My People Love to Have it so

When the church insists no man can know. And apply it to themselves as well. They are actually insisting that they are in darkness. That they are among the wicked. That they are not wise. That they are not saved and as a result are taken by Christ as a thief in the night (see John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy). It is an insistence that Jesus will come for them to kill and destroy them.

Sadly, the leaders of the churches lied to their people. But even more sadly-the people loved to have the lies proclaimed to them.

Jeremiah 5:31 The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?
