I decided it is not right to resist what could be true just because not to agree if that is what it means to trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding if that means that you don’t have to decide if you think something is wrong but that incase you are wrong and God knows better to follow what is taught and leave judgement to God though it may mean to follow what seems right not what you are taught and trust Him to guide and decided I would trust the Orthodox Church because it seems most true I don’t agree with Catholic Church anyway to judge if people remarry even if person has permanently entered into another relationship I am not convinced to know it is not true so would not be right to leave it to follow it though it could be true but current pope and leadership not following what earlier popes did and peter did not have authority over others so that all must be under his authority but only given gift to teach as far as it teaches all can be saved but otherwise to trust only in Christ once I know truth if it does not.

I do believe rather God wants people to trust Him to be just not to lean on what others taught but trust Him to guide and it is right to as people need to all repent so I should not support divisions but seek to find a church that does not make divisions to show it understands bible better and if not go to any church which seeks to study bible which could have understanding though it differs in theology not to accept divisions.

I believe it is not wise to fight the scripture about what could be true that perhaps person can not see clearly why God judges about what Christ sees but the truth is in scripture perhaps that you need to not put trust in anything except christ for we are not justified by anything except Christ not any belief or works that needed to be done before if you don’t have opportunity or there is no chance of salvation only for Christ said He will cast out no one who comes to Him though you should because you may not get opportunity to repent that you should not accept church teaching unless it can prove it is biblical that they have clearly shown that it is true by claiming you need church to show the whole way and that all can be saved but otherwise to trust in Christ. People should only go to church just to show to support others of true way of salvation that you are going for them to prove but otherwise direct people to Christ only. I don’t want there to be divisions but it seems it is not right to potentially mislead others for people to be saved and also to escape tribulation time if there is rapture to escape. If it is not true I hope Christ can prove it if we seek Him and pray but otherwise preach that incase.

I do believe it is a mistake to support divisions from fear that I should not because people always need to be ready though I dont believe I would have stumbled before because people I believe would not leave the faith it would be evil that if concerned they could accept and leave judgement to Christ and they will not be judged for temporarily being less devoted only as they do not know though they follow what they know Christ definitely requires from them not to excuse them if they really could not see clearly to be of sound mind to not feel they know the path to follow for christ to accept them as they kept the faith and had desire to obey though they are not convinced to know Christ requires them to do more if they don’t know what path Christ wants them to follow to do more but still should not support divisions not to affect those left who suffer to not trust from judgement who may not be serious disobedient from divisions though it is wrong from them and should not make stumbling to potentially cause disobedient people to be offended incase they could use as reason to do evil to leave the faith though they have no excuse and we should be united serving Christ so I will not.

Actually I decided it is right not to support divisions as people must be ready to trust God that He never judges to do something you can not know is just but just thought I’d share for others because it is shared and if concerned can follow it if you think important.

I think it is not wise to fight scripture that all should accept to receive Christ as Lord and Saviour to put trust in Christ as saviour that He will save if you are following all you know that if need other He will always show you what you need to do to prepare works to follow which you will do if you received Him as Lord and Saviour incase it is His will though I can’t say to know it is maybe if we pray we can find it is not for there is no reason not to that all can and leave judgement to Christ.

Billy Graham once said the breast plate of righteousness to protect us during tough times is to hold to righteousness of Christ to not feel hopeless because you could not know you done enough to be worthy to be saved.

Was watching video in evangelism course about spiritual warfare.

Because I said I would be commited to a church I decided to commit to Orthodox Church incase true and if it may help more to know things as long as they don’t judge and teach all can be saved and to show the way otherwise all people should trust in Christ only. I do not actually believe now you need the church but to do incase because it claims to and to learn.

I believe it is actually not right to teach what I want to take risk for that way people also don’t respect others beliefs even if they are accepted but we don’t know that it is and it is only safe to preach what we know in scripture that all need to trust only in Christ as saviour for one trust should not be in any human work to believe in any idea as being cause of justification but only Christ and some teach works are needed to be done too if you can’t which you should not trust but only Christ so all should believe that and leave judgement of other Christian’s to Christ and hopefully for Christ to prove if otherwise for it is wrong to put trust in a church because it is not biblical that atleast Christ accepts all and church teachings are unjust to claim authority to teach after apostles for first fathers of traditional church or afterwards to judge unbaptised babies as official teaching that was not refuted to teach to have direct relationship with Him and I believe Christ would support that because if you needed to follow church you may never know if you are doing enough to be considered following Him which does not lead to trust to encourage repentance and may teach you need Christ as saviour though it may be Christ accepts others but should leave for Him to prove perhaps by our prayers. It is not wise to ignore preachers who warn that perhaps rapture could happen any time soon and there is nothing wrong with trusting only in Christ it is wrong to think Christ will only accept people in church when it’s beliefs are unjust anyway to judge person just because not accepting a external thing or what they could not know to prove if young when others show need to trust in Christ and seems more convincing.

