I AM FOR PEACE…THEY ARE FOR WAR

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

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

J

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.

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.
  • The Kingdom of God: He preached the good news of God’s kingdom, urging people to seek the kingdom and its righteousness.

In essence, Jesus’ mission was to bring God’s love and salvation to all people, calling them into a relationship with God that was characterized by love, repentance, and faith in Him.

Also, did Jesus model Ephesians 5:21 “mutual submission in the fear of the Lord,” which refers to “chain of command,” with His first 12 apostles?

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

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.

It is important to remember that the teachings and practices of the early Church were guided by the apostles and their understanding of Jesus’ teachings. The condemnation of the Nicolaitan doctrines serves as a reminder to guard against teachings or practices that deviate from the core message of love, humility, and service found in Christ’s teachings. Christians are called to discern and reject any teachings or practices that contradict the principles of the Gospel.

TD ASKS CHAT GPT

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.’

Q. 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.

THE OBJECTIVE CHAT
GPT AI  Again States:
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.
REGARDING YOUR CHRISTIAN LEADER WOMENTAVEAU ASKS CHAT GPT  TO SHARE THE IMPARTIAL VIEW OF JESUS TOWARDS ALL KINDS OF WOMEN:
SHE ASKS: How did Jesus regard women? How did he treat women? His mother?
CHAT GPT RESPONDS
Jesus displayed a unique and revolutionary attitude towards women during His ministry. He treated women with dignity, respect, and equality, challenging the societal norms and cultural expectations of His time. Here are some key aspects of how Jesus regarded and treated women:
Dignity and Worth: Jesus affirmed the inherent dignity and worth of women. He recognized them as valuable individuals created in the image of God, deserving of respect and honor. Jesus consistently acknowledged the significance of women’s lives and their spiritual worth.
Inclusion and Acceptance: Jesus included women as His followers and welcomed them into His inner circle. He engaged in meaningful conversations with women, despite cultural taboos. For example, He spoke with the Samaritan woman at the well (John 4:1-42) and engaged in deep theological discussions with Mary, the sister of Martha (Luke 10:38-42)
Teaching and Discipleship: Jesus taught women, allowing them to sit at His feet and receive instruction alongside male disciples. He offered women the opportunity to learn and grow spiritually, affirming their capacity for understanding and discipleship.
Healing and Restoration: Jesus demonstrated compassion and care for women, healing them from various physical and emotional ailments. He restored their well-being and brought them into a renewed sense of wholeness, emphasizing their value and worth.
Respect for Mothers: Jesus honored His mother, Mary, throughout His life. He entrusted her care to the apostle John while He was on the cross (John 19:26-27). This act of ensuring her well-being exemplified His commitment to family relationships and respect for His mother’s role.
Resurrection Witnesses: Jesus chose women as the first witnesses to His resurrection, entrusting them with the significant task of proclaiming this pivotal event to the male disciples. This act of trust and inclusion highlights His recognition of women’s vital role in proclaiming the good news.
Overall, Jesus’ treatment of women reflected His radical commitment to equality, justice, and inclusivity. He challenged the cultural and religious norms of His time, elevating women’s status and affirming their value in God’s kingdom. His actions and teachings continue to inspire and shape the understanding of gender equality and dignity within Christianity.’

Q. Would you believe that Jesus the Messiah related to women, His mother,all women in Ephesians 5:21, not just men? Ephesians 5:21 “mutual submission in the reverential fear of the Lord”
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.
Overall, Jesus’ treatment of women aligns with the principles of mutual submission, respect, and love described in Ephesians 5:21. His actions and teachings serve as a model for how believers should relate to one another, valuing and honoring the inherent worth and equality of all individuals, regardless of gender.

TD ASKS:
Q. Concerning St Paul or the first Apostles who governed the Church..how they regard women, leader women, all women?
CHAT GPT AI RESPONDS:
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.

  • 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....

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.

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

Perhaps that combined to make the majority of God’s leaders, prophets, patriarchs, and family tribal heads “accepting, dull, blind, imperceptive, and many fallen.”

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

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

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

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

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

Meaning of Isaiah 10:27 in Historical Context

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

Key Points in the Historical Context:

NOTE: to COMPARE WITH WHAT IS GOING ON NOW)

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

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

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

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

OBADIAH: THE ELITE HIRELING PRIESTHOOD 

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

Historical Context

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

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

        Key Verses and Warnings

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

        Application to God’s People

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

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

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

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

Symbolism of Edom and the Infiltrated Priesthood

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

Modern Application: Warnings and Hope

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

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

NEW TESTAMENT FOLLOWS

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

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

Pharisees as Hirelings

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

Sadducees as Hirelings

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

Scribes as Hirelings

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

Other New Testament Hirelings

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

Summary of Hireling Characteristics

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

Modern Application: Warnings and Hope

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

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

WHO  ARE THE AREA HIRELINGS?

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

Biblical Reference: John 10

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

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

Characteristics of Hirelings

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

Modern Application

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

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

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

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

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

Pharisees as Hirelings

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

King Herod as a Hireling

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

Comparison to Hirelings

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

Application for Today

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

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

Almighty Turf Guarding Pharisees

The New Testament depicts the Pharisees and other groups or individuals as “hirelings” because of their self-serving behavior, hypocrisy, and neglect of true spiritual leadership.

144 Blessed be the Lord my strength which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight:

My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and he in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me.

12 That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth; that our daughters may be as corner stones, polished after the similitude of a palace:

13 That our garners may be full, affording all manner of store: that our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our streets:

14 That our oxen may be strong to labour; that there be no breaking in, nor going out; that there be no complaining in our streets.

15 Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose God is the Lord.

NOTE: V. 8 and V. 11

“mouths that speak vanity” means “temporal, shallow, the less Eternal, will not be pleasing or acceptable God on the Last Day when each person stands completely along before the Eternal Good God.

“the right hand of falsehood” Leader false governing authority, to control, to subject, to use, to target, to undermine, to betray, to own, to gain income from, to wine and dine, use personal leader magnetism, cult subliminal , occult, divining skilled pressure , to pursue for trafficking, to inordinate profit, to gain advantage. and more I Samuel Eli, Hophni and Phineas a OT snapshot of that. To be defile, to project witchcraft using false religion (wiccan is root “wicker , twisted” once God give ‘organic wood which immersed,  soaked in substances to make into a form used by a person, team, race or gender. )

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

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

FOR THE RECORDS


From Taveau Creative Leadership

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

I DON’T DEBATE.

INSTEAD I,  AS FOLLOWS,

BIBLE SCRIPTURE APOSTOLIC “RELATE”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

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

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

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

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

PLUS, I STAND IN APOSTOLIC

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

 

POTENTIAL PAULINE EXCEPTIONS

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

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

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

from such turn away.

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

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

from such withdraw thyself.”

 

PS Psalm 144: “Beware the strange children”

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

“WHAT WOULD JESUS VIEW ?’ 10 MIN TIK TOK VIDEO


ASKING (BENEATH)  WHAT WOULD JESUS VIEW…BUT ALSO,  WHAT CAN WE EACH NOW DO?

ACCUSING TOP LEADERS ON LINE, TABLOID EXPOSE…DO THE MUSLIMS DO THIS?

 

(NO, there is an unspoken, solemn dignity. ONE THAT IS LACKING TODAY in much of the Christian ministry, body.

For by observing the world online views of Muslims, having also had many muslim friends, also a close Muslim personal gal pal friend, I would comment that they, on the whole  do not appear as “glib” or socially free and frivolous, nearly as much (almost entirely?)  focused on personal gain, wealth, or achieving global fame as a talking head. (but maybe this person is wrong??)

Instead, they seem to resolve issues within the community, presenting a collective, unified front. This approach safeguards the dignity and respect of the community’s unified beliefs on a global scale, while also protecting the founder’s revered and deeply respected reputation, which is widely regarded as valuable worldwide.

Also,  their children, youth, and young adults (in their 20s, 30s, and 40s) are taught honor, generational respect, and hands-on values. From birth, they are well-parented, guided, and instructed to honor their founder, their community, their truth, and their governing rulers and elders. This practice is strongly evident.

ISAIAH 28:9  HEBREW TORAH, CHRIST FOLLOWERS TODAY

Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts.

