Are the Pastors and Elders of the Religious World Truly Appointed by the Lord?

Are the Pastors and Elders of the Religious World Truly Appointed by the Lord?

    God personally gives testimony to everyone He appoints and makes use of. At the very least, they all receive the confirmation of the work of the Holy Spirit, exhibit the fruits of the Holy Spirit’s work, and can help God’s chosen people receive the provision of life and true shepherding. Because God is righteous and holy, everyone He appoints and uses must accord with God’s will. Pastors and elders from the religious world all lack the word of God as testimony, and also lack the confirmation of the work of the Holy Spirit. So how could pastors and elders within the religious world be personally appointed and used by God?

Is Obedience to Pastors and Elders the Same as Obedience to God?

Is Obedience to Pastors and Elders the Same as Obedience to God?

    Some believers believe that the pastors and elders of the religious world have all been chosen and appointed by the Lord, and that they are all people who serve the Lord. So they believe that only obeying the pastors and elders is obeying the Lord, and that defying or condemning the pastors and elders is defying the Lord. They even believe that, in churches, only the pastors and elders understand the Bible and can explain the Bible, and so long as that which is preached or done by the pastors and elders accords with the Bible and is based on the Bible, then people should obey and follow them. So does this kind of obedience to pastors and elders accord with the truth? Does an understanding of Bible knowledge represent an understanding of the truth and knowledge of God? Exactly what approach should we take to the pastors and elders that conforms to God’s will?

Why Has Woe Befallen the Hypocritical Pharisees?

Why Has Woe Befallen the Hypocritical Pharisees?

    It is recorded in the Bible that the Lord Jesus condemned the Pharisees with the seven woes. Nowadays, the path walked by the pastors and elders of the religious world is that of the Pharisees and they similarly suffer God’s detestation and rejection. So why did the Lord Jesus condemn and curse the Pharisees? It was primarily because they had a hypocritical essence that defied God, because they only paid attention to performing religious rituals and keeping rules, they only explained the rules and doctrines in the Bible and did not put God’s words into practice or follow God’s commandments whatsoever, and they even discarded God’s commandments. Everything they did completely ran counter to God’s will and requirements. This was the hypocritical essence of the Pharisees and it was the primary reason for the Lord Jesus hating and cursing them.

What Is the Substance of the Pharisees’ Opposition to God?

What Is the Substance of the Pharisees’ Opposition to God?

    For two thousand years, although all believers have known the fact that the Pharisees defied the Lord Jesus, no one in the whole religious world knows exactly what the root cause and essence of the Pharisees’ defiance of God is. Only with the coming of Almighty God in the last days can the truth of this question be revealed. Almighty God says, “These Pharisees in substance were stubborn, arrogant, and did not obey the truth. The principle of their belief in God is: No matter how profound Your preaching, no matter how high Your authority, You are not Christ unless You are called the Messiah. Are these views not preposterous and ridiculous?” (The Word Appears in the Flesh).

Tungkol sa Pagsasagawa ng Panalangin

Mga Salita ng na Makapangyarihang Diyos | Tungkol sa Pagsasagawa ng Panalangin

    Hindi kayo nagtutuon ng pansin sa panalangin sa inyong pang-araw-araw na buhay. Palaging nakakaligtaan ng mga tao ang panalangin. Sa kanilang mga panalangin noong nakaraan sila ay nakikisabay lang sa agos at naglalaro, at walang sinuman ang nagbigay nang lubos ng kanilang puso sa harap ng Diyos at tunay na nanalangin sa Diyos. Nananalangin lamang ang mga tao sa Diyos kapag mayroong isang bagay na nangyayari sa kanila. Sa buong panahong ito, nakapanalangin ka na ba nang tunay sa Diyos? Tumangis ka na ba kailanman sa harap ng Diyos? Nakarating ka na ba kailanman sa pagkakilala sa iyong sarili sa harap ng Diyos? Nagkaroon ka na ba kailanman ng masinsinang pananalangin sa Diyos? Ang pananalangin ay unti-unting isinasagawa: Kung hindi ka karaniwang nananalangin sa bahay, hindi ka magkakaroon ng pagkakataon na makapanalangin sa iglesia, at kung hindi ka talaga nananalangin sa panahon ng maliliit na pagtitipon, kung gayon hindi mo makakayang manalangin sa panahon ng malalaking pagtitipon. Kung hindi ka normal na lumalapit sa Diyos o hindi binubulay ang mga salita ng Diyos, kung gayon wala kang anumang masasabi kapag oras na ng pananalangin–at kahit na ikaw ay nananalangin, ang iyong mga labi ay kikilos lamang, hindi ka talaga nananalangin.

Is Interpreting the Bible the Same as Exalting and Bearing Witness for God?

Is Interpreting the Bible the Same as Exalting and Bearing Witness for God?

Most people throughout the entire religious world believe that those who are most able to explain the Bible are people who know God, and that if they can also interpret the Bible’s mysteries and explain prophecies, then they are people who conform to God’s will, and they exalt and bear witness to God. Many people, therefore, have a blind faith in this kind of person and they worship them. So do pastors and elders’ explanations of the Bible really exalt and bear witness to God? Almighty God says, “Those who read the Bible in grand churches recite the Bible every day, yet not one understands the purpose of God’s work. Not one is able to know God; moreover, not one is in accord with the heart of God. They are all worthless, vile men, each standing on high to teach God. Though they brandish the name of God, they willfully oppose Him” (The Word Appears in the Flesh).

Sa Pagkakatawang-tao Lamang ng Diyos Magiging Katiwala Niya Ang Tao

Sa Pagkakatawang-tao Lamang ng Diyos Magiging Katiwala Niya Ang Tao

Kapag ibinibaba ng Diyos ang sarili Niya,
Siya’y nagkakatawang-tao’t nananahan sa tao,
saka lang sila maaring maging,
kanyang katiwala’t matalik na kaibigan.
Paano magiging katiwala ng Diyos ang tao
kung ang Diyos ay espiritu, angat at mahirap arukin?
Tanging sa pagkakatawang-tao lamang ng Diyos
mauunawaan ng tao ang kalooban Niya at matamo Niya.

Diyos nagwiwika’t gumawa sa katawang-tao,
kabahagi sa tuwa, dusa ng tao,
buhay sa mundo nila, tanggol at gabay nila,
nilinis sila, nang kaligtasan Niya’y matamo nila.
Paano magiging katiwala ng Diyos ang tao
kung ang Diyos ay espiritu, angat at mahirap arukin?
Tanging sa pagkakatawang-tao lamang ng Diyos
mauunawaan ng tao ang kalooban Niya at matamo Niya.

Sa gayon, kalooban ng Diyos ay mabatid ng tao
at nagiging katiwala N’ya; ito lamang ay praktikal.
Kung Diyos ay di-nakikita’t nahahawakan ng tao,
p’anong tao’y katiwala N’ya? ‘Di ba’t walang saysay ang doktrinang ito?
Paano magiging katiwala ng Diyos ang tao
kung ang Diyos ay espiritu, angat at mahirap arukin?
Tanging sa pagkakatawang-tao lamang ng Diyos
mauunawaan ng tao ang kalooban Niya at matamo Niya.
Sa pagkakatawang-tao lamang ng Diyos magiging katiwala Niya ang tao.
