 5:21 (KJV):
“Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.”
Ephesians 5:22 KJV
“Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.”
Chat AI WRITES:
This verse is part of a larger passage in Ephesians 5 that provides instructions on various relationships, including the relationship between husbands and wives. It instructs wives to willingly submit themselves to their own husbands in a manner that is comparable to their submission to the Lord. This teaching is often understood within the broader context of mutual love, respect, and selflessness advocated for both husbands and wives in subsequent verses.
TAVEAU CONCLUDES:
...regarding Ephesians 5:22: “Wives submitting.” This is mostly influenced by steel cave men who pummel their wives, beating them down into submission, using fear and control and Old Timey Old Testament Levitical Law.
Thus T.D. advises, any and every Impending “life-long wife”, do not marry until you know how he views this verse and how he treats his father treated his mother for clues about “how he may (during the heat of an arguement or long term hellish pressures.. treats you.”**
**TD INTERJECTS: a finding online states that a man who dislikes cats may have emotional problems ( I lived with that so it deeply struck home )(this means “HATES cats, not just “he is allergic” or “prefers dogs)
TD ADDRESSES “MARRIAGE:
Pastor Dr. T interjects for the pre-marrying ladies (plus they must submit any of their prospective future husbands)::
And you want to choose a man of maturity, a man who understands and respects women, is open to Ephesians 5:21 as well, and a teammate who is your equal or vice versa. Also, only marry a man who possesses human compassion and does not view women as old-fashioned chattel, submissive or easily influenced.
Avoid someone who sees women as “less than the men” (Example as their personal waitress,  a lesser being, and promotes the “boys will be boys” mentality. Seek a partner who values your abilities and does not expect you to conform to stereotyped, traditional gender roles of being solely responsible for domestic duties or childbearing. (UNLESS that is what BOTH OF YOU PREFER) As I am NO dogmatist. We give permission for each unique to hear from God and their spouse about.

These verses highlight the work of Christ in bringing reconciliation and unity between Jews and Gentiles. It speaks of how Jesus is our peace, breaking down the barrier and hostility that existed between these two groups. Through His sacrifice and fulfillment of the law, Jesus created one new humanity, reconciling both Jews and Gentiles and making peace.

The Official Logo Explained

  • The Cross :the sign of Jesus Christ, the only Savior, who’s death and victorious Book of Acts Resurrection paid for each of our Eternal Life as well  as empowered, comforted,led by His daily presence,  for each of our daily “victorious in Him” overcoming.
  • The rays emanating from behind the cross: “God’s reminder to keep His GOOD NEWS ” Good News!
  • God’s Holy Bible Scripture: opened to 2 Timothy 3:16-17 (see explanation beneath)
  • The Eagle: the symbol of the Christian office “prophet” balanced by and standing on God’s Word

Sister Taveau Explains this Verse

In an open vision, 1986 Taveau received a vision picture of this the first part of this Official Logo. It was the inner picture of the open Bible, turned to 2 Timothy 3:16-17.She also got the call to interceded for pastors, minister heads and their families, the work and for true revival and repentance. She received the Inner Vision Picture of what was then THE ENCOURAGING WORD MINISTRIES (15 solid years) But was just the start…IN 1987 TJ as she often was called back then, received the call tofull time ministry.

(Note: In 1976, ten years prior  that, as a young leader, always caring for and doing the work of the Lord( Jesus People onward)   Taveau received a CALL and Commission” from God (during what was the start of  the “charismatic renewal”)  TO SURF AND ONGOING STUDY the leaders of all styles, races, genders of  Bible Believing appearing as “True” moves. Holy Spirit called her to know their  born again leadership Bible doctrines,  their red flag buzz words, their ministry pet peeves, also their music and styles” SO THAT   One Day in the Last Days Taveau could “build bridges of understanding between the various parts of His Christian Ministry true body.

In 2 Timothy 3:16-17, Paul writes:

“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.” (KJV)

To understand the deepest Greek and Hebrew meaning behind Paul’s words, let’s examine the key terms:

1. “All Scripture” (Πᾶσα γραφὴ | Pasa graphē)

  • Graphē (γραφή): This Greek word specifically refers to written texts, meaning the Hebrew Scriptures (Tanakh) at that time.
  • Pasa (πᾶσα): Can mean “every” or “the whole”—indicating that each passage and the entire body of Scripture are divinely inspired.

2. “Is Given by Inspiration of God” (θεόπνευστος | Theopneustos)

  • Theos (Θεός) = God
  • Pneustos (πνευστος) = Breathed
  • Theopneustos (θεόπνευστος) means “God-breathed”, showing that Scripture originates directly from God’s Spirit, not human wisdom. This links to Genesis 2:7, where God breathed life into Adam—suggesting that Scripture is “alive” and sustaining.

3. “Profitable” (ὠφέλιμος | Ōphelimos)

  • This word means beneficial, useful, advantageous—implying that Scripture is practical, not just theological.

4. “Doctrine” (διδασκαλία | Didaskalia)

  • Meaning instruction or teaching, rooted in rabbinical tradition but now fulfilled through Christ’s New Covenant.

5. “Reproof” (ἐλεγμός | Elegmos)** See more beneath

  • This word implies conviction, evidence, and refutation of error—not in a legalistic sense, but in a Spirit-led, discerning manner.

6. “Correction” (ἐπανόρθωσις | Epánorthōsis)

  • Derived from epí (upon) + anorthóō (to straighten up)—implying that Scripture realigns us with God’s intended order.

7. “Instruction in Righteousness” (παιδείαν τὴν ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ | Paideian tēn en dikaiosynē)

  • Paideia (παιδεία): More than just “instruction,” it means nurturing, training, and forming character (used for disciplining children).
  • Dikaiosynē (δικαιοσύνη): Righteousness, justice—God’s way of aligning hearts with Him.

8. “That the Man of God” (ἵνα ὁ τοῦ θεοῦ ἄνθρωπος | Hina ho tou Theou anthrōpos)

  • Anthrōpos (ἄνθρωπος): Generic term for “human being”—this applies to both men and women in ministry.
  • “Man of God” was an Old Testament title (Moses, Elijah) but now extends to every believer led by God.

9. “May Be Perfect” (ἄρτιος | Artios)

  • Artios means “complete, fully developed”, not sinless but mature, whole, balanced—as in a well-equipped vessel.

10. “Thoroughly Furnished Unto All Good Works” (ἐξηρτισμένος πρὸς πᾶν ἔργον ἀγαθόν | Exērtismenos pros pan ergon agathon)

  • Exērtismenos (ἐξηρτισμένος): “Fully equipped, supplied for a mission.”
  • Pan ergon agathon (πᾶν ἔργον ἀγαθόν): “Every good work”—implying practical, outward service, not just inner spirituality.

DEEP MEANING IN THE CONTEXT

www.crossbodyunity.com EORR Cross-Binding Unity and The IFFM Mentoring Ephesians 2:19-12 (International Fellowship of Foundational Ministries) and Dr Taveau D’Arcy Creative Leadership , upcoming college,  ministry fellowship  emphasize biblical unity, servant leadership, and foundational doctrine. Paul’s passage aligns perfectly with your vision:

  1. “God-breathed” Scripture—the divine source of teaching in your fellowship.
  2. “Correction and Reproof”—not to judge but to realign hearts with Christ’s servant leadership model.
  3. “Training in Righteousness”—emphasizing spiritual maturity over authoritarianism.
  4. “Equipped for Good Works”—not passive faith, but active leadership, racial unity, and ministry impact.

Paul’s meaning is that Scripture is not just for study—it is for equipping and shaping leaders who model Christ-like unity, wisdom, and service. This reflects your calling and leadership values.

The word reprove in the Bible has a deep and layered meaning, especially when examined in Hebrew, Greek, and historical English usage.

1. Biblical Definition of “Reprove”

Hebrew (Old Testament)

  • Yakah (יָכַח) – This is the primary Hebrew word for “reprove” and appears in verses like Proverbs 3:12 and Job 5:17.
  • Meaning:
    • To rebuke or correct with reasoned argument.
    • To convince or persuade (like a legal case).
    • To discipline out of love (God’s fatherly correction).

Greek (New Testament)

  • Elegchō (ἐλέγχω) – Used in 2 Timothy 3:16, Ephesians 5:11, John 16:8.
  • Meaning:
    • To expose, convict, rebuke with truth.
    • To shine light on (like uncovering hidden sin).
    • To correct for restoration, not to condemn.

2. English Meaning (Historical & Modern Usage)

The English word reprove has evolved over time. In older dictionaries (including Merriam-Webster and Oxford), its meanings include:

  1. To rebuke gently – different from harsh scolding.
  2. To correct or admonish – often with good intent.
  3. To convince or refute – similar to the Greek meaning of exposing error with truth.
  4. To “tick off” (informal, older usage) – This was a British slang meaning “to mildly scold” or “mark someone as wrong.” It was once listed in Merriam-Webster but is rarely used today.

3. Deepest Meaning of “Reprove” in Bible Study & Ministry

When studying the Bible, reproving means more than just pointing out errors—it is a Spirit-led correction that leads to repentance, growth, and alignment with truth.

  • It is not about condemning (like the Pharisees did) but about bringing clarity and conviction.
  • Jesus reproved the Pharisees (Matthew 23) but also Peter in love (Luke 22:61).
  • Paul reproved churches (like in 1 Corinthians) to restore them, not humiliate them.

In ministry, reproving should be gentle but firm, Spirit-led, and aimed at restoration—not just criticizing or calling out faults.

Synopsis and Key Points of Each Chapter in Malachi (KJV)

The Book of Malachi, the last book of the Old Testament, addresses the Israelites’ spiritual apathy and outlines God’s coming judgment. The prophet Malachi emphasizes God’s covenant with Israel and calls them to repentance. Key themes include God’s love for His people, the importance of faithful worship, and the promise of a coming Messiah. Below is a chapter-by-chapter summary with key points, historical context, and deeper meaning.

Chapter 1: God’s Love for Israel and the Corruption of the Priesthood

Synopsis:

  • Verses 1-5: God declares His love for Israel, contrasting His choice of Jacob (Israel) over Esau (Edom) (TD Interjects ESAU, EDOM are symbolic of the hireling in God’s Ministry Leadership, in this case also in ministry, the carnal infiltration). God’s sovereign election of Israel is a reminder of His covenant relationship, despite their doubts.
  • Verses 6-14: The priests are accused of despising God’s name by offering polluted sacrifices. They dishonor God by giving blemished animals, showing their contempt for His altar.

Key Points:

  • Historical Context: Written post-exile (5th century BC), Israel had returned to their land but had grown spiritually apathetic. The temple was rebuilt, but worship had become mechanical and corrupt.
  • Deeper Meaning: God’s choice of Jacob over Esau symbolizes His covenant with Israel. The corrupt sacrifices indicate a deeper issue of heartless worship and neglect of God’s holiness.
  • Key Verses:
    • Malachi 1:2: “I have loved you, saith the LORD. Yet ye say, Wherein hast thou loved us? Was not Esau Jacob’s brother? saith the LORD: yet I loved Jacob.”
    • Malachi 1:8: “And if ye offer the blind for sacrifice, is it not evil? And if ye offer the lame and sick, is it not evil?”

Chapter 2: Rebuke of the Priests and Faithfulness in Marriage

Synopsis:

  • Verses 1-9: God warns the priests about their unfaithfulness and calls them to honor the covenant made with Levi, which emphasized righteous teaching and leading people in truth.
  • Verses 10-16: The people are condemned for their unfaithfulness in marriage. They have married foreign women and divorced their wives, breaking God’s covenant of faithfulness.
  • Verse 17: The people question God’s justice, suggesting He is indifferent to evil.

Key Points:

  • Historical Context: The priests were responsible for teaching God’s law, but they had become corrupt, leading to spiritual decay among the people. Marriages to foreign women threatened Israel’s identity as a covenant nation.
  • Deeper Meaning: The priesthood’s failure reflects a broader societal breakdown, with marriage seen as a covenant that mirrors God’s relationship with Israel. The people’s unfaithfulness in marriage symbolizes their unfaithfulness to God.
  • Key Verses:
    • Malachi 2:7: “For the priest’s lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth: for he is the messenger of the LORD of hosts.”
    • Malachi 2:16: “For the LORD, the God of Israel, saith that he hateth putting away…”

Chapter 3: The Coming Messenger and the Call to Repentance

Synopsis:

  • Verses 1-5: Malachi speaks of the coming of a messenger (John the Baptist), who will prepare the way for the Lord. The Lord will come to purify the priests and judge those who oppress the vulnerable.
  • Verses 6-12: God calls Israel to return to Him. The people are accused of robbing God by withholding tithes and offerings. God promises blessings if they faithfully give.
  • Verses 13-18: The people complain that serving God is useless, but God assures them that a book of remembrance is written for those who fear Him.

Key Points:

  • Historical Context: During this period, many Israelites were discouraged, feeling that their faithfulness was in vain as they observed the prosperity of the wicked. Malachi addresses their doubts and calls them to renew their commitment to God.
  • Deeper Meaning: The messenger is a reference to John the Baptist, who prepares the way for Christ, the ultimate refiner. Tithing symbolizes a trust in God’s provision, and withholding tithes is equated with dishonoring God.
  • Key Verses:
    • Malachi 3:1: “Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me.”
    • Malachi 3:10: “Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse… and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven…”

Chapter 4: The Day of the Lord

Synopsis:

  • Verses 1-3: The day of the Lord is described as a time of judgment for the wicked, but for those who fear God, it will be a time of healing and restoration. The righteous will triumph over the wicked.
  • Verses 4-6: Malachi concludes with a reminder to obey the Law of Moses and a promise that Elijah (symbolically fulfilled by John the Baptist) will come before the great day of the Lord.

Key Points:

  • Historical Context: The anticipation of the Day of the Lord was central to Israel’s hope for justice and restoration. Malachi points to a future when God will fully establish His kingdom.
  • Deeper Meaning: The Day of the Lord represents both judgment and salvation. For the wicked, it is a day of destruction, but for the righteous, it is a day of healing. The mention of Elijah reflects a call to repentance before the arrival of the Messiah.
  • Key Verses:
    • Malachi 4:2: “But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings.”
    • Malachi 4:5: “Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD.”

Conclusion and Significance of Malachi:

  • Covenant Faithfulness: Throughout the book, God’s covenant with Israel is central, and the people’s failures highlight their need for true repentance and heart-driven worship.
  • Messianic Prophecy: Malachi foreshadows the coming of Christ through the references to a messenger (John the Baptist) and the ultimate purification brought by the Messiah.
  • Judgment and Hope: The book balances judgment for disobedience with hope for those who remain faithful to God.

Malachi serves as a bridge between the Old and New Testaments, leaving Israel with a message of repentance and anticipation of the Messiah’s coming.

This this was first opened up to me by the Lord down in DFW about certain very high quality, mainly mega ministry with it’s abundance of vast True Similar Western Popular Culture style of Devout Followers.( Many Influential Subcultures)

Note this ties in with my MALACHI OUT LINE…End of the OLD EPIC ERA

THE COLLECTIVE CONTROLLING LEADERSHIP IN THE NATION OF ISAIAH

Isaiah 1-10: A National Collective Word to God’s Hebrew Nation of Leaders

Isaiah 10:27 (KJV): “And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.”

Reminder: Prophet Isaiah 1-10 was a warning to God’s leaders of His chosen quality people.

Chapters 1-3 noted the sins of the leaders of His Accumulated Nation: little g gods, false religion, and vanity (even the women were mentioned). Perhaps that combined to make the majority of God’s leaders, prophets, patriarchs, and family tribal heads “accepting, dull, blind, imperceptive, and many fallen.”

By the time the word addresses this national issue, it is described in Chapter 5:20, where God pronounces what appears to be a national warning over His people: “Woe, you call good evil and evil good” (which resembles the current situation!).

Lastly, by the time we read Chapter 10:27, we find a paraphrase of a very famous, oft-quoted verse (this is quoted and known mostly by tongue-talking ministers): “the yoke-breaking anointing,” when viewed in its historical context.

By Chapter 10:27, this is our reason for stating Isaiah 10:27 (KJV):

“And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.”

This is the history of that amazing, important national time and how it relates to right now:

Meaning of Isaiah 10:27 in Historical Context

In the historical context, Isaiah 10:27 addresses the situation of the Israelites under the oppression of the Assyrian Empire. The “burden” and the “yoke” refer to the heavy taxation, control, and domination imposed by the Assyrians on the people of Israel and Judah. God, through Isaiah, promises deliverance from this oppression.

Key Points in the Historical Context:

NOTE: to COMPARE WITH WHAT IS GOING ON NOW)

  1. Assyrian Godliness, Warring, Cruel, Merciless Oppression: The Assyrians were a powerful and ruthless empire, and God used them as an instrument of judgment against Israel and Judah for their rebellion and idolatry.
  2. Divine Deliverance: The verse promises that the oppression (“yoke”) would be broken because of the “anointing” (translated in some versions as “fatness” or “oil”), symbolizing God’s empowerment and intervention. It indicated that the Assyrians would no longer have the power to dominate Israel, as God’s people would experience a divine breakthrough and liberation.
  3. Spiritual Meaning: The breaking of the yoke signified the end of bondage and a return to freedom and peace under God’s protection and leadership.
  4. Empowerment of the Holy Spirit: In the Church age, the anointing refers to the presence and power of the Holy Spirit. This anointing empowers believers to live victoriously, break free from the yoke of sin, and carry out God’s purposes. It gives God’s men and women inner Holy Spirit supernatural “might,and power” “counsel, wisdom” and mature ‘understanding” (which is part of the  7 Spirits of God listed in Isaiah 11:-2 the prophesied savior, messiah. I submit that it is also the BOOK OF ACTS wonder working, insulating, invigorating, unction of the divine directly, anointing and sustaining, over all protecting,  and emboldening HOLY SPIRIT POWER.

CLOSING: All is submitted to the Body Of Christ for encouraging, edification,knowledge and gain true perspective about NOW for the believers.

NOTE: After the Age of the Old Testament Torah Ended, the national experienced a famine in the nation for a True Deep word of the Lord. God Spirit seems to have departed to let God leaders experience that long, hard, dry, testing season to what THEY WOULD DO about themselves, their heart and their many dispositions, thoughts and applications of loving and following HIM.

Taveaus’ own opinion: The infiltration of the carnal fleshly Edomites (Esau) who were hirelings, after mammon and this warning has been applying to now for 30 years.

OBADIAH: THE ELITE HIRELING PRIESTHOOD 

Old Testament:The Book of Obadiah is the shortest book in the Old Testament, consisting of just one chapter. It is primarily a prophecy against the nation of Edom, but it also serves as a warning and message for God’s people. The overarching theme is that God will judge those who oppress His people, and He will ultimately restore and vindicate Israel.

Historical Context

Edom’s Betrayal: The Edomites, descendants of Esau (Jacob’s brother), were traditionally hostile toward Israel (descendants of Jacob). During a time of Judah’s suffering, possibly when Jerusalem was attacked by the Babylonians, the Edomites not only refrained from helping their Israelite relatives but actively aided in their downfall, looted their land, and mistreated the survivors (Obadiah 1:10-14).

      • Divine Judgment: Obadiah pronounces judgment on Edom for their arrogance, pride, and violence against their brother nation. He prophesies that Edom’s betrayal and cruelty will result in their own destruction.

        Key Verses and Warnings

        1. Obadiah 1:3-4 (KJV): “The pride of thine heart hath deceived thee, thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high; that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground? Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle, and though thou set thy nest among the stars, thence will I bring thee down, saith the Lord.”
          • Warning: Pride and false security in one’s position, power, or alliances lead to downfall. This is a reminder that no nation or individual can defy God’s justice and remain unscathed.
        2. Obadiah 1:10 (KJV): “For thy violence against thy brother Jacob shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off for ever.”
          • Warning: Betrayal and violence against God’s people bring severe consequences. Edom’s betrayal of their “brother” Jacob (Israel) results in their own ruin.
          • Obadiah 1:15 (KJV): “For the day of the Lord is near upon all the heathen: as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee: thy reward shall return upon thine own head.”
            • Warning: The principle of divine retribution is clear—what Edom has done will be done to them. This serves as a broader warning to all nations and peoples that God’s justice will prevail.