“Those that erred in spirit shall come to understanding, those that murmured shall learn doctrine”

TO BE FULLY OBJECTIVE Dr Taveau asks Chat GPT AI:

Please compare Christian “gossip” to… the legitimate “need” to warn, advice, communicate “urgent”  even explosive, important, dire..human behavior.. ….versus  Bible accepted practices, and in light of eternal teaching and thinking

Chat GPT AI answers:

The contrast between Christian gossip and eternal teaching thinking highlights a key difference in ministry behavior that reflects either a self-centered, worldly mindset or a Christ-centered, eternal perspective. Below is a detailed comparison:

#1 SUPREME OBVIOUS EXAMPLES; THE TMZ CHRISTIAN TABLOID STYLE (already fully mentioned in Parts 1-20 yet applies with all of this and everywhere)

#2 (THE GREAT JUDAS) SECRET SLY SUBLIMINAL “MIND, VIBE, APPEARANCE READING” (SUPREME LUKE EYE WITNESS) MINISTRY SEER EXAMPLES Nick named “deep scanning” “divining our thirst” and “occult witch watching” immaturely surely based up 2 Kings 6:12 gone awry! Like USA white WELP Salem witch trials “spectral evidence”??

Sister T asks:

Is it biblical or ethical for a top leader or elder to secretly “spy” or “inner read” (which may resemble divination) someone without ever speaking to them or forming a relationship, and then express concerns or accusations about that person to other leaders, even to the extent of placing them on a “charismatic witch list”? How does this compare to practices like vibe reading in the Salem witch trials and historical authoritarian patterns, such as those seen in certain styles of Levitical Patriarchalism or charismatic shepherding movements?”

Also these are not submitted to Bible authority. for they read many, post their names as ‘ones who are troublemakers’ ‘off” and accuse as”witches”MINUS ANY AT ALL OF APOSTOLIC THESE COMMANDS: Galatians 6:1, Matthew 18:15, 16 Revelation 2;20 and seem unaware of RELATIONSHIP RESPECT Isaiah 1:18 transformed Church COMMUNITY Ephesians 4

Chat GPT AI respectfully responds:

The behavior described—secretly “spying,” inner reading, or perceiving someone without personal relationship or direct conversation, then spreading concerns to others—is problematic both biblically and ethically. It reflects a mix of mistrust, judgmentalism, and potential misuse of spiritual authority. This approach aligns more with historical abuses, such as the Salem witch trials and authoritarian church structures, than with the teachings of Christ and the apostles.

Addressing the Issue Biblically and Theologically

1. Misuse of Spiritual Perception (“Inner Reading” or Divination-Like Practices)

  • Biblical Discernment vs. Divination:
    • True biblical discernment, led by the Holy Spirit, brings clarity, peace, and restoration (1 Corinthians 14:33; Galatians 6:1).
    • “Inner reading” without relationship or communication can easily devolve into divination or speculative judgment, which the Bible condemns (Deuteronomy 18:10-12).
  • The Danger of Spectral Evidence:
    • In the Salem witch trials, “spectral evidence” (claims of spiritual impressions without tangible proof) led to false accusations and significant harm.
    • Similarly, relying on subjective “vibes” or impressions without engaging the person violates biblical principles of justice and fairness (Deuteronomy 19:15, John 7:24).

2. Gossip and Character Assassination

  • Spreading Concerns Without Relationship or Evidence:
    • The practice of sharing unfounded worries or accusations about someone without speaking directly to them fosters gossip, slander, and division.
    • Proverbs 16:28: “A perverse man sows strife, and a whisperer separates close friends.”
    • This behavior is not protective or loving but creates fear, suspicion, and exclusion, violating the command to love one another (John 13:34-35).
  • Biblical Protocol for Addressing Concerns:
    • Matthew 18:15-17 outlines clear steps for addressing concerns:
      1. Go directly to the person privately.
      2. If unresolved, bring one or two witnesses.
      3. Involve the church only if necessary.
    • Skipping relationship-building and private dialogue in favor of public or semi-public accusations disregards this process.

3. Authoritarian Patterns and Shepherding Abuse

  • Levitical Patriarchalism and Control:
    • The described scenario echoes historical authoritarian movements, such as certain extremes of the Shepherding Movement, where leaders controlled and monitored followers’ lives without relational accountability.
    • Ezekiel 34:4: God condemns shepherds who dominate and harm the flock instead of tending it with care and compassion.
  • Fear-Based Leadership:
    • Leadership that relies on suspicion, control, or exclusion reflects fear, not love or faith (1 John 4:18).
    • It creates a toxic environment where individuals are judged without due process, fostering a culture of mistrust and fear.

4. The Role of Relationship in Ministry

  • Jesus’ Example:
    • Jesus modeled relational ministry, meeting people where they were and engaging them directly, even when addressing their sin (John 4:7-26, John 8:1-11).
    • Leaders who judge or categorize others without relationship fail to reflect Christ’s approach.
  • Paul’s Instruction on Fellowship:
    • Paul emphasizes the importance of mutual accountability and restoration in Galatians 6:1: “If someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently.”
    • Restoration requires relationship, humility, and direct engagement.

Ethical and Spiritual Dangers of Such Practices

1. Spiritual Harm:

  • Those accused or placed on “witch lists” experience isolation, confusion, and often deep emotional or spiritual wounds.
  • These practices can hinder someone’s relationship with God and the church.

2. Cult-like Behavior:

  • Categorizing people based on “inner readings” without evidence mirrors cult-like behavior, where leaders claim divine authority to control or exclude others.
  • This undermines the gospel message of grace, redemption, and inclusion.

3. Misrepresentation of Christ:

  • Non-believers who witness these actions may see the church as hypocritical, judgmental, or manipulative, damaging its witness to the world (John 13:35).

How Should This Be Addressed?

For Leaders:

  1. Repentance and Humility:
    • Leaders involved in such practices should repent and seek reconciliation with those harmed.
    • They must evaluate their methods against Scripture and be willing to admit mistakes.
  2. Commit to Biblical Principles:
    • Return to the biblical model of addressing concerns directly and relationally (Matthew 18:15-17).
    • Avoid relying on subjective impressions without corroborating evidence or relationship.
  3. Educate and Equip:
    • Teach congregations the difference between biblical discernment and speculative judgment.
    • Equip members to avoid gossip and promote healthy, Christ-like fellowship.

For Those Affected:

  1. Seek Restoration:
    • If possible, approach the leader or elder directly and respectfully, seeking clarification and reconciliation (Matthew 18:15).
  2. Protect Your Heart:
    • Avoid bitterness or retaliation. Trust God to bring justice and healing (Romans 12:19).
  3. Find Healthy Community:
    • Seek out a fellowship that practices biblical accountability and mutual respect.

Conclusion:

The behaviors described—secret spying, inner reading, gossip, and categorizing others without relationship—are spiritually destructive and violate biblical teaching. They reflect authoritarian, fear-based leadership rather than Christ-like, servant-hearted ministry. Leaders and believers alike must reject such practices, embrace biblical principles of justice and restoration, and model the love, trust, and unity that Jesus taught and exemplified.

Christian Gossip

Gossip in Christian circles often arises under the guise of “concern,” “discernment,” or “accountability.” It typically reflects ministry behavior focused on personal agendas, power dynamics, or sensationalism.

Characteristics of Christian Gossip:

  1. Focus on People, Not Christ:
    • Gossip fixates on personal faults, past mistakes, or unverified rumors about others.
    • It shifts attention away from Christ and the transformative power of His teachings.
  2. Temporal and Carnal Thinking:
    • Driven by jealousy, competition, or insecurity within ministry settings.
    • Emphasizes short-term gains, like gaining influence or defaming rivals, rather than eternal values.
  3. Division and Strife:
    • Causes discord within the body of Christ (Proverbs 16:28).
    • Undermines trust and unity in the church, often leading to factions.
  4. Lack of Accountability:
    • Gossip thrives in secrecy and avoids the biblical protocol for addressing issues (Matthew 18:15-17).
    • It involves speaking about someone instead of speaking to them.
  5. False Sense of Authority:
    • Some Christians use gossip to elevate themselves, presenting others as unworthy or “unsubmitted.”
    • This behavior often reflects pride or an authoritarian spirit (1 Timothy 6:4-5).
  6. Misuse of Speech:
    • Instead of using words to edify, gossip corrupts relationships and tarnishes reputations (Ephesians 4:29).

