“Who put the ELF in Selfie?” Dr. T 2018

Dr T reminds the reader:

This is minister, elder, leaders ” motives and mindsets” “methods”

and many “voices” and authority “tones”

One key Bible verse that advises against exposing another person’s sins publicly is

Proverbs 17:9 (KJV):

“He that covereth a transgression seeketh love;

but he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends.”

This verse suggests that love seeks to cover or forgive sins rather than broadcast them, while repeatedly bringing up offenses causes division.

Another relevant passage is Matthew 18:15 (KJV), which gives a clear biblical process for addressing sin:

“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.”

Jesus instructs believers to address sins privately first, rather than exposing them publicly. Only if the person refuses to listen does the matter escalate to a wider audience (Matthew 18:16-17).

1. Proverbs 11:13 (KJV)

“A talebearer revealeth secrets: but he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth the matter.”

  • This warns against gossip and revealing private matters, emphasizing faithfulness in keeping confidences.

2. Proverbs 25:9-10 (KJV)

“Debate thy cause with thy neighbour himself; and discover not a secret to another: Lest he that heareth it put thee to shame, and thine infamy turn not away.”

**Aside: as the KJV of this is difficult, I add both of these translations of Proverbs 25:9-10  Amplified Bible (AMP) and  English Standard Version (ESV):

Proverbs 25:9-10 Amplified Bible (AMP)

9 Argue your case with your neighbor himself [before you go to court];
And do not reveal another’s secret,
10 Or he who hears it will shame you
And the rumor about you [and your action in court] will have no end.

Proverbs 25:9-10 English Standard Version (ESV)

9 Argue your case with your neighbor himself,
and do not reveal another’s secret,
10 lest he who hears you bring shame upon you,
and your ill repute have no end.

  • This passage emphasizes handling disputes privately and not exposing others’ secrets, as it can lead to shame and lasting damage to one’s reputation.

  • Publicly exposing someone’s secrets can lead to shame for both parties.

  • This encourages handling disputes privately and warns that publicly exposing someone’s secrets can lead to shame for both parties.

3. 1 Peter 4:8 (KJV)

“And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.”

  • Love seeks to cover sin (not in the sense of enabling it but rather addressing it with grace and mercy).

4. Galatians 6:1 (KJV)

“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 emphasizes restoration rather than public humiliation, warning against self-righteousness.


NAMING CHRISTIAN NAMES: OUT IN PUBLIC OR IN PRIVATE

According to biblical teaching, the responsibility to call out and address the sins of an elder in Christian ministry is not vested in just any individual or group. Instead, it follows a defined, church-based process intended to promote restoration rather than public shaming.

1. Private Confrontation by a Fellow Believer

Matthew 18:15 (KJV) teaches that if a believer sins, the first step is to speak to them privately:
“Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone:”

  • This indicates that a fellow Christian who is directly concerned should address the issue privately before it becomes a matter of public record.

2. Escalation to Church Leadership

If private confrontation does not lead to repentance, Matthew 18:16-17 (KJV) instructs to involve one or two others:
“But if he heed not, tell it unto the church: but if he heed not even the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen and a publican.”

  • This process implies that the issue should be raised within the local church context, where the gathered body of believers, and ultimately the leadership (elders), can address the sin.

3. Accountability of Church Elders

For elders specifically, 1 Timothy 5:19-20 (KJV) advises caution and proper evidence before any public rebuke:
“Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses. Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear.”

  • This passage underscores that any call-out must be handled carefully, with verified evidence and in accordance with established church discipline, rather than by strangers or external parties.

Conclusion

The Bible directs that only fellow believers—ideally those within the church leadership or designated accountability groups—have the authority to address the sin of an elder. This ensures that the matter is handled with the intent of restoration, in line with biblical procedures, rather than through external, potentially divisive gossip or media sensationalism.

ASKING: Is It a Noble, God-Called Mission to Expose Fellow Christians in Scandal Videos and Podcasts, MANY ARTICLES?

The modern trend of Christian scandal-exposing channels, podcasts, and viral video clips claiming to serve God by exposing sins—especially of high-ranking elders, pastors, and ministers—is deeply questionable from a biblical perspective.

This practice often involves:

  • Leaked audio or video clips, taken without context

  • Public humiliation rather than biblical correction

  • Guilt by association or misrepresented private moments

  • Mockery and monetization of scandals

So, is this a noble, God-ordained calling—or a worldly, flesh-driven practice?

1. The Nature of a God-Called Mission

A. God Calls for Restoration, Not Destruction

  • Galatians 6:1 (KJV) – “Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness.”
    ++ True godly correction aims for RESTORATION, not entertainment, humiliation, or viral fame.

  • Matthew 18:15-17 (KJV) – Jesus’ process of correction is private first, public only if necessary.++ These gossip ministries skip the private step and rush to public exposure for views.

B. Biblical Examples of Private Sin Handling

  • Noah’s Sin and Ham’s Dishonor

    • Genesis 9:20-27 (KJV) – Noah was drunk and exposed. Ham spread the news instead of covering his father’s shame.

    • His brothers, Shem and Japheth, covered him without looking.

    • Ham was cursed for dishonoring his father.
      ++ Lesson – Exposing a leader’s private sin instead of handling it with discretion brings judgment, not blessing.

  • David and Saul

    • 1 Samuel 24:6 (KJV) – “The LORD forbid that I should do this thing unto my master, the LORD’s anointed, to stretch forth mine hand against him.”

    • Even when Saul was unrighteous, David refused to attack or expose him.++ Lesson – Even an unrighteous leader is in God’s hands, not ours, for judgment.

2. Airing Leaked Clips, Secret Videos – Biblical or Slander?

A. God Hates Secret Whispers & Spying on Others

  • Proverbs 6:16-19 (KJV) – God hates those who “sow discord among brethren.”

  • Proverbs 11:13 (KJV) – “A talebearer revealeth secrets: but he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth the matter.”
    ++ Leaking private recordings and exposing ministers is gossip, not discernment.

B. Satan is Called ‘The Accuser of the Brethren’

  • Revelation 12:10 (KJV) – Satan is the one who accuses God’s people day and night.
    ++ Are these exposé ministries acting like Christ—or like Satan, the Accuser?

3. The Hypocrisy of Scandal-Based Ministries

A. Those Who Expose Others Often Fall Themselves

  • Matthew 7:3-5 (KJV) – Jesus warns against focusing on others’ sins while ignoring personal faults.

  • Romans 2:1 (KJV) – “Thou that judgest doest the same things.”
    ++ Many Christian YouTubers and influencers who attacked others have later been exposed themselves.

B. Profiting Off of Scandal

  • Many of these channels monetize their content—is this righteous correction or profiting off gossip?

  • 1 Timothy 6:5 (KJV) warns against those who see godliness as gain (profit).
    ++ True prophetic ministry does not operate like a Christian TMZ gossip business.

4. How Should Christians Respond to a Fallen Leader?

A. If They Are in Unrepentant Sin

  1. Follow Matthew 18:15-17 (KJV) – Go to them privately first.

  2. 1 Timothy 5:19-20 (KJV) – Public rebuke should only happen with multiple witnesses (not secret leaked clips).

B. If They Have Already Repented

  • Isaiah 43:25 (KJV) – “I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions, and will not remember thy sins.”
    ++ If God has forgiven a 25-year-old sin, why are Christians still exposing it?

  • Micah 7:18-19 (KJV) – “He will cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.”
    ++ Are scandal exposé ministries fishing sins out of the sea that God already forgave?

Final Conclusion: Scandal Exposure Ministries Are NOT a Noble, God-Called Work

  1. They act like modern-day Pharisees – focusing on public shame rather than biblical restoration.

  2. They operate like worldly gossip media – using scandal for views, likes, and monetization.

  3. They break biblical protocol – skipping private correction and rushing to public judgment.

  4. They fall into the sin of slander and talebearing – which the Bible clearly condemns.

  5. They do not reflect Christ’s heart – He sought repentance and restoration, not public destruction.

++ A true God-called ministry does not thrive on Christian TMZ-style gossip, but on biblical truth, love, and restoration.

James 2:13 (KJV)

“For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.”

++ Final Thought: Those who expose others without mercy will be judged without mercy themselves.

Ephesians 5:11 What IS and IS NOT Bible openly “reproving works of darkness”

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

This verse calls believers to separate themselves from behaviors that promote darkness and unfruitful actions, while at the same time holding sin accountable in a way that honors God. The challenge is to discern what constitutes proper, biblical reproof versus what becomes a tool for gossip and public shaming.

What It IS According to Ephesians 5:11

  1. Biblical Reproof for Restoration:

    • Purpose: The intent is to correct and restore, not merely to condemn.

    • Method: This should be done in a measured, thoughtful, and loving manner, ideally following the process outlined in Matthew 18:15‑17 (i.e., addressing the matter privately, then with a small group if necessary, and involving the wider church only as a last resort).

    • Example: When a leader’s sin is evidenced by clear, serious wrongdoing—especially if it endangers the lives or well-being of others—responsible church leaders or accountability bodies should address it with appropriate evidence and care.

  2. Guarding Against Unfruitful Darkness:

    • Definition: “Unfruitful works of darkness” includes actions that dishonor God and damage the church’s witness—such as unverified, sensationalized gossip or exposing private matters for entertainment.

    • Application: Instead of joining in with the spectacle, a believer is called to oppose such actions by pursuing truth and encouraging private, restorative dialogue.

  3. Accountability Within the Body of Christ:

    • Responsibility: Accountability should come from those within the church community—mature, spiritually grounded individuals who understand both the gravity of sin and the need for grace.

    • Safeguards: As emphasized in 1 Timothy 5:19‑20, accusations must be based on the testimony of two or three witnesses, ensuring that any public reproof is grounded in truth and not personal vendetta.

What It Is NOT According to Ephesians 5:11

  1. Not a License for Public Scandal or Gossip:

    • Misuse: Publicly airing private sins, such as releasing recordings or details from confidential meetings for views or personal gain, falls into the category of “unfruitful works of darkness.”

    • Contrast: Instead of reproof that leads to restoration, such public exposures often serve to shame, divide, and glorify scandal rather than uphold biblical integrity.

  2. Not an Act of Revenge, Jealousy, or Sensationalism:

    • Wrong Motives: When accusations are driven by jealousy, revenge, or the desire for profit—especially against prominent or “prosperity” leaders—they deviate from the biblical mandate.

    • Example: A ministry gossip that leverages a leader’s past missteps as entertainment or to discredit their work is engaging in a behavior that brings disrepute not only upon the individual but upon the church itself.

  3. Not a Substitute for Proper Internal Accountability:

    • Church’s Role: The process for addressing sin is meant to be handled within the community through a structured and discreet process—not via sensational media channels.

    • Outcome: Bypassing the internal mechanisms of correction (and instead airing “dirty laundry” publicly) fails to honor the biblical call to restore and reconcile.

In Summary

According to Ephesians 5:11, the biblical way today is to:

  • Reprove Sin: Hold individuals accountable—but do so in a manner that is aimed at restoring them, not at publicly humiliating or shaming them.

  • Avoid Unfruitful Darkness: Steer clear of behaviors that amplify scandal or gossip, especially when these actions serve personal agendas like revenge, jealousy, or profit.

  • Exercise Responsible Accountability: Ensure that any correction is evidence-based, internally managed, and aligned with biblical procedures for reconciliation.

By keeping these distinctions clear, believers can navigate the tension between upholding truth and maintaining the unity and witness of the church in our media-driven age—ensuring that the approach to accountability reflects Christ’s heart for restoration rather than the destructive patterns of modern gossip culture.

Evaluating the Trend: Scandal, Exposure, and the Christian TMZ Culture

The rise of Christian gossip ministries that produce mocking exposé-style content about pastors, based on brief video clips and associations, reflects a worldly, unbiblical trend rather than a God-ordained practice.

This trend mimics celebrity gossip media (TMZ-style journalism) rather than biblical discernment or righteous correction. The Bible warns against such behavior and emphasizes proper biblical protocols for addressing concerns.

1. The Accusation: Guilt by Association

The criticism is based on a famous TV Christian minister being seen at a party with a known sinner. Many assume guilt by mere association, leading to public mockery, scandal videos, and gossip-based content.

A. Did Jesus Not Do the Same?

This accusation is identical to what the Pharisees said about Jesus when He associated with sinners:

  • Luke 7:34 (KJV) – “The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!”

  • Jesus was wrongly accused of being sinful because He spent time with sinners.

  • Matthew 9:10-13 (KJV) – “Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners?”

  • Jesus responded: “I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”

++ Are modern gossip ministries acting like the Pharisees, condemning without knowing the full context?

B. Biblical Warnings Against Judging by Appearance

  • John 7:24 (KJV) – “Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.”

  • A short video clip does not reveal the full truth, intent, or heart behind an action.

  • 1 Samuel 16:7 (KJV) – “For the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart.”

++ Are Christians today judging famous ministers based on short video clips instead of true spiritual discernment?

2. The Sin of Mockery and Public Shaming

These Christian scandal-style ministries operate like secular gossip channels (TMZ, tabloid news) but claim to be doing God’s work. However, the Bible clearly warns against:

A. Mocking & Scoffing

  • Proverbs 19:29 (KJV) – “Judgments are prepared for scorners, and stripes for the back of fools.”

  • Proverbs 21:24 (KJV) – “Proud and haughty scorner is his name, who dealeth in proud wrath.”

  • Galatians 6:7 (KJV) – “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.”

++ Many of these channels mock and laugh at ministers—does this align with Christ’s heart?

B. Spreading Strife & Discord

  • Proverbs 6:16-19 (KJV) – God hates “he that soweth discord among brethren.”

  • James 3:5-6 (KJV) – The tongue is like a fire that sets the world on fire.

++ Are these gossip ministries spreading love and unity or division and hatred?

C. Making Money from Public Shame

Many “Christian exposé” channels have monetized their content, profiting from:

  • Ads, sponsorships, and donations based on scandal and controversy

  • Mocking preachers for clicks, likes, and financial gain

++ Are they truly exposing sin for righteousness’ sake—or for money, fame, and influence

3. Biblical Correction vs. Worldly Exposure

A. How the Bible Commands Christians to Handle Sin

Matthew 18:15-17 (KJV) – If a brother sins, go to him privately first before public exposure.

  • Christian media violates this command by going straight to public scandal.

Galatians 6:1 (KJV) – “Restore such an one in the spirit of meekness.”

  • Restoration, not humiliation, is the goal.

B. True Discernment vs. False Accusation

  • 1 Timothy 5:19 (KJV) – “Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses.”

  • Many exposé videos spread accusations with no proof, only assumptions and speculation.

++ Are these gossip ministries actually applying biblical correction, or are they acting like Pharisees?

4. The Hypocrisy of Modern “Christian” Gossip Ministries

A. The Same Ministries That Expose Others Often Fall Into Sin

Many Christian YouTubers who shamed other pastors have later been exposed for their own sins.

  • Matthew 7:3-5 (KJV) – “Why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?”

  • Romans 2:1 (KJV) – “Thou that judgest doest the same things.”

++ Are these ministries truly concerned about righteousness, or are they hypocrites?

B. Are They Building or Destroying the Body of Christ?

  • Ephesians 4:29 (KJV) – “Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying.”

  • Romans 14:19 (KJV) – “Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.”

++ Are these Christian exposé channels edifying the body, or tearing it apart for entertainment?

Conclusion: The Trend of Christian Gossip & Exposure Is Unbiblical

  1. Guilt by association is a Pharisaical error – Jesus Himself was accused of being a friend of sinners.

  2. Public mockery and exposure are condemned in Scripture – Proverbs calls it foolish and divisive.

  3. True biblical correction is private first, public only if necessary – But these ministries go public first.

  4. Many exposé channels profit off scandal – They are not motivated by righteousness, but by fame and money.

  5. Those who judge others often fall into sin themselves – The Bible warns against hypocrisy.

+ Final Thought: Instead of participating in the Christian TMZ culture, believers should pursue mercy, restoration, and biblical truth—not mockery, slander, and public shaming.

Matthew 5:7 (KJV)

“Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.”

Addressing Those Who Uncover the Famous Prophet, Pastor, Leader “Noah’s’ Sins

The biblical account of Noah’s sin and how his sons responded provides a powerful lesson in contrast to the modern trend of Christian scandal-exposing ministries that publicly air others’ sins for views and influence.

