I have this feeling I should obey this

[mikeforjesus]

People may not all be called to be missionaries but I think like the early church God calls to sell all you have and give to the poor which could include giving to your children if you have any part that you can until they can make decision for themselves so can not use excuse if you have to give but you might not have to for God to provide I think even if one does not have money can test for God to provide if obey now to help kids and if God does not provide everyone someway for their daily needs then He means to have job to help your children.

It is not possible for all to be missionaries in other country so perhaps do not have to or you have to be in the process to be making effort to go even if you are slowed down because it is hard to find out how but are still making effort according to what you know however slow but even if you can’t make it you are accepted and any can be saved if they just turn to the Lord to call but they might not get opportunity to turn at all to the Lord if that is all one can do one is called to do everything possible one can now.

Just thought so in reconsidering book from end time survivor group again not for everyone that I should consider again.

Also to be sure as God may want unity for people to ensure to be preaching truth in other generations and to make unity though I don’t see it not truth but I think should teach all should also get baptised and have communion incase and leave judgement of other Christian’s to Him trusting He is just.

 

[mikeforjesus]

I believe rather it is not right to teach it as essential but people should if they are prepared and if others are worried they can but I think person should find first whether it is good and he is able because if one does follow and it is not right one could harm that others need. So I do not think it is required to give up work or to work to have money as bible also says some will be rich in this age but they have to be rich in good works.

So I think as Jesus said sell what you have and give alms He does not mean not to look after yourself which God has provided your needs as bible says also that to prosper is good to serve God as bible says and God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work.

We see in the early church it was freely chosen though was not a rule but many of them had practiced to share. We know it was not a rule as Peter says to Ananias who lied before it was sold was it not your own ?

Showing that to work is ok to support giving that God gives richly all things to enjoy to be used for Him but it is important to do good by sell what you have and give alms He means from what you have that you don’t need after you have businesses to seek to be charitable if you can to be rich in good works though you only need to do what you can now and some may only be able to call on the Lord.

But person should be doing as much good as he can wherever one knows one has genuine need and help anyone less fortunate even if they don’t know how needy they are to raise for them incase they are in need every one can afford to spare $30 to raise to those who ask incase one dies not being able to call on the Lord but if one thinks one is at risk he can give away all you don’t think your children need and for businesses to charity.

I don’t believe other Orthodox are sincere and other Christians not to give me a chance and I believe nothing wrong to follow Catholic Church as you can not know it is not true so I will follow Catholic Church. I believe it seems also it does not teach if there is no priests preaching you have to seek to join it but accepts other communities who are baptised to accept the faith I will only now follow church or be Christian that does not follow those churches if I have experience from God that He proves to me. Though I am concerned about others people should trust God to leave judgement to Him knowing He will do what is just.

 

[mikeforjesus]

This is why I wouldn’t think of following the Orthodox Church even if I just decided to though they don’t support to accept others who are honest to themselves not accepting them to force what they know could be false on others to force they lie to people to keep them in fear and oppress them and hinder the work of the gospel.

As this article says it shuts door on people to make it impossible for some living to be saved yet they have not died and if person wants to Christ accepts any. The blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is to refuse to accept not to require something that anyone at any time does not already know what to do.

“Hard-hearted, incorrigible sinners, listen to what I have to say to you today! I will talk to you about repentance and I will prove to you how whoever doesn't want to repent while he can, a time will come when he might want to but can't.”

I decided I would not follow Catholic Church as also I can not know that I want to follow Orthodox Church as I agree more with its beliefs that Christ did not make anyone as above in any matter but perhaps gave them each ability functions and roles for each and I agree with its beliefs that remarriage is allowed after adultery for otherwise you support abuse if person leaves for one to be without if one just married. I don’t think one needs to be orthodox for I am willing to believe God justice but not if one does not give me a chance how can I trust. So I will follow Orthodox Church because I take as sign He wants me to follow as no one else will give a chance that perhaps He wants me to focus on the faith so I will.

