“Whosoever
transgresseth, and abideth not in the
doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of
Christ, he
hath both the Father and the Son. If there come any unto you, and bring
not
this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God
speed:
For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.”
(2 John
1:9-11)
People who
use this phrase today generally water it
down to “good speed”.
Christians
are commanded not to wish unbelievers
“the speed of God” or “good speed” or “Have a good day” … Why? They
can’t if
they are outside of Christ … and to do so, makes you a partaker in
their evil
deeds.
Would God
want the unbeliever to have good days
without him? Of course not!
Furthermore,
it is stupid to tell an unbeliever to
have a ‘good day/God day’ if they are not in Christ.
Number 19:
“to come to a bitter end”
“For the
lips of a strange woman drop as an
honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil: But her end is bitter
as
wormwood, sharp as a twoedged sword.” (Proverbs 5:3-4)
This is
having casual sex with any woman and the
Bible calls her a whore … a promiscuous woman … a strange woman … a
harlot, and
can only lead to a bitter end. The end result of getting involved with
her is
described as a two edged sword … which is sharpened on both sides, and
to a
point, for greater thrusting, penetrating and deadly effect.
“Absinthe”
is the ingredient in the herb wormwood,
that is toxic and causes death.
The Bible
does not have the phrases “fooling
around” or “having an affair” as these are worldly terms that water
down the
seriousness of the sin of fornication and adultery.
Number 20:
“the blind leading the blind”
“Let them
alone: they be blind leaders of the
blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall
into the
ditch.” (Matthew 15:14)
People who
don’t know what they are doing, they are
blind, lead those who are also blind.
In the
case of the Pharisees, the religious
leaders, they were spiritually blind and could only take the people
down a
blind alley.
One would
not seek directions from a physically
blind man … so why seek direction from a spiritually blind man? You
don’t!
Like
today, they needed Jesus to see spiritually …
but they refused him.
