Christians are the Worst

Time for a serious talk about judgment and grace.

Below are the notes that I had written and was reading from. I decided to go ahead and include these here so that people could look up the scriptures I referenced. All scriptures quotes are from the CJB bible.

Condemned

I can’t stand drama, I won’t watch YouTube channels of people who dish it up, if I hear people going on about something – drama queens – I completely tune out. I can’t abide it.

This channel is not about drama, it isn’t about conflict. I strive to make this channel a sanctuary and a place of peace where the presence of God is felt.

I share scriptures, I share my faith, I help women learn how to cook for their families and care for their home like a Titus 2 woman should.

So I am going to apologize now, that there is even a need to address this. But I am going to address this once, and as far as I am concerned it will be the last time I ever talk about it.

I’ve talked in the past about how when you are living for the Lord and walking out your faith, there will always be challenges and struggles. That when you try to be the light that we as believers are called to be, that it draws the swarms, likes moths to a flame. You’ll start taking attacks left and right.

The more you shine light, the bigger and brighter you try to make that light, the worse the attacks will be.

I put myself on the internet, I talk about my faith, and the attacks come.

But sadly most of it is from people who call themselves believers. So-called Christians are the worst when it comes to spewing venom.

Once again they are coming out from under every rock to attack me over my tattoos of all things. Never mind that I have already addressed this topic.

Never mind that I am not actively getting tattoos, as I addressed previously.

Never mind that they don’t even know me.

Lots of people who are quick to tell me what I am doing wrong or how I am a lost sinner. They deeply feel the need to correct me.

Matthew 18 15-17   – “Moreover, if your brother commits a sin against you, go and show him his fault — but privately, just between the two of you. If he listens to you, you have won back your brother. ¹⁶ If he doesn’t listen, take one or two others with you so that every accusation can be supported by the testimony of two or three witnesses.^[b] 17 If he refuses to hear them, tell the congregation; and if he refuses to listen even to the congregation, treat him as you would a pagan or a tax-collector. 

These people feel the need to correct me, but have any of them come to me biblically? Privately? My email address is public. Now truthfully I can’t get to all of my emails, as I get countless emails every day, but I have not had a single person come to me “one on one” as a concerned sister.

Rather they “call me out” in the comment section trying to cut me with their keyboard swords.

In Romans chapter 14, there is a lengthy discussion about believers judging other believers over something as petty as food. It’s about food, but this principle stands

Romans 14: 1-4

Now as for a person whose trust is weak, welcome him — but not to get into arguments over opinions. ²One person has the trust that will allow him to eat anything, while another whose trust is weak eats only vegetables. The one who eats anything must not look down on the one who abstains; and the abstainer must not pass judgment on the one who eats anything, because God has accepted him — ⁴who are you to pass judgment on someone else’s servant? It is before his own master that he will stand or fall; and the fact is that he will stand, because the Lord is able to make him stand.

 ¹³ Therefore, let’s stop passing judgment on each other! Instead, make this one judgment — not to put a stumbling block or a snare in a brother’s way.

People saying that I am not saved or not a Christian because I have tattoos are bearing false witness against me. They are condemning me according to my past works.

They are also bearing false witness against Yeshua – Jesus. They are saying that the blood of the lamb, can not redeem. That it is not enough. That it falls short. That it can wash away every sort of sin, but not the act of getting tattoos.

People angry with me for trying to walk as Messiah walked, saying we’re not saved by our works, (which I’ve never said) but at the same time saying I am condemned because my PAST works aren’t good enough?

Which is it? Are we saved by grace through the blood of the lamb, or are we saved by works? You can’t have it both ways.

Matthew 7 “Don’t judge, so that you won’t be judged. For the way you judge others is how you will be judged — the measure with which you measure out will be used to measure to you. Why do you see the splinter in your brother’s eye but not notice the log in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the splinter out of your eye,’ when you have the log in your own eye? You hypocrite! First, take the log out of your own eye; then you will see clearly, so that you can remove the splinter from your brother’s eye!

Everyone will be measured by how you measure others. Be careful. Will you be able to stand up to the scrutiny of that standard? I have a lot of people judging me over the scars that were left by the splinters that I used to have. Nevermind that those splinters were pulled a long time ago.

1 Corinthians 15  talks about our hope in the resurrection.  But we can take those same admonitions and point them towards our hope and faith in the atoning sacrifice and redemption of our Messiah Jesus – Yeshua.

