This book was released on 2008-03-27 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This writing is from excerpts found in the book, “Division Among Christians:Disregarding God ́s Word,” by Ronald E. Matteson. Christianity was meant to be the worshiping of God, The Almighty, through Jesus Christ, by use of HEAVENLY words, Heavenly wisdom, and Heavenly understanding. Christianity has been moved from unity toward division by the influx of certain WORLDLY influences, and WORLDLY desires. In the early days of Christianity, the movement of division was due to the actions of some Christian humans who claimed that their leader was the, (a supposed,) actual visible god almighty on earth, and that salvation could take place only in their group and only under their leader. In return for a donation to the group, there came an offering of forgiveness of all debts due to sin, (the same debts God had already forgotten about,) also appearing was an implication of, (supposed,) salvation. Some worldly words, worldly desires, and worldly interests, of the group, caused the over-writing of some true Heavenly words from GOD’S MOUTH, and this action was defended by the word “tradition.” When some of the group’s priests were exposed to having homosexual relationships, it was possibly found necessary to soften the embarrassment by holding that the priests were tempted beyond the priest’s control, and that “the priest’s sexual actions were NOT SINFUL, in and of the priest’s behavior.” The group considers SAME GENDER sexual temptations, and acts as not sinful,(Homosexuality and Roman Catholicism, Wikipedia Encyclopedia). The group’s conclusion is DISCRIMINATORY when they compare sexual temptation and drive found in non-homosexuals, to the sexual temptation and drive found in homosexual’s. Only God, The Almighty, the creator of humans, is able to JUSTLY COMPARE sexual, temptations, and drives, found in both the homosexual, and in the non-homosexual. The group has concluded that homosexual temptation, and drive is much greater than non-homosexual temptation, and drive. Therefore, the homosexual’s actions are NOT sinful, but the non-homosexual’s actions are sinful. This unjust conclusion is due to worldly wisdom. The group has not relied on God’s applicable Heavenly words which denounce homosexual activity. GOD SAID, "One man must not lie with one other man, as he would lie with a woman for this is a hateful thing. Any man who does this must be CUT OFF FROM MY PEOPLE." (PRIESTS are INCLUDED,) Leviticus 18: 22, 29. The group’s worldly opinion concludes that God’s COMPASSION will either resolve the homosexual’s behavior, or on judgment day God will FORGIVE those displaying such homosexual actions since their acts are not sinful. Words from the MOUTH OF GOD, The Almighty, will not support any of the group’s above-mentioned conclusions. Now making an appearance are certain Bishops from various Protestant Denominations, who follow this same homosexual subject matter, and lead some of their flock down the evil path. The Bishops, more than likely, at some time in the past, have referred to the instigators as being worldly, yet the Bishops accept the instigator’s worldly view on homosexuality. DIVISION WITHIN the various denominations is on an INCREASE, and with no end in sight. The time has arrived when certain church members are beginning to leave their present denomination, and seek a denomination which, without a doubt, follows God’s true word. Remember that one does not enter the Kingdom of God because one belongs to a given-named denomination. Jesus Christ said, “will there be any, (heavenly,) FAITH on earth when I return,” Luke 18: 8. One, including those involved in homosexual activity, should now try to gain the necessary understanding as to believe at least some of the true heavenly words which claim that NOT ALL OF US WILL REMAIN IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD AS TO BE SAVED, Matthew 22:14; Luke 13: 23- 27; Romans 9: 27. The more disgusting of recent events is caused by some Christian leaders who CONSPIRE, and appr

The second book, Reaching Forth, explains how to glean the basic information needed to grow, mature, and profit spiritually from the Bible and its message in order to become both victorious and fruitful in the Lord. Chapman teaches that the Bible does not need decoding; it only needs to be understood and its message embraced. It is the word of God that produces life, health, peace, victory, prosperity, deliverance, and abundant blessings for believers even in these tumultuous end-times.

Download or read book Divide And Conquer The Mystery Revealed written by B. L. Knepper and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014-08-21 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Divide And Conquer..." is a study in "rightly dividing the word of truth" (II Timothy 2:15). The study demonstrates the diametric opposition between the Law program that the Nation of Israel entered into with God, and God's response to her generations of rebellion to the benefit of all mankind who choose surrendering faith over their own works of righteousness for salvation. There is only futility and confusion that believers suffer from when they try to apply the program and promises from a different people to their lives. What an unfortunate blow to one's faith it is to feel as though God is not answering their prayers, to feel like they cannot understand the Bible, and to feel like something is wrong with them. But most damaging is that the love they may have had for the Holy Scriptures at one time diminishes as they struggle from a weak understanding. God Himself fully intends that the excellency of His power work in our inner man through the right understanding of His Word.

