CAN TWO WALK TOGETHER UNLESS THEY ARE AGREED? Amos 3:6
Baha’i believe that people are basically good. It is difficult to discern how they come to that conclusion With all the violence on the planet worldwide. Is everyone just having a bad day? It is the Baha’i that is out of touch. Mankind is desperately wicked and very much in need of a Savior.
Bahais see Jesus as only a prophet. Like the Jews they do not see Him as the Son of God. And like the Roman Catholics, they see the unity of all religions. The body of Christ has only one way to the father and that is Jesus Christ according to John 14:6.Then there’s old boogey man again, extra biblical revelation.
Adding onto scripture again is becoming a national pass time. Stay away from Baha’i. If you desire peace, why not the prince of peace, Jesus Christ?
Christadelphins say they are separate from the rest of Christianity yet one of their congregation call themselves a denomination which they are. They take a name for themselves much like the Baptist or the Presbyterians do. My church labels itself a Bible Church. Our church doesn’t need any brand names. Christadelphian is a brand name like it or not as that is how they identify themselves. Like most denominational churches they do not understand the Triune Godhead. It is not three gods whatsoever as that is what the word Trinity implies. They outright deny the Holy Spirit existence and that is blasphemy. The word Triune means three in one. That is why Jesus said in John 10:30, I and the father are one. 1st John 5:7 says, there are three that bear witness in heaven, the father, the word, and the Holy Spirit and these three are one. Where did I mention three persons? The Father and Jesus are one as is the Holy Spirit.
Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. (Philippians 2:5-8)
The scripture itself says here that equality with God is a thing hard to grasp. The human mind has a difficult time grasping hold of kenosis. It’s like trying to get hold of God as he is Spirit as is the Holy Spirit. Yet in Acts 13, the Holy Spirit speaks as foes God as did Jesus when he divested himself of his divine nature. Christadelphians cannot grasp kenosis and they are in good company because most Christians can’t either. Again faith is the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11 says of Moses, by faith he saw him who is invisible. Try grasping that with your human brain? Comments are welcome on this subject.
Simon the sorcerer tried to buy the gift of the Holy Spirit and was rebuked for that by Peter. So why do the Catholics and their supposedly first pope think they can through indulgences now? This is where purgatory has value to the Roman Catholics.
How about a simple equation again for Roman Catholics? There is therefore NO COMMENDATION TO THOSE WHO WALK IN CHRIST JESUS ACCORDING TO THE SPIRIT. BYE, BYE INDULGENCES. A free gift from Godthat Catholics reject because they feel they have to work there way into heaven. James, though, was written to the 12 tribes of Israel and not to the body of Christ. Read James 1:1. Why would God contradict His word? He didn’t as these two texts are written to two different audiences.
Catholics don’t understand simple math. It is faith plus Nothing. I will be doing a full study of this faith and works issue soon.
I have a video today on the kenosis. I hope those of the Christadelphian persuasion will unclog their ears and listen to truth. the kenosis If you abide in my word you are my disciples indeed and you shall know the truth and the truth will make you free from John 8:31-32.
Mike Peters has a website called All at His Feet. The Indianapolis Church is a home wrecker as to his counseling style. He rarely sides with the husband and urges separation often. There is a website on Peters on the Internet but it hasn’t been updated since 2013.
Couples would discuss how Peters counseled and the majority of women seemed afraid of him. I’m not sure what counseling training Peters has had if any. He also likes to isolate those who seek him out as to immediate family and friends. Surprisingly he wants his Clients to have a reliance on him and not on God.
I would urge people with marital problems to seek the wisdom to heal first from your pastor. Biblical counseling is a wise option.
At his church Peters sermons are biblical. He doesn’t like to be questioned.
Philippians 2:6-7 (NIV) 6 Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,
I believe that the Christadelphian faith has never even tried to consider that the Lord’s equality with God is something hard to grasp. It is called the kenosis. What actually is the kenosis? It is the Divine emptying of Christ’s divinity. This is what Christadelphians cannot grasp. They aren’t the only ones as it is something difficult to comprehend. I take it completely 100% on faith. Faith is the evidence of things Not Seen according to Hebrews 11:1. The Triune godhead is also difficult to grasp for Mortal man. Again I take this on faith and faith alone. In eternity we will all understand the Godhead. There are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. All new versions, following the corrupt Greek Orthodox church, omit the Trinity, shown in 1 John 5:7. But God proves it. I will have more in part 2.
