Who Said Pimpin' ain't Easy? And Why Many Professing Christians Should Just Quit Christianity

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

I'll tell you the secret to save your soul exchange for your money.

As a Christian I'm so angry and frustrated with how these pulpit pimpin false teachers of the Bible create a image of what Christianity isn't about at all. These ministers of Satan have done so much damage to Christianity that it causes outsiders to jeer at Christians and Christianity. All these monsters care about is money, houses, condos and private jets. And will stop at nothing including twisting Bible scriptures to further their personal gain.

Jesus said in Matthew 7:15: Beware of false prophets (Bible teachers) who come to you in Sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.

Many are called but few are choosen.

False and lukewarm Christians are the main reason why false teachers have always existed. One reason among many is because Christians hardly if ever read their Bible. Many Christians have no idea what the Bible actually teaches. Some may qoute their favorite scriptures but overall are completely ignorant of the Bible and how to spot a crook in the pulpit, therefore leading them to follow liars and thieves in suits.

Jesus said in Matthew 15:14: "Let them alone. They are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind leads the blind, both will fall into a ditch."

I for one don't feel sorry when they get swindled for every penny by these snakes.

2 Peter 2:1-3: But there were also false prophets among people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who brought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction. And many will follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed.

By covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words; for a long time their judgment has not been idle, and their destruction does not slumber.

Jesus did say, his sheep knows his voice and by no means will follow the voice of strangers AKA false teachers.

Choose whom you will serve.

Look, I understand being a Christian is hard. We are fallen sinful humans after all. Have bad days, get annyoned and get temepted with sin, and sometimes give into those temptations. However, practicing a lifestyle of puroposly disobedience to Christ isn't Christianity at all. Jesus said in Luke 6:46: "But why do you call Me Lord, Lord and do not the things which I say"? If you truly desire not to serve Christ but rather your sins of drunkness, premarital sex and drugs etc, then just quit Christianity and spare Christianity and Christians a bad rap. Christians won't stone or behead you for leaving Christianity. You're not obligated and free to leave. Best wishes.😊

I'll admit, if you ask me today... I feel I'm lukewarm Christian. Which is admittedly worse... ya know the whole "it's better to be hot or cold" thing. But I think a larger problem is that nobody truly wants to be "Christian". They want the watered down feel good version instead of the cover to cover truth version, because that truth version, boy, that one will step on your toes. That one leaves you feeling guilty. So these feel good christians flock to these pimpin ministers so that they can sleep a little easier at night and walk with their heads a little higher because they raised their hand, said "Amen" and dropped some bills in the offering plate on Sunday.

And realistically even if we were to rid the world of these salary ministers and feel good christians, it would still leave Christianity and the true followers who have always and will always have a target on the heads. You can read that in John, something along the lines of "if you were of the world, the world would love you. But because I have chosen you out of the world, the world hateth you".

So you just can't focus on it. Focus on your walk, focus on being the light.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Thank you for honesty. I myself am struggling bad right now. I feel like quitting being a Christian. I'm so tired of denying myself of pleasure in particular sexual pleasure like fornicating. I feel I can't go on any longer. All my life I've been deprived. And I'm just sick and tired already.

[Neverrrmore]

Well keep your head up. We're all struggling, and we are all at different places in our walk. Take care = )

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Thmaks a lot. I'm sure am trying to remain strong.

[skeptic002]

its part of the occult agenda Billy graham is also a part of it

get all religions together
create a problem
then create a savior to come in
to worship, they are trying to recreate the ancient past WHERE THE EARTH WAS WORSHIPPING THE SERPENT GOD

James 4:4
Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God

[btbc92]

I agree 100% with this as I always believed. But, I also believe that God knows who is truly who, and will still call those even in the darkest depths of their hearts and still pull them out IF they truly desire! We still have to remain in prayer and be prayer warriors every day, even for the unsaved. That is still our job. It would be a lot easier if that was to be so, but I still say that he is in control over any situation. It is never too late to change, but time is running out. And if they knowingly do this, then God is not mocked. And will reap what was sowed. But false prophets and teachers he will definitely deal with on the day of judgement.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Did you ever felt like quitting Christianity? Be honest.

I love God and all but sometimes it really gets to me a lot.

[btbc92]

Never. I never felt that way. I always wanted to grow closer to God. I thank God everyday that when she was conceived with me before term that she went to get prayed for and for me before I was born. I believe God broke all those curses of premarital sex, alcohol, etc in me before my birth. I think about it all the time as to why I was stronger and wiser is certain areas, why I was born the way I was. And it was through Jesus. My advice for you: Trust in God. You will have your trials and tribulations in your own life, but he will get you're through it as long as you continue to believe in him. Never give up. Because it will benefit the journey.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Thank you. God forbid I stop following him. It's just really rough at times. I think all Christians go through it at one point or another.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

So you never felt discouraged or weak in your walk as a Christian? Because that would be unbelievable too me. We all Christians have to fight off the sinful flesh daily. Like porn, adultery, fornication and bitterness.

[btbc92]

There's no need. I know myself as a person, therefore why should I question it? Yes, everybody at some point questions about something. But this was never something I had to question. I did wonder what life would have been like for me if I wasn't. And I say that it probably wouldn't be as bad. I think my personality says a lot for itself. I know that I was chosen for a reason like many of us were. I would eventually found out about Christ and come to him anyway. But I did come across resentment and bitterness because of what wrongs was done to me. I didn't realize it until 21/22. God had to reveal that to me. But I never struggled on other areas that was really bad. We're human, but I never saw the need to go that far. When you're covered with the blood of the Lamb, he will protect you from a lot of things. Even in sin, he will cover because he knows your heart. But all of us will have to come to repentance and reap what we sowed in the process. That is something most is not learning.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

You don't struggle with temptation to sin?

