“We Will Not Have This Man to Reign Over Us”, The Root of Rebellion

[bdavidc]

​

In Luke 19:14, Jesus tells a sobering truth through a parable: “But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us.” This is not just a historical snapshot of Israel’s rejection of their Messiah, it’s a reflection of the heart condition of every person who refuses Christ’s lordship. It is spiritual rebellion.

False teachers don’t twist the gospel because they’re simply confused or misinformed. At the core, many of them are driven by a deep resistance to the authority of Jesus Christ. They don’t want a Savior who commands repentance and surrender, they want a god made in their own image, who demands nothing and blesses everything. So they distort the gospel, stripping it of its power and truth, to justify a life where Jesus doesn’t reign over them.

This rejection isn’t just from the world outside the church. Jesus gave this parable to warn everyone, including those who claim to follow Him. Some may profess faith, but live as though He’s not King. They take what He gives, time, truth, resources, opportunity, and squander it on themselves. They bury His gifts in the ground, assuming He won’t really hold them accountable.

But Jesus is coming back. The parable of the ten minas makes it clear: He expects His followers to stay loyal to Him and make good use of what He’s given them until He returns. The ones who invest in the Kingdom will be rewarded. The ones who ignore His commands and waste their lives will face loss. And those who outright reject His rule will face judgment. He ends the parable with a chilling statement in Luke 19:27: “But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.”

Like false teachers who twist the Bible to fit their own desires, they don’t really want to follow Jesus’ teachings. They only want His blessings while living however they please. They think that twisting the Scriptures will somehow change the outcome on judgment day or make them feel better while doing whatever they want here on earth. Worse yet, they lead others down the same path of deception. But in the end, they will face a terrible wrath from the very King they refused to obey.

The issue has always been lordship. The world wants a Jesus who saves, but not one who rules. But the real Jesus is both Savior and Lord. You can’t separate the two. The question isn’t just whether you believe in Him, it’s whether you bow to Him. Will you joyfully submit to the King, or join the crowd that says, “We will not have this man to reign over us”?

Your answer has eternal consequences.

What does he teach in regard to the idea of a Queen mother in heaven. Named after our blessed sister in the Lord Mary previously the goddess Ishtar or Astarte. passed down from the Pharisees with Sadducees. . a carbon copy of the Roman Catholic with Eastern Orthodox?

Two sects that put their differences aside in order to worship an entity they call Mary..

 

[Rhema]

What does he teach in regard to the idea of a Queen mother in heaven.

"He" who? Jesus or bdavidc?

Jesus taught nothing about any Queen of Heaven.

And of what bdavidc teaches, he is in sore error.

a carbon copy of the Roman Catholic with Eastern Orthodox?

I have nothing to do with either.

What sect do you identify with.

The gospel of Thomas?

Its clear you do not support sola scriptura. (all things written in the law and prophets)

 

[Rhema]

What sect do you identify with.

None. I am a disciple of the Teachings of Jesus alone.

The gospel of Thomas?

Somewhat problematic, so no. One would be better off to read the Didache.

Its clear you do not support sola scriptura.

You plagiarize a term created by Martin Luther, and then misuse it.

(all things written in the law and prophets)

How can you say, "We are wise, and the LAW (Torah) of the LORD is with us," when, in fact, the false pen of the scribes has made it into a lie?​

- Jeremiah 8:8 NRSV

Your "all things written" has been made into a lie, Garee.

God bless,

all things written makes a liar out of the father of lies'

Three times the Father gave words to his apostle Jesu the Son of man as it is written and again and again (Mathew 4 ) Strike three struck him out

Martin Luther is dead and not able to offer his opinion

All things written in the law and prophets. Or law and its testimony. (sola scriptura)

Created by the "Let there be" and its testimony of the Holy Spirit "it is God alone good". . Law of faith

It opposes a law of the fathers' oral traditions of dying mankind. It brought on the first century reformation the key (sola scriptura) the final authority in spiritual matters of Christ's faith . . in any reformation that restores order to Christ.

Acts 24:13-14;Neither can they prove the things whereof they now accuse me.;But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets:
We defend it as it is written (armor of God) it defends us

 

[Rhema]

Three times the Father gave words to his apostle Jesu the Son of man as it is written and again and again

Yes, and this refereed to what you know as the Old Testament or Hebrew Bible. The New Testament didn't even exist when Jesus said these words. (This isn't hard to understand Garee.)

Martin Luther is dead and not able to offer his opinion

Martin Luther wrote a copious amount of material, ALL of which embodies his opinion, including the first use of the term Sola Scriptura. It hadn't existed before his teachings.

All things written in the law and prophets. Or law and its testimony. (sola scriptura)

Yeah... that's YOUR mantra. Here is what is written -

How can you say, "We are wise, and the law of the LORD is with us," when, in fact, the false pen of the scribes has made it into a lie?​

- Jeremiah 8:8 NRSV

Even by the time of Jeremiah, the law (the TORAH) was not as God presented, having been made into a lie by the false pen of the scribes.

Acts 24:13-14;Neither can they prove the things whereof they now accuse me.;But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets:
We defend it as it is written (armor of God) it defends us

Exactly... your Messiah is Paul.

Thank you,
