Adultery

The term adultery is a misunderstood word that most people do not understand. I am posting about this word today because of a chance encounter I had recently with a Judeo-Christian. It started when I was talking to this person about the intrinsic differences between Judeo-Christianity and Christianity. He was quick to make the statement that I should concentrate on the similarities, not on the differences, and I should be willing to compromise.

According to the dictionary the word adulterate means: "... to make something inferior or less pure by adding something harmful or of a lower quality." This quite simply means to mix any substance to any pure substance. It can be applied to cross breeding plants, animals, and even people. But the type of adultery that I want to bring light to today is the adulteration of the Father's word.

The bible is very clear that we are not to adulterate the word, or our Christian principles. In John 5:13 the Ferrar Fenton Bible states: "You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt should lose its strength, with what can itself be salted? It is then good for nothing, but to be flung out and trodden under foot by mankind."

We, as bible believing Christian Israelites are salt according to the word, and are commanded not to lose our savor. But how does salt lose its savor, or become less saltier? You can take salt and break it. In fact you can take it and smash it with a large hammer until it becomes molecules, however salt will still have its savor. The only possible way for salt to lose its savor is through dilution, or if you water it down.

The adulteration of Christian principles is killing the Christian faith in the churches today. Compromising the faith with hedonistic beliefs quite literally makes the faith only good for trampling under foot of man like it says in the book of John. It creates double mindedness, lukewarmness, and laziness. This mindset is discussed in Revelation 3:16, and is also expressed by the 7th commandment by the statement "You shall not commit adultery." Ex 20:14 (FF). I pray all will not adulterate the scriptures, as we truely are the salt of the earth.

Praise the Lord for the true sheep of the house of Israel!
