(King James Version)
Indeed Christ is admonishing us to know Him more deeper. Not just letters from a book, or a mere doctrine, or just objectively. He wants us to seek the truth, and the only truth can be found in Christ. That's why christianity today has such a shallow understanding of Christ, to the point that they don't even touch the book of Revelations, where you will really have a clear picture of who the enemy is, and how he operates.
Definitely agree. It drives me nuts how lukewarm the church is. On one hand, I get it, most are "seeker friendly." But most churches don't provide ways for people to dive in deeper. And if they do, it's outdated by decades. Hoping the online communities like this one can supply the kind of meat folks seek when they seek truth.
I thank the Lord that i have taken up a life-study of the the Book of Revelations. If Christianity really seek the truth, they should know that the Lord hates the "lukewarm."
I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth."
This is the church in Laodicea.
I would love to share more about this but i have to sleep now. Oh Lord recover us more and more so we can see the truth and reality of all things. Praise you Lord!
The reason most churches don't address the book of Revelation is because the popular interpretation of that book revolves around the notion that Christians won't be here during the fulfillment of most of it due to the "rapture" which is associated with the second coming of Christ. This in turn makes most of its content irrelevant. Jesus' generation was wrong about the nature of Messiah's appearing, and this generation is doing the same, which is why it will be spewed out of Christ's mouth.