As I read the following, every time I mention the resurrection, think of our redemption:

¹² But if it has been proclaimed that the Messiah has been raised from the dead, how is it that some of you are saying there is no such thing as a resurrection of the dead? ¹³ If there is no resurrection of the dead, then the Messiah has not been raised; ¹⁴ and if the Messiah has not been raised, then what we have proclaimed is in vain; also your trust is in vain; ¹⁵ furthermore, we are shown up as false witnesses for God in having testified that God raised up the Messiah, whom he did not raise if it is true that the dead are not raised. ¹⁶ For if the dead are not raised, then the Messiah has not been raised either; ¹⁷ and if the Messiah has not been raised, your trust is useless, and you are still in your sins. ¹⁸ Also, if this is the case, those who died in union with the Messiah are lost. ¹⁹ If it is only for this life that we have put our hope in the Messiah, we are more pitiable than anyone.

²⁰ But the fact is that the Messiah has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have died”

If there is no redemption, we are all a sorry lot, and how pitiful we are.

Christians – do you believe in the power of the Blood of the Lamb or not?

Do you believe that we are born again and washed clean or not?

Do you believe it is by FAITH that we are saved or do I have to EARN YOUR APPROVAL THROUGH MY WORKS to be saved?

I’ve had people tell me that I have to have my tattoos removed to be a Christian, or that I should shut my mouth from talking about the things of the bible until I do.

“can‘t stand to look at me with all my tattoos.”

Tell me, are you going to volunteer to pay for it?  Do you really think the tattoos from my past disqualify me from serving God when

Thomas doubted?

Peter denied Christ?

Abraham was a liar?

Jacob was a deceiver?

David and Paul were murderers?

I thank GOD that I am not to stand before those so-called Christians on judgement day.

And yes, I say so-called Christians, because to be a Christian means to be a follower of Christ. The Messiah. The Anointed one. The Redeemer, the Lamb of God.

But do they? Do they follow his commands? Walk the way he walked? Live the way he instructed us to live?

So many so called Christians are being terrible witnesses, by tearing down others. Doing the work of the enemy by being accusers of the brethren. Satan must be sitting back and just laughing his butt off.

Why would ANYONE look at those people, and think “Wow, I want to be just like them. Let me give my life to God so I can condemn other people…or be condemned by them too!”

We live in a time when people are being held guilty for the so-called sins of ancestors who looked like them. There is no redemption. There is no forgiveness. Once guilty in their eyes, ALWAYS guilty.

There is no forgiveness, there is no redemption, the bible full of lies and written by man.

But THOSE are the lies of the enemy.  And that is a lie from the pit of hell.

2 Timothy 3

3 Moreover, understand this: in the acharit-hayamim (end of the age)  will come trying times. ² People will be self-loving, money-loving, proud, arrogant, insulting, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, ³ heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, uncontrolled, brutal, hateful of good, ⁴ traitorous, headstrong, swollen with conceit, loving pleasure rather than God, ⁵ as they retain the outer form of religion but deny its power.

Stay away from these people! ⁶ For some of them worm their way into homes and get control of weak-willed women who are heaped with sins and swayed by various impulses, ⁷ who are always learning but never able to come to full knowledge of the truth. ⁸ In the same way as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moshe, so also these people oppose the truth. They are people with corrupted minds, whose trust cannot pass the test. ⁹ However, they won’t get very far; because everyone will see how stupid they are, just as happened with those two.

¹⁰ But you, you have closely followed my teaching, conduct, purpose in life, trust, steadfastness, love and perseverance — ¹¹ as well as the persecutions and sufferings that came my way in Antioch, Iconium and Lystra. What persecutions I endured! Yet the Lord rescued me from all of them. ¹² And indeed, all who want to live a godly life united with the Messiah Yeshua will be persecuted, ¹³ while evil people and impostors will go from bad to worse, deceiving others and being deceived themselves.

¹⁴ But you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, recalling the people from whom you learned it; ¹⁵ and recalling too how from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which can give you the wisdom that leads to deliverance through trusting in Yeshua the Messiah. ¹⁶ All Scripture is God-breathed and is valuable for teaching the truth, convicting of sin, correcting faults and training in right living; ¹⁷ thus anyone who belongs to God may be fully equipped for every good work.

To my sweet subscribers who get upset on my behalf when things like this happen. Let me assure you that these things don’t hurt my feelings. I don’t lose a moment of sleep over them. I’ve been a target of the enemy for a long time, and if I wasn’t a target, THEN I’d be worried, because I decided a long time ago that I wanted to live my life worthy of it.

To “the haters” – those people who call themselves Christ followers, yet they attack me for not living up to THEIR standards…. Those who judge me over my past, your words don’t hurt me.

They are water off a duck’s back to me.

But I am praying for you.

I am praying that you don’t have stubborn and hard hearts and that the Holy Spirit can convict you over this.

Convict you tearing down others.

Of saying that the sacrifice of Christ was not enough.

I am praying for your soul and for your hard hearts to be softened while you still have the time.

John 13: ³⁴ “I am giving you a new command: that you keep on loving each other. In the same way that I have loved you, you are also to keep on loving each other. ³⁵ Everyone will know that you are my talmidim by the fact that you have love for each other.”
