They are even threatened with losing their &quot;spiritual covering&quot; if they come to understand that their leadership is behaving improperly, and accused of &quot;touching the Lord&#039;s anointed&quot; if they dare to even question such actions!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Biblilliterates: Outsourcing Life with God<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">I can affirm that, at least here in Brazil and regardless of age, the vast majority of those who call themselves Christians do not have sufficient biblical knowledge to individually defend the gospel of Christ simply because\u2014in the name of a false, politically correct \u201cgoodness\u201d\u2014they have given up exercising their authority to, out of convenience and laziness, pay people who supposedly should replace them in their daily communion with God, to share, on weekends, in summary (the faster the better) everything that would take much longer to experience and learn\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">We have a multitude of conservatives who don&#039;t even know what they&#039;re trying to conserve, always making concessions to the putrid ideologies highlighted by the media: no matter what&#039;s being spewed on TV, they are people incapable of resisting and who simply open their souls, consume, and reflect on any agenda imposed by the principalities and powers that govern the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">In the face of established apostasy and the evil days we are witnessing, many rumors of &quot;revival&quot; are heard, but this multitude of biblilliterate people proves to be increasingly enslaved by an irrational mysticism that leads them to practices as anachronistic as, for example, seeking the reestablishment of sacrifices in the Temple of Solomon... as if Christ&#039;s sacrifice had not been the last and sufficient one!<br>Therefore, as always, I will repeat and act as if the words of the apostle Paul were my own:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-blockquote uagb-block-b36f7da8 uagb-blockquote__skin-border uagb-blockquote__stack-img-none bible-quote\"><blockquote class=\"uagb-blockquote\"><div class=\"uagb-blockquote__content\"><span class=\"tadv-color\" style=\"color:#9b51e0\">In this regard, we have much to teach, a subject difficult to explain, especially since you have become indolent in learning.<br>Although by this time you should already be teachers,<br>You still need someone to teach you the elementary principles of God&#039;s Word once more.<br>You need milk again, when you should already be receiving solid food!<br>Now, anyone who needs to feed on milk is still a child and has no experience in learning about justice.<br>However, solid food is for adults.,<br>who, through constant exercise of faith, have become capable of <a href=\"https:\/\/piorevangelho.online\/en\/2021\/10\/judgment-and-verdict\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"9231\">to discern both good and evil<\/a>.<\/span><\/div><footer><div class=\"uagb-blockquote__author-wrap uagb-blockquote__author-at-left\"><cite class=\"uagb-blockquote__author\"><strong><strong>(Hebrews 5:11-14 \u2013 KJA)<\/strong><\/strong><\/cite><\/div><\/footer><\/blockquote><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">TRUNCATED OFFERS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Once\u2014back when I still viewed churches as temples and gave talks there under the illusion that apostasy could at least be delayed\u2014I participated in a &quot;music clinic&quot; where I had the opportunity to personally meet the late Sister [name missing]. <a aria-label=\"Eudora Pitrowski Sales (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/missoesnacionais\/photos\/a.470359143048593.1073741831.117964051621439\/694419193975919\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\">Eudora Pitrowski Sales<\/a> \u2014 musician, composer, and witness to the evolution (or degradation?) of praise in ecclesiastical institutions \u2014 who even gave practical demonstrations of how, in 1991, she &quot;evolved&quot; from the traditional Christian Hymnal (CC) to the strange <a aria-label=\"HCC (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hinologia.org\/hinario-para-o-culto-cristao-hcc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\">HCC<\/a> (Hymnal for Christian Worship), the major keys of the triumphant hymns were altered to minor keys, making them &quot;old,&quot; melancholic...even repulsive to new generations!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Looking back on this now, in 2021 and in the face of the apostasy stemming from progressivism, I realize that this true implosion that propelled the disassociation between ecclesiastical franchises\u2014not only Baptists, but all so-called \u201ctraditional denominations\u201d\u2014and the Church had been orchestrated for a long time: it is superficial to think that this deconstruction was promoted only to boost the gospel industry\u2026 it may have been the secret pretext, but Satan has a long-term plan to be enthroned!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Although this is an interesting topic, I will focus on another peculiar episode that Sister Eudora shared with us, involving one of her relatives whose daughter worked at &quot;Rio de Janeiro Refrescos&quot;\u2014aka Coca-Cola\u2014and, during a summer trip, urgently needed some documentation that, far from the current &quot;digital age,&quot; could only be obtained at the company&#039;s headquarters, across from Botafogo beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">The mother received the phone call and offered to retrieve the papers\u2014which were already prepared on the president&#039;s desk, just waiting to be picked up\u2014and send them by mail that same day. However, since she lived relatively close and given the heat, she chose to wear shorts (below the knees) and a simple t-shirt to carry out her mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">It&#039;s worth mentioning here that Coca-Cola is a company that seems to make a point of presenting itself as totally youthful and relaxed, but that mother, upon arriving at reception, ended up having an unpleasant surprise: she was scrutinized from head to toe by the employee who, given the location she needed to access to sign the forms and obtain the documents, simply prevented her entry and informed her that THOSE CLOTHES WERE NOT APPROPRIATE, forcing that woman to return home to dress in a manner &quot;compatible&quot; with the place and only then complete her task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Seeking the &quot;Rational&quot; in Current Cults<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">That was the title of the lecture I gave right after hers.<br>I believe it is important to emphasize that, after years of studying and observing events, I no longer see the Church being represented by ecclesiastical businesses, especially after the Lord separated me from them by allowing me to become deaf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">I try to avoid conflict with those who fail to understand that God is not restricted to any particular building since the veil of the Holy of Holies was torn from top to bottom at the time of Christ&#039;s death, but the problem is that some of these people, in addition to ignoring the pestilent apostasy that prevails, promote a behavioral paradox that is incomprehensible upon careful analysis:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>IF THE BUILDING IS THE TEMPLE<\/strong> Therefore, they should behave as if it were the &quot;company president&#039;s office,&quot; where everything should be done for His benefit and solely to please Him, according to several biblical passages, some of which I will highlight:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-blockquote uagb-block-1fbfd633

