"How To Resist Those Who Would Bring You Into Bondage

As the world getting ready to start the new years, let us beware of those who would bring us into bondage of any kind. It is easy to get into bondage, getting out is another story. It only takes a few days to run up our credit card, pay it off is not as easy as it seem.

2 Corinthians 11:20-AV For ye suffer, if a man bring you into bondage, if a man devour [you], if a man take [of you], if a man exalt himself, if a man smite you on the face.

Galatians 2:4-AV And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage:

BONDAGE OF WHAT FOOD TO EAT.

1 Corinthians 8:8-AV But meat commendeth us not to God: for neither, if we eat, are we the better; neither, if we eat not, are we the worse. 1Corinthians 8:9-AV But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak. 1Corinthians 8:10-AV For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the idol's temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols;

1Timothy 4:1-AV 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; 1 Timothy 4:2-AV Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; 1Timothy 4:3-AV Forbidding to marry, [and commanding] to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. 1Timothy 4:4-AV For every creature of God [is] good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:

BONDAGE OF DAY OF WORSHIP.

Colossians 2:16-AV Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath [days]: Colossians 2:17-AV Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body [is] of Christ.

The New Testament does not force any special day of worship upon New Testament Christians. You are free to worship God on any day are night you choose. So do not get me wrong, a Christian is free to go to church on Saturday or Sunday, but it is not for salvation reasons. The religious leaders know this, but if they should say it, they think that they will loose members. Because it is plainly written in the scriptures.

Romans 14:5-AV One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day [alike]. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. )( If you look closely, you will see that this verses teach that you can worship God an any day you choose. "Let Every Man"

Lamentations 2:6-AV And he hath violently taken away his tabernacle, as [if it were of] a garden: he hath destroyed his places of the assembly: the LORD hath caused the solemn feasts and sabbaths to be forgotten in Zion, and hath despised in the indignation of his anger the king and the priest. " The Lord hath caused the solemn feasts and Sabbaths to be Forgotten" It did not say Constantine, or Sunday worshipers cause it to be forgotten.

THE OLD TESTAMENT AND NEW TESTAMENT PEOPLE DID NOT KEEP THE LAW.

Our Lord Jesus say " None of you keepeth the law" For all the big bad talk, about keeping laws and keeping Sabbaths, they never truly did. Those who were saved, are those who came back to God for grace.

John 7:19-AV Did not Moses give you the law, and [yet] none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me? John 7:20-AV The people answered and said, Thou hast a devil: who goeth about to kill thee? John 7:21-AV Jesus answered and said unto them, I have done one work, and ye all marvel. John 7:22-AV Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision; (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and ye on the sabbath day circumcise a man. John 7:23-AV If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the sabbath day?

BONDAGE OF WHAT CLOTHING YOU ARE TO WEAR

Matthew 23:5-AV But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,

Joel 2:13-AV And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he [is] gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.

BONDAGE OF HOW MUCH TO GIVE TO THE CHURCH.

2 Corinthians 9:7-AV Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, [so let him give]; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. (#1) As you purposeth in your heart)

1Corinthians 16:2-AV Upon the first [day] of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as [God] hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come. (#2) As God hath prospered you)

Acts 20:7-AV And upon the first [day] of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.

BONDAGE OF THINKING.

Philippians 4:8-AV Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things [are] honest, whatsoever things [are] just, whatsoever things [are] pure, whatsoever things [are] lovely, whatsoever things [are] of good report; if [there be] any virtue, and if [there be] any praise, think on these things.)( You must never follow religious leaders blindly. Do your own thinking, make your own decisions.

THE END.
