SudoXians

It is sincerely hoped, and my honest intention, dear reader, that use of a phonetic-replacement title is not offensive to you. Software parameters I utilize require 8-character file names, and obviously the word "pseudo" in a filename would be inconvenient if not impossible for my title-name purposes for this particular literary work.

Ultimately, every person on the planet has to end up either calling Christianity true or instead a lie.

One or the other - but not both.

If they end up calling it a "lie," they'd better be damn sure that they are correct!

[ "Damn" sure? Now where did I ever get that concept? ]

In wartime, there are two manifestations of the enemy.

One is where the foe clearly indicates themself a target for suspicion and annihilation by the uniform he or she is wearing, and might be described with the following Bible verse:

Ecclesiastes 10:3 Even when the fool walks on the road, he lacks sense, and he says to every one that he is a fool.

And:

First John 3:10 By this it may be seen who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not do right is not of God, nor he who does not love his brother.

The "love" mentioned above is not meant to apply to individuals indiscriminately, but instead a general attitude regarding humankind overall in the benevolent sense of 'God sends his rain on the just and on the injust,' because:

Jeremiah 9:4 Let every one beware of his neighbor, and put no trust in any brother; for every brother is a supplanter, and every neighbor goes about as a slanderer.

The other manifestation of the enemy is described best by Scripture itself:

Matthew 7:15 "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.
16 You will know them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thorns, or figs from thistles?
17 So, every sound tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears evil fruit.
18 A sound tree cannot bear evil fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit.
19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
20 Thus you will know them by their fruits.
21 Not every one who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
22 On that day many will say to me, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?'
23 And then will I declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from me, you evildoers.'

Titus 1:16 They profess to know God, but they deny him by their works ["works?" - and some think only grace by faith alone matters!]; they are detestable, disobedient, unfit for any good deed.

So, the other type of enemy in wartime dresses like the opponent, speaks the language of the opponent (sometimes quite well and fluently), talks the talk . . . but actually is deliberately and not ignorantly nor accidently nor unwillingly a deceitful deadly double-agent.

For example, those sudo-"xians" (i.e. pseudo-"christians") who sing or say: "My sins are nailed to the cross" but for whom the redemptive atonement of the cross for some cause does not and will not apply to them in particular because of their non-willingness to fully submit to the Lord as their Absolute 24/7 Master and embrace the totality of His moral Biblical-doctrines authority completely and permanently, their "sins nailed to the cross" claim is simply a hideous non-forgiven open public record of shame - a damning indictment against them as one among the many murderers to blame and at fault for causing the Lord's crucifixion.

Along those lines, anyone can call Jesus 'lord' - even though:

First Corinthians 12:3 Therefore I want you to understand that no one speaking by the Spirit of God ever says "Jesus be cursed!" and no one can say "Jesus is Lord" except by the Holy Spirit.

because:

Matthew 7:21 Not every one who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
22 On that day many will say to me, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?'
23 And then will I declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from me, you evildoers.'

Luke 6:46 Why do you call me 'Lord, Lord,' and not do what I tell you?

James 2:19 You believe that God is one; you do well. Even the demons believe . . . and shudder.

So, how can we both immediately and eventually discern who exactly is a bonafide Christian compared to who exactly is a deceitful and lying pseudo-"christian?

First Timothy 5:24 The sins of some men are conspicuous, pointing to judgment, but the sins of others appear later.

John 8:31 Jesus then said to the Jews who had believed in Him, "IF you continue in MY word, you are truly my disciples...

WHAT does "continue in my word" mean? Continue mouthing some readable text - whether for convenience under circumstantial duress or for some other nefarious or selfish purpose?

Any other indication of the genuine Christianity of someone?

Matthew 24:13 But he who endures to the end will be saved.

"Endures to the end" doing WHAT?

Any more means of proof?

First John 1:6 If we say we have fellowship with Him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not live according to the truth;
First John 1:7 but if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin (after which we repeatedly over and over and over get defiled and wickedly dirty again - putting serious doubt on our real intentions?).

Hebrews 6:8 But if it [continually and relentlessly] bears [porno-mopheaded-hairstyle, naked-arms-bared-with-warm-weather-excused-sleeveslessness, nude-legs-bared-with-shorts-or-shortened-skirts, feet partially bared with sockslessness] thorns and thistles, it is worthless and near to being cursed; its end is to be burned.

And WHAT is "darkness?" WHAT is "light?" Absence or presence of fluorescent or incandescent light bulbs or flashlights?

