Bible Question: how can a christian live in times like this with out being weak minded? |
Bible Answer: Lidiagg, Depending on what you mean it would require different answers. If you mean how do we avoid being weak minded doctrinally so as to avoid false teaching from the world then I would point you to Ephesians 4. Eph 4:11-14 And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ; until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ. As a result, we are no longer to be children, tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by craftiness in deceitful scheming; So what you are to do is to faithfully place yourself under solid biblical teaching, and diligently study the word of God with fellow believers. However, should you mean how do we hang onto all of our worldly possessions when so many people are out to trick and scam us then I would say to you that we likely shall not. Our lord himself says this. Mat 5:39-42 "But I say to you, do not resist an evil person; but whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also. If anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, let him have your coat also. Whoever forces you to go one mile, go with him two. Give to him who asks of you, and do not turn away from him who wants to borrow from you." In Christ, Beja |
