1 | Is God hand so short that he cannot lead | Col 2:21 | tj57h@cs.com | 88969 | ||
EdB, Praise God for your somewhat positive words. Point # 7 I is alright to judge me, because I will listen. # 8 I believe your experience in Churches has been a little naive. When people do it and condemn others who don't it is SIN. # 4. The religious Cows I am talking about are those who have infiltrated our ranks and have enlivened the simple Gospel of liberty in Christ into WORKS based Traditional Religion. Paul spoke very strong and negative about those who do such things. Read Galatians 1 and 2. But that was OK for Paul. I know it's OK to Judge me, like I said I will listen. As far as the men you have listed there is about two to three times as many as you have listed and many of them are walking a very good walk and testimony before our lord. I am talking about the trenches out here in cornfield county were perhaps you have not come to see it, WORKS based traditional religion is practiced and baby Christians galore are backsliding into oblivion because they don't know the truth. Salvation is by Faith Righteousness is by Faith. Romans 4. Romans 6. Paul’s TONE was very negative in Galatians 1 and 2. He said Let him be accursed. I have accursed no one. Just stated the facts about Works based religion. i heard you earlier word and as usual The Lord Jesus Christ will lead me to be free from any bitterness and negativity that you perceive that I have. Others on this forum have given me encouraging words about what I have written. I think also you might be naive about this problem in the Church and the negative impact it has on the people of God especially the little ones. In Love, Tim |

Tim, I do agree that there is a problem; whether in cornfield country (where I have never been) or in the bible belt (where I currently reside), the Church has become self-righteous akin to the Sadducees and the Pharisees. Many denominations have formed because someone did not agree with the CUSTOMS of the dominant denomination in their particular area as opposed to the DOCTRINE e.g. Catholics from the early Church; Protestants from Catholics; Baptist from Presbyterian; etc. On down to today, the myriad of denominations mainly exist because of some disagreement on customs (the Sadducees and Pharisees were separated on points of doctrine). The sad part of it all is that Jesus taught against division. The body is to be united, however, many churches can not see beyond their insignificant differences (any difference based on a custom is slight) in order to come together for the sake of building the Kingdom of God. It is a reflection or maybe the cause of what is wrong with this country (racism) and the world (nationalism). The irony of it all, Edb, is that EVERYBODY thinks that they are right because this guy or that guy believes the same thing or because they went to this seminary or that seminary and this is what they were taught (indoctrination). Clearly in Paul's day there were already false teachings and teachers. How much more so do you think there are today? The Adversary is smarter than ANYBODY. He knows how to manipulate a situation so that the focus of those on the Way is shifted from the finish line to golden apples along the wayside. (Yes this is a reference to Greek mythology but it is not the focus here). Many people teach for their own glory-the glory that comes when people follow what they say; therefore they "teach" about things which they do not know and substitute speculation for truth. Look at many of the postings on this website and consider the debates spawned from questions which no man can answer. What it all boils down to is that people will do whatever they want and use anything to justify it. Sadly, this is practiced by the Church of Today. Peace be unto you in the name of Jesus |
