Subject: Lutheran/non denominational communion |
Bible Note: James, In reference to your statement of everyone being the same in the eyes of the lord.There seems to be alot of confusion with the building of barriers and of the chosen people of God. My pastor just preached on the subject today. He referenced Gen 12:1-3, pay close attention to verse 3... verse 3 simply says that ALL people will be blessed through Abram. My pastor said that the term chosen people has been turned around from it's original intent. Since God loves all people, He had chosen the Jewish nation to spread His word and His free gift's of mercy, grace and salvation. You can substitute any denomination for Jewish. All churches should be inclusive to all people, instead of setting up all kinds of conditions that have to be met before you enjoy the grace and love of Jesus Christ. You can go to my churches website at www.nwcc.org and click on the audio archives and look for this sundays message and listen to it. The messages are in the Real Player format. This message should clear up alot of your confusion. In Christ, Dennis |
