Sort of sad...

[Brad Huber]

Sad how the faith that drove the early church, the faith that Jesus taught His disciples is lost to so many today, even most of the people on this website. People like to use logic and opinion based on what they have read in scripture or what others have taught them scripture teaches. While this is not a terrible thing, because the Word of God is indeed powerful, able to pierce the hardest heart..... we are to live by faith. Do any of you understand what that means? Look it up in a dictionary, find out what it meant to first century christians. The fact is, people can read the same scripture and find different meanings from it, people want evidence to prove their faith. That is not faith. I have spoken to God, He has spoken to me, that.... that is faith. I trust God's spiritual speaking to me more than any teaching about the bible. Just to be clear, the deceiver likes to pretend to be an angel of light, and so scripture is critically important as a "backboard" to reflect any spiritual message given to you, but far too many people have given up on accepting any spiritual message other than what is conveyed in scripture. There is, as said in scripture, that there is not enough books available to print all the words of God. He gave us what was most important and wanted a personal relationship with each one of us, and wanted us to seek Him and His will in FAITH. And most of you cannot even comprehend seeking God's will outside of what has already been spoken of in scripture. This is NOT a put down of Holy Scripture, this is a declaration of a great great lack of faith in the people who call God their own.

That is why He preaches unbridled love and acceptance for all, even those who cannot be accepted into His Kingdom (gays/sinners, j*ws etsettera) so the True Disciples Of His Kingdom will be in His Kingdom on Hi

Well, if you use scripture, it clearly teaches that some of the things you mentioned are NOT acceptable in the kingdom of God. As I said, some spiritual messages we receive are from an evil spirit pretending to be a ministering angel of God. All spiritual messages must be compared to scripture to see if it backs it up or not.

Do you have examples?

May Jesus fill us with his love and wisdom.

In the Book of Romans. Paul tells us that the sin of homosexuality is not acceptable by God. But he does tell us that pagans or non-christians who follow the laws of God from their heart are acceptable by God.

Homosexual people do not follow the laws of God they do not even try to, they're so caught up in that lifestyle that they flaunt their noses at God. It is the perfect possession, because perfect possession is people who want to stay the way they are. Where is typical possession is people who know that they are possessed and hate it.

Ubridled love is indeed good and Godly. Scripture is clear on this, but acceptance is totally different, if you accept the lifestyles of gays,sinners,etc. who, as you said, cannot be accepted into His Kingdom, then you will essentially be making them think their lifestyle is okay. And if you love someone, you should want to warn them of the danger. Thats not to say that it might be said in such a way to make their separation from God even greater, it should be said out of love, not hatred or acting superior.

this is a good topic, I know i hear from God in my spirit, conviction, peace, truth. I do not hear audible voice; I say this because I think when someone hears a person say they hear from God they automatically think that person hears a audible voice.

God has a way to confirm that what I feel in the spirit is from him, and it is always absolutely amazing to see a confirmation.

got to get to work, but i will hopefully expand on this post soon

I don't think I would use the term unbridled love. There is a difference between unbridled love and true love of God.

Unbridled love, depending on how you want to look at it can be thought of things that are lustful versus true love. But true love that comes to deep from the heart, brings and aching or a yearning to be with God. God's love flows through the person and to everyone that they meet God's love is reached out from them.

God's mercy a great part of that love that reaches out to others in forgiveness and passion. We see it through the passion of Jesus on his way to the cross. It's what Jesus did for us, dying on the cross.

And it is through His resurrection, that we are saved. But we also have to accept Jesus into our hearts. Not just in mind, but deep in her heart.
