I had so hoped that CC would lead me to a deeper understanding of scripture as we all got together in our search of scripture.
Instead I learned that the church today believes that God’s word is not to be trusted, for large groups of scripture are for Jews only.They say it is not a book of eternal truths for some of what they say must be ignored if you don’t live in Israel at a certain time.They even say that when God makes a covenant it is only temporary.They say a covenant adding to the first wipes the first one out.Yet, they seem to rely on the second covenant, never wondering if God would wipe that one out, too.They say that because God does not withhold salvation over our sins we must not know of sins, that knowledge is worthless to us.They acknowledge the Holy Spirit that it can lead to us knowing God but say that by following that we must not follow instructions on how to live for those that do are law keepers and trying to keep law is unworthy.Anything else the Holy Spirit leads to, they say is OK, just not law.
I thought certain things about God were given as true and all scripture was written by the same God and agrees.God is love and expresses that.We are to worship the one true God.God is eternal.I hadn’t come across people who questioned that before.We would need to accept these basic things about God in order to move ahead.The things I listed above deny the basics of God.