1. Noah’s Sin and His Sons’ Responses

Genesis 9:20-27 (KJV)

“And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard: And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent. And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without. And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father’s nakedness.”

Key Takeaways:

  1. Noah’s private failure – He became drunk and lay uncovered in his tent, a personal failure, not a public sin.

  2. Ham’s response – Instead of covering his father’s shame, he broadcasted it to others.

  3. Shem and Japheth’s response – They covered Noah’s nakedness with respect, without looking upon his shame.

  4. The consequence – Ham’s dishonor led to a generational curse, while Shem and Japheth received blessings.

2. Modern “Christian” Gossip Ministries vs. Biblical Teaching

Airing Dirty Laundry for Clicks

Many self-proclaimed “discernment” or “exposing” ministries function as modern-day Ham:

  • They publicly spread Christian leaders’ sins, weaknesses, or personal failures.

  • They monetize scandal, turning it into a form of entertainment.

  • They vilify without restoration, often acting without relationship, accountability, or biblical confrontation

 

.

How This Contradicts Biblical Principles

A. Proverbs 11:13 (KJV) – Keeping Confidence

“A talebearer revealeth secrets: but he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth the matter.”

  • The Bible calls revealing others’ faults talebearing (gossip), not discernment.

  • A faithful spirit seeks to restore, not destroy.

B. Matthew 18:15-17 (KJV) – Biblical Confrontation

“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.”

  • Jesus commanded private confrontation first before public exposure.

  • Scandal ministries skip this process and go straight to public shaming.

C. Galatians 6:1 (KJV) – Restoration, Not Destruction

“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.”

  • Restoration is the biblical goal, not tearing down.

  • A spirit of meekness is required, not prideful exposure.

3. The Motives Behind Exposing Others

While some claim they expose others for truth’s sake, the following motives are often at play:

A. Financial Gain

  • Many exposure ministries make thousands off monetized scandal videos, articles, and donations.

  • Is it about truth, or profit from another’s shame?

B. Self-Righteousness & Pride

  • They position themselves as the standard of holiness, yet often refuse accountability.

  • Luke 18:11 (KJV) – The Pharisee boasted about his righteousness while condemning others.

C. Hidden Sin in Their Own Lives

  • Matthew 7:3-5 (KJV) warns against focusing on another’s faults while ignoring your own.

  • Many “exposers” have later been caught in the same sins they exposed in others.

4. Jesus’ Example: Mercy Over Exposure

The Woman Caught in Adultery (John 8:1-11, KJV)

  • The Pharisees publicly exposed a woman’s sin, but Jesus responded with mercy and wisdom.

  • He did not justify her sin but told her “go, and sin no more”—a balance of truth and grace.

5. Conclusion: Be Like Shem & Japheth, Not Ham

In today’s digital age, we must ask: Are we covering or exposing?

  • Covering sin does not mean justifying it but handling it biblically and with love.

  • Many so-called “discernment ministries” resemble Ham, delighting in exposure rather than restoration.

  • True biblical correction is private first, public only when necessary, and always with the goal of redemption, not destruction.

Final Word:
“Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.” – Matthew 5:7 (KJV)

Social media today is a double-edged sword in the realm of accountability versus gossip. It offers unprecedented opportunities for transparency and community engagement, but its very nature can also turn accountability into a public spectacle—something far removed from the biblical model of correction and restoration.

1. The Potential for Positive Accountability

A. Transparency and Immediate Communication

  • Rapid Dissemination: Social media can quickly spread important information, making it a valuable tool when urgent action is required—especially in cases of clear abuse or ongoing harm.

  • Community Mobilization: Platforms allow believers to organize, share verified information, and support those who have been hurt. This can be a form of modern accountability if used responsibly.

B. Engaging in Constructive Dialogue

  • Building Relationships: When used correctly, social media can foster a space for constructive discussion, prayer, and a call to repentance—all aligned with the biblical mandate to reprove sin (cf. Ephesians 5:11) in a way that seeks restoration.

  • Educational Outreach: Churches and responsible leaders can use social media to educate their communities about proper accountability measures, emphasizing confidentiality, evidence, and the need for internal church discipline (Matthew 18:15‑17).

2. The Pitfalls of Social Media Misuse

A. The Rise of Sensationalism and Gossip

  • Gossip Ministries vs. Godly Accountability: Many modern “gossip ministries,” podcasts, and viral videos use social media to sensationalize and expose personal failures for profit or revenge. This approach starkly contrasts with the biblical call for discreet, restorative correction.

  • Public Shaming: When social media is used to publicly shame leaders without proper evidence or following the biblical process, it tends to promote division, foster a culture of judgment, and damage the overall witness of the church.

B. Lack of Context and Evidence

  • Fragmented Narratives: Social media often presents isolated clips or snippets without context, leading to hasty judgments that ignore the complexity of sin, repentance, and restoration.

  • Accountability Without Oversight: Unlike the careful, evidence-based approach advocated in Scripture (1 Timothy 5:19‑20), many social media platforms lack the oversight and discernment found in a trusted church community.

3. A Biblical Approach to Social Media Use

A. Upholding the Principles of Restoration

  • Private Correction First:

    • The biblical process (Matthew 18:15‑17) calls for addressing sin privately before any public discussion. A responsible use of social media would respect this process, sharing concerns only when internal avenues have been exhausted and after thorough verification.

  • Focus on Healing, Not Humiliation:

    • Ephesians 5:11 instructs believers to reprove sin rather than be in fellowship with “works of darkness.” This means that any public exposure must be carried out with the intent to restore rather than to humiliate or seek revenge.

B. Community and Church Leadership

  • Internal Channels Over Public Platforms:

    • When issues arise, the church’s leadership should be the primary avenue for accountability, not the court of public opinion on social media. Leaders and elders are best equipped to discern the truth and administer discipline in a loving manner.

  • Responsibility in Digital Engagement:

    • Christians are called to be “salt and light” (Matthew 5:13‑16), which means using social media to encourage, edify, and bring healing—not to engage in scandal or sensationalism that tarnishes the witness of Christ.

4. Striking a Balance in the Digital Age

In our media-saturated age, the challenge is to harness the benefits of social media while avoiding its pitfalls. This involves:

  • Developing a Discernment Culture:
    Encouraging believers to seek context, verify sources, and avoid knee-jerk reactions when engaging with scandalous content online.

  • Promoting Responsible Leadership:
    Church leaders can use their platforms to model how to address sin responsibly, emphasizing biblical processes of accountability and restoration rather than public shaming.

  • Engaging with Compassion:
    Even when social media exposes wrongdoing, the goal must remain reconciliation and healing, not retribution or viral fame. Genuine repentance and transformation should be the objective, echoing Christ’s call to “go, and sin no more.”

Conclusion

While social media has the power to amplify voices for justice and accountability, its misuse can quickly slide into the realm of gossip and public scandal. The biblical approach—rooted in discreet, loving correction aimed at restoration—provides a stark contrast to the sensationalism prevalent in many modern gossip ministries. By upholding these principles, Christians can navigate the digital landscape in a way that honors both the truth of the Gospel and the dignity of every person involved.

Of God’s Coming Acts 2 FLUSH of His Mighty, Purifying, Cleansing Wind, Which Would Be Ongoing and Purify What Ought to Be Recognized as “God’s Ministry Houses” (Not Ours)

This leader was written and posted as an article out September 2019, prior to COVID. I also posted a second leader word December of 2020 of “The Demas-ization of America,” and if you recall, ministries were all closed March 2020.

Trust me: The Firmly Set In Continuing Enormous Subculture of “Religious” Beliefs is more interested in the gift, their talent, their turf, their ownership of the many… plus their entertainment and their mega, micro many blessings, income, than the First Church-abiding Holy Fear of the Lord, also love of the everyday walk of life—normal, diverse humans: aliens, strangers, female, male expats, and walking-it-out angels…mostly? “atypical humans.”

And when that happened, I was in DFW and saw God’s reasons for what I called “God rebooting (also HIS) Churches.” However, that was before this last period, and I sense that merchandising, showbiz, ambition, and false authority, use of controlling (high style) witchcraft and adulterous psychic/occult influences—rather than the pure accepting including Holy Spirit—are still allowed to exist for creature comforts in most, if not all, of these same, similar ill-report houses.

Note:
This year, in late January 2025 to early this  March2025, I was given the  (recurring) impression that God is about to move AGAIN and that HE WILL AGAIN FLUSH OUT HIS CHRISTIAN MINISTRIES and that it WOULD ALSO BE ONGOING (plus it will take ALL of us, to handle This Move)…Thus: we all need to lower ourselves, repent, and adjust to what His Spirit wants us to do , to behave and to “easily entreated’ to ALL Human Relate.

Seek the Lord about “His Methodology” and “Tone”

Q. What is the meaning of Cross Body Unity, Sr Pastor Taveau D’Arcy’s  Ministry Equipping Vocabulary Term: LPV

Officially I, we define LPV as the basic human carnal condition after the Fall in Genesis 3—

Lust, Pride, and Vanity.

This condition is common across all races, genders, and global people groups. I submit, as a ministry Selah to the Christian body, that each and every one of us is “prone” to carry these tendencies, to play with them, and at times, allow them to try to master us in one way or another. They manifest in varying degrees, whether outwardly or inwardly, and can lead to addictions and behaviors that are easily discerned or more hidden.

I teach this concept to unify, to  defrag unjust accusation  from from persons, ministry land legalism, also “fear,” sin consciousness and the many squeamy “Puritan like” (fear based, naive, religious, weak holier than thou) unjust accusations…plus  the traditional religious spirit that often leads to Bible-thumping, witch-hunting, and more.

Each and every one of us is prone to LPV. However, by turning to Christ, accepting His help to self-govern, and watching over these tendencies, the born-again Christian—whether in leadership or as a layperson—will not bury these tendencies in secret shame, flaunt them in public, or display self-righteous pride in a Pharisaical manner.

For pride is perceived, not just from up close, but also from a distance, as Psalm 123 illustrates.

Note that this person is always turning to the Lord for ongoing help, seeking Christ’s guidance to oversee and manage their own mortal tendencies toward Lust, Pride, and Vanity.

The Root Core appears to be  Pride

PRIDE
People Might Perceiver “See” Our Superior Pride

In Psalm 123:3-4 (KJV), the psalmist expresses a deep awareness of the pride and oppression from others, particularly those in positions of authority. Here are the verses:

Psalm 123:3-4 (KJV)
“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 are at ease,

and with the contempt of the proud.”

Our Arrogant Pride

Inward Discernment of Superior Pride

In these verses, the psalmist describes how their (his, your, my, all of their) soul is “exceedingly filled with contempt” due to the pride and scorning of those who are “at ease” and “proud.” The psalmist’s inward discernment reveals how they feel oppressed by those who hold positions of superiority and take advantage of their position to look down upon others. These individuals are described as living in ease, showing no concern for the suffering of others, and displaying a sense of superiority that causes contempt toward those beneath them.

This can be understood as a recognition of superior pride—the kind of pride that arises from a position of power or privilege, where the prideful individual perceives themselves as above others, perhaps even beyond reproach. The psalmist, in contrast, acknowledges the painful effects of this pride on their soul, feeling the weight of the scorn and disdain from those who live without empathy or humility.

Key points of discernment:

  • The psalmist is deeply aware of the internal effects of prideful, superior individuals who oppress others, which is evident in the language of “exceedingly filled with contempt.”

  • This pride is inwardly felt not only by the psalmist but affects their spirit, showing how pride from others can manifest as emotional and spiritual distress.

  • The contrast is drawn between those who are at ease (comfortable in their pride and power) and the psalmist, who is calling for God’s mercy to overcome this scorn and oppression.

In this passage, the psalmist’s discernment of pride isn’t just intellectual but deeply emotional and spiritual. The psalmist is not only recognizing the pride from others but is also experiencing the effects of that pride, calling for God’s mercy and relief from the scorn they endure.


Point: Carnal Pride reproduces Leader, Follower, Person Accusation

“The mouth speaks what the heart is full of…” Luke 6:45

Gossip, accusation, and backbiting all stem from what fills the heart. As Luke 6:45 (KJV) states:

“A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.”

When someone is consumed by LPV—Lust, Pride, and Vanity, their heart becomes a breeding ground for false witness, gossip, and accusations:

  • Lust fuels envy and covetousness, leading to slander against those who have what one desires.

  • Pride fosters a superiority complex, driving someone to tear others down to elevate themselves.

  • Vanity causes obsession with appearances, leading to judgment, gossip, and false accusations to protect one’s own image.

Word Curses, Leader Accusing Pharisees

A Pharisaical, accusatory spirit is often a cover for deep insecurity—tearing others down to feel built up. But Jesus warns that our words expose the condition of our hearts, and idle, reckless speech brings accountability before God (Matthew 12:36-37).

Thus, a mouth filled with gossip and accusation reflects a heart not governed by Christ but by self-importance, fear, and unchecked LPV.

A spirit of false witness and pride fosters a willingness to gossip and accuse, often reflecting a Pharisaical mindset. This behavior is frequently rooted in low self-esteem, which in turn stems from LPV—Lust, Pride, and Vanity.

  • Lust – A craving for status, possessions, or control over others (including FOMO—fear of missing out).

  • Pride – A sense of superiority or inferiority, leading to self-righteous judgment.

  • Vanity – A senseless preoccupation with one’s image or perceived importance.

This toxic combination fuels gossip, false accusations, and divisive leadership, all of which stand in contrast to Christ’s teachings of humility, truth, and love.

 

LPV Original Bible Study

LUST PRIDE VANITY  UNHEALTHY ROOTS

What follows is a reflection by this author.

LPV Ministry Point’:

God’s Love and Human Persons and Making Real (Needing) Money (the ongoing relationship with money, making money, having money, not having all you feel you need) is a huge trigger LPV followed by HUGE ACCUSATION

The Extreme Warfare of LPV (Lust, Pride, Vanity)

Is Vanity One of the First Steps Toward Inhumanity?

Overview & Preface

The Apostle Paul writes to the Philippians:

“To write this to you for me is not grievous, but for you, it is safe. Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision. For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.”
— Philippians 3:1-3

Paul then recounts his testimony, describing his former achievements and how he ultimately considered them worthless compared to knowing Christ:

“I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ… I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ.”
— Philippians 3:8

Later, he warns with deep sorrow:

“For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.”
— Philippians 3:18-19

Surely, these conditions remain the same for many in pioneering, home-based, ministry, and business leadership today.

LPV Pitfalls

Lust

2 Peter 1:4 (KJV) Explained in Depth

Verse (KJV):
“Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.”

This verse is packed with theological meaning, and we will break it down word by word with Greek analysis and a biblical context.

1. Key Greek Words and Meaning

The New Testament was originally written in Greek, so we will analyze the Greek words for deeper understanding.

  1. “Whereby” (δι’ ὧν | di hōn)

    • This phrase means “through which” or “because of these.”

    • It refers back to 2 Peter 1:3, which speaks about God’s divine power giving believers everything needed for life and godliness.

  2. “Are given” (δεδώρηται | dedōrētai)

    • This verb is in the perfect tense, meaning it describes a completed action with ongoing effects.

    • It comes from doreomai (δωρέομαι), meaning “to grant or bestow freely.”

    • This indicates that God’s promises were given in the past but continue to have power in the present.

  3. “Exceeding great” (μέγιστα | megista)

    • This is the superlative form of megas (μέγας), meaning the greatest, most magnificent, or highest in rank.

    • The promises given are not just good, but the greatest possible promises.

  4. “Precious” (τίμια | timia)

    • Comes from timios (τίμιος), meaning valuable, honored, highly esteemed.

    • This word is often used for costly things, such as gold or rare treasures.

  5. “Promises” (ἐπαγγέλματα | epangelmata)

    • From epangelia (ἐπαγγελία), meaning a public proclamation, pledge, or divine assurance.

    • These are not just casual promises but binding declarations from God Himself.

  6. “That by these” (ἵνα διὰ τούτων | hina dia toutōn)

    • Hina (ἵνα) is a purpose clause, meaning “so that” or “in order that.”

    • Dia toutōn (διὰ τούτων) means “through these (promises).”

    • God’s promises have a specific purpose: enabling believers to partake in divine nature.

  7. “Ye might be partakers” (γένησθε κοινωνοὶ | genēsthe koinōnoi)

    • Genēsthe (γένησθε) is aorist subjunctive, meaning a one-time event with ongoing results.

    • Koinōnoi (κοινωνοὶ) means “sharers, participants, or partners.”