[btbc92]

Of course! Temptation of this life is natural. But I just don't struggle as much with it in areas most people do. There are things I felt tempted to do, and things I don't. I just learn not to pay attention to it. And God is still working in me not to. That is why meditating on his word is important.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

💖 You're special I think. You're probably a proverbs 31 woman.

[btbc92]

Nah. I'm no Proverbs 31 woman. I'm just myself. And all glory goes to the Lord. And the people who influenced my mother at the time for me to be prayed for before my birth. I think a lot of women mostly needs to focus on their own gifts and let the Proverbs 31 woman be fostered in her own. That is what God wants most of all. To be inspired, not to be somebody else.

[writing_essays]

I agree. The first thing that comes to mind when I read all these sexual questions online is that THESE PEOPLE HAVE NO RESPECT FOR GOD and don't care AT ALL what God says. I actually have one guy sending me death threats for preaching against sin online. I get about 20 death threats from him a day. Other people refused to socialize with me and some people swore at me and mocked me for telling them it was wrong to pursue a sexual relationship with their professors etc...

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

You mean on GAG?

[writing_essays]

he mocks me on GAG on very rare occasions but for the most part he spams yahoo answers with insulting questions about me over and over again. He will reference things I said 4 months ago or 1 year ago to avoid getting caught cause he knows the police are not going to check what I posted online 1 year ago when I make posts everyday.

[I-am-a-nobody]

Yes, there are false teachers and people who are in ministry for the money, but a whole lot of preachers work tirelessly with little or no reward.

We also have to realize that God's plan is for those who preach to be given enough to live on. (The whole "don't muzzle the ox" thing)

1 Cor 9:11,14
If we sowed spiritual things in you, is it too much if we reap material things from you?
In the same way, the Lord commanded that those who proclaim the gospel should get their living by the gospel.

I'm curious, who's "flying" on that jet?

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Joyce Meyer, Creflo Dollar, Benny Hinn and Kenneth Copeland. All of them are pimps. The whole TBN TV preachers are frauds.

[I-am-a-nobody]

OK, now I recognize them.
Yeah, I agree with your assessment.
Just wanting to be careful not to paint over legitimate ministers with a broad brush.
Being a minister would be a very hard job, if you care about God and for people.
If you don't care about God (wolf in sheep's clothing), then it would be easy.

[Anonymous]

It's the non believers that have put this label on these evangelists, saying they're false and only after money. They all started out with nothing and God has blessed them beyond. And he will do the same for anyone. Watching Joyce Meyer has helped me through some of the toughest and darkest times in my life. Don't hate these people. And if it wasn't for knowing God and being a Christian then I probably would've killed myself by now. Yes it's hard sometimes being a Christian. But we cannot let the sin of the world consume us. That's exactly what satan wants. Sure we all make mistakes and sin. I've made plenty and will be held accountable. But Gods grace is the most awesome thing. Please don't be angry. We are in the last days and satan is desperate he will do ANYTHING to turn people and keep them away from God. And we need God more than anything especially in these times

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Please go read your Bible. All those preachers on the plane are liars and thieves.

[John_Doesnt]

The greatest pimp of all time was the creator of Christian religions. He's got a bunch of virgin women doing whatever he says.

[JamesCX]

I have a question about the last image:
Why is Jesus stealing that poor man's drugs?
He should get his own if he wants them! Just my point of view.

[btbc92]

He's not stealing it. The picture is depicting to show that Jesus is telling you 'Don't poison your body! It will kill you!' Our bodies are supposed to be temples for the Holy spirit. When sin is done to the body, you committed that act against your body. A person who truly loves and cares about you would want to you to stop doing wrong. But they cannot force you if you refuse to listen.

[JamesCX]

@btbc92 Ha Thank you for clarifying that to me! But Jesus shouldn't do drugs either... since I truly love and care for Him, I should do those drugs instead!

[MlleCake]

I saw you misquote/misinterpret the Bible yourself earlier. You're on a funny high horse, since you yourself do much of what you criticized in others.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

What I did wrong? Correct me.

[MlleCake]

I already did in the other thread. You're criticizing people for not reading the Bible, and I showed where you believe things are in the Bible that aren't. And here you're criticizing others for cherry picking verses and then you do just that.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

What things you showed me that aren't true? You just stated your opinions. Opinions aren't true.

[MlleCake]

The lake-of-fire doesn't refer to hell, and your concept of heaven isn't described in the Bible. Those are both facts. But still you claim to be a literalist. What did Eve eat off the tree in Eden and share with Adam?

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Matthew 5:11-12:

“Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

Yet heaven isn't a Bibical concept? Smh

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

You loves lies huh?

[MlleCake]

No one is persecuting you or saying evil against you. Just pointing out the paradox in your words.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

I asked you on the other thread do you believe in heaven and the lake of fire and you said as professing Christian you neither believe or disbelieve. You said that not me.

[MlleCake]

That isn't exactly what I said. I don't think you read very well. But again I ask you, what did Eve eat from the tre?

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Unbelievable! Why you love lies so much? And the Bible says it was a fruit without naming the kind of fruit.

[MlleCake]

Ok good. You got that. Do you realize many people think the Bible says it was an apple? Historically it was often considered to be a quince. But you're right, it doesn't actually say. What I am trying to tell you is that certain things you thing the Bible says, it isn't saying.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Like what?

[MlleCake]

I already explained it in the other thread and this one.
