2 | Churchianity | Bible general Archive 1 | prayon | 7846 | ||
There has been so much bickering on the forum lately that I feel led to post an email I received written by Mike Forest. I believe we all should read it. It is named Churchianity but could easily be changed to "forum-ianity". I would appreciate it if this would remain on the question board to allow everyone a chance to read it before anyone answers it. I have posted the question twice so that the second can be used for the tree. Thank you ....prayon I have been reading with much interest on the subject of "Churchianity." I would like to make a few comments: For one thing there are no perfect churches because there are no perfect people. It doesn't matter how much we think we have it together spiritually, as soon as we walked into the front door, the church would no longer be perfect, because the Lord is still working on all of us. It cannot even be debated that the Lord did not establish organized religion or denominations, but the question to be asked concerning any church is this: How much of the Lord's presence is in the church? To what degree is Jesus Christ being given first place? Is Jesus really being glorified in this place? Who is really in control, is it the pastor, the deacons, the people, or is it the Spirit of God ? There are denominational churches where God is present, because a place is being given for the Holy Spirit to rule and reign. There are also non-denominational churches and home churches that are totally under the control of some man or group of people, and the Spirit of God is being quenched. Which church do you believe that the Lord is most pleased with? It is not only a question of being in the system or out of the sytem, but the question is this: Are we in the will of God? Are we related to the Body in some way? Are we allowing Jesus Christ to be Lord of our lives? Are we living for Him or just living for ourselves? Several years ago I got the shock of my life when Sharon and I met a couple that I had been corresponding with by E-mail in a home meeting in Alabama. I considered these people to be very spiritual people by the prophetic messages that they were giving out. They had come out of orgnized religion themselves. What I found out made me sick to my stomach because they dominated and took control of the meeting. Another brother even tried to bring a word of correction in love, but they wouldn't hear what he was saying. They wanted to be in control. This really taught me something, that there are some in the Body of Christ that are deceived, because they think they are something special and are not submitted to the Lord or to the rest of the Body but are out there doing their own thing. God has not called anyone to be seperated from the rest of the Body of Christ. We are all members one of another, and the Lord is against this individualism that fragments and breaks the Body apart. The one thing that the enemy is working overtime on is to cause division and strife and break the unity of the Spirit in the church. "For as the Body is one and has many members, and all the members of that one body, being many , are one body, so also is Christ." "For by one Spirit we are all baptized into one body, whether we be (parapharsed) in the "organized church", or outside of it), and have all been made to drink of one Spirit. For the body is not one member, but many." (1 Cor. 12: 12-14). "For while one says (parphrased) I am a baptist, another says "I am non denominational". Another says " I don't belong to any church, I only follow Jesus." Are you not carnal? (1 Cor. 3: 4). As you can see I changed the wording slightly, but you get the point. "For we are laborers together with God; ye are God's husbandry, you are God's building." (1 Cor. 3: 9). We cannot say that just because that someone is in the organized church or outside of it that they are not following the Lord. I believe that God leaves some saints in organized churches at least for a season, many times to pray and intercede. If you are on fire for Jesus in a dead church, then one or two things will happen. Either there will be a resurrection that takes place in the lives of those that are dead, or you will get the left foot of fellowship. In any case, whether it be revival or judgement, the Lord's will is being done. |

12 | Where was God? | Bible general Archive 1 | prayon | 16723 | ||
Where was God? I submit this for your consideration. Our concept of God is that God gave us the ability to do good and evil. when we choose to do good, God celebrates with us. When we choose to do evil, God cries with us. God gives us choices and gives us the ability to make those choices. But the choice is ours. When we look for blame, the blame is with us, not God. From the Jewish perspective, the question is always asked, "Where was God at Auschwitz?" The Jewish answer is "God was there. The real question is where was Man at Auschwitz?" | ||||||
13 | AGAPE NEWS PRESS: Harry Potter | Bible general Archive 1 | prayon | 21524 | ||
AGAPE NEWS PRESS: Harry Potter Pro-Family Advocates Warn of Potter Film's Content, Effect on Children By Fred Jackson November 5, 2001 (AgapePress) - More than 10,000 people, many of them children, were on hand in London last night for the world premiere of the movie version of the controversial Harry Potter series. Here in the U.S., pro-family advocates are warning parents the occultic content of the Warner Brothers movie Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone should not be taken lightly. When it comes to the world’s definition of what success is today, the Harry Potter book series is a record breaker. According to Baptist Press, a U.S. consumer research survey says more than half of all children between the ages of 6 and 17 have read at least one of the Harry Potter books, and the movie’s premier in the U.S. later this month is expected to follow that trend. But according to a new video by Jeremiah Films, such literature and films that deal with witchcraft are furnishing not just escapist entertainment for young viewers, but causing an overwhelming interest in the dark arts. Lindy Beam writes in an article for Focus on the Family about similar concerns. She says any time the dark side of the supernatural world is presented as harmless or even imaginary, there is the danger that children will find out too late that witchcraft is neither. Beam says in a world with an obvious trend toward witchcraft and New Age ideology, parents need to consider the effects that these ideas have on impressionable minds. Any comments? |

14 | Similarities of Moses and Jesus? | Bible general Archive 1 | prayon | 35184 | ||
I am trying to put a list together of the similarities between Moses and Jesus. Some are: Both were a mediator between God and man. Both did great miracles never done before. Both went for 40 days and nights without food and water. Both changes the systems of sacrifices and introduced new rituals. Both of them changes the priesthood. Both were shepherds. Both had unusual cradles and a Miriam (Mary) to watch over them. Both of them escaped the slaughter of babies. Both of them gave up riches and kingdoms to be a servant. Both became servants in order to free the people. Bothe were men of the greatest faith and deep prayer. And at the time: No one recognized their gratness. The people were slaves (Moses time slaves to Pharoah, Jesus time slave to sin and Herod's taxes). The people always wanted more. The people wanted to stone and kill them. Can you please give me more similarities? Thank you. prayon |
