Today's Evangelical Teachers Follow In Israel's Apostate Footsteps

Hos 11:7  So My people are bent on turning from Me. Though they call them to the One on high, None at all exalts Him.

Mat 15:7  "You hypocrites, rightly did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying,
Mat 15:8  'THIS PEOPLE HONORS ME WITH THEIR LIPS, BUT THEIR HEART IS FAR AWAY FROM ME.
Mat 15:9  'BUT IN VAIN DO THEY WORSHIP ME, TEACHING AS DOCTRINES THE PRECEPTS OF MEN.'"

Hos 12:5  Even the LORD, the God of hosts; The LORD is His name.
Hos 12:6  Therefore, return to your God, Observe kindness and justice, And wait for your God continually.
Hos 12:7  A merchant, in whose hands are false balances, He loves to oppress.
Hos 12:8  And Ephraim said, "Surely I have become rich, I have found wealth for myself; In all my labors they will find in me No iniquity, which would be sin."

Jer 7:4  "Do not trust in deceptive words, saying, 'This is the temple of the LORD, the temple of the LORD, the temple of the LORD .'
Jer 7:5  "For if you truly amend your ways and your deeds, if you truly practice justice between a man and his neighbor,
Jer 7:6  if you do not oppress the alien, the orphan, or the widow, and do not shed innocent blood in this place, nor walk after other gods to your own ruin,
Jer 7:7  then I will let you dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers forever and ever.
Jer 7:8  "Behold, you are trusting in deceptive words to no avail.
Jer 7:9  "Will you steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and offer sacrifices to Baal, and walk after other gods that you have not known, 
Jer 7:10  then come and stand before Me in this house, which is called by My name, and say, 'We are delivered!'--that you may do all these abominations? 
Jer 7:11  "Has this house, which is called by My name, become a den of robbers in your sight? Behold, I, even I, have seen it," declares the LORD. 

Today's Evangelical teachers and leaders have the same spirit. They use false standards that measure themselves as godly and righteous, yet they are overlords, controlling and oppressing true Christians in their flock or in their audiences. In other words, their false standards measure them falsely. The reality is that by God's precise standard, they are failures and found wanting. They are frauds. They aren't righteous nor holy nor godly. They lure in Christians by selling variations of Scripture and "Jesus" as a merchandising ploy because it is lucrative for them and gives them control over the souls of men.

They redefine sin and think that it is only men who have eyes to see and they ignore Yahweh who is the Self-Existent, all seeing God. They are pragmatic and justify their means to get to their ends, claiming it's "for the cause of Christ" or it's "Gospel centered", yet they don't use biblical methods for biblical ways for biblical ends.
