Classic Christianity – We The Church – Part 2 – 9-23-25

We The Church – Part 2 – 9-23-25

~ “So then, you are no longer strangers and aliens, but are fellow citizens of the saints and of the household of God, having been built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the cornerstone, in whom the whole building, being fitted together, is increasing into a holy temple in the Lord, in whom you also are being built together for a habitation of God in the Spirit.” Ephesians 2:19-22

~ We have mentioned it numerous times, that church is NOT a physical building built by Man. The True church is the body of Christ Jesus, and everyone who is in Christ Jesus is a member of the True church. Yet there are pastors that want to promote “their church” as if you have to join “their church” and they make a huge deal of joining “their church.” Don’t join yourself to any church other than making sure you are in Christ Jesus, His church. That is the one and only one that is important.

Here’s the thing about membership with other churches, is when they write different rules that don’t match up to the word of God, and you say you are submitting to certain standards (their standards), you are setting yourself up to be swayed by satan’s lies, especially if the pastor is not teaching a proper foundation, which most of them do not. Many church memberships require submitting to their pastors and elders that you have no idea what they ALL really believe. They might sound good in some sermon snippets, but when the rubber hits the road, they may be teaching the doctrines of demons, and now you are feeling like you are tied to that church because satan convinced you that church membership was good, regardless if Truth is taught or not. This is how satan locks people into being tied into the teaching of foundational lies. Because as the Holy Spirit renews your mind, you will most likely discover that everything is out of whack with a local church assembly. And today, false teachers are revealing themselves left and right with the teaching of satan’s lies. The pastors themselves think they know it all, especially if they went to seminary training (most have). And they make a point of telling people in their bio what seminary they went to, as though that holds any weight with God. Note a degree from a seminary simply means they are indoctrinated more by the teaching of satan’s lies. But this is foolishness to God. For ALL seminaries teach the Lies of satan today. And to graduate from any seminary one has to answer the questions the right way for their particular seminary, or they do not graduate.

1 Corinthians 3:19
For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God’s sight. As it is written: “He catches the wise in their craftiness.”

So we need to understand something that is key for every believer today. You are the Temple of God, if you have the Holy Spirit living in you. He makes you part of His church. And nothing can kick you out of His church. For He has declared that He will never leave us nor forsake us no matter what.

…..

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. Luke 18:18,19

~ “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.”

~ “Guys. Do you see the importance of oneness? Do you see the dynamic of sitting in a room like this with people of all colors and creeds and backgrounds, and yet seeing each other as one? You see, is that a neat deal, or isn’t it? It is, to me, I just marvel. I just want, I just think it’s phenomenal, people of all different denominations, people of all different backgrounds, people of all different color and creed. And yet in Christ, we’re one. What brought us together? Christ, Christ, not church, not a building. We’re all here together because we like the building. No, we’re all here together because we’re all part of one body. Christ is the head and we’re the body. We’re the church. People should get that in our heads. I wish our pastors would cut this stuff out, and I hear it on radio, just cut out this. Welcome to the house of God. Welcome to grandma’s house. Hope you have a good time for an hour so you can leave.” ~ 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

Do you think and you look back on the presidents of the United States, that’s a pretty powerful office, getting weaker by the day, but it’s powerful. Do you think that Obama’s kids are going to have to go through a security guard to get in to the president’s office? Think you’re going to have to say now, before you come in, you little squirts, do you have any unconfessed sin in your life. Have you done everything necessary to come in here? You say, Well, I thought it’s your child. I thought that would be what I did necessary. I was born your child. No, no, no, it’s your behavior. You think so? No, no. No, no, I’ll guarantee you they just like John Kennedy’s young John, John and kids just walked boldly into the throne of grace, into the Oval Office, the most powerful office in the world, and say, Daddy, daddy. Why? Well, because they’re his kid. And you say, well, you dumb kid, don’t you know this the President of the United States of America? Yeah, I know he’s my dad because he’s my daddy. I have access to the throne room.

Now, folks, that is precisely what God did for you and me. He took the curtain and ripped it open and said, Now, as a child, walk in. My pride is not in the fact that I was born a Gentile. And I hope your pride isn’t the fact that you were born a HEBREW. That’s putting the importance down here. God said, I got something better for you than a natural inheritance. It’s called a spiritual inheritance. I’m going to call you a child of God. You see, don’t we take that away when this is the house of God. You see, no, no, it’s children. You’re a child of the living God. That God has called you my child, and we can call him my daddy. It sounds almost ludicrous, isn’t it, to think that the God of this universe that made this universe and the vastness of it, which our head, our heads can’t even comprehend, is big enough to make the universe and then small enough to live in our hearts and say, call me daddy. That’s really unbelievable, isn’t it? But that’s what he said. And so he says that we were without hope, but now in Jesus Christ, you were who once far away have been bought near through the blood of Christ.

