Subject: Ridding myself of guilt and fear |
Bible Note: Hello BradK: What makes you assume that I am a member of the Church of Christ? Is it because I believe in the "entirety" of the scriptures? Or is it because I believe in baptism? Or something else? Do you not believe that there are those in this world who are truly seeking the truth and finding His word revealed to them through the holy scriptures without being aided by an affiliation with a denomination or religious organization? Do you limit God in His capacity to enlighten individuals without being affiliated with any one group or denomination? Please see 2 Timothy 2:15 "15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." I am not ashamed to speak what the scriptures are telling me, because I know in my heart they are the inspired words of God! And what if I 'were' a member of the Church of Christ or some other affiliation? Does that in any way discredit the words of God and what the holy scriptures say? I am only hoping to help others come to the same conclusions that I myself have found through my continual study of God's word. I firmly believe that many who 'believe' they are following the truth, instead are being misled and deceived by Satan, who is the master of lies and deception! In Christ, happy soul |
