Why do you say "Messias" rather than "Messiah"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I believe you are taking it to the extreme. Yes, I'm sure there are people who go to church every Sunday for the social ramifications, maybe even sing a hymn or two, and think that's enough. But, for the most part, you are preaching to the choir here. I've found most of the members here to be sincerely seeking Truth and a relationship with Jesus. I would be the first to admit that I am a sinner. I sin every day. And every night I go to my knees and ask forgiveness from my Father. My Father. Not some stranger. I know my Father in the deepest part of my being. And He knows me. This is not a game to most that discuss on these boards. But when you insinuate that you alone have the keys to the kingdom, you get the kind of response you have received. Jump down off your high horse and join the rest of us as we struggle thru the beautiful, wonderful mysteries of a magnificent God who is Father. We'd love to have you in the family. Peace, Fiosh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MindonFire Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 Fiosh you state But when you insinuate that you alone have the keys to the kingdom, you get the kind of response you have received. I've never said that i have the keys to the kingdom. I can only deliver the message that I am giving. My message is to warn you all that our doctrines are off. If nobody likes me because of this that is fine by me. God is sufficient for me.

No offence, but you really do come off as holier-than-thou. While I doubt that this is your intent, you may do well to reconsider your approach here on Worthy.