For listen to this, guys. Look at this. For he himself is our peace now. We can have the Peace Corps, and we can have peace signings, and we can go on and on and on. You can go negotiate, or you cannot negotiate. But I want to tell you something. There is never going to be peace in this world until the Prince of Peace comes back and every knee shall bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. He is our peace. Peace is not something that happens. Peace is a person. Peace is Christ. There is no peace in the world until you have peace in your heart. And believe me, there is no such thing as peace in your heart, until you have the prince of peace in your heart. So he’s our peace. Now look what he did. He has made the two who are the two guys? The HEBREW and Gentile, into one, into one, new man. We should be glorying in that, not that I was born a HEBREW or I was born a Gentile. Who cares? You’ve got people on there arguing whether the HEBREWS are this or whether, who cares you’re lost. You got lost HEBREWS, you got lost Gentiles, and you got saved HEBREWS and you got saved Gentiles. Who cares about the history of the HEBREW or the history of the Gentile? People want to get involved in all that. Just get all prideful. Who cares? The issue is you’re here, and the issue is you’re lost, and the issue is, if you’re lost, do you want to remain lost or you don’t want to be saved? There’s the issue. I don’t care what your background is. We make big deals out of that, sit there and study our backgrounds. Well, I don’t know. I don’t want to go very far back into my background. And aren’t you glad that people don’t know enough about you to really tell what you’re like? I’ll not go any further into that.

He is our peace. He made the two Gentile and HEBREW, one, one person that we call what to as many as received him to them. He gave the right to become what guys, a child of God, not a HEBREW Christian, not a Gentile Christian, a Christian a child of God, not a HEBREW child, not a Gentile child, a child of God, a born again from above. Child of God made the two one and he has destroyed., guys, the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility. Now, guys, what is hostility? When you’re hostile toward somebody, it’s an enemy, isn’t it? And you’re hot, you have hostility toward one another. There’s a fear of one another. There’s hostile feelings toward one another. You’re not together. When you have a hostile relationship with your mate, you ain’t get along too well. And so it says here that he destroyed this barrier. So there was a barrier between HEBREW and Gentile, and it was a dividing wall of hostility. In other words, it divided what God wanted to do, and that was to bring the HEBREW and Gentile under one head. And instead of that, enmity was there between the HEBREW and the Gentile. Well, what caused the enmity between the HEBREW world and the Gentile world that God had to destroy? It was the law, and it goes ahead to say, by abolishing, now, guys, when you abolish something, the dictionary says it’s to destroy it and to do away with it and to make it void. Are we clear on that issue? He abolished, he destroyed, he did away with, he voided out the law. That what it says. Do you mean? Do you believe it? Why are we still teaching the law? Why are we still commingling law and grace in our so called Christian teaching? The Bible told us as ministers, that we’re to be ministers of the New Covenant, not of the old that kills. Why? The old covenant kills. The law kills. The only thing the law can do for you is kill you. Law can’t give you life. Law can’t make you righteous. Law can’t make you holy. All the law can do is kill you. That’s what it’s there to show you. It’s there to show you you’re a sinner and that you’re dead. That’s what it’s for. Has the law in all of your lives done its work already. If you’re saved, it has what did it do? Showed you you’re a sinner. Showed you there’s a consequence to sin called death, and you’re dead. And God says, Yeah, but there’s a solution to that, and that’s my resurrected life. And we have come to Him for what He came to give us the solution to the wages of sin, which is death, which is life. He received by faith that life and are born again, free from now what we were in bondage. So He abolished, did away with, in his flesh, the law, with its commandments and regulations. Now, guys, is there anything wrong with the commandments and regulations? Are they holy? Paul said they were said, nothing wrong with the law. It’s good and holy. But what’s the problem? When it flows through me. What does it do? It kills me. Nothing wrong with the law. I’m the problem. I’m the problem. God forbid, we’re the problem. And so he said that abolishing in his place the law with its commandments and regulations, nothing wrong with them, but as long as they’re there, it kills you. So what was his purpose in all this? Well, it says his purpose was to create in himself one new man out of what the two one new man, new man out of a HEBREW and a Gentile. That’s to take the Jew and make him a child of God, and to take the Gentile and make him a child of God.