    • This implies that believers are not just observers but active participants in God’s divine nature.

  8. “Of the divine nature” (θείας φύσεως | theias physeōs)

    • Theias (θείας) means “divine, God-like, belonging to God.”

    • Physeōs (φύσεως) means “nature, essence, inborn character.”

    • This phrase indicates that believers receive a transformed nature that reflects God’s character.

  9. “Having escaped” (ἀποφυγόντες | apophygontes)

    • Apophygontes (ἀποφυγόντες) means “to flee away, to escape from captivity.”

    • The verb is in the aorist active participle, showing a decisive action that happened in the past but has lasting effects.

    • Believers have escaped from something enslaving—sin and corruption.

  10. “The corruption” (τῆς ἐν κόσμῳ φθορᾶς | tēs en kosmō phthoras)

    • Phthoras (φθορᾶς) means “decay, destruction, moral corruption, rottenness.”

    • This word is used for organic decay, like rotting flesh or a decomposing body.

    • Human nature, apart from God, is subject to decay and moral breakdown.

  11. “That is in the world” (τῆς ἐν κόσμῳ | tēs en kosmō)

    • Kosmos (κόσμος) here refers to the fallen world system, influenced by sin.

    • The corruption is not just in individuals but embedded in the entire world order.

  12. “Through lust” (ἐν ἐπιθυμίᾳ | en epithymia)

    • Epithymia (ἐπιθυμία) means “strong desire, craving, longing, especially for what is forbidden.”

    • It refers to sinful passion that leads people away from God’s will.

 Old Testament and Hebrew Concept : Lust and Christ’s Saving Help

Though this verse is in Greek, the Hebrew concept of corruption ties back to the Old Testament:

  • Psalm 16:10 (KJV) – “For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.”

    • The Hebrew word for corruption is shachath (שָׁחַת), meaning pit, destruction, decay.

    • This prophecy about Christ hints that corruption is the natural fate of fallen humanity, but Jesus overcame it.

  • Genesis 6:11-12 (KJV) – “The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.”

    • The word shachath is also used here, showing that sin leads to total societal and personal corruption.

Conclusion New Testament

2 Peter 1:4 teaches that human nature, apart from God, is decaying and morally corrupt, like organic matter breaking down. However, through Christ’s promises, believers escape this fate and partake in the divine nature—a transformation that makes them like God in character and holiness.

 Theological Significance

This verse teaches several profound theological truths:

  1. The Contrast Between Corruption and Divine Nature

    • Human nature is naturally corrupt and decaying, just like organic matter rotting over time.

    • However, through God’s promises, believers can escape this and take on a new, incorruptible nature.

  2. Corruption is Tied to Lust

    • The root cause of corruption is lust—a strong craving for things that oppose God’s will.

    • This aligns with James 1:14-15, which says that lust leads to sin, and sin brings death.

  3. Transformation Through God’s Promises

    • The verse implies that spiritual transformation comes through trusting God’s promises.

    • This is similar to Romans 12:2, which speaks of being transformed by the renewing of the mind.

  4. Participation in Divine Nature is a Real Change

    • The Greek word koinōnoi (partakers) suggests actual transformation, not just symbolic association.

    • This means believers do not just imitate God—they receive His character through the Holy Spirit.

  5. The “Escape” is a Past Event with Ongoing Effects

    • The verb apophygontes (having escaped) shows that this isn’t just a process but a decisive break from corruption.

    • This aligns with Colossians 1:13, which says believers have been delivered from the power of darkness.

Lust, Pride, and Vanity

Focus On Pride

A Deep Word Study on Pride & Vanity in the Old and New Testaments (Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek)

Pride and vanity are significant themes in the Bible, often associated with sin, rebellion, and the downfall of individuals and nations. Let’s analyze the original Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek words used for these concepts in both the Old and New Testaments.

I. PRIDE IN THE OLD TESTAMENT (HEBREW & ARAMAIC)

In Hebrew, multiple words convey the idea of pride, arrogance, or self-exaltation.

1. גָּאוֹן (gaʾōn) – Loftiness, Arrogance, Majesty

  • Root: גָּאָה (gaʾah) – “to rise, to be exalted, to swell.”

  • Meaning: This word can mean majesty or honor when referring to God, but arrogance or haughtiness when describing sinful human pride.

Examples:

  1. Proverbs 16:18 – “Pride (גָּאוֹן) goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.”

    • Here, gaʾōn refers to an inflated sense of self, leading to ruin.

  2. Isaiah 2:12 – “For the day of the LORD of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud (גָּאוֹן) and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low.”

2. זָדוֹן (zāḏôn) – Insolence, Presumption, Pride

  • Root: זִיד (zid) – “to act arrogantly, to boil over.”

  • Meaning: Pride that leads to presumption, reckless boldness, and rebellion.

Examples:

  1. Deuteronomy 17:12 – “And the man that will do presumptuously (זָדוֹן), and will not hearken unto the priest… even that man shall die.”

    • Zāḏôn describes an arrogant refusal to submit to God’s authority.

  2. Psalm 19:13 – “Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous (זָדוֹן) sins; let them not have dominion over me.”

    • The idea is prideful defiance of God’s law.

3. גָּבַהּ (gāḇah) – Loftiness, Haughtiness

  • Root: גָּבַהּ (gāḇah) – “to be high, exalted, lifted up.”

  • Meaning: Pride expressed in an exalted view of oneself.

Examples:

  1. Proverbs 21:4 – “An high (גָּבַהּ) look, and a proud heart, and the plowing of the wicked, is sin.”

  2. Isaiah 10:12 – “I will punish the fruit of the stout heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his high (גָּבַהּ) looks.”

4. רוּם (rūm) – Self-Exaltation, Arrogance

  • Meaning: Pride that lifts itself up above others.

  • Can be used positively when referring to God’s exaltation.

Examples:

  1. Psalm 131:1 – “LORD, my heart is not haughty (רוּם), nor mine eyes lofty.”

  2. Ezekiel 16:50 – “And they were haughty (רוּם), and committed abomination before me.”

    • Used for Sodom’s pride before its destruction.

II. PRIDE IN THE NEW TESTAMENT (GREEK)

1. ὑπερηφανία (hyperēphania) – Overbearing Pride, Arrogance

  • Root: ὑπέρ (hyper) = “above” + φαίνω (phainō) = “to shine” → “to shine above others.”

  • Meaning: Excessive pride, arrogance, self-importance.

Examples:

  1. Mark 7:22 – “Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride (ὑπερηφανία), foolishness.”

  2. James 4:6 – “God resisteth the proud (ὑπερηφάνοις), but giveth grace unto the humble.”

2. ἀλαζονεία (alazoneia) – Boastfulness, Vainglory

  • Root: ἀλαζών (alazōn) = “a braggart, a wanderer who boasts.”

  • Meaning: Pride that manifests as boastfulness, self-promotion, and exaggeration.

Examples:

  1. 1 John 2:16 – “For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride (ἀλαζονεία) of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.”

  2. James 4:16 – “But now ye rejoice in your boastings (ἀλαζονεία): all such rejoicing is evil.”

3. κενοδοξία (kenodoxia) – Empty Pride, Vainglory

  • Root: κενός (kenos) = “empty” + δόξα (doxa) = “glory.”

  • Meaning: False pride, hollow self-glorification.

Examples:

  1. Philippians 2:3 – “Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory (κενοδοξία); but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.”

Self Example: Ministry, Personal Competition

Our Roots of Ambitious FOMO??

Lust, pride, and vanity often take root when there is an intense focus on self, while simultaneously accusing others of not measuring up.

The book of Proverbs warns against such comparisons:

“He who compares himself with another is not wise.”

The Root of Competitive Pride

Competitive pride is deeply rooted in self-focus, ego, and hidden, self-promoting vanity. It thrives on comparison and accusation, driving individuals to elevate themselves at the expense of others.

Accuser: Brother Against Brother

After being cast out of the Garden of Eden, fallen human nature bore its first tragic fruit: envy and accusation.

Cain, driven by pride and fear of displacement, became envious of his own brother, Abel. Instead of maintaining spiritual discernment, self-control, and Godly leadership temperance, he lost control of his impulses.

In a moment of unchecked rage and competition, Cain murdered the very brother he had grown up with—all because of a need to dominate and be “over” others.

LPV
FOCUS ON VANITY

IN THE BIBLE

1. הֶבֶל (hebel) – Vanity, Futility, Vapor

  • Meaning: Emptiness, fleeting breath, meaningless pursuits.

Examples:

  1. Ecclesiastes 1:2 – “Vanity (הֶבֶל) of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.”

  2. Psalm 39:5 – “Verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity (הֶבֶל).”

2. μάταιος (mataios) – Futility, Worthlessness

  • Meaning: Something useless, without substance, or deceptive.

Examples:

  1. Titus 3:9 – “But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain (μάταιος).”

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

IV. SUMMARY

  • Pride in Hebrew:

    • Gaʾōn (arrogance, loftiness)

    • Zāḏôn (presumptuous pride)

    • Gāḇah (haughtiness)

    • Rūm (self-exaltation)

  • Pride in Greek:

    • Hyperēphania (arrogance)

    • Alazoneia (boastfulness)

    • Kenodoxia (empty pride)

  • Vanity:

    • Hebel (emptiness, futility)

    • Mataios (worthlessness)

These words highlight how pride and vanity corrupt the human heart, leading to destruction and estrangement from God.

The Interconnection of Accusation, Mammon, Superior Pride, and Vanity

According to the Holy Bible, the accuser, mammon, superior pride, and vanity are deeply interrelated. These forces impact and disrupt every God-ordained relationship:

  • Between God and each person

  • Between a person and their own self-worth

  • Between spouses in marriage

  • Between parents and their children

  • Between extended family members

  • Between individuals and their communities, churches, workplaces, and civil society

 

Mid-Article Conclusion: The Link Between Making a Living and Relationships

It becomes evident that earning a living is closely tied to all biblical, personal, leadership, marriage, community, national, and even supernatural interactions. Every aspect of human life revolves around relationships.

However, Lust, Pride, and Vanity (LPV) compete against the call to serve and relate to others in the holy fear of the Lord.

The Fear of the Lord: A Key to Preserving Relationships

Proverbs 2:1-5 provides God’s instruction for prioritizing life—which, if followed, would help safeguard all of the aforementioned relationships:

“My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;
So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;
Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding;
If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures; (a key secret!)
Then shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God.
For the Lord giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.
He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.” (Proverbs 2:1-5, KJV)

This passage reveals that seeking godly wisdom above material gain leads to true understanding, preserving all relationships through the fear of the Lord.

A Hero Role Model: Christ, the Non-Accusative Messiah

While enduring great undue pressure—whether from town gossip, intense spiritual warfare, complex family and personal relationships, or the deep need for inward knowledge of who He truly and eternally was—Jesus Christ remained steadfast. He fully understood the hearts and minds of every human, including those who accused Him. Yet, He never lost personal self-governance or wavered in His apostolic mission. He consistently secured His daily bread and fulfilled His ministry without ever failing or giving up.

(More on this at another time…)

Material wealth, prestige, and honor often come into play in both Godly relationships and in role modeling the Isaiah 11:3 non-accuser Messiah, Jesus Christ:

“He delighted in the fear of the Lord and did not judge by the sight of His eyes, nor make decisions based on what He heard.” (Isaiah 11:3)

Jesus: Without One Accuser’s Fault

A deep Bible study of Christ’s character and life reveals that He never lost control—whether in personal relationships, leadership, or public ministry. He wielded perfect authority, yet not once did He speak a demeaning, accusative, or bigoted word.

The King of Tyrus Analogy

A striking description of the rebellious, fallen dark angel, Satan (Lucifer) is found in Ezekiel 27 and 28. While we touch on both chapters here, a deeper exploration must wait for another time.
Note: while I  include both here..many apologies, for we don’t have room to go too deeply)

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ezekiel+27-28&version=KJV

However, we do call your attention to this:

EZEKIEL 28: 2-5 In the Bible King of Tyrus is an analogy to the false religious spirit of superior accusative human VANITY and relentless PRIDE which in fact, also paint clear pictures of a pictures of the Accuser, Lucifer, well known as satan, the very FIRST worship leader up in heaven.

“Because your heart is lifted up,
And you say, ‘I am a god,
I sit in the seat of gods,
In the midst of the seas,’


Yet you are a man, and not a god,


Though you set your heart as the heart of a god
(Behold, you are wiser than Daniel!


There is no secret that can be hidden from you!


With your wisdom and your understanding
You have gained riches for yourself,


And gathered gold and silver into your treasuries;


By your great wisdom in trade you have increased your riches,


And your heart is lifted up because of your riches,” NKJV

Meeting of The Church, All of Us…and the World System

The King of Tyre in Ezekiel 28 is often interpreted symbolically as representing Lucifer before his fall as well as a human ruler (likely Ithobaal II, King of Tyre). The passage starts with a prophetic judgment against the human ruler but then shifts into descriptions that seem beyond any mere mortal—referencing Eden, divine beauty, and an anointed cherub. This is why many theologians believe it serves as a dual prophecy:

  1. A literal prophecy against the historical King of Tyre – Condemning his pride, corruption, and economic exploitation.

  2. A symbolic depiction of Satan’s fall – Reflecting Lucifer’s original exalted state, his rebellion, and his ultimate downfall.

1. King of Tyre as a Symbol of Levitical Patriarchalism (LPV)

You asked if the King of Tyre represents LPV (Levitical Patriarchism View). The answer depends on how you define LPV. If you see it as a prideful, controlling, authoritarian system that distorts spiritual authority, then yes, the King of Tyre is a symbol of LPV.

  • Ezekiel 28:2 – “Because your heart is lifted up, and you have said, ‘I am a god, I sit in the seat of gods…’ yet you are a man, and not God.”

    • This mirrors prideful, authoritarian spiritual leadership, where leaders assume god-like authority over others rather than serving in humility.

  • Ezekiel 28:16-17 – Speaks of Tyre’s corruption, trafficking, and fall due to pride.

    • This reflects systems where power becomes about wealth, control, and dominion rather than true servanthood.

  • Lucifer before the fall (Ezekiel 28:12-15) was adorned with precious stones, perfect in beauty, and held a high position, yet pride led to his downfall. This is comparable to legalistic and authoritarian religious systems that start with divine intent but become oppressive.

A Less than Positive Connection to Genesis 3

In Genesis 3, Lucifer (the serpent) tempts Eve by distorting God’s word and appealing to pride and desire for control (“You will be like God” – Genesis 3:5). The King of Tyre, like Lucifer, fell because of pride and the desire to elevate himself above his rightful position. This is the same tactic used by the serpent in Eden—tempting humans with illegitimate authority, deception, and rebellion against God’s order.

Connection to Revelation 12:7-12

Revelation 12 describes a war in heaven where Michael and his angels defeat the dragon (Satan), who is cast down to earth. This aligns with the fall of Lucifer (Ezekiel 28, Isaiah 14) and marks the beginning of Satan’s reign over earthly systems, which includes the Babylonian system at play in the world today.

2. King of Tyre as a Symbol of the Babylonian System Today

The Babylonian system in Scripture represents a global, economic, political, and religious system driven by pride, corruption, materialism, and rebellion against God.

  • Revelation 17-18 describes Mystery Babylon as a corrupt, wealthy, and oppressive system that deceives nations and rules over kings.

  • Tyre was a major trade center known for wealth, luxury, and corruption, just like Babylon in Revelation.

Similarities Between Tyre, Babylon, and Today’s Global Systems:

  • Economic Corruption & Greed:

    • Tyre controlled commerce, Babylon controlled trade, and today’s global elites manipulate wealth and power for control.

  • Spiritual Deception & False Authority:

    • Tyre’s king claimed to be a god, Babylon promoted idolatry, and today we see false religious and political control.

  • Oppression & Persecution of the Righteous:

    • Tyre and Babylon crushed the weak, and in Revelation, Babylon is guilty of the blood of the saints (Rev 18:24).

Final Takeaways

  • The King of Tyre is a prototype of Lucifer before his fall, embodying pride, rebellion, and false authority.

  • He reflects the Babylonian system—a corrupt, deceptive world system of wealth, power, and false worship that still operates today.

  • He parallels Levitical Patriarchalism (if seen as an authoritarian, legalistic system) because of its **pride

  • LPV and authoritarian religious control that mirrors the prideful, rigid, hierarchical rule of the King of Tyre and Babylon.
  • Ultimately, Jesus Christ—the Non-Accuser Messiah—models the opposite of these systems, walking in humility, truth, and servant leadership rather than power-seeking or control.