That though I thought to support church could stumble people to make them lukewarm maybe not to believe in God judgements some to be Christian’s but not to take walk seriously I would not be responsible as I do not judge if such is truth and think so they can follow and leave judgement of other Christian’s to Christ knowing He will be just because also I thought also since I am not accepted among them maybe they want me to be dedicated to it to know since also they think it would be better if some doubt and they have been shown truth of God judgements in scripture so they have no excuse to not take seriously.

I just will not take others authority for the church what they teach if it does not agree with Christ who clearly said anyone can come to Him saying if anyone thirsts let him take freely from the water of life. That anyone who wants to can be saved freely by His grace as bible says whoever believes will not perish that He will not make it harder to repent if person wills.

 

[mikeforjesus]

I decided I would not follow church because I should still show to be more serious as Christ may come soon for rapture and to testify to following Christ that all are ready and because any can die to make others ready before it happens. If anyone is worried he can follow church but I decided I would focus on preaching and fellowshipping with like minded Christian’s in helping one learn to serve Christ and any Christian’s though they don’t accept beliefs to learn to encourage to walk closer with the Lord.

 

[mikeforjesus]

Though the teaching of the church is hard no divorce for any reason except death which is hard if person does not want to control himself yet may be right that person can. Yet it is not considered a valid marriage if person refused to have children before that cheating on purpose not trying. I see no one is sincere to give me a chance and incase unless convinced otherwise since I can’t know Catholic is not true I think best to follow that and that others should too if you don’t know is not true as God is just not to require.

Though it is wrong to remarry the Catholic church I believe may agree it is ok that previous one is not valid if one refuses to live with one and reconcile to be at peace in home that it would be invalid though having sexual relations may not be possible after adultery lest one gets disease anyway if one had children one should be content even if one leaves.

I believe therefore to be safe I think to teach people to be Catholic unless you know is not true for God is just not to judge by something you can’t know is not true.

 

[mikeforjesus]

I believe scripture does not support church and teaches to only call Christ teacher and He is only saviour and mediator that it is not necessary to go to any place where there is priest to worship to travel as Christ told Samaritan woman therefore I think all should accept Christ as Lord and Saviour to ensure saved before death and to be raptured if there is. Perhaps if we pray Christ will reveal that all Christian’s can be saved.

I saw this posted on a Christian Facebook page called end time headlines.

WHEN THE DOOR IS SHUT
___________________________
Beloved, Jesus said "As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man" Matt 24:37

Beloved, Noah's days was characterized by wickedness or evil; in fact, sin was rampant and normal and they ignored they warning of God's judgement to do their normal things; eating and drinking and continuing in their sinful lifestyles,
Noah was a preacher of righteousness to warn the known world of God's judgement; he preached for 120 yrs and only 8 people were saved.(see: 2 Peter 2:5)

For all the time Noah built the Ark he was warning the people of the coming flood, and invited them to come into the Ark before the flood comes, however they did not believe him until the DOORS WHERE CLOSED and the FLOOD came... the Bible says;

Genesis 7:16
"A male and female of each kind entered, just as God had commanded Noah. Then the LORD CLOSED THE DOOR behind them." (Emphasis)

Pay close attention here: The Lord Himself SHUT THE DOOR.... The door was opened throughout the period of warning; "Enter the Ark, Enter the Ark" but when the time came, the Lord Himself CLOSED the door of the Ark, meaning Judgement is set for those who refused to enter the Ark..
In the parable of the 10 virgins the foolish virgins had the door closed behind them because they were not ready... the Bible says;

Matthew 25:10
"But while they were on their way to buy the oil, the bridegroom arrived. The virgins who WERE READY WENT in WITH HIM to the wedding banquet. And the DOOR WAS SHUT." (Emphasis)

Beloved, are you ready to enter the Ark or go with Jesus into the banquet or you are not ready?

