The LORD is with you, while ye be with him; and if ye seek him, he will be found of you; GOD Will Forsake You (Page 2)
Many that make claim to being in the Faith of Good and Righteousness, are enabling themselves and others to sin and/or be lukewarm in faith, because they are not listening to what the LORD has Voice in scriptures concerning unrighteous individuals that have forsaked God, His Good and Righteousness.
Romans 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
Romans 1:28-32 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them. Romans 3:5 But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I speak as a man) 1 Corinthians 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Romans 6:13 Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. 2 Thessalonians 2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 2 Thessalonians 2:12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. 2 Peter 2:12-16 But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption; And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you; Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children: Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness; But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man's voice forbad the madness of the prophet.
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
1 John 5:17 All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death.
Many do not truly follow in the footsteps of Christ to Heaven, neither do they walk as He walked. Instead they serve God with all kinds of excuses why they cannot be Holy, Pure, and Righteous.
1 John 2:29 If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.
1 Peter 1:16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.
Ephesians 5:27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
1 Timothy 5:22 Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men's sins: keep thyself pure.
The most famous excuse amongst those that make claims of being in the Faith of Good and Righteousness is, "my flesh is weak". What does the scriptures say concerning this?1 John 3:3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
Romans 7:22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:
Romans 7:25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
Romans 8:4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
Galatians 5:25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. The LORD will not forsake the Righteous! But who are the Righteous?
Psalms 37:25 I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
The Righteous are those that keep and live His Law of Good and Righteousness, the Ten Commandments, that is Jesus Christ now and forevermore! Job 4:7 Remember, I pray thee, who ever perished, being innocent? or where were the righteous cut off? Job 36:7 He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous: but with kings are they on the throne; yea, he doth establish them for ever, and they are exalted. Psalms 1:6 For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish. Psalms 5:12 For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield. Psalms 34:15 The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry. Psalms 37:17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD upholdeth the righteous. Psalms 37:21 The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous sheweth mercy, and giveth. Psalms 118:20 This gate of the LORD, into which the righteous shall enter. Psalms 146:8 The LORD openeth the eyes of the blind: the LORD raiseth them that are bowed down: the LORD loveth the righteous: Proverbs 2:7 He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly. Proverbs 10:30 The righteous shall never be removed: but the wicked shall not inhabit the earth. 1 Peter 3:12 For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.
Hebrews 2:18 For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.
Hebrews 4:15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Hebrews 5:8 Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered; I Peter 2:21-22 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: Individuals that make claims to be in the Good and Righteous Faith cannot pick and choose what they want to follow in Christ, especially when Jesus Himself taught to keep the Ten Commandments, if you want to enter into life!
John 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.
John 14:21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. John 15:10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. Jude 1:21 Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. Matthew 19:16-19 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Many make claims that Jesus Christ was forsaken on the Cross. Jesus was fully man and fully God while on earth. Jesus crying out in pain upon the cross should never be distorted, misconstrued, nor believed at anytime that Jesus was unrighteous, because He is God, and always will be God on earth and in Heaven! Jesus (the man) was crying out to the Father in pain. He was asking GOD if He had forgotten Him,... "why hast thou forsaken me?". Jesus was in so much pain, He was seeking for it to be finished in asking the Father if He forgot about Him. No different than any man in severe pain that cries out to the Father for severe pain to end.
Matthew 27:46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
Many make claim that Job was forsaken, rather than sighting the LORD's testing or tweaking Job's faith, to afford Job a stronger faith. Again, the LORD never forsook (abandoned) Job, nor does scriptures imply such. And, all that Satan put Job through, Job never forsook the LORD.
Job 1:22 In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.
Job 42:12-13 So the LORD blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses. He had also seven sons and three daughters. Many make claims that the LORD had forsaken Israel. Scriptures say different.
Isaiah 66:22 For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain.
