Why and how people disobey these 12 simple messages?
1. Mark 16:16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.
2. Acts 2:38 Peter replied: Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins.
And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
3. Matt. 23:9 And do not call anyone on earth `father,' for you have one Father, and he is in heaven.
4. Col. 3:9 Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices
5. Rev. 21:8 But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral,
those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars-- their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur.
This is the second death."
6. Matt. 24:23 At that time if anyone says to you, `Look, here is the Christ!' or, `There he is!' do not believe it.
7. Heb. 13:15 Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise—
the fruit of lips that confess his name.
8. 1 Peter 2:13 Submit yourselves for the Lord's sake to every authority instituted among men: whether to the king, as the supreme authority…
9. John 4:24 God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth."
10. Mark 7:7 They worship me in vain; their teachings are but rules taught by men.'
11. Matt. 5:37 Simply let your `Yes' be `Yes,' and your `No,' `No'; anything beyond this comes from the evil one.
12. Heb. 13:4 Marriage (be) had in honor among all, and (let) the bed (be) undefiled: for fornicators
and adulterers God will judge.
Here may be the why and how!
1. John 12:37-40 Even after Jesus had done all these miraculous signs in their presence, they still would notbelieve in him.
This was to fulfill the word of Isaiah the prophet: "Lord, who has believed our messageand to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?"
For this reason they could not believe, because, as Isaiah says elsewhere:
"He has blinded their eyes and deadened their hearts, so they can neither seewith their eyes,
nor understand with their hearts, nor turn-- and I would heal them."
2. 2 Cor.4:4 The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers,
so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.
3. Romans 1:21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him,
but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened.
4. Eph 4:18 They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God
because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts.
5. Romans 11:8-10 as it is written:
"God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes so that they could not see and earsso that they could not hear,
to this very day." And David says: "May their table become a snare and atrap, a stumbling block and a retribution for them.
May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see, andtheir backs be bent forever."
6. Luke 22:3 Then Satan entered Judas, called Iscariot, one of the Twelve.
7. John 17:12 While I was with them, I kept them in thy name which thou hast given me: and I guarded
them, and not one of them perished, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.
8. Romans 1:28 Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God,
he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done.
9. 2 Thes. 2:10-12 and in every sort of evil that deceives those who are perishing.
They perish because theyrefused to love the truth and so be saved.
For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so thatthey will believe the lie and
so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but havedelighted in wickedness.
10. James 2:19 You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that-- and shudder.
11. Jn 8:31-32 To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, "If you abide in my teaching, you are really my disciples.
Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."
12. Phil. 3:18 For, as I have often told you before and now say again even with tears, many live as enemies of the cross of Christ.
13. 2 Cor 11:14 And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.
14. Acts 20:29-30 I know that after I leave, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare theflock.
Even from your own number men will arise and distort the truth in order to draw awaydisciples after them.
15. Jude 1:4 For certain men whose condemnation was written about long ago have secretly slipped inamong you.
They are godless men, who change the grace of our God into a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord.
May the Lord bless you and keep you always!
