It is a common thing in the world that laws and regulations are changed and adjusted to the will and the standards of people. The main part of the law in Western countries was founded upon the Bible. Gayunpaman, many laws have slowly been adjusted to the standards of the lives of people. What wasn’t allowed in the old days is allowed today. What used to be forbidden and evil is now approved and considered good and normal. And if you don’t agree with it and don’t accept it, you will be persecuted. The law is no longer an assurance, a truth, on which people can rely. Because what is the truth, if the truth changes all the time? But what about God, Kanyang Salita, His Kingdom, and the laws of His Kingdom? Will God change His will for the lusts and desires of man?
What does the Bible say about the abortion of babies?
It used to be unthinkable to abort a child’s life in the womb of the mother. Because aborting a child’s life was considered murder. But over the years, things have changed. Now it is allowed to abort the lives of babies in many countries. Women can abort a baby’s life until the 24th week of their pregnancy. How did they succeed in changing the law about abortion? By using the feelings and emotions of people and medical advice (the wisdom of this world).
But even if the state and countries approve this action and change the law to make abortion legal, it doesn’t change the fact, that it is not alright to kill someone’s life in the womb. People can change whatever they want in the natural realm, but abortion remains murder. Because that’s what you do. You kill the life of an innocent human being. It doesn’t matter if medical science calls it abortion and approves it, because they say there is no life present in the embryo until the 24th week. Una sa lahat, they lie about this fact. Pangalawa, it won’t take away the fact that they abort a life and therefore it is murder.
According to God’s Word, life is already present in the seed of men. If life isn’t present, then how can a fetus grow? And after 5-6 weeks the heart of the fetus is already beating. So how can you say, that there is no life present in the fetus?
For Thou hast possessed my reins: Thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb. I will praise Thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are Thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in Thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them (Mga Awit 139:13-16).
As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child (Ecclesiastes 11:5)
Did you know that many people, who have committed abortion are tormented in their soul and accused in their conscience. This is logical because if a person kills someone, there is blood guilt upon the person in the spiritual realm. (Basahin din: ‘The bloodshed and lawlessness in the vineyard').
What does the Bible say about euthanasia?
Let’s not forget euthanasia. In the old days, it wouldn’t even cross someone’s mind to terminate the life of a person. It was not only unthinkable, but it was also forbidden and punishable. But because of a simple adjustment of the law, it is now allowed in certain situations, to legally terminate someone’s life through medications that will kill the person.
But people can legalize the killing of people (in certain hopeless situations) and call it euthanasia, but that doesn’t change the act in the spiritual realm. Euthanasia is just another word for murder, because you kill a human being. You wilfully terminate someone’s life.
There are many more examples, whereevil is turned into good.
Changing the law in the church
But the laws are not only changed in the world, but also in the church. In many churches, the laws and regulations, which are founded upon the Word of God are slowly changed and adjusted to the will, mga pagnanasa, and desires of man.
Christians don’t change their will and lives to the Word of God (the Bible) and the will of God, but they change the Word of God to the will and lives of people. Jesus is no longer the center of the church, but people have become the center of the church.
In the old days, the state used to trust and lean on the church. Pero sa panahon ngayon, it’s the other way around. The church leans, relies on, and trusts the state (ang mundo). The church has adopted the mind of the state, which is formed by the world; ang kaharian ng kadiliman.
Laws are adjusted to the lusts and desires of man
Most Christians are carnal and live after their own will and the lusts and desires of their flesh. They do what pleases them and makes them feel good. Many Christians consider themselves as the truth. They are full of pride and placed themselves on the throne of their lives. They don’t want to submit to God and Jesus Christ (ang salita), but they want to do their own will.
Many people who call themselves Christians live in rebellion, in the pride and haughtiness of their carnal mind. Pinamumunuan sila ng kanilang laman; kanilang mga pandama, kalooban, damdamin, damdamin, mga kaisipan, intellect, opinyon, mga natuklasan, mga pagnanasa, mga hangarin, atbp. They lead their lives far away from Jesus Christ and serve the world instead of Him.
Many church leaders are carnal as well. They have a carnal mind and live after their own will and do what they want to do.