is revealed when, at the same time as they want to &quot;meet God&quot;\u2014as if His full manifestation were restricted to ecclesiastical enterprises\u2014they also want to convert Him to their own conveniences, thinking they can widen the narrow path, force Him to accept any kind of insane act as an offering, and that, since they won&#039;t be burned alive at the end of the spectacle, this is more than enough and they will have &quot;a blessed week&quot;...<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Down the throat: When intention isn&#039;t enough\u2026<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Towards the end, when I gave the floor for questions, two young women who were sitting at the back of the hall spoke up indignantly: they were from the dance \u201cministry\u201d and argued that rational worship could never be the way I had presented it, because THEIR INTENTION was to glorify and praise, and for that they GAVE THEIR BEST\u2026<br>I admit that I feel great sadness at my obligation to present only the Truth of the Scriptures to those who live in illusions, but in response to the questioning I could not help but cite to them the episode of Nadab and Abihu:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-blockquote uagb-block-00af9973 uagb-blockquote__skin-border uagb-blockquote__stack-img-none

their censer, put incense in it, lit the fire, and presented it as an offering to the Lord.<br>However, they did not do this according to God&#039;s laws.,<br>And that is why He did not accept their offer.<br>Suddenly, a flame came out from before the LORD and consumed them.,<br>And they perished right there, where God was.<br>Then Moses said to Aaron, \u201cThis is what the Lord declared when he said:<br>\u2018&#039;Those who approach me must honor my holiness,&#039;,<br>And before all the people I will demonstrate my glory!&#039;\u2019<br>Aaron, however, remained silent.<\/span><\/div><footer><div class=\"uagb-blockquote__author-wrap uagb-blockquote__author-at-left\"><cite class=\"uagb-blockquote__author\"><strong>(Leviticus 10:1-3 \u2013 KJA)<\/strong><\/cite><\/div><\/footer><\/blockquote><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I could also have cited Cain&#039;s offering, because in both cases the big problem wasn&#039;t the quality of the offerings\u2014there&#039;s no record that Cain&#039;s vegetables were bad or that the fire lit by Moses&#039; nephews was anything out of the ordinary\u2014but their complete inappropriateness: they gave WHAT THEY WANTED TO GIVE and not what had been previously established by the Lord God\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Similarly, today we find dances, theater, women dressed as prostitutes\u2026 other gospels and countless \u201cmodernities\u201d being introduced into a supposed \u201cworship\u201d that is increasingly ceasing to be offered to the Lord God and serving only to be attended by creatures seeking to satisfy the needs of their ego and reinforce their self-esteem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">GOD&#039;S &quot;GRANDCHILDREN&quot;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Everything&#039;s over: goodbyes, hugs, handshakes\u2026 then a sister, a long-time acquaintance, comes along to inquire\u2014even without biblical arguments to defend her \u201cloving\u201d politically correct position\u2014about my resistance to the use of dance during services, resorting to her strongest argument\u2026 her \u201csecret weapon\u201d to try and convince me:<br>\u2014 It&#039;s because my son is part of the group of <a href=\"https:\/\/piorevangelho.online\/en\/portfolio\/prophetic-worship\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">prophetic dance<\/a> And he told me that if he can no longer dance in church, he&#039;d rather go back to the world!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">I really don&#039;t know if she expected to cause a stir, but that phrase only served to make me even more disappointed with her son, who at the time was already over 23 years old and, not working, lived off a pension he received from his father.<br>Without fear and based on the Scriptures, I could only answer:<br>\u2014 If your son depends on dancing to stay in the job, it&#039;s because he has never truly known or even converted to the Lord God: it would be better if he were already in the &quot;world&quot; than classifying his lust as ministry and encouraging other young people to follow the same path!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">She turned pale (I don&#039;t know if from anger or surprise), but before she could say anything, I read the following passage to her:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-blockquote uagb-block-b083fce5