First John 1:8 If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
First John 1:9 If we confess our [porno-mopheaded-hairstyle, naked-arms-bared-with-warm-weather-excused-sleeveslessness, nude-legs-bared-with-shorts-or-shortened-skirts, feet partially bared with sockslessness] sins, He is faithful and just, and will forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
First John 1:10 If we say we have not sinned, we make Him [out to be] a liar, and His word is not in us.

So, is simply admitting that we are sinful according to Biblical standards what saves us? Confession of our grievances against God's law justify and purify us? And that self-incrimination is all that's necessary?

Let's continue:

First John 2:1 My little children, I am writing this to you so that you may not sin; but if any one does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous;
First John 2:2 and He is the expiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world.

So, the sins of the entire mostly-Christianity-hating generally-Christians-despising world are already forever atoned for, perpetually excused by the Advocate, and all the good and evil human "fish" caught in the proverbial "net" are going to end up in the Heaven of Impeccable Everlasting Purity and Righteousness as One Big Happy Family engaged in One Big Eternal Party up there?

First John 2:3 And by this we may be sure that we know Him, if we keep His commandments.

Merely "keep" a Bible around, or at least do not complain about Christianity-oriented websites on the internet?

So, are those forced to drive on the right side of the road and obey traffic signs or else be fined, among those who are self-justified with self-atonement by keeping the law under threat of punishment, with police in squad cars functioning as "a rod for the back of fools?"

First John 2:4 He who says "I know Him" but disobeys His commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him;
First John 2:5 but whoever keeps His word, in him truly love for God is perfected. By this we may be sure that we are in Him.

Did not Satan obey God's command to not strike Job dead, but merely torment Job physically for a while? So does that satanic obedience to God save the Devil and atone for the Devil's sin, thus preclude Satan's predicted hellfire damnation?

First John 2:6 he who says he abides in Him ought to walk in the same way in which He walked.

So did Jesus walk with a fast gait, or was he a slow mover as he transported himself with his own legs?

First John 2:9 He who says he is in the light and hates his brother is in the darkness still.
10 He who loves his brother abides in the light, and in it there is no cause for stumbling.
11 But he who hates his brother is in the darkness and walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

We are then supposed to love evil "brothers" and "sisters" who are abortionists, evolutionists, homosodomites, immodest warm-weather exhibitionists, atheists, sexist feminists, etc?

Does that not contradict:

Psalm 139:21 Do I not hate those who hate you, LORD? And do I not loathe those who rise up against you?

"Love the sinner, but only hate the sin?"

Psalm 139:22 I hate them with perfect hatred; I count them my enemies.

Plainly, not a philosophical or whatever abstraction called "sin," but rather sinners, will finally burn in outer-darkness hellfire forever?

Love EVERYONE unconditionally?

Matthew 7:6 Do not give dogs what is holy; and do not throw your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under foot and turn to attack you.

Luke 14:26 If any one comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple.

Then is Christ Jesus "is the expiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world?"

Similar to the questionable(?) verse:

John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

Does THAT jive with:

First John 2:15 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If any one loves the world, love for the Father is not in him.
16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the pride of life, is not of the Father but is of the world.
17 And the world passes away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God stays around forever.
19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out, that it might be plain that they all are not of us.

Added to that:

First John 2:24 Let what you heard from the beginning reside in you. If what you heard from the beginning resides in you, then you will reside in the Son and in the Father.

And WHAT precisely did we hear "from the beginning?"

First John 2:26 I write this to you about those who would deceive you;
First John 2:27 but the anointing which you received from him resides in you, and you have no need that any one should teach you; as His anointing teaches you about everything, and is true, and is no lie, just as it has taught you, reside in Him.

So we alleged know-it-alls do not need Christian teachers anymore?

First John 2:28 And now, little children, reside in Him, so that when He appears we may have confidence and not shrink from him in shame at his coming.
First John 2:29 If you know that He is righteous, you may be sure that every one who does right is born of Him.

"Does right?" Under pressure? Because they, deep down, really do not want to, but must - under the circumstances?

First John 3:24 All who keep His commandments reside in Him, and He in them. And by this we know that He resides in us, by the Spirit who He has given us.

Did not evil King Saul have "the Spirit" - who eventually left him?
Did Ananias the High Priest who participated in the lynching trial against Jesus have "the Spirit" by proclaiming the crucifixion:

John 11:51 He [Ananias] did not say this of his own accord, but being high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus should die for the nation.

Did not Jesus-hating pharisees convey the means to saving obedience through their Spirit-conveyed teaching?

Matthew 23:1 Then said Jesus to the crowds and to His disciples,
2 "The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses' seat;
3 so practice and observe whatever they tell you, but not what they do; for they preach, but do not practice.
4 They bind heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with their finger.
5 They do all their deeds to be seen by men."

