That is where you are wrong! Do you think that God gave us His word so that we could believe whatever we want about it? In the last chapter of the book of Revelation, there is a warning for those who add to the prophecy of this book and those who take away what is written. Therefore, when you read something and you ignore what is being said at face value and apply a different meaning to it, you are guilty of adding to or taking away.According to your thinking, anyone can believe whatever they want and it's ok. I'm curious, with the way that you distort scripture, what would you consider a false teaching? According to your thinking, even Mormon's and JW's would be considered Christian's. We have so-called Christians who still trust in the works of the law as a requirement for salvation. Yet, scripture says that those who trust in them have wandered from the grace.We have people who teach that the resurrection has already taken place, yet scripture says calls it is godless chatter and that they have wandered away from the truth. We have people who claim that Jesus rose spiritually and not bodily, yet scripture states that believing in the bodily resurrection was proof of His being the Son of God and is necessary for salvation.We have people living same-sex life styles calling them selves Christian's, but have no intention of repenting because they don't consider that life style as sin, yet scripture states that no one who is willfully committing sexual immorality will not inherit the kingdom of God. I could go on and on with a myriad of false teachings. We can't be divided on these Biblical issues. One can say that he believes in God all he wants, but if he is not believing in the word of God, then that person is not in Christ. God did not give us His word so that each person could believe whatever they want to.
Brother Ahwatukee,
Tell me why I am wrong to think it is all about the Lord Jesus Christ and everything He has done in this world for everyone?
Is there something more I should add aside from the Lord Jesus Christ, is he sufficient enough for you? Or is there more to do, and believe, and watch for and look for and find?
Do you think that God gave us His word so that we could believe whatever we want about it?
The true calling of a Christian is to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and Love other people, and walk in faith, by the spirit.
He gave his story, for us to learn about, from the start to the finish.
He gave his son Jesus Christ to pay for sin, and he paid for the sin of everyone including those who have yet to believe.
Because of the Lord Jesus Christ and everything He had done dying for us while we were still sinners, because He loved us, we can have direction communication with Him and His Father in this life now., because we believe on His Son JEsus Christ
I believe He gave us this gift (the holy bible), we can look at and read now, and look at all the things that happend from the Start to Finish.
You believe whatever you want about it, you believe the end times are coming soon, this is subjectional
Christianity, for you.
You have even said that people would be tormented day and night out of context (that God's wrath it would last for ever on them), and that grace/mercy are shut down after death. This is subjectional Christanity to you.
You believe Jesus Christ is coming back, this is subjectional Christianity for you.
I believe, the end times are completed, this subjectional Christianity for me.
I believe, Jesus Christ has returned indicated by Scripture, this is subjectional Christianity for me.
I believe, God can still reach out to people who already passed on, this is subjectional Christianity for me.
I believe, the context of people being tortured day and night is actually talking about on earth, not in heaven. This is subjectional Christianity for me.
Do you understand what I am getting at?
False teaching, would revolve around someone to claim to be a prophet/Apostles (like the mormons do), someone saying that you can't marry, someone saying that you can't eat certain foods, that Jesus Christ isn't enough to save you, you have to live by the law. God isn't just love, but he hates others too. Things like that is what I see as false teachings.
According to your thinking, even Mormon's and JW's would be considered Christian's. (I placed them in here because they do mention atleast Jesus Christ in their congress sometimes) That is all, Just like muslims, they as well have Jesus Christ written in there little booklet. (Just leaves there case open because people can become born again, if they are seeking after the truth even if they are in those places, even in Catholic Churches.
I mean I'm given people that are there in those positions the benefit of the doubt, and if you run across them. You can teach them the truth in Jesus Christ if they are curious enough, that they may never understood before. Really just depends, do you understand where I am coming from sir?
We have people who teach that the resurrection has already taken place, yet scripture says calls it is godless chatter and that they have wandered away from the truth. This is did happen already, remember when Jesus Christ was resurrected, do you remember these ones who resurrected as well when Jesus Christ died?
We have people who claim that Jesus rose spiritually and not bodily, yet scripture states that believing in the bodily resurrection was proof of His being the Son of God and is necessary for salvation.