The Job 41 Leviathan
I owe knowing the existence of the Job 41 due to having a divine appointment , before Texas, with Sister BJ, humble servant minister of the true Glory of God at the state of VA Calvary Campground(late 90’s)

The Hiding Darting, Sneaky Snake of Superior Hiding And Accusing Pride

JOB 41: The analogy of the serpentine LEVIATHAN: which is the example of satan , who was cast down from heaven because of his accusative vain EGO.

“Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook? or his tongue with a cord which thou lettest down? Canst thou put an hook into his nose? or bore his jaw through with a thorn?

Will he make many supplications unto thee? will he speak soft words unto thee?

Will he make a covenant with thee? wilt thou take him for a servant for ever? Wilt thou play with him as with a bird? or wilt thou bind him for thy maidens?

Shall the companions make a banquet of him? shall they part him among the merchants? Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons? or his head with fish spears?

Lay thine hand upon him, remember the battle, do no more. Behold, the hope of him is in vain: shall not one be cast down even at the sight of him? None is so fierce that dare stir him up: who then is able to stand before me?

Who hath prevented me, that I should repay him? whatsoever is under the whole heaven is mine. I will not conceal his parts, nor his power, nor his comely proportion.

Who can discover the face of his garment? or who can come to him with his double bridle? Who can open the doors of his face? his teeth are terrible round about.

His scales are his pride, shut up together as with a close seal. One is so near to another, that no air can come between them.

They are joined one to another, they stick together, that they cannot be sundered. By his neesings a light doth shine, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.

Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap out. Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a seething pot or caldron.

His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth. In his neck remaineth strength, and sorrow is turned into joy before him.

The flakes of his flesh are joined together: they are firm in themselves; they cannot be moved. His heart is as firm as a stone; yea, as hard as a piece of the nether millstone.

When he raiseth up himself, the mighty are afraid: by reason of breakings they purify themselves. The sword of him that layeth at him cannot hold: the spear, the dart, nor the habergeon.

He esteemeth iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood.

The arrow cannot make him flee: slingstones are turned with him into stubble. Darts are counted as stubble: he laugheth at the shaking of a spear.

Sharp stones are under him: he spreadeth sharp pointed things upon the mire. He maketh the deep to boil like a pot: he maketh the sea like a pot of ointment.

He maketh a path to shine after him; one would think the deep to be hoary. Upon earth there is not his like, who is made without fear.

He beholdeth all high things: he is a king over all the children of pride.” KJV

Money Mad and Mean Cruel Indifference

The Indifferent Sins of Sodom

Ezekiel 16:49 highlights the sins of Sodom, which are often not widely known: “Behold, this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom: pride, fullness of food, and abundance of idleness was in her daughters; neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.”

The Rich Man and the Poor Man Lazarus

Luke 16:19-31 describes the story of the rich man and the poor man Lazarus. The rich man, well-dressed and living in luxury, ignored the poor beggar, Lazarus, who lay suffering outside his door with running sores. Wild dogs came and licked his sores, yet the rich man did nothing to help.

The Rich Man was “Used to it”

The rich man in the story of Lazarus was likely “used to it” in the sense that he had grown accustomed to his life of privilege and luxury. His wealth had elevated him, creating a comfortable separation from the realities of suffering around him. Over time, this insulation from the struggles of others led to a kind of compassion fatigue. He had become so consumed with his own comforts that the suffering of others, like Lazarus, no longer stirred any genuine response or action in him.

His position made him “insulated” from the pain and poverty outside his gates. He likely became benign in the sense that he didn’t act out of malice but rather out of a passive indifference, perhaps not even fully aware of his own negligence. Over time, his wealth and position hardened his heart, making him unable or unwilling to engage with the suffering around him. This deep, passive disregard for others’ needs reflects a kind of spiritual blindness or apathy, where the privileged become disconnected from the reality of those who are marginalized or in pain.

Thus, the rich man’s privilege didn’t just provide comfort; it also distanced him from compassion, rendering him numb to the cries of the poor. This is a powerful illustration of how privilege can, over time, isolate a person from the burdens of others, leading to a heart that is both unfeeling and unresponsive.

The Author Mentions Psalm 118

The complete and exact opposite of the anathema to the survival of all Bible relationships is LPV (Lust, Pride, and Vanity).

Yet the anathema to all levels of LPV in each of us is to fully know (to discern, perceive, and allow ourselves to fully know, experience, and heed) the mercy of the Lord.

The Mercy of the Wonderful Lord

As we draw to a close, let us point out something more precious than money, security, or hard work—it is the mercy of the Heavenly Father, who is there 100 percent of the time.

I refer to the entirety of Psalm 118 as apostolic life coaching in miniature, as it accurately describes the ups and downs of those who live for God amidst the “fiery trials” and “amazing blessings” of real life. This includes the pressures of ministry, personal life, family, and the often steep and difficult situations that many face.

Taveau D’Arcy Creative Leadership Equipping, her ministry life coaching, and the DFW Leader Fellowship (IFFM) use Psalm 118 to maintain “good cheer” and to “keep heart balance,” offering a realistic, healthy, 5-fold office senior ministry perspective.

In the future, the leader will expound further in the Crossbody Unity Christian Leadership Movement… UNIVERSITY (a non-accredited apostolic leader seminary: “Psalm 118 Doctrines for a New Day”).

Psalm 118

(Key Ministry Verses Highlighted)

“O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: because his mercy endureth for ever. Let Israel now say, that his mercy endureth for ever. Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy endureth for ever. Let them now that fear the Lord say, that his mercy endureth for ever.

I called upon the Lord in distress: the Lord answered me, and set me in a large place. The Lord is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?”(Proverbs 29:25: “Fear of man brings a snare.”)

The Lord taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me.
It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man.
It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in princes.

All nations compassed me about: but in the name of the Lord will I destroy them.
They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: but in the name of the Lord I will destroy them.
They compassed me about like bees: they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the Lord I will destroy them.
Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall: but the Lord helped me.

The Lord is my strength and song, and is become my salvation.
The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous: the right hand of the Lord doeth valiantly.


The right hand of the Lord is exalted: the right hand of the Lord doeth valiantly.
I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord.
The Lord hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me over unto death.

Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will praise the Lord. This gate of the Lord, into which the righteous shall enter.
I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation.
The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner.

This is the Lord’s doing; it is marvelous in our eyes.
This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
Save now, I beseech thee, O Lord: O Lord, I beseech thee, send now prosperity.
Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the Lord: we have blessed you out of the house of the Lord.
God is the Lord, which hath shewed us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar.
Thou art my God, and I will praise thee: thou art my God, I will exalt thee.
O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.” (KJV)

In closing, please remember: God is Love.

Postscript
When researching Psalm 118, I came across a commentary that contrasted it with Exodus 15:2. It is akin to a baby Psalm 118, a pocket-sized end result overview. Both are heart-pure and free from the accuser’s enabling, avoiding the non-productive LPV:

“The Lord is my strength and song,
And He has become my salvation;
He is my God, and I will praise Him;
My father’s God, and I will exalt Him.”
— Exodus 15:2

In Him, many are granted ongoing blessings.

I AM FOR PEACE…THEY ARE FOR WAR

I Am for Peace, But They Are for War: Understanding Control and Relational Struggles

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

This is  part of www.ministryaiandi.com. “Part 1 Avoid Controllers ” March 31, 2025

Psalm 120:7 says, “I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.” This verse captures the emotional pain and confusion that often arises when a person seeks peace, reconciliation, and genuine understanding, but is met with resistance, hostility, or manipulation.

For those who live with integrity, desiring respectful dialogue and sincere relationships, encountering individuals who respond with control or aggression can be deeply disheartening.

Isaiah 1:18 — A Call for Reasoning

Isaiah 1:18 states, “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 is a divine invitation to open dialogue, genuine reflection, and reconciliation. It is God’s way of modeling how relationships can be restored when both parties approach with humility and a willingness to listen. However, not everyone responds in this spirit.

Ephesians 4:32 — The Call to Kindness and Forgiveness

Ephesians 4:32 says, “And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.” This verse exemplifies the spirit of grace and compassion that believers are called to embody. True kindness involves understanding, empathy, and the willingness to forgive rather than harbor resentment. It stands in stark contrast to the manipulative behaviors often seen in power-driven relationships.

When someone is committed to controlling others, kindness and tenderheartedness are often viewed as weaknesses to exploit. Rather than seeking mutual understanding, they may manipulate circumstances to maintain dominance. Genuine forgiveness, however, is not a submission to manipulation. It is a conscious choice to release bitterness while maintaining healthy boundaries.

The Nature of Controlling Relationships

When a person seeks peace, kindness, and reconciliation, they may find themselves entangled with individuals who operate through control, manipulation, or emotional dominance. This dynamic often stems from unresolved insecurities or a deep need for power. Control manifests in numerous ways:

  • Silent Treatment and Withholding: Refusing to engage or express affection as a form of punishment.
  • Power Plays: Creating a dynamic where the other person is forced to yield in order to restore peace.
  • Emotional Manipulation: Using guilt, shame, or blame to manipulate behaviors.
  • Cutting Off and Distancing: Abandoning the relationship without reasonable dialogue.

The Avoidance of Biblical Conflict Resolution

These individuals often avoid following biblical principles of reconciliation. Galatians 6:1 states, “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.” Similarly, Matthew 18:15 instructs believers to “go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone.” However, manipulative individuals frequently bypass these principles.

Instead of seeking resolution, they prefer indirect control through avoidance, gossip, or attempts to damage reputations. Their unwillingness to engage in one-on-one conversation reveals a deeper desire to maintain power rather than pursue peace.

The Spirit of Control and Self-Pity

Often, manipulative behavior is rooted in unresolved self-pity and fear. Rather than acknowledging their own shortcomings, these individuals project blame onto others. They thrive on keeping others emotionally tethered through confusion and guilt. The constant need to win at any cost stems from a fear of vulnerability and a refusal to engage in honest reflection.

Their avoidance of confrontation ensures they are never held accountable. Unlike those who operate in humility and truth, they manipulate others through calculated silence, passive-aggressive behavior, and the withholding of affection. Whether in family, business, or personal relationships, this behavior is destructive and deeply unkind.

Recognizing the Spirit of Control

It is crucial to discern when a person is operating from a spirit of control rather than seeking authentic resolution. Jesus modeled a life of truth, grace, and peacemaking, but He did not yield to manipulative demands. Instead, He maintained boundaries and chose the path of obedience to God.

Galatians 5:1 reminds us, “Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.” True freedom in Christ means living without the oppressive weight of someone else’s manipulative control.

Responding with Wisdom and Boundaries

  1. Stay Rooted in Peace: Romans 12:18 says, “If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.” Continue to model peace, but accept that some may reject it.

 

  1. Establish Boundaries: Proverbs 4:23 urges, “Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.” Boundaries protect your heart and mind from emotional manipulation.

 

  1. Refuse to Engage in Power Struggles: Like Jesus before Pilate (John 19:9-11), sometimes the most powerful response is remaining silent and not giving control over your emotions.

 

  1. Seek Support and Wise Counsel: Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 emphasizes the importance of supportive relationships. Find godly counsel and accountability to maintain strength.

Pray for Healing: Pray for those who operate through control. Matthew 5:44 reminds us to “love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.”

Conclusion

While you may encounter people who are “for war” despite your peaceful intentions, remember that your worth and identity are not defined by their actions. Continue to pursue peace, uphold boundaries, and trust God to bring healing and justice in His timing. The call to reason together remains, but not all will accept it. In those moments, rest in the knowledge that God sees your heart and honors your pursuit of reconciliation.

JESUS NARROW WAY VS RELIGIOUS, NARROW MINDED AND LEGALISTIC

Posted on by

Jesus’ Narrow Way vs Being Religious,

Narrow-Minded and Legalistic

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

Jesus taught about the Narrow Way in Matthew 7:13-14:

“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.”

This passage has often been misinterpreted to justify narrow-mindedness, harsh judgment, and legalistic behavior. However, Jesus’ teaching is not about adopting a hyper-religious, puritanical mindset. Instead, it’s a call to live a life of humility, love, and sincere devotion to God, rejecting the broad path of selfishness, sin, and pride.

Let’s explore the clear differences between walking in Jesus’ Narrow Way and falling into the traps of narrow-minded, legalistic, or religiously rigid thinking.

1. Jesus’ Narrow Way: A Path of Heart Transformation

Focuses on Relationship with God:

The Narrow Way is about cultivating a personal, ongoing relationship with Jesus Christ.

It emphasizes surrendering to God’s will, relying on His grace, and bearing spiritual fruit (Galatians 5:22-23).

Leads to Inner Transformation:

Walking in the Narrow Way is about allowing God to transform our hearts, minds, and actions.

This results in a life marked by love, humility, and forgiveness (Romans 12:2).

Promotes Spiritual Maturity:

The Narrow Way teaches discernment, wisdom, and the ability to grow from correction without condemnation.

It values seeking God’s truth above personal opinions or traditions.

Is Centered on Grace:

Jesus’ Way is not about perfection or proving righteousness but accepting His grace.

It acknowledges human frailty while pointing to God’s mercy and restoration.

2. Being Narrow-Minded: Fearful and Unyielding

Closed to New Wisdom:

Narrow-mindedness refuses to listen, learn, or grow.

It often rejects correction or opposing perspectives, even when they are rooted in biblical truth.

Motivated by Fear:

Rather than walking in faith, a narrow-minded person may operate from fear of change, fear of others, or fear of losing control.

Lacks Discernment:

Narrow-minded individuals may struggle to distinguish between cultural preferences and true biblical principles.

They resist anything unfamiliar, even if it aligns with God’s Word.

3. Legalism: Rules Over Relationship

External Focus:

Legalism emphasizes outward appearances, behaviors, and rule-keeping over the condition of the heart.

Critical and Judgmental:

Legalistic people tend to harshly judge others, often elevating minor issues to the level of essential doctrine.

They may neglect compassion, mercy, and the spirit of the law (Matthew 23:23).

Lacks Joy and Freedom:

Legalism results in burdensome religious practices devoid of joy and authentic connection with God.

Rejects Grace:

Instead of relying on the finished work of Christ, legalists often strive to earn righteousness through good works.

4. Religious Spirit: Performing Without Purpose

Focuses on Image Management:

A religious spirit prioritizes looking spiritually impressive to others while ignoring personal inner struggles.

Lacks Genuine Love:

Actions are often motivated by pride, duty, or fear rather than a sincere desire to serve God and others.

Resists the Holy Spirit:

Those with a religious spirit may reject the leading of the Holy Spirit in favor of rigid traditions.

Promotes Hypocrisy:

Jesus rebuked religious leaders who appeared righteous on the outside but were corrupt within (Matthew 23:27).

5. The Balanced Walk: Pursuing the Narrow Way with Grace and Humility

Teachable Spirit:

Jesus’ followers remain open to correction, learning, and growth.

They test everything against Scripture and rely on the Holy Spirit for wisdom (James 3:17).

Walking in Love:

Genuine love for God and others is the hallmark of those walking the Narrow Way.

Love covers offenses, pursues(relationship) reconciliation, and values people over opinions.

Living by Grace and Truth:

Jesus was full of both grace and truth (John 1:14). His followers are called to uphold truth while extending grace to others.

Seeking God’s Kingdom First:

The primary goal is to glorify God and reflect His character, rather than seeking to prove one’s own righteousness.

Conclusion

Walking the Narrow Way is not about legalism, judgment, or being afraid of new insights. It is about humbly pursuing God with sincerity, allowing Him to shape our hearts. Unlike the burdens of legalism and narrow-mindedness, the Narrow Way is a path of freedom, joy, and growing intimacy with Christ.

“Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” (Matthew 11:29-30)

Choosing the Narrow Way means surrendering to God’s will, extending grace to others, and walking in the power of His Spirit. It’s a journey that leads to true life, both now and for eternity.

PART 3 CHURCH HOPPING

“RELATIONSHIP DISRESPECT??”

Mega Cult “Famous Name Witch Watching System‘ to  ‘FNWW System”

and  if we don’t go First ….JESUS REALLY COMES ……


(C)2023, edited, added to 2025 Taveau D’Arcy All copyrights reserved under international copyright laws, in conjunction with AI

Around the Governing USA Local Regions, THESE STYLE of “HOPEFUL CHRISTIAN MINISTERS” …and each one of their devout, trusted members…are  suspecting , watching and clucking their tongues ASKING:

“ARE YOU, I + ALL THEM SUBMITTED?”

