Just hung up the phone with someone I've known for almost 3 years..that I don't ever intend to talk to again...like my family, the only thing they're interested in is whether something is legal and how much $$$$ they will make...that's not the way it used to be....but maybe it was and I just didn't understand it.
[let] the wicked become more wicked,
[let] the righteous will be more righteous.
HEBREW? anyone...
...
long ago(decades) in grade and high school, and college, then work places, people I knew SEEMED to be living right, or trying/wanting to. (AND AT FIRST, when i began being immersed daily in Yahshua, i naively thought that most of the country, especially chruches, were 'saved' and living right and true. After time and testing and revelation, it is seen that only A REMNANT.)
now, after decades, or a few years, the truth comes out... they(almost all) are living for MONEY, for SOCIAL STANDING, without a thought of turning to YHVH for HIS WAY/LIFE/HELP/HEALING.
....
As the trials increase in time, duration, magnitude,
those
people/family/friends/chruches
who were not in Yahshua to start with, only pretending,
oh, they may still maintain a facade - "looks"... they usually do trying not to be embarrassed, ashamed of their sins if they have any conscience at all left /(not yet totally seared away through constant sin),
and
the chruches encourage this white-washing.
the righteous do
'repent, for the rule of yhvh is at hand'....
..
judas(the chruches), however, goes to do what he must.
