1 | Discernment for the believer is required | 1 Thess 5:21 | EdB | 12593 | ||
JVH0212 I don't think the problem is discernment as it is lack of action after discernment. Too many are convicted of something but rather than speaking out and appearing dogmatic or intolerant they look the other way. Christians today want to offend no one yet the Word itself says it will offend. Christians believe that being "tolerant" and inoffensive they will better position themselves to win non Christians. Unfortunately this doesn’t work, sinner must be convicted of and confront their sin and repent from it to be truly born again. Many churches in an effort to grow or to sustain growth will not confront sin, it might cause someone to leave. They would rather have a church full of sinners on the way to hell than to chance offending someone and having an empty pew. Be Blessed my brother Ed |

2 | Discernment for the believer is required | 1 Thess 5:21 | DAIRYLEADER5 | 96333 | ||
JVH0212, Ed is correct, I just want to add a few thoughts, Eph 4:30, 1st Cor. 12:11. Most christians dont even know that these gifts are offered to the believer because some pastors also dont believe in them.Tollerence is not acceptiable with God, we cant make frends with the devil. Here lately the Pope of Rome has been wanting all faiths to come together and pray for peace in Rome. My question is if he susceeds in getting, moslems, budist, hindus, and the like all together who are they going to pray to? To say that they all worship the same God is Blasphame. The only true God is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.So you see being religious tollorable is a bad idea.We believe in spiritual gifts, we need to teach them in all churches.DL5 | ||||||
