So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase. 1 Corinthians 3:7 (KJB)
14Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
15And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
16And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
17Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.
18And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
2 Corinthians 6:14-18 (King James Bible)
I've thought about asking people during conversation, "So, what kind of Christian are you exactly?" Since, the word 'Christian' can mean almost anything in the age in which we live. At least Catholics (it seems)don't call themselves Christian. One knows where one stands with them.
ReplyDeleteAh, dear sister Wendi, let me enlighten you in that respect: just read my post "Answering Neve, a Roman Catholic who resents my well-chosen blog name: True Christianity vs Roman Catholicism".
DeleteCatholics will state they are Catholic in their banners, etc., NEVER alluding to being Christian, UNTIL, it is convenient for them. Try telling a Catholic they are not Christian!
They worship the "other Jesus" of whom Paul warned us, but they are ignorant about it!
I was in that cult for 52 years without EVER reading the Bible. It wasn't until I read the New Testament straight through, and not the selected verses read in Mass, which are invariably taken out of context, that I realized there is not the slightest glimmer of the Catholic Church ANYWHERE in the New Testament, except, of course, in Revelation!
I pray you have a great Sunday!
Dear sister, Helga.
ReplyDeleteYour reply is interesting to be sure, coming from such a background! I only meant at least when you ask someone what 'faith' they are you know they are Catholic, Mormon, etc. because they say as such. I've never been met with, "I'm a Christian," from any of those denominations. But, yes, you are correct, if you tell them they aren't Christian the hostility and defensiveness comes rushing forward!
I actually drive by a Catholic church once in a while which has a statue of Mary incased on their placard and it says "Traditional Latin Mass". Who knows Latin?? WOW!
I think your blog name is fitting and we know people are coming here because you have hit a raw nerve. It was the same with me and Mormonism. I was not very happy when someone told me I wasn't Christian and I was in a cult! Thanks be to our gracious God, Christ Jesus saved me!
Just finished live-streaming Pastor Bruscha's continuation of Jonah.
Blessings,

Yes, I watched it also! I loved that he addressed the "Live Streaming audience," especially because I asked Mr. Pete Boucher, who cares for the site, to relay to him my condolences regarding Pastor Tom's son-in-law, Bill.
DeleteAnd to answer something you had said before, yes, Bill, was saved, although it doesn't seem his previous church's pastor (before he married Pastor Tom's daughter) understood exactly what salvation was. Its pastor was at the funeral services, and opened his mouth to say the wrong thing, annoying Pastor Tom immensely, stating to the effect that he was saved because he had baptized him, nothing about Jesus and the price He paid! How sad!
Someone is coming to see the apartment at 2:30pm, so I need to get going! Today is garbage day, and since I was feeling so ill with my toothache last Sunday, I did not get to put it out, so now I have 2 weeks' worth!
I am so glad you are listening to the Live Stream. This pastor so awesomely scriptural! When he is through with Jonah, I will gather them into one post. I love it that he is so very detailed about everything! A really gifted teacher!
By the way, I don't think you understood me when I said any link will work on the channel feed, itself. I just posted the Jonah link on my channel feed for you to see. Try it!
Have a great week!
Love in Christ,
Helga
Ha! Look at this: I just got something from Will Kinney on Jonah in the belly of the whale! I will post it, also!
DeleteSister, Helga.
ReplyDeleteI just saw how you did that! I pinned it to the very right of my page as "Jonah". But, now that I see there is more than one message I will need to post as you did.
Sounds like you are feeling better with the tooth! All praise to the Lord!
Love in Christ,
wendi
