1 | Why can we not just be Christians? | 1 Pet 1:2 | Aixen7z4 | 151799 | ||
Are we not obligated to obey God? Does he not command (1 Corinthians 1:10) that we speak the same thing? Should we not then seek to do that? We do a grave wrong, and harm, by disregarding that command. I have come to see that. And I stand ready to fight, with (not against, but together, on the same side) to work on it, with anyone who wants to right that wrong. I would have hoped that someone would be interested in finding ways for us to do it, to speak the same thing. But strangely, we seem to take delight, and pride, in saying, “I disagree”. One of these days, I hope that we will stop that, and decide to do what God says. He says we should speak the same thing. And may I say, the context indicates he does mean that we should all say, “I disagree”. O that we would focus on the nugget of truth in what our brother or sister is saying, and magnify that! We could contend for the faith (Jude). We could stand in defense of the Gospel (Philippians 1). We could fight the good fight of faith (1 Timothy 6), together (2 Timothy 4:14). Our house will stand (Matthew 16) because God is able to make it stand. But it is yet his will that we stand fast in one spirit, with one mind, striving together for the faith. Anyone can disagree with that, and they can attach scripture to support their disagreement. Someone will say we cannot let false doctrine go unchallenged. But the challenge before us is to find the part that we agree on, and focus on that. Finally, my brother, whatsoever things are true, think on these things. |

Your words, dear soul, are more meaningful than the average reader could possibly see. Should civilization choose to concentrate, and act on them, as they do things of so little consequence, mankind would come closer to Him. I do not believe it will ever happen though. I would love to see someone produce a scripturally founded statement contrary to this thought. Not one interpreted as such, "a scripturally founded statement contrary to this thought..." The Rapture will come, (Come soon Dear Lord!) then the awful times of Tribulation, the Armageddon, and finally, the Millennium. Then, and only then do I believe such desires as what we have noted, can come to pass. No more could they come to pass in this generation, than in that of Noah, or of Sodom and Gomorrah. No doubt, the flood was the end of evil, in the day of Noah, fire and brimstone in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah, and the Rapture will be the end of this day. (Come soon Dear Lord!) In His Name. |
