Bible Note: Your example of the woman was an attempt made by this woman to convince herself she was not in danger of hell’s fire. Many in Christianity today want to divide God into many pie slices, from which they get to pick the slices they agree with and ignore or throw away any slices the don’t like or requires a change in their life style. They then try to form their slices of God into the full and complete God that does not conflict with their life. This is not a new phenomenon but has gone on since the formation of the church. I believe it worsen during the time of Reformation when many restraints were cast aside in the name of man’s determination of what scripture was saying for himself. That said I do believe a remnant of truth has and will prevail in the church. It is this unblemished virgin bride that Jesus returns to receive one day. |