        Application to God’s People

        1. Do Not Gloat Over the Fall of Others: Obadiah 1:12 warns against rejoicing over the misfortune of others, even if they are enemies. God’s people are called to exhibit compassion, not arrogance or cruelty, especially toward those who are suffering.
        2. Trust in God’s Justice: The prophecy assures God’s people that He will act justly and avenge the wrongs done to them. Believers are encouraged to trust in God’s timing and judgment rather than taking matters into their own hands.
        3. Be Cautious of Pride: Edom’s downfall is directly linked to their pride and false sense of security. This serves as a reminder for believers to remain humble and dependent on God, not their own strength or resources.
        4. Restoration and Hope: Obadiah concludes with a promise of deliverance for Israel and the establishment of God’s kingdom (Obadiah 1:17, 21). For God’s people, it is a message of hope and assurance that, despite present troubles, God’s purposes will prevail.

        MAIN POINT HEAR: The Introduction of High Priestly Governmental Israeli Mover and Shaker, Local Grass Roots Shallow Hirelings

        The prophecy of Obadiah, particularly its condemnation of Edom’s betrayal and arrogance, can be symbolically related to the infiltration of the Israelite priesthood by “hirelings” — individuals who serve not out of genuine devotion to God, but for personal gain or ulterior motives. This theme is consistent with several biblical warnings against corruption and unfaithfulness within spiritual leadership.

This is my biggest POINT IN ALL OF THIS, that among the holy terror of the Lord, Godly remnant, that it was getting saturated with carnal ambitious, pseudo ministers: the hirelings.

Symbolism of Edom and the Infiltrated Priesthood

  1. Betrayal by a “Brother”:
    • Edom’s Betrayal: In the Book of Obadiah, Edom (descendants of Esau) is condemned for betraying and harming their “brother” Israel (descendants of Jacob) in their time of need. This betrayal represents treachery and disloyalty within a familial or close relationship.
    • Infiltrated Priesthood: The infiltration of the priesthood by hirelings can be seen as a similar betrayal, where those who were supposed to shepherd and guide God’s people faithfully instead serve themselves, undermining the spiritual integrity of the community. These leaders, like Edom, exploit the vulnerability of God’s people.
  2. Pride and Arrogance:
    • Edom’s Arrogance: Edom’s pride and false sense of security, believing that they were beyond God’s judgment, is highlighted in Obadiah 1:3-4. Their arrogance led them to mistreat Israel without fear of consequences.
    • Corrupt Priesthood: Similarly, hirelings in the priesthood may become arrogant, believing their positions or influence protect them from accountability. They may act as though they are above reproach, exploiting their authority without fearing divine judgment.
  3. Judgment and Accountability:
    • Divine Judgment on Edom: God’s judgment on Edom serves as a reminder that betrayal and unjust actions against God’s people will not go unpunished. Obadiah 1:15 emphasizes that what Edom has done will be done to them: “as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee.”
    • Accountability for Corrupt Leaders: In the New Testament, Jesus speaks of false shepherds and hirelings who abandon the flock when danger comes (John 10:12-13). These leaders will face judgment for their negligence and exploitation, just as Edom faced judgment for their betrayal.
  4. Destruction of the Yoke of Oppression:
    • Breaking Edom’s Yoke: In the context of Obadiah, the downfall of Edom symbolizes the breaking of oppression and injustice against God’s people. The prophecy promises that God will restore justice.
    • Freedom from Corrupt Leadership: Infiltration by hirelings can oppress and mislead God’s people spiritually. The breaking of this “yoke” can symbolize the restoration of true spiritual leadership and freedom from manipulative, self-serving influences.

Modern Application: Warnings and Hope

  1. Warning Against Spiritual Compromise: Just as Edom’s betrayal led to their downfall, spiritual leaders and communities must guard against compromise and self-serving motives. Leaders should serve with integrity, humility, and genuine devotion to God and His people.
  2. Vigilance Against False Leaders: Jesus warned against “wolves in sheep’s clothing” (Matthew 7:15) and hirelings who do not truly care for the flock. Believers are called to discern and oppose such influences, seeking leaders who demonstrate Christ-like character.
  3. Hope for Restoration: Despite corruption, God promises restoration and justice. Just as Obadiah prophesied the downfall of Edom and the restoration of Israel, God promises that He will raise up faithful leaders and restore His people to spiritual health and integrity.

In summary, the betrayal and pride of Edom symbolize the infiltration of the priesthood by hirelings who betray God’s people for personal gain. Just as Edom faced divine judgment, corrupt spiritual leaders will be held accountable. However, there is hope for restoration and true leadership, as God remains committed to the welfare and spiritual health of His people.

NEW TESTAMENT FOLLOWS

NEW TESTAMENT FOLLOWS ISAIAH, OBADIAH, MALACHI, THEN THE SILENT HEBREW PRIEST 400 SILENT YEARS.

The New Testament depicts the Pharisees and other groups or individuals as “hirelings” because of their self-serving behavior, hypocrisy, and neglect of true spiritual leadership. This concept is primarily drawn from Jesus’ teachings in the Gospels, particularly in John 10:12-13, where He contrasts the Good Shepherd with hirelings. Below is a more detailed look at the Pharisees and other New Testament figures or groups who exhibit these hireling characteristics.

Pharisees as Hirelings

  1. Hypocritical Leaders:
    • The Pharisees were often more concerned with maintaining appearances and adhering to strict, self-imposed interpretations of the law rather than genuinely guiding the people toward God. Jesus called them out for their hypocrisy and lack of true righteousness.
    • Example: Jesus rebukes them in Matthew 23, calling them “blind guides” (Matthew 23:16) and comparing them to “whited sepulchres” (Matthew 23:27). They were more focused on external purity than on internal righteousness.
  2. Burdening the People:
    • The Pharisees placed heavy burdens on the people through their legalistic interpretations of the law, but they were unwilling to help or provide genuine spiritual guidance.
    • Example: In Matthew 23:4, Jesus says, “For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.”
  3. Self-Interest and Fear of Losing Authority:
    • The Pharisees feared losing their authority and influence over the people, which made them hostile to Jesus’ ministry. They perceived Jesus as a threat to their position and status.
    • Example: In John 11:47-48, after Jesus raises Lazarus from the dead, the Pharisees and chief priests convene a council, saying, “If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation.”

Sadducees as Hirelings

  1. Focus on Political Power:
    • The Sadducees were another religious group that held significant power in the Sanhedrin and were often more concerned with political power and maintaining their privileged position under Roman rule than with true spiritual leadership.
    • They did not believe in the resurrection, angels, or spirits (Acts 23:8), and their teachings were often at odds with those of the Pharisees and Jesus.
  2. Manipulation and Control:
    • The Sadducees were instrumental in manipulating the legal and religious processes to maintain their power. Their role in the trial and condemnation of Jesus reflects their priority on self-preservation and political expediency rather than justice and truth.

Scribes as Hirelings

  1. Experts in the Law with No Heart for God:
    • Scribes were the scholars and legal experts of Jewish law. They were often allied with the Pharisees and known for their strict interpretation of the Scriptures. However, they, too, were criticized by Jesus for their lack of genuine spirituality and concern for the people.
    • Example: In Luke 20:46-47, Jesus warns, “Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts; Which devour widows’ houses, and for a shew make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation.”

Other New Testament Hirelings

  1. Herod the Great and Herod Antipas:
    • Herod the Great, who sought to kill the infant Jesus, and his son Herod Antipas, who beheaded John the Baptist, were leaders who were more interested in maintaining their political power than in the spiritual welfare of the people. They are examples of secular hirelings, using their authority for self-preservation rather than justice or righteousness.
  2. Judas Iscariot:
    • Judas, one of Jesus’ twelve disciples, betrayed Jesus for thirty pieces of silver (Matthew 26:14-16). His actions epitomize the characteristics of a hireling: self-interest, greed, and betrayal of those he was meant to serve alongside.
  3. False Teachers and Prophets:
    • In the New Testament epistles, the Apostles warn against false teachers and prophets who exploit believers for financial gain or personal prestige, similar to hirelings.
    • Example: In 2 Peter 2:1-3, Peter warns, “But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you… And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you.”

Summary of Hireling Characteristics

  1. Self-Interest and Self-Preservation:
    • Hirelings prioritize their own safety, status, and wealth over the well-being of those they are supposed to lead.
  2. Lack of Genuine Care:
    • They do not truly care for the people or the spiritual welfare of their communities. Their actions are motivated by selfish gain rather than service.
  3. Hypocrisy and Legalism:
    • They often hide behind religious practices and appearances of piety but lack true righteousness and love for God and others.
  4. Fear of Losing Control:
    • Hirelings are threatened by genuine movements of God and true spiritual leadership, as they fear losing their influence and authority.

Modern Application: Warnings and Hope

  1. Warning Against Spiritual Compromise: Just as Edom’s betrayal led to their downfall, spiritual leaders and communities must guard against compromise and self-serving motives. Leaders should serve with integrity, humility, and genuine devotion to God and His people.
  2. Vigilance Against False Leaders: Jesus warned against “wolves in sheep’s clothing” (Matthew 7:15) and hirelings who do not truly care for the flock. Believers are called to discern and oppose such influences, seeking leaders who demonstrate Christ-like character.
  3. Hope for Restoration: Despite corruption, God promises restoration and justice. Just as Obadiah prophesied the downfall of Edom and the restoration of Israel, God promises that He will raise up faithful leaders and restore His people to spiritual health and integrity.

In summary, the betrayal and pride of Edom symbolize the infiltration of the priesthood by hirelings who betray God’s people for personal gain. Just as Edom faced divine judgment, corrupt spiritual leaders will be held accountable. However, there is hope for restoration and true leadership, as God remains committed to the welfare and spiritual health of His people.

WHO  ARE THE AREA HIRELINGS?

In the biblical context, “hirelings” refer to individuals who serve in positions of responsibility, especially in spiritual or leadership roles, but lack genuine commitment and concern for the well-being of those they are supposed to serve. The term is often used to describe those who perform their duties solely for personal gain, such as money or status, rather than out of a true calling or devotion to God and His people.

Biblical Reference: John 10

The primary reference to hirelings is found in the New Testament, in the Gospel of John, chapter 10. Jesus contrasts Himself, the “Good Shepherd,” with hirelings. Here are the key verses:

  • John 10:11-13 (KJV):
    • “I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.”

Characteristics of Hirelings

  1. Lack of Genuine Care:
    • Hirelings do not truly care for the flock (the people). They are only interested in what they can gain from their position, whether it be money, power, or prestige. When challenges or dangers arise, they abandon their responsibilities because they are not invested in the well-being of those they serve.
  2. Self-Interest:
    • Unlike true shepherds who are willing to sacrifice for the flock, hirelings prioritize their safety and comfort over the needs of the sheep. Their primary motivation is self-interest rather than service.
  3. Unreliable in Times of Crisis:
    • When difficulties or threats arise, hirelings are quick to abandon the flock. They flee when the “wolf” (symbolizing danger or false teachings) comes, leaving the people vulnerable and unprotected. This demonstrates their unreliability and lack of commitment.
  4. Spiritual Implications:
    • Spiritually, hirelings represent leaders, teachers, or ministers who lack a true calling and devotion to God. They may go through the motions of ministry but are not driven by a love for God or a desire to see His people flourish spiritually. They may exploit their positions for personal gain, leading others astray or failing to protect them from harmful influences.

Modern Application

In contemporary terms, hirelings can be seen in various forms of leadership, especially within the church:

  1. In Church Leadership:
    • A hireling might be a pastor, preacher, or church leader who is more focused on personal advancement, financial gain, or public recognition than on serving the congregation. They may avoid confronting difficult issues or protecting the church from harmful influences because doing so could risk their position or popularity.
  2. In Secular Leadership:
    • While the term “hireling” is traditionally used in a spiritual context, it can also describe anyone in a leadership or caregiving role who lacks genuine concern for those under their care, whether in education, healthcare, or community service.
  3. Discernment for Believers:
    • Believers are called to discern and be wary of hirelings in spiritual leadership. True shepherds are marked by their love for the flock, willingness to sacrifice, and steadfastness in protecting and nurturing those they lead, even in the face of adversity.

 A HIRELING DEFINED, SELF IMPORTANT IN CHRISTIAN LEADERSHIP (Conclusion)

Hirelings, as described in Scripture, are those who occupy roles of responsibility without genuine dedication or love for those they serve. They prioritize personal gain over the welfare of the people, making them unreliable and dangerous in times of crisis. Believers are encouraged to seek and support true shepherds—leaders who demonstrate Christ-like care, sacrifice, and commitment to the spiritual well-being of the community.

The concept of “hirelings” in the New Testament can indeed be associated with certain figures such as the Pharisees and King Herod, who demonstrated behaviors contrary to the true spiritual leadership exemplified by Jesus. Both the Pharisees and King Herod displayed traits typical of hirelings, such as self-interest, hypocrisy, and neglect of genuine care for the people.

Pharisees as Hirelings

  1. Hypocrisy and Self-Righteousness:
    • The Pharisees are often depicted in the Gospels as being more concerned with outward appearances, religious rituals, and maintaining their social status than with truly serving God or the people. Jesus condemned their hypocrisy and self-righteousness, comparing them to “whited sepulchres” (Matthew 23:27) — beautiful on the outside but full of decay inside.
    • Example: In Matthew 23:1-7, Jesus criticizes the Pharisees for burdening people with strict interpretations of the law while refusing to help them. They loved the praise of men and sought positions of honor rather than serving humbly.
  2. Neglect of Justice, Mercy, and Faith:
    • Jesus rebuked the Pharisees for focusing on minor details of the law while neglecting the weightier matters like justice, mercy, and faith (Matthew 23:23). This behavior reflects that of hirelings who, instead of genuinely caring for the spiritual welfare of the people, prioritize legalistic traditions that elevate their own authority.
  3. Fear of Losing Influence:
    • The Pharisees opposed Jesus and sought to undermine His ministry because they feared losing their influence over the people. Their primary concern was to protect their status and power rather than recognizing and following the truth of Jesus’ teachings.
  4. Neglecting the Needs of the People:
    • In John 9, after Jesus heals a man born blind, the Pharisees interrogate him and his family, displaying a complete lack of compassion for his miraculous healing. Their concern is not for the man’s well-being but for maintaining control over the interpretation of the law and protecting their authority.

King Herod as a Hireling

  1. Self-Interest and Political Expediency:
    • King Herod, particularly Herod Antipas, is depicted as a leader primarily concerned with maintaining his power and pleasing the Roman authorities. His decision to execute John the Baptist, despite knowing John was a righteous man, was driven by fear of public embarrassment and political pressure (Mark 6:17-29).
  2. Moral Weakness and Manipulation:
    • Herod’s actions regarding John the Baptist show that he was a weak leader swayed by the desires of others, such as his unlawful wife Herodias and her daughter. Instead of standing firm in truth and justice, he allowed himself to be manipulated, displaying the traits of a hireling who prioritizes self-preservation over righteousness.
  3. Fear of the People:
    • When Jesus is brought before Herod during His trial, Herod is curious and wants to see a miracle, but he does not seriously engage with Jesus or His message (Luke 23:8-11). He mocks Jesus and sends Him back to Pilate, avoiding any responsibility for making a just decision. This reflects the behavior of a hireling, interested in spectacle and entertainment but unwilling to protect or support what is right.

Comparison to Hirelings

  1. Self-Serving Behavior:
    • Both the Pharisees and King Herod exhibit self-serving behavior typical of hirelings. They are more interested in preserving their own power, influence, and comfort than in genuinely caring for the people they lead.
  2. Neglect of True Spiritual Leadership:
    • True spiritual leadership, as exemplified by Jesus, involves self-sacrifice, compassion, and a commitment to truth and justice. The Pharisees and Herod, in contrast, avoid these responsibilities, abandoning the people when it conflicts with their personal agendas.
  3. Failure to Protect and Guide:
    • Like the hirelings in John 10, who flee when danger comes, the Pharisees and Herod fail to protect and guide the people spiritually. The Pharisees lead people astray with legalism and hypocrisy, while Herod allows injustice and cruelty to prevail.

Application for Today

  1. Warning Against False Leaders:
    • The examples of the Pharisees and King Herod serve as warnings against leaders who prioritize their own interests over the spiritual and moral well-being of those they lead. Believers are called to discern true shepherds from hirelings who do not genuinely care for the flock.
  2. Seeking Christ-like Leadership:
    • Jesus, the Good Shepherd, contrasts sharply with these hirelings by His willingness to lay down His life for the sheep. True leaders are called to model Christ’s self-sacrificial love, humility, and commitment to truth and justice, standing firm even when it is costly.

In summary, the Pharisees and King Herod serve as clear examples of hirelings—leaders who, out of self-interest and fear of losing their status, neglect their true responsibilities and abandon the people they are supposed to serve and protect. Their behavior stands in stark contrast to the model of true leadership demonstrated by Jesus

Almighty Turf Guarding Pharisees

The New Testament depicts the Pharisees and other groups or individuals as “hirelings” because of their self-serving behavior, hypocrisy, and neglect of true spiritual leadership. This concept is primarily drawn from Jesus’ teachings in the Gospels, particularly in John 10:12-13, where He contrasts the Good Shepherd with hirelings. Below is a more detailed look at the Pharisees and other New Testament figures or groups who exhibit these hireling characteristics.

Pharisees as Hirelings

  1. Hypocritical Leaders:
    • The Pharisees were often more concerned with maintaining appearances and adhering to strict, self-imposed interpretations of the law rather than genuinely guiding the people toward God. Jesus called them out for their hypocrisy and lack of true righteousness.
    • Example: Jesus rebukes them in Matthew 23, calling them “blind guides” (Matthew 23:16) and comparing them to “whited sepulchres” (Matthew 23:27). They were more focused on external purity than on internal righteousness.
  2. Burdening the People:
    • The Pharisees placed heavy burdens on the people through their legalistic interpretations of the law, but they were unwilling to help or provide genuine spiritual guidance.
    • Example: In Matthew 23:4, Jesus says, “For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.”
  3. Self-Interest and Fear of Losing Authority:
    • The Pharisees feared losing their authority and influence over the people, which made them hostile to Jesus’ ministry. They perceived Jesus as a threat to their position and status.
    • Example: In John 11:47-48, after Jesus raises Lazarus from the dead, the Pharisees and chief priests convene a council, saying, “If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation.”

Sadducees as Hirelings

  1. Focus on Political Power:
    • The Sadducees were another religious group that held significant power in the Sanhedrin and were often more concerned with political power and maintaining their privileged position under Roman rule than with true spiritual leadership.
    • They did not believe in the resurrection, angels, or spirits (Acts 23:8), and their teachings were often at odds with those of the Pharisees and Jesus.
  2. Manipulation and Control:
    • The Sadducees were instrumental in manipulating the legal and religious processes to maintain their power. Their role in the trial and condemnation of Jesus reflects their priority on self-preservation and political expediency rather than justice and truth.

Scribes as Hirelings

  1. Experts in the Law with No Heart for God:
    • Scribes were the scholars and legal experts of Jewish law. They were often allied with the Pharisees and known for their strict interpretation of the Scriptures. However, they, too, were criticized by Jesus for their lack of genuine spirituality and concern for the people.
    • Example: In Luke 20:46-47, Jesus warns, “Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts; Which devour widows’ houses, and for a shew make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation.”

Other New Testament Hirelings

  1. Herod the Great and Herod Antipas:
    • Herod the Great, who sought to kill the infant Jesus, and his son Herod Antipas, who beheaded John the Baptist, were leaders who were more interested in maintaining their political power than in the spiritual welfare of the people. They are examples of secular hirelings, using their authority for self-preservation rather than justice or righteousness.
  2. Judas Iscariot:
    • Judas, one of Jesus’ twelve disciples, betrayed Jesus for thirty pieces of silver (Matthew 26:14-16). His actions epitomize the characteristics of a hireling: self-interest, greed, and betrayal of those he was meant to serve alongside.
  3. False Teachers and Prophets:
    • In the New Testament epistles, the Apostles warn against false teachers and prophets who exploit believers for financial gain or personal prestige, similar to hirelings.
    • Example: In 2 Peter 2:1-3, Peter warns, “But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you… And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you.”

Summary of Hireling Characteristics

  1. Self-Interest and Self-Preservation:
    • Hirelings prioritize their own safety, status, and wealth over the well-being of those they are supposed to lead.
  2. Lack of Genuine Care:
    • They do not truly care for the people or the spiritual welfare of their communities. Their actions are motivated by selfish gain rather than service.
  3. Hypocrisy and Legalism:
    • They often hide behind religious practices and appearances of piety but lack true righteousness and love for God and others.
  4. Fear of Losing Control:
    • Hirelings are threatened by genuine movements of God and true spiritual leadership, as they fear losing their influence and authority.