However, not a Pauline stance, for he resolutely voiced

“I determined not to know anything about anybody, but only Christ, and Him Crucified”

Context from Part 2: Taveau Addresses Local Authority and the Early Church

As previously noted in Part 2: Are You Submitted? JESUS AND SUBMISSION, historical records and biblical study indicate that the concept of authoritarian leadership within the First Church only fully emerged after Christ’s death and resurrection. Over time, Roman and Hellenistic influences infiltrated what was originally an Ephesians 5:21 model—a mutual submission in the holy fear of the Lord. This shift led to hierarchical structures and the eventual rise of the fivefold offices as positions of governance rather than simply gifts of service.

Sister Taveau states
Church attending, Hebrews 10:25 “fellowship with the saints” be they great or small is about “

A Christian saved bunch of relationships” And it’s the ‘ability to trust’ and to “feel respect” that draws us back, year after year.

Main Point: It’s ‘how” we act, together and apart that makes it work, that  makes a community, a cult, and/or a life enhancing ‘ gift from the Most high God’

Therefore it is the Christ Following many kinds of “human” kind RELATIONSHIPS we need to respect, enhance, edify, comfort strengthen, before the eyes of God and Man

Ephesians 4 Apostle Paul, in fact all of the Book of Ephesians, and every epistle and chapter and Book in the Old Testament and New, is ‘some form of  Abiding RELATIONSHIPS (God and man, people with with other people, family, marriage, neighbors, church and far more.

The Power of Relationships: Building Community or Cultivating Control

FAITH IN GOD, IN PRIVATE, IN PUBLIC “REAL LIFE”, IN WINNING MONEY, IN FATIGUING HUMAN PERSONS, IN LIFE SAVE COMMUNITY OR DEATH FILLED DYSFUNCTION

And it is how “we” each respect  and act (and also how we react), however  only Christ was perfect in this but we can began again..to improve

—both together and apart—that determines the outcome. Our choices shape whether we build a thriving community, a controlling cult, or a life-giving fellowship blessed by the Most High God.

Starting with Genesis 1-2 “prior to the Fall” it was designed, called ONLY and ALL  to be about humble, thriving, family feel sort of RELATIONSHIPS

At the heart of it all now, even with the human fallen nature,with Christ’s help there  are “intentional divine ” area relationships—the foundation upon which God’s kingdom operates. These connections must be:

  • Respected with honor and integrity.
  • Enhanced through love and wisdom.
  • Edified by encouragement and truth.
  • Strengthened in humility and mutual submission.
  • Comforting in times of need, reflecting Christ’s heart.

Before both God and man, it is our relationships—not mere religious systems—that testify to the authenticity of our faith.

The Bible: A Blueprint for Abiding Relationships

From Genesis to Revelation, Scripture is a continuous revelation of relationships:

  • God and mankind—from Adam to Christ’s redemptive work.
  • People with people—friendships, families, and nations.
  • Marriage—as a divine covenant reflecting Christ and the Church.
  • Neighbors—as those we are called to love as ourselves.
  • The Church—a body meant for unity, not division.

Apostle Paul, especially in Ephesians 4, emphasizes the call to unity and maturity in Christ, urging believers to walk in love, humility, and the bond of peace. Every epistle, every Old and New Testament passage, ultimately points to God’s design for relationship—built on love, truth, and abiding in Him.

The question we must ask ourselves is this: Are our relationships reflecting the heart of God, or are they shaped by control, division, and self-interest? Let us build with wisdom, always keeping Christ at the center.

Setting the Stage: Styles of Christian Ministry

Each God-formed individual is unique. Some believers choose to fully commit to a local church, while others remain independent in their walk with Christ. Both approaches have valid reasoning. Some seek structure, accountability, and deep community, while others have experienced spiritual control, manipulation, or even abuse and, as a result, are cautious about formal membership. Still, there are those who may be immature in their faith, flighty in their commitments, or in need of wise counsel and stability.

However, let it be said clearly:

Not everyone is “identical” (take the Myers Briggs Personality Test) Therefore not EVERY HUMAN BEING is called to be a “club member” or “fan” of a specific ministry culture. Church leaders must train their staff, elders, and leadership teams to respect all believers equally—not just those who conform to their preferred structures.

Dr. T also acknowledges that there happes to be ONE MORE new wave of free thinkers, organic innovators, and non-traditional believers is emerging within the Body of Christ. These individuals may not fit within conventional church models, yet they deeply love God and seek authentic community. For those who desire to build bridges across different ministry styles, let’s move forward in unity. For those who do not, that is also acceptable.

The Ministry “Member of The Firm” vs. A Spirit-Led Pilgrim

For some believers, church membership feels like being part of a stable, well-ordered “firm”—a place of predictable rhythms and structured belonging, much like an aged cask of fine wine. Others, however, experience spiritual claustrophobia in highly structured ministries. When leadership becomes excessively rigid, hierarchical, and bound by perfectionism, some may feel a divine leading to step away—not in rebellion, but in obedience to the Holy Spirit’s direction.

These individuals, whom I sometimes call “Pilgrims of the Spirit,” are not to be dismissed as backsliders or rebels. Many are simply responding to God’s unique call on their lives. This is why spiritual freedom must be respected. If God grants someone the liberty to move on, who are we to override His leading?

Apostle Taveau Makes a Great Point
Plus, St Paul warns of dangerous spiritual climates in 2 Timothy 3:1-6 and 1 Timothy 6:5,(now) cautioning believers to discern and sometimes flee toxic ministries. Likewise, some of us, through prayer and sensitivity to the Spirit, may be instructed to separate ourselves from certain movements or organizations.

Why is the list in each Bible verse a real “warning?” Because hurt, scar, use, abuse and defile many “RELATIONSHIPS” (real persons, not statistics, or bodies warming the pews)

Taveau asks Chat GPT

Purposes: just to cause controversy YES. BUT ALSO to relieve, to put a stop to word cursing,  the general Ole Boy accusing, Big Boss, undying local area, metrox, rural, suburban and urban BIG BOSS “CONDEMNATION

Let asks Chat GPT AI if ” Bible Thumping the Church Hopper” is Bible Scripture supported

Pastor Taveau asks Chat GPT AI

“Is it true that the Bible suggests going to a local church? If it does,  is there any scripture, any First Church apostolic teaching ‘commanding” taht ‘you must join’?

And did they watch for church hoppers, accuse them in the First Church?”

Chat GPT says:

The Bible does emphasize the importance of belonging to a local church community, actively participating, and submitting to the leadership and teachings of that community (Hebrews 10:24-25, 1 Peter 5:5). Being committed and connected to a specific local church provides accountability, spiritual growth, and deeper relationships within the community of believers. And does the Bible prohibit, command against, “going to more than one church?

(Implied : It is not a legalism to fellowship in more than one church) Chat AI: there can be valid reasons for attending multiple churches, such as seeking spiritual nourishment, addressing specific needs, or participating in different ministries. As long as there is a genuine desire to grow in faith and remain rooted in a Christian community, attending multiple churches may be acceptable. It becomes problematic only if it reflects a lack of commitment, spiritual restlessness, or a refusal to engage in genuine fellowship and discipleship.

In conclusion, the practice of meeting house to house in the early church reflected a close-knit community and shared commitment. Today, attending multiple churches can have different motivations and implications. While being connected to a local church is encouraged, attending multiple churches is not inherently sinful as long as it is done with the right motives and does not undermine the importance of commitment, submission, and genuine fellowship within a Christian community

.

MAKING A MAJOR POINT

 LOCAL ACCUSATION OF NORMAL EVERYDAY PEOPLE (“relationships under friendly fire”) for attending MORE THAN ONE Church

A prevailing false teaching has infiltrated both large and smaller local  ministries, and many small-town congregations, subtly embedding itself into Christian culture. This doctrine enables accusations against individuals without direct conversation or biblical due process. It affects everyday believers—those simply seeking to follow Christ—by branding them as disloyal, rebellious, or “church hoppers.”

This issue is not merely theoretical; it is an ongoing reality. It stems from a historical yet presently accepted Christian tradition that distorts biblical principles. While this writing does not delve into every demonic aberration that an inexperienced believer might face, it seeks to defrag the local accusation culture—making the church a safer space for genuine Christ-followers who are simply trying to live out their faith.

House to House vs. Multiple Churches: A Biblical Perspective

PASTOR TAVEAU ASKS CHAT AI:

“In the First Church, believers met ‘house to house.’ How does that compare to attending more than one church today? Was it considered a sin back then? A sign of being unsubmitted? Not in spiritual order?“

Chat GPT  RESPONDS:

In the early Christian church, believers often met in homes for worship and fellowship. Acts 2:46 describes how they “broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts.” Similarly, Acts 20:20 mentions that Paul taught “from house to house.” These gatherings were marked by close-knit community, spiritual unity, and mutual edification.

Attending multiple gatherings then vs. now:

  • In the First Church, “house to house” was not about visiting multiple denominations but rather the common way believers assembled. The early church did not have centralized buildings or hierarchical control over where individuals worshiped.
  • Today, attending multiple churches can serve various purposes: seeking diverse teaching, finding a safe spiritual environment, or simply exploring different expressions of faith. However, modern ministry culture—especially in certain charismatic, authoritarian, or patriarchal circles—often misinterprets this freedom as a lack of commitment, rebellion, or being “out of order.”

Why This Matters Now

Many modern ministry leaders—particularly those influenced by decades of Christian TV, media-driven celebrity  and contentious local area competive (mostly their private turf, fiercely guarding) local pastors,elder also lay and stern controlling “you must obey”  hierarchical control structures—have adopted a combined,  adversarial mindset toward believers who “move between churches”(TD says Minding their Business Church Hopping)

. This has led to ministry elite authoritarian (Not relationship respectful) condemning, hard line, fear-based legalistic “business minding ” (which I have seen in action and lived among that for a while

It is elite, it Bible stomps, name calls, starts many Jezebel rumors and more. It bears false witness as it will NOT RESPECT (I John 1:7″won’t walk in the light” is not submitted God’s whole counsel,  Galatians 6:1 and GET TO KNOW the “human persons” for it it elite, autocratic and poor me false witness, accusing, suspecting monitoring Pharieeism Big Shot-ism. It is not respectful, humble Good Neighbor Ephesians 4  as it is “the all knowing Boss” (Big I, Little you)

Season of Change

Pastor Taveau has witnessed this firsthand among grassroots, everyday believers—especially since celebrity ministry culture has taken root, emphasizing large followings, power structures, and control over God’s people rather than servant leadership.

Also, this is precisely why CROSS BODY UNITY (www.crossbodyunity.com) exists: to “Relationship Respect” the common persons…also to challenge these false narratives, empower believers to follow the Holy Spirit freely, and confront doctrines that distort biblical submission into authoritarian control.

JUST TO DIG OUT ANY”RELATIONISHIP ACCUSING” BIG  LEGALISM

Taveau asks ChatGPT

Is there a First Church New Testament, Christian Apostles submission law that is legalistic about the following

  • Going to church?
  • Joining a church?
  • Attending every meeting?
  • Attending more than one church?
  • Tithing?
  • Tithing to only one ministry?
  • Any other similar requirement?

And, do any local persons, ministers, pastors, apostles, ministerial groups, brands, or denominations have authority over an individual who does not want to attend or feels led by the Holy Spirit not to go? Does their authority extend to someone who is not an official member of their ministry, brand, style, branch, or denomination?

Chat GPT  Replies

Let’s break this down using biblical principles that relate to the questions you raised:

The New Testament offers clear guidelines on Christian fellowship and submission, but it does not lay out a legalistic framework or mandate for specific practices like attending church meetings, tithing, or membership to any one ministry, denomination, or group. Instead, the overarching principles are about following the leading of the Holy Spirit, personal conviction, and voluntary commitment to the body of Christ, without coercion.

Let’s break this down using biblical principles that relate to the questions you raised:

1. Is There a Submission Law Regarding Church Attendance or Joining a Church?

While the Bible commands believers to assemble together for worship and fellowship (Hebrews 10:25), it does not specify a legalistic requirement for attending every service or joining any particular denomination or church. Submission in the Bible is rooted in voluntary, loving service to God and others, not coerced attendance or participation in ministry groups.

  • Hebrews 10:25 (KJV):
    “Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.”
    This scripture encourages believers to meet together for mutual encouragement, especially as we approach the end times. However, it is not a command to attend every meeting or church activity if the person feels led by the Spirit to engage elsewhere.

  • Ephesians 4:11-12 (KJV):
    “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.”
    The gifts of leadership in the church are meant to edify and equip believers, but nowhere does this passage require obedience to human authority in such a way that prevents the Holy Spirit’s direction.

2. Is There a Requirement to Attend More Than One Church?

There is no biblical requirement to attend multiple churches. However, some Christians choose to engage with different churches to experience a broader fellowship, understand different perspectives, or meet their spiritual needs. It becomes problematic when this leads to lack of commitment or fragmented spiritual growth.

  • 1 Corinthians 1:10 (KJV):
    “Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.”
    Division within the body of Christ, such as attending too many churches without commitment to one, may hinder unity and growth in the local body. However, this is not a legalistic rule but a call for spiritual maturity and unity in purpose.

ASIDE : THERE IMUCH RELATIONSHIP ACCUSATION ALSO REGARDING TITHES
3.Is Tithing a Legalistic Requirement?

The Bible mentions tithing as a principle of giving to God, but it does not impose it as a legalistic requirement in the New Testament age. In the Old Testament, tithing was part of the Mosaic Law, but in the New Testament, believers are encouraged to give generously and cheerfully based on their heart’s motivation, not out of obligation or fear.

  • 2 Corinthians 9:7 (KJV):
    “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 principle emphasizes that giving is about personal conviction and freedom, not legalistic mandates.

  • Malachi 3:10 (KJV):
    “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 Old Testament passage encourages tithing, it is not a New Testament commandment. The principle of generosity and faithfulness to God is important, but the practice of tithing is not a binding law for Christians today.

4. Is Tithing to Only One Ministry Required?

There is no biblical requirement to tithe exclusively to one ministry or church. Believers are encouraged to give where they are spiritually fed, but how and where they give is ultimately between them and God.

  • Galatians 6:6 (KJV):
    “Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things.”
    This verse suggests that those who are spiritually fed should share in supporting the ministry and those who teach them. However, the Bible does not restrict giving to a single ministry or mandate that believers must tithe only to the place they are officially “members” of.

DR T’S DOCTRINAL, ALSO MINISTRY AND A PERSONAL POINT:

Does a Certain Individual Minister or Sr Pastor, or Apostle, Prophet Have “governing authority” Over YOU without YOUR being told that? MEANS and IF if You Are Not an (signed up) Official Member of Their Ministry? 

Chat GPT AI replies
In the New Testament, authority is described as servant leadership, not authoritarian rule. The apostles, pastors, and leaders are entrusted with guiding, teaching, and equipping believers, but they do not hold absolute authority over believers if the believer is not led by God to be part of their congregation or ministry.

  • 1 Peter 5:2-3 (KJV):
    “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.”
    Leaders are to serve and lead by example, not with a heavy hand of control. No pastor, minister, or apostle has the right to dictate where an individual should attend church or serve if they are being led by the Holy Spirit elsewhere.

  • Romans 14:4 (KJV):
    “Who art thou that judgest another man’s servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.”
    This passage reminds us that believers belong to God, not to any human leader. Judging or controlling others‘ choices regarding church attendance or ministry involvement is not the role of any earthly authority.

6. The Holy Spirit’s Leading vs. Man’s Authority

The Holy Spirit leads believers into the right places and decisions, and individuals must discern God’s will. If someone feels led by the Holy Spirit not to attend a specific ministry or to leave a congregation, they are not under human authority in the sense of being forced or controlled.

  • Acts 13:2-3 (KJV):
    “As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them. And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.”
    The Holy Spirit led the early church to send out Barnabas and Saul (Paul) for a specific mission. Believers today are still led by the Holy Spirit, and their involvement in ministry should be based on God’s leading rather than coercive authority from human leaders.

Conclusion:

The Bible does not impose legalistic rules about church attendance, membership, or tithing in a specific ministry. While there is an emphasis on commitment to the body of Christ and the importance of giving, each believer is ultimately responsible for discerning God’s leading in their lives.

