One has to have a firm locked down knowledge of what truth is, and that's not going to happen between many people..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your closest friendnt Posted June 15, 2015 Group: Royal Member Followers: 18 Topic Count: 8 Topics Per Day: 0.00 Content Count: 7,853 Content Per Day: 2.42 Reputation: 2,761 Days Won: 3 Joined: 06/05/2015 Status: Offline Share Posted June 15, 2015 It is very important to me, not to quickly express my point of view. Rather subject it to review. Paul said, the gospel you first heard. What was the gospel they first heard? Is it the gospel Paul preach on his return from spenting long time with Jesus? Paul says it is. I would like to know, if you permit it, what gospel Paul heard when he was the enemy of Christ? What gospel Paul preach at first and a litle later? And what gospel Paul preach after the revelation he received from Jesus ? I may gues, if you permit. It is easy: all the time he said, that Jesus is the Christ, that he is the promise Savior and the one who bring us to God. The disagreements starter when the gospel was given to the Gentiles. The understanding that Jesus Christ is for the Jews only, is not truth. It is a heresy, but is not a heresy that denies Jesus as the Christ, the followers still belong to Jesus. The disciples, even Paul at the beginning and for years they preach the gospel to the Jews only. We know the kornilious story, and the pentecost of the Gentiles, before they were baptize in water. To preach someone can not be baptize with the Holly Spirit unless he is water baptize first and make it an absolute requirement is not the truth. Do you like to see something else? Peter did not prayed for them, because he did not beleive that the GENTILES WERE ALSO HEIRS OF THE PROMISH ( may they prayed or desired to have forgiveness of sins also in Jesus, they must know the scriptures that the he is to be the Savior also for them.) is it that Jesus did it on his own to teach something to the proud Jews beleivers. Later the other diciples at first told Peter: you have follow a false spirit and that the Gentiles received a false spirit. Back to the tex. Perhaps beleivers from Paul's old preaching to sircumsition or Peters ....said to Galatians what they beleive to be truth. (with sensirety in their harts, but no wright) that they are not saved unless they be sircumsised ) that's a heresy it judges faith in Christ- senserly confuse, but they still belong to Jesus .

So to the first question. "How important is the gospel truth to you?" Very important. As it should be to ALL who believe and rely on the TRUE word of God and Lord Jesus Christ, in all things and in all ways. "Why will understanding the true gospel produce anger at the false gospels?" I wouldn't say it would produce anger in me knowing the false gospel is a lie, (understanding the difference between the truth and the lie shouldnt produce this reaction in my opinon) but it would definitely, after learning the true gospel, make me much more aware of the deception of the former (false gospel) "What other gospels do you find that are easy for you to believe and why?" None. There's only one gospel, God's. "What are some modern false gospel dangers our church could easily fall for?" I don't know of any modern false gospel. I just read my bible and keep a discerning mind and heart towards anything else. "Read vs 10: When you live to please only God and not people ,how does that change everything?" Living for God IS everything. Its the only reason we LIVE at all really. Everything else is only temporary, God is everlasting. Amen Edited June 16, 2015 by Toni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome to worthy Toni, Philippians 1:18 But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice. Yes, and I will continue to rejoice, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James never did that. You mis-understand. Correct. It was the Judaizers throughout the Roman Empire who were insisting that observing the Law of Moses was necessary for salvation (along with faith in Christ). What James and the other apostles did was to seek the mind of God in this matter. Therefore God the Holy Spirit directed them to give Gentiles just four commandments (which mostly go back to the time of Noah) as noted in Acts 15: 1. Eat no meats offered to idols. 2. Eat no meats of strangulated animals. 3. Do not consume the blood of animals. 4. Do not practice fornication. Since this thread is about the importance of Truth, this truth must be recognized by Christians today. To label this as "cherry-picking" is to ignore the fact the God gave these commands through the apostles. May I join this discussion? This thread caught my eye because truth matters a great deal to me. This post caught my eye because it portrays a very common misconception I think many believers have about apostolic teachings and commands. If these are indeed commands given to all believers everywhere for all time, then we would have scripture contradicting scripture, for Paul tells us that believers were free to eat any meat sold in the market place, and not to ask questions when purchasing meat. At that time most meats sold in the market were offered to idols, they may have been strangulated, and not bled out properly. Paul did not tell believers to avoid these foods. He told them that in the liberty they had in Christ, all things were lawful, including eating meats that James lays an injunction against in the council of Jerusalem. If James intended for that injunction to be permanent for all time, then Paul's words, which are divine, inspired scripture, are false. But if James' injunction was for a specific time and place and circumstance, and was intended not to extend beyond this period of time, then his words exist in harmony with Paul's. For Paul also warned that we were not to use our liberty in Christ to cause offense to our brethren, and if our brethren would be offended by such actions, then we are not to engage in such behavior- otherwise we become a stumbling block and a hindrance, and may embolden our brethren to an action they believe to be sinful, and thus, acting contrary to their conscience, commit sin. These injunctions given at the Council of Jerusalem, were for a limited time and purpose - to be obedient to God by not using their liberty to create stumbling blocks among the Jews, both Jewish believers and non-believers, and thus be a potential source or cause of spiritual harm to others. When the need for this caution was passed, the injunction ended as well, which is why we are not beholden to it today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
