Christian apex predators
Intro
I have come into understanding of a concept called christian apex predators. These are people who claim you can lose your salvation.
Christian apex predators
The christian apex predators might not be correct about basic Soteriology but there is more to the life of a christian than the doctrine of salvation.
(Hebrews 6:1-6 [KJV])
[1] Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,
[2] Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.
[3] And this will we do, if God permit.
[4] For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,
[5] And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,
[6] If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.
Satan will come after each christian that live for Christ and doesn't allow themselves to be destroyed. So to protect the individual, to protect yourself as a believer from Satan you might need to learn from the christian apex predators, once you have been eternally saved, to survive in this world.
(Proverbs 30:24-33 [KJV])
[24] There be four things which are little upon the earth, but they are exceeding wise:
[25] The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat in the summer;
[26] The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks;
[27] The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands;
[28] The spider taketh hold with her hands, and is in kings’ palaces.
[29] There be three things which go well, yea, four are comely in going:
[30] A lion which is strongest among beasts, and turneth not away for any;
[31] A greyhound; an he goat also; and a king, against whom there is no rising up.
[32] If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself, or if thou hast thought evil, lay thine hand upon thy mouth.
[33] Surely the churning of milk bringeth forth butter, and the wringing of the nose bringeth forth blood: so the forcing of wrath bringeth forth strife.
The lion is an apex predator. But if you are not made out yourself to be a christian apex predator. Maybe then you can learn from the ants, the locusts and the spiders instead.
Evangelists
On the other hand Churchianity preachers are not christian apex predators. They use evangelism and correct doctrine for eternal salvation as a weapon to survive. Maybe that is needed as a weapon in churches today.
Maybe just like prophets today are not set in the church, so evangelists are set in the church, the opposite of what the 1st century scripture teaches, maybe because of that the churches have another spirit.
(I Corinthians 12:27-31 [KJV])
[27] Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.
[28] And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.
[29] Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles?
[30] Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?
[31] But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.
According to the bible evangelism is done outside of the congregations. But today maybe the churches need to be evangelized to. Maybe that is why evangelists survive in the churches, because the churches are filled with lost people and are not really congregations of God.
The churchianity gospel is kind of feed the lambs to the slaughter, let the lambs be sacrificed in the meat grinder of the lost world and that might not be something you approve of if you are one of the sheep, a saved believer in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Well didn't Jesus evangelize to the scribes and the pharisees and didn't they murder him? Well if you have your heart established with grace it might work to evangelize to the churches.
(Hebrews 13:8-10 [KJV])
[8] Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
[9] Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein.
[10] We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle.
