Do You Trust God To Be God

I'd be interested in what anyone has to say.

The first time I logged on tonight, I was looking at a particular blog. I didn't write anything, but I was a little shocked. The blog was posted by a new believer, but she didn't shock me. I've heard the same questions asked before by new converts. What shocked me was some of the responses.

First I want to say this. When you join a church, or give your life to Christ, you come under Christ's authority and the authority of the church in question. Christ's authority takes precedence. Your leaders must abide by the Word of God. Trust me when I say if everything about the Bible is murky, the only thing that wouldn't be is the responsibilities of the leaders. You can point them out to your leader if you feel they are doing something wrong. If they cannot get in line with the Word of God, then you save your own soul and leave.

The Bible does not play about the purpose it sets out to accomplish. The writer of Hebrews was not afraid to say "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." (Hebrews 4:12). It goes where you don't want it to go. It puts your business out there. Now if you have decided that you want to go to heaven Christ's way, then you gotta do what you gotta do.
The Bible says no fornication. Cut it out! The Bible acts you to trust in God...start trusting in Him. Its not going to be easy, but you gotta try and fall and learn and grow.
Now, it might be hard for you to drop a relationship, or to stop fornicating in your relationship. However, you came to be blest.You know how to get blessed? Worship. How does one worship? Not by sending up empty praises. An important part of worship is obedience! You be obedient and start tossing the skeletons out so you can get good and ready to receive.You need to empty the container that you're expecting to receive the blessing in."Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain righteousness upon you"(Hosea 10:12).
So if you go to church and the Pastor preaches about fornication and it reaches your heart, do accordingly and stop complaining about being judged or you aren't going to grow. "Do not be deceived, God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will reap."(Galatians 6:7). Whatever you are putting into your life, that's what you are going to get out of it. So you sourpusses and sad sacks...suck it up and start sowing happiness. The word of God searches us and touches the stuff we'd rather it not reach. That's what you get for walking into the House of God. I'd be thankful for it.Because it means that God is trying to get me to clean up and not be weighed down and left behind."For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?"(1 Peter 4:17).
I know that you might be scared, I know. My mother is the bravest woman I know, because she was raising three girls alone when she gave her life to God. If she even thought about depending on a relationship to bring her through, God showed her that person's feet of clay. She depended on him, she's not a millionaire, but she's a homeowner,with her car paid off and a secure job. She's blessed, because she didn't start off with all that.
This is where I'm questioning your trust. If God is all-powerful, all magnificent, all glorious, able to add all things to you, what are you scared of? Its tough, but Jesus never promised anybody easy. I've never seen anyone just pick up a big old cross and walk steady. Uh Uh, but Jesus says pick up your cross and follow me.Every trial we overcome is a jewel in our crown. We gotta suffer with him to reign with him. Its the best suffering though, because you're not alone going through it.

Now a church that judges its members needs a good beating. How are you helping save that soul?"Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful.I care very little if I am judged by you or by any human court; indeed, I do not even judge myself. My conscience is clear, but that does not make me innocent. It is the Lord who judges me.Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait till the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of men's hearts. At that time each will receive his praise from God."(1 Corinthians 4:2-5) The Leader should not be coming down on you but giving you an arm to help you to stand.They have been given a trust-you. They should not see a mother struggling with her kids and just letting it slide. I can't find the verse right now...but God through Paul tells us to put up or shut up. Stop saying "Oh the Lord will bless you," and not helping. God could use you to be the blessing! You know what the tithe and offerings are for? For the minister? Hahaha! Its so that there is meat in God's storehouse..meaning, a member needs some money to make rent, the church should give it to her! A brother needs food? The church should give him some groceries. That's what that money is for.Hence, when the church operates as the HOUSE OF GOD, like it ought, a new believer shouldn't be stressed out.

Now that that is said...the real shocking thing that I refered to above, is from a comment where the person was like, just come on over to my church and we'll hook you up. And also managed to dig all the Protestant churches. What I garnered is that basically, its okay for her to take her and her babies to hell, because there is no purgatory,so that you can be right? What if the church that you send her to is no better than the first then what? I've sat in Catholic churches for 15 years, and never once have I heard that fornication is right. So you telling her she won't be judged for it is bunk, because the first time she goes to Confession, she'll come out feeling guilty.
I'm Apostolic, and you know what my Pastor said that shocked me to the core? That the Apostolic Church isn't the only church that saves people. I'd been so into the denomination war, I just thought everyone was. Then I learned that people will come from the east and the west to the marriage supper, just as long as they live right. No one has an exclusive claim on the gospel, because it can't be chained.
Wanna see something?

Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

1 Corinthians 3:5-11

You don't need to hammer down another church. Its not necessary. Even if the person were excommunicated tomorrow by the Pope himself, that has no bearings on whether or not they will make it to heaven, cause Jesus himself is the holder of those keys.
You need to trust the message of God and the power of God to hold that person. You can feed them the food of the gospel and water it with a godly example and charity. Just trust the power of God to make it grow.

Mother Church and Her Run Away Child Part 1

I was christened Catholic..I'm not going to say that I was baptized Catholic..that's dumb..which was the last baby to look at you and tell you they want to be saved? Yeah..I was confirmed and I took communion and did confession..but by the age of 13 there was nothing you could say that could convince me that there was a God.
When I was six my parents separated. By the time I was seven they had another child and then split again. Ugh. My mother moved to America and my father moved me in with him. I love my Dad..but I've had to forgive him in my heart for that move. There was so much family strife. My step mother decided not to feed me so I'd lose weight..there wan't much to go to be honest. She also physically and mentally abused me. Even now I have body and self worth issues that I'm plowing through. My brother molested me..its a whole story that I just don't need to delve into again.
I moved to America and out of habit went to the old Catholic church up the block. I've moved next door to a Catholic church but I do not attend that. When I was 16 my mother got saved. I hated it..she'd go to church singing and humming and the praying. Good Lord. She started insisting that we go to church with her and I told her the Catholic church up the street was good enough for me. No such luck. We duked it out..and how. But I ended up going.
I got saved the summer before I turned seventeen. I was so in love with Jesus. I can't tell you how much. But eventually I turned away because my church was not a good example for a young believer. There was so much fighting and adultery and fornication and such even in the very sanctuary itself.
I went away to college and basically spent a good part of my freshman year in a bottle. I got sent to the hospital for stress. I partied all the time and drank so much I think my liver needed to retire. I returned home to just fighting with my mom. It was terrible. I couldn't wait for school.
Yeah..bad idea..I just took all this garbage with me.I was so depressed..I was partying and drinking on cruise control. I wasn't a Catholic anymore but my suspiscion of mother church was nil.
Then over the summer of my sophmore year I went to a new church and so much happened. I was freed of depression and so many other things..but I read the bible more and more and then I started taking issue with the Holy Roman Catholic Church.

The idea of the Pope- to me seems like bull honky. The pope is a very glorified person. He speaks many languages..is diplomatic and makes all these decisions ...a lot of wrong ones at times that he retracts...but yet he is infallible? He's God's representative on earth? God doesn't need anybody to represent him..you've seen people who find God outside of a formal church building and without believers there pumping information into them..so really what does he need with a pope...a highly fallible one at that? Also in Isaish 42:8 He said " I am the Lord. That is my name and my glory I will not give to another, neither my praise to any graven image." this covers so much more than the Pope.

Saints- As the above verse said "I am the Lord. That is my name and my glory I will not give to another, neither my praise to any graven image." Saints were people who lived..but who said Jesus needed help on the main line? He answers all the phones himself and sends timely answers. Did you know the early saints refused to have an image of the cross or any of another saint made or kept in their homes? This was a transfer of paganism to Catholicism made by an early pope.Praying to dead people who are only asleep as declared by 1 Corinthians 15 and then thanking them for results they had nothing to do with is a transferance of praise..think about all those little medallions and statues people have around...goodness.

Priests and the pope- I used to love Mass to see the priests dressed up. But a study of ancient pagan clothing shows that the exact garments the pagan priests wore those are worn today. The popal hat is really a giant rising phallus..and sadly all the turrets and steeples are pagan phalluses as well...God didn't need people to dress up. John the Baptist eschewed the priestly soft linens (his father was a priest) for camel hair clothing...and none of the priestly garb back in the day was purple no matter your rank. It was all white.

