GOATEE'S LETTING GOD BE GOD
Oswald Chambers: But you must always be willing to come to a point of giving up your convictions and traditional beliefs. Don't ask God to test you. Never declare as Peter did that you are willing to do anything even go to... but prison and death. Abraham did not make any such statement- he simply remained true to God and God purified his faith.1 Corinthians 10:9 We should not test the Lord, as some of them did.
You have alot of different believers. Some understand, some don't, and some have went nuts. I've tested myself, and people in alot of things for answers and ability to teach well. I'm no expert I'm no genius teaching reality brings life and stability and I got a bit of sense.com.
Had a guy way back say we are trying to mold men like in the days of old. Well I didn't agree and still don't. Paul, John, etc had the same God same Spirit just in a different time frame and culture. To try to be them as in their traditions well ?? go ahead?? any point?? not really/?
We have different issues and we are in a different culture. So what is the common sense idea to reach?? Seek God in the things today and idea's for salvation men have and are doing that why change it/? Satan doesn't fear tradition he will whoop us in that. He fears people in a connection with life. We can't have a Paul of today or a Peter. We can carry the anointing they had and bring life to people like they did.
It's dangerous to try to force character traits on people. Reason alot walk away, they can't because you are giving them impossible morals apart from Christ. Jesus is interested in Spirit filled vessels not nutty religious rule givers. People need a Holy Spirit charge and conscience to be good not a pushy boss.
I'm guilty following others in their insanity but now and alot seeking the Lord and knowing His truth I see now it's about Him and not me.
He is big enough to change mold and bring life to people without me beating people with do this and do that. Receive Him and live in the Life giving Spirit of Christ. That's salvation and faith with power (((ability to be))).