To give an example from personal experience:

DALE: "You're wrong to judge girls with loose long hair hanging lower than mouth-level, not tied into a back-of-head single ponytail. You're not going to get to first base witnessing to them unless you suck up to their doesn't-matter-how-they-have-it hairstyles - but instead are unfriendly, discriminatory, insulting and offensive. It's their choice how they have their own hair, it's not your place to butt in to their doesn't-matter personal preferences. It's none of your business to impose your own superstitious or whatever bias and prejudicial opinion! As it says in:

Matthew 7:5 "You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye." And:

Luke 6:37 "Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven." And:

Luke 6:42 "Or how can you say to your brother, 'Brother, let me take out the speck that is in your eye,' when you yourself do not see the log that is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the speck that is in your brother's eye." And:

Romans 2:1 "Therefore you have no excuse, O Dan, when you judge another; for in passing judgment upon her you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, are doing things yourself.
Romans 2:3 "Do you suppose, O Dan, that when you judge those who do such things and yet do other things yourself, you will escape the judgment of God?" And:

Romans 14:4 "Who are you to pass judgment on the servant of another? It is before her own master that she stands or falls. And she will be upheld, for the Master is able to make her stand." And:

Romans 14:22 "The faith that you have, keep between yourself and God; happy is she who has no reason to judge herself for what she approves." And:

First Corinthians 4:3 "But with her it is a very small thing that she should be judged by you or by any human court. She does not even judge herself." And:

First Corinthians 10:29 "Why should her liberty be determined by your scruples?" And:

Galatians 5:1 "For freedom Christ has set her free; stand fast therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of legalistic living-under-the-law-and-not-by-grace slavery." And:

Colossians 2:20 "If with Christ you died to the elemental spirits of the universe, why do you live as if you still belonged to the world? Why do you submit to regulations?" And:

Second Corinthians 9:7 "Each girl must do as she has made up her mind, not reluctantly or under compulsion." And:

Philippians 4:13 "She can do all things in Him who strengthens her." And:

First Thessalonians 4:9 "But concerning love of girl believers you have no need to have any one write to you, for you yourselves have been taught by God to love one another;"
First Thessalonians 4:11 "to aspire to live quietly, to mind your own affairs (Dan!), and to work with your hands, as we charged you." And:

Hebrews 10:30 "For we know Him who said, "Vengeance is mine, I will repay." And:

James 4:11 "Do not speak evil against one another, brethren. He that speaks evil against a sister or judges his sister [whatever hairstyle she has], speaks evil against the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge."
James 4:12 "There is one lawgiver and judge, he who is able to save and to destroy. But who are you that you judge your sister [for her hairstyle]?"

So there! Don't be so hard on people. God has been patient with you, so you be patient and tolerant and forgiving with them. Don't be accusatory!

DAN: Don't be accusatory against me yourself!

Are you done mis-quoting and mis-using Bible verses to me, Satan? You and yours tried that same kind of misapplied-Scripture-verses attack against Jesus in the desert. Haven't you learned your lesson from that by now?

What do you think that the English-dictionary-defined words . . . of Numbers 5:18-19 (in the RSV or NASV) relating to public hairstyle for women, Second Samuel 13:18 in the RSV and NASV relating to public armwear for women, Proverbs 5:19 relating to public breasts-wear for women, Isaiah 3:16-17 relating to public crotchwear for women, Isaiah 20:4 relating to public buttockswear for women, Isaiah 47:1-4 relating to public legwear for women, and Jeremiah 2:25 in broad and narrower context relating to public footwear for women . . . mean? Are they weird symbolic terms for shaving cream, aluminum foil, roofing nails, elephants, bumblebees, motor oil, pliers, or whatever other non-applicable allegorical or metaphorical or figurative mis-substitutions you can think of which are obviously not related in any way, as you rebelliously express your accursed deviance and waywardness in absurd, irrelevant, off-on-a-goofy-tangent diversionisms?

Are you aghast at the moral-purity thought of either separate beach times for the separate genders of humans who choose to expose themselves in scanty swimwear among each other . . . or instead have co-ed family groups of both genders with each individual donned in only-face-and-hands-exposed frogmen suits for sunbathing and swimming?

What right do mopheads have to shove their loose-long-hair filth into my face? Did I ask them to impose such porno indecency into my eyesight? Did I give them permission? What business is it of theirs to interfere with my desire-for-purity view, and irresponsibly or even ignorantly defile it at their anonymous or other whims?

And you: why do you judge me in holier-than-thou defensive impudence - when your own mis-rendered Scripture verses devoid of proper context which you maliciously blattered with lewd compromising-with-evil-hairstyles immodesty-idolizing hostility order you yourself to not judge me?

