[QUOTE="Serving Zion, post: 72612196, member: 387004"] [USER=409174]@LastAttempt[/USER] - you'll be greatly relieved when you meet Jesus, I can tell by the way you are speaking. I meet so many people that have been hurt by the loveless words coming from people that call themselves Christian, but because they have their false beliefs it blinds them to the truth and no amount of reasonable speech can break through that barrier. I am sorry you have had that trouble. It is hard for me too, because I meet lots of people who have been offended by such so-called Christianity (that is really the devil's religion: 1 Timothy 4:1-2), and then as soon as I mention the name of Jesus they think I am one of those - the antichrists, and they also put up their barrier against me: they have their beliefs about what they think Christianity is (that is, the religion of the antichrist) and it blinds them to the truth - they can't see me for who I am. But because the majority of Christians have marred the name of Christ, it's like a spell has been cast on them - the only way they can think of Christianity is as an evil thing (2 Peter 2:2). I just see that this risk for you is developing through this thread. I want to advise that you will recognise the depth of meaning in Philippians 2:12 and Philippians 2:20-21. This means that your faith is between you and God, that you should give no other man the honour of thinking himself worthy to teach you (Matthew 23:8-12, Mark 10:42-44, 1 John 2:27). Jesus said "God is spirit, and the one who worships God must worship in spirit and in truth". He also said that the world would recognise that we are His disciples by the love we have for one another. St. Paul observes that love rejoices with the truth and does not rejoice in injustice (1 Corinthians 13:6) .. and yet, what do the antichrist doctrines teach? They are teaching injustice, of course. This is their hypocrisy - their mind is so twisted and perverse that they somehow think it is justice that Jesus the righteous should have died on account of sinners (Matthew 23:35). They simply do not know love (1 John 4:7-8).
