CONTEXTUAL CHRISTIANS

What is a Contextual Christian? My definition of a Contextual Christian is a person who is always trying to find ways to evade or circumvent the commandments of God. This is the same as the Biblical scholar's definition of Contextual Christianity. A good example of contextual characters are Adam and Eve. They tried to evade or circumvent God's orders not to eat the fruit so that they can eat the fruit that God had told them not to eat. They want their will be done on earth as it is in heaven. This is the main character of Contextual Christians. God told Adam and Eve that they can eat the fruit of every tree in the garden except one. If they do, they will die. But Adam and Eve want to eat the fruit that God had told them not to eat. They disregarded God. They ignored God. And they didn't care! When God found out that
Adam and Eve have this kind of character, He instantly kicked them out without a minute of hesitation. They succeeded in circumventing God's orders. But when they answered God's questions, and God found out that they were contextual characters, God evicted them immediately without hesitation. No mercy. Do you know why? Because a contextual character can not be trusted! A contextual character can never be trusted; they are worse than Lucifer. If they don't like and don't want to do what God had told them to do, they immediately started making trouble! For example, you could ask a Contextual Christian anywhere in the world why does he not do certain things that the Bible asks him to do, and the first answer that comes out of his lips is that you have to look at the "context." If, for example, Jesus said to a rich man that he should not steal, and the person you are talking to is poor, and not rich, he will argue and say that the "context" was different. He was poor, and the man Jesus was talking to was rich. Can the poor people steal? Is it permissible for this poor person to steal because the "context" is different? According to the poor person, the "context" is different and he is allowed to steal. He was poor, and the man Jesus was talking to was rich. The Contextual Christian avoids doing what the Bible asks him to do because the "context" is different, and not because it is wrong. Would Jesus punish the Contextual Christian for being a smart-ass? No, not now. Jesus would surprise them on Judgment Day. Matthew 7:21-23. Would the sheriff handcuff the context Christian thief if he was caught stealing? Yes, he will put him in jail.
I have never heard a Christian preacher preach about Contextual Christians in any church, here locally, or anywhere else. Why is that? And I don't believe there were many "contextual" Jews at the time of Jesus among the fishermen and carpenters either. Why? Because fishermen and carpenters are honest and humble people. Most of them are not highly educated and have no high education, Master's, or Ph.D. Many of our Bible scholars in America have college, Master's, or Ph.D. degrees. And because of their extensive knowledge of the Bible, they have become what I call Contextual Christians. They have learned to circumvent God's Law without feeling guilty. They do not feel guilty if they break God's laws because there are no laws, so they say. They say that the laws are for the Jews, and they are not Jews. Hahaha, but why are they following the apostle Paul? Paul is a Jew, is he not? They abolished all of God’s laws and commandments while Jesus was sleeping for three days. They claim that they have violated nothing, and if they do they are not concerned at all because they believe that they are under "grace" and not under the law. Jesus said, “Therefore you must be perfect, just as your Father who is in heaven is perfect.” Matthew 5:48.  Jesus commanded us to be perfect. He said, "You shall be perfect." Can we be perfect? Yes, we can if we obey God's laws. Yes, we can if we obey Him and follow His commandments. The prophet Job, prophet Enoch, and God's other prophets are perfect. But we must fully surrender ourselves to His authority. And why does Jesus want us to be perfect?  Because the standard of heaven is perfection. If heaven's standards are less than perfect, as it was when Lucifer was still in heaven, we might see a new revolution taking place on the new earth. And Jesus might die again to defend the unhinged Contextual Christians and all that nonsense, but I don't believe He would do that!  So, what's our plan for now when we are faced with the Contextual Christians? Do we have a plan to avoid them?  I usually tell them if the shoes fit, wear them. They usually ask me what do I mean? My answer is in what “context” is cheating allowed? In what “context” is coveting allowed by God? They are finally quiet.
Jesus is coming soon. We don't have much time to waste.  Jesus said, "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven. Many people will say to Me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, didn't we prophesy in your name, cast out demons in your name, and perform many miracles in your name?' And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from me, you who practice lawlessness!'” Matthew 7:21-23.  
Do you know which group of Christians love to practice lawlessness? Do you know which Christians like to avoid keeping God's law? Here's my answer. I truly believe they are the Contextual Christians. Why? Because Contextual Christians love to circumvent God's Law. That's what they have been trained to do, and that's what they preach - practice lawlessness.
In John 10:27 Jesus says, "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me."  Do we hear the voice of Jesus? Are we following Jesus? If we do both, we are His sheep, and He is our Shepherd. In John 14:15 Jesus said, "If you love Me, keep My commandments." Do we hear Jesus? Are we following Jesus? If we do both, we are His sheep, and He is our Shepherd. Contextual Christians do neither. They are defensive people. They are people who like to please others, and not to please God as is prophesied here: “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, [because] they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn [their] ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.” 2 Timothy 4:3-4.

Finally, let me assure you that God hates the Contextual Christians in Adam and Ave, and He hates more the contextual Christians in us. We are worse than the Pharisees.
