Revelation 19:15 "And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God."

Hello Mr Alexandrus; welcome to Landover. I'm not sure what sort of a Knight you are but did notice that you enjoy playing music. What instrument do you prefer? Some "modern Churches" make not only poor but even inappropriate use of music. Repetitive phrases and hand waving, much like the dubstep rave lunatics enjoy. And like the rave, it invites demonic possession.
Perhaps a believer might raise the hands but in these cases visitors who are not believers also "get something out of it" as they gyrate with arms aloft and in those cases the cause is not Jesus. Have you noticed that phenomenon?
Do you ever play in Church?

I played the violin in 8th and 9th grade, though I also like the sounds of flutes, pianos, harps, lutes, guitars, and dulcimers. Many seeker-sensitive "churches" are entertainment facilities instead of churches and 2 Peter 2 describes the traits of false teachers.
Revelation 19:15 "And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God."

II PETER
1:21 Prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
2:1-22 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not. For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly; And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds); The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished: But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities. Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord. But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption; And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you; Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children: Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness; But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man's voice forbad the madness of the prophet. These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever. For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error. While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage. For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire. KJV That is a great example and how well it describes the false church of Rome. From Paul we know that there was indeed a Church in Rome and like other congregations from time to time they needed guidance.
It is encouraging to see that you are reading God's Inerrant Word but from your earlier posts perhaps you were sympathetic to Popish dogma in the past? What they proclaim now has nothing to do with Paul and is more likely to have developed from Roman paganism. How do you accommodate those proclamations with the example of just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked? Were you never vexed yourself?
Thank you for replying.