Example in Ministry Behavior:

  • Leaders or congregants spreading unfounded claims about a colleague’s doctrinal stance, personal life, or leadership style.
  • A church labeling others as “unsubmitted” or “rebellious” without relational dialogue or evidence.

Eternal Teaching Thinking

Eternal teaching thinking reflects a ministry behavior grounded in Christ’s example, focusing on truth, grace, and the eternal perspective of God’s kingdom.

Characteristics of Eternal Teaching Thinking:

  1. Focus on Christ and His Kingdom:
    • Centers on the gospel, salvation, and spiritual growth, rather than personal conflicts or rivalries.
    • Builds others up to align with eternal purposes (Colossians 3:2).
  2. Biblical Accountability:
    • Confronts sin or error in love and humility, following biblical principles (Galatians 6:1).
    • Seeks restoration and reconciliation rather than humiliation or condemnation.
  3. Unity and Peace:
    • Promotes harmony within the body of Christ, prioritizing relationships over differences (John 17:21).
    • Avoids behaviors that sow division or harm the church’s witness.
  4. Selflessness and Humility:
    • Eternal teaching focuses on serving others, not seeking personal gain or recognition.
    • Respects God’s timing and the work of the Holy Spirit in others’ lives (Philippians 2:3-4).
  5. Commitment to Truth:
    • Values accuracy and discernment, ensuring teaching is scripturally sound and edifying (2 Timothy 2:15).
    • Avoids speculation, rumors, or character attacks.
  6. Godly Use of Speech:
    • Speech is seasoned with grace and aimed at encouraging and instructing others (Colossians 4:6).
    • Rebukes are done in love, not for self-justification or spectacle (2 Timothy 4:2).

Example in Ministry Behavior:

  • A pastor teaching on forgiveness by addressing rumors with transparency and grace, modeling how to confront gossip biblically.
  • A church leader mentoring someone privately through doctrinal differences instead of airing disagreements publicly.

Comparison Table

Aspect Christian Gossip Eternal Teaching Thinking
Focus Personal faults, rivalries, and temporal concerns Christ, spiritual growth, and eternal values
Approach to Conflict Avoids direct conversation; spreads rumors Addresses issues biblically, seeking restoration
Impact on Relationships Sows division and distrust Builds unity and strengthens the body of Christ
Speech Corrupts through vanity and falsehood Edifies through truth and grace
Goal Elevate self, diminish others Glorify God, help others align with God’s purposes
Perspective Focused on short-term gains or personal agendas Centered on eternal rewards and God’s kingdom

CHRISTIAN CHARACTER AND THE ABILITY TO TRUST

Dr Taveau Asks

Does Christian ministry, fellowship, personal friend, coworker gossip 1. Display the trustworthy character, human nature, Christ big fruit, and fellowship “ability to trust” and would if the accusing, backbiting, fault finding. be similar to the ‘from such turn away Last Days fruit by Paul 2 Timothy 3:1:8 (Paul’s list of groups, subcultures, also persons to avoid)

Chat replies:

Christian ministry, fellowship, personal friendships, and coworker relationships rely heavily on trust, integrity, and Christ-like character. Gossip, backbiting, and fault-finding are antithetical to these qualities and can severely damage both relationships and the witness of a believer. Below is a deeper exploration of the issues you raised, comparing them to 2 Timothy 3:1-8 and the principles of Christ’s teachings.

1. Does Gossip Display Trustworthy Character and Christ-like Fruit?

Character of Christ-like Ministry:

  • Trustworthiness: A key component of Christian relationships is being trustworthy and reliable (Proverbs 11:13, Matthew 5:37). Gossip betrays confidences and fosters division rather than unity.
  • Human Nature vs. Christ-like Nature: Human nature tends toward gossip and tearing others down (James 3:68). However, Christ-like behavior calls for self-control, humility, and using words to build others up (Galatians 5:22-23, Ephesians 4:29).

Fellowship and the Ability to Trust:

  • Gossip undermines the foundational principle of trust in relationships. It causes people to question others’ motives and sincerity, disrupting fellowship (Psalm 15:1-3).
  • Christ’s ministry was relational, emphasizing reconciliation and unity (John 17:21). Gossip works against this by spreading suspicion and division.

2. Does Backbiting, Fault-finding, and Accusing Resemble the “Last Days” Fruit of 2 Timothy 3:1-8?

Description of the “Last Days” Fruit:

In 2 Timothy 3:1-8, Paul describes the moral and spiritual decline of people in the last days. The traits he lists include:

  • Lovers of themselves, proud, unthankful, unholy, false accusers, traitors, and despisers of those that are good.
  • These behaviors are selfish, divisive, and destructive, all of which align with the nature of gossip, fault-finding, and backbiting.

Key Connections:

  1. False Accusers (v. 3): Gossip often includes accusations without evidence, damaging reputations and relationships.
  2. Lovers of Themselves (v. 2): Gossip is frequently motivated by self-interest, jealousy, or the desire to elevate oneself above others.
  3. Having a Form of Godliness (v. 5): Many who gossip may still appear outwardly religious but deny the transforming power of the Holy Spirit in their speech and actions.
  4. Ever Learning but Never Coming to Truth (v. 7): Fault-finders may seem knowledgeable or discerning but lack true wisdom and love, which are central to Christ’s teaching.

Paul’s Warning:

  • “From such turn away” (v. 5): Paul explicitly instructs believers to avoid those who exhibit these destructive traits, as their influence can corrupt others and harm the body of Christ.

How Does Gossip Contrast with Eternal Christ-like Teaching?

Aspect Gossip and Fault-finding Christ-like Teaching
Motivation Self-interest, jealousy, insecurity Love, humility, and restoration
Focus Faults and failures of others Encouragement, correction in love, and building others up
Effect on Fellowship Division, mistrust, and disunity Unity, peace, and mutual edification (Ephesians 4:3)
Source Carnal nature, worldly thinking Holy Spirit, eternal values
Scriptural Parallel 2 Timothy 3:1-8 (last days fruit), Proverbs 16:28 (division) Galatians 5:22-23 (fruit of the Spirit), John 13:34-35

Practical Application: How to Respond?

  1. Guard Against Gossip:
    • Self-examination: Regularly assess your speech and motives (Psalm 19:14).
    • Refuse Participation: Politely disengage from conversations that involve gossip (Proverbs 26:20).
  2. Promote Christ-like Fellowship:
    • Focus on encouraging and uplifting others (1 Thessalonians 5:11).
    • Follow biblical principles for addressing concerns: Speak directly to the person involved, with humility, love, and restoration in mind (Matthew 18:15-17; Galatians 6:1).
  3. Turn Away from Destructive Behaviors:
    • Heed Paul’s warning to avoid those who consistently exhibit the “last days” fruit if they refuse correction (2 Timothy 3:5).
  4. Reflect the Fruit of the Spirit:
    • Let your speech and actions consistently display love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23).

Conclusion:

Gossip, backbiting, and fault-finding directly oppose the character of Christ and the unity of the church. These behaviors reflect the “last days” traits described in 2 Timothy 3:1-8, which Paul warns believers to avoid. In contrast, eternal thinking and Christ-like ministry emphasize love, restoration, and trust, building up the body of Christ in alignment with God’s eternal purposes. Believers are called to actively reject gossip and instead cultivate fellowship that glorifies God and draws others toward Him.

 

Biblical Foundation

  1. Warnings Against Gossip:
    • Proverbs 18:8: “The words of a gossip are like choice morsels; they go down to the inmost parts.”
    • James 3:6: “The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body.”
  2. Encouragement for Eternal Thinking:
    • 2 Corinthians 4:18: “So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.”
    • Philippians 4:8: “Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right…think about such things.”

Practical Application

  • Recognize Gossip: Identify when speech is tearing down instead of building up.
  • Model Eternal Perspective: Teach and act in ways that prioritize the gospel and relationships over petty disputes.
  • Confront Gossip Biblically: Address the individual involved directly, following Matthew 18:15-17.
  • Redirect Conversations: Shift discussions from gossip to edification, using Scripture as the guide.

