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

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

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

Synopsis:

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

Key Points:

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

Chapter 2: Rebuke of the Priests and Faithfulness in Marriage

Synopsis:

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

Key Points:

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

Chapter 3: The Coming Messenger and the Call to Repentance

Synopsis:

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

Key Points:

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

Chapter 4: The Day of the Lord

Synopsis:

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

Key Points:

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

Conclusion and Significance of Malachi:

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

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

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

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

THE COLLECTIVE CONTROLLING LEADERSHIP IN THE NATION OF ISAIAH

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Meaning of Isaiah 10:27 in Historical Context

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

Key Points in the Historical Context:

NOTE: to COMPARE WITH WHAT IS GOING ON NOW)

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

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

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

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

OBADIAH: THE ELITE HIRELING PRIESTHOOD 

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

Historical Context

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

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

        Key Verses and Warnings

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

        Application to God’s People

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

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

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

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

Symbolism of Edom and the Infiltrated Priesthood

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

Modern Application: Warnings and Hope

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

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

NEW TESTAMENT FOLLOWS

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

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

Pharisees as Hirelings

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

Sadducees as Hirelings

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

Scribes as Hirelings

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

Other New Testament Hirelings

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

Summary of Hireling Characteristics

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

Modern Application: Warnings and Hope

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

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

WHO  ARE THE AREA HIRELINGS?

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

Biblical Reference: John 10

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

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

Characteristics of Hirelings

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

Modern Application

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

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

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

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

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

Pharisees as Hirelings

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

King Herod as a Hireling

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

Comparison to Hirelings

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

Application for Today

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

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

Almighty Turf Guarding Pharisees

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

Pharisees as Hirelings

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

Sadducees as Hirelings

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

Scribes as Hirelings

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

Other New Testament Hirelings

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

Summary of Hireling Characteristics

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

KING DAVID’S DIRE WARNING: PSALM 144 7-on

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

2 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.

Other Prophets in the Bible

The Bible mentions many prophets who were chosen by God to speak His word to His people, offering guidance, warning, and encouragement. Below are some of the most notable prophets:

  1. Moses:
    • Role: Moses is considered one of the greatest prophets in Israel’s history. He led the Israelites out of Egypt and received the Ten Commandments from God on Mount Sinai. Moses is also the author of the first five books of the Bible (the Torah or Pentateuch).
    • Significance: Moses communicated God’s laws and instructions to the people, acted as their mediator, and served as their leader during the Exodus and wilderness journey.
  2. Samuel:
    • Role: Samuel was both a prophet and judge over Israel. He anointed the first two kings of Israel, Saul and David, and guided the nation spiritually.
    • Significance: He was instrumental in establishing the monarchy in Israel, and he played a crucial role in the spiritual renewal of the nation.
  3. Isaiah:
    • Role: Isaiah was a prophet in Judah during the reign of four kings. He warned the people of Judah of impending judgment but also offered hope through prophecies of the Messiah.
    • Significance: Isaiah’s book is rich with prophecies concerning the coming of the Messiah, Jesus Christ, and is often quoted in the New Testament.
  4. Jeremiah:
    • Role: Known as the “weeping prophet,” Jeremiah prophesied during the final days of Judah before its destruction by Babylon.
    • Significance: He warned the people to turn from their sins or face exile and destruction. Despite facing opposition and persecution, Jeremiah remained faithful in delivering God’s message.
  5. Ezekiel:
    • Role: Ezekiel was a prophet during the Babylonian exile. He brought messages of both judgment and hope, including visions of the future restoration of Israel.
    • Significance: His visions, such as the valley of dry bones (Ezekiel 37), symbolized the spiritual renewal that God promised to bring to His people.
  6. Daniel:
    • Role: Daniel was a prophet during the Babylonian exile and served in the courts of Nebuchadnezzar and other foreign rulers.
    • Significance: His visions and interpretations of dreams, such as the coming of God’s kingdom (Daniel 2, 7), provided insight into the future and the sovereignty of God over all kingdoms.
  7. Hosea:
    • Role: Hosea’s life symbolized God’s enduring love for Israel despite their unfaithfulness. He was commanded by God to marry an unfaithful woman as a reflection of Israel’s relationship with God.
    • Significance: Hosea’s message centered on God’s love, judgment, and mercy, calling the people to repentance.
  8. Amos:
    • Role: A prophet to the northern kingdom of Israel, Amos was called from his work as a shepherd and farmer to deliver a message of judgment against the nation’s injustice and idolatry.
    • Significance: He emphasized the importance of social justice, warning that religious rituals without righteousness were meaningless to God.
  9. John the Baptist:
    • Role: John is considered the last prophet of the Old Testament era, bridging the gap between the Old and New Testaments. He prepared the way for the coming of Jesus by calling people to repentance.
    • Significance: John is often seen as the fulfillment of the prophecy of Elijah’s return (Malachi 4:5-6) and played a pivotal role in announcing the coming of the Messiah.

