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; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; 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.
Observe the modern society: its pride and hate; its boasting and outcry. It is a dead thing filled to overflowing with the worship of bones by equally dead men - the bones of which I name: politics, media, entertainment, science, philosophy, religion, and ritual.
These do not see reason, for they reject reason itself - whom is Truth, the Lord God Jesus Christ. For what thing can we who do see Truth have in common with those who do not? Of what respect is owed by we who know Christ to those who do not? Should we respect their ways? No. But rather feel pity and sadness for the wickedness and deception of so many.
And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said: "I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people."
We find ourselves in these modern times surrounded by liars speaking in hypocrisy. Through Lucifer's Light (our screens) these liars dictate to the world their every hypocritical whim. Desires which they've decided obligate all people, but themselves, to self-flagellate until the world stops spinning (Oh? But did they neglect to inform you it never did?). There are too many lies to speak of. So vast and so deep does the root of lies go, that I could never even begin to meaningfully convince you of them. Do not suffer the hypocritical liars - not one utterance out of their mouths is worth even a moment of time.
And if you claim to know Christ Jesus: Why should you heed or suffer the liars, the hypocritical, the unreasonable - that is, the Christless - even their ways, commands, and beliefs? The world's societies are dead. "Come out of her My people!" is the cry of God-through-Christ to His lost sheep held captive within the bosom of the world's fornication. I cannot stand this world's ways.
"But what must we do?"
Cleave unto Christ Jesus, knowing it is only He, our Passover Lamb, that the righteous wrath of our Father shall overlook us on the Last Day.
Keep the Commandments of God - specifically the Ten and Love (you cannot go wrong in doing so!).
Do what is right: fulfill responsibilities, be helpful, be kind, allow yourself to be perceived as weak, or even perceived as having been humbled - Father knows what grace we bestow upon others. But above all, worship and praise the Lord in secret, in spirit and in Truth.
"But how then are we to live?"
God has already told us:
Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, unto all that are carried away captives, whom I have caused to be carried away from Jerusalem unto Babylon; Build ye houses, and dwell in them; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them; Take ye wives, and beget sons and daughters; and take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, that they may bear sons and daughters; that ye may be increased there, and not diminished.
We are captives in a foreign land (this fallen earth). We are in this world but not of this world. We thus owe it to God to behave accordingly - which is to mean, to behave in the manner in which we WILL behave in heaven, when He restores our mind, body, and soul. In that day, keeping His ways will be a natural delight - that is how we should live while on this earth.
Logos Prevailing.