We are in the time of GRACE; that is an OPEN DOOR...God is calling each and everyone to repent and Accept Jesus (See: Acts 17:30-31)
As it was in the days of Noah so is the second coming of Jesus; Today, God commands all people everywhere to repent.

The door is opened, we are in the period of Grace, Jesus is calling you now to repentance before the door is shut...

~ You who are living in immorality.... the door is opened. REPENT!!

~ You who practice homosexuality... the door is opened. REPENT!!

~ You watching pornography and masturbating... the door is opened. REPENT!!

~ You living a life of greed for money... the door is opened. REPENT!!

~ You worshiping idols or making idols of things... the door is opened.REPENT!!

~ You lying and frauding people... the door is opened. REPENT!!

~ You filled with hatred, anger and envy.... the door is opened. REPENT!!

~ You engrossed in pleasures and materialism... the door is opened. REPENT!!
ETC..

The Holy Spirit says "Today if you hear His voice don't harden your heart"

If you are reading this post right now it means the door is opened for you to come to Jesus... What does it mean when the door is SHUT or CLOSED?

WHEN THE DOOR IS SHUT OR CLOSED
-------------------------------------------------------------
Beloved, in the days of Noah the people who did not repent and believe to enter the Ark faced the wrath of God in the flood, the couldn't enter because the door was closed.
When the door is shut or closed it means Grace period is over and judgement is at hand...

•You may think you are young and want to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin and hence there's more time to repent...BEWARE, the door can be shut behind you any moment;

¶ When death comes unexpectedly-----the door is shut

¶ When Rapture occurs----the door is shut

WHEN DEATH COMES UNEXPECTEDLY
-------------------------------------------------------------
Beloved, there are some who wasted their grace period by refusing to repent of their sins when they had the opportunity, like the people in Noah's days the enjoyed the pleasures of sin until the flood came and swept them away(See:Matt 24:39)..

Don't delay your repentance or coming to Jesus, no one knows the day when death comes unexpectedly to shut the door.. the Bible says;

"Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment" Heb 9:27

Make good use of every opportunity to come to Him, don't delay, don't be selfish.. Jesus gave a story of a rich man who thought he had it all and didn't need God, he said;

Luke 12:19-20a
"And I’ll sit back and say to myself, “My friend, you have enough stored away for years to come. Now take it easy! Eat, drink, and be merry!”’
“But God said to him, ‘You fool! You will die this very night..."

We need to be ready at all times...Watch and Pray, lest the door will be shut at you when you are not ready.

WHEN RAPTURE OCCURS
-----------------------------------------
Beloved, in the parable of the 10 virgins, only those who were ready went in with the bridegroom then the doors were closed (See: Matthew 25:10)

When the rapture occurs or the Saints are caught up to be with the Lord or the bridegroom, then the door is shut... THERE'S NO SECOND CHANCE

Brethren, there's no second chance after rapture because the doors will be closed and the fearful expectation of the wrath of God will be revealed against all unrighteousness.

NOTE: Let no one deceive you into thinking there's second chance after rapture or death, to make you comfortable sinning, When the trumpet sounds time will be no more... the door will be CLOSED; the announcement will be made;

Revelation 22:11-12
"Let the one who is doing harm continue to do harm; let the one who is vile continue to be vile; let the one who is righteous continue to live righteously; let the one who is holy continue to be holy.”
“Look, I am coming soon, bringing My reward with Me to repay all people according to their deeds."

