Grow and Mature – Part 1 – 8-11-25

~ Most people today, have idols on their pedestals and haven’t a clue they do and worship them too. Even Christians today get caught up in following people, as though a Man is going to provide you with ALL the answers of Truth. What if the whole world has been deceived by Satan, and lies have been passed on down through the teaching of history lies? How would you know? What if all those mega pastors are not what you think they are, how would you know? And still we prop up mega pastors and even other pastors who’s foundation is off on total forgiveness, even though many of us know full well that they teach foundational lies of satan about the word of God. Ongoing forgiveness for example, tithing for another example, church baptism for another example, and on and on it goes. Yet many simply over look those teachings as simply teaching of error, instead of teaching of the LIES of satan, and still place these entities on an idol pedestal, because after all this evangelist was well known on Tell-a-Vision, and heck, everyone talks about him. What if you found out that they were ALL Satan’s transformed ministers of false righteousness, and we didn’t really apply Faith to the equation to begin with? Would you repent today (change your mind) with having additional knowledge and information? What if the Holy Spirit showed you Truth today of things that were unknown in days gone by, would you repent, especially if it was in direct opposition against church teaching of traditions, and against written history, and against the teaching of the world, and against what your friends in the “church” believe? Would you repent of satan’s lies when being shown?

2 Corinthians 11:12 15
“But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them which desire occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we. For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.”

And don’t forget, Bob did repent (changed his mind) on the forgiveness issue of the lie of ongoing forgiveness by God that is taught by ALL churches today. He told us that. And many of us actually got kicked out of so-called churches for teaching TRUTH of forgiveness also. The Holy Spirit had shown him and most of us that Truth and he and we share it with others. What if there is more Truth to be understood in regards to satan’s lies? What if satan has had his misters to be controlled opposition teachers, planted throughout what we would call Christendom today? What if what we have been taught of the world is a lie in itself? How would you know? How do we know there is no Atonement for sins today? How do we know the word atonement is not used in the New Covenant (except in the translation lies that satan has been used in the word of God), for what Jesus did on the cross? How do we know the real word is propitiation for what Jesus did? How do we know, Jesus TOOK Away the sins of the world, and is no longer counting them against anybody today? How do we know there is no more forgiveness of sins being handed out by God today for the asking? How come, Bob and most of us who have come to the knowledge of this Truth, no longer say that Jesus atoned for sins? Because those Truths are in the word of God, and the Holy Spirit has shown most of us those Truths directly from the Word of God and we exercised Faith in regards to those Truths.

There’s only One Way to know ALL TRUTH today, and that is through the direct teaching of the Holy Spirit and through the Word of God. Nothing is as it seems today. And the Holy Spirit has much to teach us ALL in regards to ALL TRUTH. Are you listening to HIM? Or are you listening to Man and demons instead of God? What if, let’s say for example, there was identity theft that took place with the translations of the word of God, and people pretending they are someone who they are not, would you be quiet about it?

By the way, the apostle Paul was a HEBREW, not a j@@. Yet we so easily interchange those word terms today, because most everyone unknowingly teaches the lie that j@@s are HEBREWS. They are not. And the word j@@ is a made up term that has been added to ALL bible translations of the word of God. It’s not in the original language. Check it out for yourself. Yahudah and Ioudaios don’t even look like the word “J@@.” But Man and books, and other things teach it is, even though the J@@s themselves didn’t even consider themselves Hebrews until the 18th century. Interesting. Why is that? Ask the Holy Spirit for the answer.

—

The word ‘J@@’ replaced the Hebrew and Greek words for Judah in the 18th century AD.

The original manuscripts never used the word ‘J@@’.

The word ‘J@@’ is a made-up word, made up by the J@@s, are not Israelites or of the tribe of Judah. They are Edomites and are descendants of Esau.

The made-up word ‘J@@’ was added to the scriptures and replaced the original words Yahudah and Ioudaios.

A J@@ is not Yahudah (Yahudiym-plural) or Ioudaios. J@@s are Canaanite-Edomite Idumeans.

Does it matter? You bet it does. ALL TRUTH matters.

…..

And a certain ruler asked Him, saying, “Good Teacher, having done what, will I inherit eternal life?”
And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good, except God alone.

~ “Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.” 1 John 5:12

~ Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life; the one believing in Me, even if he should die, he will live. And everyone living and believing in Me shall never die, to the age. Do you believe this?” John 11:25,26
—

Pray to God:

Do you really want to know the WHOLE Truth of what is going on today?

