But the fact is the gospel is plain and simple. Jesus was born, died and rose from the dead and assended into heaven. This is the truth, the way and the light.
Why does it matter who says what about what doctrine? Let me ask you this.....when is the last time you went out and witnessed to your loved ones? When was the last time you talked about THE GOSPEL, Jesus Christ. Forget the doctrines, forget the debates. Can you NOT see that it gets you nowhere? We need to STOP anailazing and just obey what the bible says. How hard is that? How hard is it stop just obey as God commandes us to do? Things comming out of man's mouth seem sour, but do they have a point? Christ states in
Matthew 10:34 _Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
Why do many christians think that Jesus is here to send peace? To join together to be come one with the world? You don't like what you hear? Read it...somethimes we don't like what we hear, sometimes the bible is a mirror that shows our imperfections that we reject because we cannot stand what the bible says is true. Is the world sour? Of course it is!!! The world is NOT peace. What are you looking for? Some man that makes the world look all good and peaceful? The bible says the world is NOT to be loved. These men, maybe you don't like what you hear. Maybe you don't like what they have to say..but is it possible that these men ARE being lead by the Holy spirit to WAKE up those christian who are "sleeping" in the world?
Christ said I AM NOT HERE TO BRING PEACE!!!!
I may disagree with some of what these men have to say....but the truth hurts. The bible is being used as a sword to discern the spirits that are of this world.
Hebrews 5:14 _But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Hebrews 4:12
what are your thoughts and intents of YOUR heart? Why spend all day debating about what is right and wrong and start leading people to Christ? Will you feel shame as you stand efore the jundgement seat of Christ and look around and NOT se your loved ones standing with you? What will you say to your loved ones who ask you..."WHY didn't you try harder? Why did you keep this from me?"
Get your behinds out there are lead some people to Christ, teach them about the word of God, show them to obey God is to get baptised. They they will spead the message to others. What are you waiting for? Are you scared? Do you feel shame at a party because your NOT sure in they way others will react? This is satan whispering words of rejections to those who YOU think might NOT want to hear what you have to say. Do IT TELL THEM ABOUT salvation, tell them about the Word of God. Stop the debating and stop thinking and analizing and JUST OBEY whatthe Word of God says!
Sorry, I just feel convicted to write this. To Stop the debates. stop telling those YOU think are wrong and start with the TRUTH, which YOU KNOW is in Gods Word!
DO it....like the nike ad says "just do it" OBEY!
Loveyou all with all my soul and heart.
