Hello.
What amazes me is the number of uber-intelligent people God has put in my path. By human terms they know all that is possible to know, or they are constantly trying to keep up on the new things scientific finds.
But i am simple. I read the bible, and try to do what it says. No, not the Old Testament, that was for people before Jesus came. It is important we read it, to know how Jesus himself lived. Jesus did not start the Roman Catholic church, and in fact i think he abhors it. Nor would he attend many protestant churches either. God hates religion. He hates anything superfluous, stagnant, and unholy. He wants fellowship, devotion and to pour his love back in us in return. Ask Him and see if i am right.
God dwells in what is called unapproachable light, and that is why only the chief priest could enter the Holy of Holies to make the people's sacrifice. They tied a rope to his ankle in case God rejected the offering and struck the priest dead. God takes holiness seriously. He is not man that he can lie. Jesus wanted to show us the Father, and teach us to walk in his ways as Jesus himself did sinlessly.
Man has tried to twist and turn Gods book to make a religion where no one need to go to hell. Sadly, God had already done that at the cross of Jesus. No other way is afforded to mankind but the blood of a spotless Lamb, Jesus. And Jesus went to the cross knowing that however long time lasted, he would be mocked, ridiculed and just plain misunderstood by the "prove it" generation.
If one could come to know the Lord through human senses we would have no need of a Savior. We would be like the serpent promised in the garden of Eden, we would be gods ourselves. But we are not God, we are not even very good people. We want patience now, we want to know now what our lot will specifically be if we follow the Messiah. Aww, but we do not want to follow him to his cross, we do not want a messy religion. We want to dress nice and network and carry heavy bibles and look pious. What we do not want is to actually open the Bible and read it. We have no more idea some of us of Moses, versus Malachi, nor do we care.
By the way, cleanliness is not next to godliness in the bible. It sounds right, but, no, sorry. And saying you are against Abortion is pointless if you do not help women in a lonely frightening pregnancy who maybe was kicked out or walked away from by her baby-daddy. We have a room at our house, and we are prepared to house a girl till her baby is born, but abortion is not the unforgivable sin. Sin is hateful, sinners are not, in fact we are not allowed to hate anyone.
I hate the sin, but not the sinner, as with the gay crisis in America just now, such silliness to kill someone for whom they love. Or any other thing we do not approve of. If God forgives your past, people should dare not even speak of it again. I wish the condemners were forced first to stand in a mirror to show their own past before they attack someone elses. We do, and must leave sin at the cross. Jesus paid too much to make us free. We must not bind one another to sin of unforgiveness either.
God is calling his people to forgiveness. He went first, what will you do?