So, here are some for you, Dale - you scurrilous, divisive, puffed-up-with-pride, adversarial judging-me-and-not-yourself hypocrite:

Numbers 5:18 And the priest shall set the woman before the LORD, and unbind the hair of the woman's head, and place in her hands the cereal offering of remembrance, which is the cereal offering of jealousy. And in his hand the priest shall have the water of bitterness that brings the curse.
Numbers 5:19 Then the priest shall make her take an oath, saying, 'If no man has lain with you, and if you have not turned aside to uncleanness, while you were under your husband's authority, be free from this water of bitterness that brings the curse.

Song of Solomon 7:5 Your head [MY spouse, MY wife, MY bride - and no one else's] crowns you like Carmel, and your flowing locks [not the porno mopheadedness of some random harlot-lookalike exhibitionist in general public view] are like purple; a king is held captive in the tresses.

Matthew 12:7 And if you had known what this means, 'I desire mercy, and not [condemnatory self-righteous, porn-hairstyle-tolerating] sacrifice,' you would not have condemned the guiltless. And:

Luke 12:57 "And why do you not judge for yourselves [about your own self!] what is right?" And:

Romans 8:7 "For the mind that is set on the [porno-mopheaded-hairstyle, naked-arms-bared-with-warm-weather-sleeveslessness, nude-legs-bared-with-shorts-or-shortened-skirts, feet partially bared with sockslessness] flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God's law, indeed it cannot.
8 and those who are in the [porno-mopheaded-hairstyle, naked-arms-bared-with-warm-weather-excused-sleeveslessness, nude-legs-bared-with-shorts-or-shortened-skirts, feet partially bared with sockslessness] flesh cannot please God.
9 But you are not in the [porno-mopheaded-hairstyle, naked-arms-bared-with-warm-weather-excused-sleeveslessness, nude-legs-bared-with-shorts-or-shortened-skirts, feet partially bared with sockslessness] flesh, you are in the Spirit, if [IF] in fact the Spirit of God [permanently] resides in you. Any one who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to Him.
10 But if Christ is in you, although your bodies are dead because of sin, your spirits are alive because of righteousness.
12 So then, brethren, we are debtors, not to the [porno-mopheaded-hairstyle, naked-arms-bared-with-warm-weather-excused-sleeveslessness, nude-legs-bared-with-shorts-or-shortened-skirts, feet partially bared with sockslessness] flesh, to live according to the [porno-mopheaded-hairstyle, naked-arms-bared-with-warm-weather-excused-sleeveslessness, nude-legs-bared-with-shorts-or-shortened-skirts, feet partially bared with sockslessness] flesh--
13 for if you live according to the [porno-mopheaded-hairstyle, naked-arms-bared-with-warm-weather-excused-sleeveslessness, nude-legs-bared-with-shorts-or-shortened-skirts, feet partially bared with sockslessness] flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the [licentuous/lascivious/lewd-exhibitionist] deeds of the body you will live.
14 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons [and daughters] of God." And:

Romans 10:3 "For, being ignorant of the righteousness that comes from God, and seeking to establish their own [compromising-with-the-wicked-and-adjust-to-them fear of humans instead of God], they did not submit to God's righteousness."

First Corinthians 5:3-4 "For though absent in body I am present in spirit, and as if present, I have already pronounced judgment against the [porno-hairstyled mophead and her male patsy supporting her] who has done such a thing." And:

First Corinthians 6:2 "Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is to be judged by [me], [am I] incompetent to try trivial cases [concerning and not regarding immodest mopheaded hairstyle]?" And:

First Corinthians 10:15 "I speak as to sensible men; judge for yourselves what I say." [You do not need an others-will-decide committee or meeting to figure this out yourself] And:

First Corinthians 11:13 "Judge for yourselves; is it proper for a woman [with sexy and erotically-enticing loose long hair] to pray [in mixed-gender public view] to God with her head uncovered?" And:

Romans 14:15 "If your brother is being injured by [your titillating loose-long-haired mopheadedness], you are no longer walking in love. Do not let what you eat cause the [sexually-oriented] ruin of one for whom Christ died."

And finally, how about these gems, judgmental hypocrite-breath?:

First Timothy 2:8 I desire then that in every place the men should pray, lifting holy hands without anger or quarreling;
9 also that women should adorn themselves modestly and sensibly in decent apparel, not with plaited hair or gold or pearls or costly attire
10 but by good works (NOT "faith alone!"], as befits women who profess religion.
11 Let a woman learn in silence with all submissiveness.
12 I allow NO woman to teach or to have authority over men; she is to keep silent.
13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve;
14 and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor.
