WHAT IS MOCKING GOD?
Brother James, OIC
Gal 6:7-10 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
It is written; “The flesh profits nothing.” It is also written that; “flesh and blood will never enter the Kingdom of God.” Since these things are a given what then is mocking God?
Mock Greek: muktērizō
mook'-tay-rid'-zo
From a derivative of the base of (meaning snout, as that whence lowing proceeds from); to make mouths at, that is, ridicule: - mock.
To mock God is to take Carnal Doctrines, False Solutions, False Doctrines and confess them as Truth. This infiltration of lies into the Gospel corrupts the Truth and ridicules God Who reconciled us back to Himself through Jesus Christ Who is the Way, the Truth and the Life of God.
Have you heard a preacher preach Jesus plus medicines they are usually ate up with pharmaceuticals? Have you heard a preacher preach Jesus and the 12 steps he is on a wide path of destruction? How about one that mixes psychologies in with the Gospel, or Philosophies, or works in with Gospel? This is all mocking God it is bringing the flesh into the Body of Christ and then corruption is eminent.
To ridicule God is to tell God His Promises are not enough that what the world offers needs to added to them. But didn’t God give man wisdom to do these things? No that’s a lie from the pits of hell.
Paul had this problem arise in the Church of Galatia:
Gal 1:6-9 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
Gal 3:1-4 O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you? This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh? Have ye suffered so many things in vain? if it be yet in vain.
I have a dear friend that was getting a solid hold on Truth that’s now turned back to bad counsel and what appears right to man. It is easy to believe the lie. Why? Because most lies start at something you want or wanted to work for you in the past. Then when the glossy illusion of the lie has faded you discover everything you just went through was for nothing.
The world and the flesh are filled with the works of the law. In fact the Law was given by God to reveal the struggle between the knowledge of good and the knowledge of evil that’s been in man since Adam. BUT the Law is for the flesh and the knowledge of good and evil are both in the flesh. And mans efforts always mock God But only the Hearing of Faith pleases Him.
