Love the post as usual brother
Also when you say “
Christ and
also him crucified “
ypu arent sayong i only preach that Jesus was crucified but your preaching
the living lord Jesus that the gospel presents to us and also that he was put do death for our sins
“The beginning of
the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God;”
Mark 1:1 KJV
paul
“Paul, a
servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God, (which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,)
concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh; and
declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:
by whom
we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name: among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ:”
Romans 1:1-
some misinterpret paup as saying “ I only preach Jesus crucified when really he’s saying “ I preach the gospel of Jesus Christ our lord and his death and resurrection “
pauls letters are evidence of his doctrines ehoch touch on every point of doctrine
The basics are things like baptism , repentance and faith towards God , the resurrection , eternal judgement ect the things Jesus laid out in the gospel m sermons
“Therefore leaving
the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again
the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.”
Hebrews 6:1-2
maturity is when we begin allowing the teachings to change our minds and hearts through putting them into practice in our lives
“For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.”
Hebrews 5:12-14 KJV
bickering and arguing over basics that were established by Jesus in the gospel things like baptism ,
The resurrection of the dead and eternal judgement
“For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son: Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, and shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.”
John 5:22, 28-29 KJV
“
He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him:
the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.”
John 12:48 KJV
“But
whosoever shall deny me before men,
him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.”
Matthew 10:33
faith towards God
“Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but
he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.”
Matthew 7:21
Application of his word
“And
why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?…..
Luke 6:46 KJV
In a place like this we’ve argued about baptism for the three years I’ve been here , eternal judgement , repentance and faith towards God all the basic stuff that we. Need re taught over and over again. So we never move in to maturity applying the doctrine part that changes our hearts and minds it’s leaves us stunted eventually
when for the time ye ought to be teachers, y
e have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are
become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.
For every one that useth milk is
unskilful in the word of righteousness: for
he is a babe.
But
strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.”
When we’re a kid there’s a point where we begin taking responsability as we’ve learned our chores and duties in life and then we begin to walk it out . We make mistakes still learn from them and move forward but there’s no option to remain suckling on mamas teet at thirty three yes old is the point
eventually a fruit tree needs to bear fruit or it’s wasting soil , and if it begins to poison the relative trees around it it will be removed for certain by the Gardner
Children eventually have to grow up it’s just the nature of life itself even in Christ and an adults behavior is of self control in most instances we learn. Ot to run with our emotions and restrain initial carnal responses so as to not act in the flesh but in the spirit we’ve received from the lord by his gospel
“
It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing:
the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.”
John 6:63 KJV
divisions and immaturity are fruits of ck fusion of even the basic elements of the lords doctrine
“the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again
the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.”
Weve largely turned our ears away from the things Jesus taught in the gospel in his doctrine so those things are foreign To us and we have to argue about them
We’ve gotten away from the lords doctrine so few know what he said regarding the basics and it creates argument and confusion which isn’t authored by the lord
“Whosoever
transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. If there come any unto you, and
bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:”
2 John 1:9-10 KJV
eventually chrirtianity returns to Christ and his word
