Bad advice has led US to this shipwreck

Jesus Christ Is Lord!
28 June 2010

In my last letter I talked about being “pro” several things. I also talked about the misleaders in the sense of heretics and went on to put it in terms of weighing anchor and sailing away.

The Greek word pro means in front of. Proago means go before, as in what a leader is supposed to do.

Examples:
John 10
2But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
3To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
4And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
5And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.

Isaiah 52:12
For ye shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight: for the LORD will go before you; and the God of Israel will be your reward.

Matthew 26:32
But after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galilee.

Mark 14:28
But after that I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee.

Then there is the word for shipwreck, nauageo. The word has the implied meaning of improper navigation, or misleading with bad advice.

Nauageo is only used twice:

2 Corinthians 11:25
Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep;

1 Timothy 1:19
Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck:

The example of bad advice is also seen where the word naus is used only once and translated ship.
Acts 27
9Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished them,
10And said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be with hurt and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives.
11Nevertheless the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship, more than those things which were spoken by Paul.

John 10:6
(This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.)

The unbelievers are never going to see this and because they will refuse to do what is so very easy. All it takes is a little time to listen. Read the full chapters.

In the Name of
Jesus Christ My Lord