How Leaders Can Prepare: Lessons from the Prophets

Prophets were not only messengers of God’s word but also examples of how to live in faithfulness and integrity, especially for leaders. Here are key lessons for modern leaders to prepare spiritually and lead effectively:

  1. Develop a Deep Relationship with God:
    • Prophets were able to hear from God because they had a close relationship with Him. Leaders today need to spend time in prayer, worship, and study of Scripture to hear God’s voice clearly.
    • Like Moses, who often withdrew to meet with God on the mountain, leaders need regular times of solitude and communion with God.
  2. Stand Firm in Truth and Integrity:
    • Many prophets, such as Jeremiah and Amos, faced opposition for delivering difficult truths, but they remained faithful to God’s message.
    • Leaders should prioritize truth and integrity over popularity or comfort. They must have the courage to speak against injustice, corruption, or moral compromise, even when it is unpopular.
  3. Cultivate Compassion and Empathy:
    • Hosea demonstrated God’s enduring love and mercy toward unfaithful Israel. Leaders should reflect this compassionate heart in their dealings with others, showing grace and understanding.
    • Leadership is not just about correction but also about healing and restoration of broken relationships, much like how the prophets called people to repentance and renewed fellowship with God.
  4. Promote Justice and Righteousness:
    • Many prophets, especially Isaiah and Amos, emphasized the importance of justice and righteousness in the community. Leaders must actively work toward justice, ensuring fairness, dignity, and respect for all people.
    • This means addressing injustice, defending the rights of the vulnerable, and promoting equity in both spiritual and societal matters.
  5. Prepare Others for the Future:
    • Prophets like Daniel and Ezekiel gave visions of the future, helping people prepare for what God was about to do. Leaders today need to be forward-thinking and help prepare their people for future challenges and opportunities.
    • This can involve spiritual preparation, such as calling people to repentance and holiness, or practical preparation, such as equipping teams to handle change and growth.
  6. Be Humble and Obedient:
    • Leaders like Moses and John the Baptist displayed great humility, acknowledging that their role was to point people toward God, not themselves. Leaders must remember that they are servants of God and the people, not seeking personal glory.
    • Obedience is also crucial. The prophets often delivered hard messages because they were obedient to God’s calling, regardless of the cost. Leaders must be willing to follow God’s will, even when it challenges personal desires or expectations.
  7. Encourage Repentance and Spiritual Renewal:
    • Many prophets, like Joel and John the Baptist, called people to repent and return to God. Leaders today should create environments where spiritual renewal can take place.
    • This could involve encouraging people to reflect on their relationship with God, addressing areas of sin, and fostering a culture of revival through teaching, prayer, and worship.
  8. Lead by Example:
    • The prophets often lived out the messages they preached. For example, Hosea’s personal life became a prophetic message, and Jeremiah endured suffering as a symbol of the nation’s coming punishment.
    • Leaders should lead by example, living lives of holiness, faithfulness, and service, inspiring those they lead to follow suit.

TAVEAU CREATIVE LEADERSHIP

Conclusion: Preparing as Leaders

In summary, to lead like the prophets, leaders today must focus on cultivating a deep and authentic relationship with God, standing for truth, promoting justice, and leading with compassion. They must also prepare their communities for the future through repentance, spiritual renewal, and humility. Just as the prophets faithfully delivered God’s message and led with integrity, modern leaders are called to be God’s instruments of change and healing in their time

Taveau asks Chat GPT AI to address ISAIAH the book, first as in introduction overview:the history behind it, Isaiah the true prophet, his life, anything meaningful in it’s book order, history order, or teachings

Chat GPT AI responds:

Introduction to the Book of Isaiah: History, Prophet, and Meaning

The Book of Isaiah stands as one of the most profound prophetic writings in the Old Testament. Written by the prophet Isaiah, it spans a significant period of Israel’s history, offering both warnings and promises of hope. Isaiah’s message bridges the judgment of God upon His people with the coming of the Messiah, making it foundational to both Jewish and Christian theology.

