Idolatry!

Colossians 3:5 “Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry”.

To covet is to yearn to possess or have something.

It’s that time of year again – massive brain washing in the name of covetousness – to keep the traditions of men!

Jer 10: 3-5 “For THE CUSTOMS OF THE PEOPLE ARE VAIN: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not. They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good”.

Matt 4:4 “But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God”.

Luke 6:46 “And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?

December 25th is not Christ’s birthday. If Christ wanted us to celebrate his birth it would have been written in the word of God. This world’s story of Christmas in ALL its many ways are lies formed by the deceiver John 8:44, its music is pumped at us everywhere.                                                                                                                          

Ephesians 2:2 “Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to THE PRINCE OF THE POWER OF THE AIR, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience.”                 

The biblical story of the virgin birth was the foretold fulfillment of prophecy Isa 7:14, Matt 5:23, 1 Peter 1:20, Isa 9:6 to prove Christ.

2 Cor 11:13-15 “For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works”.

God hates lies Pro 6:16-19. If you truly love God you will only do what his word John 1:1 says – you must prove all things 1 Thes 5:21 for yourself.

John 14:15 “If ye love me, keep my commandments”. 

Ex 20: 3-7 “Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I THE LORD THY GOD AM A JEALOUS GOD, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; And SHEWING MERCY UNTO THOUSANDS OF THEM THAT LOVE ME, AND KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS”.

1 Timothy 6:10 “For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows”.

Mark 7:9 “And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that YE MAY KEEP YOUR OWN TRADITION”.

Setting up and serving a tree gifts – (For where your treasure is there your heart will be also, Matt 6:21) - in the name of Christ (Christ mas) is Idolatry through covetousness! It is sheep following sheep. It is not following the word of God - it is following the teachings of mankind’s traditions.

Revelation 18:4 “And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues”.

1 John 2:15 “LOVE NOT THE WORLD, NEITHER THE THINGS THAT ARE IN THE WORLD. If any man love the world, THE LOVE OF THE FATHER IS NOT IN HIM”.

1 Peter 2:25 “For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls”.

Matthew 7:15 “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves”.

Matthew 15:14 “Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch”.

Ex 20:17 “Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, NOR ANY THING that is thy neighbour's”.

Mark 12:30 “And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment”.

1 Corinthians 10:14 “Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry”.
