Thank you GaryA:)

We have heard for years that in our flesh we can't minister or worship because our righteousness is as filthy rags. Yet what we hear from the platform is filthiness from fleshly ministers who by Scripture can do no better. The old saying about computers rings out loudly: "Garbage in, garbage out."

I am not on the outside of this. I had to pray & search my own heart about these things. We all have to be on watch & guard our hearts. As a watchman on the wall, what would be my judgment if I didn't post this? Jesus told us to "watch and pray" . Mark13:33Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye...

You might say, How can they do such a thing? They don't search the scriptures to prove the doctrines they teach. They don't "seriously" pray to God about their P&W songs to confirm whether they are of God. "If it feels good, that's good enough", or "A brother / sister I know recommended it, & I...

When I typed the title, I double-spaced between words for clarity. It took hours to be posted, & when I saw it, I tried to change it, but it was too late.

I agree, thank you. I knew when I first read over this it was going to be an uphill battle. I suspected also the haters would come out in droves, but so far not too bad. There is more to this, & I have to continue. But I have to say this: When I agreed to post this, I didn't worry about who...

There is no way to do this gently, I wish there was. I was watching a video on the internet, & the beginning of this came upon me & at first I didn't know what to do with it. The more it went over & over in my mind, the more I felt the need to type it out, so I did. The more I typed, the more it...

Please understand, I don't feel the least qualified neither does this bring me any happiness whatsoever.

It is not my intention to get christians to doubt their ministers or their salvation. My sincere desire is to get people to prove whether or not these things exist in their own churches. Don't simply take it for granted that it isn't, as if you're magically protected from it. In order for the...

Continued... The same people can't truly worship God during praise & worship because they can no longer discern the difference between spiritual praise & excitement. So what do they do? They borrow from the popular worship leaders on the internet, who they don't really know, but because everyone...

Listen carefully to what I am about to say.... The greatest hypocrisy in the church are those with well-intentioned actions in church that preach, teach, & worship as if they are legitimately spiritual, but are not. Well-intentioned because they want to do the right things, worship the right...

NO. NEVER glorify man before God. That is an abomination before God. I suppose the "eat the meat & spit out the bones" saying is acceptable. Fine, feed that to the babes in Christ & watch them choke on them instead of feeding them the sincere milk of the Word. Those that don't stand for...

I agree. But I don't hear God getting glory here, man is. That's exactly my point. People give men glory, but not God. How many times have we heard the phrase "great man of God" instead of "God greatly used him"?

1 So much for high christian standards.:rolleyes:

I think in general the whole world will 'covenant' with him due to his control of the masses. One has only to look at the current world to see many already doing just that.

And there we discover the problem. The workless church that sits on their hands & expects the leadership to cater to them. To answer the question of the Op, I'd say more people than I would think, because God's grace is greater than all my sins.

When christians consider what's "too worldly" for them, everybody has their own standards. The actual truth, IMO, is that the church has a nasty little habit of doing what is right in their own eyes. I say that with myself in mind, not everybody else. With standards constantly changing in the...

IF It were only about smoking, I would be more lenient. 2 things much more important than that: He wrote stories about mythological creatures, witches, devils, & the like in his fictional stories while not writing about God or Christ at all. Yet many in christianity swoon over him like he's a...

That makes his theology untrustworthy.

How does one drink 48 ounces of beer in the morning without getting a buzz from it? There's only one way I know... an alcoholic.