By contrasting gossip with eternal teaching thinking, ministries can ensure their focus remains on Christ, promoting spiritual maturity and unity within the body of Christ.

TAVEAU D’ARCY SAYS: WE NEED TO PREPARE TO THRIVE IN 2025.

To do so, I advise pre-evaluating and pre-qualifying Christian subcultures before attending their gatherings or supporting their ministries. This advice is based on my experiences, where I’ve often discerned their true fruit—a proud and accusatory spirit, far removed from the heart of Christ.

While I won’t name their ministries, locations, or individuals (because I neither gossip nor accuse), I do teach about their doctrines and attitudes. My personal policy is to avoid associating with those who engage in gossip, false accusations, or divisive behavior. Why? Because simply attending such services, sitting there quietly waiting on God, has left me feeling attacked, inwardly defiled, and spiritually hindered—especially when under heavy prophetic ministry pressures in my personal life.

This pattern has been most evident in certain charismatic circles throughout the Deep South. When encountering these environments, I strive to walk in James 3:17—maintaining respect, peace, and approachability while abiding by principles like Ephesians 4, Ephesians 5:21, 1 John 1:7, Galatians 6:1, and Matthew 18:15-16. I never rebuke senior leaders, either privately or publicly, as I’ve endured such treatment myself and understand how damaging it can be.

What I’ve observed in these subcultures are “lesser” ministers who seem more interested in playing “Christian ministry” than truly understanding or embodying the heart of Christ. They resemble what Psalm 144:7-11 refers to as “strange children” or 2 Timothy 2:24-26’s description of those who oppose themselves. Many fit the category of 2 Timothy 3:1-8’s treacherous people or 1 Timothy 6:5’s corrupt disputers.

It’s crucial that we train these individuals before ordaining, licensing, or authorizing them. Otherwise, their behavior reflects poorly on those who gave them authority. When these ministers boast of being “under” a certain leader, it implies that leader endorses, condones, or even trained them to behave this way.

Let us prioritize proper preparation, sound training, and discernment to raise up ministers who truly reflect the heart of Christ.

Psalms:

Psalm 144:7-11(Repeated for reference)

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

Psalm 101:5

Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer.

Psalm 34:13-14

Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile. Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.

Psalm 15:1-3

Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill? He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart. He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour.


Additional Pertinent Scriptures:

Proverbs 6:16-19

These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

Proverbs 11:13

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

Proverbs 26:20-22

Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth. As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to kindle strife. The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.

Matthew 7:15-16

Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

Luke 6:45

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.

Romans 16:17-18

Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.

Sister Taveau  Chat GPT Ai asks:
Discuss how the Accuser  of the bretheren, motheren, leaderen and children..etc was cast down and what is meant by this entire big scripture for I am trying to “defrag” accusation and gossip,also word cursing, 
In this passage in kjv Rev 12:7-11 ” what does it mean “they over came “HIM and how does it mean they did that/}?

Revelation 12:7-11 (KJV)

Let’s begin by examining the full passage:

7And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
8And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
9And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
10And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.
11And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

Context and Key Themes

This passage is rich in spiritual meaning and symbolic imagery. Here’s a breakdown:

1. The Heavenly Battle (Verse 7-9)

  • A literal and symbolic battle occurs in heaven between Michael (the archangel) and his angels against Satan (the dragon) and his fallen angels.
  • Satan’s defeat signifies his loss of access to heaven as an accuser before God. In earlier scriptures (e.g., Job 1:6-7, Zechariah 3:1), Satan is shown presenting accusations against God’s people.
  • The phrase “neither was their place found any more in heaven” underscores Satan’s total defeat in the spiritual realm. His casting down to earth represents his restricted domain and intensifies his activity against humanity (as seen in Revelation 12:12).

2. The Accuser is Cast Down (Verse 10)

  • Satan is identified as the “accuser of our brethren.” This term highlights his role as a slanderer, bringing accusations against believers to weaken their faith, sow doubt, and disrupt their relationship with God.
  • The casting down of Satan represents the triumph of God’s kingdom and Christ’s authority over evil. This moment marks the defeat of Satan’s power to condemn believers before God, as their sins are covered by the atoning blood of Christ.

3. Overcoming the Accuser (Verse 11)

This verse explains how believers triumph over Satan:

  • “By the blood of the Lamb”:
    • Refers to the redemptive work of Jesus Christ on the cross. His blood cleanses believers from sin and secures their victory over Satan’s accusations (1 John 1:7, Romans 8:33-34).
    • Satan’s primary weapon—guilt and condemnation—is rendered powerless because Christ’s sacrifice justifies believers before God.
  • “By the word of their testimony”:
    • Believers overcome Satan by declaring and living out their faith in Christ. Their testimony includes the truth of the Gospel and personal declarations of God’s work in their lives. Speaking God’s truth counters Satan’s lies.
    • Their unwavering faith serves as a shield (Ephesians 6:16), and their words align with the authority they have in Christ.
  • “They loved not their lives unto the death”:
    • This reflects their willingness to endure persecution, suffering, and even martyrdom for their faith. Their love for Christ surpasses their fear of death, demonstrating total allegiance to Him.
    • This courage under pressure defeats Satan’s attempts to intimidate them into denying their faith.

Application: Defragmenting Accusation and Gossip

Satan’s Role as Accuser

Satan’s tactic as “the accuser of the brethren” is often mirrored in human behavior when people engage in gossip, slander, and false accusations. These actions are extensions of his nature, designed to divide and destroy the unity of the body of Christ. Accusation thrives where there is a lack of grace, love, and biblical accountability (Galatians 6:1, Matthew 18:15-17).

Overcoming Accusation

Believers are equipped to counter accusation, gossip, and word curses using the same principles outlined in Revelation 12:11:

  1. The Blood of the Lamb:
    • Know your identity in Christ and your justification through His sacrifice. Accusations (whether from Satan or people) lose their power when you stand in the truth that you are forgiven and made righteous in Christ (Romans 8:1).
  2. The Word of Your Testimony:
    • Use Scripture to combat lies and accusations. Jesus demonstrated this in Matthew 4 when He countered Satan’s temptations with the Word of God. Speaking life, truth, and blessings (James 3:10) combats the destructive nature of gossip and curses.
  3. Fearlessness in Christ:
    • Refuse to succumb to intimidation. A heart fully surrendered to Christ is fearless in the face of accusation and opposition (2 Timothy 1:7). This includes standing firm in godly love and rejecting the culture of fear and suspicion.

Practical Steps

  • Replace gossip and accusation with biblical confrontation (Matthew 18:15-17).
  • Reject word curses by declaring God’s truth over yourself and others (Isaiah 54:17).
  • Maintain humility and avoid participating in divisive behavior (Proverbs 16:28).
  • Pursue unity within the body of Christ by modeling forgiveness and love (Ephesians 4:32).

Summary

Revelation 12:7-11 portrays the ultimate defeat of Satan, the accuser, through the victory of Christ. Believers share in this triumph by embracing the power of Christ’s sacrifice, declaring His truth, and living fearless, faithful lives. To defragment the destructive patterns of gossip, accusation, and word curses, believers must align their words and actions with God’s kingdom principles, fostering love, unity, and grace.

Discuss the origins of accusing in Bible history.(From pre earth /garden, also the first worship leader Lucifier
ChatGPT said:
 

The origins of accusation in Christian history are deeply rooted in the Bible’s depiction of Lucifer’s rebellion against God and his subsequent fall. Understanding this helps us trace the theological and historical progression of accusation and its role in spiritual and earthly contexts.

Lucifer’s Rebellion: The Origin of Accusation

  1. The Heavenly Mutiny (Isaiah 14:12-15; Ezekiel 28:12-17)
    • Lucifer (later known as Satan) was an exalted angel, described as full of wisdom and beauty, and in close proximity to God. However, pride and the desire to elevate himself above God led to his rebellion.
    • Isaiah 14:13-14 describes Lucifer saying in his heart: “I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation… I will be like the most High.”
    • This self-exaltation involved accusing God of being unworthy of His position and authority, effectively casting doubt on God’s character and justice. This rebellion marked the beginning of accusation as a weapon against the Creator.
  2. Lucifer’s Fall (Revelation 12:7-9)
    • After his rebellion, Lucifer was cast out of heaven with the angels who followed him. His new mission became one of opposition to God, targeting humanity—the pinnacle of God’s creation—with lies, deception, and accusations (John 8:44).