“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.” Matthew 7:7

Lord Jesus, teach me the truth of the world today and give me the wisdom to know the truth and identify the lies of the devil. Thank you God.”

~ “So you have to get down to say, Well, which one is right? And there’s only one way you’re going to find out which one is right. Is it Catholic? Is it Protestant? Is it Buddhist? Is it Mohammed? A whole bunch of prophets out there, whole bunch of people proclaiming truth out there. Which one is right? I remember, in studying psychology, didn’t learn much about it, thank God, but I did study it in school. And you learn about Freud. I call him Fraud. You learn about Lang you learn about Skinner, you learn about all of these gurus and what they believe. And I remember in my psychological class, holding up my hand and said, Sir, which one of these is right? They said, Oh, I just got to take your pick. I thought, well, there’s a real science for you. There’s something I want to hang my hat on. Got 10 different men believe in 10 different things, about 10 different things, and I’m supposed to flip the coin and take my choice and pay my life on that. You’re kidding me. I dismissed all of it. Said, I can’t trust any of that garbage. If they can’t even agree with each other, how am I going to agree with them? How are you going to know who’s right in this religious world? How are you going to know if you don’t have a source of truth, how are you going to know? Oh, yeah. People say, Well, I don’t care. Just I’ll just do what the Church tells me. How pitiful that is, How pitiful it is that our faith is so flimsy that we say I’ve got to depend upon what the Church tells me, because the church could be lying out their teeth to me. History shows that all the way through this history shows it.” ~ Bob George

Welcome to Classic Christianity Radio with Bob George Bob’s clear, timeless teachings on the complete forgiveness and unconditional love of Jesus Christ will transform your life as you learn about God’s amazing grace. Let’s join Bob as he teaches us from God’s Word.

Bob George 0:29
There have been many, many prophets in the world, many people, like the apostles, worthy of following. But it’s interesting to me that even as an example in the Catholic world, whereby the Pope is certainly revered, that you’ve never said He’s God. Never, in all the history has he ever declared himself to be God. Revered yes, God, know we have men that we revere, men that we deeply respect. Billy Graham certainly is a man that has lived his life proclaiming Jesus to millions of people throughout the world, and we’ve looked at him as a great man and a great evangelist, but never would it ever enter our minds, would it to say, oh, Billy, He’s God. And so there are a lot of people that we have been in contact with through the world that have been admired as a person, but no one’s declared them as God, unless they’re deranged someplace in their heads. But on the other hand, this man, Jesus, is different than that. He’s unique from those people, because with Jesus and guys, this is not normal to follow a man and then declare this man was God. That is not normal any more than it would be normal to say the Pope is God, or Billy Graham is God, or Martin Luther is God. It’s not normal to even think that. And yet, these men who saw Jesus and walked with Jesus declared him to be God, and not only declared him to be God, but gave their own lives in declaration of that truth. And so it’s the uniqueness of Jesus, different than all men.

Now we have a tendency guys to be man followers, denominational followers. If you were J@@ish, J@@ish followers, one of the biggest problems that you have today with J@@ish people is they think that the opposite of a J@@ is a Christian. Nothing could be farther from the truth. The opposite of a HEBREW is a Gentile, not a Christian, and so but be with that thought. They believe you’re asking me to leave my Judaism and become a Christian. No, no, I’m asking you to leave your lostness and become saved. You’re always going to be a J@@. If you’re born a J@@, you’re always going to be a J@@. If you’re born a Gentile, you’re always going to be a Gentile. I don’t care whether you’re Sammy Davis or not, you’re going to be a Gentile. You can call yourself something different if you want to. But as far as your natural birth is concerned, you’re a Gentile, or you’re a J@@.

Three categories of people that God placed on this earth according to God, not us, but him, HEBREW, Gentile, and then what is called the ekklesia, or the called out ones, meaning the church. The church is not a denomination, folks, it’s not a denomination, it’s not an organization. The church is a mystery. It’s made up of people who are born again, spiritually, to some people, mysteriously. It’s made up not of an organization. You don’t go to church. You are the church. If you’re born again, if you’re not, you’re playing church. You play church or you are church, but the church is not an organization. It is not something to be followed. The founder is who is to be followed.