I thought to preach so because I was worried maybe not to trust because of behaviour because it seems foolish to change often that it is wrong that God won’t forgive me and was not confident of myself from others views to think not wise to ignore them but I believe it is wrong that I should follow my conscience as all people need to be ready to be prepared and and should trust God He accepts all Christian’s because it could not be true if it does not help make all repent.

I don’t believe in divisions and since I do not I think I might as well follow Orthodox Church to find out to walk with God and see the truth and should be commited to it as was advised and I said I would and others can too if they want if they don’t believe divisions and if they are concerned to want to know truth. I think I should be fully commited to see if can learn more that there is yet can go to learn from other churches too especially from other churches which may not support divisions to prove truth yet if not sure as God does not want to force all to follow one to judge still follow orthodox church incase.

I believe it is wrong that I should trust God that God is a just Father not to be afraid because of stories of church saints like Ignatius of Antioch how they overcame that I should trust God who said call only Him as teacher though it is safe to be with other elders to learn but it should be in bible what they teach that I can go without accepting church beliefs to allow them to seek to prove that they know more than others about how to follow bible If others are worried they can follow church.

I believe actually the Lord may come soon as He says pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things to come to pass and to stand before the Son of Man which is for all and said beware you be consumed with carousing or surfeiting which includes not just drinking but focusing on worldly things to live for like eating and cares of life like what is one focus first to be rich to be consumed with desire to be rich so that you are not serving God for not all will be rich that God only allows certain people to be rich who serve Him first that they don’t pursue it first and people must be content with what they have when they serve Him not to put off service for desire to be rich or seeking to make it one focus to live for pleasures.

It is not wrong though to enjoy things as bible says God richly gives all things to enjoy and Ecclesiastes says nothing better than to enjoy fruits of one labor but it must only be if you are serving the Lord and or working for the purpose of break to give chance for person to enjoy things of life to be recharged to be balanced and not against that to stumble others that they can’t and also helps one understand world better to maybe know more to reach others.

But focusing on things of world must not be focus but to serve the Lord that it should only be done if your focus is on serving the Lord that you are doing all you know but you find a break would be helpful as your service could be more helpful if you know more but not to be consumed in that but in serving the Lord and taking some breaks as useful for person must focus on serving the Lord for that day will come unaware when men say peace and safety sudden destruction will come.

Perhaps some will be raptured or will die to be taken to be with the Lord all at one time or maybe does not mean one time but those who are ready as bible says 2 will be in one bed and 2 will be in field one will be taken and the other left could be a rapture or taking away of righteous or could be the ones taken away are the wicked and the righteous will be preserved on the earth to a place of safety to help prepare them to meet Christ it seems before tribulation because not all Christian’s can work in tribulation how can that be unless the world will have people living in peace without seeing that judgement from the Lord awaits them which is meant the Lord coming for the bride to go for wedding while the rest are to wait for end of wedding as He says watch that you are ready after end of wedding which is end of tribulation.

It seems all believers should trust in Christ during this time because we do not know and judgement should be left to Christ perhaps if we pray Christ will teach unity I could change my beliefs later for God to reveal to me but for now I believe all should trust in Christ incase.

I do believe that God never tells to trust something one does not know is just and He wants me to trust Him not to make divisions because it could offend people because it seems unjust and they may be slack to not be ready because they not sure it is path and to want to follow it if they don’t know to not want to stumble others from path others follow to stop them from getting help that may help but feeling despair not to be able to stop them from leaving that path though not sure what is right to be slack and I believe such is unjust that I should not support it as people need to all be ready so I will not. But that all should be ready watching and living for Christ to ensure they are worthy if they are repenting.

I believe actually a Christian does not need to know anything from the world but only needs to know Christ and Him crucified though persons will not be condemned for to the pure all things are pure but to the defiled and unbelievers who do not know the Lord to have faith nothing is pure if they do they should not if it can cause them to stumble to allow any worldliness in heart though they will not be condemned if they did not mean to stumble and if they repent but it should not be done it is waste of time that people should focus on preaching gospel just as Jesus said that He must work the works of Him who sent Him while it is day the night is coming when no man can work that even video games are a distraction and waste of time that you should spend time with the Lord and preach the gospel. Persons should only have break if they need it if it is clean if they have done what they can do and if others have been reached and you don’t know of others who have not been reached to serve the Lord and not do anything that you do not know would not harm your ability to be good minister if you think it could be helpful unless the Lord has confirmed that such is ok and can not harm you.