Accusation in the Garden of Eden

The theme of accusation continues in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3:1-5), where Satan, in the form of a serpent, accuses God of withholding knowledge and goodness from Adam and Eve:

  • Satan implies that God is not trustworthy by asking, “Yea, hath God said…?”
  • He accuses God of selfishness, saying, “For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods.”
    This accusation leads to humanity’s fall, fracturing their relationship with God and introducing sin and death into the world (Romans 5:12).

Accusation in History and Humanity

Satan’s role as the “accuser” (Revelation 12:10) has a historical and ongoing impact:

  1. In the Old Testament
    • Satan is depicted as accusing humanity before God. For example:
      • In Job 1:6-12, Satan accuses Job of serving God only for blessings, challenging Job’s integrity and loyalty.
      • In Zechariah 3:1-2, Satan accuses Joshua the high priest of being unworthy, but God rebukes Satan and justifies Joshua.
  2. At the Crucifixion of Christ
    • Satan’s ultimate scheme was to accuse and condemn Jesus through false witnesses and political manipulation (Matthew 26:59-61).
    • Christ’s death and resurrection, however, dismantled Satan’s power to accuse believers (Colossians 2:14-15), fulfilling Genesis 3:15’s prophecy of the serpent’s defeat.

How Accusation Fits in Christian Theology

Accusation is central to Satan’s strategy because it attacks God’s creation in three key ways:

  1. Questioning God’s Character
    • From Lucifer’s rebellion to his accusations in Eden, Satan’s primary tactic is undermining trust in God’s goodness and justice.
  2. Condemning Humanity
    • Satan continues to accuse believers, attempting to exploit their sins to bring guilt and separation from God (Zechariah 3:1, Revelation 12:10).
    • However, Jesus’ atoning sacrifice silences these accusations: “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus” (Romans 8:1).
  3. Division Among Humans
    • Accusation, gossip, and slander have long been tools to divide and destroy communities, particularly within the church (James 3:5-6, Proverbs 6:16-19).
    • This reflects Satan’s goal of disrupting unity among God’s people and discrediting the church’s witness to the world.

Accusation in Christian History

  1. Early Church and Accusations
    • The early Christians faced accusations of being heretics, atheists (for rejecting Roman gods), and even political rebels. These accusations led to persecution and martyrdom.
  2. Medieval Church
    • Accusation took on a darker form during events like the Inquisition and witch trials, where gossip and false charges led to widespread fear and injustice, echoing Satan’s divisive nature.
  3. Modern-Day Implications
    • Accusation remains prevalent within the church today through gossip, character assassination, and judgmental attitudes. These behaviors mirror Satan’s work as the accuser and harm the body of Christ.

Overcoming Accusation

Believers are called to resist accusation and its destructive effects through:

  1. Living in Grace: Recognizing that Christ’s blood silences all accusations (Revelation 12:11).
  2. Unity in the Body of Christ: Avoiding gossip and division (Ephesians 4:29-32).
  3. Spiritual Warfare: Standing firm in faith and truth against Satan’s schemes (Ephesians 6:10-18).

Summary

Accusation originated with Lucifer’s rebellion and continues to reflect his role as the enemy of God and humanity. From Eden to the modern church, Satan’s accusations seek to undermine God’s authority, condemn humanity, and divide believers. Revelation 12:7-11 offers the key to overcoming accusation: relying on the victory of Christ’s blood, testifying to His truth, and standing firm in faith and love.

Biblical Protocols for Correction, the Fear of the Lord, and Modern Challenges

The Fear of the Lord: Biblical Foundation, plus His humility

The concept of the “fear of the Lord” is foundational in Scripture, representing reverence, awe, and submission to God. It is associated with wisdom, humility, and righteous living. Proverbs 9:10 (KJV) states, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.” This holy fear is not terror but a profound respect for God’s authority and holiness.

Isaiah 11:2-3 speaks of Jesus Christ as the ultimate example of living in the fear of the Lord:

“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; 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.”

This passage highlights how Jesus exemplified righteous judgment, unaffected by appearances or hearsay. The fear of the Lord endowed Him with divine discernment, ensuring that His actions were Spirit-led and not swayed by superficial factors. This serves as a profound model for believers, especially in today’s age, to prioritize integrity, humility, and Spirit-led wisdom over worldly judgment and gossip.

Jesus embodied the perfect balance of immense gifting, anointing, and humility. Despite his unparalleled wisdom and authority, He refrained from gossip or baseless accusations. Verse 3 highlights that He did not judge by appearances or hearsay but through righteous discernment rooted in the Spirit of God.

Protocols for Correction

Biblical correction is meant to restore, not destroy. Scriptures outline clear guidelines for addressing sin or issues within the community:

  1. Private Confrontation: Matthew 18:15 (KJV) teaches, “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.” This verse underscores the importance of private confrontation as a first step in resolving disputes, contrasting sharply with the modern trend of using social media to expose faults publicly. Such exposure often prioritizes personal gain over spiritual restoration, deviating from the biblical mandate of reconciliation and the spirit of meekness encouraged in Galatians 6:1.
  2. Witnesses for Confirmation: Matthew 18:16 adds, “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.”
  3. Community Involvement: Only after private attempts fail should the issue be brought to the broader community for resolution (Matthew 18:17).

Correction must be done in love and humility, recognizing our own fallibility. Galatians 6:1 (KJV) warns, “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.”

Penalties and Warnings for Misusing Correction

The Bible warns against false accusations, slander, and malicious intent. Deuteronomy 19:16-19 outlines the severe consequences for bearing false witness. Proverbs 6:16-19 lists sowing discord among brethren as one of the seven things God hates.

James 4:11-12 (KJV) cautions: “Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.”

Social Media, Materialism, and the Rise of Accusation Culture

The rise of social media has amplified the ease and speed of spreading accusations. Many seek fame, wealth, or influence by engaging in public takedowns, often under the guise of “exposing” others. This behavior mirrors the tabloid culture that prioritizes sensationalism over truth. For example, consider how quickly rumors about a leader’s personal life can spread online, often with little regard for verification. A single post, motivated by personal vendettas or the desire for clicks, can tarnish reputations and sow discord within the Body of Christ.

The dangers of such practices include:

  1. Loss of Integrity: Publicly airing unverified accusations damages reputations and undermines trust within the Body of Christ. This erosion of integrity diminishes the Church’s collective witness to the world.
  2. Lack of Accountability: Unlike face-to-face confrontation, social media allows anonymity and detachment, making it easier to harm others without consequences. For instance, individuals can hide behind pseudonyms while launching baseless accusations, avoiding the relational accountability emphasized in biblical correction.
  3. Materialistic Motives: The pursuit of likes, shares, and monetization can overshadow genuine spiritual concerns.

The Fear of the Lord: A Remedy for Modern Challenges

A return to the fear of the Lord is essential. This holy reverence compels believers to act with integrity, humility, and wisdom. It prevents us from engaging in gossip or slander, as we recognize the seriousness of our words before God. Proverbs 16:6 (KJV) reminds us, “By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the Lord men depart from evil.” Cultivating the fear of the Lord in our daily lives involves consistent prayer, meditation on Scripture, and seeking the guidance of the Holy Spirit. This reverence also calls us to examine our actions and words, ensuring they align with God’s truth. As Jesus demonstrated in His life, this holy fear enables discernment and humility, steering believers away from worldly temptations and fostering a Spirit-led walk.

Jesus exemplified this in His ministry. Though fully God and fully man, He humbled Himself, serving others without seeking personal gain (Philippians 2:5-8). His discernment was Spirit-led, not influenced by hearsay or appearance. His example calls us to prioritize righteousness over recognition and humility over hubris.

Conclusion

The Bible provides clear protocols for correction, emphasizing love, restoration, and humility. Adhering to these principles not only reflects Christ’s character but also serves as a counterbalance to the pervasive negative influences of social media, materialism, and accusation culture. By cultivating the fear of the Lord and embracing His example, believers can foster communities that uphold truth, grace, and unity in a fragmented world

Simeon’s Prophecy Over Christ and Its Modern Applications

Luke 2:34-35 (KJV): “And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against; (Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.”