#5 THE NATION OF ISAIAH
SCRIPTURE PORTRAITS WHICH RELATE TO AMERICA

WE ZERO IN ON  AN AUTHENTIC ISAIAH 1:18 (MEANING : RELATIONSHIP RESPECT) NON BERATING AMERICA

“Come now, and let us reason together,

saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow;

though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.” ISAIAH 1:18

(C)2025 Taveau D’Arcy All copyrights reserved under international copyright laws

ONE: READ ISAIAH 58 which I describe as an “other centric”  Aka ” RELATIONSHIP FAST” which serves The Most High God as much as any food fast. (when, as, if HE gives it to you)

TWO: HOW DID GOD VALUE, RESPECT, PRECISELY “ACT “REACT” “INTERACT WITH” “BEHAVE” TOWARD  ADAM IN GENESIS 3 after He recognized that as Head of Home, Planet and Family, His first born creation MAN had sinned and eaten the fruit (pleasing Eve rather than submitting to please the Creator Father) thereby WRECKING God’s Entire PURELY ORGANIC Earthly, Planetary, intended as FOREVER “GAME PLAN?”

THREE: BEING A TYPE OF CHRISTIAN MINISTRY ” HEAVEN’S ADVOCATE:” In light of the MANY who berate MANY atypical, Christian, secular and gender( almost EVERY Other) others. One may point out that the ISAIAH 1:18 mentioned below is valid today. And it comes in Isaiah AFTER Genesis 18 and 19 Sodom and Gomorrah.

God made imperfect “human valuable persons’ NOT sinful objects. RELATE (using human compassion, genuine accepting basic kindness, real respect) FIRST  without Bible thumping accuser  pressure (THIS DOES NOT MEAN that one can “trust” but YOU are trustworthy for THEM to feel GOOD about THEMSELVES and YOU.”** (**WHY?? for other human persons are able to “perceptively, inner ” READ” US.. !!)

Bible great example:

See the keenly perceptive wise psalmist (which is not thought to be  King David, but Isaiah during Hezekiah’s time)  moan about “others” Psalm 123:3-4:
“Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt; Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that area at ease, and with the contempt of the proud”

ALSO …NO KNEE JERK REACTIONS “My own mission has been to deliver the Accusing BIG JERK out of KNEE JERK reactions” Non Debater Sister T See “No Debate Policy” above on every website home page.

FOUR: MINISTRY COMPASSION on every kind of persons (as in noting their very possible BIG “BACKSTORY” means Empathy, mature understanding = JESUS REAL LOVING RESPECT” **

** NOTE TO THE CHRISTIAN HYPER: Showing JESUS CHRIST RESPECT is not “condoning, endorsing or compromising” IT IS THE LOWEST REAL LIFE LEVEL OF “AUTHENTICALLY” REPRESENTING THE  LOVING MESSIAH, THE MATURE LEADER CHRIST.

FIVE: THIS GENUINE”RELATIONSHIP RESPECT” is the keynote to this Body of Christ solemn Cross Body Unity type of Ministry. So it applies to ALL tribes, nations, religious viewpoints, ages, colors, vibes, looks, choice, preferred lifestyles, sizes, generations, politics, education, incomes, social strata, fame or without, ETC

MEGA POINT: “Come now let us reason “

  1. “COME” Denotes MEETING, TO WORK THINGS OUT, RELATING .TO HEAR THE OTHER PERSONS VALUABLE POINTS ( 2 persons,members of family,  groups or ministers)
  2. “NOW” without self serving avoidance, withstanding delay, ducking, avoiding, preventive posturing, procrastination, putting it off, using accusing gossip, media, rumors and “believing the evil report” to conserve personal time, strength so as to avoid “someone’s baggage”)
    3. “REASON” to respect another enough to CARE about them in a relationship valuing form. And to be Galatians 6:1/Matthew 18:15 potentially, submitted to Paul and Matthew. “Reason does not mean “diatribe” to ‘try to win” “to prove your own point” and or to “get close enough to lecture, debate, control” PS It is humble
  • 4.“TOGETHER” a meeting between to opinions, cares, views “Pauline Galatians 6:1, Matthew 18;15 “in person, in private and with RESPECT”

Come Now, and Let Us Reason Together: Isaiah 1:18 in Light of True Christian Respect

HOW DO WE WHO REPRESENT MESSIAH CHRIST “COMMUNICATE”

1. Among ourselves

2. Before the Nation

3. Before the Globe using Christian Media

WONDERING(AMERICAN LEADER)

Modern Christian leader, parent, neighbor, minister, media leader WHO ARE WE ROLE MODELING: The mean ACCUSER or the MESSIAH “who would not Judge by the sight of His eyes nor make decision based on what He heard” SEE ISAIAH 11:2-3

TAVEAU’S POINTS: “LISTEN” TO THE TONES, USE OF METHODS, AND MEDIA

The Call to Respectful Dialogue in Ministry

Isaiah 1:18 (KJV) declares:

“Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.”

This verse is often quoted in the context of God’s willingness to forgive. However, when viewed through the lens of modern Christian ministry and interpersonal relationships, it speaks volumes about the need for respect, dialogue, and genuine engagement rather than accusation, public shaming, or distant condemnation.

Respect Over Religious Accusation

Many local ministries, online voices, and religious leaders have embraced a practice of public condemnation, accusation, and Bible-thumping rather than engagement, reasoning, and relationship. Instead of following the biblical model of direct, respectful confrontation (Matthew 18:15, Galatians 6:1), they choose to sit afar, making assumptions and declarations about individuals they have never met.

Yet, Isaiah 1:18 does not depict an angry, berating God. Instead, it presents a relational, reasoning, and inviting God—one who calls His people into dialogue. The Lord’s approach is neither forceful nor condemning; rather, it is an invitation to come and reason together.

If God Himself, the Righteous Judge, invites sinners to dialogue and restoration, should we not do the same?

Isaiah 1:18 and the Apostolic Mandate for Respect

While Isaiah’s words are from the Old Testament, they align perfectly with the apostolic commands given in the New Testament.

  • Galatians 6:1 – “Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.”
    • This verse does not endorse public shaming or accusations but commands restoration through a spirit of meekness.
  • Matthew 18:15 – “Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.”
    • The biblical model is direct and private, not public and accusatory.

Isaiah’s words support these principles: God calls individuals into relationship-based resolution, not distant, detached vilification. This is the heart of true Christian respect.

The Danger of Remote Accusations and Bible-Thumping Judgment

Far too often, ministries and leaders assume authority to call out, label, and shame others without personal knowledge, dialogue, or relationship. Terms like “Jezebel,” “witch,” “false prophet,” and “heretic” are hurled at fellow believers without due process or biblical confrontation. This behavior directly contradicts the invitation of Isaiah 1:18 and the apostolic commands of the New Testament.

When Jesus confronted sinners, He did so relationally, with understanding and grace. He spoke with the woman at the well (John 4) rather than condemning her from a distance. He invited Zacchaeus to dine with Him (Luke 19) rather than shouting rebukes from afar.

In contrast, Pharisees condemned without relationship—a pattern that Jesus Himself rebuked.

A Higher Standard: Valuing Relationship and Respect

Isaiah 1:18 is not a verse of attack but of invitation. The heart of God is to reason together, to engage, to listen, and to restore. As Christ’s ambassadors, we must follow this model.

Practical Applications:

  1. Before rebuking someone, ask: Have I met them? Have I spoken to them personally?
  2. Follow the biblical order of confrontation—private before public.
  3. Refuse to engage in name-calling, gossip, or social media accusations.
  4. Remember that correction without love and relationship leads to rebellion, not restoration.
  5. Model Christ’s approach—inviting conversation, not declaring condemnation from afar.

In a time when division and public shaming have become the norm, let us return to the heart of God’s invitation: “Come now, and let us reason together.” A ministry that reflects the respect, dialogue, and patience of Christ is one that truly honors Him.

Conclusion

A true Christlike ministry does not thrive on accusation but on engagement, relationship, and restoration. Isaiah 1:18 challenges us to reason, not revile—to restore, not to reject. Let us be known not as religious judges but as Christ’s ambassadors, speaking the truth in love, in relationship, and in respect.

Isaiah Chapter 1: A Prophetic Warning to Israel and Its Relevance Today

Isaiah 1 is a powerful chapter that serves as both an indictment of Israel’s rebellion and a call to repentance. The message given to Israel in this chapter is timeless, as it reflects God’s heart toward any nation or people who turn away from Him. By examining its historical context and applying its principles today, we can see how this passage speaks directly to modern Christians and even to America

1. Historical Background: Israel in the Time of Isaiah

Isaiah ministered during the reigns of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah (Isaiah 1:1), around 740–680 B.C. This was a time of moral decay, religious corruption, and social injustice in Judah. Though the people maintained outward religious practices, their hearts were far from God.

  • The Northern Kingdom of Israel had already fallen into apostasy, relying on foreign alliances rather than trusting in God.
  • The Southern Kingdom of Judah was heading in the same direction, engaging in idolatry and oppression of the poor.
  • The people of Jerusalem and Judah continued offering sacrifices, but they were empty rituals because their lives did not reflect true obedience.

Isaiah was sent to warn Judah of impending judgment if they did not repent. His prophecy ultimately foreshadowed the Babylonian captivity, which occurred in 586 B.C., when Jerusalem was destroyed, and the people were exiled.

2. Isaiah 1: The Charges Against Israel

A. A Rebellious Nation (Isaiah 1:2-4, KJV)

“Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the LORD hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me.” (Isaiah 1:2)

God calls heaven and earth as witnesses against Israel. Despite being their provider and protector, His people had rebelled like ungrateful children.

“The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master’s crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.” (Isaiah 1:3)

Even animals recognize their master, but Israel had forgotten their God. This verse highlights their spiritual blindness.

“Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.” (Isaiah 1:4)

The sins of Israel included:

  • Forsaking the Lord (apostasy)
  • Corrupting future generations
  • Living in deep iniquity

Relevance to America and Christians Today:

  • Many have abandoned biblical values for worldly philosophies (humanism, secularism, materialism).
  • There is widespread moral decay, especially regarding family, marriage, and gender roles.
  • Instead of relying on God, people trust in government, money, and social ideologies.

B. A Sin-Sick Society (Isaiah 1:5-6, KJV)

“Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.” (Isaiah 1:5)

God had already disciplined Israel, yet they continued in rebellion. The nation’s leadership (the head) and the people’s morality (the heart) were both corrupted.

“From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment.” (Isaiah 1:6)

Their spiritual condition was like an untreated wound—infected and decaying.

Relevance to America and Christians Today:

  • America, once founded on biblical principles, now promotes sin openly (abortion, sexual immorality, greed, injustice).
  • Many churches are filled with false teachings, lukewarm faith, and compromise (Revelation 3:15-17).
  • Society is broken—mental illness, violence, and lawlessness are increasing.

C. A Desolate Land (Isaiah 1:7-9, KJV)

“Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.” (Isaiah 1:7)

Because of their sins, Judah was vulnerable to foreign invasion. They faced economic collapse, war, and destruction.

“Except the LORD of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah.” (Isaiah 1:9)

DR T ASIDE: Sister T says “why not Google “the sins of Sodom as described in Ezekiel 16:49-50 KJV and see if they pertain to PARTS of the Church today) which from back in 2010 DFW but applies still

Despite their wickedness, God preserved a faithful remnant.

Relevance to America and Christians Today:

  • Crime and violence are rising in many cities.
  • America faces external threats from foreign powers.
  • The remnant church—faithful believers—must stand firm in truth.

3. God’s Call to Repentance (Isaiah 1:16-20, KJV)

“Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;” (Isaiah 1:16)

God commands repentance:

  1. Wash – Be cleansed by true repentance.
  2. Put away evil – Stop sinful behaviors.
  3. Learn to do well – Live righteously.

“Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.” (Isaiah 1:18)

God offers mercy if His people repent!

Relevance to America and Christians Today:

  • The only hope for America is national repentance.
  • God still offers forgiveness to individuals and nations who turn to Him.
  • The blood of Jesus cleanses from all sin (1 John 1:7).

4. The Consequences of Rebellion (Isaiah 1:24-31, KJV)

If Judah refused to repent, God would bring judgment.

“Therefore saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts, the mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of mine adversaries, and avenge me of mine enemies.” (Isaiah 1:24)

  • God would purge the wicked and restore righteousness (Isaiah 1:25-27).
  • The idolatrous and rebellious would be consumed (Isaiah 1:28-31).

Relevance to America and Christians Today:

  • Unrepentant nations face God’s judgment (Romans 1:18-32).
  • The righteous will be preserved, but the wicked will perish (Proverbs 14:34).
  • America must choose repentance or destruction.

Conclusion: A Call to the Church

Isaiah 1 speaks prophetically to both Israel and modern nations like America. It is a call to repentance and a warning against hypocrisy. The church must:

  • Reject false religion and seek genuine faith.
  • Preach repentance and turn from sin.
  • Be the remnant—living holy, trusting in Jesus.

Will America and the church repent, or will they face judgment? Isaiah 1 presents the choice: “If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land” (Isaiah 1:19).

Let’s expand this study by focusing on:

  1. Specific sins Isaiah addresses and how they relate to modern society.
  2. Biblical patterns of revival and repentance from Israel’s history.
  3. New Testament connections—how Jesus and the apostles reaffirm Isaiah’s message.

1. Specific Sins in Isaiah 1 and Their Modern Parallels

Isaiah 1 highlights several key sins that led to God’s judgment. These same patterns are seen in modern nations, including America.

A. Religious Hypocrisy (Isaiah 1:11-15, KJV)

“To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats.” (Isaiah 1:11)

God rejected their religious rituals because their hearts were corrupt. They performed outward ceremonies but lacked true obedience.

Modern Parallel:

  • Many churches today emphasize religious tradition over true repentance.
  • Some believers go through the motions—attending church, tithing, praying—while secretly living in sin.
  • Some mega-ministries focus on entertainment, wealth, and numbers rather than holiness and discipleship.

📖 Jesus’ Words:

“This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.” (Matthew 15:8)

B. Social Injustice and Corruption (Isaiah 1:17, 23, KJV)

“Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.” (Isaiah 1:17)

“Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them.” (Isaiah 1:23)

Israel’s leaders were corrupt, prioritizing personal gain over justice.

Modern Parallel:

  • Government and corporate corruption are rampant.
  • Exploitation of the poor (human trafficking, homelessness, predatory loans).
  • Greedy politicians and pastors seek personal wealth instead of righteousness.

📖 Jesus’ Words:

“Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.” (Matthew 23:14)

C. Sexual Immorality and Idolatry (Isaiah 1:21, KJV)

“How is the faithful city become an harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers.”

Israel was once faithful but became spiritually unfaithful (a harlot) by embracing idolatry and immorality.

Modern Parallel:

  • Society normalizes adultery, fornication, and pornography.
  • Idolatry in the form of money, fame, self-worship.
  • Even some churches accept unbiblical sexual ethics.

📖 Paul’s Warning:

“Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.” (Romans 1:21)

2. Patterns of Revival and Repentance in Israel

Throughout biblical history, whenever Israel fell into sin, God sent prophets to call them back. When they repented, He brought restoration.

Example 1: King Hezekiah’s Revival (2 Kings 18:1-7)

  • Removed idols and pagan altars
  • Restored temple worship
  • Trusted in God rather than foreign alliances

Lesson for Today: America needs leaders and churches willing to remove spiritual compromise and return to biblical truth.

Example 2: King Josiah’s Reforms (2 Kings 22-23)

  • Rediscovered God’s Word (the Law)
  • Destroyed idols and high places
  • Led the nation in repentance

📖 Key Verse:

“And the king stood by a pillar, and made a covenant before the LORD, to walk after the LORD, and to keep his commandments… with all their heart and all their soul.” (2 Kings 23:3)

Lesson for Today: A true revival will come when God’s Word is restored as the foundation of the church and nation.

3. New Testament Connections: How Jesus and the Apostles Reaffirm Isaiah’s Message

Isaiah’s message foreshadowed both the coming of Christ and His teachings.

A. Jesus is the Ultimate Redeemer (Isaiah 1:18 → 1 John 1:7)

Isaiah 1:18 promises that sins as scarlet will be made white as snow.

📖 Fulfillment in Christ:

“The blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.” (1 John 1:7)

No matter how deep the sin, Jesus provides cleansing for those who repent.

B. The Pharisees as Modern-Day Israel (Isaiah 1:11-15 → Matthew 23:27-28)

Isaiah condemned Israel’s empty religious rituals. Jesus did the same with the Pharisees, who were outwardly religious but inwardly corrupt.

📖 Jesus’ Words:

“Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men’s bones.” (Matthew 23:27)

Religious hypocrisy is one of the biggest threats to the modern church.

C. The Call to Repentance is the Same (Isaiah 1:16-17 → Acts 3:19)

Isaiah 1:16-17 calls Israel to wash, repent, and do justice.

📖 New Testament Call:

“Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord.” (Acts 3:19)

The message of repentance remains the same.

Final Call to the Church and America

Isaiah 1 is both a warning and an invitation:

🔥 If we continue in rebellion → Judgment and destruction.
🙏 If we repent → Forgiveness and restoration.

America and the Church Must Choose:

✔ Will we turn back to God and experience revival?
✖ Or will we continue in sin and face judgment?

A Prayer for Repentance and Revival

“Heavenly Father, we see the warnings in Your Word. Just as You called Israel to repentance, You are calling us today. Forgive us for hypocrisy, injustice, and idolatry. Wash us clean, and turn our hearts back to You. Let revival begin in our hearts, our churches, and our nation. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

TAVEAU CLOSES WITH THIS SOLEMN REMINDER

THE BADLY NEEDED 2 Chronicles 7:14 “IF(IF conditional**) My people, who are called by MY NAME shall humble themselves, seek My Face and turn from their wicked ways THEN I will hear from heaven and heal their land”

And while many feel like they have a LOT to celebrate, in all realism,  there is a lot to be healed. I would advise the more celebrity pastors, their many ministers, plain speaking many followers that

To the harried, hurried many undecided, poor ME and mean indifferent:

Taking the Holy Lord God at His Word (understanding that while this is in the Old Testament, it still pertains. Just not back Under the OT Levitical Law) Also knowing that Peter in the New Testament also commented “LET JUDGEMENT BEGIN IN HOUSE OF GOD” surely in very small and mighty mega great and private individual unsung and/or highly KNOWN

IF they, each of feel “ that it is IMPORTANT to the NATION and to their FUTURE CHURCH….

AND “IF” “WHEN” ‘they can fit it into THEIR TIGHT HURRIED BUSY MANY SCHEDULES

AND “IF” They really BELIEVE IN THE THIS and THE MATURE HOLY BIBLE WORD OF THE LORD in these modern more sly ages..then I WOULD SUBMIT THAT IT is NEEDED, AND PERTINENT and INDEED VALUABLE

PS GOOGLE SEARCH: A Valuable Psalm 132: 9 and 16…( the effects of  a pastor, overseer, shepherd on the congregation” (meaning “it ain’t ALL THE ONGOING ATTENDING PERSONS” MEAN FAULT”)

APOSTLE TAVEAU’S USE CAUTION:
NOTE ALL THIS :her own purposes for stating all of this.

MAIN PURPOSE: Taveau acknowledges that in the 30 plus years, the materialism of this world has gotten into the church. It is much media, plus “teaching” by product. So that “nowadays” many who are affected, afflicted, infected by TV portrayals of “Famous Christian Ministry” desire to “famous” King Solomons, as that is what has been preached for as long as I can recall mostly spirit filled, tongue talking, TV media effected, now selective, elite and many “celebrity” well known ministries**

**ALTHOUGH  it is not ALL, (the holy Godly renmant remains) yet their is a decidly” DEMAS (care more for the things of this world) MAJORITY..AND while many might RESEMBLE SUCH this is not “Accusing ” but valuing the “Assessment, deep Evaluation ” of both the pure Eternal, Relationship Valuing “PURE FRUIT” versus the commercial ambitious “non servant” “people owning” WANNABEISM (my own coined term)
CAUTION: Never use stereotypes in persons, ministries, leaders, TV MEDIA and or RACE GENDER, hers, hims, assessing all ” them.”
NOW BACK ON COURSE:

Taveau wants Chat GPT AI to overview OTHER SCRIPTURE PORTRAYALS in the BIBLE which can be used to deeply TRAIN A Future Church…I assess this as a brief OUTLINE or OVERVIEW (not dwelling to deeply) ..I can do that LATER which I might.

