I have been disaapointed with the quality of the topics on this site.
As well as some of the people here.
I was under the impression that the people here were tired of the S0-called 'church' and all of the nonsense going on by those calling themselves Leaders.
I see some,maybe most people here do not want freedom in Yeshua,they just want to be getting by with what they have been believing for soooo many years.
I thought that i might find at least ONE PERSON who i coud talk with regularly about the things of GOD.
Someone that was close to being like-minded as myself;
Yet alas,it has been the same as being in the same room with the Christians.
Some condemning you,and others.
Almost no edification to those that have different understandings about many things.
Yet some calling me an unbeliever,of the devil,being
angry,bitter,and uncaring about myself and others.
There have been a few bright spots though.
I have enjoyed when Thunder writes;
I see that he is an independent thinker,being concerned for others.
Willing to encourage as needed,and to rebuke as needed.
MsMarvel,is a delight.
I see that she has a sensitive spirit,that the Holy Spirit can convict,and bring about change in her life.
Growing in wisdom,grace,faith and in Knowing Yeshua.
Joeysings:
Another lovely lady,who has been a pleasure.
Intelligent,understanding the Word.
Willing to encourage and minister the Word to others.
There were others,yet these were removed.
I find some of the women here as angry,bitter and just plain sour as bitter lemons.
Having almost nothing constructive to say to myself,and others.
Then there is the man which thinks,he is the spiritual cop;
Cutting to shreds,almost everyone,and everything people would write.
Yet this man could not see that the very sin issues he pushed upon others,
He himself was so very guilty of,
And he did not want to be corrected in any way.
According to him,everyone was wrong,He was always right.
So sad,just sooooo sadddddddd.
Disappointments are bound to happen,as lng as this life continues.
It is how these disappointments are dealt with shows what is believed.
I will pray for those that argue,with me,and call me names.
I have pity for them seeing that they might be motivated by jealousy for the relationship,i have with my ABBA.
I hope that everyone has a Blessed and safe week.
Shalom
Meanie
ps:
I might not have very good grammar,for grammar is not going to save me from the Wrath of GOD against sin(s).
Yet by the Holy Spirit,He has given to me to knowing and trusting Yeshua to be saving me from the Wrath of GOD against sin(s).
You can pick your friends,where you live,and even your own NOSE;
I too have been saddened by plenty of the discourse on this area of the forum.
But, I expected that, although not quite to the degree I experienced it.
Like you said, though, there are Christians on here, that you do like discussing things with.
My biggest disappointment is with the common American Christian attitude concerning Scripture.
There is the attitude that church history is not important, and that we don't need to know what Christians have believed for two thousand years.
There is the attitude that being a member of the local church is not important, or necessary for the Christian life.
There is the attitude against any kind of scholarship, and instead the belief that when a Christian opens up the Bible, that somehow the Holy Spirit magically gives them the correct interpretation.
And there is Arminianism.... The belief that fallen mankind has a free will, and that his decision is what REALLY saved him.
Modern American Christians have a RADICALLY higher view of man, than what the Bible teaches, and correcting it takes time and putting the Scriptures before them over and over.
So, if you are disappointed, well, join the club.
That does NOT mean to give up though.....
It just means you should strive to improve.
Put forth what you think, and give scriptural evidence for it.
Examine your own beliefs, and listen to what others are saying to you.
Its disapointing that Christianity today is so watered down that almost no study is done,the bible is interperated in any way someone pleases.And God is seen as santa clause all love,no judgement.
Yeah, me too. I'm a bit sadden and disappointed that there are those who profess and confess that they are Christians yet, they don't believe that God Himself has placed some prophets, and some evenagelists, and some as pastors (shepherds) and teachers in the church over the flock of believers for the perfecting of the siants for the work of the ministry, for the edfying of the body of Christ... unitl we ALL come into the knowledge of the same faith as in Jesus Christ, so that we will not be tossed to and fo with every wind of false doctrine and teachings...so that we ALL may learn and know the difference bewteen the truth of God's word and false doctrine and teaching.
I'm disappointed that there is no personal spiritual insight into scripture from those who say they are Christians, and they are unable to discuss outside of what they find on the internet, and not from what the Holy Spirit reveals to them.
I'm disappointed there are some Christians who say they are Christians, but they try to judge and condemn everything that is place before them from scripture as being wrong.
I'm very sadden to think that God is disappointed in all of us on this forum site who confess and profess that we are Christian believers in Jesus Christ, and that we are filled with the Holy Spirit of God, yet there is no unity in the Spirit in one accord, in one spirit, in one mind, in one heart, in one agreement with what God has already written in His Holy word.
I'm disappointed that those who call themselves Christians think that other Christians are to agree to disagree with their off course or twisted beliefs, when God's word said we are to correct, rebuke, reproof, and instruct those who are on the wrong path and do not understand scripture properly by telling them the truth of His word in all firmness.
Yes, I'm very disappointed that there are those who try to judge and condemn others who believe in inch of God's word as to how we are to worship and praise Him, just because they cannot find anywhere in the New Testament of any bands or instrucments in the church, and question whether instrucments and bands in the church may or may not be Biblical for worship of our Lord who declares that ALL BELIEVERS who love Him should... Praise Him on string instrucments, Praise Him with the organ and piano, Praise Him in His sanctuary, Praise Him in the firmament of His power, Praise Him on the trumpet, Praise Him with the psaltery, Praise Him with the harp, Praise Him with the timbrel, Praise Him on the low cymbals, Prasie Him on the high sounding cymbals, Prasie Him with your voices, Praise Him with your singing, LET EVERYTHING THAT HAS BREATH PRAISE THE LORD!!!