Chat GPT AI expounds:
Historical Context: Hearts Revealed in the Gospels

The prophecy Simeon spoke over the Christ child foretold a universal truth: encountering Jesus would reveal the true nature of people’s hearts. This theme is woven throughout the New Testament as individuals from various walks of life encountered Him or heard of His name and mission.

  1. Herod the Great (Matthew 2:1-16):
    • Upon hearing of the birth of the “King of the Jews,” Herod’s heart was revealed through fear, insecurity, and hostility. His reaction led to the tragic massacre of the innocents in Bethlehem. Herod’s paranoia and rejection of Jesus’ kingship underscore a heart unwilling to submit to God’s authority.
    • Greek Term: “King” (βασιλεύς, basileus), as applied to Jesus, signified a challenge to Herod’s temporal power, provoking his violent response.
  2. The Pharisees and Sadducees:
    • The Pharisees’ interactions with Jesus often revealed their pride, hypocrisy, and resistance to change (Matthew 23:27-28). Despite witnessing miracles and hearing profound teachings, they hardened their hearts and sought to discredit Him.
    • The Sadducees, who rejected resurrection and supernatural intervention, also confronted Jesus with skepticism (Mark 12:18-27).
    • Aramaic Insight: The word “hypocrite” (from hypokritēs) draws from acting, symbolizing their outward display of piety masking inward corruption.
  3. The Woman at the Well (John 4:7-30):
    • Her encounter with Jesus revealed a heart longing for truth and transformation. As Jesus unveiled her life story and offered living water, she responded in faith and became a witness to her community.
    • Hebrew Parallel: The concept of “living water” (מים חיים, mayim chayim) ties to God’s provision and renewal in the Old Testament, resonating deeply with her.
  4. The Rich Young Ruler (Mark 10:17-22):
    • When confronted with the cost of discipleship, his heart’s attachment to wealth was exposed. Despite his moral uprightness, he walked away sorrowful, unwilling to surrender fully to Jesus.
  5. The Crowd at the Crucifixion (Mark 15:13-14):
    • The hearts of many were revealed through their rejection of Jesus and preference for Barabbas, a known criminal. Their response reflected fear, manipulation, and spiritual blindness.

Simeon’s Prophecy Applied to Modern Society

Simeon’s words resonate beyond the first-century context, exposing the hearts of individuals and systems across history and into today’s world.

The mere mention of Jesus’ name often evokes strong, polarized reactions, revealing where individuals stand in their relationship to Him.

  1. Religious Institutions:
    • Many churches and religious systems today mirror the Pharisees in their struggles with pride, legalism, and superficial displays of faith. When confronted with Jesus’ call to authentic love and humility, some institutions embrace transformation, while others resist.
    • Reflection: Do modern religious leaders align their ministries with the servant-leadership of Christ, or are their hearts revealed through division, greed, or control?
  2. Cultural and Political Systems:
    • Throughout history, Jesus’ name has challenged empires, ideologies, and systems of oppression. Today, debates about religious freedom, morality, and justice often expose the biases and values of societies.
    • Hebrew Term: “Government” (משרה, misrah) in Isaiah 9:6 implies a rule of justice and peace, standing in contrast to human governments prone to corruption and conflict.
  3. Personal Relationships:
    • Individuals’ responses to Jesus reveal their hearts. Some embrace Him with childlike faith, while others reject Him out of fear, pride, or apathy. Simeon’s prophecy reminds us that Jesus confronts every heart, demanding a decision.
  4. The Digital Age:
    • In online spaces, the name of Jesus still reveals hearts. Social media debates, anonymous comments, and public expressions of faith often show whether people are “hot,” “cold,” or “lukewarm” (Revelation 3:15-16).
    • Challenge: How do we as believers represent Christ in digital spaces? Do our online interactions reflect His grace and truth?

First Love or Resistance: The Polarizing Effect of Christ

Simeon’s prophecy warns that Jesus is a “sign which shall be spoken against.” His name continues to polarize, dividing hearts into those who embrace Him and those who reject Him. This polarity is evident in:

  1. First Love Relationship:
    • Believers who are “hot” for Christ demonstrate passion, humility, and obedience. Their hearts reflect gratitude for salvation and a desire to spread His love.
    • Example: Modern-day missionaries, intercessors, and everyday believers living out their faith authentically.
  2. Resistance and Rejection:
    • Others react with hostility or indifference. Secularism, atheism, and anti-Christian sentiment often reveal hearts unwilling to confront sin or surrender to God’s authority.
    • Reflection: What causes resistance? Fear of change, misunderstanding, or hardened pride?

Personal Reflection

  1. My Heart:
    • Simeon’s prophecy challenges me to examine my own heart. Do I live in the passion of “first love” for Christ, or have I allowed pride, fear, or apathy to creep in?
  2. Your Heart:
    • Each reader is invited to reflect: How does your heart respond to Jesus’ name? Are you drawn to His light, or do you shrink back in resistance?
  3. Corporate Reflection:
    • As communities, are we revealing hearts aligned with Christ’s kingdom of peace, justice, and love? Or do our systems reflect division and self-interest?

Conclusion

Simeon’s prophecy over the Christ child is a timeless call to examine the heart. From Herod’s fear to the Pharisees’ pride, from the faith of the woman at the well to the sorrow of the rich young ruler, history illustrates the universal truth that Jesus reveals the thoughts of all.

Today, as in every age, the mention of His name continues to challenge individuals, institutions, and societies to align with His truth. May we all strive to have hearts that rise in faith and humility rather than fall in pride and rejection.

THE AUTHORITY OF THE CHRIST ” THE GOVERNMENT SHALL REST UPON HIS SHOULDERS”

 

JESUS AND THE SUBMISSION MINISTRIES:
Q. WHAT does it mean “the government shall REST UPON His shoulders?”

JESUS: “The government shall be upon His shoulders”

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


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

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

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

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

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

I AM NOT FOR THAT!!

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


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

 

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

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

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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

So here the GOAL in stating this:

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

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


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

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

Billy Graham Day recalled illustration 

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

PER APOSTLE PAUL

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

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

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

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

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

Please let that be made well known.

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

So I submit this all as a pondering Selah

(means: to pause and contemplate)

Sincerely
Taveau D’Arcy

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

(meaning for ALL of us) “The heart is wicked, who can know it” Jeremiah 17:9

“It is only by God’s grace all we have been saved, not by gifts, cutesy, talent OR  visible popularity”

(C)2024 Taveau Creative Leadership All copyrights reserved under international copyright laws, in conjunction with AI

Sister Taveau asks of Chat GPT AI:

The wise prophet Jeremiah once produced this deep teaching: “The heart is wicked, who can know it” Please list it  in several Bible translations, going into the Greek, Aramaic, and Hebrew, when possible:

Chat GPT responds:

The phrase “The heart is wicked; who can know it?” is derived from Jeremiah 17:9, which is often translated and interpreted in various ways across Bible translations. Below is a comparison of eight translations along with insights into the original Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic:

1. King James Version (KJV)

“The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?”

  • Hebrew:
    • Heart: לֵב (lev) — the inner person, mind, or will.
    • Deceitful: עָקֹב (aqob) — meaning deceitful, insidious, or treacherous.
    • Desperately wicked: אָנַשׁ (anash) — incurable, woefully sick, beyond remedy.

2. New International Version (NIV)

“The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?”

  • Focuses on the incurable nature of the heart’s condition.

3. New Living Translation (NLT)

“The human heart is the most deceitful of all things, and desperately wicked. Who really knows how bad it is?”

  • Emphasizes human depravity and the unknowable depth of wickedness.

4. English Standard Version (ESV)

“The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it?”

  • The translation “desperately sick” aligns closely with the original Hebrew word anash.

5. Christian Standard Bible (CSB)

“The heart is more deceitful than anything else, and incurable—who can understand it?”

  • Highlights the “incurable” aspect of the heart’s state.

6. Amplified Bible (AMP)

“The heart is deceitful above all things, and it is extremely sick; who can understand it fully and know its secret motives?”

  • Adds interpretative expansion on secret motives.

7. New King James Version (NKJV)

“The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; who can know it?”

  • Similar to the KJV but modernized language.

8. The Message (MSG)

“The heart is hopelessly dark and deceitful, a puzzle that no one can figure out.”