Leaders are called to serve and guide but not to impose unbiblical authority over individuals who are not members of their ministry. A believer’s responsibility is to follow the Holy Spirit’s guidance, making decisions prayerfully and with a heart aligned with God’s will.

She asks Chat GPT to address:

Chat GPT AI answers

To clarify, there is no specific “law” in the Bible that mandates believers must attend a particular church or be “covered” by a local pastor in the strict sense of a legal requirement. The early church was more focused on communal fellowship, the sharing of the gospel, and spiritual growth, rather than adhering to structured, institutional rules about church membership.

That said, the Bible does strongly encourage believers to be part of a local Christian community for mutual encouragement, accountability, and growth in faith (Hebrews 10:24-25). However, this is not a “law” (TD Says, means it’s NOT GOSSIP FODDER OR ACCUSABLE)or commandment in the same way that certain Old Testament laws were binding. Rather, it’s a biblical principle for healthy spiritual life and community.

In the early church (First Church), the focus was on discipleship, fellowship, and spiritual commitment. They often met “house to house” (Acts 2:46), and the idea of being “covered” by a local pastor or leader wasn’t as formalized as it may be in many modern church structures. The New Testament emphasizes following the leadership of spiritual elders and submitting to those who teach and guide in the faith (1 Peter 5:5), but this submission was more about mutual respect and guidance in the Lord rather than a legalistic covering or requirement.

So, there’s no conflict in saying that while being part of a community and under spiritual leadership is encouraged, there was no strict, binding law requiring the exact structure we see in many churches today. The essence is about spiritual connection, growth, and mutual support, rather than rigid institutional rules.

Apostolic Taveau Discusses and asks CHAT GPT about the following
Discuss differences in ‘fellowship” as in an” alone individual person fellowshipping privately with the Lord”…. VERSUS “ 2-3 .a small group fellowship”  VERSUS  a larger corporate meeting, even a MEGA MINISTRY

Taveau says: There is a distinct difference between personal fellowship with the Lord and the corporate anointing that comes through gathering in a fellowship group. Both have their place and purpose in a believer’s life.Please expound:]

Chat GPT states:

Personal Fellowship: Encountering God Alone

Scripture shows that Jesus often withdrew to solitary places to pray (Luke 5:16). Isaiah 56:7 speaks of the Lord bringing His people to His holy mountain, a place of personal communion, peace, and divine revelation. This illustrates how personal time with God allows for clarity, peace, and revelation downloads that shape an individual’s walk with Christ.

Corporate Worship: The Power of Gathering Together

On the other hand, corporate gatherings carry a unique anointing. Hebrews 10:25 exhorts believers not to forsake assembling together because fellowship strengthens, edifies, and invites God’s commanded blessing (Psalm 133:1-3).

Matthew 18:20 assures that where two or three gather in His name, He is there among them. This collective anointing brings unity, encouragement, and the outpouring of spiritual gifts that one may not experience alone.

Pastor Taveau makes a point:
“If Matthew 18:20 teaches that where 2-3 are gathered in His Name, that He is “there” and may many people prefer that as opposed to a  large more formal fellowship. Due to the big Christian ministry dysfunction the USA primary “turf guarding, accusing religious systems” plus “from such turn away Perilous Times NOW: 2 Timothy 3:1-8, 1 Timothy 6:5

Then (to aide the pure hearted among these pastors in their training of their Ismael Mixture: Dr T inquires in irony”

So if 2-3 are gathered in His Name, and HE is THERE….

…THEN Where Do these Dysfunctional, Flee From Fierce Fellowship and their False Religion, Manipulation, and Control Come from?

Before Chat GPT responds; I say ….”the answer is SIMPLE in on every one of us, even the leaders” and Bible teaching and repentance will cure it”

But now ChatGPT continues

CHAT GPT states
If Christ is present where two or three are gathered in His name, then why do we see false religion, witch-watching, mind-reading, pressure for funds, backbiting, and control infiltrating some church groups? The answer lies in the human heart and the influence of man-made traditions and spiritual corruption.

  • False religion arises when rituals and rules replace genuine relationship with Christ (Mark 7:6-7).
  • Witch-watching and mind-reading occur when leaders or congregants assume supernatural insight into others’ lives without true discernment from the Holy Spirit, often leading to fear and control.
  • Pressure for funds emerges when monetary gain outweighs true ministry, contradicting the principle of cheerful giving (2 Corinthians 9:7).
  • Backbiting and control stem from spiritual pride, insecurity, or a desire for dominance, leading to Pharisaical judgment rather than Christ-like love (Galatians 5:15).

LAST CALL: THE PURE CALL TO BIBLE TEACH WHAT IS RIGHT

1. The Call to Discernment

True, Spirit-led gatherings should reflect Christ’s character—marked by humility, love, and mutual edification (Ephesians 4:2-3). When human agendas, fear tactics, or manipulative leadership take precedence, the gathering shifts away from God’s intended purpose.

Thus, believers must remain discerning and rooted in the Word, ensuring that whether they meet alone with God or in a corporate setting, their focus remains on Christ, His truth, and His love—not on external pressures, traditions, or manipulative influences.

2. Preach  Paul’s Freedom in Christ vs. Legalistic Practices

In Philippians 2:12, Paul encourages believers to “work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.” This highlights the personal relationship each believer has with God—meaning each person has the freedom to hear from God individually, guided by the Holy Spirit, and make decisions about their faith journey. This aligns with the idea of personal freedom and responsibility in one’s relationship with God.

However, in a community of believers, there is also a biblical expectation of mutual submission, humility, and accountability (Ephesians 5:21). But this submission is not about coercion or control, but rather about voluntary, Christ-like service to one another. So, the balance between personal freedom and the need for community is important.

3. The Issue with Legalistic Shepherding and “Apostles”

Dr Taveau, you seem to be describing a type of “shepherding movement” or “Levitical Patriarchism” (LP), where there is an emphasis on hierarchical structures, authoritative control, and judgment over individual choices. In these systems, people are often told they must be “submitted” to a local pastor or apostle, and if they’re not, they are labeled as rebellious, undisciplined, or spiritually “out of order.” There are rumors, accusations, and harsh judgments passed on people who don’t fit into the established mold, all in the name of maintaining authority and purity within the church.

These movements, often found within the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR), can sometimes create environments of spiritual control and fear. This is where the “Pharisaical” mindset you mentioned becomes problematic. It’s a form of controlling religion that prioritizes man-made rules, titles, and authority over the gospel’s call to love, freedom, and personal relationship with God.

Taveau asks Chat GPT
What Might Be a Future Church (Generation Now)Teaching of ” What Is Right?“

Chat GPT replies:

  1. Personal Responsibility: Scripture emphasizes that believers should work out their own salvation and seek God’s will individually (Philippians 2:12). This doesn’t mean that we reject community or leadership, but that each person must remain rooted in Christ and be discerning in following any spiritual leadership, including pastors or apostles.

  2. Submission in Community: While there is mutual submission in the Christian community (Ephesians 5:21), it is never meant to be coercive or authoritarian. The biblical example is one of servant leadership, not control (Matthew 20:25-28). No leader, whether a pastor or apostle, has the right to demand blind submission or to manipulate or control others. Leaders should be models of humility and service, guiding with love, not domination.

  3. Guard Against Rumors and Gossip: The Bible is clear about the harm of gossip and judgment. 1 Timothy 5:19-20 speaks about handling accusations against elders with care, and Matthew 18:15-17 provides the process for addressing grievances in a biblical manner—starting with a private conversation and escalating only if necessary. The type of “name-calling” and public accusation you’re describing seems to violate these principles.

  4. Healthy Discipleship: A healthy church is one where people are encouraged to hear from God for themselves, to grow in their faith, and to serve others with humility and love. While it’s important to be connected to a local church, it’s even more critical that this connection is based on mutual respect, encouragement, and a shared vision of the gospel, rather than fear or manipulation.

  5. Conclusion OFFICE MATURE “REAL RELATIONSHIP” RESPECT

The “freedom” in Christ is about following the Holy Spirit, discerning God’s will for yourself, and being part of a community that encourages growth and accountability in love. The legalistic structures you’ve described, where people are accused, controlled, and manipulated into submission, are not reflective of the gospel. They are a distortion of biblical principles and often resemble the “Pharisaical” spirit that Jesus warned against—focusing on outward appearance and control rather than inner transformation and genuine relationship with God.

Teach the truth that God values freedom in Him, mutual submission in love, and personal responsibility in hearing His voice. Encourage a church community where leaders model Christ’s humility and where people are free to grow, serve, and be discipled, not coerced or manipulated into a false sense of submission.

TAVEAU ASKS AI:

Q. “Have you ever heard of the term ‘church hopping’?”

AI Response:
Yes, I am familiar with the term “church hopping.” It refers to the practice of frequently changing or attending different churches without establishing long-term commitment to any particular congregation. Church hopping can involve visiting various churches regularly, often driven by a desire to experience different worship styles, teachings, or community dynamics.

While church hopping can have some positive aspects—such as exploring spiritual diversity, meeting various communities, and addressing specific needs—it can also have negative consequences, including lack of commitment, superficial engagement, and a fragmented spiritual journey. It is important to consider the motives behind church hopping. If done with a genuine desire to grow spiritually and engage in community, it may be beneficial. However, if done out of restlessness or a consumeristic mindset, it can hinder deep discipleship and accountability.

Ultimately, the goal is to find a church where you can actively participate, grow in faith, and contribute to the community, fostering long-term relationships and shared responsibility.

TAVEAU’S BOTTOM LINE PERSPECTIVE  on 40 years of ongoing  Pharisee

“CHURCH HOPPING” – THE TCL, CROSS BODY UNITY PERSPECTIVE

  1. It’s nobody’s business unless individuals are being rude, disorderly, or engaging in mischief.
  2. I wouldn’t have gotten so stirred up about this topic if I hadn’t Luke Eye witnessed  it so much. (since 1980s) And also been personally aggressed it for now reason (no relationship, they just peered into my “mind”..POINT These accusations often came from those who did not know the full context of why people might be attending multiple churches.
  3. From my experience, this issue tends to be prevalent in show biz effected, bitter but trying hard mostly fundraising  charismatic communities where they are into “themselves, their gift, their turf, their business ministry success” but are not ‘servant leader” RELATIONSHIP ORIENTED (more on being blessed and ambitious, “winning” (I am not OF these but I am PRO the humans)

THE CROSS BODY UNITY (CBU) APPROACH:

Traditional Pastor Respect with Freedom and Balance

As believers, we are encouraged to fellowship in the church that God sends us to (Hebrews 10:25). However, if the church you are attending is a dysfunctional ministry—one that is operating in a way that is harmful or abusive—then leave. Paul gives clear guidance on this in 2 Timothy 3:1-5 and 1 Timothy 6:5. But this is not about leaving because of being critical, upset, or fault-finding. You should only leave after:

  • You’ve prayed, forgiven, and tried to stay committed.
  • You’ve attempted to confront the situation face to face (Matthew 18:15-17).
  • The negative fruit of the ministry is harming you or your family—whether that’s affecting your children, marriage, health, or overall well-being.
  • Then—and only then—flee to a more normal fellowship that aligns with your spiritual well-being.

When seeking a church, remember that it’s essential to:

  • Go where God leads you.
  • Commit, be faithful, serve, and support the body of Christ.
  • Remain there as long as God sends you.

In conclusion, “church hopping” isn’t inherently wrong, but it’s important to approach it with discernment and a heart for genuine spiritual growth and community. The goal is to find a place where you can commit and build deep, lasting relationships, and where you can grow in faith and service to others. If you’re in a situation that is spiritually unhealthy, God may lead you elsewhere, but this decision should come after prayer, healing, and honest confrontation.

! Below are the relevant KJV Bible Scriptures that support the points about church commitment, church hopping, and the idea of leaving a dysfunctional ministry, as well as the principle of obedience to God’s leading

1. Fellowship in a Church God Sends You To

  • Hebrews 10:25:
    “Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.”
    This verse stresses the importance of gathering together with other believers in a local church for mutual encouragement. It reminds us that church fellowship is vital for our spiritual growth and strength.

2. Commitment and Service in the Local Church

  • Romans 12:4-5:
    “For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office: So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.”
    This passage emphasizes the idea of being part of a unified body (the church) where each person has a specific role to play. Commitment and service within a local church are essential to the health and growth of the church body as a whole.

  • 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.”
    The metaphor of the body of Christ teaches us that each believer is a part of the whole body, and commitment to this community is necessary to fully contribute to the work of God.

3. If the Ministry is Dysfunctional, Leave After Prayer, Confrontation, and Exhausting Efforts

  • 2 Timothy 3:1-5:
    “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.”
    Paul’s warning here is about dysfunctional ministries that operate under a false godliness. When you recognize this kind of behavior, Paul commands to turn away from them. You should leave a ministry that is abusive, toxic, or manipulative.

  • 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.”
    This verse reinforces the idea that if a ministry becomes perverse, corrupt, and focused on gain rather than truth and the gospel, it is appropriate to withdraw from that ministry.

4. Confronting and Seeking Reconciliation Before Leaving

  • Matthew 18:15-17:
    “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. But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican.”
    This passage encourages confrontation and reconciliation before making any decisions to leave or break fellowship. Private efforts to resolve issues should always come first. If the conflict remains unresolved, bring others in for accountability, and only then take further action.

5. Only Leave When You Are Directed by God

  • Acts 16:6-10:
    “Now when they had gone throughout Phrygia and the region of Galatia, and were forbidden of the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia, After they were come to Mysia, they assayed to go into Bithynia: but the Spirit suffered them not. And they passing by Mysia came down to Troas. And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us. And after he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavoured to go into Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the Lord had called us for to preach the gospel unto them.”
    This passage shows Paul’s obedience to the leading of the Holy Spirit in determining where to minister. If God is leading you to a particular church or fellowship, follow His direction with faith, trusting that He will guide your steps.

  • Romans 8:14:
    “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.”
    Following the Holy Spirit’s guidance is key in all decisions, including where to fellowship and when to leave. It is essential that God directs you to the place where you can thrive spiritually, and He will make it clear when it’s time to move.

6. When God Leads, Commit, Serve, and Stay

  • Psalm 92:13:
    “Those that be planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God.”
    This passage stresses the importance of being planted in a local church. When you are committed and rooted in the right place, you will grow spiritually and flourish.

  • Colossians 3:23-24:
    “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.”
    Whether serving in the local church or in other areas of ministry, doing it with a heart for God is paramount. Commitment to the work of the church is part of serving God with your whole heart.

Summary

  1. Fellowship in a church is essential for spiritual growth (Hebrews 10:25, Romans 12:4-5).
  2. Commitment to a church body is important, and we are called to serve (1 Corinthians 12:12-14).
  3. Leave dysfunctional ministries only after prayer and confrontation, not out of bitterness or fault-finding (2 Timothy 3:1-5, 1 Timothy 6:5).
  4. Confrontation and reconciliation should precede leaving (Matthew 18:15-17).
  5. Follow God’s leading in finding a church and committing to it (Acts 16:6-10, Romans 8:14).
  6. Stay committed to where God has placed you, serving faithfully (Psalm 92:13, Colossians 3:23-24).

FIRST THINGS FIRST: What Was Jesus’ Main Mission Thrust?

CHAT GPT AI RESPONDS:

Jesus Christ’s mission on earth can be summarized through two core themes: love and salvation. These principles were the bedrock of His teachings, the essence of His ministry, and the fulfillment of God’s divine plan.

  1. Love: At the heart of Jesus’ ministry was the command to love. He emphasized love as the greatest commandment—love for God with all one’s heart, soul, and mind, and love for one’s neighbor as oneself. This form of love was not just a sentiment but a call to action, encompassing forgiveness, grace, and compassion for others.

  2. Salvation: Another fundamental aspect of Jesus’ message was salvation. He proclaimed Himself as the way, the truth, and the life, offering humanity the opportunity for reconciliation with God through faith in Him. Jesus taught that through His sacrificial death, humanity could be forgiven for their sins and granted eternal life with God. This path to salvation was not achieved by works alone but by faith in Jesus Christ as the Son of God.

Alongside these core themes, Jesus also addressed key issues of His time:

  • Repentance: He called people to turn away from sin and embrace righteousness.
  • Faith: Jesus emphasized the need for faith in Him as the key to eternal life.
  • Justice and Mercy: He challenged the societal norms that upheld injustice, calling for a radical love and care for the marginalized.