I believe it is not wise to take risk but all should accept Christ as saviour incase necessary though we can’t know maybe God will prove differently if we pray but we should now incase and to tell all you love who must if they can understand to do so otherwise they will have chance in world to come. Repentance is change of mind can be done at any time while there is chance as people we’re saved at 11th hr but not all have chance to repent later if not to do what you can you can die at any time while you are not seeking to do.

The post I posted actually is misunderstood to support only one Christian path exclusive to them that is not taught by the bible that the bible did not teach to support divisions from differences they can not know what was early church as Paul said there are divisions among you some say we follow only Christ so Christ does not judge when He has not sent servants to show the truth what was from beginning and you can’t expect all to follow that path that all believe also Christ can save at 11th hour if you accept their beliefs that you didn’t need works so should not preach incase can make others slack and not ready so I should support unity to encourage all to repent as they must. For though I don’t agree with Catholic beliefs that they are harsh to not allow remarriage for those who did not do what is wrong to break covenant of marriage and not biblical and perhaps to tell others it is not wrong for person who was never married before if they got married to a person who was divorced for the reason Christ allows if they did not know church teaching they may teach it is ok for that person to divorce as they were never in valid marriage though that is wrong and harsh to do so and not according to Christ church still claims to speak for Christ and if people don’t know won’t be judged and because people don’t know church is wrong won’t be judged.

I do believe it is not wise to speak for God but should leave judgement to Christ. I do not believe Christ made a church organisation because it can not give assurance to say you are saved now by trusting Christ to only need to do what Christ leads you to do not your own works but Christ alone can make to prepare works. I do not believe it is true to scripture which said call only Christ teacher that He guides everyone who has trusted Him. I do believe it is just anyway that a person only needs Christ for one is saved only because of Him and not anything else so one faith should be in it that. I do not believe God would ever judge people who do not know anyway church is right to trust it that there is not better proof for it and is wrong to judge unbaptised children who did not know convincing to be convinced from others arguments but otherwise we teach only those who knew truth are judged who rejected it if they heard it to comprehend it or refuses to hear that he may comprehend it and can not reject it if can not prove it is false. So I believe all should trust in Christ and leave judgement of other Christians to Christ so one is saved and to be raptured incase there is. I don’t believe really am responsible to make people slack because they should understand that we can not know truth if required and if concerned it does not matter their position they do not need to follow any traditional beliefs they can just accept what they think to be concerned if true and leave judgement of other Christian’s to Christ.

I thought this video Max Lucado could be helpful and from God to know the solution to my problem for I can obey what I think is right and if wrong if I trust God He would lead me to something different maybe not straight away but as I seek Him. But he seems to refer it to trusting God for your life to make you saved that you don’t need to change yourself but let God or that not trust yourself to look after yourself in anything but it seems wrong if means not to make proper preparation with what you can do to lean on God to help you.

I decided not to support divisions incase it does not help though people should understand they may not be to not be serious and I don’t believe it is true so I should not support divisions. I believe the most important thing is person is living for Christ not to grumble for not having earthly things which are not important but but to show care for all who don’t have that I just want Christ to be living well in me as the song people get ready says but I do believe actually it is right to seek to marry as it pleases God to help others looking for partner and to have Christian children to show that we do seek to increase Christianity not to decrease influence but I think for my self I will not follow to show care.

Actually I do believe it is not wise as if I have ability if have money to already support for now or to have job to be able to work it may be what God intends to have children and have partner to help one do more. I would accept to not try to be single if God will it but even being single I am criticised by people as though it is self inflicted that pastors say that marriage is blessing of God that He wants you to have that He is able to give if you surrender your life as if to judge me and I am judged for enjoying my life and not preaching always as others though I do not believe it is my mission as them because I do not see it as needed if I have preached to all I know. But though others make me feel insufficient alone I change my mind that I think I will try to follow incase to show care and to not be distracted to be able to do as much to serve the Lord or maybe it would not help that I won’t be able to do as much alone and should not be worried to not be able to do what I want as it should be respected and I should marry to ensure more successful if not if I gain responsibility so I will seek to. Actually do believe it is better now for me not to show care and because I could be more distracted to do less.

But actually I think it not helpful because it encourages people not trying when it is God will and people should not envy or judge for they would not judge others who have to be willing to honor them but wish to judge others as less and it is path for some to do more especially if they are not fully qualify that God did not clearly show them He wants them to preach and qualify them to know how to approach and engage with people in street and know He will be with them and to know more how to build relationship if you did which God intends people to know value of relationship that is his design for person to know pure relationships that it is experienced and be encouraged and some people are not respected as much to allow them to serve in community but if married may be more respected.
