Bible Note: EdB what is done is done. We will all stand in judgement of our actions and our words on that day. I do believe that you are sincere in your concern for those who may be led astray from the truth. We must, though, sometimes look at the tone of our writtings. Some view what I wrote as an attack on you, but rather it was an attack on the style of correction than upon you personally. I too must watch my tone. To answer some of the other posts written about me let me remind all of you that the Way was considered a "cult" by the Orthodox religion of Jesus' time. I belong to and adhere to the teachings of the Lord of lords and the King of kings. The Son of the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, who talks to me through His word and His Spirit who lives in me. I follow the WAY. Whose cult do you belong to? This is not a defence of the undefencable. It is about the way we treat the lost. I mean would we attack the beliefs of the Roman Catholics because they believe in the "deity" of Mary. No. The subject is not taken up and if a question is asked it is handled delicately, with love and compassion. After all there is no biblical foundation for praying to her is there? Do you meet the jehovah's witness at your door with a club and chase them from your property yelling "heritic, heretic"? I talk with them and try to show them where their error is and if they are unwilling to receive what is being given to them I tell then that God loves them good bye. Sometimes our zealousness gets over zealous. You and me. I thank God that we love the one who is important. We are asked to back up all our statements with scripture. Then we then we respond with opinion based on something we heard. There have been a great many posts about the jewishness of Jesus and the beliefs of Jews that are without any foundation but these statements are allowed to go unchallenged. We believe in a Jewish God who sent His Jewish Son to take our place on the Roman cross for our sins so we can be made into new creatures and become Jewish and heirs of the promises given to the father of the Jews, Abraham . We read a Jewish book written by Jewish men and we really no nothing about our heritage. Allowing posts to demean the ancestry of our faith. I am not called to defend the honor and the truth of the Jews but I know more about them because I follow the one true God. Why do I even mention this? Because WE have gotten away from what is important. Showing the world the truth, through out words and our actions. You can take what I have said and do with it what you like. EdB I feel that we have given each other permission, in past posts, to get involved in each others lives. If I have it wrong then tell me. It is unfortunate that sometimes things are written out in the open for others to misinterpret. One last time, my post was to open the eyes of your understanding not attack you personally. If all of you cannot take me as my Lord takes me, Asis, then turn me in and get me thrown off the Forum. Because I too am "DEFENDER OF THE FAITH AND THE TRUTH OF GOD" |