I am so very. very disappointed in this notion from those who say they are Christians who speak about music and instrucments being in the church based on their wondering minds questioning whether or not this is biblical ... especially, when they do not EVEN ATTEND NOBODY'S CHURCH, PERIOD!... because NOW, they are getting into my business with their religious thoughts, trying to get rid of my job as a pianist in the church of the living God... these christians are crossing the line messing with my weekly salary:ROFL::excited::yay::boxing:
So, what's the solution of all the disappointments on this forum and in the world, that will bring about a resolve to disppointments?
POIC, please not worrying about your grammar and typing... I haven't seen too many on this forum who are THAT correct in their grammar, typing or spelling.May be its becasue I aint got it right either, and wouldn;'t know the difference, but I sure understand the message of what is being said or is being expressed:ROFL::dancingp:
Ain't nobody on this site looking at what you say or how you say it... and if there isi someone who is that concerned about what you say, or how you say it, then he/she has ssrious need to get off this site and go get a job at a grade, middle, or high school, or college in a classroom and get paid to grade papers, correct, and teach proper grammar needed for communication..
BUT, FIRSY!...I think he/she should go live in Englind for about ten years and LEARN for themselevs the proper grammar and english langague then come back to America and teach all of us with our no talking selves!...:laugh: :peace:
Stop your worry, be anxious about nothing, isn't this what the BIBLE teaches us?...
River, you are so right on! Its all over the forum and many think they are being holy and spiritual, and most of what they speak has not one thng to do with God's word of truth.
They try so hard to fit God's word into their religious thoughts, and get mad when they are corrected or rebuked after being told the truth even by the word of God.
They holla its not in the New Covenant and think peopel are suppose to listen and follow after their follishness, and don't understand or realize that when Jesus came and died He did not do away with the Old Covenant, that's not even in scriptures!
Jesus didn't do away with the Old Covenant rules, precepts, concepts or laws of God's truths, He fulfilled the practices of rituals and ceremonies that accomplisged nothing, He became a better offering for sins, He became a more excellent covenant, and sacrifice for our sins so that we can nowcome to Him in prayer of repentance. If in the Old testament they worship God with instructmenst and had leaders over them, why would Jesus come along and say ok, no more instrucments and worship leaders or pastors I'm here now? Doesn't make sense. Why satan was the worship leader in heaven before he got kicked out!...
Its totally insane for anyone to think the New Covenant prevents chuch things, just to jusitfy their OWN religious thoughts and lack of understanding. And those who are promoting such religous thouights, don't even believe in Christians going to church, or a building where Christians assemble together worship and praise God in one accord. This is UNBELIEVEABLE!... disappointed?... yeah I' too am disappointed:ROFL:
The word of God sets us free from the bondage of religion when you have a personal relationship with Christ, but a person can't be set free until they receive the truth of the word whether in the Old or New Covenant.
I'm very sadden to think that God is disappointed in all of us on this forum site who confess and profess that we are Christian believers in Jesus Christ, and that we are filled with the Holy Spirit of God, yet there is no unity in the Spirit in one accord, in one spirit, in one mind, in one heart, in one agreement with what God has already written in His Holy word.
Meanie:
ABBA is not disappointed in any of His redeemed chidren,
There is nothing which i have said or have done throughout my life thus far,that He has not known since before Je created everything.
ABBA cannot be disappointed,for His Paschel lamb had been slain at his hand.
His Meshiach has purchased with His blood,those whom He has known from before the foundation of htis creation.
His Only Begotten Son,had taken the place of sinful man,and He had carried all of the sin of man to Calvary.
Yeshua substitude His life for mine,Life for life.
Yeshuas' sacrifice had been recieved as payment in full,seeing that He is seated in the rigth hand of the Father,
Making intercession for me even as i write this.
If ABBA is disappointed in me,then He might be disappointed in himself,sseing that He has made me in His image.
The image is mared,He has justufued me in Yeshua.
Yet He has imputed the Righteousness,Holiness,and Sanctification to me,Now and Forever.
Though,i see myself as through a glass darkly,and at times what i see i abhor.
Yet there is a day when i will see clearly,and i will see myself completely in Yeshua as ABBA sees me.
Though i get disappointed with myself and with others,yet this is GODS account of how He sees myself and every blood purchased,adopted son and daughter of His.
Zep 3:17 The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing.
ABBA DELIGHTS over me,He dances over me,I Happen to be His delight,and so are those That trust Yeshua to save them from the wrath of GOD against sin(s).
Yeah, right! It all sounds great and good... however POIC, please, don't you ever take God for granted thinkingt hat God doesn't get disappointed in you or any of us when we frustarte His grace and the death of Hs Son... yes, if God got frustrated with the first bunch of doe-doe's in the Old Testement Aand regreted He ever created them, and destroyed the world by floods because of their sins, what do you think He is doing now to get our attention, and could and would do, and will do if we don't get it togethr and respect Him and honor Him as we should? That's why many are sick, dying, and losing eveything they own, no one praises God or worship Him, as Jesus says, they honor Him with their MOUTHS but their hearts a FAR FROM HIM... and it show if worship...
yes, if you love Jesus, then you would keep ALL His commendments in ALL THINGS AND NOT JUST A FEW IN THOSE THINGS THAT MAKES YOU FEEL GOOD INSIDE!
ABBA cannot be disappointed,for His Paschel lamb had been slain at his hand.
Statements like these you make Trucker George is what Floors me and I'm not Laughing...Father GOD did not slay Jesus by His own hand...People did...Evil, Prideful, Selfish, Self Centered and Legalistic people. And I am very Disappointed in this kind of babbling talk from any person claiming to be a Christian...xo