Now, does it sound like that we’re supposed to go around now bragging on our natural heritage? I don’t see it. I don’t see it. He said, I came to make one new man, a new man, till your glory will be in the new man, that whether I was born a HEBREW or whether I was born a Gentile, that I am a child of the living God, and we are brothers and sisters. Whether you’re a HEBREW or Gentile, irrelevant. We’re brothers and sisters. Why? We got a new heritage. Any man knew any man is in Christ. He’s what a new creation. Old things have passed away, and behold, all things have become new. Got a new relationship with my Gentile brothers. I got a new relationship with my HEBREW brothers. We’re brothers in Christ before we were separated, alienated, hostile toward one another because of this law, to the HEBREW people back in those days, and to a degree in some segments, although it’s been watered down, there wasn’t the different kinds of HEBREWS back in those days, there was only the the HEBREW that performed everything, the people that wore clothes a certain way, people that had all these HEBREW regulations. Orthodox HEBREW orthodoxy was the HEBREW faith that separated them terrifically from the Gentile world, just as it does today. You go over in Israel today and to the conservative J@@, they don’t like the Orthodox. They think they’re really out to lunch, and you know what they are. They still walk around and if they’ll still shuttle and walk like this, so they won’t lust. If they’re married, there’s a sheet between them. I won’t go into the detail of that. Not allowed to touch. There’s a Shabbat elevator that you can’t push the button to get up to your floor. You can’t have milk and meat at the same time. All of these regulations, what does it say? With its commandments and regulations that was against us? So all of those are still in effect, and it separates them from the whole world and the whole world from them.

What did Jesus say that he came to do here? Guys said, I came to do away with that. I came to destroy that, and I came to do away with it, and I came to void it out. So that there is no separation that the HEBREW and the Gentile alike are one new person, a child of the living God. You say, Well, why don’t people go along with that? Well, I don’t know why, but we still like to be Messianic J@@s. And I say to that big deal, I’m a messianic Gentile. Why do you want to identify yourself down here. Why don’t you just call yourself a child of the living God? What does it matter whether you’re messianic or not? Messianic believes you believe in the Messiah. We wouldn’t even be talking here if we all didn’t believe in the Messiah. So why are we making these delineations? Why do we say, well now all of us HEBREWS are going to worship over here, and we Gentiles are going to worship over here. Is that what God came to do? Is that what making people one is? Now guys is it or isn’t it? No, it isn’t he said, I want you to be together. I want you to see yourselves as one new creation, a born again believer, not a HEBREW or a Gentile, but a child of God. You see how easy it is, guys, for us to get off. It’s just like this building of the house of God that’s off. You’re off, and you’re off whenever you put your delineation that, yeah, I’m a born again Christian, but I’m still a HEBREW, a born again Christian, but I’m still a Gentile, and I don’t like those HEBREWS, and those HEBREWS don’t like the Gentiles. It’s ridiculous. He said, I called the two of you to become one, one new man out of the two, and by making peace. And in this one body. Now, this is not the natural body. This is the spiritual body, in this one spiritual body, to reconcile both of them to God, through the cross, through the cross, that what is going to bring the two of you together is the cross. I will be your peace. That’s when you’re going to have peace when both of you are worshiping the same Jesus in the same way, not not separating yourself. Oneness, oneness.

Guys. Do you see the importance of oneness? Do you see the dynamic of sitting in a room like this with people of all colors and creeds and backgrounds, and yet seeing each other as one? You see, is that a neat deal, or isn’t it? It is, to me, I just marvel. I just want, I just think it’s phenomenal, people of all different denominations, people of all different backgrounds, people of all different color and creed. And yet in Christ, we’re one. What brought us together? Christ, Christ, not church, not a building. We’re all here together because we like the building. No, we’re all here together because we’re all part of one body. Christ is the head and we’re the body. We’re the church. People should get that in our heads. I wish our pastors would cut this stuff out, and I hear it on radio, just cut out this. Welcome to the house of God. Welcome to grandma’s house. Hope you have a good time for an hour so you can leave.

