2 Peter 2:1
King James Version
2 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.
Amazing how the HOLY SPIRIT knows my heart.
I was looking for a verse to describe the Taylor Swift phenomenon.
He led me to the PERFECT verse above.
With the PERFECT phrase:
"swift destruction"
That phrase practically created this article.
No doubt about it, Swift's got talent.
She's got a following.
Young people go nuts at her concerts.
Creating billionaire status in her.
But this we must tell you --
Be not too swift to adore Taylor Swift.
That will bring "swift destruction".
Only GOD deserves worship.
A warrior of the SPIRIT looks at her, with a careful eye.
Watching, and detecting signs, of undue influence upon the young.
She says she's a "Christian".
But her words, and acts, speak differently.
We are all about the WORD -- GOD's WORD.
And this young lady's life, and lyrics, don't reflect such.
As you shall see from this video.
There are idols that "speak".
Only because people have idolized them.
By themselves, they cannot have power over you.
Unless you allow them to influence you.
Please don't be such.
Save your soul from idolatry.
Don't be a "Swiftie".
Only GOD deserves worship.
These verses give the appropriate warnings:
2 Peter 2:2-3
King James Version
2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways;
by reason of whom the way of truth
shall be evil spoken of.
3 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.
2 Peter 2:10-11
King James Version
10 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.
11 Whereas angels,
which are greater in power and might,
bring not railing accusation against them
before the Lord.
2 Peter 2:12-13
King James Version
12 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;
13 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;
2 Peter 2:14-15
King James Version
14 Having eyes full of adultery,
and that cannot cease from sin;
beguiling unstable souls:
an heart they have exercised
with covetous practices;
cursed children:
15 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;
2 Peter 2:17
King James Version
17 These are wells without water,
clouds that are carried with a tempest;
to whom the mist of darkness
is reserved for ever.
2 Peter 2:18
King James Version
18 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.
2 Peter 2:19
King James Version
19 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.
2 Peter 2:20
King James Version
20 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.
2 Peter 2:21
King James Version
21 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.
2 Peter 2:22
King James Version
22 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.
May Swift wake up on time.
May people wake up on time.
May she take the path of holiness.
May she look upon her body as the TEMPLE of the HOLY SPIRIT.
May she flee fornication.
May we all do.
1 Corinthians 6:18
King James Version
18 Flee fornication.
Every sin that a man doeth is without the body;
but he that committeth fornication
sinneth against his own body.
Face, fame, and fortune are temporary.
Only GOD's WORD is eternal.
Only GOD deserves worship.
Only GOD deserves ALL the GLORY.
The LORD JESUS confirms that:
John 17:3-4
King James Version
3 And this is life eternal,
that they might know thee the only true God,
and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
4 I have glorified thee on the earth:
I have finished the work
which thou gavest me to do.
