Matthew 7:26. And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. John 12:47. If anyone hears my words and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world. Romans 2:13. For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law who will be justified. James 1:22. But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. Dear BradK, I, as a conservative Presbyterian, am not challenging at all the doctrine of salvation that other brothers summarized well. My point is that the Scripture emphasizes on "keeping" God's Word (that is, living out every aspect of our life by God's Word) rather than "hearing" it. But the Protestant Church (but I am not saying non-Protestant churches are different) seemingly has no worry about, or does nothing about, whether those who attend it "keep" God's Word in their daily life. It is like teaching soldiers how to shoot the rifle but not checking if they can actually shoot well. In Love and Truth, 00123 |

Hello 123, I have a better understanding of what you're saying:-) Keep in mind that how one is saved does differ from sanctification- or rather how one becomes a "doer of the Word". Your criticism of the Protestant Church is very general. "How" does it 'seemingly has no worry', or 'does nothing about it', 'whether those who attend it keep God's Word in their daily life? Can you provide some specific examples of churches where this is happening? What percentage of Churches take this approach- All, many, or just a few? Again, can you name any of these churches? The Church certainly has many faults and is easy to criticize! However, without being able to define the exact nature of the "problem" or show how prevalent it may seemingly be, how do you solve it? What do you think needs to be done and how would yoou go about doing it? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
