Bible Question:
Typical ! I am not a member of THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER DAY SAINTS ! But it is JESUS CHRISTS CHURCH ! It MUST BE ! I have done extensive searches,pondered and prayed and recieved an ANSWER through THE HOLY SPIRIT, FROM GOD not any man ! Of all the different denominations and DOCTRINES,theologies and phylosophies of men in this world,THIS CHURCH holds ALL the KEYS OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD ! This is my opinion !!! (humbeled by grace) Matt.16:15-20 JESUS tells of a RESTORATION not reformation ! You all became very aggressive to me. You all twisted my simple words and questions ! None of you could even answer my questions ! It is TRULY the BLIND LEADING the BLIND. BUT you can all SEE again !!! I KNOW the bible is THE WORD OF GOD. But it´s incomplete and distorted and changed to suite the DOCTRINES of men ! What are the KEYS OF THE KINGDOM JESUS gave to Peter ??? Obi 1 Kanobi |
Bible Answer: hi there obi 1,what exactly are the "keys" according to your understanding? i am not trying to be "stand-offish" or anything, as i also have met with aggression in this forum. according to the understanding imparted to me, the keys are the secrets of divine knowledge and faith, and also signify a direct link or relationship with God and Christ,and do not necessarily belong to any one particular "church" Luke 11:52. for God-thru-Christ chooses who so ever he will,Romans 9:16. As far as the Bible being changed goes, you are right to some extent; but we must believe that if the Bible is the word of God, then God has the ability to prevent his word from being distorted to the point that it no longer represents his will! This also is the reason that he has blinded the hearts of many, for they cannot change or manipulate that which they cannot comprehend! Please don't let the "behavior" of some discourage you from posting on this forum. Even today the spirit of the pharisees is with us! |
