To Dispel Any Myths

Dispel: To drive away by, or as if by scattering.

John 2:13-17" And near was the passover of the Jews; and Jesus went up unto Jerusalem. And He found in the temple them that were selling oxen and sheep and doves, also the money changers sitting. And making a scourge out of rushes, all of them thrust he forth out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen; and the money changers small coins poured He forth, and the tables He overturned; and unto them who were selling the doves He said,' Take these things hence! Be not making the House of My Father a house of merchandise!"

The historical event described in the above scripture passage is also being carried out in the present day by the Lord Jesus, against those who have likewise made the Assembly (pictured here by Jerusalem), a house of merchandise. She, the Assembly, will not correct herself, so Jesus uses His scourge/whip/rod of correction-the adversary-in the form of civil authority and other adversarial instruments, to purge the Assembly of it's turning of herself into a house of merchandise (commerce), just like the world.

Rev.2:21 ".....and I gave her time that she might repent, AND SHE WILLS NOT TO REPENT OUT OF HER LEWDNESS....."

She's mixed herself-she has commerce with; commits fornication/adulterous intercourse with-the surrounding culture and is blind to it, so the only means of correcting her must come from outside herself, by means of force/coersion.

She insists on "engaging" the culture in it's myths, which are numerous; two of which are Darwinism and evolution, which GOD HAS NOT CALLED HER TO DO.

God is not "measuring" the culture at present, for it's time is not yet, for other things must occur before that happens. The culture is presently being left alone to "stew in it's own juices":

Rev.11:2 "....and the court that is outside the Sanctuary, cast you outside and DO NOT MEASURE IT, because it has been given unto the nations....."

This "court that is outside", is the unbelieving culture of this age. "Measure" means God's standard of holiness. The culture is not to be dealt with -"measured"- at this present time, and the Assembly, by trying to "engage" it in "dialog" is DECEIVED AND DISOBEYING GOD. When she "dialogs", has commerce with/fornicates with/has adulterous intercourse with the culture, she becomes infected and transfers the infection TO THE REST OF THE ASSEMBLY WHO "SIT IN THE PEWS", listening to their "preaching" and "teaching". This is what the scripture calls "meat sacrificed to idols". (Rev.2:14, 20), and "her children will I slay with death"(Rev. 2:23).

The same thing happens when a believer watches a violent and/or sex filled, profanity laced movie. Those images and words remain with the individual, and many times are the subject of "conversations around the water cooler", passing the infection around. They say within themselves, "it's only a movie", but they don't realize it's a form of idolatry which stirs up emotions, WHICH GOD HAS NOT STIRRED. Many think they have "christian liberty" and can involve themselves in such things because "there is no condemnation". But the rest of the verse says, "to them who are IN CHRIST JESUS". They who involve themselves in such things ARE NOT TRUE CHRISTIANS, no matter what their profession is.

Let everyone that names the Name of Christ, depart from iniquity.