Isaiah the Prophet: His Life and Calling

Isaiah, whose name means “Yahweh is salvation,” was a prophet during the reigns of four kings of Judah—Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah (Isaiah 1:1). He lived in Jerusalem and was called to prophetic ministry around 740 B.C., shortly before the northern kingdom of Israel fell to Assyria in 722 B.C.**

**Taveau interjects:” this is one key point for Isaiah but for the leaders of America and many in the west today.

According to tradition, Isaiah was of noble or royal lineage, possibly related to King Uzziah. He had access to the courts of kings and boldly addressed both political and spiritual corruption. His call to ministry is vividly described in Isaiah 6, where he sees the Lord enthroned in glory, surrounded by seraphim. When confronted with his own sinfulness, Isaiah cries out, and his lips are cleansed by a burning coal from the altar. This encounter commissions him to speak for God, even though his messages would often be rejected.

Jewish tradition suggests Isaiah was martyred under King Manasseh, possibly by being sawn in two (alluded to in Hebrews 11:37).

The Historical Background of Isaiah’s Ministry

Isaiah prophesied in a tumultuous era when both Israel and Judah were under threat from surrounding empires. The Assyrian Empire was expanding rapidly, and during Isaiah’s time, the northern kingdom (Israel) fell due to its unfaithfulness to God (2 Kings 17). Judah, though spared, faced political instability, threats from neighboring nations, and the temptation to trust in military alliances instead of God.

(Taveau states that this is key) …Isaiah warned Judah’s kings not to rely on Assyria or Egypt for protection but to trust in the Lord. His prophecy to King Hezekiah (Isaiah 37) proved true when God miraculously delivered Jerusalem from the Assyrians by striking down 185,000 enemy soldiers in one night.

Book Order and Structure: Themes and Divisions

The Book of Isaiah is often called “a miniature Bible” because of its 66 chapters, paralleling the 66 books of the Bible. It divides into two major sections:

  1. Chapters 1-39 (Judgment & Warning) – Often compared to the Old Testament (39 books), these chapters emphasize God’s holiness, Israel’s sins, and impending judgment, particularly through Assyria.
  2. Chapters 40-66 (Comfort & Redemption) – Similar to the New Testament (27 books), this section shifts to messages of restoration, hope, and the coming of the Messiah.

Isaiah’s writings include remarkable prophecies of Christ, such as:

  • Isaiah 11:2-3
  • Isaiah 7:14 – The prophecy of the virgin birth (fulfilled in Matthew 1:23).
  • Isaiah 9:6-7 – The coming of the Prince of Peace.
  • Isaiah 53 – The suffering servant, describing Jesus’ crucifixion in astonishing detail centuries before it happened.

Isaiah’s Teachings: Key Messages

  • God’s Holiness and Judgment – Isaiah reveals the holiness of God and His intolerance of sin. Judah’s idolatry, oppression of the poor, and reliance on alliances instead of God led to judgment.
  • Messianic Prophecy and Redemption – Isaiah is often called the “Evangelical Prophet” because of his focus on the coming Messiah and the salvation He would bring.
  • The Remnant Theology – Amid judgment, God always preserves a faithful remnant who will carry His covenant forward.
  • The Future New Heavens and New Earth – Isaiah 65-66 speaks of a future restoration, linking to Revelation’s vision of the New Jerusalem.

Conclusion

Isaiah is a pivotal book, laying the foundation for understanding both God’s justice and mercy. His prophecies point directly to Jesus Christ, offering a bridge between the Old and New Testaments. By studying Isaiah, one gains insight into God’s character, His dealings with nations, and His redemptive plan for humanity.

From Pastor T

Dear Christian in Media:

In today’s ministry landscape, there is an alarming rise in what can only be described as “Names and Faces” gossip-style teaching ministries. These platforms often focus on exposing the perceived flaws of others, prioritizing entertainment and controversy over sound biblical teaching. Here’s a call to approach this trend with discernment and a commitment to truth.

