1 | Is asking for money false? | 2 John 1:10 | Hank | 143731 | ||
Luis, thanks for your response. I visited the web site of Southeast Christian Church of Louisville, KY. I read the bios of the ministers, looked over the various programs of this large church, and studied their published statement which is remarkably close to the "Apostles' Creed." I found nothing bizarre or unusual on their web site -- nothing about selling all one has, or your mammon thing, or any of the other ideas you've expounded upon which some of your fellow users here on the Forum find quirky, to put it mildly! So where, Luis, did you pick up these ideas? Surely not from your pastor Bob Russell or from the mission statement of Southeast Christian Church. And how did you happen to choose this particular Forum as a vehicle by which to soapbox them? You're an interesting fellow, Luis, and I have no reason to doubt that you are sincere, but so help me I don't pretend to understand what little I know about you! :-) One little question before I wind this up. Do your peers at Southeast Christian share your ideas -- or do they see you as something of a maverick? --Hank | ||||||
2 | Is asking for money false? | 2 John 1:10 | NewCovenant7777 | 143780 | ||
Oh, I needed to summarize by saying as with the Jews,"... not all Israel are of Israel" (Rom 9:6), and keeping with "The Association", "not all that say they are Christians are Christians." (2Tim 3:5 and 4) Just as there will only be a "remnant" saved from Israel, there are only "a few" saved from the Church. Judgment is beginning in the House of God and the "False Claimers/Apostates/Dogs/Idolaters, will be thrown out. I say this, as I do with all my bold truths, with sorrow upon sorrow, but I rest in God's Providence and Predestination. ( I am not Calvinistic. John Calvin was an Apostate too...Predestination doesn't preclude "our choice" that was made at the foundation of the world. I KNOW Predestination is a very misunderstood and feared topic in Scripture, but again, it is in Romans 9 and God has graciously revealed, as He does, with all His Truth, to me(and all that will sell all to have their ears and eyes opened)...but I don't have time to fully explain at this time. This "may" be my last correspondence. I do enjoy the interaction on the Forum, however I know the Lord is leading me to leave soon, so I doubt I will be on much, but "this thing can be addictive"...LOL Crucified in HIM, Luis |

Hello Luis, Let me be straight forward with you. I'm not going to be condescending and say "I feel the Lord has lead me to say this to you", but you're appearing ridiculous. I will pray for you as a brother in the Lord. Frankly, I find your self-serving criticism of "false claimers/apostates/ etc." a bit much:-( I do not say this to be intentionally harsh, but you come across as one who apparently "thinks more highly of himself than he ought to think" (Rom. 12:3). What of Romans 12:16 where Paul tells us to "...not be wise in our own opinion?" This is how you're coming across, Luis. You seem to be the only one whom God has revealed His truth to and everyone else is "Apostate?" Maybe you're not aware of it or don't care, but I've noticed this trend in your posts. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
