Spiritual Openness = "FREEDOM"

Some of the people refered to in the 7 churches in the Revelations of Lord Jesus also seemed to believe in spiritual openness to other faiths.

They were open to the ways of the Nicolaitians, of the Jews, of Jezebel, of Balaam.

Lord Jesus clearly gave them warning to overcome or suffer the consequences.

Note that Lord Jesus does not address the people outside of the churches...because perhaps there is no hope for them ...because they have completely rejected the 1God and have not been called....because they have been captivated by the snare of the devil and desire now to do the devil's will (2 Tim 2:26)... as the devil asked Eve "Indeed, has God said, 'You shall not eat from any tree of the garden '?"

People disregard the Word and Commands of Lord Jesus because they rather embrace "FREEDOM" to define and justify ANY of their 'own gods / their idols' that represent their self serving desires...and even the desire, as the devil said to Eve, that "surely, you will not die".

They all worship the 'wide OPEN gate' of "FREEDOM" to take from ANY tree.

But the ONLY Way to LIFE is through the very narrow gate, and that is Lord Jesus, and it is He that is guarding the Tree of Life with a flaming sword.