Biblical Guidance: Confidence in God Alone

Scripture gives us clear instructions about where to place our trust:

  • Psalm 118:8: Psalm 118:8: “Do not put your confidence in man, only in God”

Psalm 118:9 “Do not put your confidence in princes, only in God”

Micah 7:5 “Do not put your confidence in your neighbor. Do not put your confidence in a guide, not even in the one who lies beside you in bed. Only put your confidence in God.”

 

Despite these truths, many believers are drawn to charismatic personalities and sensationalized content that prioritize scandal over spiritual growth. This trend feeds the “itching ears” described in 2 Timothy 4:3, where people seek teachings that entertain rather than transform.

The Problem: Entertainment Disguised as Ministry

These ministries often:

  1. Divert attention from eternal truths to fleeting controversies.
  2. Exploit scandals for clicks, likes, and financial gain.
  3. Promote shallow content that fosters cynicism rather than faith.

While such platforms may attract large audiences, they risk damaging trust within the Body of Christ. They alienate believers, harden the hearts of youth and unbelievers, and reinforce skepticism among the disillusioned.

The Mission of True Ministry

Our primary goal as ministers should always be to glorify God and transform lives through His truth. Here are some key priorities for Christ-centered ministry:

  1. Transform Lives Through Truth: Ensure that every message inspires genuine change, not fleeting entertainment.
  2. Cultivate Reverence and Trust: Like Billy Graham, inspire a holy fear of the Lord that leads to repentance and salvation.
  3. Restore Community Trust: Teach in a way that rebuilds faith in the born-again community, particularly within the charismatic movement.
  4. Bear Eternal Fruit: Focus on producing “lasting fruit” (John 15:16) that will stand the test of time and God’s final judgment.

The Danger of Tabloid-Style Ministries

This tabloid approach to ministry has dire consequences:

  • It fosters ridicule and cynicism towards Christianity.
  • It prioritizes financial gain over spiritual integrity.
  • It hardens hearts and creates hostility among believers and non-believers alike.

Having observed these trends since the Jim Bakker scandal, I have seen the lasting effects: cynicism, division, and a distorted view of Christ’s message. We must resist the temptation to indulge in hearsay-driven, gain-seeking media.

A Call to Sober Reflection

As Christian leaders, we are called to approach our work with humility and sobriety. Philippians 2:12 urges us to “work out [our] own salvation with fear and trembling.” Let us commit to:

  • Grounding our ministries in Scripture rather than sensationalism.
  • Encouraging personal accountability and a deep understanding of the Bible.
  • Trusting God alone, rejecting the cult of celebrity in the church.

Conclusion

Ultimately, we have an eternity to gain and a hell to avoid. Let us honor God by focusing on truth, integrity, and love. May our ministries reflect the heart of Christ, avoiding the pitfalls of gossip-driven media. Let us return to the simplicity and power of the Gospel, leading others to genuine faith and transformation.

In His peace and truth,

Miss T

The trend of Christian media platforms, particularly on YouTube, that fault-find, expose, and vilify fellow ministers—often in highly publicized and monetized videos—raises serious concerns about the overall impact on the reputation of Christianity and the broader faith community. Here’s how this practice can protect or harm the Christian faith, the perception of ministry, and the image of born-again believers:

Potential Benefits (When Done Right):

  1. Accountability: Highlighting false teachings or unethical behavior can protect the integrity of the faith and shield vulnerable believers from harmful practices. When done with humility and backed by scripture, it may serve as a warning and an opportunity for repentance.
  2. Transparency: Addressing significant moral or theological failures openly can demonstrate a commitment to truth and reinforce the idea that no one is above accountability, even prominent figures.

Negative Impacts (When Misused):

  1. Reputation of Christ: Content that appears sensationalized or monetized to attack others can make Christianity seem judgmental and hypocritical. Instead of reflecting Christ’s love, it portrays division and conflict within the faith.
  2. Damage to Unity: These actions often neglect Jesus’ prayer for unity among believers (John 17:20-23). Public accusations create rifts, discourage collaboration, and weaken the church’s collective witness to the world.
  3. Harm to Witness: Non-believers may view such behavior as evidence of disunity, self-righteousness, or an unhealthy obsession with power and fame within the church. It can push them further from considering faith in Christ.
  4. Loss of Trust in Leadership: The vilification of ministers can erode confidence in church leadership as a whole, causing disillusionment among believers who see leaders as constantly at odds with one another.
  5. Spiritual Damage to Individuals: Public shaming and exposure without biblical protocol (e.g., Matthew 18:15-17) can lead to unnecessary suffering for those targeted, potentially causing them to stumble or withdraw from ministry.