Messianic Prophecies in Isaiah and Their Fulfillment in Jesus Christ

The Book of Isaiah contains some of the most profound and detailed prophecies about the coming Messiah—Jesus Christ. These prophecies not only foretold His birth, ministry, suffering, death, and resurrection but also continue to have relevance today. Below is a breakdown of key Messianic passages in Isaiah, their fulfillment in Christ, and their significance in our time.

1. The Virgin Birth: Isaiah 7:14

Prophecy:
“Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.” (Isaiah 7:14, KJV)

Fulfillment:
Matthew 1:22-23 explicitly connects this prophecy to the birth of Jesus through the Virgin Mary. Immanuel means “God with us,” emphasizing Jesus’ divine presence among humanity.

Relevance Today:
The virgin birth signifies God’s miraculous intervention in history. It also reassures believers that Jesus is not just a prophet or teacher but fully divine, fulfilling God’s promise to dwell with His people.

2. The Coming King: Isaiah 9:6-7

Prophecy:
“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” (Isaiah 9:6)

Fulfillment:
Luke 1:32-33 confirms that Jesus fulfills this role, as the angel Gabriel announces that He will reign over the house of Jacob forever.

Relevance Today:
Jesus’ reign has begun spiritually in the hearts of believers and will be fully realized at His second coming. In a world of turmoil, this prophecy reminds us that Jesus is the Prince of Peace, offering true reconciliation with God.

3. I saiah 11:2-3 – The Sevenfold Spirit of God and the Messiah

Isaiah 11:2-3 describes the divine wisdom and anointing that will rest upon the coming Messiah. These verses are central to understanding the nature of Jesus Christ and how He fulfills God’s perfect will through the Holy Spirit.

Isaiah 11:2 (KJV):

“And the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord.”

Isaiah 11:3 (KJV):

“And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the Lord: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears.”

1. The Sevenfold Spirit of God (Isaiah 11:2)

Isaiah 11:2 outlines seven aspects of the Spirit that would rest upon the Messiah, which are also referenced in Revelation 4:5 and Revelation 5:6 as the “seven spirits of God.” These qualities define Jesus’ divine authority and perfect leadership.

Spirit Attribute Meaning Fulfillment in Jesus Christ
1. The Spirit of the Lord The presence of God resting upon Him. Jesus was fully anointed by the Holy Spirit (Luke 3:22, John 3:34).
2. The Spirit of Wisdom Divine insight and application of knowledge. Jesus taught with authority, confounding religious leaders (Matthew 7:28-29).
3. The Spirit of Understanding Deep perception of divine truth. Jesus knew the hearts of men (John 2:25) and explained God’s mysteries.
4. The Spirit of Counsel Divine guidance and instruction. Jesus is the “Wonderful Counselor” (Isaiah 9:6), leading His followers in truth.
5. The Spirit of Might Power and strength to accomplish God’s will. Jesus performed miracles, cast out demons, and conquered sin and death (Matthew 28:18).
6. The Spirit of Knowledge Divine awareness of all things. Jesus had perfect knowledge of God and His plan (Colossians 2:3).
7. The Spirit of the Fear of the Lord Reverence and obedience to God. Jesus lived in perfect submission to the Father (John 5:19, Hebrews 5:7-8).

Relation to the Holy Spirit

This prophecy reveals the fullness of the Holy Spirit operating in the life of Jesus. These attributes were evident in His ministry and are also available to believers through the Holy Spirit (John 14:26, Acts 1:8)

2. The Messiah’s Discernment and Righteous Judgment (Isaiah 11:3)

Isaiah 11:3 prophesies that the Messiah will not judge by outward appearances but by divine wisdom and discernment.

  • “And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the Lord.”
    • The phrase “quick understanding” (Hebrew: רוּחַ רֵיחַ – ruach reyach) suggests a keen spiritual sensitivity—Jesus had an acute awareness of God’s will.
    • Jesus operated in complete obedience to the Father (John 5:30).
  • “He shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears.”
    • Unlike human leaders, Jesus does not rely on external appearances or biased testimonies.
    • He sees the heart (1 Samuel 16:7, John 7:24) and judges in perfect righteousness.

Fulfillment in Jesus’ Ministry

  • Jesus saw beyond external actions and into people’s hearts (Luke 5:22, John 4:16-19).
  • He judged fairly and righteously, defending the weak and exposing hypocrisy (Matthew 23, John 8:1-11).
  • He taught that true judgment must be righteous, not superficial (John 7:24).

3. Relevance Today: Jesus as Our Righteous Judge

A. Jesus’ Leadership in the Church

The qualities described in Isaiah 11:2-3 shape how Jesus leads His people today. He continues to:

  • Guide His church with wisdom and understanding through the Holy Spirit.
  • Give counsel and strength to believers in times of trouble.
  • Provide knowledge and discernment through His Word.
  • Teach reverence for God, calling His followers to obedience.

B. Personal Application for Believers

As followers of Christ, we are called to operate in these same attributes through the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23, 1 Corinthians 2:10-16):

  1. Seek wisdom and understanding through prayer and Scripture.
  2. Rely on the Spirit’s counsel for guidance.
  3. Walk in the power of God, resisting sin and spreading the Gospel.
  4. Grow in the knowledge of God, deepening our relationship with Him.
  5. Live in the fear of the Lord, respecting His authority.

C. Jesus’ Coming Judgment

Isaiah 11:3 reminds us that Jesus, as the righteous judge, will ultimately rule with fairness (Acts 17:31). When He returns, He will:

  • Judge not by human standards, but by divine truth.
  • Bring justice to the oppressed and punish wickedness (Revelation 19:11-16).
  • Establish His eternal kingdom, where righteousness reigns (Isaiah 11:4-9).

Conclusion: The Spirit-Filled Messiah and His Everlasting Kingdom

Isaiah 11:2-3 reveals that the coming Messiah would be uniquely anointed with the fullness of God’s Spirit. Jesus Christ perfectly fulfilled this prophecy, demonstrating divine wisdom, justice, and power. Today, believers are invited to walk in the same Spirit, growing in knowledge, reverence, and obedience to God as we await His final return.

4. The Light to the Gentiles: Isaiah 42:1-7, Isaiah 49:6

Prophecy:
“I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles.” (Isaiah 42:6)

Fulfillment:
Luke 2:29-32 records Simeon declaring that Jesus is “a light to lighten the Gentiles.” Additionally, in John 8:12, Jesus declares, “I am the light of the world.”

Relevance Today:
This prophecy confirms that salvation is not just for Israel but for all nations. Jesus continues to be the Light in a dark world, guiding people out of sin and into eternal life.

5. The Suffering Servant: Isaiah 53

Prophecy:
Isaiah 53 describes the suffering, rejection, and atoning death of the Messiah:

  • “He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief” (Isaiah 53:3).
  • “He was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed” (Isaiah 53:5).
  • “He is brought as a lamb to the slaughter” (Isaiah 53:7).

Fulfillment:

  • Jesus’ trial and crucifixion match these descriptions exactly (Matthew 27, John 19).
  • He was wounded for our sins (1 Peter 2:24).
  • He was silent before His accusers (Matthew 26:63, 27:12).

Relevance Today:
This chapter is central to Christian faith, proving that Jesus’ death was not an accident but part of God’s redemption plan. His sacrifice still offers healing and salvation to those who believe.

 

6. The Mission of the Messiah: Isaiah 61:1-2

Prophecy:
“The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound.” (Isaiah 61:1)

Fulfillment:
Jesus directly quotes this passage in Luke 4:16-21 in the synagogue, stating, “This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.” He confirms that He is the fulfillment of this prophecy.

Relevance Today:
Jesus continues to bring healing, freedom from sin, and spiritual restoration. His mission remains active through His followers, who are called to proclaim His Gospel.

7. The Rejection of the Messiah: Isaiah 8:14-15

Prophecy:
“And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel.” (Isaiah 8:14)

Fulfillment:
1 Peter 2:7-8 refers to Jesus as the “stone the builders rejected.” The Pharisees and many Israelites stumbled over Him because He did not fit their expectations of a conquering Messiah.

Relevance Today:
Many still reject Jesus today, seeing Him as a stumbling block. However, to those who believe, He remains the cornerstone of faith.

8. The Second Coming and Eternal Kingdom: Isaiah 11:1-10

Prophecy:
“And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots.” (Isaiah 11:1)

This passage describes a future time of peace when the Messiah reigns over all nations.

Fulfillment:
Jesus is the Branch from Jesse (David’s father), and He will fully establish His kingdom at His second coming (Revelation 19-22).

Relevance Today:
We live in the period between Jesus’ first and second coming. The prophecy reminds believers to anticipate His return and to spread His kingdom through the Gospel.

Conclusion: Isaiah’s Prophecies and Their Significance Today

Isaiah’s Messianic prophecies were fulfilled in Jesus Christ, confirming Him as the promised Savior. These prophecies continue to hold meaning because:

  1. They prove that Jesus’ coming was divinely planned, reinforcing faith in Scripture.
  2. They demonstrate God’s faithfulness in fulfilling His promises.
  3. They remind believers that Jesus will return to fully establish His kingdom.

Isaiah’s words bridge the Old and New Testaments, revealing that God’s salvation plan was in motion long before Christ’s birth. Today, these prophecies encourage believers to trust in Jesus, proclaim His Gospel, and anticipate His triumphant return.

T’D’ARCY- MAVEN “UP FRONT VIEWPOINT”… I DON’T DEBATE

For the many who have never ever greeted me. Please count all of this as POLICY.

FOR THE RECORDS


From Taveau Creative Leadership

(C)2025  Apostle Taveau D’Arcy All copyrights reserved under international copyright laws

I DON’T DEBATE.

INSTEAD I,  AS FOLLOWS,

BIBLE SCRIPTURE APOSTOLIC “RELATE”

Scriptures:
Isaiah 1:18
“Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.”

Ephesians 2:14-15
“For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace.”

**Ephesians 5:21
“Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.”

**(This is historically the ENTIRE First Church, after Christ left for heaven and left the offices in charge of guarding, guiding, governing the sheep)However, it was “mutual submission in all offices, elders, lay, families and wedded legal Christian marriages” AND there were no “Big I’s Little you’s in the First Church for it was servant leader and history states the the chief apostles and the church ruled by “consensus” as there was “NO ONE CHRISTIAN PERSON or Ministry SUBCULTURE who were “OVER” the rest”

Pastor T and Cross Body Unity practice this and equip on it. FYI “Mutual Submission” means “Sheriff Andy Taylor of Mayberry (view the old TV reruns) as he interacts with office deputy Barney Fife, His Aunt Bea, son Opie and the rest of the townspeople. NOTE: THIS ILLUSTRATION WAS GRANTED TO ME, (OPENED UP TO ME) BY THE HOLY SPIRIT.

POINT: This is how First Church style “pure hearted Ephesians 4 “community” which is GOOD NEIGHBOR and more attractive to the seeking, hurting or stranger, alien, newbie and lost.

PLUS: In history is says that the FIRST CHURCH pioneered by Christ, had only servant sr leadership and no “authoritarianism” control (this would imply no cults, totalitarianism or human slave mentality regarding persons as “THEIR property” which I have repeatedly encountered. Apostolic history says “there were no authoritarians, controlling totalitarians,  in the First Church until later, when the influences of Rome and Greece, Hellenism seeped in)

 

Galatians 6:1
“Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.”

Matthew 18:15
“Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.”

Revelation 2:20
“Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou tolerate that woman(or man/human,  movement, stuck on itself accusing subculture) Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.”

James 3:17
“But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.” Per Christian:  this is my USUAL behavior, respecting demeanor.

PLUS, I STAND IN APOSTOLIC

Philippians 2:12
“Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.”

 

POTENTIAL PAULINE EXCEPTIONS

2 Timothy 3:1-8
“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof:

from such turn away.

For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.”

1 Timothy 6:5
“Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness:

from such withdraw thyself.”

 

PS Psalm 144: “Beware the strange children”

Psalm 114:7-11 “Send thine hand from above; rid me, and deliver me out of great waters, from the hand of strange children; 8 Whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood. 9 I will sing a new song unto thee, O God: upon a psaltery and an instrument of ten strings will I sing praises unto thee. 10 It is he that giveth salvation unto kings: who delivereth David his servant from the hurtful sword. 11 Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of strange children, whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood.”

Unknown prophets in the Bible that were called out during times of great national crisis such as Amos and the men in 1 Samuel 4. Many more.

ChatGPT said:

The Bible highlights several lesser-known prophets who were called by God during times of national crisis. These individuals often played critical roles in delivering God’s messages to His people, even if they are not as prominently discussed as figures like Isaiah or Jeremiah. Here are a few examples:

THIS IS THE FIRST TD MAIN POINT “AMOS” (TD has gone into Amos(not being trained among the Hebrews) seems to be an encouragement for the many ‘unknown, not seen” auththentic prophets today.. To the writer, after deeply evaluating, Amos, not being known as “the prophet” strikes a similarity this NOW “servant leader, no showbiz” and “fear of the Lord, Godly remnant NOW INCREASING REAL MOVE. Therefore (to this person) is appears  similar to NOW TODAY on the American Seen. seeming importance, deeper, but Chat GPT online scratches the basic surface

1. Amos

Background: Amos was not a professional prophet but a shepherd and a dresser of sycamore figs (Amos 7:14-15).
Context: He prophesied during a time of national prosperity in Israel but warned of impending judgment due to social injustice, idolatry, and moral corruption.
Message: Amos condemned the complacency of the wealthy and called for justice to “roll down like waters” (Amos 5:24).

2. The Man of God in 1 Kings 13

Background: This unnamed prophet was sent from Judah to rebuke King Jeroboam for his idolatry at Bethel.
Context: Jeroboam had set up golden calves as alternative centers of worship, leading Israel into sin.
Message: The prophet predicted the destruction of Jeroboam’s altar and the coming of King Josiah, who would reform Israel (1 Kings 13:1-10).

*** THIS IS THE TD SECOND BIG POINT: NAMELESS, FACELESS PROPHET “SENT TO ” ELI. IN I SAMUEL

“THE UNKNOWN PROPHET IN THE DAYS OF BOYS WILL BE BOYS SR MINISTRY
3. The Prophet in 1 Samuel 2-4

Background: An unnamed “man of God” was sent to rebuke Eli, the high priest, for the sins of his sons, Hophni and Phinehas.

Context: Israel was in spiritual and moral decline, and the priesthood was corrupt.
Message: The prophet warned Eli that his lineage would lose the priesthood and that God would raise up a faithful priest (1 Samuel 2:27-36).

4. Nathan

Role: Though more widely recognized, Nathan often spoke during pivotal moments of crisis.
Example: Nathan confronted King David after his sin with Bathsheba and pronounced God’s judgment (2 Samuel 12:1-15).

THIS IS A WOMAN: 5. Huldah

Role: A prophetess consulted during King Josiah’s reign.

JESUS AND THE SUBMISSION MINISTRIES:
Q. WHAT does it mean “the government shall REST UPON His shoulders?”
(C)2024 Taveau D’Arcy All copyrights reserved under international copyright laws

JESUS: “The government shall be upon His shoulders”

See”  MINISTRY AI AND I ” THE CRUSADES VS THE CHRIST **
Dec 20, 2024 or prior this on wwww.tclleader.com


NOTE Dr. D’Arcy intentionally describes the Christian ministry views of “raising a literal sword and commanding person that they MUST turn Christian or be punished (which is big history of THE INFAMOUS CRUSADES)

YET this sane article is different. It deals with inside of each and every Believer in Christ (more about this later as this just scratches the surface in this holiday season.

 (the calm article below describes the SPIRITUAL SELF GOVERNMENT that is supposed to be ON EVERY BELIEVERS “temperance, self governing, respecting, discerning, Abiding Relationships: Both in a church fellowship or in real life, home, family, marriage, business and Big Community

THIS IS A SELAH: I want to realize what that means. I submit that it does NOT imply a natural physical form of local, national strict government. **

**(yet is what Persons have believed during the many ages and have often taught that committed horrible, brutal atrocities, with “Christians carrying literal swords, violent weaponry.

I AM NOT FOR THAT!!

Resource:I attempted to uncover “DUBIOUS CHRISTIAN HISTORY ” THE CRUSADES VS THE CHRIST ” recently on Dec 20, 2024 www.ministryaiandai.com


The Current Christian Ministry Autonomous “Governing Authority” .…Merciless Woe

 

Realistically I have given so much grace (reason: most seem to have grown up poor and seemingly dysfunctional, mentored by similar OR got saved fresh on TV with no deep respect given, no true training)..,

….yet in the USA Study of primarily “charismatic governing authority” while I had been repeatedly also historically vast great deep grief.. due to it’s ministry playtime, penchant for cultish, sly, elite fault finding High Chief Pharisees, “nouveau riche ” ‘respecter of only pet persons, also heightened NEO Phariseeism**

**(which I also name modern mostly celebrity via media”Yeast of the Fadducees” )due to opulent kinds of celebrity, the Hollywood effect and the national WOE Isaiah 5:20 “preferring the evil to the good” due to the sins mentioned the. prophet Isaiah chapters 1-3 “little g gods” “false religion” and systematic “vanity” mentions the leader women,too. **

**NOTE Read big Bible Word from the Lord, to the collective leaders of God’s Hebrew people (not the false religions)

ISAIAH 1-10:27 “seems that the leaders of that time period possessed by those 3 chief sins were withstanding the Isaiah 10:27 “yoke breaking anointing’ that would make their necks so fat with His power, that no fierce Assyrian nation could take them over, possibly wipe out their culture)

YET, they were woefully blind (immune, indifferent, unwise and involved in their High Office Clubby, Well. Off, Overly Inbred, Quiet Indifferent, somewhat “MEAN” Subcultural AMBITION.. Playtime)


NOTE TO ALL (including this myself) It appears each of us, also them, may have a partial or a major national “The Isaiah 5:20 WOE” (many “calling evil good and good evil”)… which stems from Psalm 115:4-8 (just submitting quality (salty) food for thought)

ANTI FAMILY FEEL FALSE FAMILY SPIRITS
‘Evil Eye white witchcraft “seer divining”

And I would mention as’ false religions; (finding persons out of the crowd, never once getting to know, but then placing the name on a charismatic high horse accused Witch list”**

**(which is so immoral, strange and VERY MINISTRY ADVERSARIAL, UNCALLED FOR even EVIL , FALSE as well as subliminal subterfuge and also DANGEROUS “psychic indifferent’ , heartless, damnable objectifying …

Also a mere put down hypocritical, false controlling doctrinal PRETENSE… all of which is anti the cause of the Risen Christ…non servant “evil eye” divining”(errant “inner reading to determine a non LP boys. club female visitors “thirst, motives, secret private life/agenda(which I call “inner deep scanning” which is minus, joy, relationship,one to one in private, face to face ‘getting to really’ to relate (and is the I John 1:7)

This of course, is a spirit of false religion, to “govern” using opposing,vain, false impure (dishonest, psychic) AUTHORITY.. which is NOT JESUS CHRIST. It is a carnal, “twisted like wicker (meaning WICCAN) occult imperial power play.

TO BE CONTINUED: to lift this subject to a “higher more Jesus true meaning” I will out line to let the reader know that I am ‘safe” and not too strange…as this ministry has been discovering, dissecting and been rabidly OPPOSED by this all white MEAN STREAK.

So here the GOAL in stating this:

I want to make it plain, to all of these who are Big Into”being OVER ever one of us” in a strict, monitoring, busy body, nosey tattle tale Pharisee (East Coast shepherding doctrine which I named the WELP)

 

….and I am proving by the Bible how God’s genuine Governing Pure Authority is not ‘witch like” “abiding digging the gossip dirt” or authoritarian, fascist “submission” Christian ministry…

….. but rather IT ALL COMES THROUGH a (gentle, humble, kind, respectful, lowering of ones true self) into a private “submission “to Jesus Christ as each one’s personal Savior….makes Him their Lord of their Life. (basically, commit your way unto Him, and then proceeded seek to pray, follow and “do whatever He tells them to do or not do’

That is all..I have done this like a “type of Genesis 5 Enoch since age 18) (back then was “curious’ to see what would happen if I did that.

