My church teaches the truth
No my church teaches the truth
You guys have no idea, my church teaches the truth
There are so many different christian churches that are separated over the most basic ideas of Christ's teaching that I am sure if Christ came just now we would fall to the ground in shame.
I am amazed that so many people, so many intelligent people can argue over nothing but that nothing becomes massive in their eyes.
Be baptized and follow me. What can be more simple than that?
One is baptized because they believe that Jesus Christ is who He says He is and they believe He died on the cross for their sins leading to their eternal salvation. But when man gets a hold of this basic truth they change it and add to it and make things more difficult.
What did Christ say "have faith like little children" Why? Because children don't try to rewrite the Bible to suit themselves. They don't argue over silly points. They accept without questioning.
You can read and reread and reread and reread the Bible and still not understand what it means to have faith. You cant intellectualise the Bible because faith is a free gift. You don't get it because you have a PHD or you have studied at a Bible collage or go to church every Sunday. You get it because God in His grace gives it to you.
Stop thinking that you must read your daily portion of scripture to be a christian
Stop thinking that if you miss church you are not a christian
I have heard people say "oh I missed reading my Bible today and I had a bad day or I never prayed this morning and what a terrible day I had" so they then read more of the Bible and pray more.
People do you really think God is going to punish you for not reading or praying every morning?
Come on your not stupid!!!!
Your Christian heart will lead you to read and pray because you desire to know God and to spend time with Him.
The fruits of the Spirit will move you to meditate on scripture
The fruits of the spirit will move you to pray
A church that teaches Christ as Lord and saviour and preaches the word of God with Love is all you need.
Throw the rule book in the bin because its just a chain around your neck

I want to comment about grace and atonement.
(le-havdil) How to live in order to enable the Creator in His loving kindness to provide His kipur –atonement- is outlined in Tan’’kh ; and was also taught by Ribi Yehoshua. The first century Ribi Yehoshua from Nazareth (the Mashiakh; the Messiah) taught in accordance with Tan’’kh the only way to get connection with the Creator.

ReplyDeleteThanks for you comments and I have looked at your blog. Some very interesting points.
If we look at grace we can see that it is a free gift from God and something that is given freely rather than gained
