If somebody trashed my husband, how would he feel if I just stood there, or if I made friends with the trash-mouth? I'm guessing that's how God feels when one of his alleged children stands idly by while others badmouth Him. So anybody who <b>doesn't</b> feel like punching someone like that is basically a traitor.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6544357985732366608.post-81545053928562278902009-11-20T21:26:38.875-06:002009-11-20T21:26:38.875-06:00Paula,

But no matter how many times we try to tell people that both truth and spirit are needed to balance each other, people only want one side. <br /><br />And for the life of me I can't understand how failing to tell people what happens if they <b>don't</b> reconcile with God through Jesus is "loving".

There seems to be a lot of false teaching...Hi Joe,<br /><br />There seems to be a lot of false teaching about the Attributes of God. I consider it false teaching when it leaves out any attribute in favor of another.<br /><br />One of the attributes that is often left out is the Wrath of God. Another is His perfect JUSTICE. We see it played down that Jesus said He did not come to bring peace but a sword. <br /><br />So we are left with a certain faction of 'Christendom' who do not believe in or understand the Wrath of God. He is an consuming fire!<br /><br />On the other hand, we have another faction that rarely discusses the Mercy of God. They like the Wrath of God because they do not think it pertains to them.<br /><br />That is what I meant when we talked about this before. the Christian life is walking a razors edge. Unbalanced it becomes either license or legalism. that is what I think John is talking about in 1 John about walking in the light. We know we all sin but we are also told that sin is lawlessness and that without Holiness we will not see God.<br /><br />Salvation is free but it is not an easy road. (Matthew 7) <br /><br />So many want to make it easy by dumbing down sin. Others want control and be the pope, erasing the Holy Priesthood from the Word. <br /><br />The only answer is that we become Bereans and beg the Holy Spirit to teach us and interpret the Word for us.<br /><br />It is completely ignoring the text from Gen to Rev to say that homosexuality is not a grievous sin. <br /><br />Now, does that mean we will not support and love our brothers and sisters struggling to break free? Of course not. It just means we love them too much to tell them it is not sin.Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17367390474045060624noreply@blogger.com