style=\"color:#9b51e0\">We see, therefore, that the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials and to hold the wicked for punishment on the Day of Judgment.,<br>especially those who follow the immoral desires of the flesh and despise all constituted authority.<br>Bold and arrogant!<br>Such people are not even afraid to insult the glorious celestial beings;<br>(\u2026)<br>Therefore, if after escaping the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,<br>They are once again influenced and overcome by them.,<br>His final condition became even worse than the first.<br>For it would have been better for them not to have known the Way of righteousness.<br>rather than, after knowing it, turn their backs on the holy commandment that had been given to them.<br>In this way, the truth of the proverb that says is confirmed in them:<br>\u201c&quot;The dog returns to its vomit.&quot;\u201d<br>And more:<br>\u201c&quot;The washed sow returns to wallowing in the mud.&quot;.<\/span><\/div><footer><div class=\"uagb-blockquote__author-wrap uagb-blockquote__author-at-left\"><cite class=\"uagb-blockquote__author\"><strong>(2\u207f\u1d48 Peter 2:9-10 \/

that young man (even towards his own family), I ended up upsetting that lady, but I believe that despite my apparent harshness, I would only be wicked and despicable if I lied and distorted the Word of God to comfort her through a lie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Promises out of context<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Unable to find a word that would soothe his son&#039;s itch, he finally formulated a new question intending to &quot;collect&quot; on a famous &quot;promise,&quot; invented by taking a phrase out of its original biblical context:<br>But isn&#039;t it written that if we believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, we and our household will be saved?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">I took a breath, leaned against the wall, and calmly read the passage with her. <strong><span style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-purple-color\"><span class=\"tadv-color\" style=\"color:#9b51e0\">Acts 16:16-40<\/span><\/span><\/strong>.<br>At the time, I had already published, and anyone who had read the study &quot;Chronology&quot; could understand, that such a phrase was never a broad and unrestricted biblical promise: it was said by Paul and Silas to the jailer who, at that specific moment, feared for his safety\u2014and that of his family\u2014since he awoke to find the prison doors wide open.<br>This natural impulse of parents wanting to save their children through their faith is by no means a biblical constant; otherwise, David would have saved Absalom\u2026 not to mention all the generations of Jewish kings where there was always a rotten apple in the middle of the story!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">My heart was heavy, but\u2026 what more could that mother do?<br>He made sure his son attended church from a very young age, and even as a newborn, he was presented in front of the church!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">He grew up attending Bible school\u2014both Sunday and vacation classes\u2014with impeccable regularity and winning every Bible quiz\u2026 he had absolutely everything to be a Christian, but at some point between adolescence and young adulthood he ended up being led astray: first by the \u201crenewing ideas\u201d of spiritual movements, then by political ideologies, and finally, he rebelled and distanced himself from everything!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">He went out into the \u201coutside world\u201d and even got involved in demonstrations by people with sexual orientations different from the original biblical specifications: now he was in the \u201cdance ministry,\u201d and I could understand all the worry this mother felt about the possibility of her son returning to that \u201coutside world\u201d\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">It would be so easy to have each mother take a photo of her children, anoint it with oil boiled in the holy bonfire, and keep it for seven weeks inside a pillow made of angel wing feathers, and say that this &quot;proof of faith&quot; would save their souls... but only after a deposit: 30% of everything in my account, of course!<br>I could see hope sprouting in their suffering lives, and without a doubt, everyone would think I was the nicest guy in the world!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-blockquote uagb-block-f2332ce1 uagb-blockquote__skin-quotation

discovering that artificial intelligence is already capable of identifying my &quot;authorial style&quot;...<br>What to do?<br>Pretending to turn into a sweet treat?!?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Oh, for goodness sake: this here is \u201c<strong>THE WORST<\/strong> &quot;Gospel&quot; because, even though I have softened my famous harshness from the old days, I have no intention of softening the Truth of Scripture to make my discourse more flowery and palatable to this generation full of frills!<br>I am aware of my shortcomings, and I know that they don&#039;t qualify as &quot;sin,&quot; and that I depend entirely on the Lord Jesus Christ\u2014and not on some improbable and unattainable &quot;personal perfection&quot;\u2014to achieve salvation!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Thank you for reading this far, and I truly need any help you can offer: comments, shares, and reactions help
