each of us have a different walk in life that has lead us to where we are....if you believe in Christ, that he died for your sins and rose again in the third day, we are brothers in Christ...if I be a liar and not believe, then you are correct, I have a warped belief system....but I will say this.....I have watched families tear each other apart in my local churches, including members of my own family....most of it pertaining to judgement of brethren....Many in this church doctrine look for rebuke at the drop of a dime.....I do not see the love Jesus spoke of and what Paul repeated over and over....a doctrine that leads a congregation to look at one another in rebuke, and forego the work at the cross, as the members call out sin amongst each other is heart breaking to me...family’s literally fall apart and the message is lost....I believe that Christ died for all sin, I believe that Christ fulfilled the law at the cross as he said it is finished....I believe we are in the dispinsation of grace, that we are meant to accept the lamb that god promised us in genesis, as sufficient to cover the sin of the world. That does not mean it is ok to sin....we are to grow in Christ Jesus as we read all of his inspired word....but I do not believe that the specifics of his teaching, referring to the deciples that were commission goto the lost sheep of Israel Matthew 10. And not go unto the gentiles, was pertinent and had a reason...I believe that reason was manifested in Paul on the way to Damascus....I believe he is the apostle to the gentiles (in writing) for I know that now there is neither Jew nor gentile...but during Christ’s earthly ministry....there were Jews and gentiles....and Jesus told the deciples specifically not to go the gentiles...I believe this is purposeful and with great meaning, as to the gentile at that time, were being reserved for Paul, whom was to show them the mystery we have all read about....why such a mystery? Why such imphasis on a message if it were not to be different than what Jesus was telling the deciples to do, as they were told to goto the lost sheep of Israel and not leave....at this time, a mystery that god said was held hidden from all until it was revealed to Paul in the way to Damascus....that was that the gentile would be grafted into the fold and be given a gift of salvation through grace and no works of his own....why does it feel as though no one sees this mystery as anything special? Why was it held in secret as god spoke of it? I have not forsaken my god, his son whom died for me, or the Holy Spirit that I know resides in me....but I cannot see how it is profitable to take 1 ounce of glory from Christ and what he died for...it feels very unnatural to me to hear a congregation in church, preach from the book of Matthew, And not bring the scriptures into context, that is was before the crusifictiin, and applied under the law.....I know that we are not under the law....the law is what was given to show us our sin, without the law, and with the grace of god that is now given to us through his son, we have been redeemed....Paul does take issue with slipping back into slavery and bondage? What does he mean is he does not mean the law? Either we are subject to it, or we are not....there is no in between. Christ was crucified so that we would no longer be in bondage or slavery....the gospels that Jesus taught were before this amazing gift was given....our Christ had not been out in the cross....so how does teaching scripture that is not put into context, and taught as though it were just as relevant as the message of Christ crucified make any sense? You all know well what Matthew, Luke, Mark is the inspired word of god, and you all know well that Paul was a Jew and taught Jews and gentiles alike....when you read the scripture, and you see Paul speaking of the Jew, under the law, it is a different message to the gentile whom is not under the law.....2 specific messages preached amoung 2 different people as Paul has said.....so why am I teaching false doctrine if what I read is plain to see and without an ulterior motive?
