Christian identity has been lost in many of the realms of Christianity. One of the biggest being 'the virgin birth.' We are in the season of celebration of our saviors birth. Thank God for all the celebration and festive traditions we keep to celebrate the virgin birth of our savior. We can say what we will (I do at times - trying not to label) about certain groups I'll call them. But the virgin birth is as big in scripture as any because we see Jesus taking on his humanity. Where God became man! 100% God, as well as 100% man. God/with us!
So any certain group that can have the virgin birth, even if they have alot of extras added to what they say, and do - should be recognized. Why would we do such a thing? because it keeps the side of God - and humanity in contact. And because the virgin birth is slowly being lost to religion. Without the virgin birth - you just have a God that is not angry with how the world is going and he will deal with it. And that is their message! No hope, like the cross never existed. That is the Old Testament veiw of creator God; but with the virgin birth we see the fatherhood of God. Two extremes coming from the same person. And he is still creator God, but nolonger has to act only in that capacity.
So what happens when believers read scripture from the angry Old Testament God point of view. They cannot understand scripture as it is intended to be understood. If they are not read and put together as they should. Righly divided..the virgin birth..and so many aspects of the written word of God..not properly put together - men come up with another religion, and another philosophy on how it all should work. The thing about man;
God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged. - Romans 3:4.
Every man a lier, let God is true. What does that mean..does it mean we are all going around lieing..no but it means we are easily deceived by the knowledge we have, and will exact that knowledge. That deceiving mind of 'the knowledge of good and evil.' Working scripture with a mind that is deceptive.
The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? - Jeremiah 17:9.
Look at the heart, the heart of humanity - at least the heart they were born with. Now at the moment you were saved there was no miracle for your heart..that heart has to change. The heart of man has to change and the world and the religious world is a reminder to believers. You have to change what you came into this world with. When you look at the world, if you are no different in mind you will have to judge that - if mind change does not come. For believers, they should keep in mind scripture memory is good but scripture memory is not mind renewal. Anyone can quote scripture. You hear it everyday - determined in themselves to prove the scriptures in their religion. It has been an on going battle since time began.
