All Through the Red Sea

A 1900's mental state to form an opinion for no cause for alarm......

1Cor. 10:1-11 " For I wish not you should be ignorant brethren, that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea, and all immersed themselves unto Moses, in the cloud and in the sea, and all did eat the same spiritual food and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they continued to drink of the spiritual rock which followed them, and the rock was the Christ. Nevertheless with most of them God was not well pleased, for they were strewn along in the desert. But in these things they became examples for us, to the end we should not be COVETOUS of evil things, even as they also coveted; neither become you IDOLATERS as some of them-as it is written, the people sat down to eat and drink and rose up to make merriment; neither let us commit FORNICATION as some of them committed fornication and there fell in one day three and twenty thousand; neither let us be PUTTING THE LORD TO THE TEST as some of them put Him to the test and by the serpents were perishing; neither be you MURMURING even as some of them murmured and perished by the destroyer. But these things by way of type were happening unto them, and were written with a view to our admonition unto whom the end of the ages have reached along."

All those who crossed the Red Sea by Moses did not enter the promise land. The entire generation was wiped out in the wilderness wanderings except for Joshua and Caleb. The children under age 20 entered, but not their parents, for they were consumed by the consequences of the five sins described in the passage above, and their bodies were scattered in the desert.

The same thing is occurring today because the same five sins are being committed by many professing ones, but have been disguised as "freedom in Christ", or "Christian liberty". They assume a spiritual maturity for themselves which they have not paid the price to obtain. This is "going up by another way"; the desire to live a spiritual life according to self effort-how one wants and when one wants-not according to the Spirit.

John 10:1 " Verily, verily I say unto you, he that enters not through the door into the fold of the sheep, but goes up from another place, that man is a thief and a robber." (See also Numbers 14:26-44, especially v. 39-44)

This is the presumption of being Christlike, without Christ; the idea of the perfectibility of human nature. The ground of this thought says "no God", and that if we want the "world to be a better place", we have to "take action and do it ourselves". This is marxism, humanism, liberalism, and rationalism. It says,"whoever's opinion has the most votes has the truth"; truth by consensus.

This idea/thought/mental state became prominent during the 1900's. "because there is no God, there is therefore no such thing as consequences for behavior, and by extension, no correction or judgment in a so - called afterlife." "Religion is a man made superstition steming from antiquity, and modern enlightened man doesn't need it, for science and technology are bringing in man's perfectibility."

The is the mass "forming of an opinion that there is no cause for alarm". It is the drive for "peace and safety" (see 1 Thess 5:1-3), by the use of force/coersion and the preaching of fear, where mass opinion becomes legislated/made into law, thereby becoming "truth". This is the reason of "polls", where a sampling of a few opinions are taken and extrapolated and planted in the mouthpiece media to further shape opinion and produce fear in those whose opinions don't line up.

This mental state also preaches the "equality of religions", where "all roads lead to God". "Christianity is just one among many, whose founder, Jesus, was a good man who shows the perfectibility of man."

We know who the spirit originator of this barrel of worms (snakes) is, but many don't know of the men he uses as instruments. They are many and they all resided (and do presently reside) in the "ivory towers of academia". They are the priests who speak for the god of this world from on high- the high minded intellectual ones with "long noses" (the better to look down at you peons with, my dear), who presume to know better than anyone else and have planted themselves in places where they might have the greastest influence over the "peons"; in government, media, education, "think tanks", foundations, (think Ford and Carnegie), science and research, corporations, and etc. Anywhere there is an opportunity for power and influence. They write books and articles and their media friends see they have continuous access to the camera and print, for after all, they are the "experts" aren't they? Their articles are planted and designed to produce a certain reaction from the true followers of Christ.

Of course they are also in all Bible schools, colleges and semitaries. This is where they do their subtle watering down of truth work, thereby initiating doubt in their dupes sitting the classes. "Has God said?"

Some of the major players of the past are Marx and Engles, Horace Mann (the pusher of the Prussian school system which has become this country's government schools), the Huxleys, Bertrand Russel, John Dewey (not the Dewey that ran against Truman), and Darwin of course, who was probably ignorant of the "egg" he laid. There are many thousands of others of course who are the "children" of these, who are carrying on their fathers program in the present day.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There are many professing christians who have been infected with this idea of spirituality without Christ, but aren't aware of it. They think they can do something to gain deeper spirituality or insight/experience. The methods go by different names: "centering prayer", "centering down", "contemplation", "yoga". They read the lives and experiences of the "mystics" and try to put into practice what they read therein. All this is the "attempt to go up by another way", which is the lie of the adversary. They read the life of Jesus and because they profess Him, think they can live as He lived, by being a "wine bibber and fellowshipping with tax collectors and sinners". So "it's ok to hang out in bars and clubs, because how else are we going to win the lost, if we don't go where they are?" But they are not yet Christ in flesh and are still in the womb and haven't gone through the birth canal. If they "win" anyone, the one they "win" will become "twofold more a child of hell" then they are themselves. (Math. 23:15). This is fornication, one of the five sins mentioned in the scripture above. It is mixing with the world. They are "becoming like the world in order to win the world", using Paul's statement of "becoming a Jew in order to win the Jews", etc. They are blind to the fact that the world is still in themselves. They cannot "do" or "be" as Jesus and Paul until they experience the first death and resurrection. When they do, then and only then, can the Spirit say to them, "I have someone at Joe's bar and grill who needs to hear what you have to say".

These babies do not have "christian liberty". They have crossed the Red Sea and been delivered from Egypt (the world), but like the children of Israel, they still have Egypt within them, and as long as they remain in that state they will die in "their wilderness" as the former did.