A Better Way Forward:

  • Follow Biblical Protocols: Before publicly addressing issues, Christians should strive to engage privately and humbly, as outlined in Matthew 18:15-17 and Galatians 6:1.
  • Avoid Sensationalism: Content should focus on sound teaching and building up the body of Christ rather than tearing others down for views or profit.
  • Emphasize Christ’s Example: Jesus addressed sin but always did so with compassion, offering restoration and hope (e.g., the woman caught in adultery, John 8:1-11).
  • Build Unity: Use media to highlight shared goals, celebrate diversity within the body of Christ, and model love and respect, even amid disagreements.

Conclusion:

While addressing false teaching and moral failure is necessary, the way it’s done matters greatly. A focus on love, restoration, and biblical truth is far more powerful in preserving the reputation of Christ and the Christian community than divisive or harsh public exposés. The ultimate goal should be to glorify God, encourage repentance, and strengthen the witness of the gospel to a watching world.

TD ASKS CHAT GPT AI

Many of Today’s Christian Methodology:  is disclose, feature, names, persons, places and ministries vs teaching moral truths, doctrine.

Q. HOW can we do that in the proper manner in the information age?

ChatGPT said:

In the Information Age, where content spreads quickly and reaches a global audience, discussing moral truths and doctrine rather than singling out individuals, places, or ministries is crucial for maintaining the integrity of Christian teaching and the reputation of the Church. Here’s how this can be done properly:

1. Focus on Principles, Not Personalities

  • Teach Biblical Truth: Instead of naming individuals or ministries, teach the doctrine or principle at issue. For example, rather than saying, “Minister X teaches prosperity theology,” focus on explaining what the Bible says about material wealth and stewardship.
  • Use Examples from Scripture: Highlight biblical narratives or principles to illustrate your point. For instance, contrast Christ-like humility with Pharisaical pride without drawing modern parallels to specific people.
  • Avoid Speculation or Gossip: Stick to verified facts and Scripture rather than spreading rumors or subjective opinions.

2. Provide General Descriptions

  • Describe Issues Objectively: Instead of naming a ministry, describe the trend or belief. For example, say, “Some teachings emphasize material blessings as a sign of faith,” rather than identifying a church by name.
  • Equip Listeners to Discern: Offer tools for discernment, such as key questions to ask about any teaching:
    • Does it align with Scripture?
    • Does it glorify God or a person?
    • Does it reflect the fruit of the Spirit?

3. Frame Teachings in Love and Grace

  • Maintain a Redemptive Tone: Avoid condemnation or sensationalism. Instead, speak with compassion, recognizing that everyone, including ministers, is fallible and capable of growth.
  • Model Christ’s Approach: Jesus often addressed wrong teaching broadly rather than targeting individuals publicly, except in cases of public hypocrisy (e.g., Matthew 23).

4. Leverage the Power of Online Platforms

  • Blogging and Video Content:
    • Write or produce content that teaches biblical doctrine or moral truths without focusing on personalities.
    • Offer positive examples of sound teaching and practice to model what is good.
  • Engage in Interactive Discussions: Use forums or social media to answer questions and clarify doctrine without naming or shaming individuals.

5. Uphold Ethical Standards for Public Engagement

  • Fact-Check Thoroughly: Avoid misrepresenting teachings or actions. Misinformation damages credibility and trust.
  • Adhere to Biblical Protocols: If addressing a serious public error, follow Matthew 18:15-17 as far as possible in a digital context. For example, reach out privately or offer constructive criticism in a direct but respectful manner.

6. Balance Boldness with Humility

  • Speak Boldly Against Error: If a teaching or practice clearly contradicts Scripture, address it, but do so with humility, ensuring the message focuses on glorifying God rather than proving yourself right.
  • Acknowledge Diversity: Recognize that believers may have differing interpretations or practices. Focus on essential doctrines and leave space for secondary differences.

