Is the Church guilty of profanity?

Is the church, the body of Christ, the sacred house of God, the pillar of the truth, despite the zeal, enthusiasm, the passion, and the love they think that they have for God be guilty of profanity?

Profanity is a term which denotes an act of irreverence, blasphemous, showing contempt or disregard toward something holy; it is synonymous to treating something sacred as it should not be treated. Therefore, is the church guilty of irreverence and blasphemy, for showing contempt or disregard to God, treating Him and His holy things in a way that they should not be treated, and even substituting God's holy things for secular and worldly things?

This is a serious indictment, and everyone should seriously consider those charges to ascertain that they are not found guilty as charged.

There are Five counts of profanity that have been filled against the church, the Israel of God by the Lord Himself. Now in the event that one would like to exclude him/herself from these charges, he/she should first be reminded of who is the true Israel of God. And so we find written in the scripture; “I tell the truth in Christ, I am not lying, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Spirit, that I have great sorrow and continual grief in my heart. For I could wish that I myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my countrymen according to the flesh, who are Israelites, to whom pertain the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the service of God, and the promises; of whom are the fathers and from whom, according to the flesh, Christ came, who is over all, the eternally blessed God. Amen.

But it is not that the word of God has taken no effect. For they are not all Israel who are of Israel, nor are they all children because they are the seed of Abraham; but, "In Isaac your seed shall be called." That is, those who are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God; but the children of the promise are counted as the seed” (Romans 9:1-8).

The scripture further states that; “Just as Abraham "believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness." Therefore know that only those who are of faith are sons of Abraham. And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel to Abraham beforehand, saying, "In you all the nations shall be blessed." So then those who are of faith are blessed with believing Abraham” (Galatians 3:6-9).

Therefore the charges which the Lord have filled against the princes and priests of Israel are applicable to the church the Israel of God, and thus says the Lord to the prophet Ezekiel; “Her priests have violated My law and profaned My holy things; they have not distinguish between the holy and unholy, nor have they made known the difference between the unclean and the clean; and they have hidden their eyes from My Sabbaths, so that I am profaned among them.” (Ezekiel 22:26)

The Lord has filed a complaint against His people; He has charged them with five (5) counts of profanity, what is your personal verdict on those charges, guilty or not guilty?

.

We will in the coming articles examine closely these charges to see whether we are exonerated and free from all guilt, or guilty in some, and not guilty in others.
These times of ignorance God has overlooked, and now commands all men everywhere to repent.