Now the problem in Corinth was there, and in her first chapter, if you want to turn with me, you can beginning in chapter in verse 10, it says, because we do not understand this truth that I’m talking about, and because it is so easy for us to become man followers or denominational followers or people followers. Paul addressed this in Corinthians, beginning in verse 10, I appeal to you, brothers in the name of our Lord Jesus, Christ said, I appeal with you, that all of you may agree with one another. Well, that’d be something new, wouldn’t it? That’d be a brand new deacons meeting. Agree with one another. How come? So that there may be no divisions among you, and that you may be perfectly united in mind and thought. God says, I want you to be united, not an organization, not trying to form a bunch of people to peoplers. I’m trying to get people to come to Jesus and to get into this Bible, not into your tradition, not Protestant tradition, nor Catholic tradition, or J@@ish tradition or Mohammed tradition. Forget it. That is not truth. Tradition is man made God’s word. Is God made? So who you going to follow, Man or God? And so he says, my brothers, I want you to be united in thought, and the way you’re united in thought is united in your understanding of the word of God. So to be no divisions among you. My brothers, some from Cleo his household have informed me that there are quarrels among you. How surprising in the church. What I mean is this. Now, look, guys, here’s what he’s saying. Here. What I mean is this. One of you says, I follow Paul. Another says, Well, I follow Apollos. And another one says, Well, I follow Peter, I follow Billy, I follow Martin. I follow the Pope. I follow Bob George. He said, are you all crazy? You know, that’s what he said, Are you nuts? I didn’t call you to be man followers. Said another, just say, I follow Christ. He said, I want to ask you a question, Is Christ divided? No, no, I follow Christ, but I follow Paul Christ. I followed. He said, Is he is he divided? Was Paul crucified for you? He said. His writing is, he said, was I crucified for you? Did I die on a cross for you? Did the pope die on the cross for you? Did Martin Luther die on the cross for you? Did anybody that you’re so enthralled with die on a cross for you, what’s the answer to that people? It’s a yes or no. Did they or didn’t they? Do you know anybody in this world that died on a cross so to take away your sins, except one man, and he’s not one of us. He’s Jesus. Are we together? So he said, What are you man followers for? You’re supposed to be following Him. But you see, we have this tendency. Well, look, I can’t see him. I can see Martin Luther. I can see the Pope. I can see Billy Graham. I can see. Said, I don’t care whether you can see him or not. Did any of them down across for you? Now, guys, the reason for this is to get us unified in thought. Just what it’s talking about. Unified in thought. You’re not going to be unified in thought when you say, I follow this man, I follow this man, I follow this man. Because if these men are thinking properly, they’re all going to be thinking the same thing, but they don’t, they don’t totally different.

So you have to get down to say, Well, which one is right? And there’s only one way you’re going to find out which one is right. Is it Catholic? Is it Protestant? Is it Buddhist? Is it Mohammed? A whole bunch of prophets out there, whole bunch of people proclaiming truth out there. Which one is right? I remember, in studying psychology, didn’t learn much about it, thank God, but I did study it in school. And you learn about Freud. I call him Fraud. You learn about Lang you learn about Skinner, you learn about all of these gurus and what they believe. And I remember in my psychological class, holding up my hand and said, Sir, which one of these is right? They said, Oh, I just got to take your pick. I thought, well, there’s a real science for you. There’s something I want to hang my hat on. Got 10 different men believe in 10 different things, about 10 different things, and I’m supposed to flip the coin and take my choice and pay my life on that. You’re kidding me. I dismissed all of it. Said, I can’t trust any of that garbage. If they can’t even agree with each other, how am I going to agree with them? How are you going to know who’s right in this religious world? How are you going to know if you don’t have a source of truth, how are you going to know? Oh, yeah. People say, Well, I don’t care. Just I’ll just do what the Church tells me. How pitiful that is, How pitiful it is that our faith is so flimsy that we say I’ve got to depend upon what the Church tells me, because the church could be lying out their teeth to me. History shows that all the way through this history shows it.