Download or read book A House United written by Francis Frangipane and published by Chosen Books. This book was released on 2006-03-01 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few works of the enemy are so destructive, so wrenching to the body of Christ as division in a church congregation. The reasons are many and include ambition, bitterness, and jealousy. Once a wedge is driven into the heart of a church, the congregation and pastor are usually destroyed by bitterness, gossip, rebellion and even hatred. Until now wounded flocks and broken pastors have had little direction for healing. With candor and insight, Francis Frangipane exposes the true force that pits Christians against one another. He explains what to do if caught in a split and offers safeguards against future strife. Here is help for churches to heal the rifts and move forward into Christlikeness once again.

Download or read book Covenant Healing written by Timothy J. Horner, and published by Covenant Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2019-06-03 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A call to action: God calls us to unite, but the enemy's tactic is continuous strife. Whose mold are you looking to fit into? If all Christians believe that we are made in God's image, why do we ostracize, shame, persecute, and otherwise hurt our fellow brothers and sisters? Are we not called to do His will? Are we not all God's children? The Apostle Paul tells us in Galatians that, "There is no Jew or Greek, slave or free, male or female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus" (Galatians 3:8). Faithful followers of Jesus Christ are all joined together as one in the body of Christ. Every believer has an interconnection that shares in one Holy Spirit and worships one Lord (see Ephesians 4:3-6). Evil has a way of inserting itself even into our most sacred spaces, seeking to destroy the belief in all that is good and ultimately dividing the Christian church. This can take the form of disparagement between Christians of different denominations and various forms of slander that sadly take place between clergy. Join us as we walk in unison through God's Word, the facts, church history, doctrines, and the belief similarities to call upon the unification of the body of Christ.

Download or read book Let There Be No Divisions Among You written by Rev John Maclaughlin and published by Sophia Institute Press. This book was released on 2017 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With clear, compelling logic bolstered by countless Scriptural confirmations, Fr. John MacLaughlin here considers the oft-heard claim that it doesn't matter what Christian denomination you join, so long as you're sincere. Formally known as Indifferentism, this view has in recent centuries taken deep root among Christians. Indeed, indifferentism is the enemy not only of Protestantism and Catholicism, but of Christ Himself, who revealed to His apostles scores of truths about Himself and the way of salvation, never encouraging them to pick and choose among those truths. Not only then, argues Fr. MacLaughlin, is one Christian denomination not as good as another; embracing the wrong one can lead a good-hearted soul into utter unbelief, jeopardizing his salvation. For this reason, Fr. MacLaughlin devotes the second half of this immensely popular book to delineating for readers the two fundamental characteristics that will ever and always be found in the one Church that Christ founded and to which he intends all men and women to belong. Among the things you will learn here: How indifferentism threatens your salvationWhere Christ forbids preaching some doctrines while ignoring othersThe two marks the of the true church delineated by Christ HimselfDenominational lethargy: how sticking with the Faith you were born into can violate the First Commandment . . . and risk your salvationDecrees of the Council of Jerusalem (ca. 50 a.d.): proof that the apostles themselves denied that one Christian faith is as good as anotherHow consideration of indifferentism draws inquirers to the true churchHow the profusion of Protestant sects reveals the need for a final authorityThe universality of the True Church: lt existed already at Pentecost, before the Church spread beyond Jerusalem (and one Church has that very same universality today)The religion revealed by Christ: In its essentials, it's clear, definite, unchanging.

Download or read book 10 Issues That Divide Christians written by Alex McFarland and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2014-02-13 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is agreeing to disagree good enough for God's family? Christians don't necessarily agree with each other when it comes to questions of religious pluralism, homosexuality, the role of government, abortion, and war. Too often, we manage these disagreements by ignoring them. Yet we are called to engage the world for the sake of Christ. How can we be effective if we avoid society's most pressing questions? In 10 Issues That Divide Christians, Alex McFarland challenges Christ-followers to drill down to the biblical core of ten current issues--such as social justice, evil and suffering, pornography, and environmentalism, among others--and echoes the biblical invitation: "Come let us reason together." Only by engaging the Scriptures deeply, thinking clearly, and speaking truthfully can we in God's family address our differences and discover the peace that comes with unity of purpose. With the Bible as our guidebook and the Spirit as our guide, we can respond to today's urgent questions with the mind of Christ.