Because they have a carnal mind, they are worldly-minded and live just like the world.
They do the same things, watch the same television programs, and movies, play games, do pag-iisip, meditate, practice yoga, at martial arts, go out to worldly places, atbp.
They’re focused on themselves and change the rules and regulations in the church, because they mix their feelings, damdamin, opinyon, and philosophies with the Bible; ang Salita ng Diyos.
They are carnal motivational speakers and life coaches and entangle people with their positive and motivating self-help sermons. These carnal church leaders say, what carnal people want to hear because they want to be accepted and exalted by people and get as many followers as possible.
They consider the church a business and want to become wealthy and successful. Nakatuon sila sa magagandang tagumpay, madiskarteng marketing, kasikatan, paglago, kasaganaan, kayamanan, pananalapi, atbp.
Are times changing?
Ang kanilang mga layunin ay katulad ng mundo. Ginagawa nila ang lahat ng kanilang makakaya upang makamit ang kanilang mga layunin. Kaya't sila ay nakipagkompromiso at binabago ang Salita ng Diyos, na siyang Katotohanan, sa isang kasinungalingan.
Sa ilalim ng pagkukunwari ng "nagbabago ang panahon” o ‘nagbabago ang mundo‘ marami mga utos ng Diyos at ni Hesus ay nababagay at binago sa kalooban, damdamin, pangangailangan, at ang mga pita at pagnanasa ng laman.
Binabago nila ang Salita ng Diyos at sinasang-ayunan ang lahat ng uri ng kasalanan, upang ang mga miyembro ng simbahan ay manatiling makalaman at magpatuloy sa paglakad sa mga kasalanan at kasamaan, nang hindi nakokonsensya. Sa pamamagitan ng pagbabago ng Salita ng Diyos, maaari nilang ipagpatuloy ang paggawa, what they want to do. Even if it is against the will of God.
They can keep living like the world and pleasing their flesh, without feelings of guilt.
The conscience bears witness of the truth
But no matter how many laws and regulations people change in the church, they will never be able to change God’s will and change the truth of God. The conscious will always bear witness to the truth, despite the excuses people use to condone their acts.
Look at Hitler… Hitler changed the law in Germany and made it legal to arrest Jews, persecute them, and kill them. sa pagitan ng 5,1 sa 6 million Jews were killed during WWII.
Hitler changed the law, so that he could do evil without trespassing the law.
But even though he changed the law, so that his works were legally approved and Hitler wouldn’t trespass the law, it wasn’t good what Hitler and his followers did. It was evil!
Maybe you think that this is an extreme example. But the number of people, who are being ‘legally’ killed today, like babies, sa ibang lugar, depressed people, atbp. are way much more.
What Hitler did was evil. There are hardly any words to describe his works, but what people are legalizing today is also evil. Ang misyon ng diyablo ay magnakaw, pumatay, and destroy and that is exactly what is happening all around us (Basahin din: ‘Matagumpay ba ang misyon ng diyablo?).
According to the World Health Organisation, 56 million babies per year are being aborted worldwide. The life that God formed in the mother’s womb is aborted; killed.
Good becomes evil and evil becomes good
Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter (Isaiah 5:20)
Hitler changed evil into good. What used to be considered evil became acceptable and normal. How many preachers during WWII, who obeyed the Word of God and refused to change His will and His truth, were killed? They were killed because they didn’t bow to the will of man; they didn’t bow to evil. Many preachers and Christians were killed because of their faith and their faithfulness to God and Jesus Christ; Kanyang Salita.
We live in a world today, where the same thing happens. What is good becomes evil and what is evil becomes good. Check it out for yourself:
- The world says, you are the boss of your own body. You decide whether you want to abort a baby’s life or not
- The world says, you are the boss of your own life and if you can’t bear the sufferings of life it’s ok to end your life
- The world says, that it’s ok to get a diborsyo. It is all about your own happiness and what you want
- The world says, you may commit fornication, or adultery because people have sexual needs
- The world says, that you may magsalsal. There is nothing wrong with that because a person has sexual needs
- The world says, na homosexuality is ok. Sabi nila, that they are born that way and therefore the world approves same-sex marriages
- The world says, namumuhay na walang asawa is ok. What is the difference between being married and living together? It’s just a legal paper. By the way, you have to get to know each other first before you choose to get married
- The world says, it’s ok to lie
- The world promotes raising children in a freeway. Children have to make their own choices because that will only benefit them in becoming independent (and we already see the rebellious and prideful fruit thereof)
- The world says, to allow and embrace strange religions and philosophies in a country (except Christianity)
- The world says, if you are sick, you go to a doctor. Because a doctor is the only one, who can heal your body.