Yes, it’s been interesting, circuitous and markedly very different) in a mega unsafe spots “highly dangerous” to YOUR TRUE SELF , YOUR REPUTATION and what YOU feel that YOU now need or want or DISLIKE from being a PART of this KIND OF “Perceived /marketed as CHRISTIAN MINISTRY FELLOWSHIP

Yet, to Get Back on Track:….., who  then was used in the prior mentoring, ministry call, many spots in the leader life to “lay hands on” to “mentor” (the Role Model of the Apostle, Prophet, Pastor, The Christ) and after that WHO, WHAT, WHERE was  give to  them a, the ” “deposit of the Holy Ghost (Book of Acts chapter 2)” “the kind of emotional, spiritual, physical, relationship, ministerial ROCK from which THEY COME FROM (“hewn”)

And does it relate, know and understand the HIGH IMPORTANCE of these (as they and training about such) stem from a hidden invisible spot, way deep inside .meaning “the Book of Acts FRUITS and GIFTS (Please Paul’s Galatians 5:22-23) “fruits of the spirit” which are God granted great gracious and hallowed LOVING PURE real gifts…
…these are (the full list) ‘God’s love,joy, peace, patience, goodness, meekness and  ALL AUTHORITY and it must be included in the Bible teaching of ALL SPIRITUAL CALM RESPECTING, PERCEIVE TYPES OF “Moral, Spiritual,Family, Abiding Fellowship, Marital and Personal and all GOVERNING “TRUE” AUTHORITY )

Therefore,  if every born again Christ is aware, is train, is discipled, held accountable to “know, to model each with God’s help” then each congregation, gathering, and family, life in the big Christian “community ” in all races, sizes, attitudes and SELF GOVERN..

…..based on Bible relationship and Ephesians 4 Apostle Paul’s pure community about “real respect” “reading boundaries” “deferring to others” in mutual submission in the fear of the Lord (Paul Ephesians 5:21) and know, understand and cooperate (along with ministry applied teaching) Ephesians 4″


THE ABOVE: “IT”SANTI RELATIONSHIP SAFETY, UNTRUSTWORTHY, SELFISH NOT A BIT HEALTHY CHRISTLIKE, ABIDING JAMES 3:17 “PURE, RESPECTING AND SAFE”

The Rugged Cross: the symbol of the Big I (Human ego) fully crossed out”

Billy Graham Day recalled illustration 

“It is not I who lives, but Christ who lives in me”

PER APOSTLE PAUL

“EGO MEANS TO EDGE OUT GOD”
Modern  Day Online Anonymous

Therefore, I would say that IF this were a Perfect Saved  World, where ALL would accept Christ, and choose to do this, including the pastors, trainer, then over time…this would truly form a “calm, even keel, diverse and relationship and genuine, respecting, whole authority for society

ASIDE: Currently few fellowships, ministries or families can remain in personal self control, mutual ‘respect” and self government. I am always forced to self government by turning to the Loving Lord for His HELP, FRUIT and CONSCIENCE reminders.

HOWEVER, in light of the Bible being taken and made STONE THROWING, ACCUSING LEGALISTIC and like the CRUSADES (see my www.ministryaiandi.com major research article) then I need to plainly state to due black and white, etched in concrete, knee jerk TYPES..

..this person is NOT advocating a Christian compulsary ANYTHING nor a Christian Nationalism as the peer person is not a authoritarian “one size fits all ZEALOT”

Please let that be made well known.

SEE Paul’s church command to “work out your own salvation with fear and trembling” Philippians 2:12(which I ministry advocate) . Here is WHY: There is HEIGHTENED , PREJUDICED, JAUNDICED, HARDENED “MY WILL OR GET BACK BITTEN” set in..WAY
TOO MUCH DOGMA out there and in the collective minds of the many types of persons.

So I submit this all as a pondering Selah

(means: to pause and contemplate)

Sincerely
Taveau D’Arcy

LAST:  Perhaps I ought  to keep my own International Headquarters WELP LIST. “start a new website “The Enoch List” Prophetic Mouthpiece..hmm..because the Eyes of Ministry Levitical Patriarchy are upon us.  WITCH WATCHING, SPYING…ALL OF THE TIME..

PART 6 “MINISTRY AI AND I” FIRST CHURCH, SR OFFICE GENUINE SCANDALS
IDENTIFYING THE GOSSIP MINISTRIES
“CLICK BAIT” LEAKED INFORMATION Versus “REPROVING/EXPOSING” Ephesians 5:11

(C)2024 Taveau D’Arcy All copyrights reserved under international copyright laws, in conjunction with AI

 

It’s the “Opportunist” seeming… “Big Monetary “Methodology”

This is MY submitted authority, all 5 fold office, non biased Opinion

See Amplified Bible Ephesians 5:11

“Do not participate in the worthless and unproductive deeds of darkness, but instead expose them [by exemplifying personal integrity, moral courage, and godly character];”

Ephesians 5:11 in the English Standard Version (ESV) reads:

“Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them.”

Chat GPT AI says:

This verse calls Christians to avoid participating in sinful or harmful behaviors, especially those hidden in darkness or evil. Instead of joining in, believers are urged to expose those wrongdoings, bringing them into the light, where they can be seen and addressed. This exposure is not about revenge or harmful public spectacle, but about bringing truth to light for accountability, justice, and healing, with the goal of preventing further harm and promoting godly living.

 

Sister Taveau asks ChatGPT AI:

How should we evaluate modern methodology in addressing accusations, such as talking heads spilling private recordings, broadcasting over airwaves, blogs, and podcasts interviewing aggrieved parties who share private family matters with national and global audiences?

This approach often recruits others to voice opinions and “try” the accused—such as a mother accused of evil, domination, or committing authority sins—while making money off scandal reporting.

The Bible emphasizes proper authority and private confrontation as outlined in Galatians 6:1 and Matthew 18:15-16.

Is this public spectacle a personal attack rooted in grudges or unresolved issues, such as the death of a Christian senior office father, or is it about moral correction? How do we address the growing public opinions, accusations, and judgments against the female senior office governing leader by talking heads?

How can we approach these matters biblically, using methods that align with proper authority, morality, tone, and Jesus’ respect for individuals?

Taveau asks:

What might Christ do in a scandal-prone media age? Please include relevant Bible quotes in Aramaic, Hebrew, or Greek to train others on addressing gossip and honoring authority.

 

ChatGPT AI responds:

 

Ephesians 5:11 (KJV):
“And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness but rather reprove them.”

Sister Taveau asks:
Q.What does the word “reprove ” Mean in Greek, Hebrew, Aramaic’. Does it mean “expose to the public” to make money, to wound and get revenge?
ChatGPT states:

This verse calls believers to separate themselves from sinful practices and to expose or correct such works rather than being complicit or indifferent to them.

It emphasizes standing for righteousness while maintaining a Christlike approach.

The word “reprove” in Ephesians 5:11 is translated from the Greek word ἐλέγχω (elegchō). To understand its meaning more fully, let’s look at the original language context:

Greek:

  • ἐλέγχω (elegchō) means “to convict,” “to refute,” “to rebuke,” or “to expose.” It implies bringing light to something that is hidden, thereby confronting error or wrongdoing.
  • However, this does not necessarily imply a public exposure for the purpose of revenge, harm, or making money. It refers more to correction with the goal of repentance and restoration.
    • The focus of elegchō is on exposing the sin in order to correct it and lead the person to repentance, not to cause public shame or financial gain.

 

    • Matthew 18:15-16 offers insight into the biblical approach to addressing wrongdoing: confronting someone privately first, and only escalating publicly if they refuse to listen.

Hebrew & Aramaic Context:

  • While Ephesians was originally written in Greek, to understand its concept in a broader biblical context, we can refer to the Hebrew Bible or Aramaic words.

 

  • In the Hebrew Bible, words like “yākach” (יָכַח), which means “to correct” or “rebuke,” appear in verses like Proverbs 9:8 and Isaiah 1:18, implying correction in a constructive, restorative manner rather than exposing for harm.

 

  • Example in Hebrew:
    • Proverbs 9:8: “Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.”
    • This suggests that reproof is meant to correct and lead to positive change rather than being vindictive or for personal gain.

Biblical Approach to Reproof and Exposure:

  • Reproof, according to biblical understanding, is meant for restoration, not revenge. The goal is always to lead people to repentance and reconciliation, as we see in passages like Galatians 6:1 (“If a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness…”).
  • Ephesians 5:11 emphasizes the need to correct and expose wrongdoing, but this is not for personal gain or to wound others. Rather, it is about standing against sin and calling others to repentance, as Christ Himself did.

 

TD asks: ..What about a Christian Today:

MODERN AIRWAVES, LOCAL AND NATIONAL NEWSLETTERS:

Modern Application

Releasing private conversations, secret recordings..exposing  to the public, outing a minister on the global airwaves

  • Using private conversations or recordings to expose individuals for the sake of public shame or to profit financially would contradict the spirit of the Greek word elegchō. Instead of “exposing” for revenge or personal benefit, biblical reproof is about correcting with the aim of healing, not harming.

 

  • Ephesians 5:11 calls believers to expose sin, but the manner of doing so should always be rooted in love, humility, and a desire to restore, in contrast to public gossip, exploitation, or sensationalism.

Conclusion:

The word “reprove” in the biblical context does not mean “to expose for public shame or financial gain.” It is meant to call attention to sin in order to correct it, leading to restoration and reconciliation, as seen in the overall teachings of the Bible. The focus should always be on the spiritual goal of reproof—restoration, not on personal revenge or exploitation.

Taveau questions:
What about Christ and Judas? more.

Biblical Examination of Devaluing Life and Modern Tabloid Culture

TD inquires:
Would Jesus or the Disciples Retaliate or Gossip About Judas?

  1. Jesus’ Response to Judas’ Betrayal
    • Jesus knew of Judas’s betrayal yet treated him with love and dignity until the end. At the Last Supper, He offered Judas the bread (a gesture of friendship) even while identifying him as the betrayer (John 13:26-27).
    • Jesus did not publicly humiliate Judas or incite the other disciples against him. Instead, He fulfilled His mission, focusing on the Father’s will rather than retaliating.

    Lesson: Jesus exemplifies restraint and forgiveness, even when betrayed. He avoided escalating the situation or dehumanizing Judas, teaching us to rise above vengeance.

  2. The Disciples’ Reaction
    • The disciples did not launch a smear campaign against Judas after his betrayal. They mourned the loss of one who had been among them (Acts 1:16-20). They prayed and sought God’s guidance to replace Judas, focusing on advancing Christ’s mission rather than dwelling on past wrongs.

Apostle Paul’s View on Retaliation and Gossip

  1. Condemnation of Gossip and Slander
    • Paul strongly condemned gossip, slander, and divisiveness:
      • Ephesians 4:29: “Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.”
      • Romans 1:29-30: Paul lists whispering (gossip) and backbiting among sins that lead to unrighteousness.

    Implication: Paul would not have condoned a culture that profits from exposing others’ sins in a scandalous or exploitative manner.

  2. Call to Restoration and Humility
    • Paul emphasized confronting sin in a way that seeks restoration, not destruction:
      • Galatians 6:1: “Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.”
      • 2 Timothy 2:24-25: “And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, in meekness instructing those that oppose themselves.”

    Lesson: Even when addressing sin, Paul insisted on a spirit of gentleness and humility. He would reject any ministry culture that dehumanizes or objectifies individuals for personal or financial gain.

  3. Focus on the Mission, Not Retaliation
    • Paul faced betrayal and false accusations but stayed focused on his mission:
      • 2 Corinthians 4:8-9: “We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed.”
    • He trusted God to bring justice rather than seeking personal vengeance (Romans 12:19).

    Modern Application: A ministry culture focused on exposing others for profit distracts from God’s mission and dishonors His call to reconciliation.

Ephesians 5:11 in Context

  • “And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.”
    • This verse calls for exposing sin but in a biblical, redemptive way—not for sensationalism or gossip.
    • Greek Meaning:
      • “Reprove” (ἐλέγχω, elegcho): To correct, convince, or bring to light with the aim of producing repentance.
      • It does not imply public humiliation or exploitation for personal gain.

    Lesson: Exposing sin must be done with care, seeking to lead others to repentance and salvation rather than creating a spectacle.

Tabloid Culture vs. Biblical Ethics

  • Tabloid Culture:
    • Profits from scandal, exploits human failings, and dehumanizes people.
    • Encourages gossip and judgment rather than resolution and grace.
  • Biblical Ethics:
    • Values every human life as created in God’s image (Genesis 1:27).
    • Calls for confronting sin privately and lovingly (Matthew 18:15-17).
    • Seeks restoration and reconciliation, not public shaming (Galatians 6:1).

Conclusion: What Might Christ and Paul Say Today?

  1. Christ’s Example: Jesus would reject modern tabloid culture, which objectifies and devalues individuals for personal gain. Instead, He would call people to repentance, restoration, and the dignity of every person.

 

  1. Paul’s Teachings: Paul would condemn any ministry that profits from gossip and scandal, emphasizing humility, restoration, and a focus on the gospel.
  3. Call to Action: Christians are called to reflect Christ’s love and integrity, avoiding participation in or support of exploitative, gossip-driven cultures. Instead, they should promote truth, justice, and grace in every interaction.
 

New Testament References and Parallels

1. Jesus’ Trial and Silence

  • Matthew 26:63: Jesus remained silent when accused before the Sanhedrin.
  • Matthew 27:12-14: Before Pilate, He “answered him to never a word.”
    These actions fulfilled Isaiah’s prophecy. His silence was a testament to His submission to God’s will and His role as the sacrificial lamb.

2. Paul’s Teachings

  • Philippians 2:5-8: Paul describes Jesus as one who “humbled himself and became obedient to death—even death on a cross!” This reflects the same humility and submission seen in Isaiah 53.

 

  • Romans 8:36: Paul references believers as “sheep to be slaughtered,” connecting their suffering to Christ’s ultimate example of silent submission.

3. First Church Context

  • Early Christians viewed Christ’s silence as a model of meekness and non-retaliation during persecution.

 

  • 1 Peter 2:23: “When they hurled their insults at him, he did not retaliate; when he suffered, he made no threats. Instead, he entrusted himself to him who judges justly.”
Sister Taveau asks:

 

With all of that Ephesians 5:11 defined:

Q. What if a ministry person or relative, someone’s pastor, father sexually assaulted someone. Even a child?

 

ChatGPT responded:

The Bible addresses sin, accountability, and justice with clear principles that apply to all situations, including grievous acts like sexual assault, even within the context of ministry or family. Below are key considerations, framed within scripture and Christian ethics:

 

1. God’s Stance on Sin and Justice

  • Sexual assault is a grievous sin: The Bible unequivocally condemns such actions. Scriptures like Deuteronomy 22:25-27 outline severe consequences for those who commit such acts, recognizing the dignity and worth of the victim.

 

  • Psalm 11:5: “The Lord examines the righteous, but the wicked, those who love violence, he hates with a passion.” This reflects God’s abhorrence of any form of violence, including sexual violence.

 

  • Luke 17:2: Jesus warns against harming children, saying, “It would be better for them to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around their neck than to cause one of these little ones to stumble.”

God’s justice demands accountability, both spiritually and legally.

 

2. Accountability and Consequences

For the Perpetrator:

  • Exposure and Justice: The Bible does not advocate covering up sin but bringing it into the light.
  • Ephesians 5:11: “Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.”
  • Legal Accountability: Romans 13:1-4 reminds believers to submit to governing authorities, who are “God’s servants for good,” to punish wrongdoers. This means reporting the crime to legal authorities is a biblical and ethical responsibility.

 

  • Church Discipline: 1 Timothy 5:20 instructs that those who sin, especially leaders, should be rebuked publicly so others may fear. A ministry leader who commits such a crime must be removed from leadership.

For the Victim:

 

  • Protection and Support: The church and family must ensure the victim is safe, believed, and supported. This reflects Christ’s heart for the vulnerable (Matthew 18:10-14).
  • Healing and Restoration: While justice is pursued, the church must also provide pastoral care, counseling, and ongoing spiritual support to help the victim heal.

3. When the Perpetrator is a Ministry Leader or Relative

The Danger of Cover-Ups:

  • Covering up such crimes damages the witness of the church and compounds the harm to the victim. Proverbs 17:15: “Acquitting the guilty and condemning the innocent—both are detestable to the Lord.”
  • Examples of unaddressed sin in the Bible, such as in Eli’s household (1 Samuel 3:13), led to God’s judgment because Eli failed to restrain his sons.

Repentance and Restoration:

  • True repentance involves confession (1 John 1:9), accepting consequences, and seeking forgiveness from God and those harmed. However, repentance does not negate legal accountability or disqualify the perpetrator from certain roles, especially leadership.

4. Protecting the Vulnerable

The church and families are called to protect the vulnerable proactively:

  • Implement Safeguards: Churches must have policies to prevent abuse, including background checks, oversight, and training.

 

  • Be Watchful: Leaders must remain vigilant, following Matthew 7:15-20‘s instruction to discern fruit in people’s lives.

 

  • Advocate for the Oppressed: Isaiah 1:17: “Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed.”

 

5. Ministering to All Involved

While pursuing justice, it’s also necessary to offer ministry:

  • To the Victim: Prioritize their safety, healing, and restoration.

 

  • To the Perpetrator (if repentant): Offer spiritual guidance while supporting legal and church-imposed consequences.

 

  • To the Community: Address the broader impact of the situation with honesty, humility, and a commitment to transparency.

Conclusion

Sexual assault, especially by a ministry leader or relative, is a grievous sin with profound spiritual, emotional, and legal consequences. The church and family must prioritize justice, protect the victim, and hold the perpetrator accountable without compromise. In doing so, they reflect God’s character: a God of mercy, justice, and restoration.

Taveau repeats:

 

Please elaborate more; what if a ministry person, or relative or boss sexually assaults someone, especially  a child.
ChatGPT said:

Sexual assault, especially involving children, is a grievous sin and crime that demands immediate and uncompromising action.

The Bible, while not addressing modern laws directly, provides clear principles on justice, accountability, and protecting the vulnerable. Below is a Christian response to such a situation:

1. Acknowledge the Severity of the Sin

The Bible condemns sexual sin, especially those that harm others, as deeply offensive to God and a violation of human dignity:

  • Matthew 18:6: Jesus said, “If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.”
  • 1 Corinthians 6:18: Sexual sin is unique because it is a sin against the body, which is the temple of the Holy Spirit.

Sexual assault, particularly against a child, is both a moral and legal violation that must not be ignored or minimized.

2. Immediate Steps for Justice

Report the Crime

  • Romans 13:1-4 teaches that governing authorities are God’s instruments to punish wrongdoing. Reporting the crime to the police is not only a legal requirement but a biblical mandate to ensure justice is served.
  • The church or family must not attempt to handle this matter internally or shield the perpetrator. Doing so perpetuates injustice and further harms the victim.

Protect the Victim

 

  • Immediate action must be taken to ensure the safety of the victim and other vulnerable individuals.
  • The church or family must prioritize the victim’s well-being by removing the perpetrator from any position of influence and ensuring no further contact with the victim.

3. Accountability for the Perpetrator

Spiritual Consequences

 

  • Galatians 6:7: “Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.” The perpetrator must face the consequences of their actions, both spiritually and legally.
  • True repentance involves confession of sin (1 John 1:9) and accepting all earthly consequences without resistance.

Removal from Ministry

  • If the perpetrator is in ministry, they must be removed immediately from their position of leadership. 1 Timothy 3:2 states that a leader must be “above reproach.” Such a violation disqualifies them from leadership.

Legal Consequences

  • Submission to legal authorities is a biblical requirement. This ensures justice for the victim and demonstrates integrity and transparency.

4. Support for the Victim

Healing and Restoration

  • The victim needs to be believed, supported, and cared for spiritually, emotionally, and practically.

 

  • Professional counseling and pastoral care should be made available. Psalm 34:18 assures, “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”

Church and Community Role

  • The church or family must publicly condemn the act to affirm the victim’s dignity and the community’s commitment to justice. This avoids any perception of complicity or indifference.

5. A Warning Against Cover-Ups

Biblical Examples

 

  • Eli’s failure: In 1 Samuel 2:22-25, Eli’s refusal to address his sons’ sinful behavior brought God’s judgment on his family.
  • Proverbs 17:15: “Acquitting the guilty and condemning the innocent—both are detestable to the Lord.” Covering up sin invites God’s judgment and damages the credibility of the church or family.

Consequences of Silence

Hiding or minimizing the offense leads to greater harm for the victim, enables the perpetrator to continue harming others, and damages the reputation of Christ’s body.

6. Ministering to All Involved

The Victim

The victim must be treated with compassion, dignity, and priority. The church should embody Christ’s love by walking with them through the healing process.

The Perpetrator

While legal justice is pursued, spiritual ministry to the perpetrator can occur if they show genuine repentance. However, this does not absolve them of legal consequences.

The Community

The church or family must address the situation transparently, emphasizing justice and accountability, while also teaching about sin, repentance, and God’s justice.

