God's Truth: beware of the do gooder ....

Dearly beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, how that one day is with the Lord, as a thousand year, and a thousand year as one day. The Lord is not slack to fulfil his promise, as some men count slackness: but is patient to us ward, and would have no man lost, but would receive all men to repentance.

Behold in a nightmare of the dark season ...of the times and time ..of the season of man ...see son of man ...

and i was taken and shown like a one room apartment ...the the kitchen shared ...in a run down house ...in a wicked city of man ...on the filthy face of the earth ...

and there was a man there ..and he had little ...yet he had much ...

and there came to him a woman with fatherless children ...and he had compassion on the woman and on the children ...and was like a father to them ...

and of the little he had he gave them much ...and of the much that he had he gave them much ...that is to say in spirit and truth and in love he was plenteous.

and the more ...for came the elderly the homeless the helpless and the full of hurt ...

and all these did the man minister to ...in spirit and truth ...of the much he had ...and also of the little he had ....

and more was given to him ...that he could minister more ...

and i saw a wife ...and the wife joined in ...to this measure ...that her ...wants ....were satisfied ...

and if her wants were satisfied ...then she would want that her wants ...would be assured ...

and thereof having her wants satisfied and assured ...then she was able to give ...according to as she thought within herself was "good" enough ...

and i looked and Behold the wife appeared as an harlot ...and her garment and covering the same ...even to the showing of her nakedness ...

and the more ...for there entered in others...would persuade away any ...from the spirit and the truth of God our father and Jesus our brother ...

and set aside the works of God and Christ in any man ...done freely ...in spirit and truth ...

and replace all that might be within ...the heart and soul and mind of any ...with the temples and churches ...institutions and organizations ...and traditions of man ...

and all this that ...the man ...or any man ...that would not be able to minister freely ...but must be bound to the works of men ...

and so it was that works of man ...tried to replace ...the miracles of God our father and Christ our brother and Lord ...

and so man ...called his own works "good" ...and even called them "mighty works"... even before he performed them he called all the things that he "thought" ..."good" ...

evenso that any man ...would say that the works of his religion or his church or his organization or his traditions ...were the works of God and Christ... within him ...

and none would say that God himself ...his father ...or Jesus himself ...his brother ...were able to minister to him ...themselves ...

and to tell him what was worthy or not to do ...according to the will of God ...

and came to remembrance a scripture

how that Peter "thought" that it was not necessary for Jesus to go to Jerusalem and there to be crucified ...

and to this Jesus answered get behind me satan ...

THE GOSPELL OF ST. MARK Chpt 8

And Jesus went out and his disciples into the towns that long to the city called Cesarea Philippi. And by the way he asked his disciples saying: whom do men say that I am? And they answered: some say that thou art John Baptist: some say *Helias: and some one of the Prophets. And he said unto them: But whom say ye that I am? Peter answered and said unto him thou art very Christ. And he charged them, that they should tell no man of it. And he began to teach them, how that the son of man must suffer many things, and should be reproved of the elders and of the high Priests and Scribes, and be killed, and after three days arise again. And he spake that saying openly. And Peter took him aside, and began to chide him. Then he turned about, and looked on his disciples, and rebuked Peter saying. Go after me Satan. For thou savourest not the things of God but the things of men.

and Tyndale wrote nearly 500 years ago ...in the Parable of the Wicked Mammon

Beware of thy good intent, good mind, good affection, or zeal, as they call it. Peter of a good mind, and of a good affection or zeal, chid Christ, Matthew 26, because that he said he must go to Jerusalem, and there be slain; but Christ called him Satan for his labor, a name that belongeth to the devil, and said, “That he perceived not godly things, but worldly.” Of a good intent, and of a fervent affection to Christ, the sons of Zebedee would have had fire to come down from heaven to consume the Samaritans, Luke 9; but Christ rebuked them, saying that they wist not of what spirit they were: that is, that they understood not how that they were altogether worldly and fleshly-minded. Peter smote Malchus of a good zeal; but Christ condemned his deed. The very Jews of a good intent, and of a good zeal, slew Christ and persecuted the apostles, as Paul beareth them record, Romans 10; “I bear them record (saith he) that they have a fervent mind to God-ward, but not according to knowledge.” It is another thing then, to do of a good mind, and to do of knowledge. Labor for knowledge; that thou mayest know God’s will, and what he would have thee to do. Our mind, intent, and affection or zeal, are blind; and all that we do of them, is damned of God: and for that cause hath God made a testament between him and us, wherein is contained both what he would have us to do, and what he would have us to ask of him. See therefore that thou do nothing to please God withal, but that he commandeth; neither ask any thing of him, but that he hath promised thee. The Jews also, as it appeareth, slew Stephen of a good zeal; because he proved by the scripture, that God dwelleth not in churches or temples made with hands.
