Trivia question time .
How did they react when they saw sin and error within their churches .
Remember paul had given them warning so as they would repent before He came and had to bring
the ROD .
Now imagine if paul had the technology , WE Do today , and could see
all of what was going on in forums . OH i bet he would be warning double time
Even making me look like a powder fluff .
Cause believe you me , i see sin and error all over the place and worse
I dont see folks co rrecting it . IN fact i see the most deadliest thing of all
being allowed to remain . False gospels , justificiation of sins even .
You can bet all you own if paul was here today .............
lets just say YALL would be running for me to save you FROM HIM . You think i warn
and am grave . PLease i fall far short . You s hould have seen JESUS in action
and the apostels in action . Read acts . You see .
I do a gree , its not all about jus warning . but friend , when you see sin
You gotta warn somebody . In fact if i had more help here
And all were more serious about sin and error , we had also had more time to
focus on praises and encourag ments too .
ALso we live in a day and an age wherein this mystery of inquity , OH its blossomed .
But the problem is when anyone tries to correct it , they get seen as nohtin g but a hater
And the ones pumping even false gospels , allowed to remain . OF course its not our site
SO we cannot remove them . But we sure can join together and warn against such doctrine .
So have y0uo been appointed by God to go and root out all teh sin in these churches? Or are you busy just complaining about it here?
Yes in the churches of god there is lots of sin, because the churches are filled with people. But it is up to the local pastors ad elders to deal with the congregations they are appointed shepherds over. Not a forum where we can complain about how imperfect churches are.
Personally I tire of people going on you tube, other social medias and even forums talking all about how evil the people of God and the phony people of God are. I remember this parable:
24 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:
25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?
28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?
29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
Unless we have an appointed responsibility to poinjt out tares among the wheat, let us go forth sowing precious seed and let the appointed shepherds care for the flock.
We can talk about bad doctrine and even those who promote it, but we must tread this ground with care.