7. Conclusion

Sexual assault by a ministry leader or family member is a severe violation of God’s law and human dignity. The response must prioritize justice, protection of the vulnerable, and restoration for the victim. Accountability, both spiritual and legal, is essential for the perpetrator. The church or family must model integrity, demonstrating God’s heart for justice, truth, and mercy.

To report, to give a heads up, alert and to warn (good pleasing motives) but from afar, more objectively, to the common stranger…a lot of “appears’ to be superior moralistic them…” enjoying” spreading the Glad Gossip ..self important, self in the right, “condescending” (but haven’t we all meaning this myself” (it is the nature of the DAY ..but no excuses)
What is your lesson, Chat GPT AI, in the middle of all of this massive confusion
ChatGPT deeply stated:

Your question raises profound concerns about the boundaries between biblical accountability and modern practices of exposing scandals, particularly within Christian ministries.

 

Here’s a detailed exploration of Ephesians 5:11, related biblical principles, and the spiritual dangers of turning accountability into public mockery or gossip:

 

1. Ephesians 5:11 in Context

  • “Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.”
    This verse calls Christians to avoid participating in sin and to bring sinful deeds into the light. However, the purpose of exposing sin is repentance, healing, and restoration, not revenge, mockery, or personal gain.
  • Biblical Context: Paul was urging the Ephesian church to live as children of light (Ephesians 5:8-10). Exposing sin was to maintain the holiness of the church, not to entertain or scandalize.

2. Biblical Accountability vs. Revenge and Gossip

Proper Biblical Accountability:

  • Matthew 18:15-17: Jesus outlines a private, step-by-step process for addressing sin within the church:

 

    1. Go directly to the individual.
    2. If they do not listen, involve a few witnesses.
    3. Only if they still refuse to repent, bring it to the church.
    4. (TD aside: NOT TO THE NON CHRISTIAN SOCIETY IN TABLOID MINISTRY)
  • Purpose: The goal is repentance and reconciliation, not public shaming.

Improper Exposure:

  • Using someone’s sin as an opportunity to mock, hurt, or destroy their ministry or business goes against biblical teaching.
  • Proverbs 17:9: “Whoever would foster love covers over an offense, but whoever repeats the matter separates close friends.”
  • Proverbs 26:22: “The words of a gossip are like choice morsels; they go down to the inmost parts.” Gossip and slander harm relationships and the body of Christ.

3. Modern Practices of Public Exposures (YouTube, TikTok, Podcasts)

Potentially Legitimate:

 

  • Warning the Church: It is sometimes necessary to warn others about false teaching or abusive behavior in leadership (e.g., Paul’s warnings about Alexander in 2 Timothy 4:14-15).
  • Protecting the Vulnerable: If a ministry leader is actively causing harm and refuses to repent, making the issue public may protect others from falling victim to their actions.

Crossing the Line:

  • Profit from Scandal: Monetizing videos, podcasts, or posts about scandals can reflect a heart that is more interested in personal gain than in truth or reconciliation (1 Timothy 6:10).
  • Enjoying the Gossip: Spreading information with a spirit of delight in someone else’s downfall is sinful.
    • James 3:5-6: “The tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark.” Gossip and slander can devastate ministries and reputations.
    • Galatians 6:1: “Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently.”

4. Lessons and Warnings for Today

Heart Check for the Exposer

  • Motivation: Are you exposing sin out of love for truth and a desire for repentance, or out of pride, revenge, or a desire for attention?
  • Accountability: Before exposing someone publicly, ask: Have I followed the biblical process (Matthew 18:15-17)? Have I sought wise counsel?

Dangers of Gossiping Culture

  • Damage to the Church’s Witness: Public exposure of scandals can make the church appear divided and hypocritical. While truth must prevail, the manner in which it is exposed matters deeply.

 

  • Turning Accountability into Entertainment: Constantly consuming or creating scandal-focused content can desensitize believers to the seriousness of sin and foster a culture of mockery.

God’s Judgment on Gossip and Pride

  • Romans 14:10-12: “You, then, why do you judge your brother or sister? Or why do you treat them with contempt? For we will all stand before God’s judgment seat.”
  • Matthew 7:1-5: Before addressing someone else’s sin, examine your own heart and motives.

5. A Balanced Approach

  • Speak the Truth in Love (Ephesians 4:15): If exposing sin is necessary, do so humbly and with the aim of repentance and restoration.
  • Avoid the Love of Drama: Refrain from contributing to gossip, even under the guise of “warning” others, unless the warning is truly needed to protect others.
  • Focus on Christ’s Glory: Always prioritize glorifying Christ and building up the church over tearing others down.

Conclusion

Exposing sin is a serious matter that must align with biblical principles. While there may be a place for warning others about harmful behavior, modern practices of monetizing scandals, spreading gossip, and enjoying others’ failures are deeply unbiblical. The goal must always be restoration, truth, and protection, not mockery, revenge, or personal gain. Ephesians 5:11 calls us to walk as children of light, reflecting Christ’s character in how we address sin in the church.

 
Apostle Taveau wants to know:
What about private family, exposing a well known mother, father and scandal, “uncovering their (accused ) SIN…in modern day Community? (Ephesians 4 yet also Ephesians 5:11)
ChatGPT said:

This situation raises significant ethical, biblical, and relational concerns, especially regarding privacy, trust, and the proper handling of sensitive matters. Let’s carefully assess the elements involved:

1. Biblical Perspective on Family and Confidentiality

Honoring Parents

  • Exodus 20:12: “Honor your father and your mother.” Honoring doesn’t mean blind agreement but maintaining respect, even in disagreement. Recording and broadcasting private conversations with the intent to harm or shame the mother violates this principle.

Handling Disputes Privately

  • Matthew 18:15-17: Disputes should be handled one-on-one or with trusted witnesses, and only escalated to a wider audience when reconciliation efforts fail. Broadcasting the matter on public platforms bypasses this biblical process.
  • Proverbs 11:13: “A gossip betrays a confidence, but a trustworthy person keeps a secret.” Publicizing private discussions is a breach of trust.

2. Recording and Sharing Private Conversations

Violation of Trust

Recording a conversation without consent, especially with the intent to expose or harm, is ethically and relationally damaging. It undermines the possibility of honest communication in the future.

  • Proverbs 6:16-19: God detests actions that sow discord among others. Sharing private recordings often leads to division, not resolution.

Legal and Moral Concerns

Depending on the jurisdiction, recording conversations without consent may also be illegal. Beyond legality, it violates the moral principle of treating others as you would want to be treated (Luke 6:31).

3. Broadcasting the Conflict Publicly

Harm to Reputations

Publicizing private disputes can harm all parties involved, including the mother, the ministry, and even the family itself. This approach can:

  • Tarnish the ministry’s reputation and its ability to serve others.
  • Damage the credibility of the son and his wife, as their motives may appear vindictive.

Motive Matters

  • James 4:1: “What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you?”
  • Before going public, the son and wife must examine their motives: Is this about seeking justice or venting frustration and gaining sympathy?

4. The Role of the Family Ministry Friend

The family ministry friend, as a trusted mediator, has a responsibility to:

  • Advocate for truth and reconciliation, not division.
  • Uphold confidentiality and not take sides in a way that exacerbates the conflict.

If the mediator becomes complicit in the public exposure, they too violate biblical principles of peacemaking (Matthew 5:9).

5. Lessons and Recommendations

For the Son and Wife

  • Seek Reconciliation: Instead of pursuing public vindication, work towards resolving the issues privately with the mother.
  • Forgive and Let Go: Even if the meeting didn’t go as planned, harboring bitterness and seeking revenge through public exposure will only deepen the wounds (Ephesians 4:31-32).
  • Consider the Consequences: Publicizing private disputes can lead to long-term damage to relationships and reputations. It may also alienate others who see this approach as divisive.

For the Mother and Ministry

  • Reflect and Pray: Consider whether anything said during the meeting may have unintentionally caused offense or misunderstanding.
  • Stay Humble: Even respected leaders should remain open to correction and willing to seek peace.

For the Church or Community

  • Support Without Taking Sides: Encourage both parties to seek reconciliation rather than fueling the conflict.
  • Focus on Restoration: Help the family resolve their issues in a way that honors God and preserves relationships.

6. Conclusion

While the son and wife may feel justified in their frustrations, taking the conflict public through recordings and interviews is neither biblical nor productive. The Bible calls us to handle disputes with humility, discretion, and a focus on reconciliation. Public exposure often leads to greater harm, division, and loss of trust. Both sides should prioritize healing and restoration over vindication or revenge, seeking God’s wisdom and guidance throughout the process.

ChatGPT said:

This scenario highlights a deeply troubling dynamic of judgment, gossip, and public ridicule that is both unbiblical and harmful to all involved. Here is an assessment of the situation, incorporating biblical principles and practical guidance:

1. Biblical Principles on Judgment and Gossip

Judging Without Understanding

  • Matthew 7:1-5: Jesus warns against judging others without self-reflection. Those who criticize the mother without having lived her challenges or understood her calling are acting in pride, not humility.

 

  • James 4:11-12: “Do not speak evil against one another, brothers. The one who speaks against a brother or judges his brother speaks evil against the law and judges the law.”

Gossip and Slander

  • Proverbs 16:28: “A perverse person stirs up conflict, and a gossip separates close friends.” Publicly spreading rumors and accusations harms the church and undermines the unity of the Body of Christ.

 

  • Ephesians 4:29: Speech should be used to build others up, not tear them down. The deliberate circulation of accusations and rumors does not align with this command.

2. Motives Behind Criticism and Public Accusations

Lack of Maturity and Experience

Younger critics, lacking the wisdom and humility gained through experience, often misjudge or underestimate the weight of leadership responsibility. Their actions reveal:

  • Immaturity: Instead of seeking understanding, they resort to accusations.
  • Pride: Criticizing someone without proper context or evidence demonstrates a lack of reverence for the office or the person.

Monetizing Gossip

When critics or sympathizers monetize accusations (e.g., through media), it shifts from a pursuit of justice to exploiting the situation for personal gain.

  • 1 Timothy 6:10: “For the love of money is the root of all evil.” Using accusations for profit reveals misplaced priorities and an unbiblical approach.
  • Proverbs 11:1: God detests dishonest scales—this applies to dishonesty in motives as well.

3. The Impact of Such Actions

On the Recognized, Long Respected, Sr Ministry Office Mother

  • The repeated attacks, false accusations, and public ridicule cause undue stress and damage her reputation.
  • These actions create barriers to her ministry’s effectiveness, turning potential followers or supporters away from the message of Christ.

On the Accusers

  • Those engaging in gossip, judgment, and public defamation sow discord in the Body of Christ, which is condemned by God (Proverbs 6:16-19).
  • They risk being judged by the same harsh standards they impose on others (Matthew 7:2).

On the Church Community

  • Such public disputes bring division and tarnish the witness of the church. Non-believers may see this behavior as hypocrisy, damaging the credibility of the gospel.

4. Proper Biblical Protocol

For Handling Accusations

  • Matthew 18:15-17: Disputes should first be addressed privately, then with witnesses, and finally with the church if unresolved. Public exposure should only occur after biblical steps have been faithfully followed.
  • Galatians 6:1: “If someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently.” The goal should always be restoration, not condemnation or humiliation.

On Respecting Authority

  • Romans 13:1-2: All authority is established by God, and those who oppose it risk opposing God’s plan.
  • 1 Timothy 5:19-20: Accusations against a leader must not be entertained unless supported by multiple credible witnesses.

5. Lessons and Recommendations

For the Ministry Mother

  • Stay Focused on God’s Call: Opposition often accompanies great callings. Seek God for strength and wisdom (Isaiah 41:10).
  • Respond with Grace: Avoid retaliating or defending yourself publicly in a way that could escalate the situation (1 Peter 3:9).

For the Critics and Sympathizers

  • Repent of Gossip and Judgment: Acknowledge the harm caused and seek forgiveness from God and those affected.
  • Seek Understanding: Before criticizing, take time to understand the mother’s perspective and the demands of her calling.
  • Refrain from Public Defamation: Handle disputes privately, as commanded in Scripture.

For the Church Community

  • Discern the Truth: Avoid taking sides without understanding the full context.
  • Promote Unity: Encourage reconciliation and discourage gossip or public disputes.

 

6. Conclusion

The Bible consistently calls for unity, humility, and respect within the Body of Christ. Publicly attacking a leader, especially for profit or revenge, contradicts these principles and harms everyone involved. All parties should seek reconciliation, guided by Scripture, with the ultimate goal of restoring relationships and preserving the integrity of the ministry.

CHRIST EACH OF OUR OWN PERSONAL EXAMPLE
Taveau said:
Jesus undue abnormal suffering, deep injustice, even to a personal life long friend, family member, his own reputation Discuss in bible terms Jesus own personal (potential) reaction in light of the modern days
ChatGPT said:

Jesus faced immense suffering, deep injustice, betrayal by close companions, and the tarnishing of His reputation. Examining His reactions through biblical narratives offers profound lessons for dealing with similar experiences in modern contexts. Here is a discussion of Jesus’ responses in biblical terms and their relevance today:

1. Jesus and Undue Suffering

Biblical Context

  • Isaiah 53:3-7: Jesus is described as “a man of sorrows, acquainted with grief.” He bore suffering without complaint, as seen in His silence before His accusers: “He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth” (Isaiah 53:7).
  • John 19:1-3: He endured humiliation and physical abuse—mocked, flogged, and crowned with thorns—yet He did not retaliate.

Potential Reactions in Modern Terms

  • Jesus could have used divine power to vindicate Himself or punish His enemies, but He chose submission to the Father’s will (Matthew 26:53).

 

  • Modern parallels: In situations of injustice or slander, the temptation is to fight back, expose the offender, or seek revenge. Jesus, however, modeled trust in God’s justice.

2. Jesus and Betrayal by a Close Companion

Biblical Context

  • Matthew 26:14-16, 47-50: Judas Iscariot, one of Jesus’ twelve disciples, betrayed Him for 30 pieces of silver. Despite knowing Judas’ intentions, Jesus greeted him with the words, “Friend, do what you came to do” (Matthew 26:50).
  • Luke 22:61-62: Peter, a trusted disciple, denied Jesus three times. While Jesus did not immediately rebuke Peter, His look of sorrow prompted Peter’s repentance.

Potential Reactions in Modern Terms

  • Betrayal often incites anger or a desire for retribution. Jesus instead extended grace and left room for repentance.

 

  • Modern parallels: When betrayed, it can feel natural to cut ties or publicly expose the betrayer. Jesus teaches us to confront the wrongdoer with truth but leave judgment to God.

3. Jesus and False Accusations

Biblical Context

  • Matthew 26:59-61: During His trial, false witnesses accused Jesus of claiming He would destroy the temple. He did not defend Himself against their lies.
  • Luke 23:2: He was falsely accused of inciting rebellion against Rome, though He explicitly taught submission to governing authorities (Luke 20:25).

Potential Reactions in Modern Terms

  • Jesus chose silence, trusting in God’s justice. “For this is commendable, if because of conscience toward God one endures grief, suffering wrongfully” (1 Peter 2:19).
  • Modern parallels: Social media often amplifies false accusations, leading to public outrage. Jesus’ example shows the power of restraint and faith in God’s vindication.

4. Jesus and Family Tensions

Biblical Context

  • Mark 3:21, 31-35: Jesus’ own family thought He was out of His mind and tried to intervene in His ministry. He responded by affirming His spiritual family as those who do the will of God.
  • John 7:3-5: His brothers mocked Him, not believing in His mission.

Potential Reactions in Modern Terms

  • Jesus did not abandon His mission to appease His family but continued to act in love and obedience to God’s will.
  • Modern parallels: Family disputes, especially over faith or leadership roles, can lead to lasting rifts. Jesus balanced commitment to God’s purpose with compassion for His family.

5. Jesus’ Reputation Attacked

Biblical Context

  • Matthew 11:19: Jesus was called a glutton, a drunkard, and a friend of sinners. His association with tax collectors and outcasts led to scorn.
  • John 8:41, 48: His enemies accused Him of being illegitimate and demon-possessed.

Potential Reactions in Modern Terms

  • Jesus did not allow false accusations to deter His mission. He relied on His integrity and the truth of His actions to defend Him: “Wisdom is justified by her deeds” (Matthew 11:19).
  • Modern parallels: Slander, especially in public ministry, can be devastating. Jesus’ approach teaches leaders to focus on their calling rather than public approval.

6. Lessons from Jesus for Modern Challenges

Faith in God’s Justice

  • Romans 12:19: “Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, ‘Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,’ says the Lord.”
  • Jesus entrusted His case to God, knowing divine justice would prevail.

Commitment to Truth and Purpose

  • John 18:37: Jesus declared, “For this purpose I was born…to bear witness to the truth.” Despite opposition, He stayed true to His mission.
  • Modern lesson: Focus on God’s purpose rather than public opinion or personal vindication.

Responding with Love and Forgiveness

  • Luke 23:34: From the cross, Jesus prayed, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” He demonstrated love even for His enemies.
  • Modern lesson: Choose forgiveness over resentment to reflect Christ’s character.

Setting an Example for Suffering Well

  • 1 Peter 2:21-23: Jesus left us an example of enduring unjust suffering: “When He was reviled, He did not revile in return; when He suffered, He did not threaten, but committed Himself to Him who judges righteously.”

Conclusion

 

 false accusations, and reputation attacks, Jesus modeled humility, grace, and unwavering trust in God’s plan. Modern-day believers, especially those in leadership, can draw strength from His example to endure trials with dignity and faith, prioritizing obedience to God over seeking human approval or revenge.

ChatGPT

Jesus, while characterized by immense humility, mercy, and forgiveness, also demonstrated moments of righteous anger, confrontation, and decisive action when necessary. His responses were always rooted in His unwavering commitment to truth, justice, and His Father’s will. Reflecting on how Jesus might react to a scenario of sexual abuse involving a family member or someone He knew requires considering both His merciful and confrontational aspects as revealed in Scripture.

1. The Confrontational Jesus: Times He Rose Up and Acted Forcefully

Cleansing the Temple (John 2:13-17, Matthew 21:12-13)

  • Context: Jesus drove out money changers and merchants from the temple, accusing them of turning His Father’s house into a den of thieves.

 

  • Action: He made a whip of cords, overturned tables, and publicly rebuked them. This was an act of zeal for God’s house and a stand against corruption and exploitation.

Denouncing Hypocrisy (Matthew 23:13-36)

 

  • Context: Jesus pronounced “woes” on the Pharisees and scribes, condemning their hypocrisy, legalism, and oppression of others.
  • Action: He openly exposed their sins, calling them “blind guides,” “whitewashed tombs,” and “serpents.” His rebuke was direct, public, and unapologetic.

 

Defending the Vulnerable (John 8:3-11)

 

  • Context: A woman caught in adultery was brought to Jesus by religious leaders seeking to trap Him.
  • Action: Jesus confronted their hypocrisy by challenging them: “He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.” He protected the woman while calling her to repentance.

 

Rebuking Peter (Matthew 16:23)

  • Context: When Peter tried to dissuade Jesus from going to the cross, Jesus rebuked him sharply: “Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me.”
  • Action: Jesus prioritized obedience to God’s mission over personal relationships, even rebuking a close disciple when necessary.

2. Jesus’ Response to Modern Injustice

If faced with a case of sexual abuse, particularly involving a vulnerable individual such as a child, Jesus’ response would likely reflect a balance of:

A. Confronting the Wrongdoer

  • Biblical Basis: Jesus stood against exploitation, injustice, and the mistreatment of others, especially the vulnerable.
    • “Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones” (Matthew 18:10).
    • “It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones” (Luke 17:2).
  • Action Today: Jesus would confront the abuser directly, exposing their sin and calling them to repentance. His approach would prioritize protecting the victim and seeking justice.

B. Supporting the Victim

  • Biblical Basis: Jesus consistently showed compassion for the brokenhearted and those wronged.
    • “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28).
    • “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me… to heal the brokenhearted” (Luke 4:18).
  • Action Today: Jesus would provide emotional, spiritual, and perhaps even physical care for the victim, ensuring their restoration and healing.

 

C. Addressing Legal and Social Justice

  • Biblical Basis: While Jesus emphasized forgiveness, He did not excuse sin. He upheld the law’s moral principles and respected governing authorities when appropriate (Romans 13:1-4).
    • “Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s” (Matthew 22:21).
  • Action Today: Jesus might advocate for legal consequences for the offender, working within systems of justice to protect society and prevent further harm.

3. Balancing Forgiveness and Justice

Jesus’ Teachings on Forgiveness

  • Jesus taught the importance of forgiving others: “Forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors” (Matthew 6:12). However, forgiveness does not negate accountability.
  • Example: In John 8, Jesus forgave the adulterous woman but commanded her to “go, and sin no more.” Forgiveness is offered, but change is required.

