WHEN HIS DISCIPLES HEARD IT THEY WERE
EXCEEDINGLY AMAZED, SO THEY ASKED JESUS THE CHRIST...."WHO THEN
CAN BE SAVED?".......MATTHEW 19:25. |
THE
COMMUNITY IS NOT 'THE CHURCH'
(neither are we of 'the church' if we do not His Word) |
I find that it would be timely and appropriate for us to place a 'selah' on
this very question, given the slack-jawed response usually received when a
preacher asks church goers and the community what.....Romans 11:22, John
15:2, Hebrews 3:12-15 and Hebrews 5:9 mean.....click.
A Uniting Church sign read "the church is not a building the community
is" this is surely another sign of our times/21st century. We can expect
this type of message and worse as the days slip away. Always remembering
that time never runs out but each of us run out of time....click.
The key to salvation is that "We be with God" for when we are with
God/Jesus we no doubt have his support/grace, love, joy, peace and
forgiveness for all sins repented of. He gives grace/power to those who
humble themselves before him and his doctrine and gives us wisdom to see the
futility of this temporary world we live in. The richest man that ever lived
and ever will live said that 'all' is vanity unless we are with
him/Jesus - God......click.

Bible refs: Matthew 19:23-30, 1 Peter 5:5, John 14:23, Ecclesiastes 1:2,
as we read these
profound oracles let us always keep in our heart of hearts that 'all'
scripture is inspired by the God of love and judgement....Jesus the
Christ.
The problem with the Uniting Church sign/gesture is only that it is completely
wrong, misleading and deceiving,. A sign that most probably would be
considered as 'love' in today's communities, maybe a lever for unity
of some kind.....click.
Kind of a bringing the peoples together in unity whilst still staying within
the boundaries of bible pages (keeping scripture paramount some say)....click.
Is it any wonder Jesus said that many would come and say "Gidday
Lord"...lord remember me?...Jesus replying "Yes but No"...Yes, I do remember
your comfy, compromising, lukewarm, ecumenical-wide road teachings and
preaching but I say I acknowledge you not as one of mine/of my church, body,
bride....click.
FOR THEY ARE MY MOTHER, SISTER AND BROTHER WHO LISTEN TO WHAT I SAY, TEACH
AND PREACH IT THEN GO AWAY AND DO IT.....REF: LUKE 8:21...SELAH.
Dear reader, the Church of the Lord Jesus the Christ-God Almighty is not the
community at large, neither is it a building, neither is it the Roman
Catholic System. The Church, the body the bride of the Christ is comprised
of individuals
of peoples, tribes, nations, colours and genders taken 'out of' all
communities worldwide. Those who have surrendered their lives to Him/Jesus
the Christ and no other God do they worship, promote, accept or
follow....who then can be saved?...read this verse/John 14:23 and ask
Yahweh/God what it means.....be honest now.
●
Suggested readings are, Revelation 5:9, 10, 1 Timothy 1:8-11, 4:16. It is
these very readings that emphasize forever that few find the narrow
gate.....click.
Come join the True Church today, (the one made without human hands
and sinful worldly community values) repent of your sins be water
baptised (fully submerged) into the Christ Jesus and do what he says up to the light/knowledge
you have and you will be saved from the wrath of God that's coming and hell
fire eternal....Amen
