1 | Is God hand so short that he cannot lead | Col 2:21 | tj57h@cs.com | 88877 | ||
Sirs, It was contained on my posting; Religion has innocent believers going about doing works, with little thought of ceasing from our own works and submitting to God and learning to walk in the Spirit. I am curious of several things, #1. Why when I say almost the same thing as Tim Sheasby I get this type of comment, EdB and he gets positive supportive comments? #2. Why when it is customary to provide scriptural basis for our comments on this forum, very few people who respond to my postings do so? #3. Do you gentlemen belong to a denomination that does not practice works based doctrines OR actually teaches walking in the Spirit? #4. John my definition of a religious COW would be items that traditionally religious folks would hold as important foundational doctrines, which are not based in truth or is in direct opposition to it. #5. Who hasn’t been hurt by traditional religious doctrines or people who practice it? I know of no one that hasn’t been hindered in the walk by men's commandments, traditions and doctrines. #6. If you have some Spiritual insight you would like to share, supported by some scripture I would like to discuss it. #7 Meanwhile I believe the Church and its leadership needs to step up grow up and start preaching the truth. #8 I did ask a question, do you have an answer? Why do Christian denominations practice " do not do this, do not do that, wear this don't wear that" When the bible clearly teaches not to? I believe it is because of control, pride, ignorance (Due to traditions handed down from leadership, instead of studying the bible for themselves.), and fear. Love, Tim |

Tim: 1John 4:18, Heb 12:15. Fear and bitterness will eat you up completly, your 122 postings in 5 days is a record I do believe. Tim slow down, people in this forum come form many backgrounds. Mostly what forum members ask is respect and kindness, with these in place dialogue soon developes. I do not why you feel about demonations as you do, but I would be interested to know. I have in the past been in three Baptist denominations, and found their support for missions on the field are much better off and do more ministry that faith based missionaries, Often faith based missionaries struggle with sometimes less than 50 percent of their required support. While in Bolivia in 1982 there was a general strike that caused EVERYTHING to stop. Several faith based missionaries were invery serious financial trouble, no gasoling, food, and many of the basic things of life. I personally saw the Southern Baptist missionaries help the faith based missionaries stay afloat, and supply the others so they could function. I am involved with non-denominational chuch now and like just as well, infact in many ways better. We do not have membership, and we have a Pastor-Elder board that oversees the church. I personally believe this is clostest to the Biblical pattern. Would you be willing to share where you are coming from? Blessings Tim. justme |

Praise God for missions! Perhaps when I took my bold stance on Works based theology it was a little strong. I am responding to what I believe to be an unction from our Lord Jesus. I had no intentions of getting involved with this forum or any thing like it. You could say I am sharpening my sword. I HEAR you! My expression at this point could be a little rough and perhaps needs some tempering. I will make your constructive criticisms a matter of prayer; my hearts desire has been to express more of the Love of God. Much of the word that has been revealed to me has been pent up to a degree and like a dam has been broken it is being expressed. I appreciate you feedback! Currently I am in a church I believe at this time is were I need to be. I have found acceptance of who I am and am becoming in Christ. I have been pent up for a very long time. I have nothing negative to say about what the Baptist Church has done in the way of leading people into a born again experience. I do have a problem with all denominations and leaders that have dropped and continue to drop the ball in the area of discipleship and walking in faith, through Christ, by the Spirit. I can count on one hand how many sermons I have heard on how to "Walk in the Spirit." In many Churches the newly saved are subjected to the condemnation of sin and not the forgiveness of sin and find themselves in a tailspin of sinful works, unable to get free. I was one of these believers that was not discipled as the Bible teaches, What I have found out about Jesus, I found out the hard way by trial and error, Bible study, and the Spirit of God. The last 30 years has not been pretty. But quite rewarding. I have such a glorious revelation of Salvation by faith as it is written in Romans 4 and By David and I am walking in HIS works not mine. Do I need refinement, YES! I have very little problem with the things you have said to me and how you said them. A few others have not been quite so graceful. If you would read the posting I left for Graceful this ID#88898, I believe you might see something worth reading, and a lot more compassionate. I did not ask to write Gods words, he has led me to do so. I am not a writer; my grades in High school prove that. He has done a miracle in enabling me to communicate as well as I do. I am sure I will become more palatable as time goes on. Thank you, Love, Tim |

Tim: What a refreshing chang you have made! That kind of change is hard to make, thank you. I read that your journey as a Christian has been hard, and by all I read it sounds like you have been in a church that was very harsh and controling. That is not good. I pray you will continue to grow, blessings Tim. justme |
