Bible Question: What is the word mean Monastcism? thank you. God Bless |
Bible Answer: Greetings, You are asking about a word, “monasticism”, which is actually antithetical to what the Bible teaches. Those that have the “true” message of the gospel of Christ want to get out and share it, not go into seclusion and hide and try to gain the approval God and find something they haven’t got yet. The way I see it grace and monasticism are like oil and water, they don’t mix. Ephes. 2:8-9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9Not of works, lest any man should boast. Those that have experienced a “true” relationship with Jesus are like one poor beggar telling another pore beggar where he can find food. Matthew 5:14-16 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. 15Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. 16Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
