But no matter I know God will straighten it out in me as in Romans 14, for it is God that whomwill make you stand and me as well. And what I really love is that I have been accepted in the beloved in Ephesians, ans so have you along with all believers. Now some think of every day as alike and give God thanks others view ine day above another and Give God thanks. Others Eat and give God thanks and others do not eat and give God thanks.
THis is what I meant about to becareful notto split hairs this one prays through the Holy Ghost thisone goes directly to Jesus each and every time and that one goes directly to Father and all give God thanks.
Jesus being the Bridegroom, requires one to behave as the bride in relating to God through our first love. Climbing up any other way in giving thanks, would be the same result of Him saying, I know ye not whence ye are" because they did not relate personally to Him as the chaste bride of Christ.
Now Father has recieved each one and to his own master each one stands or falls, who are anyone of us to judge another man's servant to his own master he stands or falls.
The irony is that Jesus spoke about heeding His words to build on that rock to avoid falling.
Matthew 7:[SUP]
23 [/SUP]And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. [SUP]
24 [/SUP]Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: [SUP]
25 [/SUP]And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. [SUP]
26 [/SUP]And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: [SUP]
27 [/SUP]And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
To what heeding of His words was Jesus pronouncing this judgment of that iniquity on?
Matthew 7:[SUP]
13 [/SUP]Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: [SUP]
14 [/SUP]Because strait is the gate, and
narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
So Who is the way that has been specified in how we come to God the Father by for Him to know us, and we Him?
John 14:[SUP]
4 [/SUP]And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. [SUP]
5 [/SUP]Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? [SUP]
6 [/SUP]Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. [SUP]
7 [/SUP]If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
The consequences for leaving our first love is mentioned below.
Revelation 2:[SUP]
3 [/SUP]And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted. [SUP]
4 [/SUP]Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. [SUP]
5 [/SUP]Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.
So no.... it is by His Word and by His grace & help, that I am hardly splitting hairs at all, because those that use tongues as a prayer language in what they think is giving of thanks, are hardly giving thanks to Him at all for He hears them not just as they do not know what they are praying and thus unfruitful even to them that pray in tongues.
Paul explained what he meant about praying in tongues and that was about praying that someone may interpret the tongues. Paul was not praying in tongues as if using tongues as a prayer form, but praying while he was speaking in tongues that someone may interpret. Paul explained further in verses 14 & 15 that it was his spirit that was praying, not the Holy Spirit.
Paul even went on to explain plainly what tongues were for.. for God to speak unto the people as God's gift of tongues was none other than of other men's lips for speaking unto the people.
1 Corinthians 14:[SUP]
13 [/SUP]Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret. [SUP]
14 [/SUP]For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful. [SUP]
15 [/SUP]What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also. [SUP]
16 [/SUP]Else when thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that occupieth the room of the unlearned say Amen at thy giving of thanks, seeing he understandeth not what thou sayest? [SUP]
17 [/SUP]For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other is not edified. [SUP]
18 [/SUP]I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all: [SUP]
19 [/SUP]Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue. [SUP]
20 [/SUP]Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men. [SUP]
21 [/SUP]In the law it is written, With men of other tongues and other lips will I speak unto this people; and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the Lord.
So there is no splitting of hairs when it comes to relating to the Bridegroom as the chaste bride of Christ and those that revel in vain and profane babblings, should go before that throne of grace for help to shun them to relate to the Bridegroom as they ought to because the Son of God really is the only way we can relate to God the Father by.
2 Timothy 2:[SUP]
15 [/SUP]Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
[SUP]16 [/SUP]But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.....[SUP]
24 [/SUP]And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, [SUP]
25 [/SUP]In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;
[SUP]26 [/SUP]And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.
God wants us to go to the Son in relating to and living that reconciled relationship with God through. The devil would point us away from the Son in relating to God by. That is what the spirit of the antichrist will do.
