Thyatira: Love Counterfeited (Part C)

Jezebel, a figure of speech chosen by the Lord, represents imported evil and a church catastrophe when permitted. Wrong thinking leads to wrong living, and doctrine is where we get that from. The purpose of doctrine is to please God, not to show off to people. God will have His witnesses, but those in Thyatira who are impenitent will not benefit from it. The plan of salvation is 100% understandable, and no one can say that's a deep, deep doctrine. The lack of concern for truth in so many churches is their downfall. [... more]