At the second coming of Jesus, the saints will be raptured or caught up and the door of salvation will be closed to those who are not ready and thus the wrath of God will be revealed against the wicked( 1 Thess 4:14-18, 2 Thess 2:8, Romans 2:5-8)

If you are still alive today and Jesus tarries, then know that the door is still opened for you to be saved, are you already in the Ark; are you in Christ? The Bible says;

2 Peter 3:4,9
"They will say, “What happened to the promise that Jesus is coming again? From before the times of our ancestors, everything has remained the same since the world was first created.”
The Lord isn’t really being slow about his promise, as some people think. No, He is being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to be destroyed, but WANTS EVERYONE to REPENT." (Emphasis)

God wants everyone to repent, if you are reading this post then know that God has set an opened door before you, for we are in the period of Grace...

"For God says,
“At just the right time, I heard you. On the day of salvation, I helped you.”Indeed, the “right time” is now. Today is the day of salvation." 2 Corinthians 6:2

"Now" is the time before the doors are shut...

The Holy Spirit says " Today if you hear His voice don't harden your heart" #Repent
JESUS is Coming SOON

Come to Jesus now and you shall find rest for your souls

 

[IoanC]

As an Orthodox Christian, I can tell you that orthodoxy works as the True Church. But it works in a very subtle way. If you join because you think other faiths are wrong, it doesn't work; that's fanaticism.

 

[mikeforjesus]

Thanks for your opinion and kind care but I do not agree it is true and am not sure if it is safe to follow if not true. It is safest to trust Christ as that seems what scripture teaches that we were justified by trusting believing in salvation He gave then He also kept it for us when we remain in Him after one heard the word of truth the gospel of salvation one was sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise which is the guarantee of our inheritance of the purchased possesion that we are kept by the power of God that we are saved in the hearing of the gospel to believe as far as believing we show we accept it to do works we can that He leads that we are His workmanship in Christ that when you accept Christ you are new creation the old has passed and we have to live as though we have been crucified with Christ that having believed if one did because one did it is proved one did by one works one can do.

 

[mikeforjesus]

Actually I believe it is just not to make divisions I agree with you only if it is not to be regarded that one is safest only in Orthodox Church to be saved.

 

[mikeforjesus]

I believe rather I should not make divisions as I trust God as just that I will follow just Christ as all need to be ready before they die that they are repenting and because rapture can happen anytime. I will focus on fellowshipping in any church to help to serve and focus to preach and go to churches that help support commitment to help make one feel stronger with God in one commitment to preach and serve.

 

[mikeforjesus]

I decided I would not support such divisions to trust Christ since all need to be ready to make others ready to be following seriously not to make distractions so they are always ready because there could be rapture any time and to encourage to do good as all need to be serious. Though all can follow that incase if they think they need to but I do not support that I believe Christ wants to trust Him to be united to encourage good that all be ready.

 

[mikeforjesus]

I believe now it is mistake that it is not right to take risk though I was concerned only because others could be offended yet they should trust Christ that there is no harm to receive Christ as Lord and Saviour incase it is necessary that there is no harm that all should receive Christ as Lord and Saviour and leave judgement of other Christian’s to Christ. Perhaps if we pray Christ will reveal that all Christian’s can be saved.

 

[mikeforjesus]

Because others may claim stopping others from going to church to have benefit that they share to me messages from church. I thank them for sharing and tell them I don’t follow church and don’t believe it is right to go unless one goes just to show one is not seeking to stop others from hearing any word of benefit or from having communion as is good to support others to have communion in the church so they don’t seek to isolate and to help all churches to serve God as that is priests job not to force him out of church but should not accept church beliefs it is priest who is responsible to tell truth rather than support the man made church doctrines rather than truth revealed in scripture but honor Christ and leave judgement to Him and lead others incase there is risk that is good to go only for others to know one accepted Christ as Lord and saviour and to preach to others to.

 

[mikeforjesus]

I believe still as God wants to prepare people for later soon coming if there is rapture I should trust in Christ justice not to make divisions. All people anyway not matter what denomination must be serving Christ to be worshipping Him not their man made traditions to love to judge rather than just to follow because they think it could be true but not to judge as though you know without absolute proof to support judgments as though they are right that is wrong that God has not shown for bible says live in peace with all men and holiness without which no one will see the Lord which means to accept Lord to turn from sin when you can.