7. Foster an Educational Approach

  • Create Resources for Study: Develop Bible studies, guides, or videos that educate on key issues, equipping believers to discern truth without a spirit of accusation.
  • Highlight Historical and Cultural Contexts: Discuss the origins and development of certain teachings or practices to provide a fuller understanding of their alignment with Scripture.

Conclusion

By focusing on principles and sound doctrine rather than people and ministries, we can create a culture of education, unity, and encouragement within the body of Christ. This approach not only preserves reputations but also reflects Christ’s love and respect for all, offering a compelling witness to a watching world.

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.

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

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

See Amplified Bible Ephesians 5:11

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

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

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

Chat GPT AI says:

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

 

Sister Taveau asks ChatGPT AI:

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

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

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

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

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

Taveau asks:

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

 

ChatGPT AI responds:

 

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

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

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

It emphasizes standing for righteousness while maintaining a Christlike approach.

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

Greek:

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

 

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

Hebrew & Aramaic Context:

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

 

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

 

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

Biblical Approach to Reproof and Exposure:

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

 

TD asks: ..What about a Christian Today:

MODERN AIRWAVES, LOCAL AND NATIONAL NEWSLETTERS:

Modern Application

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

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

 

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

Conclusion:

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

Taveau questions:
What about Christ and Judas? more.

Biblical Examination of Devaluing Life and Modern Tabloid Culture

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

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

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

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

Apostle Paul’s View on Retaliation and Gossip

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

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

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

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

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

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

Ephesians 5:11 in Context

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

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

Tabloid Culture vs. Biblical Ethics

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

Conclusion: What Might Christ and Paul Say Today?

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

 

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

New Testament References and Parallels

1. Jesus’ Trial and Silence

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

2. Paul’s Teachings

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

 

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

3. First Church Context

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

 

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

 

With all of that Ephesians 5:11 defined:

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

 

ChatGPT responded:

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

 

1. God’s Stance on Sin and Justice

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

 

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

 

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

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

 

2. Accountability and Consequences

For the Perpetrator:

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

 

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

For the Victim:

 

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

3. When the Perpetrator is a Ministry Leader or Relative

The Danger of Cover-Ups:

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

Repentance and Restoration:

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

4. Protecting the Vulnerable

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

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

 

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

 

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

 

5. Ministering to All Involved

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

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

 

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

 

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

Conclusion

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

Taveau repeats:

 

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

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

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

1. Acknowledge the Severity of the Sin

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

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

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

2. Immediate Steps for Justice

Report the Crime

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

Protect the Victim

 

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

3. Accountability for the Perpetrator

Spiritual Consequences

 

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

Removal from Ministry

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

Legal Consequences

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

4. Support for the Victim

Healing and Restoration

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

 

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

Church and Community Role

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

5. A Warning Against Cover-Ups

Biblical Examples

 

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

Consequences of Silence

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

6. Ministering to All Involved

The Victim

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

The Perpetrator

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

The Community

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

7. Conclusion

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

Ephesians 5:11. Bible ways
Q.what is proper and what is  scandal tabloid (the Gossip Ministry) exposing for revenge to make mockery of or to hurt them and their business or ministry How does Modern.

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

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

 

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

 

1. Ephesians 5:11 in Context

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

2. Biblical Accountability vs. Revenge and Gossip

Proper Biblical Accountability:

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

 

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

Improper Exposure:

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

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

Potentially Legitimate:

 

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

Crossing the Line:

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

4. Lessons and Warnings for Today

Heart Check for the Exposer

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

Dangers of Gossiping Culture

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

 

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

God’s Judgment on Gossip and Pride

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

5. A Balanced Approach

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

Conclusion

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

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

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

1. Biblical Perspective on Family and Confidentiality

Honoring Parents

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

Handling Disputes Privately

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

2. Recording and Sharing Private Conversations

Violation of Trust

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

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

Legal and Moral Concerns

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

3. Broadcasting the Conflict Publicly

Harm to Reputations

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

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

Motive Matters

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

4. The Role of the Family Ministry Friend

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

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

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

5. Lessons and Recommendations

For the Son and Wife

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

For the Mother and Ministry

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

For the Church or Community

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

6. Conclusion

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

ChatGPT said:

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

1. Biblical Principles on Judgment and Gossip

Judging Without Understanding

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

 

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

Gossip and Slander

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

 