Modern Application

  • Forgiveness for the offender does not mean ignoring their actions or allowing them to escape justice. It means releasing personal bitterness while still seeking what is right and just.

 

4. Lessons from Jesus for Today

  • Addressing Sin Directly: Jesus never shied away from confronting wrongdoing. When abuse occurs, it must be addressed openly and honestly, following proper protocols.
  • Protecting the Innocent: Jesus prioritized the well-being of the vulnerable, emphasizing their importance in God’s kingdom. Victims of abuse should be cared for with the utmost compassion.
  • Ensuring Justice: Jesus respected the law when it aligned with God’s principles. Abusers should face legal consequences to protect others and uphold justice.

5. Conclusion

If faced with a situation of sexual abuse involving a family member or acquaintance, Jesus would confront the sin, protect the victim, and ensure justice was served, all while extending the possibility of redemption to the wrongdoer. His actions would be driven by love for the innocent, a commitment to righteousness, and a desire for repentance and restoration.

This balance between grace and truth is what Jesus modeled throughout His ministry and is the example for Christians to follow in similar circumstances today.

Sincerely, Taveau D’Arcy https://www.taveauteachingcenter.info

Here’s a detailed book report on 2 Timothy using the King James Version (KJV), with backstory, history, themes, and key doctrinal points:

Background and Authorship

2 Timothy is traditionally understood to be the final letter written by the Apostle Paul, penned around A.D. 67 during his second imprisonment in Rome. The letter is addressed to Timothy, Paul’s close protégé and a young pastor. Paul was nearing the end of his life, which is evident from the somber and reflective tone of this letter, as he imparts final instructions and encouragement to Timothy. Unlike 1 Timothy, which contains more structured church guidance, 2 Timothy is highly personal and heartfelt.

Paul wrote this epistle from a Roman prison cell, awaiting execution under Emperor Nero’s rule. During this time, the persecution of Christians had intensified, especially in Rome, and Paul himself faced severe hardship and abandonment by many of his followers. This context is crucial in understanding the urgency and intimacy of Paul’s advice to Timothy.

Historical and Cultural Context

In the first century, early Christians were under immense pressure. Timothy pastored in Ephesus, a prominent city filled with diverse cultures and religions, where Christians often faced both social and governmental persecution. Timothy faced challenges from false teachers, divisions in the church, and the need to maintain doctrinal purity.

Key Themes and Structure of 2 Timothy

2 Timothy is a blend of personal farewell and practical instruction. The letter is structured as follows:

Chapter 1: Encouragement to Remain Faithful
Paul encourages Timothy to be bold and unashamed of the gospel. He reminds Timothy of his sincere faith and spiritual heritage from his grandmother Lois and mother Eunice.

Chapter 2: A Call to Endure Hardship
Paul exhorts Timothy to be like a good soldier, a disciplined athlete, and a hardworking farmer, each of whom exemplifies endurance, discipline, and patience. He underscores the necessity of staying steadfast in ministry.

Chapter 3: Warning about Last Days
Paul describes the moral decay that will characterize the “last days,” listing traits such as selfishness, pride, and disobedience. He reminds Timothy to hold fast to the teachings of Scripture as a safeguard against these challenges.

Chapter 4: Final Charge and Personal Farewell
In his closing words, Paul gives a solemn charge to Timothy to “preach the word” with urgency. He anticipates his death but expresses confidence in his faith and commitment, famously stating, “I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith” (2 Timothy 4:7).

Important Doctrinal Points

1. The Role of Scripture (2 Timothy 3:16-17)

One of the most foundational statements in the New Testament about Scripture is found in 2 Timothy 3:16, where Paul writes, “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.” In Greek, the phrase “inspiration of God” is rendered as theopneustos, meaning “God-breathed.” This emphasizes that Scripture is divinely inspired and is the primary tool for teaching and guiding the church.

2. The Power of Endurance (2 Timothy 2:3-6)

Paul uses metaphors of a soldier, athlete, and farmer to teach about perseverance and dedication in ministry. Each of these metaphors stresses discipline, a common theme throughout Paul’s letters, and reflect the Greek cultural value of self-control and endurance.

3. The Last Days and Godliness (2 Timothy 3:1-5)

Paul warns Timothy about the moral corruption that will increase in the last days. He lists characteristics of people during these times, such as being “lovers of their own selves” and “having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof.” This description mirrors cultural and religious hypocrisy, as many claim outward spirituality without genuine transformation.

The phrase “form of godliness” can be compared with eusebeia in Greek, meaning piety or reverence. However, Paul’s warning is about empty piety, which is devoid of the power and presence of God’s Spirit.

4. Endurance in Suffering (2 Timothy 1:8, 2:9, 4:5)

Paul is forthright about the suffering that comes with ministry. In 2 Timothy 1:8, he advises Timothy not to be ashamed of “the testimony of our Lord,” nor of Paul’s imprisonment. Paul’s openness about his suffering, while encouraging Timothy to endure, reflects a deeply rooted belief that suffering is a part of the Christian journey and a means to share in Christ’s own sufferings.

The Greek word kakopatheo, translated as “endure afflictions,” reflects an enduring hardship, which was a theme in many of Paul’s writings, showing that the calling to ministry is inherently sacrificial.

5. Paul’s Farewell and Hope of Reward (2 Timothy 4:6-8)

As Paul reflects on his life, he states he has “fought a good fight” and anticipates the “crown of righteousness” awaiting him. The term for “crown” here is stephanos, typically given to victors in athletic competitions, symbolizing Paul’s view of the Christian life as a race or struggle toward victory.

Paul’s assurance of this reward isn’t based on personal achievement but on his unwavering faith in Christ’s promise. This passage reminds believers that God’s rewards are for those who are faithful, not necessarily successful by worldly standards.

Key Greek and Hebrew Terms

Scripture (2 Timothy 3:16): Theopneustos – “God-breathed,” highlighting the divine origin and authority of Scripture.

Endure Hardship (2 Timothy 2:3): Kakopatheo – A term that means to suffer or endure afflictions patiently, often in the context of persecution.

Last Days (2 Timothy 3:1): Eschatos hemerai – Refers to the end times or the final period, implying the moral degradation and spiritual challenges expected before Christ’s return.

Major Lessons from 2 Timothy

Stand Firm in the Faith: Timothy is encouraged to stand firm despite persecution and to guard the truth of the gospel against false teachings.

Hold Fast to Scripture: Paul emphasizes the role of Scripture as the believer’s guide for faith and practice, stressing that it equips for every good work.

Endure Suffering for Christ: Paul models and teaches the importance of enduring hardship for the sake of the gospel.

Run the Race Faithfully: Paul’s farewell encourages believers to remain faithful and steadfast, confident in the hope of eternal reward.

Conclusion

2 Timothy offers insight into the heart of Paul as he prepares for martyrdom, providing timeless wisdom about endurance, faithfulness, and the authority of Scripture. Its message of perseverance in the face of hardship, holding fast to sound doctrine, and living a godly life is as relevant today as it was in the early church.

Paul’s final words to Timothy are a powerful reminder to all believers to “preach the word,” finish the race of faith well, and hold to the promise of life in Christ Jesus.

Taveau asks Chat GPT AI:
Q. Is tithing 10% off the gross income, a First Church requirement?

Chat GPT AI replies:

No, tithing 10% off the gross income is not a requirement for the First Church (early Christian church) as presented in the New Testament. The First Church did not impose the Old Testament law of tithing on its members, nor did it prescribe a specific percentage, such as 10%, for giving. Instead, giving in the early church was voluntary, generous, and based on the needs of the community, rather than a legalistic or fixed percentage requirement.

Understanding Tithing in the Old Testament:

Old Testament Tithing: In the Old Testament, tithing (giving 10%) was part of the Mosaic Law. It was intended for the support of the Levites, who served in the temple, as well as for festivals and to help the poor.

Multiple tithes were required under the law, and it was more of an agricultural system that supported the religious and societal structure of Israel (Leviticus 27:30-32, Numbers 18:21-24, Deuteronomy 14:22-29).

The Law Fulfilled in Christ: In the New Testament, Jesus fulfilled the requirements of the Old Testament law (Matthew 5:17), and the apostles did not impose the law of tithing on Christians. Instead, believers were encouraged to give according to what they were able and out of generosity, not compulsion.

Giving in the First Church:

Voluntary and Cheerful Giving: In the early church, giving was not based on a specific percentage like 10%, but rather it was a matter of the heart. Paul taught the believers to give willingly and cheerfully, as each person felt led by God.

2 Corinthians 9:7 says, “Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.”

Meeting Needs Within the Community: Giving in the First Church was often directed toward meeting the needs of fellow believers, especially the poor.

For example, in Acts 2:44-45, the believers shared everything they had: “And all that believed were together, and had all things common; And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.”

The focus was on generosity and helping one another rather than adhering to a strict rule of tithing.

Collections for the Poor: Paul also organized collections for the poor in Jerusalem, asking the Gentile churches to give as they were able. 1 Corinthians 16:1-2 says,

“Now concerning the collection for the saints… Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come.”

This demonstrates that giving was planned, but it was based on personal prosperity and ability, not a mandatory percentage.

Generosity and Equality: Paul also emphasized the principle of equality in giving. In 2 Corinthians 8:13-14, he writes,

“For I mean not that other men be eased, and ye burdened: But by an equality, that now at this time your abundance may be a supply for their want, that their abundance also may be a supply for your want: that there may be equality.”

This was about balancing resources to meet the needs of everyone in the church, not enforcing a tithe.

 

TD inquires Of Chat GPT AI:

Q. How Did the First Church Collect Monies, Tithes, etc.?

Chat GPT AI replies:

Offerings for Specific Needs: As seen in the New Testament, when there was a need—such as helping the poor or supporting missionaries—believers were asked to give according to their ability. Collections were taken up for these purposes, such as the offering for the poor in Jerusalem that Paul mentions in several of his letters (Romans 15:26, 2 Corinthians 8-9).

Sharing Resources: In the very early days of the church, especially in Jerusalem, believers shared their possessions freely. Acts 4:32-35 describes how “no one claimed that any of their possessions was their own, but they shared everything they had… and it was distributed to anyone who had need.”

This model of generosity was motivated by love and a desire to care for the community, not a law-bound tithe.

Support for Ministers: The early church also supported those in full-time ministry, but this was also done voluntarily. Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 9:14, “Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel.”

However, Paul himself often worked to support himself (Acts 18:3), demonstrating that ministers were not to demand financial support but could receive it as the community chose to give.

Conclusion:
In the First Church, giving was voluntary, generous, and motivated by love, not a legalistic requirement like tithing 10% off the gross income.

The New Testament does not command Christians to tithe but instead encourages believers to give as they are able and cheerfully. The focus was on caring for the community and meeting the needs of others, with no fixed percentage imposed on believers.

Taveau Asks:

What about collecting First Fruits offerings in the First Church?

ChatGPT said:

In the First Church, the concept of First Fruits offerings, which originated in the Old Testament, was not practiced in the same formalized or ritualistic way as it was under the Mosaic Law.

The New Testament does not command believers to give First Fruits offerings in the same way that the Israelites did, but the spirit of giving generously and sacrificially still permeates the early Christian community.

The New Testament focuses more on voluntary giving, generosity, and caring for others rather than specific agricultural offerings like First Fruits.

Old Testament Context of First Fruits Offerings:

Old Testament Requirement: In the Old Testament, First Fruits were the first portion of the harvest given as an offering to God.

This was an act of thanksgiving and trust, acknowledging that everything came from God. The Israelites were required to bring the first and best of their crops, livestock, and other resources to the temple as a way of honoring God for providing the harvest.

Key passages include:

Exodus 23:19: “The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring into the house of the LORD thy God.”

Leviticus 23:10: “Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest.”

Symbolism: The First Fruits offering symbolized giving the best to God and trusting Him for future provision. It was closely connected to the agricultural cycles of Israel, where farmers gave the first part of their crops to God as a demonstration of faith.

First Fruits in the New Testament and the First Church:

In the New Testament, the concept of First Fruits takes on a more spiritual meaning and is not directly linked to a command for specific offerings of crops or money. Instead, the emphasis is placed on generosity, voluntary giving, and the spiritual symbolism of First Fruits in relation to Jesus Christ and believers.

Jesus as the First Fruits:

In the New Testament, the apostle Paul refers to Jesus Christ as the First Fruits of those who have been raised from the dead. This means that Christ’s resurrection is the first and best of the resurrection that believers will experience. 1 Corinthians 15:20 says, “But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.”

This shifts the meaning of First Fruits from an agricultural offering to a spiritual reality about Christ’s resurrection.

Believers as First Fruits:

Believers themselves are also called First Fruits in a spiritual sense. This means that they are considered the first part of God’s new creation, sanctified and set apart for God. James 1:18 says, “Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.” This reflects the idea that Christians are to live lives dedicated to God, much like the offering of First Fruits in the Old Testament.

Voluntary Giving in the Early Church:

While the specific practice of First Fruits offerings is not prescribed for New Testament believers, the principle of giving generously and sacrificially remains. The early church was known for its voluntary, communal giving to meet the needs of fellow believers. Acts 2:44-45 describes how the early Christians “sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.” The emphasis was on meeting needs and giving freely, not following the Old Testament system of First Fruits or tithing.

Paul’s Instructions on Giving:
The apostle Paul encourages the early believers to give as they are able, without prescribing specific percentages or types of offerings like First Fruits. In 2 Corinthians 9:7, he writes, “Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.” This reflects the New Covenant approach to giving, which is based on grace and generosity rather than legalistic requirements.

First Fruits in Modern Christianity:

Some modern Christian groups refer to First Fruits offerings, but these practices are typically rooted in tradition rather than direct New Testament commands. These offerings are usually symbolic, where believers give their first paycheck of the year or a portion of their income as a thanksgiving offering to God.

However, this is not a New Testament mandate.

Conclusion:

In the First Church, there was no specific requirement for First Fruits offerings as in the Old Testament. The New Testament shifts the emphasis from a legalistic offering of crops or money to a spiritual understanding of First Fruits in relation to Christ and the life of believers. The early Christians were encouraged to give voluntarily, generously, and cheerfully to support the needs of others, rather than adhering to Old Testament regulations like tithing or First Fruits offerings.

Taveau asked Chat GPT AI:

Discussing being formally pressured by the top sr pastor, apostle, prophet to give tithes, pay money..address in First Church Bible

ChatGPT said:

In the First Church, there is no biblical mandate or example of believers being formally pressured or coerced by senior pastors, apostles, or prophets to give tithes or money. In fact, the New Testament emphasizes voluntary giving, generosity, and the cheerful heart of the giver, rather than any form of compulsion or pressure from leadership.

Key New Testament Teachings on Giving:

Voluntary and Cheerful Giving:

2 Corinthians 9:7: “Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.”

This verse highlights the freedom of the giver. Believers are to give as they feel led by God, not under compulsion or pressure from anyone. The focus is on giving willingly, without coercion, and with joy.

No Specific Tithing Command for the Church:

The New Testament does not command believers to tithe 10% as a legal obligation. While tithing (giving 10%) was an Old Testament practice for the Israelites to support the Levitical priesthood (see Leviticus 27:30, Numbers 18:21), the New Testament church was not under the same system.

The early Christians gave out of love and generosity to support the work of the ministry and to help those in need, but there is no evidence of a fixed percentage like the Old Testament tithe being imposed on believers.

Avoiding Greed and Manipulation:

1 Peter 5:2-3: “Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind; Neither as being lords over God’s heritage, but being examples to the flock.”

This passage warns leaders not to shepherd God’s people for dishonest gain (filthy lucre) or in a domineering way. Church leaders are to serve with integrity, not for financial gain, and certainly not by lording over or pressuring the flock.

The Early Church and Generosity:

Acts 4:32-35 describes how the early Christians shared everything they had, with no one claiming ownership of possessions. The giving was voluntary and motivated by love and concern for others, not by pressure from the apostles.

The text says,

“Neither was there any among them that lacked…and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.” The apostles did not demand money, but the believers gave freely to meet the needs of others.

Warnings Against False Teachers and Greedy Leaders:

1 Timothy 6:5 speaks of those who suppose “that gain is godliness” and warns believers to “withdraw” from such people. This verse refers to leaders or teachers who view the pursuit of wealth as a sign of godliness, using religion as a means to acquire financial gain. The First Church was warned to avoid such leaders who sought to exploit believers financially.

Paul’s Example of Self-Sufficiency:

The apostle Paul himself did not pressure the churches he planted for money. In fact, he often worked to support himself to avoid being a financial burden. Acts 20:33-35 records Paul’s words:

“I have coveted no man’s silver, or gold, or apparel… I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.” Paul set an example of laboring to provide for himself and encouraged generosity out of love, not through compulsion.

Context of Giving in the First Church:
In the early church, giving was a voluntary act of love for God and others. There were no formal pressures or institutionalized demands for money from leaders like we see in some modern ministries.

The Acts 2:44-45 passage shows that early Christians sold possessions and gave to others as they felt led. This was not a legalistic requirement but a community of believers supporting one another freely.

Addressing Coercion and Pressure in Modern Times:

If a senior pastor, apostle, or prophet is pressuring members to give money, especially through coercion or by manipulating spiritual authority, this practice is out of alignment with the spirit of New Testament giving. The Bible makes it clear that giving should be:

Free-willed, without manipulation (2 Corinthians 9:7)

.
Not motivated by greed or a desire for personal gain (1 Timothy 6:5, 1 Peter 5:2-3).

Generous and out of love, reflecting the grace that believers have received from Christ (Acts 4:32-35).

In the First Church, the heart attitude of the giver was far more important than the amount or frequency of giving. Any modern-day practice that turns giving into a form of control or dominance by leadership goes against the New Testament teachings of mutual submission, generosity, and humility.

Conclusion:
The practice of being formally pressured by senior pastors, apostles, or prophets to give tithes or money does not align with the teachings of the First Church in the New Testament. Giving was always to be done voluntarily, with a cheerful heart, and without coercion or manipulation by leadership.

Leaders were warned against exploiting their spiritual authority for financial gain, and believers were encouraged to give generously but out of personal conviction and love, not compulsion.


“MOTIVES AND ACUTE PRESSURE

Taveau specifically asks for Chat GPT to discuss “the difference in forced, pressured Christian Bible teaching on “giving , and sowing, etc and true Holy Spirit “taking up offerings’ teaching:

ChatGPT answers back:

Understanding the Difference Between Forced Compulsion and Holy Spirit Conviction in Giving

As the church navigates the complexities of financial stewardship, it is essential for Christians to discern the difference between a forced, carnal compulsion to give and a Holy Spirit-led conviction to contribute. This understanding is crucial for fostering a healthy attitude toward generosity that reflects the heart of God rather than one driven by obligation or manipulation.

1. The Nature of Forced Compulsion
Forced compulsion often stems from pressure exerted by leaders or institutions, leading individuals to give out of obligation rather than genuine desire. This type of giving can manifest in various ways, including:

Manipulative Teachings:
Messages that imply spiritual failure or lack of faith if one does not give a certain amount or percentage.
Guilt and Shame: Emotional appeals that leverage feelings of guilt, making individuals feel responsible for the church’s financial needs or the suffering of others.

Legalistic Expectations: Setting rigid rules about giving (e.g., mandatory tithing or offerings), often using scripture out of context to justify the demand.

This approach can create a toxic environment where giving becomes a burden rather than a blessing, leading to resentment and disengagement from the church community.

2. The Essence of Holy Spirit Conviction
In contrast, Holy Spirit conviction is characterized by a genuine response to God’s love and grace, compelling individuals to give freely and joyfully. This form of giving is rooted in the following:

Understanding of God’s Provisions:
Recognizing that all we have comes from God (James 1:17) fosters a sense of gratitude that inspires giving. The believer realizes they are merely stewards of God’s resources, leading to a willingness to share generously.

Scriptural Foundation:

Engaging with biblical teachings on generosity can cultivate a desire to give.

For instance, 2 Corinthians 9:7 states, “Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.” This emphasizes the heart posture in giving—one motivated by love and gratitude rather than obligation.

Prompting of the Holy Spirit:
A Spirit-led conviction occurs when the Holy Spirit stirs the heart to respond to needs, whether within the church or the broader community. This often leads to spontaneous acts of generosity and a desire to support those in need, aligning with God’s will and purpose.

3. Biblical Foundation for Generosity

Several scriptures illustrate the importance of a heart led by the Spirit in giving, reinforcing the need for believers to respond to God’s guidance:

Psalm 41:1-3: “Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver him in time of trouble. The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies. The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness.”