This is below site which explains the position of why one believes pretribulation rapture and other end time situations even I am not sure from one who believes in church divisions.

I don’t believe it necessary but if others are worried they can trust in Christ I saw small vision of Satan maybe because I was tired who I knew to be full of evil who it seems he controls those who are not sincere and anyone practicing hatred he is working by that to deceive to horribly own and possess to mark them and if they are really against Christ I thought I thought to think by feeling those who are not born again but I think it for those who just practice hatred against believers and anyone doing so who don’t really love Christ.

But I also had dream where I saw many different Christian’s teaching it’s way and having good books to learn that help you along the way to be perfect and other churches with helpful services and seems to test my trust if I should follow church as wanted to but found much more happiness among Protestants encouragement though I thought the church books were great teaching.

Though I don’t think there should be divisions because there is I decided I would follow Catholic Church and pray and seek God to know. For as far as I can not know it is not true I believe it is right to that God is a just judge and can not judge one that does not know. I believe anyone can be saved to turn to God if he knows he won’t be able to get to church by just accepting the church he may not need to seek to follow church unless it is close by but to be sure person is saved if at any time he makes big effort if he thinks it is possible to travel to go to church.

 

[mikeforjesus]

I believe actually it is right to trust only in Christ as He said call no one teacher and it is right according to scripture that God is not worshipped with men’s hands as though needed anything and the bible says the law was written to point us to Christ that all may live by faith. That the object of faith is Christ and not any of our works and we should trust that that that makes one righteous by receiving Him as Lord and saviour putting trust in Him as Saviour to make one new born again by God work to give faith in hearing and asking. I do believe scriptures teach that as sufficient that by grace are ye saved by faith and that not of yourselves but the gift of God. That the salvation is because of the faith alone.

And should trust that also as bible says in Galatians 5:6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but faith working through love and the same would apply to baptism for baptism is the seal just as circumcision was in Old Testament. That to not be circumcised in Old Testament would keep you out of priveleges meaning to be cut off from the people but we’re saved by faith or even if they were to be punished for not doing by faith all had chance to be restored later. That it is right to believe righteousness is of the heart and nothing external that people will be judged by their will towards good or bad.

People say this change must come from Christ you must trust in Him to work it that if you believe in the free gift you are made righteous that you trust He saves you if you truly received Him that works will come out of that if you did.

Because people say it is necessary to do to be saved and to be raptured I think should teach all receive Him as Lord and saviour and leave judgement of other Christian’s to Christ. Perhaps if we pray Christ will reveal that all Christian’s can be saved.

 

[mikeforjesus]

I decided it is only right not to support divisions as all should be ready so that they are always repenting as they must always be ready to not cause distraction incase there is a rapture that I trust Christ He does not support divisions what matters is person seeks to live according to what He says. For I believe divisions are a distraction and we should not seek to be discouraging but exhort for good works that all are repenting. But I will follow church only as it claims to be true that I may see if there is change and to learn to benefit.

 

[mikeforjesus]

I believe Jesus is sufficient and is wrong to make people trust in something one can’t know is true not to get chance so wrong to seek to follow church as bible also says trust in Him with all your heart so you only need Him that He said to call Him teacher which means anyone who teaches only Him should one listen to incase it is true to trust that He does not require to do anything He has not said so I think all should put receive Christ as Lord and put trust in Him as Saviour.

I will only go to church to show it can not prove and that it does not show more to help but others should trust in Christ as saviour to ensure to be saved before they die and to be raptured if there is to leave judgement of other christians to Christ. Perhaps if we pray Christ will show that all Christian’s can be saved for I don’t believe anyway that there is difference for person if they accept church faith that it would not help anyway if they did not prove to show what is required if they don’t show them the way and if they want to convince they should prove the way first but I will seek to.
