Think about this,and it should answer half of your question. There have always been a form of worship to some god. From the time the first couple were placed on earth,up to our time. In between there have been so,so many false gods teachings and worshippings. Many gods in time has falling,but one still continues to stand. The first couples God was the true God,which made the couples teachings to their families true. Jacob/Israels teachings were true,because he serve the same God the first couple did.
Moses teachings were true,because he serve the serve the God of Israel. The same God also the first couple served. All the way up to Jesus, who not only taught about the God of Israel,(the one the first couple worship), but who he also worshipped,(John 5:30 -I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me).
　
When Jesus died,he appointed someone who didnt believe in his teachings. And who was also persecuting those who followed in Jesus step, when it came to teaching what they learn from him. Saul/Paul,(Acts.8:3,4-) Paul believed his religious teachings was so right, that he went around causing havoc on Jesus followers, causing them to flee for their lives.
And
Acts.9:1-20-this tells of Saul on is way to Damascus, to get more of Jesus followers, was stopped by Jesus, [back in heaven],basically converted him, now verse 20 says And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.( regardless of what people want to believe, there are religions thats teaching wrong, and Jesus way is the right way. not mans way! Acts.20:30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. (be careful, false teachers will draw you with lies.
These scripture proves, for any whos seeking,there were false and true teachings. Many misunderstand Jesus words seek and you shall find,ask and you shall receive. To mean a physical or material thing,Jesus was speak spiritual. If youre TRULY seeking the truth,you will find it. If youre TRULY asking for the truth..you will receive it. Im sure many heard the words
I was once blind,but now I see this is NOT literal,again..spiritual. its basically saying I didnt understand Gods words, I didnt know God or his purpose, but now I do.
There are many reason why people refuse to serve the God Jesus did. Many wants to just believe,all I have to do is get baptized,live a good life,give to the needy and say I worship Jesus. But have one read all that Jesus said to do, or theyre just taking their ministers word on what is required? Many continually teach Jesus is the Father,in form of a human. Sad many eyes are close, hence the words, the eyes of the unbelievers are blind,(2Cor.4:4 ).
So,many scriptures shows Jesus isnt the Father,he represents his Father. Heres what Jesus said,,(Ill use ellipsis,so one would understand I didnt write all. Im trying to get the main point).
(1).John 3:16,17
(2).Matt.8:19-Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also.(many false teaches Jesus is saying hes the Father, no, hes saying he is JUST LIKE his Father), There is a difference.
Many teach false because they didnt do as Jesus said to do
his Fathers will. This would determine whether one is his spiritual family,(Matt.12:50-For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother). Many wants to believe, because they were only taught part truth, Jesus just came to die for us. Jesus ALSO came to teach people about HIS Father. The only way anyone can learn about Jesus Father. They HAVE to know about the Father. Every servant of Adam and eves God, knew in some way God was soon sending his son. They never believe God would come to earth as the son. Because they had true teachings.
Jesus showed before we can even understand what hes about to teach us,it has to be the Father who send us to him
.John 6:44,45- No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him:
(many might be confused when Jesus said..they shall be all taught of God but then say
Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me). what he meant was, in depth he will teach about his Father. But his Father already mad himself known to them as the ALMIGHTY. Any who wants to learn of this Almighty God. Was sent to Jesus.
Jesus words proves this
John 17:6 -I have manifested, (to make evidence by showing or displaying), thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word. (those who God sent to Jesus, was shown Gods name).
So many who say..if you want to become a christian just go to Jesus. People believe they have, yet theyre still blinded. no Jesus said its his Father which draws us to him. Jesus said we have to know his Father,as we do him, in order to gain everlasting life,(John 17:3 -And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent). again,Many teach Jesus is the Father and knows all. yet Jesus even showed he dont know when the end would come,only is Father,(Mark 13:32 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father).
These scriptures alone shows if one's teaching the truth or not. God didnt make it hard for one to find the truth. But satan made it easier for one to NOT really want the truth. first he uses things of the world which seems like fun. be-it immoral or innocent in appearance. and secondly he uses false ministers to fool their flocks with SOME lies. These are not ministers of God.
(1).2Cor.-11:13-15, For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works,(they will be destroyed).
(2).Matt.23:13 -But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.(theyre not going to make it because of their partly false teachings. And itll cause their followers not to make it).
Therell soon be a time where itll be too late to learn Jehovahs words,[This most likely would be then end], Amos 8:11,12,( Still many would all of the sudden want to know Jehovah God,because theyll be afraid of his anger).
True ministers teach his followers to be no part of the world,because thatll only make them enemies to Jehovah,(James 4:4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God
?). Dont be fooled, its not referring to literal people cheating on their mates, Its again spiritual. We cant be in a sense spiritually married to righteousness, yet want to deal with wickedness. Its like being married,yet out in the world fooling around. Jehovah is not having it, and if anyones thinking, I serve Jesus! Well Jesus serves his Father
so hes NOT having it either!
there will be true teachings even up to the end. Jehovah doesnt MAKE anyone worship him. He sent his son to teach and die for us. We say we love and believe Jesus words. Yet were calling him a liar,when he shows he isnt the Father. just like then,so is today, though many refuse to believe. There is only one true teaching. This is why Gods words says to get out off her,(Isa.52:11 ). and he didnt mean a literal woman, Her meaning false religion/teachings.
We can point fingers and hate those who prove were teaching wrong. Or we can say I want to be seen as Jesus spiritual family. if not,Then were stay right where were at, On the road which leads to destruction. peace
