MODERN DAY FALSE KNIGHTS
Modern Day False Knights
During the times of the Crusades, many knights and mercenaries laid waste around them “in the name of the church.” To some they were heroes and to others they were infamous for murder, mayhem, raiding, and raping and pillaging like bandits.
Today Catholics, Protestants or informal home group “saints” in like manner, “false knights,” in the spirit of these former crusaders, men and women who call themselves Christian, are using intimidation, control, and hard, unmerciful, religious zealotry in an attempt to do work of the Kingdom.
These hard, dogmatic, religious zealots, are not doing the work of the Kingdom in a Christ-like manner.
Under the guidance of a religious spirit, and like a Crusader of old, in a metaphorical sense, they are swinging great swords and mighty two-handed hammers, cutting a bloody swath through wounded Christians and innocent babes.
They are warring, in the name of Jesus, but not with his blessing. They do not realize that they are being tricked by religious devils, who are gleefully encouraging the mayhem.
Those same devils are more than willing to let some new Christians become converted into a false religious system and become bonded to misguided, hard, dogmatic masters, who will make them “thrice the sons of Hell,” rather than bonding them to Jesus and allowing them to mature into genuine Christ-like saints.

21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Matthew 7:21-23, ESV: “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 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?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’” 1

MATTHEW 9:13, ESV, 13 Go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice.’ For I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.”
Ken Welker sent me an email tonight and asked me what I was sensing in the Spirit. Another way of saying this would be to ask me what is on my heart. My answer, about what was on my heart at the moment, was that I was meditating on just how many zealous religious people there are, who are really busy robustly swinging big bloody, flesh-draped two handed war-hammers, amongst wounded sheep and babes.
All the while Satan and his demons are laughing, slapping their knees, then rolling on the ground uncontrollably, then mocking Jesus for the lack of restraint amongst His sheepfolds.
Today I read a letter sent to me by a King James Only guy who had recently requested a copy of David Dyer’s translation, Father’s Life New Testament.
And technically, this guy’s letter had a few good points, but I also know, and have done research myself, concerning the “inerrancy of King James” controversy. The cavalier way the man presented his points did not bode well, although he would be blind to the danger, of his immaturity and judgmental attitude. While God is without error, man’s translations, even the King James, has error. Despite this error, Jesus is famous for using these tools, by the power of the Holy Spirit, ministrations of angels, and the work of Christians, mature and not so mature, and even false knights, to bring the real Kingdom of Jesus Christ, to hearts of men and women the world over!
If you do the research on what King James demanded of the scholars, those rules enforced a specific line of interpretations, and although I do like the translation, in general, it is not really Holy, Jesus is Holy.

As much as I like the Septuagint version, I am wondering if there are parallels to the creation of the Septuagint, that are similar to that of the King James scholars.
Recently I heard that a local female Christian claimed that people shouldn’t be reading the Septuagint as it is inferior to the KJV translation. Even though she didn’t say, as I read in today’s letter from the city of Oshkosh, that all Bibles other than the KJV are produced by Satan, and that David Dyer’s FLNT, was also from Satan, she has expressed her contempt for Christians who read any other version than the KJV.
Following that train of thought, to its logical conclusion, concerning the local sister, and her opinion that Christians should not read the Septuagint, but only the King James, Jesus and the apostles were in sin for reading the Septuagint version rather than the KJV which had not yet been printed. Rank foolishness!
Many KJV Only brothers and sisters, and those with other unbending dogmatic preferences, tend to be bitter, have unteachable spirits, are full of pride and will use fear, intimidation, control, and domineering behaviors to enforce their personal religious convictions. They tend to ignore the real devils and go about zealously slamming their hammers into bleeding and weary brothers and sisters, forgetting mercy, then crowing about how they are the only one’s going to Heaven, while all other inferior brothers and sisters are going to Hell.
Long ago, they began following a strict, cruel, religious demon, and did not know it, and are woefully unable to swallow their pride and confess their sin. They may technically be correct on some of their accusations, but like many ancient Pharisees, they are far from God, and justify their misbehavior and believe they are doing Jesus a favor. Often, they are well-read, and have entire passages of scripture memorized which they wield like clubs, and if they do bring converts, are those new Christians going to become like their teacher rather than the Great Teacher, Jesus Christ? Are those new converts going to be converted into the Kingdom of Jesus Christ, or converted into a false religious kingdom, where, rather than the real Jesus being their Master, a modern day blind guide Pharisee, male or female, becomes their master instead. Thankfully, Jesus is working to rescue Christians who are being bound like birds in cages under false knights! But woe to those blind guides who are converting innocent babes into a false religious kingdom. Thank Jesus that there are real Knights, male and female, who are doing wonderful work for the Kingdom of Jesus Christ!
Satan knows scripture quite well and has used it, after twisting it, for his own purposes, to stop people from being submitted to Jesus, or hindering new converts into maturing into genuine saints. Satan has many religious spirits who do the same, today, and many hard, religious zealots of modernity, fall prey to the same devious tricks. Thankfully Jesus did not fall prey! We, as his children, with our free will and inadequate understanding, and immaturity, even if we have a seminary degree, may become deceived.
Sadly, many of these brothers and sisters, after a lifetime of sewing division and strife, and becoming hard and religious, rather than being firm but gentle and Christ-like, are in for a very rude awakening. And who am I to say that some brothers and sisters who have, shall we say “religious” tendencies and prickly attitudes and immaturity, that they cannot come before the Lord Jesus, when it is their time, and hear the phrase, “Well done, faithful servant.” My best guess is that much of the time the two following scenarios will play out instead!
Many of them will be shocked when they finally come before the Lord. Because of the hard and religious ways they have done the work of the Kingdom, they will come before the Lord standing amidst a great heap of ashes, dead and worthless works, and they will, as Paul said, gain Heaven as if they have run through fire (1 Cor. 3:15).
Jesus is just and wise; he will know those who meant well, but acted in ignorance and immaturity. He will also discern those who were just being warlords, mercenaries and false knights, busy creating their kingdom, in Jesus’s name, rather than building the capital K Kingdom of Jesus Christ. We need to be servant leaders not “false knights!”
Worse, there will be others, who come before the Lord, after a lifetime of zealous and far-reaching religious work, who thought they were serving Jesus, but they were serving instead, a religious demon, encouraging them in the spreading of false doctrine and enticing them into committing bloody mayhem among the sheep.
Not only will they appear, before Jesus, thinking they have accumulated great rewards, but will be absolutely horrified, when they demand entrance into Heaven because of their great Christian works, from evangelizing to prophesying, and performing miracles, that they have done, and they will hear Jesus say, “Depart from me workers of inequity, I never knew you.”
