Setting the record straight. Mars hill was a public place of debate. Msnbc or the other secular broadcasts are public, however slanted, places of debate to influence one way or another, its good for ratings to have equal opposition with in thier different programs so they tolerate the christian right and left, if it were not so you would never see christian anything on thier broadcasts period.
Christian Science is totally for thier own idealogy, nothing more or less. They are very pro-active and have an active plan to inflitrate the churches by allowing thier disciples to be both evangelical as well as CS. They actively send in teachers to christian churches to become part of the assembly of saints and become active inorder to take away disciples unto themselves, this isnt up for debate, this is real, this is factual, and this is happening all over the US right now and has been for many years and is gaing ground. I know of several pulpits who embrace CS doctrine along with some of thier evangelical orthodoxy. A kind of a mix.
Now you bring in a prominent blogger who by his own admission is no authority but none the less a very visiable person. He allows his views to be placed within that very thing that Paul warned about Act 20:27 For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.
Act 20:28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.
Act 20:29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
Act 20:30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.
Act 20:31 Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.
Act 20:32 And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.
By his consent He has bid the Christian Science Monitor God Speed, he has given the them the right hand of fellowship, contributed to thier efforts to undermine the church. Now he maynot have thought this through but that effect is the same. What next? Are christian writters going to allow thier writtings to appear in x rated maginzines or publications that are purely anti-christ from the get go? And for what? Money? Filthy Lucre? Reconition?
Brother Frank I don't think you understand exactly what it is I'm trying to head off or even say! There is a grave responsibility when one takes on the duty to be a teacher of men on any level, and as that responsibility grows so does the need for discernment and a knowing of the mind of Christ. If you can show me in scripture that Jesus, who said He would BUILD HIS CHURCH, is going to come back for a shrinking failed defeated body of believers I will be still, but the truth is that buildings and labels may pass away but the victorious cross carring saints of God will become more and more liberal and move from grace to grace as the end times come to a close.
What concerns Me most about his observations is he makes no mention of the soon return of Jesus Christ or the coming of the bridegroom for his bride. He sets a date for the full colapse of the church but forgets that we may not have but a handful of years left, at best. Now if I was transfixed 10years down the road I probably wouldn't see the thief enter my house tomarrow and suffer spoil or loss. I almost feel bad about being so hard on this issue but the Word I'm hearing from the Lord is one that should make every church , every christian in America shake, the day of reconing is upon us. The times of playing church are over. There will be a serious settling over the churches by the presence of God and for those who do not repent, the glory will depart for good. The Holy Spirit will stop striving with man and no matter how big some of these churches are, quickening life will cease as one by one thier lamps will fail because of the lack of oil in thier lamps. At that point they will fully embrace doctrines of demons and fall head long into delusion, believing a lie and not the truth, they will have prepared thier souls for an eternal hell, thinking they are going to heaven they will standing before the great king who will ask them why they have no wedding garments on, no answer to give they will be casty into outer darkness forever where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. And so I take the direction of any leader very serious because precious souls hang in the balance. Even if I try I can not bring myself to picture anyone in hell, no matter how hard I try and no matter who it is I may try to picture there. So to thoughs who I probably offended I'm sorry. But I can't bring myself to stand down on this matter, the time is to short, the things of this life are about to speed up and change very fast, and the souls of the world hang in the balance.