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

2. Motives Behind Criticism and Public Accusations

Lack of Maturity and Experience

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

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

Monetizing Gossip

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

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

3. The Impact of Such Actions

On the Recognized, Long Respected, Sr Ministry Office Mother

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

On the Accusers

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

On the Church Community

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

4. Proper Biblical Protocol

For Handling Accusations

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

On Respecting Authority

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

5. Lessons and Recommendations

For the Ministry Mother

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

For the Critics and Sympathizers

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

For the Church Community

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

 

6. Conclusion

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

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

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

1. Jesus and Undue Suffering

Biblical Context

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

Potential Reactions in Modern Terms

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

 

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

2. Jesus and Betrayal by a Close Companion

Biblical Context

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

Potential Reactions in Modern Terms

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

 

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

3. Jesus and False Accusations

Biblical Context

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

Potential Reactions in Modern Terms

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

4. Jesus and Family Tensions

Biblical Context

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

Potential Reactions in Modern Terms

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

5. Jesus’ Reputation Attacked

Biblical Context

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

Potential Reactions in Modern Terms

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

6. Lessons from Jesus for Modern Challenges

Faith in God’s Justice

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

Commitment to Truth and Purpose

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

Responding with Love and Forgiveness

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

Setting an Example for Suffering Well

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

Conclusion

 

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

ChatGPT

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

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

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

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

 

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

Denouncing Hypocrisy (Matthew 23:13-36)

 

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

 

Defending the Vulnerable (John 8:3-11)

 

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

 

Rebuking Peter (Matthew 16:23)

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

2. Jesus’ Response to Modern Injustice

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

A. Confronting the Wrongdoer

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

B. Supporting the Victim

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

 

C. Addressing Legal and Social Justice

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

3. Balancing Forgiveness and Justice

Jesus’ Teachings on Forgiveness

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

Modern Application

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

 

4. Lessons from Jesus for Today

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

5. Conclusion

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

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

JOB 41 LEVIATHAN BIBLE STUDY “THE SPIRIT OF HIDING PRIDE”

Posted on by

THE SPIRIT OF PRIDE LEVIATHAN (Job 41)
Me, Myself and I ” What is EGO, ID, “Accuser SELF”

(C)2024 Taveau D’ARcy All copyrights reserved under international copyright laws

Job 41 describes the Leviathan as a mighty, untamable creature, emphasizing its strength, dominance, and elusiveness. While this chapter primarily uses vivid imagery to portray Leviathan as a literal sea creature or symbol of chaos, many biblical scholars interpret Leviathan as a metaphor for pride, spiritual arrogance, or a destructive, untamable force in humanity or creation.

Outline of Major Points in Job 41

1. Leviathan’s Strength and Invincibility (Job 41:1-10)

Unapproachable Nature: No one can catch or tame Leviathan (v. 1-2).
Indomitable Spirit: Leviathan resists control or domination (v. 3-4).

Fearlessness: Even the mightiest weapons and warriors are powerless against it (v. 8-10).
Spiritual Symbolism: Pride often manifests as resistance to correction or humility.

 

2. Leviathan’s Overwhelming Presence (Job 41:11-20)

Impenetrable Armor: Its scales are described as tightly sealed, symbolizing invulnerability (v. 13-17).

Terrifying Power: Leviathan stirs fear wherever it goes (v. 14).
Spiritual Symbolism: Pride creates an impenetrable defense against accountability and repentance.

 

3. Leviathan’s Destructive Potential (Job 41:21-32)

Breath of Fire: It emits smoke and fire, symbolic of destruction (v. 19-21).
Unstoppable Movement: Leviathan creates chaos, leaving destruction in its wake (v. 30-32).
Spiritual Symbolism: Pride fuels strife, division, and destruction in relationships and communities.

 

4. Leviathan’s Arrogant Confidence (Job 41:33-34)

King of the Proud: Leviathan is portrayed as the embodiment of pride (v. 34).

Hebrew Insight

“King over all the children of pride” (מֶלֶךְ עַל־כָּל־בְּנֵי שָׁחַץ, melekh al kol bnei shachatz).

Shachatz refers to arrogance, haughtiness, or conceit. Leviathan is not merely a proud being but the ruler or ultimate representation of pride.

