Bible Question:
Why are paganized doctrines within the Church. Answer: Because the devil was wroth with the woman (church) and influenced man to corrupt the Truth of the Bible. Here is a list of the corrupted beliefs: eternal hell, 1st day worship, immortality of the soul, all food is now clean and good, and rapture/tribulation prophetic theory. Why does the Church not acknowledge these false doctines ? Because of pride and the devil is working his plan to deceive as many as possible before Christ returns for the dead and living in Christ. |
Bible Answer: Isn't it possible that some of the pagan beliefs are not that big of a problem? Christmas trees, for example, are derived from a pagan tradition. But it doesn't matter, because we've changed their meaning. For us, they represent everlasting life - because they're evergreen. In my opinion, we have not adopted pagan beliefs and traditions. We've conquered them and replaced their meanings with God's love and truth. The really dangerous beliefs and doctrines are much more hard to spot. For example, when we set our sights on christian work instead of on God, I think that satan is having his way with us. If we are truly abandonded to God, Christ's victory will be enforced automatically and we won't be tempted, discouraged and tired out by our work. Overall, I'm arguing for a very simple thing: complete abandonment to God. He's already sought us and bought us with reckless abandon to the cross. That's our example. All the inacurate beliefs and doctrines will fall by the wayside when we dive head-first into God's will. |
