Subject: What does Matthew 24: 28 mean? |
Bible Note: Dear Kalos, you wrote: "I.e., do you search the Scriptures after you've visited a church so that you can determine whether the things you heard are so?" In Hebrews chapter six the Bible writer exhorts Christians to "...press on to maturity, not laying a foundation again,..." of the "primary" or "elementary" things. Then the writer, probably Paul, goes on to mention six 'elementary' things, including faith toward God and repentance from dead works. In all of the Christian churches which I have visited I have found only discussions and messages related to those very same "elementary things" concerning which Paul exhorted Christions not to be "laying a foundation again". Thus there is never anything concerning which I need to "determine whether the things...are so", by searching for them in the Bible. Furthermore, recorded at Luke 6:40, His Holiness the Christ stated: "A pupil is not above his teacher, but everyone perfectly instructed (or fully trained)will be like his teacher." I routinely encounter men and women who have been attending the same denomination for 5, 10, 20, 30, 40 or more years, and yet after all those years, he's still 'up there' and they are still 'down here'. They never become like their teachers. Where do the Words of His Holiness the Christ recorded at Luke 6:40 find their fulfillment? Most certainly not in Christian churches. Cordially, Ross |