Deeper Meanings from Hebrew and Symbolism

“Leviathan” (לִוְיָתָן, Livyatan)
Root: לוה (l-w-h), meaning “to twist” or “to join.” This twisting nature aligns with pride, which distorts truth and inflates self-importance.

Symbolism: Leviathan’s name reflects the twisted, entangled nature of pride that ensnares individuals and communities.

“Scales” (מָגֵן, magen)

Translated as “shields,” symbolizing impenetrability. Pride erects barriers that resist humility, truth, and relationship-building.

“Smoke and Fire” (עָשָׁן וְאֵשׁ, ashan v’esh)

Fire often symbolizes judgment or destruction, while smoke obscures vision. Pride destroys relationships and blinds individuals to their faults.

“Children of Pride” (בְּנֵי שָׁחַץ, bnei shachatz)

The phrase suggests a generational or communal aspect of pride, indicating its pervasive and destructive influence when left unchecked.

Life Lessons: Ministry, Family, Community, and Self

1. Ministry: Humility vs. Pride in Leadership

Challenge: In ministry, pride can manifest as a refusal to delegate, a need for recognition, or a dismissive attitude toward correction.

Lesson: True spiritual leadership, modeled after Christ (Philippians 2:3-8), requires humility and servanthood. Leviathan warns leaders against the destructive tendencies of self-exaltation.

2. Family: Pride as a Barrier to Unity

Challenge: Pride within families creates barriers to forgiveness and reconciliation. It fosters stubbornness, blame-shifting, and alienation.

Lesson: Recognize when “scales” of pride block open communication. Ephesians 4:2-3 calls for humility, patience, and unity, enabling families to resist the divisive effects of arrogance.

3. Community: The Collective Destruction of Pride

Challenge: Communities fractured by pride face gossip, division, and power struggles. Pride disrupts collaboration and shared goals.

Lesson: Like Leviathan stirring chaos, unchecked pride in a community spreads discord. Proverbs 16:18 reminds us that “pride goes before destruction,” calling for humility in community interactions.

 

4. Self: Overcoming the Spirit of Pride

Challenge: Personal pride often blinds individuals to their need for growth and accountability. This “impenetrable armor” blocks God’s transformative work.

Practical Application for Relationships

Ministry:
Create space for constructive criticism and feedback in leadership.
Promote a culture of humility and servant-hearted collaboration.

Family:
Practice active listening and affirming others’ perspectives, even when it requires letting go of being “right.”
Model humility by admitting mistakes and seeking forgiveness.

Community:
Focus on collective goals rather than personal agendas.
Address divisive behaviors with compassion and truth.

Self:
Reflect daily on areas of pride through prayer and self-examination.
Memorize scriptures like James 4:6: “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”

Conclusion

The Leviathan in Job 41 serves as a powerful symbol of pride’s destructive force in individuals and communities. It highlights the importance of humility in ministry, family, and self-awareness. By recognizing the impenetrable “scales” of pride and seeking God’s mercy, we can break free from its grip, fostering stronger relationships and spiritual growth.

ASSESSING A CHRISTIAN “PROPHET”..BASIC TRAINING (STARTER TIPS)

Posted on by
Reply

 

Proverbs 18:21 in the King James Version:

“Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.”

This scripture emphasizes the significant impact our words can have, either bringing life and encouragement or harm and destruction. It reminds us to be mindful of our speech, as our words can influence not only others but also our own lives.

I hastily did this brief Tik Tok just now..to get Scriptures out… following after noting how much dark, devilish, accusation and word curses, plus the devoted followers were targeting the same persons in the election.

 

Just a few apostolic training favorites:

Hebrews 1:1-2, 9

Verse 1-2:

“God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds.”

Verse 9:

“Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.”

Acts 10:38

“How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.”

 

Isaiah 11:2-3

“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;

Above;Book of Acts dunamis (minus tongues) under governing/self control)
Below: Messiah was not an accuser or believe an evil report, no gossip

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.”**

**POINT: These verses describe the qualities of the Messiah, emphasizing His wisdom, understanding, counsel, strength, knowledge, and reverence for God. It also speaks to His just and discerning nature, not relying solely on outward appearances or hearsay in judgment

Revelation 19:10

“And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”

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.”

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.”

Each of these passages highlights different aspects of God’s character and teachings—from the prophetic spirit and the anointing of Jesus to the wisdom and purity of true heavenly wisdom.