Guys want to tell you something, there is only one way to know who’s right, and I’ll tell you who’s right Jesus and where you’re going to find out what he has to say is not in your doctrinal books, it’s in this book right here. This is the record, we’re told. This is the record that God has given us eternal life. And this life is any Son. And he who has the Son has life, and he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. These things I have written unto You who believe in the name of the Son of God, in order that you may know that you have eternal life. Do you know you have eternal life? The Bible just told you and how to get it. Church comes along says, Oh no, no, you can lose that. You got to mind your P’s and Q’s. And not only that, you better start a tithing. And boy do we get into that every January, all you hear on the radio is tithing, tithing, tithing. Do you know guys, and I’m not saying what I’m saying, just to be adamant, it is not in the Bible. Tithing is not in the New Covenant. Now, if you don’t know the difference between the old and the new, why then it all flows in together anyway. And quite frankly, you ought to come here on Saturday instead of Sunday and kill a bull and goat if you’re going to cherry pick and nitpick as to what you’re going to take out of the Old Testament and drag it into the new I’m saying. Quit nit picking and bring it all over. Quit eating your pork chops. Quit eating your shrimp and tithe.

Guys, why am I as adamant on this tithing thing? Because it presents a speck of leaven that spoils the whole loaf. It’s a law that God said I want you to die to. Was this building paid off because of us standing up telling people, you better start tithing, folks? Because if you don’t, I can teach you, because if you don’t, he’s going to get you and he’s going to bless you if you do tithe there, Joe, but if you don’t, better watch it, because that finger will get you sooner or later. And people are dumb enough to believe this. Some of you agree. We’ve been taught it. I know I have. If I ask you to hold up your hand, how many of you were taught in a tithe? A lot of hands would go up. Say, why did you believe it? Well, because they taught it. Well, that’s what I’m getting at. The issue is not what your denomination taught, but with is right? Is it in there, or isn’t it in there? It isn’t there. I’ve said before, God devoted about three chapters in the book of Corinthians, three chapters, practically, of principles of giving. He said, I want you to be a hilarious giver. Isn’t that a good a good giver? One is just hilarious. It just tingle all over when they give. But you know, there is a joy to giving. You know, it’s much more blessed to give to receive. You understand the truth of that. There’s a joy to it. He said, You give in accordance to what you do have, not what you don’t have. Now there’s a real one against tithing.

We had a young couple that was here last week from Phoenix, Arizona, delightful young couple, and his Christmas present that he asked for was for he and his wife to bring to fly out here to meet us. And so last week they came, and we had a wonderful, wonderful time with each other. He explained to us how, as he was a brand new Christian a number of years ago, she was already a Christian. He became a Christian and got involved in the denomination, very, very legalistic, and they used to have Wednesday meetings in homes. In other words, they took their congregation like this and divided it up into Bible studies around the city, and they met in homes. And Wednesday was the day when you brought your tithe to the church. And so everybody would come and bring their tithe to the church, and then that will be presented on Sunday. Now that was from Wednesday to Sunday. So this one Sunday, he was in business for himself and the he said, There, the collections were slow at that week, and he came to the Wednesday meeting. Said, guys, I don’t have my tithe with me tonight, but I’ll have it Sunday. The guy said, can you go borrow it? Do you have a credit card to put it on? Can you write a post dated check? We want our money. He said, it’s Wednesday. I’ll have it Sunday. Not good enough. He ultimately went to the pastor and say, Pastor, are you telling me that if I don’t have my money on Wednesday, I’m not welcome in this church. He said, You got it. You better find yourself someplace else to go. You think this is unusual what I’m saying to you, you think it’s an unusual story? This isn’t an unusual story at all. It’s commonplace in our churches today, so legalistic, so fearful that God is not able to supply.

Guys, this has been a wonderful thing for us. Like I say, you know, God does this because of my great big faith…. I will be real honest with you, I sit back on these things, and I say, we’re $150,000 in debt. We got to do anything. I would say, Lord, you know, you know, my deal is pretty easy. Lord, it’s not. My will be done. If you want to take 10 years to play it off. That’s okay. Big faith. God said no, I’m going to do it this year. Now I say, No, you’re not, but I’m not sitting there saying, Oh, my old man, I just say, God, I believe you, and because I believe you, you’re going to do it. I mean, you’re an obligation to do it if I believe you. Now that’s taught. You just tell God what to do. We’re the initiator. He’s the responder. Do you know that the majority of people, that’s exactly what they think of God is my prayer causes him that. You kidding me? You think we’re down here bossing God around. God is the initiator. Did any of you initiate salvation? Hey, God, save me. God says. Says, Okay.