This passage underscores the blessing that comes from caring for those in need, highlighting that generosity is not only about financial contributions but also about compassion and action.

Malachi 3:10: “Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.”

This scripture encourages believers to give out of faith, trusting that God will provide abundantly in return.

4. Recounting God’s Blessings
To cultivate a culture of genuine giving, it is beneficial for Christians to regularly recount the blessings they have received from God.

Here are a few practices:

Testimonies of Faithfulness: Sharing personal stories of how God has provided and blessed individuals can inspire others to give from a place of gratitude and faith.

Prayer and Reflection: Encouraging prayerful reflection on God’s provision in one’s life can foster a deeper appreciation for His blessings and a desire to share with others.

Community Engagement: Involvement in community service and outreach programs allows individuals to see the impact of their contributions firsthand, reinforcing the joy of giving.

Conclusion

The call to give should never be rooted in fear, guilt, or compulsion but should instead flow from a heart transformed by the love of Christ. By distinguishing between a forced compulsion to give and a Holy Spirit-led conviction, Christians can cultivate a spirit of generosity that honors God and meets the needs of others. As believers respond to God’s promptings with grateful hearts, they contribute to building a thriving, compassionate church community that reflects the heart of God and fulfills the mission of Christ.

When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.”

Proverbs 19:17
“He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.”

James 1:27
“Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.”

Galatians 6:10
“As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.”

Luke 14:13-14
“But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind: And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.”

Psalm 41:1-5 (TD Notes: This is a beautiful blessing!)

Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver him in time of trouble.

The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies.

The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness.
I said, LORD, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.

Conclusion

In your giving to support the fellowship gathering spot and ministry offices, remember that God promises blessings to those who give with a cheerful heart and act with compassion towards others, especially the poor and needy.

These scriptures serve as a reminder of the divine principles governing generosity, stewardship, and care for one another in Christian community.

AN OPTIONAL REALISTIC THOUGHT:
Determining each of Our True Storehouse..for tithing, giving:

TO the reader I ask CHAPT AI about this:

NOTE: after close to 50 years of deep study about this, I, T D’Arcy support each Christian “identifying” their “storehouse” or “storehouse” meaning: from whence they INSIDE “PERCEIVE, FEEL, DISCERN” that God uses those area,media, ministries or person (?) to “be there to “feed them” discuss that as possibly true in First church beliefs or not.

ChatGPT said:

The idea of each Christian identifying their own “storehouse”—understood as the ministries, people, or areas through which they perceive God’s provision and spiritual nourishment—can align with the beliefs and practices of the First Church, albeit with some nuanced differences in interpretation.

 

Individual Discernment of Spiritual Sources
In the early church, believers were encouraged to seek spiritual growth and nourishment from various sources, including fellow believers, teachings, and communal gatherings. This aligns with the concept of identifying personal “storehouses” where one feels spiritually fed and nurtured.

Acts 2:42-47
“And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles. And all that believed were together, and had all things common; And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.”

This passage highlights the communal aspect of the early church, where believers shared their resources and were attentive to one another’s needs. The “storehouse” could be seen as a reflection of the community that collectively provided spiritual sustenance.

Spiritual Gifts and Mutual Support
The early church operated on the principle of mutual support, with each member contributing their gifts for the benefit of the whole body. This reflects the idea that individuals might identify different “storehouses” based on their spiritual gifts and the specific ways they feel called to contribute.

1 Corinthians 12:12-14
“For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. For the body is not one member, but many.”

This passage emphasizes the diversity within the body of Christ and suggests that each person may find nourishment and connection in different areas or ministries, reinforcing the idea of personal discernment in identifying one’s “storehouse.”

Responsibility of Spiritual Leaders
The New Testament also emphasizes the responsibility of spiritual leaders to feed and care for their congregations. While this can imply a more institutional understanding of “storehouse,” it also supports the notion that God uses various individuals and ministries to provide spiritual nourishment.

Ephesians 4:11-12
“And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ.”

This suggests that God raises up various leaders to meet the needs of believers, who can then discern which leaders or ministries resonate with their spiritual needs and growth.

 

Taveau is interested and inquires about “giving into “our Storehouse” (See Malachi 3:10

“WHERE IS MY, OUR MINISTRY STOREHOUSE?”

Chat GPT states

The concept of identifying one’s “storehouse” can be supported by First Church beliefs, as it reflects the personal discernment of God’s provision and the communal nature of the early Christian experience. While the institutional interpretation of “storehouse” often emphasizes a singular local church, the First Church approach encourages a broader understanding of spiritual nourishment sourced from various ministries and relationships. This aligns with the overall New Testament teaching that emphasizes grace, personal relationship with God, and the active participation of each believer in the body of Christ

In modern Christian belief, particularly among some denominations and movements, the interpretation of Malachi 3:10 often suggests that believers should exclusively bring their tithes to their local church. This viewpoint can create a sense of obligation to give solely to that specific congregation, often leading to fear of repercussions for not doing so. However, it is essential to examine how the First Church (the early Christian community) understood tithing and the implications of Malachi 3:10 within the context of the Old Testament Levitical law.

First Church Perspective on Tithing and Giving

Collective Support for Needs
The early church in the Book of Acts demonstrated a model of community support and shared resources. Believers contributed to the needs of one another rather than adhering strictly to a 10% tithe directed solely to a local church.

Acts 2:44-45
“And all that believed were together, and had all things common; And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.”

This illustrates a communal approach to giving where the focus was on supporting one another’s needs, reflecting love and unity rather than rigid adherence to a percentage.

Generosity Beyond the Local Church
The early church engaged in supporting various ministries and needs outside their immediate congregation, demonstrating that giving should not be limited to a single location or purpose.

2 Corinthians 8:1-5
“Moreover, brethren, we do you to wit of the grace of God bestowed on the churches of Macedonia; How that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality. For to their power, I bear record, yea, and beyond their power they were willing of themselves; Praying us with much intreaty that we would receive the gift, and take upon us the fellowship of the ministering to the saints. And this they did, not as we hoped, but first gave their own selves to the Lord, and unto us by the will of God.”

This passage highlights the Macedonian churches’ willingness to give generously, even in their poverty, and their desire to support the broader body of Christ.

Context of Malachi 3:10

Old Testament Levitical Law
It is important to recognize that Malachi 3:10 is part of the Old Testament law, which was given to the Israelites under the Levitical system. Tithing was a command meant to support the Levitical priesthood and the needs of the temple.

Numbers 18:21
“And, behold, I have given the children of Levi all the tenth in Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they serve, even the service of the tabernacle of the congregation.”

The context indicates that the tithes were primarily intended for specific purposes related to the temple and priesthood, not necessarily as a mandate for New Testament believers.

Fulfillment in Christ
With the coming of Christ, believers are no longer under the law but are called to live by grace. The New Testament encourages giving as an expression of love and faith rather than a legalistic requirement.

Romans 10:4
“For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.”

This shift emphasizes that believers are to give willingly and generously, reflecting the heart of Christ rather than fulfilling a legal obligation.

Conclusion

The First Church viewed giving as a communal responsibility that extended beyond the confines of a single local church. While Malachi 3:10 addresses tithing under the Old Testament law, the New Testament presents a more relational and grace-filled approach to giving. Believers are encouraged to support one another and various ministries as led by the Holy Spirit, fostering a spirit of generosity rather than fear or compulsion.

About ‘fear, even a widespread Christian superstition”

Taveau wants to address:

There is a certain “fear” about failing to give ALL of your tithes and offerings..address ..and there is a big modern Christian expectation re Malachi 3:10 and being smitten, harmed..

 

Chat GPT answers back:
The concern surrounding tithing and offerings, particularly in light of Malachi 3:10, has created a culture of fear among some believers. They may feel pressured to give a full 10% of their income to their local church or face negative consequences. Here’s a look at these issues and some KJV verses to balance this perspective.

Fear of Failing to Give Tithes and Offerings
Many modern Christians may experience fear or anxiety regarding their financial contributions, believing that failure to give all their tithes and offerings could lead to divine punishment or a lack of blessings. This fear is often rooted in teachings that emphasize Malachi 3:10, which states:

Malachi 3:10
“Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.”

While this verse emphasizes the blessings associated with giving, it is important to recognize that God’s grace is not contingent on our perfection in tithing.

Balancing Perspectives on Tithing and Offerings

God’s Grace and Mercy
The New Testament emphasizes grace over the law. Believers are encouraged to give from the heart rather than under compulsion.

2 Corinthians 9:7
“Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.”

The Nature of the Storehouse
While some teachings suggest that the local church is the sole storehouse for tithes, it’s essential to consider that the storehouse can be interpreted more broadly, encompassing various ministries and needs.

Acts 4:34-35
“Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold, And laid them down at the apostles’ feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.”

God’s Promise of Provision
Believers can trust that God will provide for their needs, regardless of their financial contributions. This reassurance can alleviate the fear associated with tithing.

Philippians 4:19
“But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”

Giving as a Reflection of the Heart
The focus of giving should be on the intention behind it rather than the amount given.

Luke 21:1-4
“And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury. And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites. And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all: For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had.”

Freedom in Christ
Believers are free from the law’s curse and can give joyfully without fear of punishment.

Galatians 5:1
“Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.”

Conclusion
While teachings around tithing, particularly concerning Malachi 3:10, may foster fear regarding financial contributions, it is crucial to balance these perspectives with the principles of grace, heart-led giving, and the broader understanding of ministry support. God’s provision and love are not limited to our financial contributions but encompass a much larger scope of His grace and mercy in our lives.

Understanding “Giving to Get”

“Giving to get” refers to a contemporary misunderstanding and misuse of biblical teachings on generosity, particularly within popular ministry contexts. This concept often implies that if individuals give financially, they can expect to receive blessings, wealth, or other rewards in return. While certain scripture passages may be referenced to support this teaching, it can lead to a transactional mindset that diminishes the true essence of Christian generosity.

Concerns About Current Ministry Teachings

Apostle Sister Taveau emphasizes the need for awareness and caution regarding this trend, particularly as many modern ministry teachings—especially those propagated through television—can perpetuate the notion of “prosperity gospel.” This often shifts focus away from Christ and the foundational principles of faith, character, and a personal relationship with God. The emphasis on material wealth and visible success can obscure the transformative journey of faith that Jesus exemplified and encouraged in His followers.

Key Distinctions

  1. Wealth vs. Provision:
    • Wealth: Often associated with material accumulation and external status, which can lead to greed, avarice, and a showbiz mentality. This is echoed in 1 Timothy 6:5:
      “Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.”
    • Provision: Refers to God’s faithful supply of needs, which may not always align with worldly definitions of success. Understanding this distinction helps believers appreciate the sufficiency of God in all circumstances, regardless of their material situation.
  2. Longsuffering with Christ:
    • Embracing a relationship with Christ often involves challenges, sacrifices, and the necessity of longsuffering. This aligns with biblical principles where spiritual growth is prioritized over immediate gratification or material gain.
  3. Materialism and Greed:
    • The dangers of materialism can lead to a focus on self-interest and a neglect of spiritual responsibilities. It fosters a mentality that equates faith with financial transactions, which can result in a distorted view of God’s intentions for giving.

The Importance of Organic, Authentic Giving

Organic giving refers to a natural and sincere response to the leading of the Holy Spirit, rooted in love and compassion rather than obligation or expectation of reward. Authentic giving stems from a genuine desire to serve others and reflect Christ’s love.

Discerning Works vs. Grace

  1. Works: In the context of “giving to get,” works may refer to actions taken with the expectation of earning God’s favor or receiving material blessings in return. This transactional mindset can undermine the essence of faith.
  2. Grace: True grace involves recognizing that God’s love and blessings are not earned but freely given. Generosity should flow from an understanding of God’s grace and the desire to bless others without expecting anything in return.

Training in Discernment

To foster a healthier understanding of giving, the following practices can be adopted:

  1. Teaching on Biblical Generosity:
    • Ministry leaders should emphasize the importance of generosity motivated by love, joy, and gratitude, rather than obligation or fear. This helps to realign focus on Christ and His teachings.
    • 2 Corinthians 9:7:
      “Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.”
    • This verse reinforces the idea that giving should be voluntary and heartfelt.
  2. Encouraging Personal Reflection:
    • Believers should be encouraged to seek the Holy Spirit’s guidance when considering their giving. This can involve prayer, journaling, and reflection to discern motivations and ensure they align with God’s will.
  3. Fostering Community Discussion:
    • Creating spaces for open conversations about financial stewardship and giving can help believers share their experiences and grow together in understanding what it means to give generously and selflessly.
  4. Educating on Biblical Stewardship:
    • Providing teachings that cover responsible financial management and the importance of supporting both local and broader ministries can enhance the understanding of what it means to be a steward of God’s resources.

Conclusion

The teaching of “giving to get” can distort the fundamental understanding of Christian generosity, shifting the focus from a relationship with Christ to a transactional approach. It is vital to recognize the differences between wealth and provision, and to understand the dangers of materialism and greed. By emphasizing organic, Spirit-led giving and fostering a community centered on grace rather than works, believe

Understanding Wealth in Psalms 144 and 112

Both Psalm 144 and Psalm 112 provide valuable insights into the nature of wealth and righteousness from a biblical perspective, which can be applied to modern Christians seeking to navigate the complexities of prosperity, success, and societal expectations.

Psalm 144: A Prayer for Deliverance and Prosperity

Psalm 144:12-15 states:

“That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth; that our daughters may be as corner stones, polished after the similitude of a palace:
That our garners may be full, affording all manner of store: that our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our streets:
That our oxen may be strong to labor; that there be no breaking in, nor going out; that there be no complaining in our streets.
Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose God is the Lord.”

Key Themes:

  1. Divine Blessing and Prosperity: The psalmist prays for a future where the nation is prosperous, and families thrive. This prosperity includes a flourishing community where resources are abundant, signifying God’s blessing on His people.
  2. Righteousness and Stability: The emphasis on “no breaking in, nor going out” signifies peace and security, a reflection of a righteous society that aligns with God’s principles.
  3. Contrasting with “Strange Children”: The phrase “strange children” can be interpreted as those who are not aligned with God’s ways or who engage in idolatry and moral corruption. The psalmist implies that wealth and prosperity are linked to fidelity to God’s covenant and righteousness. Those who do not submit to “strange children”—or worldly influences—will find favor and stability in God.

Psalm 112: The Characteristics of the Righteous

Psalm 112:1-3 states:

“Praise ye the Lord. Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.
His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.
Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth forever.”

Key Themes:

  1. God’s Favor on the Righteous: The psalm describes a man who reveres God and delights in His commandments, implying that true prosperity stems from a relationship with God rooted in faith and obedience.
  2. Wealth as a Blessing: The promise that “wealth and riches shall be in his house” highlights that material blessings can be part of a righteous life. It does not negate the value of righteousness; instead, it complements it.
  3. Eternal Perspective: The statement that “his righteousness endureth forever” indicates that spiritual wealth—character, integrity, and righteousness—is of utmost importance and will outlast material possessions.

Application to Modern Christians

  1. Pursuing Prosperity with Integrity: Modern Christians can take these psalms as a framework for understanding that prosperity is not inherently wrong. Rather, it should be pursued within the context of righteousness and integrity. The blessings of wealth should be seen as tools to further God’s kingdom and support community well-being, rather than as ends in themselves.
  2. Caution Against Worldly Influences: The warning against “strange children” serves as a caution against being swayed by societal pressures that prioritize material gain over ethical and spiritual values. It calls Christians to maintain their distinctiveness in a culture that often celebrates materialism without regard for character.
  3. Balanced Approach to Wealth: Both psalms advocate for a balanced approach to wealth. While it is acceptable to enjoy the fruits of labor, it is crucial to remain grounded in the faith and to understand that true prosperity is holistic, encompassing spiritual, emotional, and relational health alongside material wealth.
  4. Role of the Church in Addressing Wealth: Church leaders can encourage congregants to embrace prosperity while also teaching the importance of generosity, stewardship, and social responsibility. By doing so, the church can help believers cultivate a mindset that sees wealth as an opportunity for service rather than as a source of pride or a sign of superiority.
  5. Supporting the Vulnerable: Christians are called to be mindful of their wealth in relation to the poor and vulnerable. Wealth should lead to compassion and support for those in need, reflecting the character of Christ, who embodied humility and service.

Conclusion

Psalms 144 and 112 affirm that wealth can be a blessing from God, provided it is pursued in a way that honors Him and reflects His values. They encourage modern Christians to be unashamed of being prosperous while emphasizing the necessity of a righteous foundation. A healthy balance involves recognizing that true wealth extends beyond material possessions to include a deep relationship with God and a commitment to His ways.

 

Taveau’s this of Chat GPT

Give a “Demas church subculture” and personal life description as opposed to living blessed by God’s underserved,  granted big grace,the person’s hard and business, ministry, family personal acumen, gift, call and  pure heart wisdom..meaning in  “being accused” of being “rich”…” Discuss the unwise Dema fruit, such as  FOMO, keeping with Joneses, envy about money, and Godly MYOB more”

Demas vs. God’s Granted Grace in Wealth

The story of Demas serves as a cautionary tale about the allure of worldly success and the potential pitfalls that come with it, contrasting sharply with the Godly wisdom and grace that guide believers in achieving true Christian wealth. Understanding these dynamics can help believers navigate issues like FOMO (Fear of Missing Out), envy, and the pressures of keeping up with societal expectations.

USA assessed as The Modern Day Christian Demas: A Cautionary Figure

Demas is mentioned in 2 Timothy 4:10:

“For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia.”

Key Themes:

  1. Love for the Present World: Demas represents those who succumb to the temptation of worldly pleasures and materialism, choosing to forsake their spiritual commitments. His departure illustrates the risk of prioritizing temporary, worldly gains over eternal values.
  2. Consequences of Compromise: Demas’s choice reflects a failure to understand the true nature of wealth as defined by God, leading to spiritual impoverishment despite potential material gain.

God’s Granted Grace: True Christian Wealth

In contrast to Demas, God’s grace allows believers to pursue wealth rooted in spiritual principles:

  1. Blessing of God’s Kind of Wealth: True Christian wealth encompasses not just material possessions but also spiritual richness—peace, joy, integrity, and community. Proverbs 10:22 states,

    “The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.”

  2. Wisdom in Hard Work: Achieving God’s kind of wealth requires diligence and wisdom. In Colossians 3:23-24, it is written:

    “And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.”

  3. Balancing Ministry and Family: The integration of ministry, family, and business wisdom allows believers to cultivate wealth that honors God and serves others, promoting a holistic approach to life.

Navigating Modern Pressures: FOMO, Envy, and Keeping Up

  1. FOMO (Fear of Missing Out): The pervasive culture of FOMO can drive individuals to pursue wealth and success at any cost, fearing they will miss out on opportunities or experiences enjoyed by others. This mentality can lead to discontent and a constant comparison of one’s situation to others.
  2. Keeping Up with the Joneses: This phrase highlights the societal pressure to match or surpass one’s neighbors in terms of material possessions and lifestyle. Such behavior often leads to financial strain, jealousy, and a departure from God’s principles.
  3. Envy and Comparison: Envy can cloud judgment and lead to dissatisfaction with one’s own blessings. Proverbs 14:30 warns:

    “A sound heart is the life of the flesh: but envy the rottenness of the bones.”

    Envy leads to a cycle of discontent and undermines the joy of appreciating one’s blessings.

Taveau’s Apostolic Modern Day “love walk’ Bride of Christ Call about this:

A Godly MYOB (Mind Your Own Business)

Chat describes this:

  1. Focus on Individual Calling: Godly wisdom encourages individuals to focus on their unique path and calling, as expressed in 1 Thessalonians 4:11:

    “And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you.”

    By concentrating on personal growth and service, believers can avoid the pitfalls of envy and comparison.

  2. Avoiding Judgment: Matthew 7:1-2 cautions against judging others, urging believers to focus on their own actions rather than being critical of others’ choices, especially regarding wealth.
  3. Building Community Over Competition: Emphasizing collaboration over competition can foster a supportive environment where wealth is seen as a tool for communal growth rather than a status symbol.

Conclusion

The contrast between Demas and the blessings granted by God reflects the deeper understanding of wealth that transcends mere financial gain. By recognizing the dangers of FOMO, societal pressures, and envy, believers can cultivate a God-honoring approach to wealth that is rooted in grace, wisdom, and a focus on their unique calling. In doing so, they can navigate life with integrity and purpose, fostering an authentic community that values spiritual richness over materialism.
