It is absolutely necessary to have and accept the true knowledge of God, in order to have God accept us. You cannot make up doctrine, or just accept a hand-me-down doctrine and expect God to accept you on these terms. It will never work.

You must study the Word as we are told to do, and prove if anything is true, according to the written Word of God, or if it is false. If you fail to do this, or if you see it crosses the Word at some point, yet you still hold to your false doctrine, then God will reject you. It is a dangerous thing to reject the proven truth of God. It will cost you eternal life. It will take you to hell fire. So you had better open your eyes and your ears and get willing to hear and see the truth. Get willing to accept the truth, if you desire eternal life.Mt 13:12 For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath. 13:13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.

13:14 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive: 13:15 For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.

Jesus said if you already HAVE, you shall be given more and therefore have abundance. Now what does this mean? It means that if you have the right faith, the right foundation, and an open mind [eyes; ears] then God will give you an abundance of revelation.

This is that bread from Heaven which we must eat to have eternal life. If you do not have these things, if you close your eyes and ears, then you do not have the right faith, so what you think you do have, will be taken away from you. You are the one Jesus spoke of = seeing you see not. You refuse to let God show you his real truth. Hearing you hear not. You have eyes and ears [spiritually] but you refuse to let them operate.

This keeps you from understanding so that you can be converted. You would rather go on in your false, Jezebel religion, than to open your eyes and ears and hear the truth. You closed your own eyes and ears and turned away from the truth when it was presented to you. So your spiritual healing will never take place.

Mark 8:18 Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember?

Now here another writer shows that they have eyes and ears but do not see or hear. So what they do have will be taken away from them.

Lu 24:31 And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.

Now see this reveals that to have your eyes opened is to know him or truth.

Ac 26:17 Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee, 26:18 To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.

This Scripture proves that to listen to God’s true ministers who bring the pure Word of God, will open your eyes and turn you from darkness to light, and this is to turn you from the power of Satan unto God. So when God sends a true minister unto you, bringing not man’s words but the pure Written Word of God, not adding to it nor taking away from it, and you refuse this word, then you will never see or be converted.

But If you do as those did who searched the Scriptures daily, as God told us to do, to see if those things are true, then you will come into light and the power of God. If you refuse to open your mind and look into the Word and find out if you are hearing truth or not, then you are guilty of closing your own eyes and ears. This will lead you into total destruction. Just because you ‘believe’ a thing, just because your church and forefathers taught it, does not make it true or cause God to accept you on those grounds.

If you close up your heart, mind, to what you hear, just because it is not what you always believed, and cling to your doctrine, no matter how much the Word shows different, then you are guilty of closing your own eyes and ears against the truth. This places you into the naked, blind, lukewarm Laodician Church. You may scream and hollow that you are not in this church, but the very fact that you have closed eyes shows you are blind.

Grow up! Go on to perfection!
**************
<NOBR>Heb 6:1</NOBR> Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,
<NOBR>Heb 6:2</NOBR> Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.
<NOBR>Heb 6:3</NOBR> And this will we do, if God permit.
<NOBR>Heb 6:4</NOBR> For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,
<NOBR>Heb 6:5</NOBR> And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,
<NOBR>Heb 6:6</NOBR> If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.
<NOBR>Heb 6:7</NOBR> For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God:
<NOBR>Heb 6:8</NOBR> But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned.
<NOBR>Heb 6:9</NOBR> But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak.
<NOBR>Heb 6:10</NOBR> For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have showed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.
<NOBR>Heb 6:11</NOBR> And we desire that every one of you do show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end:

<NOBR>Eph 4:11</NOBR> And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
<NOBR>Eph 4:12</NOBR> For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
<NOBR>Eph 4:13</NOBR> Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
<NOBR>Eph 4:14</NOBR> That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;

<NOBR>Eph 4:15</NOBR> But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
<NOBR>Eph 4:16</NOBR> From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
<NOBR>Eph 4:17</NOBR> This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,

<NOBR>Eph 4:18</NOBR> Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:

<NOBR>Eph 4:20</NOBR> But ye have not so learned Christ;
<NOBR>Eph 4:21</NOBR> If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:

<NOBR>Eph 4:22</NOBR> That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
<NOBR>Eph 4:23</NOBR> And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;

<NOBR>Eph 4:24</NOBR> And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
<NOBR>Eph 4:25</NOBR> Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.

<NOBR>Eph 4:26</NOBR> Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:
<NOBR>Eph 4:27</NOBR> Neither give place to the devil.
<NOBR>Eph 4:28</NOBR> Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.
<NOBR>Eph 4:29</NOBR> Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.

<NOBR>Eph 4:30</NOBR> And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
<NOBR>Eph 4:31</NOBR> Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:

<NOBR>Eph 4:32</NOBR> And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.

]Hebrews 12
<NOBR>Heb 12:1</NOBR> Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,

<NOBR>Heb 12:2</NOBR> Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

<NOBR>Heb 12:3</NOBR> For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.

<NOBR>Heb 12:4</NOBR> Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.

<NOBR>Heb 12:5</NOBR> And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:

<NOBR>Heb 12:6</NOBR> For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.

<NOBR>Heb 12:7</NOBR> If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?

<NOBR>Heb 12:8</NOBR> But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.