The Seven Sacrements - Lets run through them shall we? The Sacrement of Baptism -they are baptising infants..infants can't believe in Jesus for themselves...not until they start comprehending things. Mark 16:16 - Besides the infants and the Pope are missing something vital that comes after Baptism -The Holy Ghost Acts 2:38 and this isn't strictly after baptism some people receive it before. Nobody is talking in tongues..Latin ain't it. This is a must y'all. Mark 16:17 and Acts 2:39 prove that to this generation we still have the gift of tongues.

The Sacrement of Penance.-Now they are half right here...we can and should...must confess our sins..no doubts on that. To God however not man. No man can absolve us of anything. We can confess and do penance...but have we repented? In 1 John 1:9 We are told to confess to God and he will forgive us and cleanse of all unrighteousness..not a priest...but God.I was taught that we need to be truly sorry when we do penance..but can they really tell whether or not we've repented? No..I've been administered the Sacrement of Communion unhindered and so have other people in a sinful state without being hindered by the priest or the Holy Ghost ..and that's wrong because we bring a curse down on ourselves.1 Corinthians 11. God however knows what's truly going on. He said in his word Jeremiah 17:10 " I the LORD search the heart, [I] try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, [and] according to the fruit of his doings. " We have to be at the point where we can say according to Psalms 139:23 "Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me... and see if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting." God doesn't need lipservice..find the King David within and say Psalms 51:3-4 "
For I acknowledge my transgressions:and my sin is ever before me. Against thee, thee only, have I sinned,and done this evil in thy sight:that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest,and be clear when thou judgest. Verse 6"Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts:and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom." Verses 10-2"Create in me a clean heart, O God;and renew a right spirit within me.Cast me not away from thy presence;
and take not thy Holy Spirit from me.Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation;and uphold me with thy free Spirit."
No amount of sacrificing things we love and promises to do something to make it up..like penetant prayers from an unrepenting heart can make it up. Psalms 51:16-17 say "For thou desirest not sacrifice;else would I give it:thou delightest not in burnt offering.The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit:a broken and a contrite heart, O God,thou wilt not despise."
Be sorry for the wrong and do the right thing..I'll continue this tomorrow..there is so much to say..this would be a mighty long reading.

U can't see urself can u?

We cannot see ourselves as we are .. its not possible..some people think that they are nice compassionate friendly people..but there are at least two people that agree that he or she is an insufferable butt monkey from the planet retardo. Some people think they are mean and crotchety and they try to play against that ..and there are at least two people who would be surprised that that person would hold such a view ..they think they fell off the all things nice sugar dandy mobile..Don't fool yourself into thinking..I know more about me than anybody else...that's true and not true..You've been with yourself all your life but there are some memories that you are not privy to..some emotions that your unconscious just won't let you tap into ...You ever say something and there is a little niggly underthought behind your general thought ...your GT being what prompted you to speak and the NUT being the thing that you'd never actually say outloud? The NUT is the real you and the GT is the pretend you..sadly or gladly depending on which side you stand ..most people can pierce through the GT in nanoseconds to the NUT...so for every one person that says.."Oh he's such a nice helpful boy" there's another one saying " No he isn't ..he's a crude little pink pimple on the underarm of humanity and he deserves to regress to the ambiotic stage in the primordial soup because he's only ever acceptable as a one celled organism"....From the Christian point of view this is already known.."The heart (mind) is deceitful above all things and no man knows his own heart..but God tries the reins of the heart and rewards the man according to his action" Paraphrase of Jeremiah ...That's why there are some kind decent people you'd back over in your car without a second thought if you were ever privvy to their thought life..but you know what? Thanks to the internet more and more of the dark underbelly that lies in the human mind is seen because they take on anonymous screen names and become evil incomparable on line and their true character is known by someone who doesn't ever see them in the everyday..That sucks..I guess that I have no satisfactory conclusion for this ...because its a problem too big for my frail hands ..but there is someone that is going to correct this all..But in the meantime if you see someone who is a puss filled boil on the underbelly of society whose mouth is filled with putrid bile and whose every action stinks like the vomit they rose from that morning ...smile at them and bless them and pray that God will pluck their heart of stone away and give them a NUT of flesh!
