America's churches are rich and filled with covetousness...


Act 2:44 And all that believed were together, and had all things common;
Act 2:45 And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.


Act 4:32 And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.

Like it or not, whatever 'church' you belong to, your stuff is supposed to belong to the whole body according to Scripture. That's right-you, as a body of believers have all things common... Now add up all of the material stuff that a body of believers in an American church owns, and you will find that almost every local church is filthy rich. You collectively are worth millions of dollars (no one says that what he has is also his brothers though... Rather, each says what he has is his own, because he is filled with covetousness). But the truth is, according to God's word-a church (ekklesia) owns all things common. It all belongs to the church body when you become a part of it.

Yes, America's churches are rich and lukewarm and do not know it. They will be rejected because they have rejected the Scriptures.



Moreover, America's 'churches' preach to follow the Bible, but they are filled with unrighteousness;


Rom 1:29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
Rom 1:30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
Rom 1:31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

Yes, America's churches are filled with those things... Woe unto you hypocrites!

God hates a hypocrite;

Job 8:13 So are the paths of all that forget God; and the hypocrite's hope shall perish:

Job 27:8 For what is the hope of the hypocrite, though he hath gained, when God taketh away his soul?

Isa 9:16 For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed.
Isa 9:17 Therefore the Lord shall have no joy in their young men, neither shall have mercy on their fatherless and widows: for every one is an hypocrite and an evildoer, and every mouth speaketh folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

Mat 7:5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.


Mar 7:6 He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.


American Christians; Quit being hypocrites and stop preaching the gospel until you start living it.

1Co 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
1Co 6:10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

American Christians; God is being mocked because of your hypocrisy. Repent of your wickedness while there is time. Quit serving the lusts of your flesh, and start serving God...

Fact; many countries and cities 'sit on 7 hills'. What does that have to do with American churches being hypocrites? What does that have to do with American churches preaching a gospel that they themselves do not live by? What does 'the seven hills of Rome' have to do with God's name being blasphemed because of the actions of America's 'Christians'? Those are facts relative to this post. If you can refute them, by all means do so, but you know you can't because it is the truth... The evidence can be found in almost every 'Christian' church across America and you know it... And it has nothing to do with 'the seven hills of Rome'.

A scriptural throw down between Christians. I often wonder if scripture is used in every day conversation.

What would " Pass the butter," sound like using scripture?
