Spoon Fed Christians!
Spoon Fed Christians!
If you was to go into battle with a sword would you let someone else swing it for you?
Of course not the enemy would kill you were you stood!Thats the same with the Bible.Would you just listen to the word coming from the pulpit?Or would you read it for your self!
Timothy 2:15 Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth
Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Peter 2:1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
A spoon fed christian is like a baby beeing fed Gerber baby food,it's no wonder that so many of us christians are in babylon.
Then the opinion of the word is set out in the churches.
Romans 2:20 An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law.
Listening to just a Pastor that may be speaking not according to the word on a pulpit and not studing the word for yourselvels is like a sheep listning to a wolf instead of the sheapard.
Matthew 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
Put all prophets to the test how can you you test them?
Isaiah 8:20 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them
If the Bible does not say it don't spray it.
Acts 20:29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
Luke 10:3 Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves
What gets me is when I talk about I a certian subject in the Bible and prove the subject by the Bible,Then all of the sudden the person who said they don't argree tells me they don't want to argue.Well your not argueing with me.If I'm useing the very word of God then who are you argueing with?
Isaiah 1:18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
1 Corinthians 3:1 And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ
1 Peter 2:2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:
Let us stop being babies and all grow in the word
And that word is of God!
If you was to go into battle with a sword would you let someone else swing it for you?

C.U.L.T.Pointing
NOTE SERMON ABOUT CULT POINTING
Mark 9:38 And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us. 39 But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me. 40 For he that is not against us is on our part. 41 For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward.
If your Christian you want to follow Jesus Christ and you would be correct in doing so.
Jesus Teaches that we should share the good news the gospel to everyone.
But it seems as though there is not enough of the good news being spread.
There are a lot of Christian denominations and churches everyone belive to be the right church.
The Catholic Church belived that anyone that was different with there belief was considered a heretic.
In fact a war was raged in those days against the opposition through what is called the inquisition.
A lot of protestants and others lost there lives in what history would call the dark ages.
Because indeed it was very dark.No one was spreading the gospel they was spreading persecution against the gospel.
Anyone who let Jesus and the Bible dictate there lives rather than the Church was killed.
Now this is not an attack on Catholics by all means I love Catholics I have catholic friends.This is stating history of what can happen when there are prejudices. It can get in the way and some may think to kill someone else that differ thinking they are doing the will of God.
Now can history repeat itself?
Well yes it can and it will it is in the very word of God.
Now before I go any further I want to confess that I have been guilty of calling others a cult.
It was alright for me to call another church a cult but it was wrong for any other church to call my Seventh Day Adventist church a cult.
Yeah the ones who keep the Sabbath what are they Jews?
How come they keep the Sabbath they must be legalist.
They teach works when they teach the Sabbath.
Well of course we don't teach works but rest from work!
But back to what I was saying.
Should I call Sunday keepers a cult?
No I SHOULD NOT!
Neither should Sabbath keepers be called a cult.
I can't count how many times I've been called a cult or a legalist or got confused for Jewish.
Especially that I don't eat pork oh man what's going on SDA must not be Christian.
Each church teaches something different each one believes they go by the very word of God.
Each one believes to have the truth which they do if they have Jesus.
So why are we so divided should not the body be together.Yes we should be one body.
But the difference in how we interpret the Bible has separated us.
Back before the Catholic church you had Christians who followed the Bible and Jesus.
The Catholic Church tought scripture but it is only tought to people by the priest.
Martin Luther nailed the Theses in 1517 on the doors of the church hoping to lead them back to the Bible.
Luther strongly disputed their claim that freedom from God's punishment of sin could be purchased with money.
But that did not happen and the reformation was born.The move to get back to the roots of Jesus and the Bible had Begun.
Luther taught that salvation is a free gift of God and received only by grace through faith in Jesus as redeemer from sin, not from good works.
Now before I go any further I want to add that I'm not saying that Catholics don't love Jesus or the Bible.
There are a lot of Catholics that do love Jesus and they love his word.
After all Martin Luther was a Catholic and he yearned to see it come to the Bible and what it teaches.
With the reformation came a lot of different churches each with what they belive to be the truth.
John Calvin taught once saved always saved.
The Anabaptist taught the true meaning of baptism by IMMERSION.