Many are walking away from the LORD, His Good and Righteousness, and His given Salvation for Eternal Living Life. These individuals are given permission to forsake the LORD, His Good and Righteousness, and His given Salvation by their religious leaders or their selves, through the ignoring, distorting, manipulating, and changing of the meaning of what God did Voice in the scriptures!Jeremiah 51:5 For Israel hath not been forsaken, nor Judah of his God, of the LORD of hosts; though their land was filled with sin against the Holy One of Israel. 2 Kings 8:19 Yet the LORD would not destroy Judah for David his servant's sake, as he promised him to give him alway a light, and to his children. Jeremiah 31:7 For thus saith the LORD; Sing with gladness for Jacob, and shout among the chief of the nations: publish ye, praise ye, and say, O LORD, save thy people, the remnant of Israel. Zephaniah 3:13 The remnant of Israel shall not do iniquity, nor speak lies; neither shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth: for they shall feed and lie down, and none shall make them afraid. Romans 11:1 I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. Many that claim to be in Good and Righteous Faith, do not really know the LORD God nor truly follow His Physical Being that is Jesus Christ, His GOOD and Righteousness, yet believe they do know Him and are following Him. These same individuals continue to ignore, distort, manipulate, and change the meaning of what He did Voice in the scriptures to their own liking! "I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee" voiced in Hebrews 13:5 is not a blanket statement that applies to everyone. Paul is expressing it to certain individuals for a specific reason. It applies only to the righteous. If you are not seeking to be Good and Righteous now and forevermore, then it does not apply to you.
Hebrews 13:5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
Those that do not abide in Good and Righteous, the LORD does give over to a reprobate mind.
Romans 1:28-32 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
The LORD is not our servant to do our bidding as we please. He does not follow us around to clean up our mess as we go about doing our own selfish reprobate will that is unrighteous, improper, disgraceful, shameful, and anything else that is contrary to being a Son of God. The LORD will never leave an individual when they walk in Good and Righteousness, but they certainly can leave Him, and His Good and Righteousness within their walk and given Salvation for Eternal Living Life. The LORD is a God of free will. He does afford all His created intellectual beings the freedom to choose. He will freely let us go, giving us up to our own reprobate mind,... forsake us.
Micah 6:8 He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?
Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil. Psalms 37:27 Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore. 1 John 3:7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. The LORD has never promised that he will stand by our side no matter what, nor never leave us or forsake us if we choose unrighteousness over His Good and Righteousness. Never! No where in the scriptures does it say such. To think that way is ignorant of the scriptures at the very least, very arrogant to live by, and down right evil at its worse. Thinking that way will get individuals into so much trouble! They cannot be out doing the ways of the world thinking that the LORD's got their back, because when things go wrong, and the LORD is nowhere to be found, these same individuals will get angry, forsake Him, and/or blame Him for their troubles, thinking He lied and left them. Even though sometimes things just happen, because of the sin in the world, these individual should examine their faith, if they have stepped out of Faith and/or left God, His Good and Righteousness.
Luke 8:13 They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.
Hebrews 3:12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. Hebrews 6:4-6 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame. 1 Timothy 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2 Peter 2:20-22 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.
1 Corinthians 6:11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
We can again corrupt what Christ has purified, if we partake of sin, not confess and repent with a contrite heart, nor seek to overcome sin.1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. The LORD is Pure and Perfect Good all the time. Sin, its waywardness, and unrighteousness does destroy all that the LORD does create with His Good and Love.
Psalms 25:8 Good and upright is the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners in the way.
He will never ever support, embrace, or stand by evil, sin, or unrighteousness that causes so much death and destruction to that which He created with Good and Love. It is wrong on so many levels to think the LORD would stand by, support, or embrace any evil or sin.Psalms 19:8 The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes. Proverbs 30:5 Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. 1 John 3:3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. GOD's plan does enable all wayward individuals on earth to become given the chance to know His Good and Righteousness, that is found in the Ten Commandments and Jesus Christ that does overcome sin. If an individual does follow and keep His Good and Righteousness now and forevermore, it does make them worthy enough to be able to live and exist in the LORD's Good and Righteous Heaven with GOD! GOD's plan is to obtain as many individuals as possible to reflect and represent His Good and Righteousness upon this wayward planet and throughout the universe as Righteous Sons of God. Those worthy of His Eternal Living Life!
Matthew 10:38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.
Matthew 22:8 Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy. Luke 21:36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. Ephesians 4:1 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, Colossians 1:10 That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; 1 Thessalonians 2:12 That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory. 2 Thessalonians 1:5 Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer: 2 Thessalonians 1:11 Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power: Revelation 3:4 Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy. Revelation 16:6 For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy. Ephesians 5:27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. If an individual chooses to not walk and abide in, nor adhere to the LORD's Good and Righteousness that is in Jesus Christ and the Ten Commandments, then He knows them not! He will forsake them with Good reason!
Matthew 7:22-23 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Matthew 25:10-12 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. Luke 13:24-27 Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able. When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are: Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets. But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity. ![]() |