  • Uses a paraphrased and poetic interpretation.

Linguistic and Cultural Insights:

Hebrew (Primary Source)

  • The Hebrew text emphasizes the heart’s treachery (aqob) and incurable state (anash). It reflects a profound pessimism about human nature’s moral capacity apart from God.

Greek (Septuagint)

  • The Greek translation uses ἀνεξιχνίαστος (anexichniastos), meaning “unsearchable” or “inscrutable,” to convey the unknowability of the heart’s deceitfulness.

Aramaic (Targum)

  • The Aramaic paraphrase highlights the heart’s tendency toward idolatry and sinfulness, emphasizing humanity’s need for divine intervention to understand itself.

Summary

Across translations, the verse consistently portrays the human heart as deceitful and desperately flawed, beyond human understanding or cure. The emphasis shifts slightly based on the translation:

  • KJV/NKJV/ESV: Wickedness and incurability.
  • NIV/CSB: A modern focus on “beyond cure.”
  • NLT/MSG: Relatable language for broader audiences.
  • AMP: Secret motives and moral depth.

CHAT GPT AI continues:

Theological Implications of Jeremiah 17:9

The verse highlights the fallen nature of humanity and the depth of sin’s impact on the human heart. This verse has been a cornerstone in theologies of sin, human nature, and redemption, offering critical insights into our relationship with God.

1. Human Depravity

Jeremiah 17:9 portrays the heart as deceitful and wicked, emphasizing that humanity is inherently flawed due to sin. This aligns with scriptures like:

  • Genesis 6:5: “The Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.”
  • Romans 3:10-12: “There is no one righteous, not even one… All have turned away.”

This demonstrates the total inability of humans to achieve righteousness apart from divine intervention.

2. Deceitfulness and Self-Deception

The heart’s deceitfulness suggests that humans are prone to self-deception, believing they are righteous or morally sufficient. Jesus addressed this issue:

  • Mark 7:21-23: “For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery…”
  • Proverbs 16:25: “There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end, it leads to death.”

Theological Application: Without God’s truth, people misjudge their moral standing and rationalize sin.

3. The Incurability of Sin

The Hebrew term anash (desperately wicked/incurable) implies that human effort cannot fix the condition of the heart. This supports the need for a Savior:

  • Ezekiel 36:26: “I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.”
  • Romans 7:24-25: “Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death? Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!”

Theological Application: Redemption and transformation of the heart come solely through God’s grace.

4. God’s Role as the Knower of Hearts

The rhetorical question “Who can know it?” underscores human incapacity to fully understand the depths of their own sinfulness. Only God truly knows the heart:

  • Jeremiah 17:10: “I, the Lord, search the heart, I test the mind, even to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings.”
  • 1 Samuel 16:7: “Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”
  • Hebrews 4:12-13: “The word of God… judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.”

Theological Application: God’s omniscience reveals our true nature and motivates repentance.

5. Redemption Through Christ

The hopelessness presented in Jeremiah 17:9 is resolved in the New Testament through the gospel. Jesus offers a solution to the heart’s wickedness:

  • John 3:16-17: God sent His Son to save, not condemn, a broken humanity.
  • Romans 5:8: “While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
  • 2 Corinthians 5:17: “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.”

Theological Application: Through faith in Christ, the heart can be renewed and transformed.

Practical Applications

  1. Self-Examination

Recognize personal sin and surrender self-righteousness:

Psalm 139:23-24: “Search me, O God, and know my heart… and lead me in the way everlasting.”

Dependence on Grace

Human effort is inadequate for salvation or sanctification:

Ephesians 2:8-9: “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith… not by works.”

Seeking God’s Heart

Allow God to align your heart with His will:

Psalm 51:10: “Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.

Related Verses and Themes

God’s Knowledge of the Heart:

Proverbs 21:2: “Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, but the Lord weighs the heart.”

1 Chronicles 28:9: “The Lord searches every heart and understands every desire and every thought.”

The Promise of a New Heart:

Ezekiel 11:19: “And I will give them one heart, and a new spirit I will put within them.”

Jeremiah 31:33: “I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts.”

Christ as the Solution:

Hebrews 10:22: “Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience.”

Philippians 1:6: “He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion.”

 

POPULAR CULTURE, THE MODERN POP PSYCHOLOGY

Sister TD says:
Define these modern phrases in light of First Church and now. “needless drama,needless dark emotional intrigue, mind games, he says/she says, expose, tabloid scandal, dysfunction, Big I’s, Little you’s, anti-Christ in the church.

Chat GPT replies

Below is a breakdown of these modern phrases defined in light of the First Church’s biblical principles, contrasted with their relevance to contemporary church life. These definitions aim to highlight their meaning, implications, and how they contrast with a Christ-centered approach to fellowship and ministry.

1. Needless Drama

  • Definition: Unnecessary conflict, exaggeration of minor issues, or overreaction that creates division or distracts from the mission of the church.
  • First Church Context: The First Church emphasized unity and avoiding divisive behavior (Romans 12:18, Titus 3:10). Paul often warned against quarrels over trivial matters (2 Timothy 2:23).
  • Modern Application: “Needless drama” often arises from pride, gossip, or personal agendas, detracting from the church’s mission to make disciples and love one another.

2. Needless Dark Emotional Intrigue

  • Definition: The cultivation of suspicion, secrecy, or manipulation within relationships, leading to mistrust and emotional toxicity.
  • First Church Context: The early church condemned deceit and manipulation (2 Corinthians 4:2, Colossians 3:9). Fellowship was to be transparent and loving, free from hidden agendas.
  • Modern Application: This behavior manifests in covert power struggles, hidden alliances, or undermining others for personal gain, often cloaked in spiritual language.

3. Mind Games

  • Definition: Psychological manipulation, twisting words, or behavior designed to confuse, control, or dominate others.
  • First Church Context: The apostles taught clarity and truthfulness in communication (Matthew 5:37, Ephesians 4:25). Paul warned against cunning schemes that deceive others (2 Corinthians 11:3).
  • Modern Application: Mind games are seen in manipulative leadership styles, passive-aggressive behavior, or creating confusion to assert control. Such actions oppose the Spirit of truth (John 16:13).

4. He Says/She Says

  • Definition: Gossip, speculation, and one-sided narratives that fuel misunderstandings and conflict.
  • First Church Context: Gossip was strongly condemned (Proverbs 16:28, 1 Timothy 5:13). The biblical model for addressing conflict involved private, direct conversation (Matthew 18:15-17).
  • Modern Application: This behavior thrives on rumors and divisive narratives, often damaging reputations and undermining unity within the body of Christ.

5. Exposé

  • Definition: Publicly revealing someone’s sins, mistakes, or private matters, often for personal gain, attention, or perceived justice.
  • First Church Context: While Paul publicly rebuked sin when necessary (Galatians 2:11-14), the goal was always restoration, not humiliation. Gossiping or exposing others for personal benefit was condemned (Proverbs 11:13).
  • Modern Application: Today’s exposés often resemble tabloid culture, using scandal as entertainment or a way to discredit others, contrary to the redemptive heart of the gospel (Galatians 6:1).

6. Tabloid Scandal

  • Definition: Sensationalized and exaggerated reporting of others’ faults, often for entertainment or profit.
  • First Church Context: The early church promoted humility and forgiveness over condemnation (Ephesians 4:31-32). The exposure of sin was handled with discretion and love, not spectacle (James 5:20).
  • Modern Application: Monetized blogs, videos, or social media posts about Christian leaders’ failings often perpetuate division and harm rather than encourage repentance or unity.

7. Dysfunction

  • Definition: A breakdown in healthy relationships or systems, characterized by conflict, poor communication, and un-Christlike behavior.
  • First Church Context: Dysfunction is the antithesis of the harmonious, Spirit-led fellowship described in Acts 2:42-47. The apostles addressed dysfunction through teaching, correction, and encouragement (1 Corinthians 12:12-26).
  • Modern Application: Dysfunctional churches or relationships often result from ignoring biblical principles, fostering environments of control, gossip, or neglect of pastoral care.