With each church had a founder or founders based on the truth of Jesus and His word.
As they started they were persecuted burned at the stake as heretics.
All because of the difference of belief.
Now I'm not going to touch on other religions I'm basically going to talk about Christianity.
Each Church has something similar which is Jesus and some things that are different.
Church of Christ believe that if your not Church of Christ your going to hell.
That would make it seem that if you go to other churches you would be going to hell.
Cult pointing is getting very big among Christians today books have been and still being written on the subject of cults.
One for instance The Kingdom of the Cults by Walter Martin.In it he touches on the different beliefs including other Christianity.
He even touches on Seventh Day Adventist. Which none of it I can agree with. But it leaves the reader who does not know to be led to think that not only Seventh Day Adventist are a cult but any thing that is different from Walter's beliefs are a cult.
Books upon books have been published touching on different beliefs. Each always cult pointing.
I have even came across web sites that take the time to attack other denominations including SDA.
One site the guy calling himself the fifth or 5th stating in his videos that SDA are a cult that we teach that Jesus was a created being when we refer to Michael the Archangel as Jesus.One reason for this statement is because of what Jehovah Wittness say about Jesus and Michael the Archangel.
The two views are totally different.SDA does not state that Jesus was a created being at all We believe that He is God.The word made flesh,The Creator!
John 1:1-5 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
The 5th really doesn't know what he is talking about.In my opinion is that he is causing controversy for a hidden cause.
A lot of people like the 5th are on the world wide web spreading world wide lies and hate yes hate.
Because it is prejudice when we go around calling each other cult.
Hate speech hidden by the mask of Christianity.
People are spending to much time on exposing other beliefs than spreading the gospel.
Has Satan won yet again divide and conquer is always the tactic.
Just Like Jesus said here:
Matthew 12:25
And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:
We must stand on truth we must stand on the solid rock!
Matthew 7:26-28
And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: 27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
Yes there are a lot of untruth being taught each one thinking the other is in untruth.
How do we know if we have the truth?
2 Timothy 3:16
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
Should my church membership determine my salvation?
John 14:6
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
No Jesus is the only way nobody in a church can save you no man who calls himself holy no one but Jesus!
Jesus died for our sins no man has that right.
So my appeal to everyone is that I'm not saying everyone is right or anyone is wrong.
We may not agree on everything.
Isaiah 1:18
Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
But let us be careful cult pointing.
Really if you look at it it's like were calling each other heretics.
It's wrong very wrong.
Isaiah 5:20
Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
Those ideals with political power can become dangerous.
Point:Would it be right to force our beliefs on others?
No it's not!our country was founded on freedom of religion.
Would it be right to pass a law governing all to observe Sabbath Saturday the seventh day or be jailed or killed.?
Would it be right to pass a law to force others to observe Sunday or be jailed or killed?
Well hopefully you said no because it is not right.Also the United States is founded to be separation of church and state.
That the church keeps it hands off the government and the government keeps it's hands off the church.
Hmm I wonder why they made that the First Amendment to the United States Constitution
It may be because they knew it would bring the horrors of the past the persecution of others that simply did not believe the way others do.
Cult pointing is just like this it is persecution.
Take Saul before he was Paul he killed Christians he was a Pharisee.
He thought he was doing the will of God but Jesus told him:
Acts 9:1-5
And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest, 2 And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem. 3 And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven: 4 And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? 5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
So you see you we may not agree with the Catholics,the Baptist,the Mormons,Jehovah Witness,Seventh Day Adventist,Methodist,Lutherans etc.
But we have not the right to throw such labels like cults,or heretics on them.
Or viceversa!
Acts 17:30
And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:
God is the Judge in the end.
We can share our beliefs with love and understanding.
I hope who ever is reading this would consider these things. I come to you not as a Seventh Day Adventist but as a Christian a follower of Jesus.
Remember if you choose to say I'm part of a cult just know this. I am a C.ristian U.nder the L.ord Jesus's T.eachings.
Not any one else.
Let us all learn to love one another!
1 John 4:7
Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
Let us stop pointing at one another and let us point to Jesus!
Amen!
God Bless!
Mark 9:38 And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us. 39 But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me. 40 For he that is not against us is on our part. 41 For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward.
If your Christian you want to follow Jesus Christ and you would be correct in doing so.