- The world says, that if you have mental problems, you go to a psychologist. Because a psychologist knows everything about human behavior. A psychologist is the only one, who can help you
- The world says…..
The world eliminates the words of God
Many churches have opened their doors to the doctrines, mga pilosopiya, mga relihiyon, and wisdom of the world. They have adjusted and replaced the Bible; the Word of God with the words of man; the wisdom of the world. Just like the world has eliminated the words of God, the church has also eliminated the words of God.
Many Christians stay carnal and are led by their feelings and emotions. They’re sense-ruled and therefore they approve things that are evil and which are an abomination to God.
Many Christians think, that by changing the rules and regulations in the church, which are founded upon the Word of God, and lowering the standards, they can attract more people with ‘the gospel’.
They think that by accepting all kinds of behavior of man, they show grace and walk in love.
But they don’t know, that by their so-called love and so-called gospel of grace, the gospel is no gospel anymore. Their gospel has become powerless and doesn’t save people. Their love for people is greater than their love for God.
The flesh reigns in the church
Many churches have changed God’s Word to the will, damdamin, damdamin, pangangailangan, pleasures, mga pagnanasa, and desires of man. The flesh reigns in church! Everything is allowed and accepted to please people. Do you know what the worst thing about this is? That they think they live right before God. They think they please God with their lives, which are full of evil; mga kasalanan, and iniquities. Pero ang totoo, that God hates sin. God can’t have communion with sin.
Jesus didn’t die on the cross and shed His blood so that people can keep living in sin and iniquity and do what they want to do. (Basahin din: ‘Can you keep sinning under grace?').
But God sent His Son Jesus Christ to this earth, to die as a a sacrifice for humanity. So that every person, who believes in Jesus Christ and accepts Him as Saviour and Lord and becomes ipinanganak muli kay Kristo, will be cleansed of all sin and iniquity and become a new creation.
Jesus was your Substitute and carried your punishment on the cross. His blood was shed for you, so that you would be freed, not only from your sins and iniquities but also from your sin nature (matandang lalaki), that is present in the flesh.
Jesus gave you the ability to become in Him a new creation; isang anak ng Diyos (naaangkop ito sa kapwa lalaki at babae); born of water and the Holy Spirit (bagong tao).
As soon as you receive the Holy Spirit and become a son of God, you will have the desire to sumunod kay Hesus and walk like Jesus and please the Father. Because that is what a son does. A son, shall not do anything that grieves the Father.
God’s will becomes your will
God’s Spirit; His Holy Spirit lives inside of you. Therefore you have God’s nature and God’s will (Kanyang mga utos) are written upon your heart. You will not change God’s will, but submit to God and His will and walk in God’s will. You will change your will to His will, so that His will becomes your will.
If you are born again and the Holy Spirit lives inside of you, then you can’t be a partaker of sin. Because God can’t be a Partaker of sin.
So if you say that you are filled with the Holy Spirit, but keep walking in sins and iniquities and are not willing to change, then you are a liar and walk in the lies of man instead of the truth of God. God’s Word is the truth. If you want to walk in truth, you will obey His Word and live according to His will.
You shall do what He has commanded you to do, and not compromise with the world. Because you know, that the ruler of this world, ang diyablo, is an adversary of God.
You have to make a choice, whether you want to obey the Word of God and probably will be rejected and/or persecuted by the people around you, maybe even by your brothers and sisters in the church, or you obey the world.
When you choose the latter, then you will be liked by people, you will be accepted, exalted, elevated, worshipped, and praised by people.
