Bible Note: Hello 123, Again, it would REALLY help if you could be more specific in your criticisms! You're way too general by taking a view from 50,000 feet up. Can you get down to a few hundered feet? Aside from needing to consider the context and not being overly literal in you apporach to scripture, let me ask you this: Are you doing all these things you say are lacking? Are you (123) poor in spirit? Are you all these things? It's easy to point a finger without first looking in the mirror:-) Specifically: HOW are most abandoned by the church? HOW the church gives a sermon but doesn't know or doesn't care what their real life is? Have YOU ever asked each person about what agony s/he has, what spritural help s/he needs, or what sins keeps him/her from living a holy life? Have YOU ever checked if s/he grows in faith and holiness? Is this happening in your church or are these just general criticisms? Are you a personal eye-witness to these seeming atrocities, or are you just venting frustration? WHAT IS THE SOLUTION TO ALL THIS? DO YOU HAVE ANY ANSWERS!!! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