Did we have anything to do with creation? No. Did we have anything to do with salvation? No. He’s the initiator. We’re the responder. That’s why Jesus said, I don’t do anything this unique Jesus said, I don’t do anything unless the Father tells me to do it. As a matter of fact, I don’t say anything unless the Father tells me to say it and how to say it. And incidentally, man, as the Father sent me, so send I you. You got down there wearing bracelets. What would Jesus do? Well, you walk on water. Go give it a whack. You’d raise the dead. Go, give that a try. I’m not to imitate the actions of Jesus. Jesus did what the Father told him to do. What am I to do? Do what the Father tells me to do. I’m not there to imitate somebody else. I’m there to do what the Father is telling you to do. That’s what he said to Peter. What does it matter Peter, if John lives forever? I’m telling you to follow me. What I do with John is my business. I’m telling you to follow me.

And so he’s saying, quit being a man follower. Was Paul crucified for you? Were you baptized into my name? And then Paul annihilates this idea that you got to be baptized in order to be saved. Do you know there’s churches that teach that if you aren’t baptized in my church, in my denomination, by my pastor, you’re not saved. Really. Where do you find that in the Scripture? Paul said, I’m glad I didn’t baptize anybody. Well, wait a minute, this baptism isn’t as important as we’ve been made it to think it is, How could Paul, who is a writer of most of the New Testament. Not too bad of a Christian. How could Paul have said, I’m glad I didn’t baptize anybody? Oh, Crissmus and Gaius, I did, but outside of that, I didn’t baptize anyone. Why I wasn’t sent to baptize but to proclaim the gospel. Not there to dunk people. I’m there to save people. Church comes along and says, No, you got to be baptized. Really, well then how come Paul would say I didn’t baptize anyone, but to proclaim the gospel, If baptism is in the Gospel? And then explains in Corinthians that this is the gospel, death, burial and resurrection. Period, any baptism in there, guys? You can read the passage I tell you where it is now you have to look, is there any baptism in there? Death, burial and resurrection. This is the gospel that saves death, burial and resurrection. Is there any baptism in there? Is there any tongues in there is there any church membership in there is there any man following in there? Is there any denominational following in there? No. Just death, burial and resurrection. Of who? Jesus. Not any of these founders, Jesus.

So he said, Christ didn’t send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel. Listen to this, not with words of human wisdom. I’m not here to bring you human wisdom, lest the cross be emptied of its power. You know what we do when we add to the truth of the gospel? Rob it of its power. Whenever you add to the gospel, that becomes the centrality of your gospel. If you think you have to speak in tongues to be saved. That becomes the centrality of your teaching. That’s all you talk about. If you believe you have to be baptized to be saved. That’s all you talk about. If you believe that you got to go to church on Saturday instead of Sunday. That’s what that’s all you talk about. That’s, matter of fact, what you name your denomination after. Man followers, tradition followers. I follow this man’s teaching. I’m a Calvinist. Well, Whoop de do, because let me ask you a question. If Calvin had anything to say that was worthwhile saying, hopefully he learned it from Paul, and if he learned it from Paul, why don’t you just call yourself a paulinist instead of a Calvinist? And you know, if you did what Paul would say to you, Hey, hold on a minute. Who’s Paul? Who’s Peter? We’re just servants. Quit being a man follower. Folks, the world is tied up in our denominations. Paul says, as far as HEBREWISM is concerned, there was not a better HEBREW on the face of the earth than Paul. According to his own testimony, he said, I was without equal. You know what he said about all that? About my education? I was trained by the best of them. You know what he said about all of it? I consider it all dung compared to that of knowing Christ put it away. I don’t want to be called a Catholic. I don’t want to be called a Protestant. Don’t want to be called a Baptist or Presbyterian or Methodist, those are all man made. What I do want to be called is a child of the living God. That’s God made to as many as received him to them. He gave the right to become a Baptist. What’s it say? And guys, why does it say it? To as many as received him to them. He gave the right to become what? A child of God. What’s wrong with that identity? What’s wrong with that identity? I’d rather be called a Baptist or Presbyterian or Methodist or Catholic or Protestant. I know you would. That’s why I tell you to consider dung and grab a hold of what I called you. I’ve given you an identity. Man has given you an identity too that isn’t worth a flip. None of those people going to heaven, just children of God. So that’s the identity I want. That’s the only identity that I have that’s worth anything. The rest of it is going by the wayside. Say, who are you? Well, I’m a surgeon. Who would you be if your hands were cut off? Who are you? I’m a model. Who you gonna be when you get ugly?