If Christians are against homosexuality and gay marriage, they will be persecuted by the world. How many registrars had to resign or were sued or fired, dahil tumanggi silang magsagawa ng gay marriage ceremony? Sa US kahit isang panaderya ay idinemanda, dahil sa kanyang pananampalataya, dahil ayaw niyang gumawa ng wedding cake para sa isang gay couple. Ang mga taong ito ay hindi nakipagkompromiso, ngunit sila ay tapat sa Diyos at nanatiling tapat sa Kanyang Salita. Ipinakita nila sa Kanya (through their works) na sila mahalin Siya higit sa lahat.
Kapag naninindigan ka sa Salita ng Diyos at laban sa pamumuhay nang sama-sama, homosexuality, diborsyo, pakikiapid, adulatory, pagpapalaglag, euthanasia, mga dayuhang relihiyon at pilosopiya, idolatriya, atbp. tapos tatawagin ka ng mga tao na kakaiba, old-fashioned, relihiyoso, hindi mapagmahal, isang racist at hindi sa mundong ito. Mga tao, who belong to the world will persecute you. Even in the church you can be persecuted by people, who call themselves Christians but have the spirit of the world abiding in them.
The world respects for all kinds of religions and philosophies except true Christianity. The world tolerate everyone, except Christians; believers in Jesus Christ, who obey the Word of God, take their stand upon the Word of God and don’t compromise.
Do you live in the truth?
But and if you suffer for righteousness ‘sake, happy are you: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled (1 Peter 3:14)
The more evil and wickedness in the world, the bigger the persecution of Christians. When you don’t experience any resistance or persecution by the people around you, you should ask yourself, if you really walk in the truth of God’s Word; in His will, or that you have compromised with the world in many areas of your life.
Nabubuhay tayo sa isang mundo, where the good of God is considered evil, ruthless, harsh, heartless, hindi mapagmahal, discriminating, at iba pa. While God’s Word is the Truth and provides life and the words of the world are lies and provide death.
Will God change His will for the lusts and desires of man?
Sapagkat ako ang Panginoon, hindi ako nagbabago; kaya't kayong mga anak ni Jacob ay hindi nalilipol (Malakias 3:6)
Will God change His will for the lusts and desires of man? Hindi, Hindi kailanman magbabago ang Diyos Ang kanyang kagustuhan para sa cravings, damdamin, damdamin, kalooban, mga pagnanasa, and desires of man. No matter what rules and regulations of God’s Word are being adjusted by so-called Christians, sino ang simbahan. Hindi kailanman babaguhin ng Diyos ang Kanyang kalooban. kalooban ng Diyos; Kanyang mga utos, na kung saan ay din Hesus’ mga utos hinding hindi magbabago, sa kabila ng ginagawa ng mga tao. The Spirit can never work together with the flesh and therefore the flesh has to die.
kalooban ng Diyos; Ang kanyang batas ay hindi magbabago kailanman. Ang Salita ng Diyos ay hindi magbabago kailanman, hindi para sa anuman at hindi para sa sinuman. Ang Salita ng Diyos ay natatag magpakailanman!
Ang Panginoon ng mga panginoon ay banal, matuwid, mapagkakatiwalaan, at hindi nagsisinungaling.
That is why His Word is reliable at mapagkakatiwalaan dahil Siya ay maaasahan at mapagkakatiwalaan.
If God would change His will for the lusts and desires of man, then His Word wouldn’t be the Truth anymore. If His Word wouldn’t be the truth anymore, He wouldn’t be reliable and trustworthy.
But God’s Word is the truth and will always be the truth, kahit ano pang sabihin ng mga tao, do, adjust, and change. No matter how many new Bible translations will come, in which people secretly make small adjustments, nothing will change the truth. Nothing will change God’s will.
The day will come when everyone will be judged by His Word; by Jesus. The Judgment Day will start with the church and after the church, the world will be judged by the Word, because they believed not the Word and didn’t obey the Word.
Samakatuwid, repent of your walk and submit yourself to the Word instead of the world. Don’t be afraid of the persecution by the world, because Jesus informed us about it. If you are afraid of resistance from people and of persecution, then you are not fit for the Kingdom of God and can’t sumunod kay Hesus. Because God will never change His will for the lusts and desires of man.
