Jer 35:12-15
12 Then came the word of the LORD to Jeremiah, saying, 13 "Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: 'Go and tell the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, "Will you not receive instruction to obey My words?" says the LORD. 14 "The words of Jonadab the son of Rechab, which he commanded his sons, not to drink wine, are performed; for to this day they drink none, and obey their father's commandment. But although I have spoken to you, rising early and speaking, you did not obey Me. 15 "I have also sent to you all My servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, 'Turn now everyone from his evil way, amend your doings, and do not go after other gods to serve them; then you will dwell in the land which I have given you and your fathers.' But you have not inclined your ear, nor obeyed Me.
So many people in the world and especially in the USA claim to be Christians but refuse to listen to the Lord, but rather listen to the world.
God says that fornication (sex before marriage) is sin. Yet so many people, who claim to be Christians, pretty much tell God that He is wrong and they have sex and live with someone outside of marriage, and condone others doing the same thing.
1 Cor 6:9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites,
"Come on Steve, you're just judging and the bible tells us not to judge others"
Matt 7:1 "Judge not, that you be not judged.
True and I am glad you quoted scripture. But also the scriptures tell us to judge those in the church who are outside of God's will and that teach other to be outside of His will.
1 Cor 5:11-13 11 But now I have written to you not to keep company with anyone named a brother, who is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner--not even to eat with such a person. 12 For what have I to do with judging those also who are outside? Do you not judge those who are inside? 13 But those who are outside God judges. Therefore "put away from yourselves the evil person."
Yet we accept so many things within the body of the Church (not the building but rather the people) and we seem to think that God will not judge us for doing such things.
But although I have spoken to you, rising early and speaking, you did not obey Me.
It's time to stop it Church and listen to the warning of God through His prophets, the pastors of the churches and even more so, from God's word: "I have also sent to you all My servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, 'Turn now everyone from his evil way, amend your doings, and do not go after other gods to serve them; then you will dwell in the land which I have given you and your fathers.' But you have not inclined your ear, nor obeyed Me.
