Peace be with you, interesting and genuine confession about the struggles in understanding everyday life here on earth as Christians. What is right and wrong? What is true and false? What is good and evil?
[These things are very close to each other in this world that we find it difficult to distinguish between them. So we carry on to live as we see and think, which is best between these two and in discernment we make a choice of practicing them in our daily life. Then later when this doesn't work out to give us peace, we try a different approach between these two and some have ignorantly survived to attain temporary peace and some have gone to the extreme to become miserable, in their lives here on earth. We all have been doing something in faith according to our sight and our thinking in this world to please 'self' and please others. In order to survive in this world and its system we are clever to mix and match between these two and encourage others to do the same and this has become the tradition of this world today in the midst of diversified religions. Even though they diversify in religion but because of the tradition of this world that rules their lives even today, they are able to mix and match between these two and encourage one another in order to survive in the tradition that rules all of them. Even they are able to cross from one religion to another.in order to find peace. But sadly in ignorance they are actually rooted to the religion of this world and its traditions in order to survive. And the other they observe and practice according to their natural birth and their natural individual religions has become a compromised show growing and growing in deception everyday.
This revelational information tool of the HOLY SPIRIT is not for us to judge or condemn outsiders but only to show unconditional love to their ignorance which only by HIS help we can and have become free and clean from because once we were like them. But use this tool only to judge ourselves as Christians, are we practicing even to the little ways of their pattern in our lives as a church?
(Choices between these two)
Hell<<----Kingdom of this world spiritual patterns----<< Born Again >>----Kingdom of GOD SPIRITUAL patterns---->>Heaven
As it is written; "Either hot or cold and not lukewarm (in between both), for I will spit you out."
Who is in real danger with GOD? Isn't it for sure Christians and not non-Christians for they still have a chance.
Many have joined into this company called 'Christian & Co. Unlimited' in order to prosper but they fail to read and know, in order to know and practice, all the requirements that is written in the contract during their probation period serving in the company. This contract was made by the employer Himself with His employees, who agreed upon the terms and conditions and also the rules and regulations written inside the contract(Covenant).
It is true we are not perfect? But we are not blind either by the help of the HOLY SPIRIT who is our true Teacher, we are also able to seek help when we turn to the employer's Son. He is able to sympathize and help us in all our weaknesses.]
In my experience in journeying with the LORD, He allowed me to wonder out, to know the things of this world and also in the gradual learning process of HIS Holy Bible regarding His Father's Kingdom, HE wants me to make a choice between both.
So in my experience in order to make a choice, for example Christian rap or rock, i enjoy them, for their lyrics are also spiritually encouraging but the beat is the one that is deceitful, which gradually listening to them, gets me all hyped up, puffed up and up cool even to my dressing with an earing, one of the mix match influence and trend of the pattern of this world. i have been there but Holy Bible led me to make a choice between both and since i am sanctified from this world into GOD's Kingdom because of CHRIST to grow in His likeness, then i must learn to suffer, giving up one and practice the other in order to stand out different.
Then why GOD allowed such music?
It is for us to test our faith to distinguish between the spirit of error and the spirit of truth operating in the church and in this world. They can be close to each other where It has a mixture of elements of partially Christianity and partially modernity. The Kingdom of GOD is not for Rappers, Rockers etc. but for sinners who turn back to GOD from this worldly elements and influences in order to worship GOD in spirit and truth.
There is tendency and evidence that a Christian can go back and live in between both because of the roaring lion the devourer. Let this and many others to come be a lesson to build and edify a true faith in order for one to make the right SPIRITUAL choices in practice, feeding our spared lives to grow from condemnation of Lawlessness.
As it is written; "A dog who goes back to lick its vomit."
'This sharing may be helpful to some but not to all because there are still babes in CHRIST.'
May the Good GOD the FATHER of our LORD JESUS CHRIST bless you and keep you from being tempted and protect you from evil.
Older people surely reject modern songs because of their experience that once they were young too and enjoyed them but it never helped them in the long run as they journeyed in Christianity. Since young people are adventurous and want to learn the hard way about true life, then we cannot stop them for it is the will of GOD.
As it is written; "JESUS did not use harshness and force on people."
