Admin	Shadow Christians: Step out into the Light! Posted : 12 May, 2011 05:17 PM Shadow Christians listen, obey and follow their Pastor or Church. Shadow Christians read and become knowledgeable of the Bible. Shadow Christians follow the Ten Commandments. Shadow Christians know Doctrine. Shadow Christians find comfort in ritual, rules and form prayers. What does Hebrews have to say about "Shadows"?..... They are to lead us to Jesus! There is nothing wrong with the shadows, however if one never embraces the reality they point to, they have fallen short of the real thing and lived a lie. Is the Bible the Word of God?.... No, it is a record of the Word of God; a shadow. Jesus is the real Word of God. One can read their cars owner manual to know out all 'about' their car, yes a good thing, however until they actually drive it, they will never truly 'know' their car. Post Reply

Without the Word,i would be just as the unbelievers. I would not be able to discern the authentic from the false, this includes false teachers,prophets and false Brethren. I would not know what Sin looked like. I would not know of my need for trusting Christ to save me from the wrath of GOD against unbelief. Withoutthe Word,i would not be knowing the person,life,character,and attitude of Christ,I might miss Him when He reveals Himself through tests,trials,and circumstances. The Word of GOD is not a shadow, Rather it is one way He uses to reveal himself to me. Without the Word,i would not have examples of GOD being Gracefilled,and merciful to others. GOD places His Word above His name. Since this is so,then I need the Word everyday,and i need the Holy Spirit revealing the Word and empowering me to understand that which is within the Word. If the holy Spirit is not making the Word of GOD real to me,then the Word is just that; words on a page. Since the Holy Spirit makes the Word real and living to me,then i have ABBA speaking with me wherever i go. If you have seen me,and known ,you have seenme,and known my Father also. For as the Son is,so also is the Father. Aloha PassedOver Post Reply
