The Great Commission preacher guilt and pressure tactic is using the 'supposed' need to learn the 'deep things of God!'

• Luke 5:4 -  Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.
• Luke 6:48 -  He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.
• However, in order for the 'normal' people to learn the deep things of God, they would need the pastors / evangelists / teachers / professors, etc. with their ability to go deep for them.
• Greek / Hebrew
• Originals
• Misc. studies, etc.
• All the modern bibles studied together coming to their own conclusions
• College / Institute pizzazz
• Pastoral final authority
• The Know-it-alls!

• I Corinthians 13:8-10

• Colossians 1:9 - For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;
• II Timothy 2:7 -  Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things.
• Ephesians 1:18a - The eyes of your understanding being enlightened;...
• II Corinthians 1:12 - For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward.
• II Corinthians 11:3 -  But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

• They have to go somewhere else to 'go deep.'
• Gap Theory
• Geocentricity
• Contradiction hunts
• Word correction parties
• wrongly dividing 'attempts' at explanations coming to their own personal conclusions
• manipulating people for gain proving godliness
• guilt producing preaching
• going so deep, the folks don't understand, so they just follow the person!
• good words, fair speeches deceiving the simple
• vain words
• enticing words of man's wisdom, etc.
• They will miss the results of going 'deep' for people!
• self glory - personal pride - supposing that gain is godliness, etc.!
• money!
• fame!
• prestige!
• love!
• kindness!
• respect!
• etc.

• It is all available from rightly dividing and Paul!
• Galatians 1:11-16 - But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ. For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it: And profited in the Jews' religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers. But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace, To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:
• Ephesians 3:1-12
• and ANYBODY can learn these "deep things of God" because the Spirit has revealed them to us through a rightly divided King James Bible!
• I Corinthians 14:20 - Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men.
• Ephesians 4:14 - That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
• I Corinthians 16:13 - Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.

• II Corinthians 12:7 - And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.
• There are those who take what they think & claim God has 'given' them by direct revelation and in their heart, etc. - they strive for being exalted, etc.
• They are those that seem to be somewhat...
• Galatians 2:6 - But of these who seemed to be somewhat, (whatsoever they were, it maketh no matter to me: God accepteth no man's person:) for they who seemed to be somewhat in conference added nothing to me:

1.  The Living God

• I Timothy 4:10 - For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe.
• I Timothy 6:17 - Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;
• versus the Unknown God!
• Acts 17:16-30
• To whom do these folks pray?  ...worship this music today, etc.?  ...think they are 'hearing from?'  received those 'revealed' 'new' teachings of today?
• Another Jesus?  Another Spirit?  Another gospel?
• Who are the ministers for the teachings of 'righteousness' today?
• II Corinthians 11:1-4
• II Corinthians 11:13-15 - For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

• Romans 11:22 - Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
• Titus 3:4 - But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,
• Romans 2:4 - Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?
• II Thessalonians 1:11 - Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power:

• I Timothy 2:2 - For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
• I Timothy 3:16 - And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
• I Timothy 2:9-10 - In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.
• I Timothy 4:7,8 - But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness. For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.
• I Timothy 6:3-6 -  If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; ... supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.  But godliness with contentment is great gain.
• II Timothy 3:5 - Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

• John 3:16 - For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
• Ah, but there is more - the way of God more perfectly...
• Ephesians 3:14-19a
• II Thessalonians 2:16,17 - Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace, Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work.
• II Thessalonians 3:5 - And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.
• Titus 3:4-7 - But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
• Romans 5:5-9 - And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
• Romans 8:38 - For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

• For the saved:
• Romans 14:10 - But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
• II Corinthians 5:10 - For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
• I Corinthians 3:10-15
• For the lost:
• Revelation 20:11-15
• Personal?
• I Corinthians 11:28,31
• In your personal examination and self judgment, you won't find any sin; only good or bad works for our judgment seat!
• Lacking in faith
• I Thessalonians 3:10 - Night and day praying exceedingly that we might see your face, and might perfect that which is lacking in your faith?
• Ephesians 4:15 - But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
• Ephesians 2:21 - In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:
• Philippians 1:5-11
• Romans 2:1-6 - Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things. But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things. And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God? Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance? But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God; Who will render to every man according to his deeds:
• But not to judge someone else!
• Romans 10:10-14 - But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God. Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's way. I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
• But if you need to, then avoid, withdraw from, have no company with, mark then, cast off, have no fellowship, neither give heed, reject, note them, etc.

• Not Matthew 6:14,15 - For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
• That was the teachings / sayings of the earthly Jesus towards to the Jews - NOT the Gentiles!
• According to the Risen Saviour through Paul
• Ephesians 1:7 - In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
• Acts 26:18 - To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.

• Colossians 2:13 - And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
• Towards others according to the Risen Saviour through Paul to us today:
• Ephesians 4:32 - And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
• Colossians 3:13 - Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.

• These are just a few thoughts and verses on sin and what Christ did for us concerning 'sin.'
• Read, study and learn - then meditate over and over in Romans 5-8
• Issue is 'sin' vs 'sinning'
• Reckon yourselves dead to sin - Romans 6:11 - Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
• Made freed from sin - Romans 6:22 - But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.
• Romans 4:15 - Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.

• We are not under the law as a believer!
• Romans 10:4 - For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
• Romans 6:14 - For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
• I Corinthians 6:12 - All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.
• etc. and so much more available for us to know...

• not psychology, etc.
• old nature, etc.
• Romans 7:15-23 - Paul had the same battles!

• Paul reveals them all!

• We can ALSO read Hebrews through Jude - they are tribulational doctrine TO the people during the Tribulation - NOT TO US TODAY!
• The rest is sealed, according to Daniel 12.
• No books from any author is going to show us anything new other than what is already in the KJB!

• No - that was the church during the Great Commission time!
• Ephesians 4,5
• Yes - today - from the Risen Saviour through Paul to us!
• When did the 'church' begin?
• It is a big issue among Paul followers - the gracers, etc.
• Not an important issue at all today!
• Acts 2?  Acts 9?  Acts 13?  Acts 18?   Acts 28?  With Paul?   With Peter?   With John?   With Moses?
• Read Galatians 1:13 - For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it:
• The 'church of God' existed before Paul!
• See Matthew 16:13-18 - the church began with believing that Jesus was the Christ - the Son of the living God!

• No contradictions!
• No private interpretation!
• No confusion!
• Plain & simple!
• II Timothy 2:15,16
• I Timothy 6:20,21

• Isaiah 14 - be like the most High
• Ezekiel 28 - His beginnings
