2004.07.D.10 The Parable Of The Leaven Created by James3 on 8/17/2019 1:08:29 PM The Parable Of The Leaven
Greetings
Further response to the message published recently.
The portion:
"Another parable He spoke to them : “The kingdom of Heaven is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal till it was all leavened”.
A shocking commentary now follows as to the meaning of the above parable.
“This parable teaches that as the years and centuries roll on, the pure Christianity of the early church will become progressively corrupt until the entire lump [ Christendom ] is leavened”."
Is particularly challenging.
Warm regards and blessings
James

The Parable of the Leaven
Matthew 13 : 33
Another parable He spoke to them : “The kingdom of Heaven is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal till it was all leavened”.
A shocking commentary now follows as to the meaning of the above parable.
“This parable teaches that as the years and centuries roll on, the pure Christianity of the early church will become progressively corrupt until the entire lump [ Christendom ] is leavened”.
Who made this commentary and have they any qualifications? The answer follows :-
The Christian Life Bible
With Master Outlines and Study Notes
This is a study bible with the Old and New Testaments based on the New King James Version.
It contains references, book introductions, concordance, subject index, study helps, maps and words of Christ in red.
The publishers are – Thomas Nelson.
Following on will be the names of the contributors who are listed as having helped compile this work.
If we look at the world today, - peace accords and no peace but wars everywhere.
Season and weather changes.
Famines and earthquakes.
Lawlessness, rape, drugs.
The cashless system around the corner.
Most enlightened will agree that we are living in end times. There is even a clock somewhere and the minute hand has been moved a little closer to the 12 and it looked to be standing at 11 : 56.
When our Saviour made a statement He was and is never wrong. This parable above must take place and due to the timing has already taken place.
Surely any sincere believer who loves the Heavenly Father and His Son would want to return to that first “pure Faith” and try to seek out and expose this “corruption” which has been mixed in so cunningly to deceive.
Is there unity in Christianity today? No! – Hundreds of denominations, each with their own story, baptism [sprinkling or immersion], charismatic gifts [ tongues or no tongues], Sunday or Seventh day keepers, Protestants and Catholics, pre or post rapture etc.
Where to look? At the worship. The enemy, Satan wants worship, “bow down and worship me”, read Matthew 4 : 9 and Luke 4 : 7.
Look at the pagan feast days that have become Christianised, the day of worship, the surrogate names that have been assigned to the Heavenly Father and his Son, the pagan symbols [the obelisk ] etc that are everywhere venerated and you will be shocked but at the same time amazed at the infinite mercy and patience of the Heavenly Father and His Son.