Pardon me for getting so upset. It says he’s going to reconcile both of them to the cross, by which he put to death their hostility. Now, how did he put to death their hostility? By destroying and abolishing in his place the law with his commandments and regulations. The Gentiles had no law and rules and regulations, so the law separated them. God said it’s over. We’re all now going to be saved in the same way, and it’s not going to be by the orthodoxy that you’ve been seeing in the J@@ish world, or the non orthodoxy, or the non religion in the Gentile world. We’ve got something brand new coming. And so he put to death their hostility. He came and preached peace to you who are far away. Who was that? The Gentiles, and peace to those of you who were near. Who was that? Now how do we know that? Because the gospel went first to the HEBREW and then to the Gentile. It was approximately 18 years before Cornelius, as far as I can figure, was saved the first Gentile that we know about in the Bible that was saved. So it was first to the HEBREW and then to the Gentile through him. Now we, both HEBREW and Gentile alike, have access to the Father by one Spirit, not by your ancestry, but by one Spirit. Consequently, now he’s talking to the Gentile world, to you and me, basically in his room. You are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens with God’s people and members of God’s household. Built on a foundation of the apostles and the prophets which Christ Himself as the chief cornerstone. So who is the center of all this? God, Christ, Jesus, and who are we? Well, it says that we’re members of the household. We’re members of the Body of Christ. Now it goes ahead to say in verse 21 in Him, in Christ, Jesus, the whole building is joined together. So who is the building? Is it this walls here, or you and me? Who is it guys? You and me. So we’re the building. This whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord so where is the temple? Where is the temple? Is it this place, the building? Or is it you and me?

You see, if it’s the building, then I’m going to start ultimately worshiping the building. Guys, I am not anti church. We are a church. This is the church. You are the church. But what we have done in Christianity is organize God right out of the church, right out of the body of Christ, and very subtly, satan has deceived us by getting our emphasis off of us being the body and putting it on leadership, just like we do in government, you’re not important. We are. Is that true? Are we unimportant? Or is it just the congressmen and the senators and the presidents that are important? Who are they up there for for you and me. So let’s not discount or allow someone to con us into thinking that we are not the important ones and they are. It’s the very opposite, and that’s God’s way of doing things in the body of Christ, he said that you’re the body. This whole building has now become a holy temple, and in him, you two are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by His Spirit. Where does God live guys? In this building, or in you in this building, which is it? How many of you heard, oh, I walked into that building and the spirit was thick. You could have cut it with a knife. Have you heard that? How many of you heard that kind of stuff?

Two knives, yeah, guys, if the Spirit was thick, it was because you were controlled and filled with it. It wasn’t because of anything in this building. Quite frankly, I’ve never had to cut through anything in this building, so there may be something wrong with us, but I don’t think that the Spirit is so thick you got to cut it with a knife. That’s the kind of talk that we get used to, though, guys, you see how easy it is. It sounds good, it sounds holy, and it sounds it sounds really spiritual. And so we use it doesn’t have any meaning to it. Fact, it’s nonsense, and as a matter of fact, it is false teaching. And yet we say, Praise Jesus. No, my friends, you and I are the Spirit of God, are indwelt by the Spirit of God, and where two or more are together, there I am in the midst of you. Now, can you imagine church without Jesus? So if two of you are gathered, where’s the church? If you’re the church, where’s the church? Isn’t here on Sunday, it’s everywhere. Wouldn’t you hate to think, guys, that’s where it’s for you, I’m going to go worship, isn’t it? That’s really sad to think that the only time you worship is an hour on Sunday or Saturday or whatever day you want to glory in. If you’re in Christ Jesus, the Bible then explains that having Jesus living in you is your act of worship. What is worship in the New Testament? Making your body available to the living Christ to live his life in and through you. That’s your reasonable act of what? Worship. What have we reduced that to? Come here on Sunday and worship only. Worship an hour, half hour a week. No, no, no. If you look at worship as God looks at worship, and if worship is making your body available to the living Christ to live his life in and through you, how many hours a day you supposed to be doing that? Every day, every hour, every moment of the day is supposed to be available. If God hears my body, I’m available to you to do it and through me what you want to do. If you want eyes to see through here they are. Want a mouth to speak through. Here it is. Want ears to listen. There it is. I’m available to you. That’s worship. Wouldn’t you hate to think the only time you did that was an hour on Sunday, but that’s what happens when you put your emphasis on a building and an organization, instead of you being the organization or the organism, which is better than an organization.

Now for this reason, now in chapter three, for this reason, I Paul the prisoner of Jesus Christ, for the sake of you Gentiles, Surely you have heard about the administration of God’s grace that was given to me for you. Paul is saying that he was called by God to be the administrator of the grace of God. This mystery, we’re told later, was revealed to the Apostle Paul and to the other apostles and prophets. But he said, Paul is to be the administrator of it. What’s that mean? He’s going to tell you how to put this thing into action. That’s how you organize it. The administrator. They’re the decision maker. And so Paul is in that in that situation, that if you’ve got a question in regard to this grace of God and in part of this body of Christ, this is who you go to. He is my called administrator. And so he says, For this reason, I Paul, the prisoner of Christ, for the sake of you Gentiles have heard about the administration of God’s grace that was given to me for you. By this he’s going to explain it now, this mystery made known to me by revelation.