AI ANSWERS:

Jesus’ Authority with His Disciples and the Apostles:

Jesus, in His earthly ministry, demonstrated both authority and servant leadership, and this pattern was also carried over by the apostles in their leadership of the early Church. Here’s a deeper exploration of the authority exhibited by Jesus and His apostles:

JESUS’ AUTHORITY

  1. Teaching Authority: Jesus’ teaching was distinctive in its authority. Unlike the scribes and Pharisees, who often quoted other teachers or traditions, Jesus spoke with direct, divine authority. He taught with clarity, power, and wisdom, presenting Himself as the ultimate revelation of God’s will. His teachings were rooted in truth and challenged conventional wisdom, calling people to a deeper understanding of God’s commandments and the Kingdom of Heaven.

  2. Commanding Authority: Jesus gave direct, often radical commands to His disciples, such as “Follow Me,” “Leave your nets,” and “Go and make disciples of all nations.” His commands were always purposeful and aligned with His divine mission. They were not suggestions but directives that required full commitment and obedience from His followers. This authoritative leadership established His role as the guiding figure for the disciples’ lives and ministry.

  3. Miraculous Authority: Jesus’ miracles were an outward display of His divine authority. His power over nature, disease, and death underscored His identity as the Son of God. Whether calming storms, healing the sick, or raising the dead, His miracles served not only as signs of His compassion but also as affirmations of His divine authority.

THE APOSTLES’ AUTHORITY

  1. Authority Derived from Jesus: The apostles’ authority came directly from Jesus. As His chosen representatives, they were empowered to carry out His work. Jesus commissioned them to spread His message and to establish the early Church. Their authority was not self-appointed; it was given to them by Christ, and they exercised it with the understanding that they were stewards of His mission.

  2. Teaching and Proclaiming Authority: Much like Jesus, the apostles taught with authority. They shared the Gospel, explained Jesus’ teachings, and called people to repentance and faith. Their role in teaching and preaching was foundational for the establishment of Christian doctrine and the growth of the early Church. They were entrusted with the responsibility of preserving and passing on the teachings of Christ.

  3. Church Governance: The apostles also exercised authority in matters of Church governance. They made decisions regarding doctrine, resolved disputes, and appointed leaders within the growing Christian community. The apostles played a key role in establishing order and unity in the early Church, ensuring that the message of Jesus was faithfully communicated and lived out.

  4. Miraculous Ministry: Like Jesus, the apostles were granted power to perform miracles. These signs and wonders served as confirmations of their apostolic authority and helped to validate their message. Their miracles were a testament to the ongoing work of the Holy Spirit in the Church, just as Jesus had demonstrated the power of the Spirit during His ministry.

TD ASKS CHAT GPT:
How did the First Church and Christ regard Ephesians 5:21 (“mutual submission”)?

AI RESPONDS:
Ephesians 5:21, “Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ,” emphasizes mutual submission within the Christian community. This concept calls for humility and respect toward others, urging believers to act in love and unity.

In Jesus’ ministry, we can see an example of submission, though it was not always expressed through a hierarchical “chain of command.” Jesus modeled servant leadership, showing His disciples that true greatness lies in serving others, not in lording over them (Matthew 20:28). He emphasized humility and the importance of placing others before oneself.

For instance, when Jesus washed His disciples’ feet, He demonstrated submission to them, showing that even the leader of the group is to serve. His leadership was not about enforcing authority but about nurturing, equipping, and serving.

The apostles followed this example in the early Church, exercising authority while also emphasizing mutual submission. While they did provide guidance and leadership, their authority was not about power but about serving and building up the Church.

Thus, Bible Ephesians 5:21 “whole Body of Christ” mutual submission in the fear of the Lord aligns with the Christian call to live in harmony, respecting one another in love and humility. The concept encourages a collaborative and humble relationship, where leadership is exercised through servanthood and selflessness.

Mutual Submission and the Chain of Command:

In regards to mutual submission as described in Ephesians 5:21, Jesus indeed modeled this principle, although in a unique and profound way. Jesus’ leadership was not about asserting dominance but about submitting Himself to the will of the Father, even unto death. Throughout His ministry, He demonstrated humility and servant leadership, laying down His life for His followers (John 15:13). He did not lord His authority over His disciples but instead served them, teaching them to do the same.

While Ephesians 5:21 speaks to the principle of mutual submission in the body of Christ, where individuals honor one another in reverence to Christ, Jesus’ leadership exemplified this through His sacrificial love, His willingness to serve, and His ultimate submission to God’s will. The apostles, following Jesus’ example, likewise modeled mutual submission within the early Church, leading by serving, not by dominating.

Thus, the “chain of command” within the body of Christ is not a rigid hierarchy but a structure based on servant leadership and mutual respect, with Christ at the head. In this sense, mutual submission in the fear of the Lord is about acknowledging Christ’s authority and following His example of sacrificial leadership.

TAVEAU ASKS:
Did Jesus discuss submission and use it in His governing authority with the 12 apostles? Did they model this in the First Church, and what about now?

AI RESPONDS:
Yes, Jesus did discuss and model submission in His ministry, though not in the sense of enforcing blind obedience or a rigid hierarchical structure. Instead, He taught submission as a heart attitude marked by humility and service, a principle He emphasized for His apostles and the broader community.

JESUS AND SUBMISSION:

While Jesus had authority over His disciples, He also emphasized submission through servanthood. For instance, He told His apostles that “whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant” (Matthew 20:26). He modeled this in the ultimate act of submission when He washed their feet (John 13:1-17), teaching them that leadership is about serving others, not exercising control.

THE EARLY CHURCH AND SUBMISSION:

The apostles continued to follow this model of servant leadership in the early Church. They exercised authority, but it was always in the context of love, mutual submission, and the purpose of building up the Body of Christ. They taught believers to submit to one another and to respect the roles of leadership within the Church, but their leadership was grounded in humility, not power.

Ephesians 5:21’s call for mutual submission was a cornerstone of the early Christian community, ensuring that relationships within the Church were marked by respect, love, and unity, with each person submitting to the needs of others in reverence for Christ.

SUBMISSION IN THE CHURCH TODAY:

In the modern Church, the concept of submission is still relevant. Leadership in the Church today should reflect the humility and servanthood modeled by Jesus. While various denominations and traditions may interpret leadership and submission differently, the core principle remains: leadership in the Church should not be authoritarian but should reflect the love, humility, and servant-hearted attitude of Christ.

Ultimately, submission in the Church today involves serving one another, submitting to God’s authority, and humbling ourselves to build up the Body of Christ in love and unity. The example of Jesus continues to serve as the model for how Christians should approach leadership and submission in the Church today.

The early Church emphasized ( this is servant leader Cross Body Unity’ ministry’s preaching style!) relational leadership, mutual submission, and collaboration rather than a rigid hierarchical structure. It was focused on the transformation of individuals and the establishment of a community marked by love, service, and the leading of the Holy Spirit.

TD ASKS Ai:
Q. How would you describe Jesus the Messiah’s form of government for the apostle and the church like the Hebrew Temple style order or what?

Ai RESPONDS:
Jesus did not establish a specific governmental or administrative structure for His apostles or the early Church that mimicked the Hebrew Temple style order. While the Hebrew Temple had a hierarchical structure with various roles and responsibilities, Jesus’ approach to governance within the Church differed in significant ways.

Jesus emphasized a relational and transformative model of leadership based on love, servanthood, and mutual submission. He taught His disciples to lead by example, to serve one another, and to prioritize humility and selflessness. This approach stood in contrast to the hierarchical structures and power dynamics often associated with institutionalized religious systems.

Rather than establishing a formal organizational structure, Jesus focused on cultivating a community of believers who would follow His teachings and the leading of the Holy Spirit. The early Church, under the guidance of the apostles, operated as a relational and decentralized community where members shared resources, supported one another, and sought the leading of the Spirit in decision-making.

The apostles played a crucial role in teaching, guiding, and establishing the early Christian communities. They were entrusted with the responsibility of transmitting Jesus’ teachings and providing spiritual oversight. However, their leadership was not characterized by a rigid hierarchy but rather by a sense of collaboration and shared responsibility.

In the early Church, decisions were often made collectively through consensus, prayer, and seeking the guidance of the Holy Spirit (Acts 15:28). The apostles and other leaders worked together in unity, utilizing their gifts and discernment to ensure the growth and welfare of the Church.

It is important to note that as the Church expanded and encountered different cultural contexts, it did adopt certain organizational structures and leadership roles to effectively carry out its mission. However, the core principles of servant leadership, love, and mutual submission remained foundational.

In summary, Jesus’ form of government for the apostles and the early Church emphasized relational leadership, mutual submission, and collaboration rather than a rigid hierarchical structure. It was focused on the transformation of individuals and the establishment of a community marked by love, service, and the leading of the Holy Spirit.

 

TD ASKS:Q. When did the use of hierarchy in ministry come into the First Church?
CHAT GPT REPLIES:
The use of hierarchy in ministry within the early Church developed over time, as the Church grew and faced various challenges and organizational needs. While the early Church initially operated in a more decentralized and communal manner, certain hierarchical structures and leadership roles gradually emerged.
In the New Testament, we see indications of developing hierarchical structures and roles within the early Church:
The Twelve Apostles: The apostles held a unique and foundational role in the early Church. They were specifically chosen by Jesus, and they played a significant part in establishing and guiding the early Christian communities. Their authority and leadership were widely recognized and respected.
Elders and Overseers: As the Church expanded, there was a need for local leadership and governance. The terms “elders” and “overseers” are used interchangeably in the New Testament to refer to those responsible for shepherding and overseeing the local congregations. These leaders provided spiritual guidance, taught, and exercised authority within their respective communities.
Deacons: The role of deacons emerged to address practical and administrative needs within the Church. The first mention of deacons is found in Acts 6, where individuals were chosen to serve in practical matters, such as distributing food to widows. The role of deacons involved serving the community, assisting with practical needs, and supporting the work of the elders.
Pauline Epistles: In the letters written by the apostle Paul, we see further development of hierarchical structures within the Church. Paul instructs Timothy and Titus, his trusted co-workers, to appoint overseers and deacons in various local churches. These instructions reflect a growing need for leadership structures to ensure the proper functioning and order within the expanding Church.
NOTE THIS ….It’s important to note that while hierarchy emerged in the early Church, the principles of servant leadership, mutual submission, and love were still emphasized. Leaders were expected to shepherd and serve the flock, rather than exerting authoritarian control.
The development of hierarchy in the early Church can be seen as a response to the growing needs of the community and the desire for effective governance and organization. However, it is essential to approach the study of Church history with an understanding that the specific structures and practices varied across different regions and communities during that time.

I am interested in any Messiah, First Church AUTHORITARIAN ROOTS...When did (and also now) where does authoritarian control come into the First Church?
CHAT GPT REPLIES:
Authoritarian control, similar to the concepts of hierarchy and power dynamics, can emerge in any organization or institution, including the Church.
While the early Church initially operated with a sense of equality and mutual submission, over time, as the Church grew and faced various challenges,elements of authoritarian control may have entered certain contexts within the Church. It is important to note that these instances were not universal across the entire early Church but occurred in specific regions or communities.
Historical Context: As the Church expanded beyond its Jewish roots and encountered different cultures and societal structures, it faced the influence of Roman and Hellenistic society, which often had authoritarian power structures. In some cases, these societal norms could have influenced the leadership and governance structures within certain Christian communities.
Emergence of Bishops and Clergy: As the Church grew and organized itself, the role of bishops and clergy emerged. This development brought with it the potential for centralized authority and hierarchical structures. Over time, this led to the development of a clerical class with increasing power and control within the Church.
Church-State Relationship:
In later centuries, particularly after Christianity became the official religion of the Roman Empire, the Church became entwined with political power. This fusion of Church and state led to instances where the Church wielded significant authority and employed authoritarian control, particularly in matters of doctrine and discipline.
Modern Context:
In the present day, authoritarian control can still exist in certain parts of the Church, although it is important to recognize that this is not the case universally. Within various Christian denominations and organizations, issues of power, control, and authoritarian leadership can arise. These instances can manifest in oppressive leadership styles, lack of accountability, and misuse of authority.
It is important to distinguish between the presence of authoritarian control within certain contexts and the core teachings and principles of Christianity. The teachings of Jesus emphasize love, humility, servant leadership, and mutual submission. Christians are called to discern and challenge any forms of authoritarian control that contradict these teachings, and to strive for leadership that is characterized by the spirit of Christ’s example

CHAT GPT ANSWERS:
The interpretation and application of Ephesians 5:21, which states, “Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ,” can vary among different Christian traditions and individuals. It is important to note that the interpretation of this verse should be done in the context of the broader teachings of the Bible.
In the context of the First Church, as described in the New Testament, the emphasis was on love, humility, and mutual submission among believers. Jesus taught His disciples to serve one another and to prioritize love and unity within the community of believers. The apostles, who were appointed by Jesus, also emphasized the importance of unity, humility, and mutual support among the members of the early Church.
While there were leadership roles within the early Church, such as apostles, elders, and pastors, the focus was not on establishing an authoritarian big boss or a hierarchical structure. Instead, leadership was intended to serve and shepherd the community, following the example of Jesus as the Good Shepherd (John 10:11).
It is important to remember that the Bible encourages believers to respect and submit to spiritual leadership that aligns with the teachings of Christ. However, this submission should be based on the principles of love, humility, and mutual respect rather than an authoritarian, top-down structure.
Different Christian denominations and local churches may interpret and apply Ephesians 5:21 and other related passages differently. Some emphasize a more hierarchical structure with an emphasis on submission to specific church leaders, while others emphasize the priesthood of all believers and mutual submission among all believers.
Ultimately, individuals and communities within the Church should strive to embody the teachings of Christ, seeking love, unity, and humility in their relationships and interactions with one another.
ABOUT LEADERSHIP STYLES AND DEFINITIONS
SISTER TAVEAU INQUIRES:
Q. What’s the difference between 1) authoritarian versus 2) persuasive leadership and 3) servant leadership in the Bible?
CHAT GPT AI ANSWERS BACK:

In the context of the Bible, there are several leadership styles and principles that can be observed. Let’s explore the differences between authoritarian leadership, persuasive leadership, and servant leadership:

Authoritarian Leadership in the Bible:

There are instances in the Bible where leaders exhibited authoritarian tendencies, exercising control and demanding obedience without considering the input or needs of others. An example can be seen in King Saul, who ruled over Israel in the Old Testament. Saul’s leadership was marked by his self-centeredness, disobedience to God, and a lack of concern for the well-being of his people. This style of leadership often leads to negative consequences and can be contrasted with more positive models of leadership in the Bible.

An authoritarian leader  exercises control and authority over others in a commanding and autocratic manner. They typically make decisions without seeking input or consensus from others and expect strict obedience from their subordinates. The focus is on maintaining power and control rather than fostering collaboration or empowerment. Authoritarian leaders often enforce their directives through a top-down approach and may use fear, coercion, or punishment to maintain discipline.

Persuasive Leadership in the Bible:

Persuasive leadership, also known as transformational leadership, is characterized by a leader’s ability to inspire and influence others through effective communication, vision, and motivation. This leadership style seeks to build consensus, encourage collaboration, and bring about positive change. An example of persuasive leadership in the Bible can be seen in the apostle Paul, who used his persuasive abilities to spread the message of Christianity and guide early Christian communities. Paul appealed to reason, emotions, and shared values to influence others towards a common purpose.

Servant Leadership in the Bible:

Servant leadership is a leadership style that emphasizes humility, service, and selflessness. It is rooted in the teachings and example of Jesus Christ, who washed the feet of his disciples and taught that true leadership comes from serving others. In the Bible, servant leaders are called to prioritize the needs of others, seek their well-being, and empower them to reach their full potential. Jesus is the ultimate example of a servant leader, as he sacrificed himself for the sake of humanity. This leadership style encourages collaboration, empathy, and a focus on the greater good.

A servant leader, is a leadership style characterized by a focus on serving and supporting others. Servant leaders prioritize the needs and well-being of their followers and work to empower and develop them. They lead with humility, empathy, and a desire to serve the greater good. Rather than wielding authority and control, servant leaders seek to inspire and influence through their example and by creating a supportive and inclusive environment. They encourage participation, collaboration, and personal growth among their team members

SERVANT LEADER  VS TOP CONTROL:

TD ASKS ABOUT DOCTRINES OF THE NICOLAITANS

Please define and describe Doctrines of the Nicolaitans and why God hates them and how they entered the first church. And are they there right now?

