God's word is truth.

[p_rehbein]

NOW!! I can say you are flat wrong by the word of the Lord. When I do the best to love the Lord with my trying to obey Christ after He saved me, that is not rejecting Christ. When I go to church on Sunday even though I would rather do it on Saturday, going to church and giving myself to honoring the day the Lord set aside is NOT reaching back in time to do as the book of Hebrews teaches not to do. What you say you believe in is flat out rejecting Christ and all Christ asks of us. If you would take the time to read scripture, you would find it there.

Sister, if you really want to worship God on Saturday, then go to your Pastor and tell him/her that you want to have a Saturday Worship Service............I would think ANY Pastor would be happy to oblige you in that..........I know ours would...........and, for that matter, ours would be HAPPY to oblige your having a Worship Service seven days a week!

You do know that we don't HAVE TO go to a church to worship God? Now, I love gathering with my church family to worship God, but I can also worship God most any time and anywhere.............so I'm NEVER without the ways to worship Him, and that is surely a blessing to me.

God's word is truth on a condition i.e. my interpretation, isn't it?

Many believe Jesus is the Son of God while denying He's the Word of God.

There are so many conflicting interpretations how can they all be right?

Insightful question!!

When we accept God as truth and accept His plan of redemption for us, we become one family. Everyone who does that is our siblings. We are to love all of them, but just like in any family there are differences of opinion. That doesn't mean that all true members of that family says agreement is a requirement of love. True members of this family still stand together in love for each other.

There are many contradictions/disagreements over God's plan of redemption.

People can agree with each other but if they do not have "the truth" of God, they are still in error. They are simply agreeing over error.

Gods Holy Word IS TRUTH...........it is THE ONLY TRUTH in all the world......any who argue this are not of God......

Now, mans understanding/interpretation? Yeah, that's where TRUTH becomes "the glass darkly" in my opinion.

Mans understanding/interpretation does not IN ANY WAY change the fact that Gods Holy Word is TRUTH.

(but, now, that may just be me, so............)

Seems as if you are saying man does not have to have God's truth to be saved, that man can be in error and still saved.

No one sees clearly. We see everything distorted by our worldly experiences, scripture says we see darkly. From your posts, I see you accept Christ and have the Holy Spirit, yet you and I disagree on almost everything else. I have had experiences that show me I have the Holy Spirit. You have even accused me of not believing in Christ!!! Just saying as in the post I am quoting "they don't believe in truth" shows you sometimes say mistaken things, for you are not to accuse anyone of things like this. Only God knows about this "they" you speak of and we often read what people say through our eyes not the Lord's.

So truth is an absolute, it is there and absolutely true. It resides with the Lord. But we can only reach for it best we can, and be humble before scripture, the Holy Ghost and the Lord as we reach. Never being so prideful that we think we know all truth and are the only ones who understands it correctly. If you and I understood correctly, we as both with the same Father in the Lord would agree and we don't. And I am well aware that you have gone to the Lord to explain to Him that my understanding of Him is too far off to have Him accept me!! Sorry. You are still my brother, right or wrong.

So you are essentially saying men do not have to have God's truth to be saved, the contradicting opinions of men are sufficient enough to save man?

Gee, you find a fault no matter what is said.
My point, and your mis guided answer illustrates, is that it is not the fault of God's Word but our blurred vision. And yes, religious groups have fogged vision...that is the reason for contradictions.
Paul said ''We see thru a glass darkly...''

I find fault with any that think man-made contradictions can save man and not God's truth.

When I look at the religious world in general in this country, I do not see Christianity but Theistic Humanism where the truth of the bible has been replaced with man's contradicting opinions i.e., the bible is not the repository of truth, man is for man determines within himself what truth is. Therefore men can believe whatever they want to, even if they contradict each other, and all have Gods truth.

(If Christianity was actually made up of man's contradicting opinions, who would waste their time on it? I certainly would not)

 

[SeaBass]

Because people reject obvious truth in favor of lies.....they reject context and verb tenses and explain away truths that contradict the heresy that they spread....They deny the meanings of words and will say that the words in question don't mean what they really mean and they regurgitate what they have been taught or what their long dead great grand pappy believes and or taught!

Quite simply they deny truth in favor of lies and fables!

So you see there is no truth in contradictions. Many will not like your position that there is no truth in contradictions for they thrive on contradictions.

I once heard a woman say she thought how "wonderful" are all the differences in what people believe. Thoughts on that comment of this woman?

Your response is in agreement to what the poster was saying. I don't know why you are disagreeing with them

That poster said "And yes, religious groups have fogged vision...that is the reason for contradictions.

This comes across to me as if this poster is saying human knowledge of God's truth is "fogged" so he is suggesting contradictions exist but they do not matter and one can be saved in contradictions.

"The truth" also does not contradict itself. So how can there be thousands of religious groups that contradict each other yet all possess "the truth"?

they dont follow the bible

there is one church that is exact opposite on every single doctrine of the bible
