The first type of whore
---The Church United with the King of the Earth---
Let’s study the Bible in Revelation 17:1-6. One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came to me and said, “Come here, and I will show you the punishment for the great whore who sits on the waters. See you. The kings of the earth have committed adultery with her, and those who live on the earth have become drunk with the wine of her fornication.”… On her forehead is a name written: “Mystery, Babylon the Great, the whore of the earth.” "Mother of abominations." And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints and the blood of the witnesses of Jesus. When I saw her, I was greatly amazed. Note: The church in which the king of the earth and the church are unified → is a "mystery"! On the outside is the "Christian Church", and you can't tell the truth from the false. It's called a "mystery" → But inside, the kings of the earth are committing adultery with "her", the church, colluding with each other, using worldly principles and human philosophy, and they don't follow them. The teachings of Christ are taught to you according to human traditions → This "church" is the mystery - the church of the whore of Babylon the Great.
The second kind of whore
---Friends of the world---
James 4:4 You adulterers, don’t you know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore, anyone who wants to be a friend of the world is an enemy of God. See Gal. 5:19 and John 1:2:16.
[Note]: The first type of adulteress is easier to identify, that is, the church and the king of the earth are in alliance with each other for mutual benefit. On the outside, she wears the name of the church of "Christ", but on the inside she commits adultery with the king, shouting "Jesus" in her mouth, but in fact her head and authority are the king. . In most churches in the world, many people are drunk with the wine of her fornication, which is the world's Neo-Confucianism and the misleading fallacies. This means that the church has combined the world's philosophies, Neo-Confucianism, such as Taoism, Confucianism, Buddhism and others. Pure and unmixed thoughts and doctrines are introduced into the church. Many have received the word of an adulteress and the spirits of demons, the evil spirits born of the “mother” of abominations. They were all drunk there, and did not know the truth;
The second kind of adulteress is a friend of the world, like idolaters, witchcraft, adultery, impurity, drunkenness, orgies, etc. who have a love for the world; you steal, kill, commit adultery, swear perjury, and burn incense to Baal. , and followed other gods that they did not know - refer to Jeremiah 7:9.
The third kind of whore
---Based on the observance of the law---
( 1 ) The law governs people while you are alive
Romans Chapter 7 Verse 1 Now I say to you, brothers, who understand the law, Do you not know that the law governs a person while he is alive?
[Note]: This means that - when we were in the flesh, we were already sold to sin - refer to Romans Chapter 7:14 → Therefore, while our flesh is alive, that is, the "sin body" is still alive, we are bound and guarded by the law - Gal. 3 Chapter 22 - Verse 23, because the power of sin is the law, as long as we live, that is, as long as "sinners" live, we are governed and restricted by the law. So, do you understand?
( 2 ) The relationship between sin and the law is "likened" to the relationship between a woman and her husband
Romans 7:2-3 Just as a woman has a husband, she is bound by the law as long as the husband lives; but if the husband dies, she is freed from the law of the husband. Therefore, if her husband is alive and she is married to someone else, she is called an adulteress; if her husband dies, she is freed from his law, and even if she is married to someone else, she is not an adulteress.
[Note]: The apostle Paul used [ sin and law ] relationship compare to ［ woman and husband ]relation! As long as the husband is alive, a woman is bound by her husband's marriage law. If a woman marries someone else, she is violating the marriage law. She is committing adultery, and she is called an adulteress. If the husband dies, the woman is freed from the law of her husband. Even if she is married to someone else, she is not called an adulteress. If a wife abandons her husband and marries another woman, she is committing adultery. --Mark 10:12 "Committing adultery of the flesh."
Romans 7:4 So, my brothers, you also died to the law through the body of Christ, so that you might belong to others, to Him who is alive from the dead, that we might bear fruit to God. .
( 3 ) If a woman "sinner" lives and comes to Christ, she is an adulteress
" sinner "comparison" woman "If alive, there is no direction" law" Right now husband die ," sinner "No" break away " The constraints of the husband’s law, "If you return" Christ ", you just call" adulteress "That is [ spiritual whore ]. So, do you understand clearly?
Many people are like "pigs" who have been cleansed and go back to rolling in the mud; they cry "Lord, Lord" with their lips and turn around "in their hearts" and return to the Old Testament law. husband" date. In other words, if you have "two" husbands → one Old Testament husband and one "New Testament" husband, you are an "adult → spiritual adulteress" ". Galatians 4:5 God sent his only begotten Son to redeem those who were under the "law" so that you might come to the Lord Jesus Christ; but many "returned" and wanted to be slaves under the law. Being sinners. These people are "committing adultery", "spiritual adultery, and are called spiritual adulterers." So, do you understand?
Luke 6:46 The Lord Jesus said: "Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord' and do not obey my words? You say! Is that right?" Romans 7:6 But since we are binding our Being dead to the law is now "free" from the law, allowing us to serve the Lord. "Sinners who are not free from the law cannot serve the Lord." Do you understand that we must serve the Lord according to the spirit (spirit: or translated as the Holy Spirit)? The new way, not the old way according to the rites.
alright! Today I would like to share my fellowship with you all. May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the inspiration of the Holy Spirit be always with you all! Amen