CHAT GPT AI RESPONDS:
The Nicolaitans were mentioned in the book of Revelation in two separate instances, in Revelation 2:6 and 2:15. While there is limited information provided about them in the Bible, their doctrines and practices were criticized and condemned by Jesus.

Doctrines of the Nicolaitans: The exact nature of the Nicolaitan doctrines is not explicitly described in the Bible. The term “Nicolaitans” is derived from the Greek words “Nikolaos” (meaning “conqueror of the people”) and “laos” (meaning “people”). Some scholars speculate that the Nicolaitans may have advocated for a form of hierarchical leadership or a separation between the spiritual elite and the common people.

God’s Displeasure: In Revelation 2:6, Jesus commends the church in Ephesus for hating the deeds of the Nicolaitans, implying that these deeds were contrary to God’s will. In Revelation 2:15, Jesus rebukes the church in Pergamum for tolerating those who held the teachings of the Nicolaitans. The exact reasons for God’s displeasure with the Nicolaitans are not explicitly stated, but it is clear that their doctrines and practices were viewed negatively.

Entry into the First Church: The Bible does not provide specific details about how or when the Nicolaitan teachings entered the first Church. It is possible that these teachings emerged as a deviation or distortion of the early Christian message. Over time, as the Church expanded and encountered different cultural influences, various false teachings and practices crept in. The Nicolaitan doctrines may have been one such example.

Current Existence:
It is unclear whether the Nicolaitan doctrines and practices continue to exist in the Church today. The term “Nicolaitans” does not refer to any specific group or sect that is identified in modern times. However, some interpret the warnings against the Nicolaitans as a caution against hierarchical and oppressive leadership structures that may emerge in the Church.

Q. DEFINE but also Describe Roman patricianism in light of the Christ First Church and modern church

CHAT GPT ANSWERS:
Roman patricianism refers to the social and political system of ancient Rome, where the patricians were the wealthy and aristocratic elite class. They held significant power and influence within Roman society, often monopolizing political offices and controlling economic resources.

In the context of the Christ First Church and the modern church, Roman patricianism serves as a point of contrast rather than a direct influence. The early Christian movement, including the First Church, emerged in a different cultural and social milieu than the Roman patrician system. The teachings and values of Jesus and the early apostles emphasized humility, servanthood, and equality among believers.

Christ First Church: The First Church, established by the apostles and early disciples, sought to embody the teachings of Jesus and the principles of the kingdom of God. It was characterized by a sense of community, sharing resources, and mutual support. The early Christians did not adhere to the hierarchical and elitist structures of Roman patricianism but instead emphasized love, equality, and unity in Christ. They considered themselves as part of a new spiritual family, where all members were valued and important.

Modern Church: . Many churches today emphasize servant leadership, equality, and the priesthood of all believers. The focus is on fostering a sense of community, nurturing spiritual growth, and engaging in acts of service and social justice.

In summary, Roman Patricianism, with its emphasis on elitism and hierarchy, stands in contrast to the teachings and values of the Christ First Church and the modern church. The early Christians sought to embody the teachings of Jesus, promoting love, humility, and equality among believers. The modern church, while facing its own challenges, continues to strive towards these ideals, emphasizing servant leadership, community, and the equality of all believers in Christ.’

In any part of the Old or New Testament did God appoint priests, prophets, apostles, pastors to” target” “call them non church goers” “to accuse them, and shame “people for “not attending church ( “for not fellowshipping with the saints’ for not being an official church member? For not being Under their spiritual governing authority? for being a church hopper (means going to more than one fellowship?)
CHAT GPT Replies:
In the Old Testament, God did establish a priesthood within the Israelite community. The tribe of Levi was set apart for priestly duties, and Aaron and his descendants were appointed as priests to carry out religious rituals and offerings in the tabernacle and later in the temple. Their role was primarily focused on offering sacrifices, maintaining the sanctity of the sanctuary, and teaching the Law of God to the people (Exodus 28-29; Leviticus 8-10; Numbers 3-4).
Prophets were also raised up by God throughout the Old Testament to deliver His messages, call the people to repentance, and speak on His behalf. Their role was not specifically tied to targeting people for not attending a particular gathering or being an official member of an organized religious institution. Instead, their primary function was to convey God’s word and bring spiritual guidance and correction to the people of Israel.
In the New Testament, Jesus appointed the twelve apostles to be His closest followers and witnesses to His ministry. They were entrusted with the task of spreading the Gospel, establishing and nurturing Christian communities, and teaching the teachings of Jesus. While their role involved leading and shepherding the early Church, there is no specific indication that they were instructed to target individuals for not attending a particular gathering or being a member of a specific church.
Regarding pastors or shepherds, the term is used in the New Testament to refer to those who provide spiritual leadership and care for the local church. Their role is primarily focused on teaching, guiding, and nurturing the believers within their congregation, encouraging them in their faith and equipping them for ministry (Ephesians 4:11-12; 1 Peter 5:1-4)
.KEY POINT.…Nowhere in the Bible is there a specific instruction or mandate to target individuals for not attending church, not being official members, or being church hoppers (attending multiple fellowships). The emphasis of the Bible is on the importance of believers gathering together for worship, teaching, fellowship, and mutual encouragement (Hebrews 10:24-25). However, the specific form and structure of the Church, including membership and attendance, have varied throughout history and across different cultural contexts.
It is important to note that while the Bible does not command targeting individuals in the ways described, the New Testament does encourage believers to actively engage in fellowship, to seek and support spiritual leadership, and to contribute to the well-being and growth of the local church community. However, the manner in which this is practiced can vary among different Christian traditions and cultural contexts.

In the Old and New Testaments, there is no specific indication or instruction from God to priests, prophets, apostles, or pastors to target, call out, accuse, shame, or engage in negative actions towards individuals for not attending church, not fellowshipping with the saints, not being official church members, or being church hoppers (attending multiple fellowships).
While the Bible encourages believers to gather together, engage in fellowship, and participate in the life of the Church, there is no directive to shame or condemn those who do not adhere to specific church attendance or membership practices. The emphasis in the Bible is on love, acceptance, and the nurturing of relationships within the Christian community.
The role of priests, prophets, apostles, and pastors in the Bible is primarily focused on teaching, guiding, shepherding, and equipping believers for the work of ministry, rather than targeting or shaming individuals for their church attendance or membership status. Their purpose is to encourage spiritual growth, provide guidance, and help believers deepen their relationship with God and others.
It is important to approach matters of church attendance, fellowship, and membership with grace, understanding that individual circumstances, personal convictions, and cultural factors can influence how believers engage with the Church. While regular participation in a local church community is encouraged, the focus should be on fostering a spirit of love, inclusion, and mutual support rather than shaming or accusing those who may have different patterns or preferences in their church involvement.

CHAT GPT ANSWERS BACK:Yes, it is reasonable to believe that Jesus the Messiah acted in alignment with the principles outlined in Ephesians 5:21 when it comes to His interactions with women, including His mother and all women. Ephesians 5:21 states, “Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ,” and this verse emphasizes mutual submission, humility, and respect among believers.
Throughout His ministry, Jesus consistently demonstrated a spirit of love, humility, and mutual submission towards all individuals, regardless of gender. He treated women with honor, dignity, and respect, often challenging the prevailing cultural norms of His time. His interactions with women reflect His commitment to valuing and affirming their equality and worth.
Jesus’ relationship with His mother, Mary, provides a significant example of this. He demonstrated love and care for His mother, even as He fulfilled His mission. For instance, during the wedding at Cana (John 2:1-11), Jesus responded to Mary’s request by performing His first miracle, despite initially indicating that His time had not yet come. This interaction reflects His sensitivity and respect for His mother’s concerns and desires.
Furthermore, Jesus engaged in meaningful conversations with women, taught them, and welcomed their presence among His followers. He demonstrated compassion and healing towards women, addressing their physical and spiritual needs. He challenged societal expectations by affirming the value and importance of women’s voices and perspectives.

The apostle Paul and the other early apostles played a significant role in governing and shaping the early Christian Church. Their teachings and actions regarding women varied to some extent, but it is important to understand their overall approach within the cultural context of their time. Here are some key points to consider:
Equality and Value: Paul and the early apostles recognized the equality and value of women in Christ. In Galatians 3:28, Paul declares, “There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” This verse emphasizes the equal standing of all believers in Christ, irrespective of gender.
Leadership and Ministry: While the New Testament predominantly highlights male leaders in the early Church, there are examples of women holding positions of leadership and influence. For instance, Phoebe is mentioned as a deaconess in Romans 16:1, and Priscilla is mentioned alongside her husband Aquila, instructing Apollos in Acts 18:26. Paul also commends various women for their work in ministry, such as Euodia and Syntyche in Philippians 4:2-3.
Instruction on Roles: Paul provides specific instructions regarding the roles of women in the Church. For instance, in 1 Timothy 2:11-12, he writes that women should learn in quietness and submission, not having authority over men. These instructions have been interpreted and applied differently across Christian traditions, with some emphasizing male leadership and others interpreting the passage as contextual to specific situations.
Cultural Context: It is crucial to recognize that Paul and the early apostles operated within a patriarchal society that held certain cultural norms and expectations regarding gender roles. While they addressed specific issues and challenges faced by early Christian communities, their teachings were influenced by the cultural milieu of their time.It is essential to approach these biblical passages with care, recognizing that the early Church was navigating the intersection of God’s revelation and the cultural context in which it existed.
While there are differing interpretations and applications of these teachings, the overarching message of the New Testament is one of love, equality, and mutual respect among believers, regardless of gender.

Here are a few Bible verses that mention the term “covering” or “cover”:
  • 1 Peter 4:8 (NIV):
  • Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.”
  • Psalm 32:1 (NIV):
    “Blessed is the one whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered.”
  • Exodus 40:3 (NIV):
    “Place the ark of the covenant law in it and shield the ark with the curtain.”
  • 1 Corinthians 11:6 (NIV):
    “For if a woman does not cover her head, she might as well have her hair cut off; but if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, then she should cover her head.”
  • Psalm 91:4 (NIV):
    “He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.”

 

TD ADDS

I have addressed the topic of having to have “spiritual covering” often before, and there is no such term in the New Testament, nor does Christ, Paul, or the First Church demand it anywhere. It is a concept from old-time ministry, rooted in the Mountain William School of Theology, up in the hollers, combined with the fear of women and major legalistic authoritarian Puritan control. The idea that “Eve was deceived” has led to the belief that all women are accusable, weak, lesser, sly, and easily fooled—essentially labeling them as slaves, vixens, and Queen Jezebels.

My Opinion:

However, let us end on a higher plane of thought: A pastor knows her “rigid ministry turf.”

There is a term which relates to health—watching each other’s backs in prayer through adequate prayer covering, as described in Deuteronomy 32:30:
“How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight....
AMEN

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

  • 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.

Please give synopsis and significant points in each chapter of Malachi any details, history, deeper meaning, key verses in KJV


CHAT GPT Ai Responded:

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.

#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.

Please go deeper by expanding on:

  1. America’s Spiritual State in Light of Isaiah 1
  2. Past Revivals in America and What We Can Learn
  3. Jesus as the Fulfillment of Isaiah’s Prophet

Chat GPT AI replies

1. America’s Spiritual State in Light of Isaiah 1

Isaiah’s warnings to Israel parallel what we see in America today. The same sins that led to Israel’s judgment are rampant in modern society.

A. Abandoning God’s Laws

📖 “They have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.” (Isaiah 1:4)

Israel rejected God’s commandments and replaced them with human traditions and foreign influences.

🔎 Modern Parallel:

  • America removed prayer and the Bible from schools in the 1960s.
  • Moral relativism has replaced biblical truth.
  • Many churches avoid preaching repentance, focusing on self-help messages.

📖 Jesus’ Warning:

“Because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.” (Matthew 24:12)

B. Corruption in Leadership

📖 “Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards.” (Isaiah 1:23)

Israel’s leaders were greedy and unjust.

🔎 Modern Parallel:

  • Politicians and corporations put profit over righteousness.
  • Some church leaders focus on money, status, and power instead of shepherding God’s people.
  • Entertainment-driven Christianity replaces repentance and holiness.

📖 Paul’s Warning:

“For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears.” (2 Timothy 4:3

C. A Society That Justifies Sin

📖 “Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil.” (Isaiah 5:20)

🔎 Modern Parallel:

  • Abortion is called “healthcare” instead of murder.
  • Sexual immorality is called “love” instead of sin.
  • Speaking biblical truth is labeled as “hate speech.”

📖 Paul’s Warning:

“God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient.” (Romans 1:28)

2. Past Revivals in America and What We Can Learn

God has sent great awakenings in America before. These revivals show God’s mercy and our need to return to Him.

A. The First Great Awakening (1730s–1740s)

  • Led by Jonathan Edwards and George Whitefield.
  • Preached repentance, conviction of sin, and personal salvation.
  • Transformed churches, towns, and entire regions.

🔎 Lesson for Today:
🔥 Revival comes when preachers boldly preach repentance instead of entertainment.

B. The Second Great Awakening (1790s–1830s)

  • Led by Charles Finney and other evangelists.
  • Spread revival fires across America.
  • Birthed abolitionist and social justice movements.

🔎 Lesson for Today:
🔥 A true revival affects society, not just the church.

C. The Azusa Street Revival (1906–1915)

  • Sparked the modern Pentecostal movement.
  • Focused on the Holy Spirit, prayer, and unity.
  • Thousands were filled with the Spirit and transformed.

🔎 Lesson for Today:
🔥 Revival requires prayer, humility, and seeking the Holy Spirit.

D. The Jesus Movement (1960s–1970s)***

NOTE:

**TD interjects: this is more Gen Z, A, Millenial (who have heard and seen FAR TO MUCH due to media display, bad neighbors, fake using and hyper faith fundraising and “preacher cat calls on modern media” (I call this a RELATIONSHIP REALM which I name ACTS 17;17 Pauline (also in my own ministry “the Barista Fellowship” gathering spots) IT is especially effective “out there and everywhere” due to the Church Pressure, Religious Systems, Authoritarian “slave owner control many even “spying psychic ” untoward ambitious subcultures (I also invoke Paul’s Last Day’s Perilous Time Warning 2 Timothy 3:1-8, I Timothy 6:5 ON THEIR, many even myself own behalf)

BACK on track to Chat GPT AI response

  • Reached hippies, drug addicts, and outcasts.
  • Focused on Jesus, not religion.
  • Many young people turned from sin and followed Christ.

🔎 Lesson for Today:
🔥 No one is beyond God’s reach. Revival can come to the most broken people.

3. Jesus as the Fulfillment of Isaiah’s Prophecies

Isaiah prophesied both judgment and redemption. Jesus fulfilled Isaiah’s prophecies in His first coming and will complete them in His second coming.

A. Isaiah’s Prophecy of the Messiah’s First Coming

📖 “Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.” (Isaiah 7:14)

🔎 Fulfillment:

“She shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.” (Matthew 1:21)

Jesus was the promised Messiah, born of a virgin

B. Isaiah 53: The Suffering Servant

📖 “He was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities.” (Isaiah 53:5)

🔎 Fulfillment:

“Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures.” (1 Corinthians 15:3)

Jesus fulfilled Isaiah’s prophecy on the cross, providing salvation.

C. Jesus Will Return as King (Isaiah 9:6-7)

📖 “Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David.” (Isaiah 9:7)

🔎 Future Fulfillment:

“Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him.” (Revelation 1:7)

Jesus came first as a suffering servant but will return as King to establish His kingdom.

Final Call to Repentance and Revival

America and the church must choose:
✔ Repent and experience revival ✖ Reject God and face judgment

What Must We Do?

Apostle Taveau asks CHAT GPT AI:

USING KJV PLEASE TEACH ISAIAH CHAPTER 1. RELATE IT TO HISTORY OF THE NATION OF ISAIAH

  • HOW IT PERTAINS TO THE CHRISTIAN TODAY 
  •  HOW IT PERTAINS TO MODERN NOW AMERICA.

NOTE: I also have a MAJOR WORD FROM THE LORD for the American Church Ministers from DFW 2017 which I go into ISAIAH 1-10 (Holy Spirit usually Book of Acts celebrity dire WARNING) as relates to RIGHT NOW. But will save that after I complete the Brief descriptions, history outlines..

CHAT GPT AI willingly obliges:

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.”

**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.