I agree that Jesus Christ did rise up out of the tomb, and I believe that He had His body.
But the fact alone is all you have to do is believe on Jesus Christ being raised again, it doesn't really need the specifics, just if you believe that it happend, you shall be saved.
Romans 10: 9 that if thou mayest confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and mayest believe in thy heart that God did raise him out of the dead, thou shalt be saved,
We can't be divided on these Biblical issues. One can say that he believes in God all he wants, but if he is not believing in the word of God, then that person is not in Christ.
Are you my Authority? Do you have Authority in the name of Christ Jesus to Judge me?
As man we are all sinners, and have fallen short of the glory of God.
God, alone is the Authority, Im under, as well as everyone else. He does have the world in His hands after all.
I believe in God, and Jesus Christ, as my Lord and saviour, are you saying everyone that has believed on the Lord Jesus Christ must read their bible every single day ? Why can't a person just believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and live by the spirit and in faith. You know what the spirit brings to a person? '
If love is not enough... I'll never know what truly is besides clinging on to the Lord Jesus Christ.
Galatians 5:22 And the fruit of the Spirit is: Love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith,23 meekness, temperance: against such there is no law;
We have people living same-sex life styles calling them selves Christian's, but have no intention of repenting because they don't consider that life style as sin, yet scripture states that no one who is willfully committing sexual immorality will not inherit the kingdom of God. I could go on and on with a myriad of false teachings.
Do you not believe that Jesus Christ paid the sin for the entire world? The debt of Sin has already been paid for once.
I don't know what I can say about this one my friend... If there a homosexual person, who tells yes I do believe in God, and JEsus Christ as my personal Lord and saviour... How can I really judge the man... We aren't God to say this is how it is, this is how it has to be done, because there are a lot of human beings out here in this world today... We have all made mistakes in life, and still will until the day we die.
Why can't the prostitute down the street, who gets paid for her services, believe in God, and the Lord Jesus Christ and still be saved, even though she grew up and experienced a lot of pain and suffering that lead her to being in the postion that she was in and gets murdered?...
What makes us anymore Good? None of us are good, we are all bad, the only goodness that even comes out of us is in and through Christ Jesus, always Him.
Mercy... Mercy...
Don't you even believe in Death bed repentances, for those who never accepted God, and Jesus Christ?
God did not give us His word so that each person could believe whatever they want to.
Well not everyone is the same.
We can all have the same mind that Jesus Christ, came down, died, and was risen again the foundation of truth every believer can rest assured in.
1 John 3: 23 and this is His command, that we may believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and may love one another, even as He did give command to us,
The Bible is God's book, and only if you approach it as God's book have any real hope of
understanding its message. (Isaiah 66.2) "But on this one will I look: on him who is poor
and [humble] and of contrite spirit, and who trembles at My word".
The Creator claims that His word is generally hidden from the "wise and prudent"
but it is revealed to "babes" ( Matthew 11:25). God is not talking about babies in age or
understanding, but rather those with a simple, humble,teachable attitude that one might
call "childlike"."
Along with this humble and teachable outlook must be a willingness to actually obey God.
"A good understanding have all those who do His commandments,". The psalmist declares
(Psalm 111:10) The natural or carnal mind is "enmity against God" (Romans 8:7)
It is rebellious against God's law and wants its own way. Many religious people talk about
"knowing the Lord" but, as Paul told Timothy, have a mere form of religion, while denying
the Bibles authority to rule and regulate their lives ( 2Timothy 3:5)
Hmm, thanks for sharing this with us my friend prove-all.
You know someone who doesn't like someones teaching, doesn't have to stay under that teaching.
Nor do they have to believe them. I'm a man, don't follow me, I will say go to the Word of God, and study and read it for yourself, don't believe me, but believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and lean on Him.
but I do like teaching things I have been taught, like the Return of Jesus Christ, this post here this Kingdom that Never Ends. I like sharing with others, but if they don't agree with me, that is totally okay, but to ex-communicate, is just so silly.
I am not really anything more than someone who has come to a realization of some things, and I love to share because I love God, and I am so thankful to all the things He did, by and in and through His Word/Son, our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
