"12 And what I am doing "I will continue" to do, in order to undermine the claim of those who would like to claim that in their boasted mission they work on the same terms as we do.
13 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ.
14 And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.
15 So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds."
Yesterday I had the occasion to find a quote from the 1854 United States Congress. The writings caused me to wonder if I would recognize the enemy were he to be disguised as a servant of righteousness? Am I grounded enough to see TRUTH even when the enemy tries to obscure it with deceit? These words brought me a resolve to not waver from what GOD's word declares. Read them and see if you can see the TRUTH:
United States House Judiciary Committee of Congress 1854 quotes
“In this age, there is no substitute for Christianity. That was the religion of the founders of the republic, and they expected it to remain the religion of their descendants. The great, vital and conservative element in our system is the belief of our people in the pure, doctrines and divine truths of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.”
― United States House Judiciary Committee of Congress 1854
Could it be that the United States House Judiciary Committee of Congress of 1854 didn't have a firm understanding of what our founders based our founding upon only 75-80 years prior? Or might it be that the TRUTH had not been as colored by deceit as in recent years? The enemy desires for the TRUTH to be hidden and obscured in every manner. JESUS said in John 14:6 "I am the way, the TRUTH, and the life"!
Since JESUS is the TRUTH and the enemy is defeated by the TRUTH, it makes sense that any chance to dilute the TRUTH will be made by the enemy. The Apostle Paul said "what I am doing "I will continue" to do". He would not bow to an "in crowd" trying to revise the TRUTH! He said "I will continue" in order to undermine the story being told by unscrupulous people. The United States House Judiciary Committee of Congress of 1854 knew the TRUTH. May my witness be one of the TRUTH and may it be said of me "I will continue" even when deceit is in the majority!