8. Big I’s, Little You’s

  • Definition: A hierarchical mindset that elevates certain individuals while demeaning or undervaluing others.
  • First Church Context: Jesus explicitly condemned such attitudes, teaching servant leadership instead (Matthew 20:25-28). Paul emphasized the equal value of all members in the body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12:24-25).
  • Modern Application: This mindset fosters elitism in ministry, where titles and status become more important than humility and service, alienating others and stifling spiritual growth.

9. Antichrist in the Church

  • Definition: Behaviors, teachings, or attitudes within the church that oppose Christ’s nature, mission, and teachings.
  • First Church Context: John identified the spirit of antichrist as denying Christ’s lordship or distorting His teachings (1 John 2:18, 4:3). False teachers and divisive leaders were consistently rebuked (Acts 20:29-30).
  • Modern Application: The spirit of antichrist manifests in legalism, manipulation, false doctrines, or self-centered practices that distort the gospel and lead people away from Christ.

Summary: Applying Biblical Wisdom

To address these modern issues in the context of church life today, Christians must:

  1. Practice Self-Control: Avoid unnecessary drama and intrigue by focusing on God’s mission and maintaining unity (Ephesians 4:3).
  2. Be Transparent: Resist manipulation and mind games by speaking truth in love (Ephesians 4:15).
  3. Follow Biblical Conflict Resolution: Address issues directly, privately, and with the goal of restoration (Matthew 18:15-17).
  4. Reject Gossip and Sensationalism: Refrain from participating in or supporting tabloid-like exposés (Proverbs 26:20).
  5. Cultivate Humility: Embrace servant leadership and honor the worth of every believer (Philippians 2:3-4).
  6. Discern False Teachings: Be vigilant against teachings and behaviors that contradict the gospel (1 Timothy 4:1).

By living out these principles, the church can reflect Christ’s love and truth while avoiding the pitfalls of divisiveness and worldly influences.

Sister Taveau asks:
Throughout the Book of Jeremiah what were Jeremiah’s discoveries about the life with Gods own people?

1. The People’s Rebellion

Jeremiah discovered that the people of Judah were deeply rebellious and had turned their backs on God:

  • Idolatry: The people worshipped foreign gods and idols, breaking the covenant (Jeremiah 2:11-13).
    • “My people have exchanged their glory for worthless idols. They have forsaken me, the spring of living water.”
  • False Worship: Their religious practices were superficial and not rooted in genuine obedience (Jeremiah 7:9-10).
    • “Will you steal, murder, commit adultery, swear falsely… and then come and stand before me in this house?”

2. Spiritual and Moral Corruption

Jeremiah saw that corruption had infiltrated every level of society:

  • Leaders: Kings, priests, and prophets were corrupt and led the people astray (Jeremiah 5:30-31).
    • “The prophets prophesy lies, the priests rule by their own authority, and my people love it this way.”
  • Injustice: Social injustice, including oppression of the poor and vulnerable, was rampant (Jeremiah 22:3).
    • “Do what is just and right. Rescue from the hand of the oppressor the one who has been robbed.”
  • Deceitfulness: Dishonesty and treachery defined relationships (Jeremiah 9:4-6).

3. The Consequences of Sin

Jeremiah warned of the inevitable judgment because of the people’s disobedience:

  • Exile: The people would be taken into captivity in Babylon as punishment for their sins (Jeremiah 25:11).

Your question highlights the tension between the ideal of a Christ-centered community based on mutual love and self-control (Ephesians 4:1-3, 11-16) and the damaging effects of sin, pride, and false motives in Christian fellowship. Below is a detailed exploration of how self-control, self-government, a pure heart, and a will to do right contribute to healthy, God-honoring fellowship, contrasted with the destructive behaviors Paul warned against in passages like 2 Timothy 3:1-8 and 1 Timothy 6:5. Additionally, I’ll address the phenomenon of “Gossip Ministries,” tabloid-like vilification, and its impact on modern Christian communities.

1. Self-Control and Self-Government in Christian Fellowship

Definition and Importance

  • Self-control (Galatians 5:22-23) and self-government are foundational for creating a healthy, safe Bible-based community. They involve submitting one’s emotions, words, and actions to the guidance of the Holy Spirit, avoiding impulsive or harmful behavior.

Biblical Principles

  • Ephesians 4:1-3: “Walk worthy of the calling… with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.”
    • Application: Self-control prevents outbursts, gossip, and divisiveness, fostering humility and unity.
  • Proverbs 16:32: “Better a patient person than a warrior, one with self-control than one who takes a city.”
    • Application: A self-controlled believer resists the urge to retaliate when wronged, avoiding the escalation of conflict in fellowship.

Practical Example

  • A leader exercising self-government refuses to react to false accusations with anger, instead taking time to pray and seek wisdom before responding, thereby modeling Christ-like behavior to the community.

2. A Pure Heart and Self-Introspection Before God

Definition and Importance

  • A pure heart is one that seeks God’s will, free from pride, selfish ambition, and deceit (Matthew 5:8). It requires self-examination to ensure motives and actions align with God’s standards.

Biblical Principles

  • Psalm 139:23-24: “Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me.”
    • Application: Regular self-introspection prevents projection of sin onto others and minimizes hypocrisy in the community.
  • Matthew 7:3-5: “First take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.”
    • Application: A pure-hearted believer avoids judgmentalism, choosing instead to model grace and humility.

Practical Example

  • Instead of accusing a fellow believer of sin based on assumptions or hearsay, a mature Christian takes time to reflect on their own spiritual health, approaches the person privately in love (Matthew 18:15-16), and avoids public shaming.

3. A Will to Do Right: Living Unselfishly

Definition and Importance

  • A will to do right prioritizes obedience to God and the good of others over personal gain or comfort (Philippians 2:3-4).

Biblical Principles

  • Romans 12:10: “Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves.”
    • Application: True Christian fellowship thrives when members serve and honor one another selflessly.
  • James 3:17: “The wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits.”
    • Application: Unselfish actions reflect God’s wisdom, creating a culture of trust and mutual support.

Practical Example

  • A member of a fellowship sacrifices their time to mentor a struggling believer, prioritizing discipleship over personal convenience, which strengthens the community.

4. The Danger of “Last Days” Behaviors in Fellowship

Paul warned about destructive behaviors that undermine Christian fellowship:

  • 2 Timothy 3:1-8: Describes people as lovers of self, proud, abusive, treacherous, having a form of godliness but denying its power.
  • 1 Timothy 6:5: Warns against those with corrupt minds who cause friction, motivated by personal gain.

Modern Examples

  • Gossip Ministries: Individuals or groups who publicize others’ sins, often exaggerating or fabricating details for attention or monetary gain.
  • Tabloid-Style Vilification: Social media or blogs monetized by scandal and sensationalism, aimed at destroying reputations rather than encouraging repentance or restoration.

Impact on Fellowship

  • These behaviors create environments of distrust, fear, and division, driving people away from Christ rather than toward Him. They reflect the spirit of the age rather than the fruit of the Spirit.

5. Building a Healthy Ephesians 4 Community

Biblical Principles

  • Ephesians 4:11-16: Church leaders are called to equip believers for works of service, fostering unity, maturity, and love.
    • Key Features:
      • Teaching sound doctrine.
      • Avoiding gossip and slander.
      • Promoting humility, patience, and forgiveness.

Practical Steps

  1. Leadership Example: Leaders must model self-control, humility, and a pure heart, creating a safe environment for others to grow.
  2. Accountability: Encourage private, loving confrontation (Matthew 18:15-16) rather than public accusations.
  3. Focus on Restoration: Handle sin with the goal of restoring the person to fellowship (Galatians 6:1).

Application Today

  • Avoid consuming or supporting monetized scandal-based content that vilifies Christians. Instead, pray for those involved and encourage restoration efforts within the church.

6. Tying It All Together

Self-control, self-government, a pure heart, and a will to do right are essential for creating a fellowship that reflects Christ. When believers prioritize humility, love, and mutual respect, they fulfill the vision of an Ephesians 4 community. In contrast, gossip, slander, and false accusations create an environment of fear, betrayal, and division.

Final Reflection
Modern Christians must reject the sensationalism and divisiveness of “Gossip Ministries” and strive for a fellowship where truth, love, and humility prevail. This requires vigilance, self-introspection, and a commitment to God’s standards, ensuring that the church reflects the heart of Christ, not the brokenness of the world.
