Why is my blog named "Will ye also go away?"
Someone asked me why I named my blog "Will ye also go away?" Actually this is a phrase that came from:
John 6:66-69 "¶ From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him. 67 Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away? 68 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life. 69 And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God."
Notice in John 6:66 that "many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him?" They did so because of a "hard saying" (John 6:60) by Jesus, and they won't hear it. That's why they went back and walked no more with him. That was when Jesus asked the ones who stayed behind "Will ye also go away?" Notice the words of Simon Peter:
John 6:68-69 "Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life. 69 And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God."
Yes, even the "hard sayings" (John 6:60) are the very words of the LORD. But it is those hard sayings that most Christians will not accept, because it attacks the golden calf they are hiding in their hearts, which they loved above the words of the LORD. They are "Christians" up to the point where they are made to choose between their idol and the Holy Bible.
2 Timothy 4:3-4 "For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables."
Because they hate those "hard sayings" (John 6:60), they will not endure sound doctrine, but will go after false teachers who teach for doctrines the commandments of man, things that tickle their ears. Unbeknownst to them, these so-called "Christians" have already been judged for their works.
2 Thessalonians 2:10-12 "And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness."
For their "itching ears" (2 Timothy 4:3) and for the "hard sayings" (John 6:60) they have rejected, God shall send them strong delusion that they should continue to believe in a lie, that they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
